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.

Differences between MC/MC-C and ME/ME-C engines

The electrohydraulic control mechanisms of the ME engine replace the following components of the conventional MC engine: Chain drive for camshaft Camshaft with fuel cams, exhaust cams and indicator cams Fuel pump actuating gear, including roller guides and reversing mechanism Conventional fuel pressure booster and VIT system Exhaust valve actuating gear and roller guides Engine driven starting air distributor Electronic governor with actuator Regulating shaft Engine side control console Mechanical cylinder lubricators. The Engine Control System of the ME engine comprises: Control units Hydraulic power supply unit Hydraulic cylinder units, including: Electronically controlled fuel injection, and Electronically controlled exhaust valve activation Electronically controlled starting air valves Electronically controlled auxiliary blowers Integrated electronic governor functions Tacho system Electronically controlled Alpha lubricators

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

Why is a man hole door elliptical in shape?

Any opening in a pressure vessel is kept to a minimum and for a man entry an elliptical hole  is lesser in size than the corresponding circular hole. More over it is prime concern to have a  smoothed generous radius at the corners to eliminate stress concentration. Hence other  geometrical shapes like rectangle and square are ruled out.  To compensate for the loss of material in the shell due to opening, a doubler ring has to be  provided around the opening. The thickness of the ring depends on the axis length along the  dirrection in which the stresses are maximum and the thickness of the shell. It is important to  align the minor axis along the length of the vessel, as the stress in this direction is  maximum. Longitudinal stress: Pd/2t where P= pressure inside the vessel, d= diameter of the arc, t=  thickness of the shell plating  Circumferential stress: Pd/4t  More over a considerable material and weight saving is achieved as minor is along the  direction of maximum stress.
