5.

Describe the procedure to start a fresh water generator, boiler, emergency generator?

In case of fresh water generator:

(1)

Check the valves to make sure that they are in the normal position

(2)

Open the sea water valves of condenser and supply sea water to heating chamber

(3)

Start the sea water ejector pump to draw out the vacuum until the heating chamber vacuum

reaches 93% (about 700 mmHg)

(4)

Open the water heating valves and keep the heating chamber temperature around 45 degrees

Centigrade

(5)

When the condensed water reaches a certain level, start the distilled water pump, and keep its

pressure no less than 0.2MPa.

(6)

Start chemical liquid feed pump.

In case of automatic boiler:

(1)

Check the water level to make sure there is normal volume of water inside

(2)

Open the vent valve on top of the boiler (if it is first time to raise pressure from cold condition)

(3)

Confirm

the boiler water supply pumps are in “Auto” condition

(4)

Switch on the power supply

(5)

Put the boiler control switch in “Auto” condition

(6)

Automatically start the boiler, close the air vent valve while the boiler steam pressure reaches

0.02 MPa.

(7)

Confirm the boiler can auto stop while it pressure reaches “high limit” (e.g. 0.7MPa)

In case of manual boiler

(1)

Check the water level to make sure there is normal volume of water inside and put the feed

water pump in “Auto” position

(2)

Open the vent valve on top of the boiler (if it is first time raise pressure from cold condition)

(3)

Put

the

draft

fan

in

“Manual”

position,

and

make

preventive

blow

to

avoid

any

possible

explosion

(4)

Put the fuel oil pump in “Manual” position

(5)

Ignite

fire by pressing the manual button, if the fire “On”, put valve

(6)

When the steam pressure reaches to 0.1MPa, close the air vent valve

(7)

After making

sure

that

everything

is in

order,

the

normal burning

can

be

done to make

the

steam pressure reach required level

In case of emergency generator

(1)

Check the lube oil level in the crankcase and fuel oil level in the tank all in normal level

(2)

Check to see if there is any leakage

(3)

Check the air pressure if the generator is the air-started model; or check the battery voltage to

see whether it is normal if the generator is of the battery start model

(4)

Also make sure there aren’t any obstacles around the machine.

(5)

Put

the

test

switch

in

“Manual”

position,

and

manually

start

it

after

maki

ng

sure

that

above- mentioned items in order

(6)

If you use “Auto test” model, or “Black out” model to test the emergency generator, you must

inform bridge duty officer and Chief Engineer. And you cannot carry it until you get the permit from

both of them. Otherwise, you must wait

(7)

“Auto test” must be carried out once every month. “Blackout” test must be carried out once

every 3 months

6.

When the main engine cannot started by the compressed air, what are the possible causes?

There may be the following causes

(1)

Air pressure is too low

(2)

The turning gear is still engaged

(3)

There may be operational fault

(4)

Some of the high injection pumps are sticked

(5)

No fuel oil due to the fact that the fuel valve is not open or the fuel pump is not running

(6)

Relative locked due to some safety device actions

(7)

Air distributor timing has been wrong

Etc.

7.

When main engine stops after running a while, what are the possible causes?

The following reasons may lead to the problem:

(1)

Some of the high injection pumps are sticked

(2)

There is no fuel oil because valve is not open or the fuel pump is not running

(3)

Lube oil pressure is too low, or control air pressure is too low

8.

What is the purpose of taking lube oil samples for analysis?

By

analyzing

the

lube

oil

sample,

we

want

to

know

whether

the

lube

oil

meets

the

stipulated

standards in viscosity, TBN (total base number), flash point, water contents, mechanic impurities

etc.

. If impurities (i.e. metals) are found, it means something wrong with the bearing and crankshaft.

If the viscosity is lower than the standard, it may mean that fuel oil may have leaked into the lube oil

system. Too much fuel oil in the lube oil system can lower the flash point of the lube and also may

lead to possible explosion. The important figure is TBN. If the TBN is lower than the standard, it

means the loss of the

anti-acid ability

and this will lead to the moving parts corrosive in the near

future.

9.

10. Before and after any hot works is carried out, what are the safety precautions you take?

(1)

An application of hot work permit must made before this kind of work is done. One copy shall

be put on hot work spot, and another copy in ship’s file

(2)

Make sure that you are suitably equipped and clothed

(3)

Observe carefully to see whether the weather, and the temperature are fit for firework

(4)

See whether the fired part and its vicinity have any potential inflammable materials or toxic

gases that can arise any fire or poisoning disaster. Make sure that the hot work spot is cleaned and

is free from such thins as diesel oil, kerosene, paint, cleaners or thinners.

(5)

And make sure that you have enough extinguisher equipment available.

(6)

When the hot work is done, make sure the firemen are standing by for any emergency

(7)

After the firework is done, check carefully whether any inflammable things are left

(8)

Ask one or two person to watch carefully for a period time until you are sure that there will not

be any inflammation or ignition after you leave the spot.

11. What kind of work belongs to hot work? When are you not allowed to do hot work?

Hot work refers to all the work involving high temperature, open flames, or sparks that can cause

ignition

of

combustible

gases,

vapor,

or

liquid

in

vicinity

where

such

is

done.

This

kind

of

work

includes electric and gas welding and cutting or burning, grinding, metal chipping, sandblasting/grit

blasting, work with sparks caused by falling or hitting, work with electric sparks, other work with high

temperature etc.

Under the following circumstances, hot work is forbidden:

(1)

Anywhere on the ship during cargo operation, when handling flammable cargoes unless the

ship has got permission from the terminal and port authority

(2)

Anywhere and any time during the bunkering

(3)

In enclosed paces or where atmosphere is suspicious

(4)

Where painting work is underway at same time

(5)

Where unsafe factors are suspected

12. How do you carry out gas testing and how do you test the explosion?

I use the gas tester to detect the gas composite content.

In the vicinity of the places to be tested, the flammable gas content should not more than the limited

figure, and no combustive materials are available to avoid any fire.

13.

Pleas explain the meaning of “SOPEP”? What contents should be included in the SOPEP?

SOPEP means Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan and it should contain the following:
