Getting to Know the Ship - The Engine Room
Read the dialogue and understand it in every detail.
1/Eng: Here's your new workplace, The Persian Adventure's Engine Room.
Santos: Oh, the engine is huge! The room is bigger, brighter, and quieter than I thought.
1/Eng: It isn't very noisy at port, but it becomes quite noisy at sea. So be sure to wear earplugs when you work in here. It is important to keep the lighting equipment well maintained for safety reasons. Since you are in charge of electricity, you are also responsible for the safety of the workplace.
Santos: My job seems challenging and I'm excited. By the way, did you change the main engine fuel oil from heavy fuel oil to diesel oil before entering port?
1/Eng: We used to do that, but FO valves have improved recently. We can now use heavy fuel oil even while in port. Remember to always keep the FO pump working.
Santos: Where are the cargo pumps? I don't see them.
1/Eng: For safety reasons, they are in the Pump Room in another section. All lights in the Pump Room are gas tight.
Santos: How do you switch pumps?
1/Eng: We use the No. 1 Group when outbound, and the No. 2 Group when inbound. We switch pumps while warming up the engine before we leave port. Santos: Do the two diesel generators run the same way?
1/Eng: The Second Engineer, who is in charge of the diesel generators, adjusts their operating times according to his work plan.
Santos: Does the maintenance plan apply to the main engine and to all of the important auxiliary machines such as the generators, the air compressors, and the boilers?
1/Eng: You got it! Proper maintenance is essential for safe and economical navigation.
