74. What is auto tuning?
75. Continuously monitoring and adjusting p Pmax and P comp. .
76. What is VEC? Benifit?
In order to optimise the exhaust valve operation over the normal load range, the closing point of the exhaust valve is
changed over 70-85% x MCR. During VEC operation the exhaust valve is closed EARLIER which means that the
compression stroke of the piston is increased. This will lead to higher compression pressures and temperatures.
For instance if the normal closage of the exhaust valve is 130oBTDC, and this gives a compression ratio of 10.6, then
by closing the valve 10o earlier, the compression ratio will increase to 11.2, and the compression pressure will rise by
4 bar, for the same scavenge air/load setting.The unit achieves this by leaking some of the oil contained in the high
pressure pipe .
This will cause the valve to slightly close, but will mean that the exhaust valve will be  Hence the piston can start to
pressurise the cylinder contents earlier. The amount the valve closes is dependant on the position of the VEC shaft
and eccentric mounted on the side of the exhaust valve actuator.
77. What is internal and external of TEV in ref.system?
There are two main types of thermal expansion valves: internally or externally equalized. The difference between
externally and internally equalized valves is how the evaporator pressure affects the position of the needle. In
internally equalized valves, the evaporator pressure against the diaphragm is the pressure at the inlet of the
evaporator, whereas in externally equalized valves, the evaporator pressure against the diaphragm is the pressure at
the outlet of the evaporator.
Externally equalized thermostatic expansion valves compensate for any pressure drop through the evaporator.
Internally equalized valves can be used on single circuit evaporator coils having low pressure drop.
Externally equalized valves must be used on multi-circuited evaporators with refrigerant distributors. Externally
equalized TXVs can be used on all applications; however, an externally equalized TXV cannot be replaced with an
internally equalized TXV.[4] A type of internally equalized thermal expansion valve, known as the block type valve,
which features an internal sensing bulb, located inside the suction line connection and in constant contact with the
refrigerant flow, is nowadays often used on automotive evaporators that don't require externally equalized TXVs

to say this much as soon as he ask type of engine).
91. Surging - Strated with practical definition of reversal of flow of air due to restrictions in air/gas passage etc., he
was not convinced. Then said the definition which is on devan aranha book with pressure ration n mass flow..
still he wants more. I stated abt surgine line graph. But still he wants me to tell more abt what is surging. (Dono
what he expects)
92. Components of air side in t/c. Strtd with filter, silencer, inducer, impeller , diffuser.. stopped and asked. Inducer
n diffuser function. (Inducer to guide the air to the impeller to avoid entry loss. Diffuser to convert velocity to

93. How vibrations are minimised in t/c? Binding wire in blades, in ball bearing type damping springs provides on
top n sides of bearing. In sleeve type hydro dynamic lubrication itself dampens it, but he want more in sleeve
type. I couldn tell.

94. How botton end bearing lubricated ? Said from tels pipe, xhead, con rod then comes to bottom half of the shell.
He wanted exact location of entry (it is through side holes in upper shell. Wants to know ant tangential run n
bore relief in the shell)
95. Back pressure valve in reefer. Strtd with , it ll be in veg room to maintain more pressure in the evaporator line
of the veg room coz bef room doesnt need tht much low refrigerant like meat room, so y increasing the back
pressure, refrigerant is made to stay longer in the evaporator. Then he asked what expansion vlv is dng? Said
it jus maintains the superheat condition at evaporator outlet not the pressure.
96. What pressure u set the blr safety valve? Said 103% of working pressure. He asked abt design pressure.
Expected Factor of safety. Said it is uts/working stress. Convinced him that safety vlv is not set according to
design pressure . Then He said “ u need to tell maximum working pressure” . He expects that word “maximum”
(Cross questions he s asking is jus to know how me we know, sometimes it ll be confusing us, but we should be
confident with our answers and tell all the things we know related to that question
