Q

How does the propulsion system work?

A

Water is drawn into the Waterjet through an intake grate mounted flush with the hull bottom. Suction is provided by the Waterjet pump with an impeller. Water is then discharged through the steering nozzle.

Q

Raw water system flow

A

Suction line from the sea chest (Laz) for each engine.

Raw water from sea chest passes through duplex strainer. Seawater pumps and heat exchangers mounted on engines. Heated seawater is then discharged through engine exhaust system where it cools the exhaust and discharged overboard.

*There is a valve to redirect heated water back to sea chest for operations in slush ice. Recirculating valves are below the grating at foot of Laz ladder.

Q

How does fuel system work?

A

From tank to primary fuel filters located centerline aft of the engines

4; 2 in pilot house and 2 in survivors compartment The two in each compartment are 1500W electric standalone heater and a 3000W duct heater. They operate independently of each other. The 3000W duct heaters are used when sea water temperatures are too cold.
37
Electrical system components
- auragen power system - batteries - battery controls - battery charger - AC power distribution - Shore power distribution - DC power distribution - DC-DC converters - exterior lighting - interior lighting
38
Auragen system consists of what three things?
- Auragen Viper G8500X IPS (induction power source) - ECU - ICS control panel (inverter charging system)
39
What is the Auragen?
Induction power unit mounted at front of each engine. Belt-driven through engine crank shaft Provides distribution to the AC and DC systems
40
Auragen kW rating
8.5 kW
41
What does the ECU do?
Receives power from the Auragen and converts it to DC voltage and once converted, provides a regulated 24 volt DC for battery charge and the DC power distribution system. It also inverts the DC voltage to AC voltage when selected by the AC Power ON/OFF control switch on the ICS control panel
42
ECU locations
Forward aux space outboard of batteries.
43
Auragen control panel location
Engineer console Has an on/off switch and four led indicators
44
How many batteries are there?
Four in two separate battery banks Located on forward bulkhead of Aux space One battery bank for START and one for HOUSE.
45
Where is the battery charger?
Aux space; forward bulkhead, starboard side
46
How many volts are the batteries
12 volts each, connected in series to provide 24 VDC current to the DC power distribution bus.
47
Where are the deicing valves (recirculating valves)?
Lazarette under the grate at the bottom of the ladder.
48
