46
Q

when are citadel tests carried out

A

  • prior to DED (dicking extended duration)
  • during harbour acceptance trials
  • during sea acceptance trials
  • during a FOST work up
47
Q

how is a citadel test conducted

A
  1. Close all openings on the Citadel boundary and put system on re-circ
  2. Open AFU inlets and start AFUs
  3. Restrict access to and from Citadel to essential personnel only. AIRLOCKS MUST BE USED.
  4. Search for leaks and carry out temporary repairs.
  5. Record the result of the test in the SEF & D171 Part II survey report
48

A

SCC/HQ1

49
Q

what is the crash stop

built into the ventilation system to allow fans to be stopped in case of an emergency

50
Q

whats Michael Dents middle name?

A

John William

51
Q

What is natural defrosting and when is it done

A

Turn the fridge off and it’s carried out every 3-6 months or when the ship will de-store

52
Q

What is hot gas defrosting and when is it carried out

A

Uses hot high pressure vapour which is passed through the evaporator. Carried out for 4 15 minute sessions throughout the day

53
Q

How do you defrost using electrical heating coils and when is it done

A

Uses either rod type or wrap around coils in the evaporator. Carried out for a maximum of 1 hour (to prevent the oil from burning)
