Ship Purifier System Quiz

What is the primary function of a purifier onboard a ship?

• To store clean oil

• To separate oil from water using centrifugal force

• To increase fuel viscosity

• To cool down engine components

Which component supplies the oily water mixture into the purifier?

• Feed Pump

• Temperature Controller

• Transducer

• Brake

What role does the disk stack play in the separation process?

• Reduces the pressure inside the purifier

• Provides additional surface area for efficient separation

• Heats the oil before entering the purifier

• Stores sludge after separation

The oil heater in a purifier system is used to:

• Cool the oil before separation

• Increase the viscosity of oil

• Reduce the viscosity of oil for better separation

• Store excess oil for later use

Which of the following is responsible for controlling the direction of fluid flow within the purifier system?

• Operating Water Tank

• 3-Way Valve

• Bowl Hood

• Belt

The bowl in a purifier is responsible for:

• Storing clean oil

• Separating oil and water using centrifugal force

• Filtering solid contaminants

• Mixing oil and water before separation

What is the function of the sludge tank in a shipboard purifier system?

• Storing excess clean oil

• Collecting waste products from the separation process

• Regulating water flow into the system

• Controlling the temperature of the oil

The motor in a purifier system primarily functions to:

• Rotate the purifier bowl at high speed

• Control the temperature of the oil

• Pump sludge to the storage tank

• Filter out solid contaminants

Which part of the purifier prevents debris from entering the system and ensures safe operation?

• Bowl Hood

• Horizontal Shaft

• Clutch

• Bearing

What is the function of the paring disk in a purifier?

• Heats the oil before separation

• Controls the flow of separated clean oil and water

• Filters out sludge from the oil

• Supports the rotating bowl
