L35 What is dead man's handle ? What are it functions ?
Its called dead mans handle because: though during drills bosun lifts up and life boat gets
lowered , that is not the only way u can lower lifeboat. There is a wire rope extend thru
pulleys and levers in the lifeboat for the same purpose.
So considering this, even one person is sufficient to lower this life boat from lifeboat and
escape when all other people are dead. Since there is no person lifting the brake handle
physically or loaclly but remotely in the lifeboat, it is called dead mans handle.

1) The most important safety feature of the crane is the electromagnetic fail safe
brakes which do not allow the crane to fall with the load even when there is failure
of power. For this:Normally centrifugal brakes are used which are fitted inside the
rotating drum.The brake pads are always in applied state and pushed by
magnetic springs when not in operation or when there is a power failure.As the
crane is operated or the power is supplied, the spring gets pulled inward or
compressed due to the electromagnetic effect of the current. This allows the
crane to be operated normally.
2)Emergency stop is provided in the remote so that the operator can stop the
crane at any time.
3)The motor is fitted with distance limit switch in both transverse and longitudinal
direction so that the travel of the trolley and hence crane should not overshoot the
racks end.
4)Mechanical stoppers are provided for both directions in case the electrical
distance limit trips fail.
5)The up and down travel of the hook is also attaches with automatic stopper to
avoid overloading of the motor.
6)The motor is fitted with thermal protection trip. When the motor windings get
overheated, trip will activate saving the motor winding from burning.
7) Load limit switch is also fitted which will trip the motor if the load to be lifted is
above the crane capacity.

Before that setting is achieved nothing will come out. Plus

planimeter is not provided when the engine doesn't have a separate cam for taking
power cards. instead sometimes electronic engine performance monitors are
provided. but sometimes they are not..so then we find out power developed by
using turbocharger rpm and then correlating it various graphs of other paramneters
like scavenge temp and all.

There are still some differences in the lubrication arrangements. In MAN B&W,
luboil is conveyed by means of telescopic pipes common for piston cooling and
bearing lubrication, while in Sulzer, it is conveyed through an arrangement of hollow
pins and articulated pipes, separate for each function.
Another difference in lub oil system is MAN B&W has a common pump and
pressure line for both main bearing and crosshead bearing lubrication. The luboil is
admitted to the upper half of the crosshead bearings from where oil grooves lead
the oil to the lower loaded half. Sulzer has some kind of pressure boosting
arrangement using a second set of pumps to supply oil direct to the crosshead
bearing loaded lower half. inorder to reduce bending moment of tie rods in rta jack

Piston slap is nothing new to piston driven internal combustion engines and
compressors. It is the secondary (sideways or perpendicular) movement of a piston
against the side of a cylinder bore where the primary movement of a piston is
intended to be parallel (up and down) to the cylinder bore. All piston driven internal
combustion engines and compressors have a certain amount of piston slap.
Excessive piston slap occurs when the clearance between the piston and the
cylinder bore is too great. The piston to cylinder bore clearance becomes too great
either through wear, mismatched pistons and cylinder bores at manufacturing or, a
combination of both. The audible noise associated with excessive piston slap is due
to the perpendicular impact of the piston against the wall of the cylinder bore.
Audible piston slap is typically loudest when the engine is first started up. The
pistons then expand with heat reducing the piston to cylinder bore clearance thus,
reducing the perpendicular impact of the piston against the cylinder wall and its
resulting noise.

FN4MERELATEDSYSTEMS
there's a separate connection from fuel supply line (8 to 9 bars) to individual units
fuel injectors.
Per unit we have two copper line which is tapped and valves provided (one inlet and
one outlet)
So fuel from 9 bar line is taken and main line and given to fuel injector 1 then outlet
is conected to fuel injector 2 then outlet of 2 is connected to inlet of 3 and outlet of 3
connected to main fuel oil return line .
This was there as per my latest ship . Connections differ as per licensee.
Detuner reduces the critical rpm.
If critical rpm is near or above 75% mcr then it would be near operating point of the
engine.
So installation of de-tuner will shift the critical rpm in manoeuvring range of the
engine like between half ahead and full ahead or between full ahead and 40 % mcr
speed. Inside crankcase, in chaincase there are extra wheels which rotate in
opposite direction and twice the speed , powered by chain in manbw

4ME181 MAN B&W 7K80MCC-MK6 ENGINE - MK6 IS THE MARK NUMBER. BUT WHAT IT INDICATES
When start signal is given...electrical signal opens the start solenoid admitting the
starting air to turn d engine. It cutsoff whn a predefined rpm reaches. Now, in case
of Sulzer engines, air along with very small amt of fuel is used during starting.
Whereas in MAN BW only air is used, and once tht rpm is reached, there is an
overlap period of start n run signal as both the uswitches "start n run" r pressed
together for 1sec to 1.5sec ensuring air n fuel admitted together for a positive start.

