What statement is true concerning the charge air system of a modern turbocharged slow-speed two- stroke cycle diesel engine?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Turbocharger performance at different engine speeds and loads on slow-speed two-stroke diesels • Difference between mechanically driven and electrically driven blowers • Purpose of an auxiliary/scavenge air blower in relation to low vs. high engine speed operation

💭 Think About

• Think about when the exhaust gas energy is LOW: at low speed or high speed? How does that affect the turbocharger’s ability to compress air? • Which type of drive (mechanical vs. electrical) is more commonly used on large slow-speed main propulsion engines for an always-available backup to the turbocharger? • Ask yourself: does the engine need HELP with air supply when it is heavily loaded and turning fast, or when it is just starting/turning slowly and exhaust flow is weak?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether the turbocharger depends on exhaust gas energy and what happens to that energy at low RPM and low load. • Confirm which is more typical on large slow-speed two-stroke main engines: mechanically driven auxiliary blowers vs. electrically driven ones. • Check that the correct statement matches the condition where scavenge/charge air pressure is insufficient and the auxiliary blower automatically cuts in or out.

What statement is true concerning the charge air system of a modern turbocharged slow-speed two- stroke cycle diesel engine?

An electrically driven auxiliary blower is usually provided because the turbocharger cannot provide enough air at low engine speeds and loads.

A mechanically driven auxiliary blower is usually provided because the turbocharger cannot provide enough air at high engine speeds and loads.

An electrically driven auxiliary blower is usually provided because the turbocharger cannot provide enough air at high engine speeds and loads.

A mechanically driven auxiliary blower is usually provided because the turbocharger cannot provide enough air at low engine speeds and loads.
