Many large slow speed diesel engines operating on heavy fuel oil have a fuel injection system which features Variable Injection Timing. How does this affect engine operation?
VIT allows the ship's engineers to alter the injection timing for each load setting with a simple single adjustment of the fuel rack.
VIT increases engine efficiency by automatically maintaining the maximum cylinder pressure over the entire load range.
VIT increases engine efficiency by automatically maintaining the maximum cylinder pressure over part of the load range.
VIT improves engine operation by automatically controlling the start of fuel injection when it detects a poor quality fuel.
Why can't we use inert gas from a combustion-type generator when preparing cargo tanks for ammonia?
Because of the high temperature in the inert gas.
Because ammonia reacts with the carbon dioxide in the inert gas.
Because of high water content in the inert gas.
Because of the high oxygen content in the inert gas.
