UNIT I SAFE WATCH KEEPING
Definition of watch, operating principles, requirements of watch keeping, requirements of certification, duties of engineer officers – operation of engine room in general, log book writing – watch keeping under way – watch keeping at port – at unsheltered anchorage, fitness for duty, preparation of Diesel Engines for a long voyage – bad weather precautions, safe working practices – during overhauling at port, and during bad weather, change over from diesel oil to heavy oil and vice versa. Trouble shooting during watch keeping: Emergency measures taken in case of –flooding of engine room, engine room bilge fire, general fire, In case of any system failure or breakage of pipe lines, etc.
UNIT II TROUBLE SHOOTING IN AUXILIARY MACHINERIES
Malfunctioning, partial or total failure of auxiliary machineries – such as, auxiliary engines, purifiers, heat exchangers, air compressors, reefer and air conditioning compressors and systems, boilers and accessories, fresh water generators, hydrophore tanks and systems, all pumps & systems. Repairs and maintenance of propeller, rudder, dry-docking methods, dry-docking inspection and repair works.
UNIT III TROUBLE SHOOTING IN MAIN ENGINE
Trouble shooting related to various types of marine diesel engines and condition monitoring – causes, effects, remedies and prevention of engine not turning on Air and Fuel, knocking at TDC and BDC, black smoke in funnel, poor compression and combustion, early or advanced injection, turbocharger surging, scavenge fire, Air starting line explosion, crank case explosion, exhaust uptake fire, failure of bottom end bolts.
UNIT IV MAINTENANCE OF ENGINE COMPONENTS
Checking of holding down bolts, resin chocking – Tie-rods tensioning, checking and tightening of 2-stroke and 4-stroke bottom end bolts. Inspection and maintenance of crankshaft and cam shaft, dismantle inspection and reassemble of main bearings, cross head bearings & bottom end bearings, connecting rod, piston and piston assembly, stuffing box, cylinder head and all mountings, governor and over speed trip – checking of all clearances, adjustments, effect of improper clearances, prevention and rectification. Cylinder liner and cylinder lubrication, thrust bearing, running gears inspection, engine alignment, chains drive adjustment and tensioning.
UNIT V TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE OF ELECTRICAL MACHINERIES
