APU

APU overview

The APU is developed for Republic of Korea Navy. It is small-size gas turbine generator of 400Hz, 60kw capacity. APU produces bleed air to start Craft's propulsion/support gas turbine as well as produce electric power as generator. Normally, must install electric motor (small size gas turbine), oil pressure motor (medium size gas turbine), or small-size gas turbine (large size gas turbine) for start propulsion gas turbine.
But the APU generator together produces a electric power and starting air with is a possibility ease of doing to make warships light weight.

System Configuration

APU is composed with Engine, Reduction Gear, Generator, Generator Control Unit, Engine Control Unit, Auxiliaries, Fuel System, Lube Oil System, Air Intake System, Air Exhaust System, Starting System, Local control panel, Remote control panel. And Vessel electrical connections to switchboards are accomplished by means of a power box located on the side of the APU enclosure. The power box is also used to connect the DC output power from the APU and connect the DC start batteries from the vessel.
An APU control panel used control and monitoring of the APU. Control panel may be mounted at a desired location on the vessel away from the APU
