low manpower

36
Q

what are the 5 strokes of a gas turbine?

A

inductions
compression
combustion
power
exhaust

37
Q

what is induction?

A

air from previous stage goes in

38
Q

what is compression?

A

air goes in at atmospheric pressure into LP compressor

increases the pressure using a series of rotating blades
have divergent passages within them that moves and compresses air as it passes between the blades.
the air goes out into a second set of rotating blades, HP compressor
the pressure and temperature both increase.

39
Q

what is combustion?

A

releases maximum amount of chemical energy from the fuel
mixes compresses air with atomised fuel
ignitor is housed here and provides a high tension spark to ignite mixture
some of air is used to cool the chamber and burnt when there is a flame
air heated up and dramatically before becoming the working fluid for turbines.

40
Q

explain what air goes where in the combustion chamber

A

15% primary air- this air is used to help ignite the burner
10% secondary air- there creates a safety layer between the edge of the can and the flame
75% tertiary air- becomes working fluid

41
Q

what is the power stroke?

A

remaining energy after passing HP and low LP goes through the power turnbine.

42
Q

what is exhaust?

A

gases directed away via tunnel

43
Q

what is the routine maintnace?

A

prestart check as per book of reference

done hourly
- pressure and temp
- oil levels
-noise + vibration
- leaks

always inform senior rate

44
Q

what is wet motoring?

A

fuel being supplied to the engine with igniters and fuses isolated

happens after any maintaince to purge it

45
Q

what is dry motoring?

A

fuel, fuses and igniters are isolated

purges combustion chamber of nay unburnt fuel and any explosive gases after a fail start.

46
Q

what is water washing?

A

carried out to prevent debris falling in compressor blades.
used with distilled water and compressor cleaning inhibited fluid

47
Q

what is inhibiting fluid?

A

PX24 apply after 10 days of the engine being off, spray down the blades
prevents corrision

48
Q

what does the and trip do?

A

activates HP fuel shut off cock
if engines are online the command approval must be met before operating this trip

49
Q

what do fire detectors do?

A

provide indecation of high temperature on LCP and SCC

50
Q

what is the power turbines entry temperature? (PTET)

A

governor - monitors PTET and controls the amount of fuel to the engine if these set levels are exceeded

trip- stops the engine should the exhaust gas temperature exceed safety parameters

51
Q

what does the partial overspeed safety device do?

A

if engine overspeed, reduces the fuel supplied to reduce engines speed

52
Q

what does vibration monitor do?

A

monitors engine vibrations levels and sets off an alarm if it exceeds

53
Q

what does power turbine overspeed do?

A

if the turbine speed reaches 110% of its safe limit, high pressure shut off cock will stop the engine by isolating fuel supply

54
Q

exmaples of safety inter-locks

A

electrical supplies
clutch being disengaged

55
Q

what are igniters?

A

produce powerful sparks using voltages
like spark plugs in a petrol engine

56
Q

what is a drenching system?

A

when the fire alarm goes off, CO2/BTM is realised.

the ventilation system is shut down, flaps closed.

ventilate after use

57
Q

what is the module ventilation?

A

the module that house the gas turbine. it cools the system via ventilation system
air goes in due to the low pressure (depression) created at the other end of the tunnel.
air circulates the system keeping it cool
depression is formed by rushing of exhaust gasses.

58
Q

stages of the gas turbine? before 5 stroke parts.

A

3 stage filtration
intake trunking
splitter/silencer
stone guard
transition duct
cascade bend
engine intake flare

59
Q

explain the 3 part filtration system?

A
  1. spray eliminator- air changes direction to to baffle plates, this means that the water drops off allowing mainly dry air to pass
  2. knit mesh filter- removes any derbies
  3. water eliminator- removes any residual water
60
Q

what is a splitter/ silencer?

A

perforated valves with sound absorbing materials
air goes over the vanes and splits the air flow
removes turbulence, air noise and buffering

61
Q

what is a stoneguard?

A

prevents large particles of debris from entering the turbine

62
Q

what is the transition duct?

A

provides a smooth change from square cross section to a circular cross section

63
Q

what is the cascade bend?

A

allows for a smooth 90 degrees change of direction

64
Q

what is the engine intake flare?

A

seals the engine intake from rest if the module
houses water wash ring
has hoes which allow water/compressor cleaning fluid
sprays water when it needs to be cleaned.

65
Q

name the ways to embark fuel at sea

A

RAS
Road bowser
direct jetty pipeline
jetty storage tank
barge

66
Q

what is RAS?

A

fuel taken from a supply ship.
everyone wears anit-flash
very hazardous because ships are clsoe

67
Q

what is road bowser/tank?

A

receive from a road bowser
taken in at a slower rate so takes longer but is safer

68
Q

how does a filling trunk work?

A

fuel enters and fills up until it reaches the weir height

continued fuelling will cause it to to cascade over the weir and down into the fuelling manifold

69
Q

what is a displaced tank?

A

fuel tank that contains some water
only over filled to 90% to keep ship stability

70
Q

What is an non-displaced tank?

A

fuel tank that only holds fuel then passes through the centrifuge

71
Q

what is the centrifuge?

A

separates oil/fuel from water using centrifugal force. once clean, stored in the service tank

72
Q

what is fuel tested for?

A

water
dirt
surfactants

73
Q

reasons to test fuel?

A

salt can cause corrosion
water can cause MBG
dirt will block fliters

74
Q

types of fuel test?

A

visual
water reaction test
diesel filteration test
colour test

75
Q

hazards of fuel?

A

fire
toxicity
dermatitis
pollution

76
Q

flow of fuel from tanker to engine?
