Answer: leakageof start air valve is usually by sluggish /seizes valve action. Preventing fastclosure of the valve or the by dirt or foreign particles from lodging on thevalve seat and so preventing the valve from fully closed 48 why it is need to keep themain engine to be warm enough to a temperature of 50 to 60 degree Celsius? Answer: To avoid condensation in thecrankcase and to be able to get high temperature for the air compressed in thecylinder at the time of maneuvering. 49 If the automatic starting airvalve should fail during maneuvering time. What provision is made so thatmaneuvering can be continued? Answer: Usually designers provideemergency operating handles or hand wheels to open and close the valve manually.All joined engineer should observe it. 50 Do you think it is necessaryto run the cooling water pump and lube oil pump when you are going to checkpiston .piston rings and cylinder liners through inspection peep holes? Answer: Yes it is a good practice torun cooling water pump and lube oil pump when to check piston, piston rings andcylinder through the inspection peep holes because it can be observed clearlyif there is any leakage of water or oil from cylinder liner or piston. 51 If you have experience withMAN-B&W MC engines, what will happen to the fuel injection pump whenreversing roller guide for particular injection pump does not move to the requiredposition? Answer: The safety device willactivated and fuel pump rack will be remained in zero position and no fuel oilwill be injected from that pump 52What are the causes of scavenge fir of a two stroke type main engine? Answer:Accumulation of sludge and fuel oil in scavenge air space and considerable blowout from scavenge air ports of cylinder liner or liners 53What will you prevent occurring of scavenge fire? Answer: a.Ensure scavenges air space drain valve is slightly opened during operation ofengine and check the drain is not blocked b. Open thedrain valve and blow off momentarily once in every watch to prevent clogging ofscavenge drain line c. Cleaned the scavengeair space and drain pipe and valve at regular intervals d. Maintainfuel injection valves, piston rings and cylinder liners at regular intervalsand inspection pistons, piston rings and cylinder liners through inspectionholes regularly to d3cide the condition of respective parts e. cleanedturbocharger regularly 54How can you know that scavenge fire occurs in your engine? Answer: a.the rise of exhaust gas temperature from the cylinder affected by the fire b. the engine speed drops c. turbocharger may surge d. exhaust gas color from funnel will be black e. scavenge air temperature rise 55 What kind of action will you takeimmediately when you know that scavenge fire takes place? Answer: a. reduces engine speed to slow, inform bridgeand request for stopping of main engine b. if permitted stop engine and stop auxiliary blower c. check scavenge air temperature with localthermometer and if temperature exceed 80 degree Celsius use scavenge fireextinguish system. If less than 80 degree Celsius can open the window withgreat precaution and extinguish fire with fire extinguisher for oil fire. 56 What effects does afterburning have on anengine? A .Creates high exhaust gas temperature anddrop in maximum combustion pressure and damage to exhaust valves and risk of scavengefires 57 What kind of spare parts will you checkfor main engine after you have taken over the duty from signing off firstengineer? Answer: Spare piston, piston rod, cylinder head,cylinder liner, cross head bearing, cylinder head tightening studs, highpressure pipes for fuel injectors, fuel injectors, thrust bearings, connectingrod big end bearings, exhaust valves, cylinder starting air valves, indicator cocks,cylinder head gaskets, piston rings and special tools for overhaul and measuretools main engine etc. 58 How will you organize engineers andratings for overhauling of main engine piston and piston rings and stuffing boxduring port stay of one day? Answer: a. Fourth engineer on top partsdismantling b. Third engineer in crankcase c. Overtime ratings helping fourth engineer andthird engineer d. Second engineer supervising fourth and thirdengineer 59 What will you do if one of cylinderstarting air valves of main engine was leaking during maneuvering time andbridge could not give you to stop main engine and change the valves with goodspare? Answer: Cut out fuel to defective cylinder andcarry out maneuvering with great care and infirm chief engineer about the eventand follow of there is special instruction 60 What is to be very careful when you aremaneuvering the vessel from emergency maneuvering stand? Answer: Main engine RPM should becareful watched not to run move than rated RPM because governor is cut-cut andcontrolled by fuel handle
