Motor
1) The difference between the mc and mc-c engine.

The last ‘C’ in MC-C stands for ‘COMPACT’. So all the improvements in the new design are
targeted to achieve reduction in weight and cost of the engine, at the same time improving or
maintaining the overall efficiency. Major design improvements of MC-C engines over MC
engines are the following:
1. Increased power to weight ratio.
2. Increased mean effective pressure for same bore engines at same speed.
3. All large diameter bearings are made of thin-walled bearings.
4. A simple cross head pin structure with reduced size and weight.
5. The introduction of reduced diameter twin tie bolts.
6. Bottom end of the tie rods threaded to the transverse girder of bed plate and hence reduction
in material.
7. Reduced edge pressure of the main bearing.
8. Simplified main bearing casting.
9. High piston top land. It ensures the top piston ring is not exposed to high combustion
chamber temperatures. Along with high top land, CPR (controlled pressure relief) piston rings
are used to reduce the pressure drop across the ring and hence prevention of piston ring
collapse.
10. Reduced height of the cylinder block and the cylinder cam box.
11. Due to the reduced mass of the moving parts the second-order moment decreased by about
8%, improving the vibration condition.
12. A simplified frame structure makes it easier to weld.
13. Holding down bolts in a sunken structure to make compact design.
2) The difference between filter and strainer.
The filter is a fine mesh screen which is used to remove impurities from oil, water, and air on the
ship. Filters are mounted in pairs as a duplex system so that one can be used and other is kept
on standby at a time. The filter can be utilized both in low pressure (suction) and discharge (high
pressure) side of the system and is used to remove the smallest part of dirt which is carried
away in the system. The cleaning frequency of filters depends on the type of the filter and is
decided by the manufacturer. The schedule is generally included in the planned maintenance
system on board.
The strainer is a type of filter used mostly on low pressure or suction side and is used to remove
large contamination particles from the system. It is because the mesh screen openings in the
strainer are bigger in size and are similar to those of coarse filter. If the suction condition is
critical, then the strainer can be fitted on the discharge side. It will
purely depend upon the make and recommendation of the manufacturer. Usually, strainers are
cleaned whenever they are opened up or when the pressure drop on the filter side is high.
3) what is starting air overlapping in the engine and it's significance.
Start Air Period
It is the minimum cranking period plus an overlap period to provide sufficient starting torque to
start the engine in any direction at any position. It depends on the exhaust valve opening, as the
start air should shut before the exhaust valve opens, or else the pressurized compressed
starting air is wasted as it will just be blown out of the unit through the exhaust valve. In 2-stroke
pulse turbocharged engines, the exhaust valve normally opens at 65 degrees before BDC or
115 degrees after TDC. This gives a maximum starting air angle of 115 degrees.
Overlap
Overlap is a period when two (or more) cylinder units are receiving starting air, where one unit is
‘phasing out’ while the other is ‘phasing into’ the start air period. It is essential to satisfy the
requirement that
the engine be started in any crank position. Overlap is reduced in case there are more number
of cylinder unite, but necessary for engines with less units to assist the starting torque for
cranking. Overlap ensures that at every crank angle position, there is sufficient air turning
moment to enable positive starting. It depends on the start air period, exhaust
timings and the number of cylinders.
4) What are the non destructive test?
5) Explain the dye penetrate test in details. (Cross question like the cleaning process is
called??& many questions)
Liquid Penetrant Testing/Die Penetrant Test (surface flows)
It consists of a cleaner, penetrant and developer. When applied it goes into the surface cracks
highlighting the visible cracks/breaks present in the structure.
Procedure
(1) Pre-clean the test – piece so that rust can be removed with the help of cleanser.
(2) Apply penetrant (i.e., Red Color low viscosity oil). As penetrant have high surface wetting
capability, it penetrates into the defects and cracks.
(3) After several minutes of dwell time, rinse the surface with water to remove penetrant from
the
surface and leave it into the cracks.
(4) After drying the test – piece, apply the developer (fine grain white powder suspended in
liquid) it will form an even coating on the surface which after drying draws penetrant from the
cracks out onto the surface. Now, location of the cracks can easily be found i.e., on the surface.

