Resilient Mounting of Generating Sets

1) Generating sets are resiliently mounted on ships to isolate vibrations. They are placed on a rigid base frame mounted to the ship's foundation with conical resilient supports. 2) The conical supports can be mounted with loose steel shims adjusted to a minimum thickness of 75mm for each support. 3) All external connections to the generating set must have flexible pipes and couplings to prevent vibrations from transmitting.

Resilient Mounting of Generating Sets


On resiliently mounted generating sets, the diesel engine and the alternator are placed on a common rigid base frame mounted on the ship's/machine house's foundation by means of resilient supports, Conical type. All connections from the generating set to the external systems should be equipped with flexible connections and pipes. Gangway etc. must not be welded to the external part of the installation.

1)

The support between the bottom flange of the conical mounting and the foundation is made with a loose steel shim. This steel shim is adjusted to an exact measurement (min. 75 mm) for each conical mounting. The support can also be made by means of two steel shims, at the top a loose steel shim of at least 75 mm and below a steel shim of at least 10 mm which are adjusted for each conical mounting and then welded to the foundation.

2)

Resilient Support
A resilient mounting of the generating set is made with a number of conical mountings. The number and the distance between them depend on the size of the plant. These conical mountings are bolted to the top flange of the base frame (see fig 1). The setting from unloaded to loaded condition is normally between 5-11 mm for the conical mounting. The support of the individual conical mounting can be made in one of the following three ways:

Finally, the support can be made by means of chockfast. It is necessary to use two steel shims, the top steel shim should be loose and have a minimum thickness of 75 mm and the bottom steel shim should be cast in chockfast with a thickness of at least 10 mm.

Adjustment of Engine and Alternator on Base Frame


The resiliently mounted generating set is normally delivered from the factory with engine and alternator mounted on the common base frame. Eventhough the engine and alternator have been adjusted by the factory with the alternator rotor placed correctly in the stator and the crankshaft bend of the engine is within the prescribed tolerances.

Irrespective of the method of support, the 75 mm steel shim is necessary to facilitate a possible future replacement of the conical mountings, which are always replaced in pairs.
