Engine power developed =(P*L*A*n*k) of one cy) X no of cylinders.
multiply and divide by (2R) where R is the radius of piston =
P*(L/2R)*A*n*k*2R = P*(Stroke/Bore)*A*n*2R Hence total power
increases as stroke/bore ratio increases.
And obviously power reduces
when no of cylinders reduces. Also, bearing friction reduces as
stroke/bore ratio increases.

It basically serves the purpose of An Unloader while stopping the compressor to

drain any trapped air between the cylinders.It is done so that the trapped
compressed air above the piston does not add up to the starting load; the next time
the compressor cuts in.
Mixture is collected in soot collecting tank. D tank has heating coils(steam). Once
tank full put alkanity control chemical n open steam. Once water evaporates collect
d soot. Apart from dat during washing a jute bag is attached to the pipe opening
of soot through which some amount of soot separation takes place. Apart from all
dis v have a connection to bilge tank. But we seldom use it as it creates trouble for
ows. Also in case of tank rupturing d content of tank could be transferred to bilge
tank.

if ur piston ring worn out or butt clearance is incresed so at tht time our crankcase
is pressurised so we want to avoid tht pressure with the help of breather pipe.. flap
is open only when crancase pressure is more thn atmospheric pressure

by calculating scoc and comparing it with shop trial reports

Before the Super VIT was introduced variable injection timing was obtained by
means of a special profile on the fuel pump plunger. Hence there was a fixed
relationship between the injection timing and the fuel index. Thus it was not
possible to adjust the fuel index of the individual pumps without also altering the
injection timing. For this reason the Super VIT was introduced, where it is possible
to adjust the fuel index and the injection timing independently.
Both do the same function of maintaining pmax after the break point. Only
difference between the two is that VIT has a fixed break point which is usually 85%
load and super-VIT had variable break point... Means break point can be changed
from 85%............................................................... but why the break point is to be
adjusted? Well before that let me explain break point, it is the reduction of vit index
at a specified load lets say at 85%mcr after that vit index reduces. As is in fuel rack
there is an index on how much fuel is being pumped (you can see that in fuel
rack) , just like that; vit index is the adjustment in fuel timing (advancing or
retarding). So in VIT this break point is fixed may be at 85%; but in SVIT it can be
adjusted these are adjusted electronically; the adjustment of break point depends
on scavenge air pressure.Nowadays all man b&w have svit i guess

Andvantages of semi balanced rudder ??

Why flywheel provided in air compressor

turning torque is less bcz the force acting on aft part of rudder is counteract by
forward part of rudder
2) steering gear can be lighter and smaller
A flywheel is provided to store rotational inertia and provide mechanical advantage
for manual rotation of the assembly.
-Providing continuous energy when the
energy source is discontinuous. flywheels are used in reciprocating engines and
compressors because the energy source, torque from the engine, is intermittent.
The amount of energy stored in a flywheel is proportional to the square of its
rotational speed

in cascade tank oil is found and was is ur immediate action ???(boiler is firing now)..

Mainly :1) Gradual change over of fuel from Heavy oil to diesel oil and vice versa,
As name said it allows mixing of two grades of fuels 2) Any vapour or air lock in sys
is vented through top of column chamber 3) It prevents return of fuel oil which
is already at injection temp to again mix with comp low temp fuel in sevice
tk...thereby saving thermal efficiency of fuel ciculating sys. 4) An already counted
fuel through flowmeter is required to preserved from return line by bringing to
mixing column back rather than serive tk. 5) Maintains postive press at fuel
circulating sys

If u see oil in cascade tank...stop main engine, change generator to diesel oil, then
stop boiler, change over all d heaters to stby heater. N then check one by one which

3 level switches are present in system, relief valve, manual bypass valve, low
pressure valve, electrcial stopper, manual stopper, motor overload alarm.
level switch 1 will give an alarm in case of loss of oil
due to bursting of pipe, level switch 2 will activate in further loss and resulting in
activation of solenoid valves which will operate both bypass valve and isolating
valve simultaneously as a result splitting of system such dat each power system will
operate 2 rams only, further loss of oil will results in activation of 3rd level switch in
such situation faulty system willb isolated and one system will operate 2 rams as
emergency steering gear...RELIEF VALve IS PRESENT in system to release over
pressure in case of rudder shocks during rough weather location unknown.
MANUAL bypass valve is provided incase of isolating one sysetem and rudder to

speed droop settings need to be altered. as the load increases, the rpm tends to
decrease before stabilizing itself again. that means your generator speed is falling
below a certain rpm when load is increased more than 50kW. So what should be
done is, run the generator at no load and check its RPM. make sure that it is within
the limits prescribed in the manual. If not, adjust it accordingly. Problem should be
solved.
Agar gen is
not taking load, check the governor setting, possible it's load setting has been set at
a lower level, then check droop, if these are correct, check power management
system.... Bcoz if problem is with t/c dat can be seen by many other ways, t/c will

