Which of the following water resources is/are used for primary cooling?
Seawater and chilled water
The cooling water for the primary cooling system is either seawater or chilled water. The seawater is from the sea and the chilled water is from what source?
The ship’s air conditioning plant
When temperature range is considered to be critical, what type of cooling system would most likely satisfy this need?
Type III (cw/dw heat exchanger with a cw/dw heat exchanger standby)
What type of liquid cooling system can satisfactorily be operated when seawater temperatures reach 95°F?
TYpe I (sw/dw heat exchanger with sw/dw heat exchanger standby
What is Type II Liquid cooling config?
SW/DW heat exchanger with CW/DW heat exchanger stby
In a primary cooling system, flow regulator may be known by what other term?
- Orifice plate
Open looped seawater systems are also called one-pass because the seawater flows through the system only once.
true
Secondary cooling systems are which of the following types?
Closed-loop only
An expansion tank is installed in what system to compensate for changes in coolant volume?
- The distilled water
What term best describes a expansion tank that is located above the highest point in the secondary system and vented to the atmosphere
- Gravity tank
What term best describes an expansion tank that requires an air charge on the tank and is located below the highest point in the secondary cooling system?
Compression tank
What definition best describes the word submicron?
Less than one millionth of a meter
The Type II cooling system employs what configuration?
One SW/DW heat exchanger and one standby CW/DW heat exchanger
The Type III cooling system employs what configuration?
One CW/DW heat exchanger and one standby CW/DW heat exchanger
In a Type III cooling system, the two-way temperature regulating valve is used instead of a threeway valve to regulate the temperature in what system component(s)?
- The secondary loop
Heat exchanger
is constructed to be shell-type and tube-type in which the secondary coolant flows through the shell, while the primary coolant flows through the tubes.
Flow regulators
It is used to provide a constant flow of coolant through the system
Expansion tank
It maintains a positive pressure on the circulating pump inlet, compensates for changes in the coolant volume and it vents air from the system.
Seawater strainer
It is used in the seawater cooling system to remove debris and sea life, which could clog the pressure and flow control devices.
Temperature regulating valve
It regulates the amount of cooling water flowing through or bypassing a heat exchanger to maintain a desired temperature of distilled water going to the electronic equipment
Circulating pump
It is used to circulate secondary distilled water
Demineralize
It maintains the secondary cooling system’s purity
An oxygen analyzer is used to measure the amount of dissolved oxygen in the liquid cooling system. The presence of oxygen causes oxidation within the cooling system.
true
When inspecting a telltale drain, you discover that it is leaking. What failure does it indicate?
- The tube joint
The overall effectiveness of the heat exchanger is determined by comparing the primary inlet temperature to its outlet pressure. The result of this comparison is best described by what term?
Temperature gradient
The device that is inserted in the heat exchanger’s water box to concentrate electrolytic action to it vice to the metal of the heat exchanger’s tubes is made of what material (s)?
- Zincs only 3. Zinc anode only
Who is the best qualified person on board to determine the overall condition of the cooling system?
- Engineering officer
The expansion tank sight glass should normally read in what range?
2/3 to 4/5 full
