Marine Compressed Air System

U ovom radu opisan je sustav komprimiranog zraka na brodu. Obrađeni su svi njegovi elementi te je pomno opisana njihova uloga u sustavu. Komprimirani zrak se koristi za mnoge svrhe na brodu, te je ujedno jedan od najvažnijih sustava. Za pokretanje propulzijskog motora tlakovi se kreću od 25-30 bara te se za tako velik tlak upotrebljava dvostupanjski dvocilindrični kompresor zraka. Radi što boljeg uravnoteženja oscilirajućih masa, odnosno što mirnijeg rada odabran je V raspored cilindara.Marine compressed air system is presented in this paper. Every component of the system has been elaborated together with its distinctive function in the system. Compressed air is used for many purposes on board and it is for sure one of the most important systems. In order to start a propulsion engine, pressures of 25 to 30 bar are required and for such high pressures a two-stroke two-cylinder air compressor is used. To achieve better balancing of the masses, i.e. the quieter operation, the V cylinder arrangement was chosen
