Commercial shipping is currently dominated by mega container vessels. The shipping industry has seen a 10-fold increase in the size of containers over the last four decades. These vessels are propelled by large marine diesel engines, hereafter referred to as the main engine. The performance of the main engine is determined by its subsystems. An important part of the main engine is the turbocharging system, which contributes to its safety, efficiency, and reliability. In this study, the effectiveness and reliability of the turbocharging system are evaluated. The Australian Maritime College has a Kongsberg Engine Simulator that can produce a variety of malfunctions on a running engine's turbocharging system. Analyzing the results obtained from the simulator determines the efficiency of the turbochargers. The study will provide recommendations for improving the safety of the turbocharging system for better performance to be achieved by the turbochargers, leading to an improvement in the main engine's performance. Last, the reliability of the turbocharging system is evaluated quantitatively using a fault tree analysis and reliability block diagrams. This will enable an optimum maintenance strategy to be established to ensure the safe operation of the vessel.

大型集装箱船涡轮增压效率、安全性和可靠性分析

商业航运目前以大型集装箱船为主。在过去的四年里，航运业的集装箱尺寸增长了 10 倍。这些船舶由大型船用柴油发动机推动，以下称为主机。主机的性能由其子系统决定。主机的一个重要组成部分是涡轮增压系统，这有助于其安全性、效率和可靠性。在这项研究中，对涡轮增压系统的有效性和可靠性进行了评估。澳大利亚海事学院有一个 Kongsberg 发动机模拟器，可以在运行的发动机的涡轮增压系统上产生各种故障。分析从模拟器获得的结果决定了涡轮增压器的效率。该研究将为提高涡轮增压系统的安全性提供建议，以使涡轮增压器实现更好的性能，从而提高主机的性能。最后，使用故障树分析和可靠性框图定量评估涡轮增压系统的可靠性。这将有助于制定最佳维护策略，以确保船舶的安全运行。
