Опыт создания лаборатории судовых вспомогательных механизмов для обучения судовых механиков в ФГБОУ ВО «АГТУ»

Abstract

The article focuses on the functional capabilities, technical characteristics and bench composition of the laboratory of ship auxiliary mechanisms, which was created at the Department of Operation of Water Transport at the Astrakhan State Technical University (ASTU) for training marine engineers. The laboratory provides the students with professional competencies in such aspects of the mechanical engineer’s operation as ship turbo machines, ship auxiliary mechanisms and systems, automatic control systems, operation of ship boiler rooms and steam generating plants, etc. There have been presented the pictures of laboratory test benches for testing the P01 ship steering machine and ЯШ-2Р anchor mooring pin, РCC-6.3/10 ship fan, TKР-700 turbo compressor, gear fuel pump Ш5-25-3Б, prototypes of TГ-16M gas turbine generator and ГTД-16M gas turbine engine. Using the laboratory test benches for auxiliary mechanisms and systems helps to both consolidate the theory and gain the new practical knowledge on the design, operation principles and testing skills of the ship steering machine, deck equipment, ventilation systems gear pumps, turbochargers, etc. It has been stated that all the laboratory facilities, except for the GD-IN model (facilities for studying the pump operation and constructing pressure-flow characteristics), were developed and assembled by the students and teachers on the basis of the real ship equipment. The laboratory tests are based on regulatory and technical documents: the rules of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, machine operating instructions, relevant GOSTs, guidance and regulatory documents. Building the laboratory of auxiliary mechanisms and systems and optimizing the time for practical and laboratory training of ship mechanical engineers at ASTU were carried out in accordance with the requirements of the new educational standard GEF 3++ of higher education and the International Convention on Training and Certification of Sailors and Watchkeeping (The Manila amendments to the STCW Convention and Code).
