During fresh water generator operation why to open jacket water outlet valve first than inlet valve?

Outlet valve is opened first to avoid the pressure and thermal stresses which may act on the evaporator tubes and after that inlet valve is opened notch by notch
(should be opened fully within 15 to 20 min) to minimize the thermal stress on tubes

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).
