Marine Skylight for Engine Room

The marine engine room skylight is an open structure installed on the top of a ship engine room, designed to provide natural lighting, ventilation and observation of the ship's internal space. These skylights are typically made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, to accommodate the high humidity and salt spray corrosion of the Marine environment. The design takes into account the strength and stability of the ship's structure to ensure that it can withstand vibration and dynamic loads during ship operation. The installation location and dimensions of a ship's engine room skylight are usually planned according to the ship's design requirements and safety standards to maximize the needs of crew operation and maintenance, and to ensure safety and comfort in the engine room.

Overview

Skylight window covers can be opened, covered with circular or rectangular transparent glass, in addition to light but also for natural ventilation, usually in the engine room, stove, kitchen or boat cabin roof.

A skylight is usually placed on the roof of a cabin where the four walls do not provide sufficient light and air. In a broad sense, it can be roughly divided into two categories: one is only for lighting deck Windows, often used in crew cabins, studios, storage rooms and other places; The other type is both daylighting and natural ventilation, usually set in the kitchen, walkway and other places called deck skylight, installed on the roof of the engine furnace cabin skylight.

According to the density requirements of the installation place, a window shed with a certain height wall should be installed, and then a round or square window that can be opened and closed is provided on the top cover. The top surface of the skylight window shed is often made of double or single slope to facilitate water drainage and enhance the lighting effect. The openable skylight equipment consists of a hinged skylight cover and a transmission device. The skylight cover comprises several fixed window groups fixed on a window frame and a pressing device composed of wing nuts, screws, etc.; Transmission device break, chain drive, screw drive, hydraulic, electric or pneumatic and so on. The skylights in cabins and corridors of small and medium-sized ships can be opened and closed directly by manual or chain or screw drive, while the skylights in engine and furnace cabins of large ships are often opened and closed by hydraulic or electric power because of their high position.
