D) To test the valve’s resistance to corrosion

7 / 15

What is the primary purpose of remotely operated quick-closing valves in a marine engine room?

D) To control the temperature of the engine cooling water

C) To regulate the pressure in the fuel system

B) To rapidly stop the flow of fuel in case of an emergency

A) To maintain a constant flow of fuel to the engine

8 / 15

Remotely operated quick-closing valves are generally not installed in which of the following areas?

A) Fuel oil storage and service tanks

C) Freshwater cooling system

D) Emergency generator fuel lines

B) Main engine fuel supply lines

9 / 15

Which of the following scenarios would most likely require the use of remotely operated quick-closing valves?

B) Routine maintenance on the engine

C) A fire breaking out in the engine room

D) Routine fuel oil transfer between tanks

A) A minor leak in the fuel line

10 / 15

Why is it important to document the results of remotely operated quick-closing valve tests?

C) To calculate the valve's operating temperature

D) To monitor the valve's effect on engine performance

B) To ensure compliance with safety regulations and maintenance schedules

11 / 15

Where would you expect to find remotely operated quick-closing valves on a vessel’s fuel system?

D) On the ballast water system's overboard discharge line

B) At the inlet and outlet of the fuel purifiers

C) At the bottom of daily service tanks and in the fuel supply lines

A) On the main engine’s air intake manifold

12 / 15

How are remotely operated quick-closing valves typically actuated?

A) Manually by turning a handwheel

D) By the engine's control system during normal operation

C) By remote control from a safe location

B) Automatically by a pressure sensor

13 / 15

During a test of a remotely operated quick-closing valve, what would indicate that the valve is functioning properly?

A) The valve remains open to allow fuel flow

B) The valve closes immediately and fully upon activation

D) The valve does not respond to the remote control

C) The valve opens and closes slowly over time

14 / 15

What should be done if a remotely operated quick-closing valve fails to operate during a test?

D) The test should be considered successful regardless of the outcome

A) The valve should be left as is until the next scheduled maintenance

C) The valve should be inspected, and any faults rectified before being tested again

B) The valve should be replaced immediately

15 / 15

How is a remotely operated quick-closing valve typically tested on board a vessel?

D) By heating the valve to its maximum operating temperature and observing its performance

B) By simulating an emergency condition and actuating the valve from the remote control location

A) By manually opening and closing the valve several times

C) By applying a constant pressure to the valve and checking for leaks
