CONTROL TEST PROCEDURES
14.127
MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION
14.1 OVERVIEW
Once the vessel assembly has finished, the installation must be checked to guarantee proper operation,
according to the information herein. Control procedures must be carried out in every new installation
and before starting mass production.Thus, eventual modifications may be timely introduced. Some con-
trol operations and the measurement of operating parameters can only be carried out onboard dur-
ing navigation.
Control procedures are generally carried out by IVECO technicians or IVECO Authorised Agents’ tech-
nical personnel. Together with the dockyard staff who may be in charge of navigating the vessel and, if
necessary, adjusting navigation procedures to ensure adequate navigation and installation conditions
according to the manufacturer’s indications.
The control operation comprises two main phases: the first one corresponds to examining the engine
and onboard installations; the second phase, carried out at sea, implies checking the engine and vessel
performances and assessing some important parameters that are essential to ensure proper engine
running conditions.
Upon writing the report, the following conclusions must be added:
«The information herein applies to the fully equipped vessel, with the examined configuration and according
to the test conditions under which the index parameters required to assess the operative electrical functions
in the engine were measured.
It is clearly stated that the installation control operations cannot provide for behaviour or performance assess-
ments in the course of time, which are typically yield by test runs carried out by the vessel manufacturer.
IVECO shall not be liable for failures in manufacturing.The vessel manufacturer shall be responsible for observ-
ing all aspects to prevent personal injury and property damage.»
Instructions to carry out both phases are briefly described below.
14.2 STATIC TEST
According to the appropriate checklist, the following shall be carefully registered:
■
Name and characteristics of the vessel and its destination.
■
Engine model and registration number
■
Installation system and proper tilting.
■
Type of transmission (reverser, shafts assembly, etc.).
■
Characteristics of the propeller
■
Auxiliary power take-off
■
Easy access to carry out maintenance procedures
■
Intake and discharge systems and ventilation of engine room
■
Cooling system installation (sea water circuit)
■
Fuel supply installation
■
Electrical installation, controls.
The checklist writing, with subsequent added notes, aims to register the outstanding installation char-
acteristics in order to make a comparison with the instructions provided in this Handbook.