Superlong Stroke Significance
ADVANTAGES OF SUPERLONG STROKE
1. Large diameter propeller can be used as superlong stroke provide slow rpm and hence
propeller efficiency increases.
2. Low grade of fuel can be used. Superlong stroke avails more time for combustion.
3. Better scavenging take place.
4. More time available for the heat dissipation to cool down the water.
5. Power to volume ratio is reduced.
6. Reduced fouling, smoking, NOx, exhaust temperature.
7. Thermal efficiency is increased ): an engine with larger S-B ratio have less surface area
exposed to C.C gases as compared to short S-B ratio.
Ignition delay reasons & effects - Cross questions
Ignition delay o r lag : It is the time delay between the start of injection and the start of
combustion. Factors affecting ignition delay are a rise in scavenge air or cooling water
temperatures, retarded fuel injection timing, ignition quality o f fuel, low load and low speeds.

Back pressure valve ( Veg Room)
It is always fitted where the refrigerant flow is less needed (i.e., in veg room). It is a kind of the
spring loaded non return valve. Since, outlet is distributed in all three rooms which are
connected to the same return line (i.e., common); the refrigerant tends to move inside the
evaporator coil (veg room) i.e., towards low pressure side. To avoid such circumstances, back
pressure valve is fitted.
Back pressure valve is suitable for slow cooling.
Air in refer system how to remove it
1. First do pump down
2. Close the king valve that is positioned after condenser
3. Compressor will trip on low pressure cut out and all refrigerant come under receiver
4. Bypass low pressure cut out and start compressor manually. So, that all line refrigerant come
in the condenser.
5. Stop the compressor. Hence, pump down gets completed.
6. Keep cooling water (CW) running and after sometime, CW in = CW out
This means that refrigerant temperature = CW in = CW out

After this observe the chart and check values whether saturation temperature and saturation
pressure are same according to the pressure on the HP (pressure gauge).

Case 1
If the pressure on the gauge is same as given on the chart. It corresponds to the refrigerant
temperature
or CW in or CW out
temperature. This signifies that air from the system has been removed completely.
Case 2
If pressure on the gauge is more than as on the chart. It corresponds to the refrigerant
temperature or CW in or CW out . This signifies that there is some air inside the condenser.
Therefore, we bring the pressure on the gauge which corresponds to respective pressure value
in the chart by slightly opening the vent. Hence, air is passed out from the system.
Centrifugal pump clearance after overhauling
To allow the impeller to rotate freely within the pump Casing, a small clearance is designed to
be maintained between the impeller and the pump casing. Wearing rings are replaceable rings
that are attached to the impeller and/or the pump casing a small running clearance
Clearance = (Inside diameter — Outside diameter)/2
Impeller clearance
You have removed piston , all clearances. How to take butt clearnace
Axial Clearance: feelear gauge
Radial Clearance: vernier caliper (groove depth, ring width
Butt Clearance: impression can be taken on a paper by applying Prussian blue paste at the
butt ends. The gap between the impressions can then be measured
CPR ring: The controlled pressure relief ring is fitted in the MAN piston as a top ring.
The CPR ring has “S” shaped butt joint with six controlled pressure relief grooves milled across
the face. Measure the radial depth of the grooves butt clearance at the S joint

What is cavitation
At any point in the liquid pressure drop below the vapour pressure of the liquid corressponding
to the temperature of the liquid, bubble start forming which is called cavitation.

Tell me about ALCAP purifier

The Alfa-Laval design of centrifuge intended for dealing with high density residual fuels, is a
self-sludging machine which has a flow control disc that makes it virtually a clarifier. There are
no gravity discs to be changed to make the machine suitable for fuels of different specific
gravity/density. The system is said to be capable of handling fuels with densities as high as
1010 kg/m3 at 15°C.
Heating is used to reduce the density (and viscosity) of the fuel so that water and sludge
accumulate in the outer part of the bowl, as the result of the centrifugal effect. As the interface
moves inwards, but before reaching the disc stack, water droplets flow through to reach a water
sensing transducer. Via micro-processor circuitry, the transducer causes the bowl to self-sludge
or the water to be discharged through the water drain valve.
Laybrinth seal, how does it separate oil and exhaust in the turbocharger
Labyrinth seal — the purpose of the labyrinth seal is to make sure that exhaust should not go to
the oil side and one air sealing Connection is also provided just to give the cooling and to
maintain the positive pressure so that exhaust should not come to the oil side under any
circumstances

Welding sheild glass number and types

The shade number of a welding shield glass indicates the level of protection it offers from light
radiation. The higher the shade number, the darker the lens and the less light that can pass
through. The shade range typically goes from 4 to 14, but the right shade depends on the type
of welding being done
