第二章
1. Please describe the difference between the diesel engine and the gasoline engine The main difference between the diesel engine and the gasoline engine include: 1) the combustion medium of a diesel engine is diesel oil or fuel oil, while that for a gasoline engine is gas oil. 2) the diesel engine is ignited through compression of hot, high pressure oil/air mixture, but the gasoline engine is ignited by electrical spark plug. 3) for diesel engine, the air and oil is mixed inside the cylinder, while for gasoline engine, they are mixed outside the cylinder.
2. Xiao Wang is a cadet of engine department, who is graduated from Shanghai Maritime University. How do you introduce all the engine room to him.
First, I will tell the cadet the importance the engine room. Second, I should introduce the various machinery and systems in the engine room, such as the main engine, the alternators, boilers, pumps, oil water separator and so on. Third, I will show him how to operate the various equipment and devices safely, and introduce as much safety knowledge as I can. 3. same as question No 2.
4. Look at the illustration and say something about the disposal(布置) of the shafting and diesel.
The power of the diesel engine is transmitted to the propeller through the transmission system. The items of transmission system include various shafts, such as the thrust shaft, one or more intermediate shafts and tail shaft. These shafts are supported by the thrust block, intermediate bearings and the sterntube bearing. The propeller consist of a boss with several blades,. The thrust is transmitted along the shafting to the thrust block and finally to ship structure.
5. Look at the illustration and say something about the probability of disposal of medium speed and high speed diesel engine.
There is a gear box between the engines and the shafting, so the disposal of diesel engine is flexible. When the ship is sailing at full speed, it needs four engines running. When the ship is sailing at half speed, it require two engines running. While the ship is operating at about 30 % of full speed, one engine is enough to meet its power requirement. That is, the ship can be operated with single engine, double engines, or four engines according the load condition. Generally, when the ship is sailing at sea speed, it has four engines running, while it approaches the wharf, it has two.
6. Look at the illustration and say something about the structure of the main engine. The structure of the main engine is as follows: the construction mainly include bedplate, frame, cylinders, pistons, connecting rod, main bearing and crankshaft. The crankshaft rests in main bearings built into cross girders of the bedplate. On the top of A frames there is a scavenging air box. The bedplate, frames and cylinder blocks are secured together by long tie-rods. A piston consists of a lower part called piston skirt and an upper part called piston crown.
7. Look at the illustration and say something about the stress status of the moving parts. The moving parts shown in the illustration mainly include the piston, the connecting rod, and the crankshaft. These are all critical parts of the engine. According to the specific condition shown in the picture, the piston is under compression force, the connecting rod is under tension stress and compression force, while the crankshaft is under the torsion forces.
8. Look at the illustration and say something about the type of the piston shape in the diesel engine
Pistons can be divided into two main classes: the crosshead type pistons and the trunk type pistons. The top surface of the crosshead piston can be flat, sunken or convex. The piston shown in the illustration is the crosshead type piston with a sunken surface. It has the advantage of increasing the air turbulence and improving the oil/air mixing quality. Its disadvantage is that the cylinder volumetric clearance will be larger.
9. Look at the illustration and say something about the types of piston ring.
The piston rings shown in the illustration has the shape of rectangle or trapezoid. Some of them are rounded on the external top or bottom edges. Among these piston rings, No.1 and No.2 are sealing rings, No. 3 and No. 4 are scraper rings, while the No.5 is a distributor ring. Generally, each piston is provided with five or six piston rings. 10. Please describe the lubricating mode of main engine
Large marine diesel engines of crosshead construction generally have two systems of lubrication: a totally loss system feeding the cylinders and a circulating system lubricating the running gear and cooling the pistons. Oil is supplied to the cylinder liner wall and piston rings by means of mechanical lubricators. The lube oil to the various moving parts enables the formation of an oil film which reduces friction and wear.
11. Talking about the working principle of purifier according to the picture given The removal of impurities and water from fuel oil and lub oil is very important for the good working conditions of the engine. This is achieved by the centrifugal purifier. When the fuel is pumped into an operating centrifuge the centrifugal force generated causes the heavier fractions(部分) such as sludge and water to be forced along the underside of the discs to the outer periphery. A cylindrical interface is
formed between the heavier fractions (water) and the lighter fractions (oil). The lighter fraction is forced inward and up to the clean oil outlet. The impurities can be collected in the bowel, sludge space, or in some design discharged at regular interval to a sludge tank.
