Aux 2 Unit 3 Quiz 6

Correct Answer:
B) To maintain consistent pressure and prevent system over-pressurization

Explanation:
The pressure relief valve protects the system by releasing excess pressure if it exceeds safe operating limits, preventing potential damage.

Correct Answer:
B) To store and supply hydraulic fluid to the system

Explanation:
The reservoir holds the hydraulic fluid and ensures an adequate supply for the system’s operation, also allowing for fluid cooling and de-aeration.

Correct Answer:
B) Hydraulic actuator (cylinder)

Explanation:
The hydraulic actuator converts the pressurized fluid's energy into mechanical movement, adjusting the fin's angle.

Correct Answer:
B) To control the angle of the stabilizer fins for minimizing vessel roll

Explanation:
The hydraulic system adjusts the angle of the stabilizer fins, which helps reduce the rolling motion of the vessel, improving stability and comfort.

Correct Answer:
B) It stores energy in the form of pressurized hydraulic fluid for quick adjustments

Explanation:
The accumulator stores pressurized hydraulic fluid, allowing the system to make quick adjustments to the fin stabilizers' angle when needed.

Correct Answer:
B) Flow control valve

Explanation:
A flow control valve regulates the speed of hydraulic fluid flow, ensuring that the movement of the stabilizers is smooth and controlled.

Correct Answer:
B) To control the direction of hydraulic fluid flow to the actuator

Explanation:
The directional control valve directs the flow of hydraulic fluid to the appropriate side of the actuator, enabling precise movement of the fin stabilizers.

Correct Answer:
A) Hydraulic accumulator

Explanation:
A hydraulic accumulator stores pressurized fluid, which provides the necessary energy for rapid adjustments to the stabilizer fins' angle.