Why do we use storm valve in sewage system instead of non return valve?what is the advantage of using storm valve?If we use non return And also for the fact that normally these valves remain in close condition only open
valve what will happen?
due to the weight of discharge so unlike a regular say globe NRV need not be
always kept in an open position

if u see the sewage system there is on u bend in the discharge line...can u tel me why it's is there? Wat is the reason

lay up means we have to keep generator for 1 or 2 months in idle,,,, first and
important thing is condition of space heater,,, it will take care of the insulation of
windings,,, he is happy with this answer,,, then we have to tell abt the prime mover
side like condition of lube oil, preheater, fuel line checks, any rust or corrosion to
the prime mover after lay off etc.

in steam hammering..the steam goes to the cold pipe which is having condensate
inside and not been drained..so when it goes in it cools down and form water
rapidly which lowers the pressure in at that spot and the condensate which was not
drained fully get sucked on to that place and bang the walls of the pipe..thats steam
hammering but water hammering is when a valve(other then steam)is opened and
pressure is high like water from a pump and that water hits the bends of the pipe
creating noise and damage to the pipe..

In air comp the c'shaft is driving the piston in all strokes,but in case of AE c'shaft is
driving the piston in all strokes except power stroke,where the piston now drives the
crankshaft.So the sudden change in direction of force can cause an IMPACT
LOADING on the pin if it is floating due to clearance in AE piston

in mitsubishi selfjector purifier....upper bearing is supported by spring.....lower part

has 2 bearing....The higher one is roller type....and below that a thrust
bearing.....The lower two are immersed in oil in the gear case....The direction of the
thrust bearing is important. ....If placed up side down then it will go off in 10 min.
thus in the vertical shaft total 3 bearings.
Horizontal shaft is
supported by two ball bearing or roller bearing at the two ends.
Vertical shaft contains three bearings.Two bearings at the extreme ends are roller
or ball bearings.The upper bearing containing the shaft is made radially stable by
the spring loaded assembly,which is responsible for the vertical inclination of
vertical shaft.The next lower bearing is an angular bearing to support the shaft
axially and counteract the thrust force.
when the movement of roller is upwards for actuation, then its positive cam. and
when roller moves downwards then its a negative cam. for example fuel cam is
positive cam and start air distributor is negative cam.

To positively shut ofc pilot air to starting vv...& also a negative cam wont be in
contact of rollers the tym of whole engine operation (when start air is cut off)...thus
reducing its wear
In negative cam at the working face of cam the
follower or valve will act in downward direction as in case of starting air distributer
whrere pilot valve actuate in downward direction and it shuts because of spring
pressure in case spring fails negative cam will positively shut it. snd in normal
operation its no more in contact with valve rod so reduces cam's wear and tear

if we charge the refrigerant by weighing bottle, we know that certain amount has
left the bottle. But we are not sure wheather the same amount has reached the
system.(maybe leaks in charging connection) Secondly, if we charge the refrigerant
by only seeing level in reciever, then we know certain amount has entered the
reciever, but we dont know if the same or more amount has left from the bottle(due
to leaks in the ref system). Hence we pump down all the refrigerent and note down
the initial and final bottle weight. Now, by tallying the rise of level in reciever and
ensuring that bottle weight difference is also the same, we know for sure that the
right amount has been charged

A winch is a machine usually powered by a hydraulic/electric power unit that is

used to handle mooring ropes which are used too moor a ship while it is in port or
to a buoy as in SBM/SPM operations. A windlass is a machine hydraulically
actuated(steam powered in the olden days) used for letting go/hauling up of anchor.
The power rating of the prime mover of the windlass is much higher when
compared to the prime mover of the mooring winches. A ship will usually have 2
windlasses(for starboard and port anchor) and 5-7 (depending on the size of the
vessel )mooring winches

specific gravity will tend to go far away from the center of rotation ,so the interface
will shift outwards and the oil will start overflowing from water outlet ..so we will use

v/v bcoz we want to release the excess stm press. And to attain blowdown effect
which is not possible in relief v/v........... Lip clearance is not measured by filler
gauge..it is measured by lead ball at least 4 in no. And tighting the bolts at required
torque..then measuring the compresion by vernier caliper of micrometer..

