On a motor or gas turbine vessel, on a simulator, or in a laboratory,
|
the candidate monitors the oil-fired or waste-heat auxiliary boiler.
|
The candidate performs either (A) or (B):
(A) OIL-FIRED AUXILIARY BOILER
- Monitors the steam drum pressure and water level;
- Monitors the feed water pressure;
- Monitors the fuel oil service pump suction and discharge pressures and fuel-oil supply pressure and temperature to the supply header and applicable fuel oil strainer pressure drops;
- Monitors the fuel oil settling/service tank levels and temperatures;
- Strips fuel oil settling tanks of moisture as appropriate;
- Monitors the stack temperature;
- Monitors the atomizing steam pressure as applicable;
- Observes condition of flame through peephole;
- Visually inspects boiler casing, hand holes, manholes, and piping for leaks;
- Promptly wipes up any oil accumulations presenting a fire hazard;
- Notifies the watch engineer of any unusual or unsafe conditions, unusual sounds, or vibrations; and
- Takes proper action to prevent safety and pollution violations. Note: Recorded readings from analog gauges should be +/- 5% of actual, except boiler water level should be +/- 1” of actual.
(B) WASTE HEAT AUXILIARY BOILER
- Monitors the steam drum pressure and water level;
- Monitors the feed water pressure;
- Monitors the feed pump suction and discharge pressures;
- Monitors the feed tank level and temperature;
- Monitors the boiler water circulating pump suction and discharge pressures, as applicable;
- Monitors the exhaust gas inlet temperature
- Monitors the stack temperature;
- Visually inspects boiler casing, hand holes, manholes, and
- piping for leaks;
- Notifies the watch engineer of any unusual or unsafe conditions, unusual sounds, or vibrations; and
- Takes proper action to prevent safety and pollution violations. Note: Recorded readings from analog gauges should be +/- 5% of actual, except boiler water level should be +/- 1” of actual.