4AE27 Engine is running but not taking load. What may be the reason?
FN4BAEANDRELATEDSYSTEMS
main reason is v/v timing diagram. Engine can be reversed easily if v/v timing is
symmetric across bdc n tdc...
For eg: 2 stroke engine with loop n cross flow scavenging can be easily reverse b
coz ports timing is symmentric... But in case of 4 stroke engine valve timing is
different wrt bdc n tdc. So reversing becomes complicated.
Generator ? Load limit switch on governor has been set to zero. Set it at 10 for

4BL60 What will happen if steam traps are not used in steam system?
nothing happens if you dont use steam traps. u will increase losses as first
latent heat of steam to water is not used . second since steam will return to your
hotwell instead of hot water, that would seriously steam the hotwell. as the dump
condensor is not designed to condense that amount of steam, hot well will be
very hot and boiling.
4BL61 What is the voltage supplied to pilot burner in boiler and how ?
pilot igniter voltage is in the order of 11,100 volts exactly. Don say 11000 volts.
From 440V, a step up transformer is used and thus such high voltages are
achieved at the electrode terminals to create a spark.
FN4B+6BOILERS
Page2of5
4BL63 How would you find out if oil has entered inside the boiler steam drum?
Oil in steam drum means that your hot well and cascade tank is also full of oil.
This is a definite disaster. Hope you all must have seen that the boiler feed
pump takes suction from bottom of cascade tank. If oil has managed to find its
way into steam drum, then it is not traces, it is a major contamination and thus
steam pressure would have dropped well before such happening. Boiler fuel
consumption increases and steam pressure becomes erratic. In such situation,
tubes will start to over heat and melting may start as temperature increases.
Steam pressure may still be less. Oil detection probe/alarm installed in
condensate observation tank . Sight glass at obs tank.
Plus water doesn't overflow from top most level from observation tank to hotwell
but at slightly lower level to compensate for some oil (if any) will remain in
observation tank and not flow into hotwell. P alkalinity wil increase
FN4B+6BOILERS
As steam performs work on the system giving out enthalpy and driving the
turbine, the pressure of the steam or enthalpy decreases, temperature falls etc.
In order to obtain same work done per unit area, as pressure drops thru the
stages of turbine the area of turbine blades has to increase, hence lp is bigger
than hp. When pressure falls to such a level that air ingress starts at the end of
turbine , we give 0.2 bar steam for not allowing air to go out nor steam to come
out from the turbine into engine room.
Page3of5
4BL67 Hide-out
It can be seen in high pressure boilers that as the steaming rate increases the
levels of certain salts, particularly phosphate salts, does not raise in line with
others. When the load is reduced the concentrations return to normal.
This is termed hide-out and is due to the reduced solubility of sodium phsophate
at temperatures above 250'C
When phosphate hide-out occurs there is a risk of permenant scal deposition
and/or evolution of free caustic which in turn could lead to severe corrosion due
to caustic attack
Treatment using volatile solids free chemicals such as hydrazine, Eliminox and
neutralising amines should be considered. This is termed All Volatile Treatment
(AVT)
4BL68 Why are the two safety valves in a boiler set at different pressures ?
practically it is not possible to set at same exact pressures. We tried to. But
there was some error..That is why class gives an allowance of 3% between the
safety valves. If you can set well and good. If not this 3% is for human error
allowance. Not only in marine industry - we follow DOT and Boiler Norms which
used ashore. Also remember if you set at same pressure, then you would waste
too much water.
steam traps allows latent heat of steam also to be extracted from return steam.
as steam trap doesnt allow steam to pass through, the steam condenses into
water in the pipeline itself, the condensed water is able to lift the valve in steam
trap. secondly the hotwell will not steam up as return will be hot water rather
than steam
4BL70 REASON FOR BOILER FEED WATER CASCADE TANK OVERFLOW WHILE MANOEUVRING?
4BL71 Why a high lift safety valve is called high lift safety valve?
The ordinary safty vlv usd to lift d/36. Latr high lift vlv came it had waste piston
arrangement it liftd d/24. Nd now we hv improvd high lift it lifts d/12 with floating
ring and waste steam piston. Hence v use 2 so that atleast v get a total lift of d/6 .