larger generators in yanmar are started by air start valves and air distributor ie.
same as how the main engine is started .. My previous ship had air distributor .. but
most of them are air motor started. compression pressure of a
running generator can be increased by either removing the turbocharger felt filter
( or changing if choked ) to increase the air intake OR by throttling the air cooler
cooling water so that the temp of the turbocharged air is decreased even further to
increase the density and thereby increasing the air intake ...

there are 3 types of air distributors ... radial , in line and rotary . the
generaotors and most of the newer main engines in MAN B&W have rotary type,
where two plates , one rotating with the camshaft and one stationary , have holes ,
and these match to send air to a particular unit .. the diagram of this type is very
complex and not easy to understand......
the older ones have either in line or
radial , its explaination is quite simple

1. Hunting gear floating lever mechanism is required to bring the rudder to the
ordered position.
2. Also this mechanism is required to
position the rudder in its ordered position when the action of water waves or
propeller force displaces the rudder from its ordered position.

Propeller push up means push our boss frm zero point to given distance by the

system
Initially while fitting propeller a marking is made,then as
said by virendra wth help of hyd pump pilgrim nut 70 bar pressure is given to push
the propeller..and the distance to be observd..this difernce in initial mrking and new
distance is push up.............
before putting hub we do reference marking and
then we put 70 bar pressure on hub and try to push the hub till tht point after
reaching tht point again mark 40 mm frm hub to shaft after making calculate the
distance btween two points so u got ur zero points then we use makers
recommendation values for accoto temp of hub and tail and pressure given by
makers............
First a fall we put hub on a tail shaft with a pressure of 65 bar
with pilgrim nut then maake ref mark 25 mm frm fwd end of the hub then put dial
gauge on hub and then apply full oressure and finalky reach tht point and again
second mark of 25 mm frm fwd end of the hub and after pushup measure distance
between two reference marks noted...

the delivery valve is a non return type there is a collar below the smal valve disc
which wil release the presure of the delivery line before closing the valve..bt that
delvry line wil remain primed without of pressure..

First a fall take ouut cylinder head and remove all valves frm the head and then
clean ur head with emry paper and after cleaning we will put wooden plug or teflon

pressure gauge and water prividing plug in one flange for testing then apoly 1.5

Why we blow through engine

This water in incompressible..and can cause a severe damage to liner ..to remove
ths we blow through and observe the content coming out
SWITCH LEVEL 1:The steering system has two lube oil tank system with 2 rams
functioning on each system. Thelevel switch 1gives an initial alarm following a loss
of oil from either system. In normal operation one power unit provides hydraulic
power to all four rams.The causes for the loss of oil is mainly due to broken
hydraulic pipes and damage in the ram, thus the leakage oil drains to the bilge
well.SWITCH LEVEL 2:When no action is taken immediately upon the previous
alarm, the loss of oil continuesand over a period of time this loss of oil intiates one
or both of the level switches 2. This leads to the energization of a solenoid operated
servo valve causing a combined isolating valve and bypass valve to operate. Thus
splitting the system such thateach power unit supplies power to 2 rams only .At the
same time this switch automatically starts the other standby helesaw pump to assist
the turning and building up the pressure in the rams.SWITCH LEVEL 3:This switch
will get activated when there is still no further improvement in the loss of oil on the
faulty side. In such a situation thesteering continues un-interupted if one unitis
stopped and thus the rudder is turned with the help of the other unit system of 2
rams only, isolating the faulty one, and this is called as emergency steering.Thus
the steering system is designed to work at half of the maximum torque on
thesteering system.The defective system is put out of action and isolated.RELIEF
VALVE:A relief valve is fitted in the system to prevent over pressure in the hydraulic
system due to shock loading of rudder. Shock loading of the rudder could occur in a
variety of cases such as bad weather.MANUAL BY PASS VALVE:This valve is only
operated when there is a failure of the one of the systems and the rudder stock has
to be turned mechanically, so that the ideal fluid can flow from the high pressure
side to low pressure side.LOW PRESSURE VALVE :Low pressure valve is a NON
RETURN VALVE fitted in the main hydraulic pressureline, which opens for oil filling
from a header tank if a low pressure situation occurs in the system .ELECTRICAL
STOPPER:It stops the hydraulic pump when the position of the rudder turning is at
an angleof 36o. It automatically cuts of the supply because it is the maximum
turning angle ofrudder. (It normally operates at 35oangle).MECHANICAL
STOPPER:In case of electrical stopper fails, the mechanical stopper is provided so
that it stops the tiller arm after 36oangle of rudderElectrical motor overload
alarmWhen ever hydraulic motor or helesaw pump motor draws excessive current
during bad weather, the steering should not fail. Instead it gives an alarm about
excessive current being drawn by the motor. Continued recurrence of this alarm
could mean that the electrical motor might burn up.POWER FAILURE ALARM:The
full power failure alarm will be raised if the power fails in black out condition.
Emergency power should be arranged with in 45 seconds and the emergency
generator must be capable to give power for at least 30 minutes for a big ship and
10min in case of small ships (ships<10,000 ton diaplacement).

