The report considers various types of auxiliary systems and components and recommends specific units which are used in conjunction with the major components recommended in Parts I, II, III, and IV to establish a reference plant cycle. This cycle is considered the least-complex, workable cycle that can power the ship although it does not represent the optimum in plant efficiency. Changes to the reference cycle which would improve fuel economy are then considered and the changes recommended or rejected depending upon the effect on reliability of the plant and comparison of the higher initial cost versus the lower annual fuel costs. It is recommended that a regenerative plant cycle with a condensing ship's service turbo-generator and two main turbine extraction points be selected for the Integrated Steam Power Plant. The bleed steam would be used to supply a low-pressure distilling plant and for feedwater heating in the deaerating feed tank and in a low-pressure heater and drain cooler. Recommendations for auxiliary systems and components are also made. (Author)
