Analysis of ship accidents caused by unreliable operation of cooling systems of ship power plants

The article considers transport accidents on watercrafts in inland waterways, sea and ocean waters caused by unreliable operation of the main systems during ice shallow water conditions difficult for naviga-tion violations technical rules crew members. There are given statistical data causes water. Frequent breakdowns due to open (two-circuit) cooling system ship’s power plants stated. Open systems, which fresh circulating through cooled equipment is seawater, do not provide required reliable broken ice, causing shutdown ship plant or an emergency situation. Mechanical impurities entering cause corrosion-erosive destruction pipelines, elements operational load seawater filters. In winter, sections routes leads clogging chests with small particles (studge ice) a poor intake units. fail using makes plant. It has been inferred that closed it possible solve problem functioning ice.
