    The document summarizes issues with erratic temperature readings from the main engine and the corrective actions taken. Sensors for scavenging air, piston cooling oil, and jacket cooling water temperatures were showing incorrect readings, slowing the engine. Exposed and deteriorating wires were found, along with PT100 sensors that only had two terminals connected instead of three. Insulation was added to exposed wires and three-wire terminals were reconnected. This resolved the nonlinear resistance causing erratic readings from damaged wires potentially touching during voyages. The repairs resulted in more stable and accurate temperature readings from the main engine.

    Temperature Readings for Main Engine

    Marvin D. Rabi Electro Cadet Batch 16

    Problems
    Encountered

    erratic readings for Scavenging air temperature, Piston Cooling Oil temperature, and Jacket cooling water temperature. These readings cause slowdown of main engine.

    Corrective Actions
    Checking

    of resistance bulbs for the components. Encountered brittle wires which have wires exposed and their insulation deteriorating. Also there was a number of PT 100 sensors found to have only 2 terminals connected and the third one was also put to the second terminal.

    Exposed Wires and Deteriorating Insulation

    Two Wires Connected to Three Terminals

    Putting of Insulation for Exposed Wires

    Reconnection of Three-Wire Terminals

    Connection Diagram for Piston Cooling Oil

    Result

    The jumper or the wires that have been connected together caused the resistance bulb to have a nonlinear way of increase in temperature that caused the erratic readings. Same can be explained to the exposed wires that may have been touching each other during voyages. After the repair the readings have become more stable and accurate than before.

    Thank you very much!