Refrigeration recovery units contain a vacuum pump, which can work to very
low vacuums (less than 1 torr), and a condensing unit, which allows the gas
to be removed, condensed to a liquid and stored. The unit has either its own
(internal) recovery refrigerant container (usually 13 kg) or is connected to an
external cylinder (13, 26 or 55 kg). These cylinders are supplied in various
colours, the colour may indicate which refrigerant it contains, but it should, in
every case, have a yellow band or section around the cylinder neck to
indicate that it contains recovered refrigerant.

position of air to open from the top, if its interchanged wit the discharge valve
which is designed to open while air acts from the bottom, it would not open and

bunker line pressure test with air - 6 monthly done by ship staff.
hydrostatic pressure test done by shore staff with certificate
provided, uscg requirement only, need not be done if ship doesn't
call US ports. that is done by water and then air pressure. it is not
done on entire bunker line but only the part which cannot be seen
between weather deck and the part where it emerges into the
engine room. certification is necessary part for this testing.

steering gear motor does not have a overload trip whereas other motors
have. it will not trip on single earth fault...n take 200% overload. steering
gear motor is connected to INS (insulated neutral system)...unlike other
motors which are connected to ENS (earthed neutral system). purpose is
same as told by nishant sharma...i.e. it will not trip on single earth fault. i.e.
minimum two earth fault will be required for trip to happen.

Dial Gauge Method: In this method the fuel injector is taken out and from the opening a dial gauge is put inside.
Then the turning gear is engaged and the engine turned over. The pointer of the dial gauge will
move in one direction and then stop and start in opposite direction. The moment the pointer of
the dial gauge stops and changes its direction of movement is the TDC of the unit. This method
is not normally used in day-to-day practice, but may be used in the calibration of the flywheel if
it is not calibrated, or after some repairs
Camshaft Method: The camshaft window of the engine can be opened up and the camshaft inspected. The cam of
the engine has a base circle, and acceleration and dwell periods. If the roller of the follower is
at the base circle, then the particular valve is closed by spring action. When both the exhaust
valve and the inlet valve follower are on the base circle, then the unit is also at TDC. It must be
remembered that as a four-stroke engine has two rotations of the crankshaft there is one
injection TDC where the injection and the combustion take place. The second time the piston is
at TDC is when the exhausting of the flue gases takes place. It is very important to identify the
combustion TDC, as tappets have to be adjusted at that point.
Crankcase Method: In this method the crankcase doors are opened up and the piston is visually checked whether
is going up or down. This is the surest method, but a bit cumbersome. It should be used when
you have a strong doubt about the other methods.
Valve Spring Method: This is not an independent method but is used in conjunction with the flywheel method. In this
method if the flywheel is indicating two units, you can check the springs of both the units. The
unit in which the springs are loose is the one at TDC. The caution is that this method is useful
for an engine in use. If you have removed the rocker arms during the overhaul and thereafter
you want to use this method then it can cause
Push rod method:in this method the push rod will rotates or free to move at the time of compression or power
stokes,u will get this from flywheel marking,
Fuel pump timing method:in this method open the window of inspection door fitted in pumps,when the punching mark is
coincide with the mark of pump,ie injection timing,the valves r closed in this time, during this
time we will check the tappet clearance

