Question 29Gas Turbine - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is C) 32 shock mounts. The GE LM2500 gas turbine enclosure is a large and heavy piece of equipment that needs to be securely mounted to the ship's foundation to prevent damage during operation and rough seas. The manufacturer specifies that 32 shock mounts are required to properly secure the enclosure and isolate it from the ship's structure. This ensures the turbine is held firmly in place while also absorbing vibrations and impacts to protect the sensitive components inside. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the manufacturer's recommended number of shock mounts needed for this specific gas turbine model and installation.