What is pitch of propeller

260

why auxiliary engine performance is not taken using indicator cards?

This is because unlike a 2 stroke engine in 4 stroke engine the piston comes twice
to TDC in a cycle,so we cant take indicator cards ,and instead compression
pressure and combustion pressure is taken aux engines run at
higher rpm .. so the pressure fluctuations are so rapid that the stylus will not be able
to follow the pressure fluctuations due to inertia lag of the spring and the graph
obtained will not be a steady one unlike what u get in a 2 stroke ..

The hole diameter decides the position of the interface. The bigger the internal
diameter, the farther is the interface. Vice versa. The farther is the interface the
poorer is the separation. It depends on the density of the oil being separated. The
denser the bigger internal diameter of GD required, the lighter the oil, the smaller
diameter of GD is required.

fuel quality system... for bad fuel... manually operated(by lever)...

1.air in the system 2. buffer spring too weak or faulty. 3.major leakages
in the hydaulic line. 4. Inappropriate working of telemotor system...

assemling procedure:- put the barrel from the top of the fuel pump body..ensure
that o rings are in place(outside of the barrel, which prevent the f.o leaking into the
crankcase). then hand tighten the clamping bolts of the barrel. invert the fuel pump
body and insert the rack. now put the control sleeve in such a way that a notch
mark on the control sleeve matches the notch on the rack...after that put the spring
carrier and then spring.. finally the plunger has to be slided in with its key into the
slot of control sleeve.. put the plunger seat on the base of plunger and then place
the guide sleeve onto it.. take the assembly to the drilling machine and slightly
press the guide sleeve 2-3mm and then fit the circlip.. then tighten the clamping
bolt of the barrel with specified torque,,,, finally fit the delivery valve onto the barrel
safety to be observed:- make sure the
plunger is absolutely clean otherwise it will get scoring marks... apply new o rings
and smear with oil.. keep the assembling area very clean.. pay special attention to
the assembling of the delivery valve..
it has got stagnant control arrangement....
Piston rod is connected with crosshead with palm nuts ..n connecting rod with bolts
ege is used just to heat the water either by inlet air or outlet ..EGB it is only by by

exhaust or by burning fuel

Its because in the 1st stage the air temp gained is under limit to be cooled by a
single pass but after 2nd stage which is a high pressure stage.. The temp rises
abnormally. So single pass cooler won't be able to control the temp. For that we
require double / multi pass after cooler................................. first stage pressure 5

283

Cylinder head leakage detecting methods?

After overhauling, plug all the cooling water holes,fill the cooling space of cylinder
head by water and the filling hole with the flange containing pressure gauge and
filling air nozzle.lncrease the pressure to 1.5 times the working pressure by passing
air through the air nozzle and visually inspect the leak for water.

How will u come to know that air cooler tube is leaking while running?

Leaking tubes can be a difficulty and will be noticed when the water is found in the
scavenge drain system. It must be confirmed that it is seawater and not
condensation due to humidity.
1. Reduce engine speed and air temperature before turbocharger to be
less than 65C
2. Cut off the cooling water and remove end covers 3.
Cover one end of tubes completely with a thick sheet of jointing. Apply
soap water at the other end. 4. Leaking tube will give off bubbles. 5.
Plug the leaking tube with wooden plugs or copper tapered plugs.

