M/e trouble: lot of smoke from the funnel

 Immediate actions
 Reduce load on engine. Check purifier operating alright/ reduce throughput to have better purification. Drain water from settling & service tank. Check scavenge air temperature & adjust if
required.Check the boiler uptake temperature. Soot blow the economizer.  Ensure, fuel oil end heater outlet temperature proper corresponding to attain viscosity at the point of injection. Check, if any particular Exhaust temperature is higher than others, if so, then stop the engine, Change the injector with a spare overhauled injector. Check all fuel pump timings are correct or not.  Dismantle and carry out overhaul of T/C.  Send fuel oil for Laboratory analysis.
Causes
 • Improper combustion., Burning of carbon particles collected at EGE.Boiler uptake fire. Overloading of engine.Lots of smoke is also seen in scavenge fire. Exhaust valve is defective. Fuel valve is defective.Purifier not working efficiently.Fuel oil quality is bad or water in fuel.

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).

M/e trouble-what to check if Engine is not starting on air and fuel?

Engine not starting on Air: - * Low air bottle pressure or airline valve may be shut. * Air bottle isolating valve or automatic valve or distributor not functioning. * Control air valves faulty or less control air pressure. * Starting air automatic valve jammed. * Turning gear engaged. * Reversing has not taken place completely. * Control valve for fuel or start is not in its end position. * Bursting diaphragm(disc) on start airline damaged. * Fuel lever on maneuvering stand not on remote mode. * Auxiliary blower not running or not on ‘auto’ mode. * Emergency stop has activated. * Interlock is operated. *Cylinder air start valve defective or sticky. *Piston not in firing mode.   Engine not starting on fuel: - *Less fuel in service tank. * Fuel Oil filter is chocked. * Fuel Oil supply pumps not delivering required pressure. Or fuel pump tripped. * Puncture valve still active. *Fuel oil temperature to low. * Fuel level on local maneuvering stand, is not on remote stand. * Fuel rack...
