Engines

An overspeed trip is required to ensure that fuel supply will be

cut o from engine if its speed exceeds the predetermined Try Our E Books
value.
Over speeding will result if there is
1. ·        Sudden removal engine load such as propeller
coming out of water in rough weather, failure of clutch,
fracture in a drive shaft of engine.
2. ·        Stuck fuel control shaft.

Any trip requires manual resetting. It should not be able to

automatically reset after speed is reduced as reason
for overspeeding may still exist and engine may race again. It
needs to be tested periodically to ensure its correct
functioning. Sometimes engines are tted with two
independent over speed trips, an electro-pneumatic device
with trip setting at 15% above nominal speed and a mechanical
device with trip setting at 18% above nominal speed.

The electro pneumatic device as tted on Wartsila engine is as 2

shown above. A spring loaded pneumatic cylinder is 8
tted at each fuel pump and when tripping occurs each fuel Rea
pump rack is moved to ‘no-fuel’ position. During normal d:
operation the spring force keeps the operating end of the rod Sail
clear of the pin at the end of the fuel rack, which can then be or
moved to any desired position. Co

Should over speeding occur the solenoid valve is actuated

which admits air into the cylinder to act on the piston, moving

it against the spring force. This causes the operating end of the

piston rod to pull the pin at the end of the fuel rack fully over,

shutting o fuel completely.

In  Sulzer engines, a collapsible link is tted between the

Hello, so the di erence between the mechanical type overspeed O cer SSO Course Approved
trip and the electronical type overspeed trip is not the way that the Institutes
turbine trips but taccuracy of speed sensing?

in both systems the trip is achieved with the bolt ejecting out? Institute of Maritime Studies
