Question 1 of 2066636eef28f7522a1c520041

In order to minimize the abrasive action of dust particles entering the combustion spaces of the diesel engines used on the offshore supply vessel to which you are assigned, each engine is protected with a heavy-duty air intake filter. Which one of the listed air intake filter elements is periodically cleaned as opposed to being periodically replaced with a new element?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Maintenance practices for different filter element constructions (disposable vs cleanable) • How rigidity and material of a filter element affects whether it’s washed or replaced • Typical use of wire mesh and metal elements in marine diesel air intake systems

💭 Think About

• Which of these elements is most likely to be made of metal or a durable material that can tolerate washing, solvent cleaning, or blowing out with air? • Which of these types is usually designed as a fine, paper- or fabric-type medium that degrades or clogs and is therefore thrown away instead of cleaned? • Think about heavy-duty offshore use: which construction is simplest and most rugged for repeated cleaning in an engine room environment?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which type is commonly metallic and mechanically strong (can be blown out or washed and re-used). • Identify which types are more often paper/fabric cartridge or panel style, intended for periodic replacement. • Confirm which design is mentioned in marine engineering texts as cleaned rather than renewed in service.