Advantage of water tube boiler

After identifying the damaged tube, the expanded part of the tube is shaved off on
both sides with a drill bit leaving about 5 mm in the tube plate. The tube-setting tool
is inserted into the shaved part of the tube and hit with the hammer. This way the
tube can be pushed out of the tube plate till the tube end is grasped with a wrench.
The whole length of the tube is pulled out with the help of a wrench. In case the
tube cannot be removed by this method, then expanded parts of both ends are
shaved off completely. The tube-setting tool is then used.
A spare tube is inserted into the tube hole
and adjusted such that it exceeds the face of the tube plate by 1.5 mms on the
cooling water inlet side. The projected part of the tube is expanded with bell
expansion tool. This part of the tube would not be inserted into tube plate when the
tube expander is used. The tube expander is used with the help of a drill machine
or manually. The tube can be held on other side if the tube turns while expanding.
Pushing forward the tube expander to about 20/25 mms expands the tube. When
reversing the drill machine, the tube expander must be drawn out of the tube. After
expanding both ends, the tubes can be pressure tested.

Open valves in order (1), (2), (3), and close in reverse. The blow down valve
adjacent to the boiler (2) should be fully open to prevent cutting of the valve seating
faces. The rate of blow down is controlled by the second blow down valve (3).
Never leave the boiler unattended when blowing down and ensure all valves are
fully closed after blowing down. A hot drain pipe indicates a leaking blow down
valve.
1) Ship Side v/v
2)V/V attacthed to the
boiler shell
3) V/v adjacent to v/v no.2

Connecting the bottom of the furnace to the boiler shell plating is a seamless
Ogee ring. This ring is pressed out of thicker plating than the furnace; the greater
thickness is necessary since circulation in its vicinity is not as good as elsewhere in
the boiler and deposits can accumulate between it and the boiler shell plating. Hand
hole cleaning doors are provided around the circumference of the boiler in the
region of the Ogee ring. Tell-tale holes drilled at equal circumferential intervals in
the boiler shell enable leakage between the Ogee ring and the boiler shell to be
detected.
1.High efficiency (generally greater than 85 %) hence reduced fuel
consumption. 2.Flexibility of design important space consideration.
3.Capable of high output (i.e. high evaporation rate). 4.High pressures
and temperatures improve turbine plant efficiency. 5.Flexible in
operation to meet fluctuating demands of the plant superheat control
rapidly responsive to changing demands. 6.Generally all surfaces are
circular hence no supporting stays are required. 7.Steam can be raised
rapidly from cold if the occasion demands (3 to 4 hours compared to 24
hours for smoke tube or fire tube boilers) because of the positive
circulation.
8.Consider a fire tube or smoke tube boiler and a water
tube boiler with similar evaporation rates the water tube boiler would be
compact and relatively light by comparison and its water content would
be about 7 tonnes or less compared with the smoke tube or fire tube
boilers 30 tonnes. 9.With double casing radiation loss can be cut to 1
% or less.

Why Refrigeration Compressor Takes Suction from Crankcase

Unlike air compressors, it is common in reciprocating type refrigeration

compressors to take suction from crankcase. Outlet from the evaporator
coils is led to the compressor crankcase. There are a few advantages
with this design.
1.) Since crankcase is pressurized, no air can enter
the system.
2.) No refrigerant gas is wasted by even small blow
pasts from the compressor pistons.
3.) Refrigerant gas is miscible
with oil. This property helps the gas to bring the oil in the system back to
the compressor. In some designs, oil in the refrigerant gas drips inside
the crankcase before leading it for compression.

To calculate the clearance volume of a cylinder with concave or convex

piston crown, follow the steps below.
1.Keep the cylinder head intact
with cylinder jacket and check for proper tightening. If it is not properly
tightened, tighten it with a torque wrench as per the instruction manual.
2.Open the fuel injector or fuel valve from the cylinder head.
3.Bring the piston slightly off top dead center by means of a turning bar
or turning gear motor.
4.Take a known quantity of thicker oil and pour
it in to the cylinder head till the cylinder is full of oil up to the fuel
injector hole or any convenient level. Always use thicker oil because use
of very thin oil may leak through the piston ring clearance.
5.Record
the quantity of oil poured in to the cylinder and slowly turn the flywheel
so that the piston approaches TDC. Now the oil will start coming out from
the cylinder through the injector hole exactly till the time piston reaches
TDC.
6.Carefully collect the oil without spillage and measure the
expelled quantity (L) of oil. The difference of this measured quantity of oil
with the initial volume of oil poured will give the clearance volume of a
cylinder including the volume of the injector hole. Now the clearance
volume of a cylinder can be calculated by subtracting the fuel injector
hole volume, which can found mathematically by the diameter and the
height of the hole. Thus the clearance volume of a cylinder with an
irregular shape of a piston crown and cylinder head is calculated.
