59.Type of engines u sailed . Man b&w 6s50mc single acting, vertical , crosshead type,
uniflow scavenging , constant pressure turbocharged disel engine. With Mcr n Ncr ratings
, ended with sfoc of my engine. (Its better to say this much as soon as he ask type of
engine).
60.Surging
61.Strated with practical definition of reversal of flow of air due to restrictions in air/gas
passage etc., he was not convinced. Then said the definition which is on devan aranha
book with pressure ration n mass flow.. still he wants more. I stated abt surgine line
graph. But still he wants me to tell more abt what is surging. (Dono what he expects)
62.Components of air side in t/c. Strtd with filter, silencer, inducer, impeller , diffuser..
stopped and asked. Inducer n diffuser function. (Inducer to guide the air to the impeller to
avoid entry loss. Diffuser to convert velocity to pressure energy. He wants how it s done
on diffuser, said abt bernouli principle.
63.How vibrations are minimised in t/c? Binding wire in blades, in ball bearing type
damping springs provides on top n sides of bearing. In sleeve type hydro dynamic
lubrication itself dampens it, but he want more in sleeve type. I couldn tell. (Later found a
notes that air is given at the backside of the turbine blade from the comp side )
64.How botton end bearing lubricated ? Said from tels pipe, xhead, con rod then comes to
bottom half of the shell. He wanted exact location of entry (it is through side holes in
upper shell. Wants to know ant tangential run n bore relief in the shell)
65.Back pressure valve in reefer. Strtd with , it ll be in veg room to maintain more pressure
in the evaporator line of the veg room coz bef room doesnt need tht much low
refrigerant like meat room, so y increasing the back pressure, refrigerant is made to stay
longer in the evaporator. Then he asked what expansion vlv is dng? Said it jus maintains
the superheat condition at evaporator outlet not the pressure.
66.What pressure u set the blr safety valve? Said 103% of working pressure. He asked abt
design pressure. Expected Factor of safety. Said it is uts/working stress. Convinced him
that safety vlv is not set according to design pressure . Then He said “ u need to tell
maximum working pressure” . He expects that word “maximum”
