At the end of bilge pipes a rose box or strainer is connected. Bilge may be in the form drains from drains from engine or leak from leaking pipes or from damaged or wasted shell plate. 38

Every ship is supposed to be equipped with following pumps: 2-bilge pumps in the engine room. 1-direct bilge injection pump (may be Ballast or Main seawater pump) 1-Emergency bilge pumps out of the engine room. Billing Process: 1. Open the bilge line for the section from where bilge is to be pumped out. 2. Open the bilge pump discharge valve. 3. Open sea suction valve for bilge pump. 4. Close the sea suction valve & open pumps bilge valve. Once the bilge has been pumped out wash the pump with seawater. Ballast System: Every ship is equipped with two ballast pumps. The ships ballast tanks are filled to trim the ship. When the ship is in ballast specially to immerse the propeller to obtain maximum speed of the ship. Ballasting system consists of. 1. Ballast tanks, which may be fore peak tank, deep tanks, double bottom tanks or wing tanks. 2. Centrifugal pump with an air extractor. 3. Pipes and valves.

compressed air is used to start the main engine, generator engine, to blow ships whistle, to operate pneumatic control system and low pressure line for general use. 2) Sewage Plant: Collect all the return of bathrooms, toilets and galley, where water is chemically treated and pumped over board to eliminate pollution of sea water. Oily Water Separator Separates oil from bilge water to be pumped overboard the water allowed to be pumped out should not contain oil contents more than 15 ppm (parts per million). Purifier: It is a hollow cylindrical container which rotates at high speed and is electric motor driven are used to separate the dissolved matter in fuel oil, Diesel oil, or Lubricating oils. Boiler: The marine boiler is a pressure vessel. It is used to produce steam which is used to heat up the cooling system of the engine for starting and supply hot air to accommodation in cold climate. Bilge Pump: Bilge pump is an electric motor driven two stage centrifugal pumps, with air extractor, to pump out the bilge from engine room, tunnel and holds. It takes suction from sea or bilge wells and delivers direct overboard in case of clean water or through oily water separator if bilge is polluted by oil. General Services (G.S.) Pump: Electric motor drive two stage centrifugal pump with air extractor to deal with bilge water, ballast water, to supply salt water to deck and fire line. Blowers: Usually three or more electric drive fans or blowers are installed to supply fresh air to engine room. Fresh Water Generator: It produces fresh water from sea water, single stage Flash evaporator is used on motor ships, it works with vacuum on shell and produces 10 to 25 tons of fresh water per day this fresh water is passed through filters and liquid chlorine is added so that water can be used for domestic purposes.

How will you start the main engine? Check that main engine cooling system and lubricating system are in working order. Check the staring air pressure. Warming is done by heating the cooling system by hot water to about 70*C which is circulated around engine (cylinder jacket, cylinder head etc. Heavy oil. Fuel valves, pipes, lines are also warmed up. Engine is driven for few revolutions by air kicks from compresses air bottle at 20-40 bars. When attains sufficient speed and valves are brought into operation, starting air valves are closed. The speed of engine is controlled by varying the quantity of fuel injected to the cylinders. Describe Electro-Hydraulic steering gear and its working? Steering gear has two main parts. Telemotor: The telemotor system is a remote control of the steering gear by hydraulic transmission, situated on the bridge. The bridge steering wheel is connected to a transmitting hydraulic cylinder which is connected at its two ends to the two ends of a receiving cylinder near the main steering gear. Steering Gear: It consists of the hydraulic rams situated on port and starboard side of the tiller, linked at their outer ends to the tiller by a crosshead and swivel block. Each ram works inside hydraulic cylinders which are connected by pipes to a hydraulic pump. The pump draw oil from one cylinder and pump it (at high pressure) to the other, thus causing one ram to move out and other to move in the cylinder causing tiller to move to starboard or to port. How will you steer the vessel from steering flat (emergency steering)? If due to some fault telemotor on the bridge does not work properly. Vessel can be steered from the steering flat. A steering wheel is given in the steering flat for emergency steering and arrangements are also given which disconnect the telemotor from steering gear and connect it to the emergency steering wheel.
