How many steering units are there
4
What type of system operates the steering units
closed loop hydraulic system
Where are the steering units located?
Aft steering: 3rd deck frame 247 port and stbd side
where is the ram assembly located
4th deck below aft steering
how many steering units are online during normal operation
2, 1 port and 1 stbd. 1+4 on even days, 2+3 odd days
where can you steer the ship from
bridge, aft steering, secondary conn in DCC
what is the purpose of emergency steering
brings the rudder amidships during a casualty
explain the two modes of steering
non-followup: helm electric control from the bridge
Followup: has the trick wheel engaged in aft sterring
what is the purpose of the steering pumps
consists of two independent variable hydraulic pumps that move hydraulic liquid to the main system
what is the purpose of the trick wheel
provides local hydraulic control of the steering system in case of failure of the remote steering system
what is the purpose of the differential control box
mechanically positions the tilt box of the main hydraulic pump to the required angle and position
what is the purpose of the ram assembly
the ram unit is mounted athwartship and consists of a single ram operated by opposed cylinders, the ram is connected by links to the tillers of the twin rudders. When oil pressure is applied to one end of the operating cylinder, the ram will move, causing each rudder to move with it
describe the emergency steering pump
a hand pump and associated service lines provided for local manual operation of the ram in case of failure of both hydraulic pump units
describe the rack and pinion follow up assembly
the rack and pinion follow up assembly transmit a signal to the differential control box when the ordered steering operation has been completed
What are the four phases of the refridgeration cycle
compression, condensation, expansion, evaporation
what is the purpose of the AC system
provide cooling to vital electronic equipment, crew comfot
how many ac plants are on board
ten
classify the AC plants
york 363 ton centrifugal
classify the refers
york 7 ton reciprocating
how many refers do we have on board
5
what color is chill water piping
light blue with green stripes
what color is refridgerant piping
dark purple
what is the designed temp for chill water
44F
what is the primary AC unit for the island
7
Describe the compression phase
a low pressure, high temp vapor is turned into a high pressure, high temp vapor
describe the condensation phase
a high pressure, high temp vapor is turned into a high pressure, high temp liquid
describe the expansion phase
a high pressure, high temp liquid is turned into a low temp, low pressure liquid
describe the evaporation phase
a low temp, low pressure liquid is turned into a low pressure, high temp vapor
