18.1.3 Father-and-son arrangement
When connecting two engines of different type and/or size to the same reduction gear the
minimum crankshaft distance has to be evaluated case by case. However, some general
guidelines can be given:
●
It is essential to check that all engine components can be dismounted. The most critical
are usually turbochargers and charge air coolers.
● When using a combination of in-line and v-engine, the operating side of in-line engine
should face the v-engine in order to minimise the distance between crankshafts.
●
Special care has to be taken checking the maintenance platform elevation between the
engines to avoid structures that obstruct maintenance.
