During maintenance of a piston rod stuffing box on a large, slow speed diesel engine it is usual to measure the butt gaps between the sealing ring and scrapper ring segments. What would be the effect of these gaps being too small?
If the gaps are too small the rings could scope the piston rod.
If the gaps are too small they could close due to the radial wear of the rings before the next scheduled overhaul preventing the rings from contacting the piston rod and sealing it.
If the gaps are too small then the flow of scavenge air through the gland would be reduced and the gland would overheat.
If the gaps were too small then no oil could pass up the piston rod to lubricate the sealing rings.
The subject “Engine, Operational, Slow Speed” covers both theoretical and practical aspects of safely working with electrical equipment. Mastery of this material is a direct indicator of an employee’s competence in holding a relevant position aboard a vessel. A sailor in the engine department is responsible for maintaining and adjusting engine components, cooling systems, fuel delivery systems, and other related equipment. They are also tasked with monitoring the operation of all machinery, carrying out regular technical inspections, and performing necessary repairs. When handling a low-speed control system (SU), the sailor ensures precise and safe navigation of the vessel, following the captain’s instructions and navigational charts.
