Emergency Generator

It is a small separate generator which supplies the electric power for emergency load in the event of main power supply failure.

It is located outside the main and auxiliary machinery space and not forward of the collusion bulkhead.

It has own switchboard near vicinity.

It is provided with independent means of automatically starting,( by air or battery) to ensure immediate run up following a main power failure and repeated starts of at least 3 times, and
further attempt can be made within the 30 minutes temporary battery life

Adequate and independent supply of fuel with a flash point of not less than 43°C (109.4°F)

Must be able to be started in cold condition up to 0°C (32°F)

For cold weather, JCW system must be treated with anti-freeze agent, and heating arrangement provided.

Emergency generator Maintenance

01) Every Saturday, emergency generator must be tested run

02) Air bottle pressed up or starter battery fully charged, at all-time

03) Changeover the selector switch to local position before starting

04) Make sure breaker switch at ‘off’ position before starting (an interlock between ER Main switchboard breaker and emergency switchboard breaker is provided to prevent simultaneous
closure of both breaker)

05) During testing, check frequency, voltage and ampere

06) Fuel tank, always checked to ensure adequate level

07) Air filter of generator, regularly cleaned

08) Required tools and spares kept in a container

09) Emergency light for this room should be always checked

Difference between Attemperator and De-superheater

Attemperator are fitted in order to keep the steam temperature in the final stages of the superheater within certain desired limits . This is done for two main reasons . 1. The most important is the protection of the superheater tube material from the effects of overheating. *Mild steel superheater tubes tubes should not be subjected to steam temperatures in excess of 455℃. 2. The formation of bonded deposits on superheater tubes can be reduced if steam and gas streams within certain temperature ranges are prevented from coming into contact of each other. De-Superheater is used to reduce the temperature of a quantity of superheated steam and make it suitable for used in auxiliary services requires low temperature or saturated steam . *The reason for doing this way rather than by taking the saturated steam direct from steam drum , is to protect the superheater , these must be protected against overheating under all conditions of load by circulating steam through them . *Al...

Cross and loop scavenging Disadvantage

Cross scavenging Disadvantage 1. It requires longer  piston skirt to prevent exhaust gas and air leaks from the ports when piston is at TDC . Loop scavenging Disadvantage 1. Both exhaust port and scavenge port are at the adjacent side of the liner which causes temperature differential problem for the liner material . Hence , we are using mostly the uniflow scavenging which is having very lesser mixing and better scavenging efficiency. Source : DA Taylor
