Calliberation of DP transmitter

The DP cell can be calibrated in place by using a pressure calibrator and Digital multimeter
which can measure less than 30 mA precisely.

Procedure:
Break the current signal loop and connect the multi meter by observing the correct polarity at ammeter range, suitable for measuring 4-20 mA precisely. Disconnect the high pressure side and low pressure side connections after isolating the DP Cell. Now the current on the meter display should read 4 mA. Connect the pressure calibrator to high pressure side and low pressure side to remain open to atmosphere. Slowly press up the calibrator to the DP Cell’s maximum differential pressure range by taking care not to overshoot the pressure. At this pressure, the meter should read the current as 20 mA.

Offset Adjustments:
 When both the sides are vented at atmospheric pressure, the meter should
read 4 mA. If there is any offset, adjust the zero adjusting potentiometer with a small screw driver. After adjusting zero, press up the calibrator to maximum range and if the meter is reading more or less than 20 mA, then turn the span adjusting screw slowly to read this pressure as 20 mA. Whenever span is adjusted the zero also will be shifted little. So zero checking and correction again has to perform. Similarly the span checking and fine adjustment has to perform again. This zero,span checking and adjustments to do again until an acceptable accuracy achieved. Once the zero and span has been set, the linearity of the transducer has to be checked in minimum 4 steps, say at 25%,50%,75% and 100%. The linearity can be checked with more steps for better accuracy. The same way, hysterysis of the transducer also has to be checked in steps.

Manganese bronze is not typically used as a propeller material .Why

1. High cost: Manganese bronze is a costly alloy, making it less economical for large propellers. 2. Low strength-to-weight ratio: Compared to other propeller materials like nickel-aluminum bronze or stainless steel, manganese bronze has a lower strength-to-weight ratio. 3. Susceptible to corrosion: Manganese bronze can corrode in seawater, especially when exposed to high velocities and turbulence. 4. Poor cavitation resistance: Manganese bronze is more prone to cavitation damage than other materials. 5. Difficult to cast and machine: Manganese bronze is challenging to cast and machine, making it less desirable for complex propeller geometries. 6. Limited weldability: Manganese bronze has poor weldability, making repairs and modifications difficult. Nickel-aluminum bronze or stainless steel are commonly used for propellers due to their: - High strength and durability - Excellent corrosion resistance - Good cavitation resistance - Ease of casting and machining - Weldability

MAN B&W MC Engine VIT Pump

The pump is basically a jerk type with a plunger moving in a matched barrel, using two helical grooves machined in the plunger to control the end of injection by uncovering spill ports and causing the discharge pressure to drop rapidly, thus causing the needle valve in the injector to close. Oil is supplied to the barrel via the spill ports and a suction valve. The suction valve, situated at the top of the barrel opens when the pressure in the  barrel falls below the supply pump pressure; i.e. during downward stroke of plunger, while spill ports are covered by plunger. Replaceable erosion plugs  are fitted in the pump housing opposite the spill ports. The high pressure oil, spilling back, as the edge of the helix uncovers the s...

Main engine interlocks

Interlocks are provided so that the engine can be started or reversed only when certain conditions have been fulfilled. When there is a remote control of engines, it is essential to have interlocks. This reduces the possibility of engine damage and any hazards to the operating personnel. Turning gear Interlock . This device prevents the engine from being started if the Turning gear is engaged. Running Direction Interlock . This prevents the fuel from being supplied if the running direction of the engine does not match the Telegraph. Starting Air Distributor in end position . This prevents starting from taking place if the shifting of the Distributor has not been completed. Main Lube. oil pressure, Piston cooling pressure, Jacket water pressure, and important parameters must be above the required minimum. Auxiliary Blower Interlock . The Auxiliary Blower is provided in case of Constant pressure turbo charging. Air Spring pressure Interlock . In case of the present generation...
