Q1. State the causes of scavenge fire in a two-stroke engine and explain how the possibility of such an occurrence can be reduced. If a scavenge fire does occur what action should be taken? Discuss the use of CO2 and dry powder for extinguishing such a fire and describe a fixed installation or applying one of these...

Low speed engines—introduction
Low speed two-stroke engine designers have invested heavily to maintain their dominance of the mainstream deepsea propulsion sector formed by tankers, bulk carriers and containerships. The long-established supremacy reflects the perceived overall operational economy, simplicity and reliability of single, direct-coupled crosshead engine plants. Other factors are the continual evolution of engine programmes by the designer/licensors in response to or...
