$1__VE_ITEM__11 tell us briefly about the working principles of the purifier ,the oil water seperator and air compressor . Purifier :the different gravity of two types of liquids: water and oil .the centrifugal force of the water move towards the ou tside of the disc while the oil ,which is smaller in

gravity shall move toward the center of the disc .this makes the seperation of the two liquids .

Oil water separator : (1) pump bilge water into first chamber :polymerization of the oil on the gathering plates ,(2) and then through a fine filter (15ppm) separation of water and oil ,(3)discharge of the water overboard via 15ppm monitor and the o il into oil sludge tank .

Air compressor :take into the air from the

outside atmosphere and compress it with the up going piston .then ,cool the compressed air .then compress the air once ag ain until it reaches the stated pressure (depending on the air bottle allowed pressure )

For the maintenance of the air compressor ,fistly ,must check to make sure that the suction valve and outlet valve to be sealed ;then make periodical lifting of the piston to make the pistons are in good condition .must check the crankcance lub e oil everyday .

14 .why do you need to take the lube oil sample for analysis ? in the analyzing , what can you possibly find ?and if you find these substances ,what are the possible problems the engines may have ?why ?

At least ,every three months ..by analyzing the samples

of the lube oil ,I can find such things as metal dust ,viscosity ,and other

impurities ,this is preventive

measures in engine maintenance ..for example ,if I find metal (aluminum ,copper etc )inside the lube oil ,maybe something wrong with the engine and part of the engine is broken .

$1__VE_ITEM__15 .how to operate incinerator ? what kind of garbage can not be thrown into incinerator ?

First ,check the oil level in the sludge oil tank ,open residue cock and discharge oily water ;heating the

sludge oil in the tank up to 90 cent igrade ;start the incinerator .in the beginning ,combustion sludge oil with with diesel

oil ,and after the water content in sludge oil is comparatively low ,stop supplying diesel oil and use sludge oil only .atte ntion :the temperature in combustion cannot be higher than the stipulated figures of the incinerator (usually not more than 1200 degree in centigrade )

The following garbage cannot be thrown into the incinerator :

(1) any containers which have contained gases under pressure ,or aerosol cans into the incinerator .

(2) the materials that may produce harmful gases or ashes .

(3) the materials that may produce high temperature and prolonged incineration of such materials that may cause damage to the incinerator .

16 .when you do the watch keeping in the engine room ,what should you be careful about ?

I should take close watch on the fuel oil and lubricating oil condition to notice any possible problems arising from abn ormal temperature ,,leakage ,or some other problems ;

if hearing is seeing abnormal noises for machines ,I should make a quick judgement and report them to C/E or even maste r I myself cannot deal with it ,obey the rules of the company and the instruction from C/E and master and some warnin g from the deck department .l

17 when do you have call the chief engineer to the engine room ?
