16.1.6 Deck Deflection Limits
The package supporting deck structure must have sufficient stiffness to maintain
alignment of the turbine and driven equipment under dynamic vessel motion. Solar’s
engineering specification ES 2379, “Offshore Product Motion Requirements for Oil & Gas
Package Designs,” lists the maximum allowable deflections measured between the
furthest mounting points. With analysis, these limits may be extended through the use of
gimbals or AVMs.
16.1.7 Angular Displacement and Acceleration
ES 2379 lists the maximum allowable angular displacement and acceleration limits for
marine applications. The Basic Duty category is met by the standard package without any
additional modification. Moderate Duty and Severe Duty categories require modification.
16.1.8 Main and Auxiliary Service
The information provided in this section does not apply to equipment used in “Main and
Auxiliary Service”. If equipment is intended for this type of service, please contact Solar
Turbines Incorporated for guidance to ensure the correct application and certification
requirements are meet.
