TASK 2
System Description of Combination of Diesel and Gas Turbine Engine
Types of Engines
Diesel Engines
Power created through combustion and transmit to the crankshaft (Thermal Energy →
Kinetic Energy)
Operating cycle
Two-stroke engine Four-stroke engine
Speeds
Slow Speed Any engine maximum operating speed up to 300 rpm
Medium Speed Any engine maximum operating speed in the range 300-900 rpm.
High Speed Any engine with a maximum operating speed above 900 rpm.
Gas Turbine
Power created through combustion and transmit to the shaft via Turbine (Thermal
Energy → Kinetic Energy)
1. The gear ratio is the relationship between the numbers of teeth on two gears that
are meshed or two sprockets connected with a common roller chain, or the
circumferences of two pulleys connected with a drive belt.
2. New CODAG propelled Fridtjof Nansen class frigate of the Royal Norwegian
Navy, the gear ratio for the diesel engine is changed from about 1:7.7 (engine:
propeller) for diesel-only to 1:5.3 when in diesel-and-turbine mode.
3. Some ships even have three different gear ratios for the diesel engines: one
each for single diesel and double diesel cruises and the third when the gas
turbine is engaged.

Cooling System
1. To dissipate heat.
2. To control the cooling water temperature properly.

Conclusion
The reason why I chose combination of diesel and gas turbine propulsion plant
system is because it could apply two applications, it have diesel engines for cruising
and gas turbines that can be switched on for high-speed transits. Moreover, CODAG
retains the high fuel efficiency of diesel engines when cruising, allowing greater range
and lower fuel costs than with gas turbines alone. Besides that, the typical cruising
speed of CODAG warships on diesel-power is 20 knots and typical maximal speed with
switched on turbine is 30 knots which is one of the highest among other engine
combinations.
