Since 1976 until 1981 a+the company Nautconsult (Singapoor flag) had 4 ship with same engine ,their names Santa Ursula ,Santa Teresa ,Santa Ines ,Santa Isabela ,the all were building in Brasil.The engine were the old technology ,but low consuption.I been as second engineer,and worked 5 years in two ship .The engine had 3 pistons the numers uno ,two and 3 ,that in low RPM served as scaving air systems till, de turbo blower increased the pressure and rpm. Thank you for reading me Alfredo Verdun Ch/Eng. from Uruguay
als Ing.-Assi durfte ich genau diese Maschine fahren (MS Moselstein NDL, 1965/66).Ich mußte weinen als ich diesen Film der Cap San Diego gesehen habe , hab mir grad die Tränen abgewischt. Schön, ganz schön. Danke
The deep Thumping Sound actually is the Scavenge Air Pump (is it even called like that in English? Modern Ships have electric Auxilary Blowers instead so I only know its German Name "Spülpumpe" and translated it to English) which blows fresh Air into the Cylinders at Bottom Dead Center. It is located behind the Air Filters, at the same Deck as the Injection Pumps. See 08:47 for Reference.
Cap San Diego, judging by the pictures of Vessel Finder database, is a very elegant cargo vessel, with a distinctive central accommodation and bridge, white finish, built-in cranes, an iconic vessel of 50s/60s. Maybe somme cabins were available for a small number of passengers, I imagine sailing to Central America or the Gulf of Guinea… Well done !
The ship is now a living museum in Hamburg. You can book one of the passenger cabins for an over-night. About 80 Euros. You can even book some trips along the River Elbe. I was on duty on this ship in 1972.
There were many beautiful ships, but th Cap San ships from the 50 and 60 years were the most beautiful cargo ships ever built. My opinion. I was 10 years old when it was built, now I'm 70. I think Cap San Diego looks today younger than I did. lol
@@carracca Exactly. And there used to be Cabins for up to 12 Passengers, as that is the Limit of Passengers allowed on a Cargo Ship. They were very popular, because Transatlantic Flights were very expensive in the 1960ies. Btw. the Cap San Diego still is registered as Cargo Ship (it's too large to be cosnidered a Museum Ship by German Law), so during the Sea Cruises e.g. to Heligoland or from Cuxhaven to Bremerhaven, there can't be more than 12 Passengers on Board. The Ticket Prices are accordingly ridiculous, but there are People willing to pay that. When sailing on Inland Waters like the Elbe or Weser Estuaries, Kiel Canal or Kiel Bay, it can carry up to 500 Passengers.
Museum ship 60 years old, the guys who care for this ship do a good job. I think it looks better today than it was during ongoing operations many years ago.
WoW A nine unit MAN of old version. Bosch fuel pumps. Telescopic cooling pipes. Well maintained and kept clean. Wonder if it is still running in 2020. Thanks
Yes she is, she does little passenger trips on the river Elbe and the German coast a few times a year. Currently everything is on hold though, due to that damn virus.
Difficult to find a YT video on this kijnd of marine engines .I remember dual scavenging headers and the " Holy" buttefly valve used to connect the two headers parallel or serie . During manoeuvers , it was the art of the second engineer to open or close the butterfly valve at the most appropriate moment without screams from the turbo blowers .
A fabulous video! The curious look that plunges into the abyss of the machine, as when I was young. The sound cradles me so much, I doze and see myself on board with my father chief mechanic and my mother too when they were of this world ... Thank you for this journey in time: for this is wonderful
Anthony Xuereb Although the statement is quite dramatic and over the top it is not my writing. 'the sounds of GODS heart beat' is a clumsy statement. 'The word Sound' should be singular. I have found several comments with my name that aren't mine over the years. I write short stories and take care to edit out errors.
Charlie K First of all: it is fantastic that the vessel was saved from the breakers. I liked working with Sulzer engines, and there must be a reason why that M.E. was painted black.
Very nice going guys but I didn't see a young person around learning to continue the legacy, it takes years to learn all it takes to keep that outstanding work of engineering going.
