Modular Design of Marine Engine Lubricating and Cooling Systems

IN A PAPER to The Institute of Marine Engineers in March, E. B. Budd, C.Eng., M.R.I.N.A., A.M.I.Mech.E., A.F.R.Ae.S. and H. C. Wilkinson, M.A., Wh.Sc., C.Eng., A.M.I.Mech.E. (both of the British Ship Research Association) discussed the adoption of the modular technique in the design and construction of ships' machinery installation. Much of this concerned cooling and lubricating systems. It is possible that these techniques could well be employed for many lubricating systems on large plant and machinery, and therefore this discussion, referring to marine plant, is also of general interest.
