SIGNIFICANCE

2P5W- TWO POSITION FIVE WAY VALVE

2P3W- TWO POSITION THREE WAY VALVE

For ME starting system, 30 bar air from air bottle is reduced to 6-7 bar using pressure
reducing valve. A relief valve is given in the line to keep the pneumatic components to be
safe. This 7 bar pneumatic line is mainly divided in to two A) control air and B) safety air.

CONTROL AIR

1. Control air line is divided in to two branches

One branch will pass through valve 139 and sub divided in to six branches. This air is
termed as spring air. Before entering in exhaust valve, this air will pass through valve
137.
139- Ball valve to shut the exhaust valve spring air.
137- Non-return v/v to prevent the back flow of air from exhaust valve
2. Second branch will flow through valve 1 and divides in to two branches.
3. First branch will lead to valve 100 inlet. This valve shifts control air from emergency
control system to remote control system and vice versa.
Ball valve for ON/OFF of the control air.
4. 100- 2P5W valve. Remote control and the Engine side control shift is made by this valve.
5. Second branch will goes to the control air reservoir 20 with a capacity of 40L to reduce
the time lag. Control air reservoir outlet divides in to five branches.

TASK NAME: FRAMO CARGO PUMP

TASK DESCRIPTION: ASSIST IN OVERHAUL OF A CARGO

PUMP AND PREPARE NOTES ON THE PROCEDURE AND
PRECAUTIONS

MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES ON THE SYSTEM ARE FOLLOWING:

1.Purging of cargo pump cofferdam or level control of liquid filled cofferdam according to
instruction in the manual. This gives the condition of the seals in the cargo pump, and
evaluations of the result enable marine engineers on board to plan any seal change. Open
cofferdam on the cargo pump is important to ensure you have the barrier between the
hydraulic section and cargo tank. A pump with a blocked cofferdam should not be used since
the condition of the seals cannot be checked.

2.do not use higher hydraulic pressure on the system than necessary. This will increase the
lifetime of hydraulic components.

3.avoid air in the hydraulic system. Vent the system regularly and always after service on the
hydraulic part.

4.mixing of different hydraulic oils should be avoided.

5.only use genuine spare parts to ensure a trouble-free operation.

6. Keep a few sets of spare seals and critical spare parts on board if they are needed at a
difficult situation. The cargo set for cargo pumps consists of an upper and a lower seal, and
both must be changed together.

7.ensure that the portable pump is included in planned maintenance programs.

the pump must be ready when needed.

8.move service valves annually to ensure they are operational when needed.
keep the hydraulic system clean.

PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE ON FRAMO CARGO PUMPING SYSTEM

If a leakage is detected, check if the flange connection is tight, retighten if necessary. If this
does not stop the leak, drain and open the equipment for repair. If the equipment does not
operate properly or there is evidence of damage, overhaul the equipment in accordance with
the instruction for the damaged component in the manual. Before opening the hydraulic pumps
or other hydraulic driven equipment, drain the oil. Always refill with oil upon completion of the
repair operation. Ensure proper air venting.
3rd to 2nd ENGINEER MENTORING RAJEEV PRASAD ( HK-ID: 49303)

Before reassembling any parts, they must be absolutely clean and free from dirt, lint or other foreign
matter. All parts must be washed.

PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE ON FRAMO CARGO PUMPING SYSTEM

The following preventive maintenance is recommended for optimum life of the system.
FILTER REPLACEMENT
Provided that the differential pressure switch is correct and none of the filter bypass valves are
leaking, the filter element should be replaced by a new element after indication of high
differential pressure or if a contamination level of the hydraulic oil above 16/12 according to
ISO 4406 has been indicated.
HYDRAULIC OIL COOLER
Inspect anodes regularly until rate of consumption is established.
Recommended intervals:
 Coolers with sea water every 3 months
 Coolers with fresh water annually.
The cooler bundle tubes should be cleaned regularly with soft brush or chemicals to remove
fouling film or solid contamination.
Recommended intervals:
 Coolers with sea water every 6 months, or if heat exchange rate is too low
 Annually for coolers with fresh water, or if heat exchange rate is too low.

ANODES
Inspection intervals for the zinc anodes assembled on ballast pumps and other pumps depends
mainly on time of exposure, water level in tank, water corrosivity and temperature. Please note
that the anodes included by Framo are only intended for protection of the pump, not the tank.
Standard calculation of anode lifetime is based upon:
 100% exposure in seawater
 Current density when exposed in seawater: 0.1 A/m²
 Zinc anode electrochemical capacity: 780 Ah/kg
It is recommended to inspect the anodes annually until rate of consumption is established.
Further inspection intervals to be based on experience.
STAINLESS STEEL ON DECK
Soot and dust, in addition to humidity and chloride concentrations present in the marine
atmosphere may affect both the corrosion resistance and the visual impression of the stainless
steel surface unless it is cleaned regularly. The cleaning can be done either by chemicals or
mechanically.
3rd to 2nd ENGINEER MENTORING RAJEEV PRASAD ( HK-ID: 49303)

OIL TESTING
To verify that the oil is in good condition, samples to be taken on a regular basis and according
to separate instruction. Particle counting and water analyses every 3 months, and full oil
analyses once a year. All samples to be taken at Framo oil sampling point.
OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
Part of the alarm system. Abnormal difference in oil level when power system is stopped or in
running condition means air in the hydraulic oil (high level when power packs are stopped, low
level when they are running). Vent the system regularly until the air is out of the system.
NOISE FROM PUMP/MOTOR
When in operation. Normally indicates that further analysis is required.
PURGING OF CARGO PUMPS
Purging of cargo pumps to be done in accordance with separate purging instruction. Purging
reports to be filled in during every round-trip
