Engines

MAIN ENGINE
When the Naval Architect looked at the requirements and diversity of countries asking for these vessels he knew he had to find an engine that could work almost anywhere in the world. That is why he selected Volvo for the infrastructure it has around the world with the ability to service the engines and provide routine maintenance when required. The engine is readily accessible for inspection and general maintenance a soft patch in the deck and removable top section of wheelhouse allows complete engine removal without structural dismantling. This is an Ambulance and it has to be able to operate when required on demand.

The engine selected from the range is the VOLVO D6-300, rated at 330 BHP. The 6 cylinder in line engine with its 103mm Bore and 110mm stroke cylinders working at speeds of up to 3500rpm also has 4 valves per cylinder, double overhead camshafts and is turbocharged and has an aftercooler. Fitted with the latest EVC system (Electronic Vessel Control) allows the benefits of running diesel engines with the ability to keep the emission low. The engine complies with IMO NOx limits and the comprehensive emission requirements EU RCD and US EPA tier 2.

The Naval architect also took into consideration how these vessels were to be used and realised that the best drive was the jet and not the propeller. There can be no doubt that one of the most reliable “Names” in the jet drives is Hamilton and so this 10m GRP AMBULANCE is fitted with and powered by the HAMILTON 292 JET DRIVE. If you are working in close quarter manoeuvring to pick up or deliver a patient then you need to have the abilities only jets can deliver. They can turn the boat in its own length and they can work without endangering divers or getting tangled up in obstacles that may be lurking in the waters.

The engine is fitted on strong bearers and mounted on vibration proof mountings. Drip trays are provided under each engine to provide 110% of all engine cooling and lubrication fluids. Good access is allowed around each engine unit to enable inspections, cleaning, routine maintenance and minor repairs be performed. The engine is started by keyed ignition switches mounted on the helmsman’s control panel. A single pole isolation switch is provided in the engine space to prevent accidental starting of the engine when work is being conducted on the unit.

A clutch operated engine driven bilge pump is fitted, drawing from a bilge main and discharging overboard. The pump is also able to draw water from a filtered sea water supply to provide water for a fire and deck wash main. The main engine is fitted with an alternator unit (engine maker supply) charging 6 12-volt batteries linked in series to provide a split 24-volt system, starter batteries/boat load batteries.

Electrical Distribution
Electrical power for lighting, engine starting, essential services and main distribution is supplied from battery sets housed in a suitable box in an appropriately ventilated and accessible void space. Essential/emergency services are distributed through a separate board for automatic operation of the electric bilge pumps. The main distribution supply is through breaker switches.

BUNKERAGE
Fuel Tanks
Two GRP fuel tanks hold a total of 800 litres, emergency shut off valves, fitted at the tank outlets, are operated from the helm position.

•Single Racor fuel filter is fitted to the main supply.
•Tanks are well baffled and fitted with sight gauges.
•The tanks are filled via water tight, flush deck connections.

Consumption / Range

Construction

The vessel has a deep V, planing hull with spray rails to provide a stable and comfortable ride across the range of design speeds. The hull will be fitted with heavy 80mm D-fendering. The vessel is capable of going to sea in weather conditions up to force 6, wave height 3 to 4 metres, and is constructed to Lloyds Register of Shipping and the MCA pilot boat requirements for service in category 3 waters. The vessel is sub-divided into 4 watertight compartments so as to provide a good level of residual buoyancy in event of a compartment being compromised.

Classification
All hulls are inspected in build by the Seafish Industry Authority.

Documentation supplied:
Seafish construction certificate
Suppliers manuals for all installed equipment.

Forward Ramp
An aluminium double section hydraulically operated ramp is located forward above the deep-V section of the hull for easy access of patients and personnel. The vessel has a heavy duty stainless steel keelband to allow for grounding on the river banks.

Main Accommodation Block
The main accommodation block forms the main casualty area with space for two stretcher casualties and personnel with space for a further two stretcher casualties if required and contains the standard equipment found on a UK paramedic road ambulance. Access to the main accommodation block is through double weather tight doors forward. There is an emergency escape hatch in the roof.

A small heads compartment is fitted containing manual toilet. A small wash hand basin is provided with both hot (calorifier) and cold water supply. The accommodation has a cored construction providing heat and sound insulation. Air conditioning system.
Wheelhouse

The wheelhouse is aft of the midships accommodation block and raised giving the helmsman a clear view of the boarding area forward. Access from deck is through an aft facing door. The wheelhouse has a cored construction providing heat and sound insulation. Air conditioning system in wheelhouse. The forward facing windows are fitted with a wiper to the central window. Tinted glass to the sides and rear with forward glazing clear.

The steering position is central with a fully adjustable seat on a base. The moulded console top is of a dark matt finish in front of the helmsman position, containing engine and steering controls, instrumentation, compass, etc. Space for all communication and navigational equipment. Wipe clean, simple moulded fittings are used to avoid separate trims and panels. Fitted deck covering is of hard wearing, non slip easy clean material.

Engine Space
The engine room is sound and heat insulated (with approved materials) from the rest of the vessel. Ventilation is via vents in the deck house sides which are ducted internally to maximise watertight integrity at extreme heel angles. Vent area is adequate for the needs of machinery and personnel.

Lighting
Search light and deck lighting is provided by suitably distributed 24 volt lights with separate switches. The switches are located in the wheelhouse in a light switch console together with all other lighting circuits that need to be controlled from the wheelhouse to avoid interference with visibility when navigating during the hours of darkness. The wheelhouse is lit by suitable lights with additional red lights for night-time use. Engine space and other compartment lighting is switched near the compartment entrance.

Navigation lights are supplied from the 24-volt system and switched from the wheelhouse light control console suitable for this length of vessel. The external fittings are connected through watertight plugs and sockets and are as follows:

•1 x Masthead Light
•1 x each Port & Starboard Light
•1 x Stern Light
•1 x Anchor Light
•2 x Deck Floodlights
•1 x Manual Searchlight

Trials
The Builders trials are carried out on completion of the vessel, the engine manufacturer's engineer will be in attendance. The sea trials will include:
•Speed trials over a measured mile to establish top speed.
•Manoeuvring trials for main steering and standby systems.
•Approved inclining experiment
•Systems trials for all installed machinery and equipment
•Endurance trial to run the vessel over a number of conditions for a time to exceed 4 hours.

All trials are to be carried out with validation by the engine manufacturer's engineer, the trial condition shall be with 100% tanks at commencement and full crew complement or ballast as approved by the engineer.
