21、e lube oil meets the stipulated standards in viscosity, TBN (total base number), flash point, water contents, mechanic impurities etc. If impurities (i.e. metals) are found, it means something wrong with the bearing and crankshaft. If the viscosity is lower than the standard, it may mean that fuel o

22、il may have leaked into the lube oil system. Too much fuel oil in the lube oil system can lower the flash point of the lube and also may lead to possible explosion. The important figure is TBN. If the TBN is lower than the standard, it means the loss of the anti-acid ability and this will lead to th

58、nd engine room(8)   Make some other preparations according to “prepare for arrival port check list”According to USCG regulations, the main engine test must be carried out within 12 hours before arrivalEmergency generator and emergency steering gear test must be carried out within 48 hours

59、before arrival.尽管各个公司的SMS手册对此项工作有不同的规定，但可能是大同小异。21.  How would you balance your engine after taking power diagram? What is the use of VIT?This is done by adjustment of the individual pump rocks (on fuel injection pump). It is usually carried out after careful analysis of the results of the

60、 power diagram (indicator cards) wherein we can decide which units need adjustment. Exhaust temperatures have to be carefully monitored since this will nearly 7 indicate the Pmax condition. Pump rack scale should be limited to within 3 mm deviation. If after adjustment and results are negative, comp

61、onent such as piston ring, fuel injection pump, exhaust valves, etc., have to be inspected at first opportunity.VIT or Variable Injection Timing is a device further incorporated on fuel injection pump to automatically adjust Pmax by changing the position of the pump barrel (changes the pump timing),

62、 which in turn control the amount of fuel delivered. It is usually advantageous during rough weather condition where abrupt load changes occur and so proper load distributions among cylinders are maintained.22.  Are you familiar with the following engine overhauling work: main engine overhaul, turbo charger overhaul, main bearing and crankpin bearing overhaul, and safety equipment survey? Before overhauling work is done, what preparations should you make?I am very familiar with the overhauling work of the engines mentioned above.In every machinery o
