Engine room tour with Tristan Mortlock aboard the Bering B92 Explorer Yacht: technical insight into systems and mechanisms
Today we take you on a fascinating journey with renowned yacht captain Tristan Mortlock as he guides us through the engine room of the stunning Bering B92 Explorer with Alexei. Let's take a deeper look into the technical aspects such as engines, stabilization systems, inverters, manifolds, fuel tanks and much more.
The engine compartment: the heart of the Bering B92 Explorer
The heart of any yacht is the engine compartment, and it's no different on the Bering B92 Explorer. The engines of the B92 Explorer are impressive powerhouses. They are robust, powerful and reliable and provide the necessary power to maneuver the yacht safely even through rough seas.
Stabilization: Fins and Seakeeper
For safe and comfortable travel at sea, stabilization is an indispensable aspect. Two stabilization systems are installed on the Bering B92: 4 fin stabilizers and a Seakeeper. The fin stabilizers help to minimize the rolling of the yacht by actively working against the wave movements.
The Seakeeper, on the other hand, is a gyro stabilizer based on the principle of angular momentum conservation. It works efficiently to reduce the lateral movements of the yacht, which greatly increases comfort and safety on board.
Inverter
The Bering B92 Explorer is equipped with state-of-the-art inverters that ensure that the electrical devices on board are always supplied with the right voltage. They convert the direct current from the batteries into alternating current, which is needed to operate most of the equipment on board.
Manifold and fuel tanks
The engine compartment of the B92 also houses the Kommerziele Manifold system, which routes fuel from the yacht's various tanks to the engines. It allows precise control over the fuel flow and ensures optimum engine performance.
The B92 has multiple fuel tanks that allow it to sail long distances without having to constantly stop and refuel. They are designed not to affect the balance of the yacht and are equipped with sensors that monitor the fuel level to ensure timely refueling.
