What is the primary function of a marine auxiliary system?

  1. To provide propulsion to the ship

  2. To generate electricity for the ship

  3. To provide heating and cooling for the ship

  4. To treat and dispose of waste from the ship


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Marine auxiliary systems are responsible for providing heating and cooling for the ship, as well as other essential services such as ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration.

Which of the following is not a common type of marine auxiliary system?

  1. Boiler

  2. Condenser

  3. Turbine

  4. Refrigerator


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Refrigerators are not typically considered to be marine auxiliary systems, as they are not essential for the operation of the ship.

What is the function of a boiler in a marine auxiliary system?

  1. To generate steam

  2. To condense steam

  3. To heat water

  4. To cool water


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Boilers are used to generate steam, which is then used to drive turbines or other machinery.

What is the function of a condenser in a marine auxiliary system?

  1. To generate steam

  2. To condense steam

  3. To heat water

  4. To cool water


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Condensers are used to condense steam from the turbine exhaust, which is then returned to the boiler as feedwater.
