Engineer Flashcards
Engineer Duties
In addition to all duties and responsibilities of a boat crew member, engineers are responsible for propulsion and auxiliary machinery.
Other responsibilities include the preventive and corrective maintenance performed on the boat.
Disabling casualties
“Make the boat not serviceable”
EX:
- Fuel or oil dripping on a hot surface (400°f)
- Fuel oil dilution above 2.5%D
- No portable fire extinguishers
- Hull breach below waterline
Restrictive Discrepancies
“Restrict the operations of the boat such that it can preform some missions, but not all missions safely”
EX:
- Bilge pumps inoperative
- F/O dripping on a NOT hot surface. 1 drop within 10 minutes.
- Nav lights inoperative or incorrect configuration displaying incorrect lighting characteristics
- Depth sounder inop
- More then <15 drops per minute of J/W, R/W, L/O, Hydraulics, R/G oil
Major discrepancies
“Degrade the effectiveness of the boat to perform one or more missions”
EX:
- Any fuel leak that drips less than 1 drop within 10 minutes
- 01 gen not operation properly
- Compass light inoperable
- Inability to open/close doors, hatches or scuttles
- Less than >15 drops per minute of J/W, R/W, L/O, Hydraulics, R/D oil
Purpose of lube oil
- Lubricates
- Cools
- Cleans
- Protects
Purpose of fuel oil
- Lubricates
- Cools
- Cleans
- Powers
Flow of the Electrical system
Gens→ ACU cleans it to 240 VAC @ 60hrtz→ Victron multiplus inverter/charger→ battery charger→ batteries-ACR-batteries-24v panel→12v converter→24v panel
Victron multiplus → Transformer 240-120→AC panel
Shoretie→ Shoretie transformer→ Victron multiplus
Gen control panel→ ties to ACU and Victron multiplus
Flow of the Fuel System
Fuel tanks→ shut off valves→ primary filters→ fuel pump→ secondary filters→ fuel injectors→ Restricted Orifice (Size 0.08 in) → plate cooler→ check valve→ tank
Hand primer before fuel pump then to secondary filter
Flow of the L/O
Engine sump→ pump→ to turbo back to sump→ L/O cooler → filter back to cooler(in-between sample valves)→ pistons→ rocker arms and gear train then gravity falls back to the sump.
Flow of the R/D gear L/O system
R/G sump→ pump→ R/G→ to the thermostat→ sump or → to the shell and tube cooler→ then back to the sump.
Flow of the J/W system
J/W pump→ L/O cooler→ engine block→ head→ thermostat→ back to the pump or thermostat→ back to plate cooler→ back to the pump
Also hits the turbo and exhaust manifold then dumps to the thermostat.
Flow of the Raw water system
Seachest→ valves→ strainers→ pump→ (shared gear train with the hydraulic pump)→ plate cooler→ splits off hits CAC then back to main line→ R/G cooler(shell/tube)→ deicing valve→ then muffler→ then → OVBD
Flow of the Hydraulic System
09 gallon tank→ pump (shared gear train with raw water pump)→ DCV’s→ Bucket ram→ Steering ram→ Intercept ram→ Keel cooler→ filter→ tank
Flow of the FM-200 system
Coxswain side Nitrogen bottle (1,800 psi)→ 30 second delay at same time hitting pressure switch to cut ventilation and kills engines→ then FM-200 agent (30lbs 340 psi)→ then hits 03 dampeners and enters the engine room.
Flow of the bilge pump system
Fore peak→ Starboard (frame #15 )
Survivors compartment→ Portside (frame #10)
Auxiliary space→ Port and Starboard (frame #07)
Engine room→ Starboard (frame #02)
Laz→ Aft (frame #0)
