Question 193Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer
70% to passStarting a large low-speed propulsion diesel engine on diesel fuel during cold weather conditions will be made easier by_______________.
Aincreasing the quantity of starting air
Bincreasing the lube oil pressure
Cheating the engine fuel supply
Dheating the engine coolant
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) heating the engine coolant. Heating the engine coolant is the best way to make starting a large low-speed propulsion diesel engine easier during cold weather conditions. The increased temperature of the coolant helps warm the engine block and pistons, reducing the viscosity of the engine oil and making it easier for the engine to turn over and start. The other options are not as effective for cold weather starting. Increasing the starting air quantity or lube oil pressure would not directly address the cold engine components. Heating the fuel supply may help atomize the fuel, but would not address the core issue of the cold engine.
