Question 1

On a MODU main diesel engine, what is the primary purpose of fuel injection timing?

To set lube-oil pressure delivered to the main bearings To set the crank angle at which fuel begins to burn so combustion peaks shortly after top dead center To regulate the volume of scavenge air delivered to the cylinder To control jacket-water outlet temperature

Correct Answer:

To set the crank angle at which fuel begins to burn so combustion peaks shortly after top dead center

Question 2

A MODU diesel will not roll on starting air even though bottle pressure is normal and the air-start distributor appears to work. The most likely cause is that the:

Cooling-water expansion tank is low Turning (jacking) gear is still engaged Fuel viscosity is too high for the day-tank heater setting Crankcase oil level is slightly above the high mark

Correct Answer:

Turning (jacking) gear is still engaged

Question 3

Crankcase explosion relief valves on a large diesel are designed to:

Vent continuously so the crankcase is held under vacuum in normal running Relieve the pressure rise of a primary explosion and then reseat quickly so fresh air is not drawn back in Admit outside air to cool an overheating bearing Return crankcase oil to the sump tank when the level runs high

Correct Answer:

Relieve the pressure rise of a primary explosion and then reseat quickly so fresh air is not drawn back in

Question 4

What is the chief function of scavenging in a two-stroke-cycle diesel?

To remove burned gases and replace them with fresh air To cool the injector tip between firings To circulate lube oil to the wrist pin To inject fuel at the correct time

Correct Answer:

To remove burned gases and replace them with fresh air

Question 5

A marine diesel governor is best described as a device that:

Limits maximum cylinder firing pressure by design only Times exhaust-valve opening Automatically adjusts fuel rack position to hold set speed under changing load Controls jacket cooling-water temperature

Correct Answer:

Automatically adjusts fuel rack position to hold set speed under changing load
