precautions involved in running with Sulzer RT flex

1.   What are the precautions involved in running with RT flex

    Reliability and safety has the utmost priority in the common rail RT-flex system.

v  The duplicated high-pressure delivery pipes have stop cocks at both ends to isolate any failed pipe. Each single pipe is adequate for the full delivery. All high pressure pipes are double-walled for safety.

v  Every injection nozzle is independently monitored and controlled by the WECS. In case of difficulties, such as a broken high pressure line or a malfunctioning injector, the affected injection valve can be cut out individually without losing the entire cylinder.

v  If the stroke measuring sensor fails, the WECS system switches the ICU to a pure time control and triggers the signal based on the timing of the neighbouring cylinders.

What is the Rocking Test?

It is a test which is carried out to find, wear down of the
sleeve bearing of the deck crane on ships.

this measures the play (or relative movement) between the inner 
 and outer bearing race, to give an indication of the wear taking place.

(Wear down of the sleeve bearing can be found by analysing the grease sample.
The metal content  of the sample may give indication of wear down.)

The Rocking Test need to be carried out according to manufacturer 
recommendation

Measurements are typically taken in four positions on 
the slew bearing, with the jib pointing:

• forward to the ship
• starboard
• aft 
• port side.

Neither a load nor any cargo handling equipment should be attached to the hook.
It is important for the same positions to be marked as a datum reference..
