All machineries on ship must operate within certain desired parameters. Instrumentation enables the parameters - pressure, flow, level etc- to be measured or displayed against a scale. A means of control is also required in order to change or alter the displayed reading to meet particular requirement. control must be manual, the opening or closing of the valves or automatic where change in the parameter results in action which return the valve to that desired without human involvement
Salient features
- Lab is equipped with modern SCADA (PID) system which controls the parameters like flow, pressure and level manually as well as automatically.
- Hydraulic and pneumatic training kits guide cadets to understand and work on equipments on board ship such as cranes, stearing gears, governors of engines etc.
- Programmable logic controller (PLC) gives knowledge about automatic control of parameters such as level in fuel or water tank, stepper motor control to control radar system by programming on computers
- Various charts of hydraulic valves are provided to understand construction and working of them .