Ja sam pomorski strojar odnosno Chief engineer. Završio školu u vremenu bivše Jugoslavije, bio sam pomoćni strojar pa treći, drugi, prvi i na kraju glavni strojar na brodovima bivše Jugolinije (stariji pomorci će se sjećati te kompanije i prekrasnih brodova). Ja sam počeo na brodu sa glavnim motorom puno starijim od ovog B&W bez turbopuhala. Zrak je nabijan u motor preko Rootovog puhala pokretan lancem. Radio sam na dvoradnom motoru također MAN (double action engine) sa dvije cilindarske glave (gornja i donja kroz koju je prolazila stapajica prema križnoj glavi! Moje pomorsko iskustvo kao strojar (PROUD ENGINEER) je bilo veliko i zanimljivo na svim tipovima motora pa čak i četverotaktnim DEUTZ motoru gao glavnom pogonskom stroju. Poslije sam radio na brodovima za prevoz kontainera a njemačke kompanije. Moji zadnji motori su bili SULZER RTA 72, 76, 84 i 96. Međutim ovaj video me vraća u neka druga prekrasna vremena i zato sa zadovoljstvom sam pogledao ovaj video sa PREKRASNIM brodom i prekrasnim glavnim motorom u vremena kad je nekadašnja Jugolinija (ex Yugoslavia) imala slične brodove koji su imali dušu! ❤❤❤👍
Nope; it's counterflow Scavenging. The Exhaust Gas Outlets are just located above the Scavenge Air Inlets in the Cylinder Liner, so the Scavenge Air has to blow all the Way up and then down again through the Cylinder.
Nope, that's the Scavenge Air Pump on three Cylinders. It is necessary to maintain Scavenge Air Pressure at low RPM when the Turbochargers aren't effective yet.
How old this engine or the year it was built. Whats the name of the ship. Im also a marine engineer by profession but i never encounter this type of engine that such cylinder head is round.
The Name of the Ship is in the Title. The Cap San Diego was built in 1962 and Two Stroke Engines with Exhaust Gas Valves weren't a Thing back then. There is a Butterfly Valve in the Exhaust Gas Receiver though, which allows the Engine to be Turbocharged. I'm planning to make a Video about how Marine Two Stroke Diesel Engines work where I use some Footage of a Modelof a similar Engine made by Sulzer where you can see the Butterfly Valve very clearly. I can link it here once I've uploaded it if I don't forget it until then.
What a beast! The injector pump(s) are as big as an engine for a diesel semi truck.😮 I was wondering about the firing order from the sound, but I see it's actually a 9 cyl.?
@@ВиталийД-э6г Да , можно! Wartsila, Caterpillar, B&W - машины , которые работают от ремонта до ремонта, и на них очень редко случаются аварийные ситуации.
Как вы правы у нас эти двигателя называли "Смерть за Сталинград" тяжелейшая машина в ремонте, сколько я на них в тропиках моточисток перехерачил, как ни порт , поршень а то и два. Зульцер, Бурмейстер намного превосходили в плане ремонтопригодности и по мото-часам эти маны особенно эти KZ девятицилиндровые ГДР постройки.
@@ВалентинаИванченко-э4ч С моим участием, за 7 лет на "Береге Мечты" было поднято 111 поршней, из них около 20 сделал завод, все остальное своими силами.
@@carracca Beachtlich, wie vermutlich auch der Verbrauch. Verlustschmierung scheint auch noch vorhanden zu sein. Schade, ich werde sie nicht selbst erleben können...
That engine is too old....I been worked in Santa Ursula vessel in 1976..twoo blower bb.for sea speed and for reduce revolutions a system scaving very bad
I was chief engineer in charge during two years in a glp tanker with a M.A.N of 18.000 búho. Never seen never an worst engineer in my life. I preffer the B&W, Sulzer, and Gotaverken
I am sorry sir I dont need to built one, there are a lot of excellents marine engines , but not the MAN the worst over the seven seas, and sorry again I dont like lost my time speaking with wipers or oliers.
@@alejandrodociosampablo4882 your just a arrogant engineer. Go work on pielstick and have fun. I quite able to talk about this I don't give fuck if youre a chiefengineer
A very old engine but doesn't exactly look in good condition. Reminds me of something that's been bodged over the years just to keep it going. The many layers of paint badly applied don't help..
That's a Museum and one of the best preserved Museum Ships in the World. MAN actually remade (30 Years after Serial Production ceased) and donated three Cylinder Covers once they needed replacement.
