Question 128Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) Relief of excessively high-pressure gases from the cylinder. The flow arrows in the illustration MO-0026 indicate the process of relieving excessively high-pressure gases from the cylinder, which is a safety mechanism required on marine diesel engines to prevent damage or explosion. This process is governed by regulations and best practices for marine engine operation and maintenance. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the process depicted by the flow arrows in the illustration. Option B refers to cooling water flow, option C refers to fuel oil return, and option D refers to air flow during engine start-up, none of which are represented by the flow arrows shown.
