Main engine and auxiliary engine are the two prime components in a ship’s engine room, on which
the entire operation of the vessel is dependent. There are several other important machineries that
are necessary to support these two main components; however, one equipment without which any of the above mentioned machines cannot do away with is an air bottle or air receiver.