All certified engines are delivered with an individual Technical File that contains the engines
specifications for compliance with the NOx regulation, and the applicable onboard verification
procedure. The certification process includes an emission test for compliance with the NOx
requirements on the manufacturers test bed
There are three on board verification procedures which can be used The method used is
initially decided by the engine manufacturer, and is usually a specific chapter in the engines
Technical File.
Engine parameter check method
Simplified measurement method
Direct measurement and monitoring method
The engine parameter check ensures that the present state of the engine corresponds to the
specified components, calibration or parameter adjustment state at the time of initial
certification. The engines Technical File identifies the components, settings and operating
values that influences the exhaust emissions and these must be checked to ensure compliance
during surveys and inspections. The components and settings will be those which affect the
NOx produced by the engine, such as:
Injection timing
Injection system components (nozzle, injector, fuel pump)
Injection pressure
Camshaft components (fuel cam, inlet- and exhaust cam)
Valve timing
Combustion chamber (piston, cylinder head, cylinder liner)
Compression ratio (connecting rod, piston rod, shim, gaskets)
Turbocharger type and build (internal components)
Charge air cooler/charge air pre-heater
Auxiliary blower
NOx reducing equipment
The Simplified measurement method is where the NOx content of the exhaust gas is measured
during a 20 minute full load run of the engine. Due to the possible deviations when applying the
simplified measurement method, an allowance of 10% of the applicable limit value is accepted
for confirmation tests and during periodical and intermediate surveys.
For the direct measurement and monitoring method, the engine will be fitted with a direct
measurement system which monitors the NOx emissions, either as spot checks logged
regularly or continuous monitoring. Records must be kept for at least 3 months and must have
been taken in the past 30 days.

EL161 Why is a Megger used for insulation test and not a multi meter?
With a megger,a voltage of not less than 500 volts DC is used for

the voltage used is not more than 3-volts DC. Megger uses high
impedance testing and is therefore more accurate than a multimeter

The current flows through the electrode and to the clamp. That's
how it flows in MIG, stick, flux cored. On Tig, the electricity flows
through the electrode also except that now that's the only function
of it, the rod is held in your hand and electrode in the other.
The available power is fixed and the voltage is fixed, so the setting
of the breaker or fuse is the normal current of the load. If the load
exceeds the rated current, then the breaker or fuse will operate
and limit the load.
The angle between the I and V waveforms is zero which means the
load is purely resistive.
Synchronous motors find applications in all industrial applications
where constant speed is necessary. Improving the power factor as
Synchronous condensers. Electrical power plants almost always
use synchronous generators because it is important to keep the
frequency constant at which the generator is connected. Low
power applications include positioning machines, where high
precision is required, and robot actuators.

EL191 For a given line voltage, four heating coils will produce maximum heat when connected in-
Parallel
EL192 If a motor is wound star and you want to change to delta what should you do?
Motor will run at low speed, sparking at brushes, heat due to eddy
current will finally burn the motor.
Motor load currents are large. Motors are 3-phase loads. A higher
440V voltage means lesser current for the same power and hence
losses and size of cable wires is lower. Lighting is single phase
loads and its load currents are small, hence lower voltage means
less insulation in the cable wires. Ask E/O for more information
EL196 Why is 440 V used for motors and 110/220 V used for lighting?
EL197 How to test emergency generator widout switching off main supply
Many methods

It self monitors the health of the alarm circuit. That is, it senses
whether the power supply to the alarm circuit is healthy and all the
relays and contacts are functioning normally. Check with E/O for
more details.
It is higher as the ignition requires break down of air gap for park to
occur. The air breaks down at this high voltage of 10kV. Therefore,
it is higher than normal welding voltage.
It is activated by a under voltage relay. When there is blackout, the
under voltage relay senses loss of voltage and starts up the
emergency generator. Similarly when the power is restored, the
relay stops the emergency generator. Ask E/) for more details.
EL205 What is the purpose of the earth fault indication on the switch board?
Insulation pads made from nylon are fitted under each pedestal
bearing and the bearing holding down bolts are similarly insulated.
MAGNETIC INTERPOLES producing opposite ampere turns fitted
which minimizes effect of stray magnetic fields causing reduced
emf in the shaft.
EL208 Sometimes, when you change the running direction of a E/R blower (from supply to exhaust) it trips.
If the flaps of the blower are not set or opened properly or the
filters are clogged, the air supply is affected and the blower may be
overloaded causing it to trip. Ask E/O for more information.
Why?
EL209 If all your air bottles are at low pressure and there is a blackout how do you start the generators?
If main air bottles are empty, the emergency air bottle can be used
to start the main generator. If even the emergency air bottle is
empty, then it can be filled by running emergency air compressor
(powered by emergency generator). Once the emergency air bottle
is filled, this air can be used to start the main generator.
