Abstract

If the lost energy produced by a propeller can be partially recovered, the propulsive efficiency can be increased, and the fuel consumption reduced. The devices installed for this purpose are called Energy Saving Devices, of which the Contra-Rotating Propeller system is one of the most effective devices. The first problem to be solved to install the Contra-Rotating Propeller system on a large ship is that the mean pressure generated in the journal bearing needs to meet the design criteria of the classifications. In Korea, however, the practical use is being delayed because it cannot overcome this step. The next step is to lower local pressure to increase the reliability. In this study, to solve the mean pressure problem as the first step of practical use, a product carrier with a short stern shape was selected to reduce the weight of the shafting system, and a suitable shafting-system design plan was proposed. Shaft analysis confirmed that the mean pressure of 0.8 MPa (8 bar), which is a design criterion of the classifications for a journal bearing lining material (white metal), was satisfied. In addition, the necessity of reducing the local pressure was also confirmed.

프로펠러에 의해 생성된 회전 유동에 의한 손실된 에너지를 일부라도 회복시킨다면 추진효율을 증가시킬 수 있고 선박의 운항에 필요한 연료 소모를 줄일 수 있다. 이러한 목적을 위해 설치되는 장비를 에너지저감 장치라고 하며, 이 중 추진효율을 가장 증대시키는 장치 중 하나가 상반회전 프로펠러 시스템이다. 대형 선박에 상반회전 프로펠러를 장착하기 위해서 우선 해결해야 할 과제는 저널 베어링에 발생하는 평균 압력이 선급 요구 조건을 만족하는 것인데, 국내에서는 현재 이 단계를 극복하지 못해 실용화가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 그 다음 단계는 국부 압력도 낮추어 신뢰성을 높이는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 첫 단계인 평균 압력 문제를 해결하기 위해 상반회전 프로펠러 장착 대상 선박으로 축계의 중량을 줄일 수 있는 선미 형상이 짧은 정유운반선을 선정하였고, 이에 적합한 축계 설계안을 제시하였다. 제시안에 대해 축계 해석을 수행한 결과, 선박에 주로 사용되는 저널 베어링 라이닝 재질(화이트메탈)에 대한 선급 요구 설계기준인 평균 면압 0.8 MPa(8 bar)을 만족함을 확인하였으며, 다음 단계인 국부 압력 감소의 필요성도 확인하였다.