12、Talk about the working principle of oily water separator according to the picture given.
The principle of the oily water separator is as follows: small oil droplets in the water coalesce and form larger oil drops. When the oil drops become large enough, the lower density oil drops floats up and collects at the top of the vessel. The water remains at the lower portion and is pumped overboard. The oil layer is pumped into an oily bilge tank.
13、Talk about the anti-pollution equipment on board ship.
There usually are some anti-pollution equipments on board the ship, they are oily water separator, incinerator and sewage treating system. Oily water separators are used to ensure that ships do not discharge the oil when pumping out bilge water, or oily water. The incinerators are used to burn the oil sludge and solid waste. And sewage treatment plants are used to treat the sewage water the whole ship produced. All these equipment perform their duties to prevent pollutions from ship to the sea. 14、Talk about the operation of the ballast system.
The ballast system is arranged to ensure that water can be drawn from any tank or the sea and discharged to any other tank or the sea as required to trim the vessel. Combined or separate mains for suction and discharge may be provided. The system must therefore be arranged so that only the proper pipeline is in service the other must be securely blanked or closed off. The automatic filling of any tank may be obtained by opening the valve of sea water main connected to the relative valves. Usually the ballast pump is a centrifugal pump, so it must be operated according to the requirement.
15、Talk about the operation of the bilge system.
The operation of the bilge system is an import routine work, which needs great care. the following procedure must be strictly observed: (1) discharge the bilge tanks one by one;
(2) open and close the relevant valves when changing over to another tank according to the operation procedure;
(3) stop pumping out when the bilge tank is nearly empty; (4) pay attention to the filters and mud boxes to ensure no clogging;
(5) the discharge must meet the relative legislative requirement; (6)The operation must be recorded and reported to C/E.
The duty engineer should discharge the bilges before handing over a watch. And the relief engineer should check the bilge level when taking over a watch.
第三章
1．Communication with officers
In order to ensure the safe navigation of the ship, frequent communication between the engineers and officers is necessary. The usual means of communication is by telephone and telegraph. If the communication between the engine room and the bridge fails, the ship will be endangered. The records of communication should be maintained which will provide evidence in the event of an accident at sea. Noon report is also a good means of communication between the engine room and the bridge.
2 Noon report.
Noon report is one of the items which must be recorded every day. It is a table. Record daily performance data, remarks from chief engineer and working hours of the main engine and auxiliary engines, Such as the total revolutions and average rpm of M. E. between noons, the speed of the ship, the distance of the ship has made and the distance still remains to the next port, and of course the ETA, which can be calculated according to the present speed. 3. Take over an engineering watch.
Taking over the watch is a very important procedure in watch keeping. The relieving engineer should arrive at the engine room fifteen minutes early. He should check the operation and condition of the steering gear, the main engine, the auxiliary engines, boilers and other important equipments and systems. He should also check the storage of daily service oils and water. If there is any problem, such as equipment failure, the relieving engineer should be told what has been done, any unfinished work, information from the bridge and so on.
4. Hand over watch
At the completion of the watch each member should hand to his relief, ensuring that he is competent to take over and carry out his duties effectively. If there is any problem,

Stop the main engine oil booster pump, main sea water pump and camshaft oil pump. Let other pumps run continuously for about one hour, then stop them. Shut off the main starting air valve and starting air reservoir valve. Open the indicator cocks and drain cocks of scavenging chamber. Engage the turning gear, turn the main engine for 20 minutes. 9. Talk about steering gear testing.
Prior to a ship’s departure from any port, the steering gear should be tested to ensure satisfactory operation. These tests should be operation of the main steering gear and auxiliary steering gear; operation of the remote control system or systems from the main bridge steering position, checking the rudder angle reading, checking the alarms concerned and so on. During the test, the rudder should be moved through its full travel in both directions and the various equipments visually inspected for damage or wear.
10. Actions to be taken before and after the trial of main engine for the duty engineer.
Before the trial of the main engine, the duty engineer should: 1) Communicate with the bridge
