Question 32Gas Turbine - 1st Asst/Chief70% to pass
A total of how many shock mounts are used to secure the LM2500 enclosure to the ship's foundation?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 32 shock mounts.
The LM2500 is a gas turbine engine commonly used on US Coast Guard vessels. Coast Guard regulations specify that the LM2500 enclosure must be secured to the ship's foundation using 32 shock mounts. This provides the necessary vibration isolation and shock protection for the sensitive engine components.
The other answer choices are incorrect because 16 shock mounts would be insufficient, 24 would not meet the regulatory requirement, and 40 would be an unnecessarily high number.
