The direct acting mechanical governor used with some small diesel engine, controls fuel flow to the engine by: -governor flyweight action on a pilot valve which controls fuel injection -governor flyweight motion acting on fuel controls through suitable linkage -positioning the butterfly valve in the fuel delivery system -positioning a servomotor piston attached to the fuel controls B 4. Auxiliary diesel engines can be automatically shut down as a result of: -low lube oil pressure -low lube oil temperature -high exhaust temperature -high cooling water pressure A 5. A diesel engine is driving an alternater required to run at 1 800 RPM. Therefore, the overspeed governor will normally be set within a range of: -1980 to 2070 RPM -2100 to 2200 RPM -2200 to 2300 RPM -2300 to 2400 RPM A 6. A propulsion diesel engine, having a maximum continuous output of over 300 HP, and driving a controllable pitch propeller, must be fitted with a separate overspeed device, in addition to the normal governor. This second device is to prevent the engine from exceeding the rated speed by more than: 5% 10-15% 20% 25-30% C 7. An emergency diesel generator should automatically shut down in the event of: -dangerous overspeeding -a loss of lube oil pressure -the activation of the fixed CO2 system for the emergency generator space -all of the above D 8.

Diesel engine control can be obtained by the bridge: -at any time -only after the engine room control station is switched to "bridge control" -whenever the secondary station is switched to "bridge control" -with the approval of the chief engineer only B 28. Sensitivity for a diesel engine governor is described as the: -governor's speed of response to variations in engine load -ability to maintain desired engine speed without speed fluctuation -percent of speed change necessary for corrective action by the fuel control -ability to maintain constant speed regardless of engine load

The principal characteristic of an isochronous governor is it will: -slow the machine down as the load is increased -shut down the engine if it overspeeds -display excessive speed droop -maintain a constant speed with variations of load D 32.

Which of the listed governor operating characteristics is considered to be isochronous? -zero speed droop -positive speed droop -negative speed droop -varying speed droop A 34. To correct a hunting problem in a main propulsion diesel engine hydraulic governor, you should: -increase the governor oil pressure -adjust the speed droop setting -adjust the speeder spring travel -adjust the compensating needle valve D 35. Compensating needle valve adjustments to a hydraulic governor should be made with the engine: -running at normal operating temperature without load -running at half speed and at normal temperature -running at maximum power and load under normal conditions -developing maximum power at normal load A 36. An emergency diesel generator cooling system is equipped with an automotive type of thermostat. If the thermostat bellows loses its charge, the thermostat will: -open, and the coolant temperature will increase -open, and the coolant temperature will decrease -close, and the engine coolant temperature will increase -close, and the coolant temperature will decrease C 37.The major cause of trouble in a machanical-hydraulic governor is contamination of the hydraulic fluid by: -dirt -fuel oil -governor cooling water -fuel oil tars A 38. Governor hunting is caused by:

-governor undercontrol -excessive speed droop -insufficient speed droop -governor overcontrol D 39. Adjustments to the compensating needle valve in a hydraulic governor should be made with the engine at: -maximum power at a normal load -maximum power and load under normal conditions -half speed and normal temperature -normal operating temperature without a load D 40.

Failure of the speeder spring in a machanical governor will: -result in an increase in engine speed -result in a decrease in engine speed -not affect the engine speed -cause the governor to hunt B 45. On a diesel engine equipped with an isochronous governor, if the "speed droop" control is redused to the "zero" setting, the engine: -speed will drop drastically with any increase in load -will stop due to zero fuel supply -will stall upon application of load -speed will remain fairly constant despite load changes D 46. Increasing the load on an engine equipped with a constant speed mechanical governor, will cause the engine speed to initially: -increase -decrease -fluctuate -remain constant B 47. If the speeder spring of a main propulsion diesel engine governor breaks while operating at full load, the engine RPM will: -increase until the overspeed trip actuated -hunt until stabilized by the droop rod -decrease to slightly lower value -remain the same until manually changed

48. How is the diesel engine operating RPM affected when a "ZERO DROOP" setting is selected on the governor? -the RPM will drop to low idle when load is applied -the RPM must be manually controlled by the load limit knob -the governor has no control over RPM in this mode -the RPM wil remain the same with or without load D 49. On a diesel engine equipped with a hydraulic speed control governor, hunting in many cases can be corrected by adjusting the: -accumulator spring compression -balance piston -compensating needle valve -proportional piston C 50. Which of the following adjustments is always required whenever the diesel engine governor oil has been drained and renewed? -speed droop -compensation -idle speed setting -load limit control B 51. The purpose of the compensating adjustment used in a diesel engine hydraulic governor is to: -compensate for low oil level -increase governor promptness -prevent governor hunting -limit engine load C 52.

Where one or more diesel driven AC generators are operating in parallel, reducing the value of the speed droop to "zero" on one unit will allow that unit to: -gradually reduce its speed as load is applied -change load without changing speed -automatically divide and balance the loads -effectively anticipate the amount of fuel necessary to bring the engine up to the proper output to accept the increased load B 55. The temperature at which an adjustable bellows type thermostat valve operates is usually accomplished by: -changing the position of the actuating bulb -replacing the bellows with a heavier one -varying air loading pressure to the bellows -regulating spring compression to oppose the bellows D 56.
