What process converts steam into liquid which is called condensate by using the main condesner?
Condensation
This is stored in the hotwell then the condensate pumps takes suction from the hotwell passes through the air ejects
Condensate
Converts condensate into ** using the following equipment: air ejectors, first stage feed heater and the DFT
Feed
What are the four phases of basic refrigeration cycle?
Compressor, condenser, thermal expansion valve and evaporators
Low pressure/low temperature refrigerant vapor coming from the evaporator into high pressure/high temperature refrigerant gas is what phase of the refrigeration cycle?
Compressor
High pressure/high temperature refrigerant gas coming from the compressor goes into the top of the condenser (which is a shell tube condenser 2 way pass) and gets condensed by the cooling medium which is auxiliary machinery cooling water is what phase of the refrigeration cycle?
Condenser
What meters the flow of refrigerant and at the same time expands the high pressure/high temperature liquid refrigerant into low pressure/low temperature refrigerant mix going into the evaporator?
TXV (Thermal Expansion Valve)
Starts at the outlet of the thermal expansion valve and ends in the suction of the compressor
Refrigeration cycle low side
Starts in the compressor discharge and ends in the inlet side of the thermal expansion valve
Refrigeration cycle high side
What are the three purposes of the DFT (Deaerate Feed Tank)?

What type of boiler do we have on board?
D type 600lb modified to 700lb
What is the reason why it is called a D-type boiler?
The tubes on the fire side are shaped like a D
Why is the boiler called 600lb?
It produces 600 main steam from the super heater and 600 auxiliary steam from the desuperheater
What are the components of the boiler?
Steam drum, water drum and downcomers
What is the component that preheats the water before it enters the boiler?
Economizer

Fuel, Heat, and Air
How many burners are there on the burner front?
6 burners
The boiler is in which phase of the basic steam cycle?
Generation phase
Where does the 600 main steam go to?
Main engine
SSTG
600 auxiliary steam goes to several equipment, such as what?
MFP (Main feed pump)
FFP (Fire Flushing Pumps)
FDP (Forced Draft Blowers)
Which engine uses 600 main steam, classified as HP, LP turbine, double helical, double reduction, articulated?
Main Engine
This means first reduction gear and second reduction pinion connected by a quil shaft and a flexible coupling
Articulated
The main engine has how many bearing in the expansion phase of the basic steam cycle?
21 bearings
What are the two shafts connected to the 2 main engines?
Port and starboard shaft
How many bearings does the port shaft have?
8 bearings
How many bearings does the starboard shaft have?
5 bearings
What is used to lubricate the bearings?
Lube oil 2190 TEP
This is located under the main engine and is used to produce condensate?
Main condenser
This provides the salt for the main condenser, it starts below 12 knots and it stops when the ship is going above 12 knots
Main Circ Pump
There are two sea water inlets for the main condenser, what are they?
Main Circ Pump
Scoop Injection
What are used to keep a constant flow of sea water into the main condenser?
Sea water inlets
This pump is electrically operated and is started when the ship is going below 12 knots and is stopped above 12 knots; it is also the largest pump on the ship
Main circ pump
This is a flap so when the ship is going above 12 knots it opens due to the force of sea water against the flap
Scoop Injection
What provides electricity throughout the ship?
SSTG
How many SSTG’s are onbaord?

What does EDG stand for?
Emergency Diesel generator
How many EDG’s do we have onboard?
2
Where are the locations of the EDG’s?
