CHEMCO Exit Exam • Set 6 Question 18 of 30

How purging and seal monitoring is done?

✓

Direct Answer

Option B: Air or inert gas pipe connected to the line, the two way valve is moved to hydraulic oil side and air or inert gas is opened and if there is any leak, it is purged out and the quantity is measured, then the two way valve is moved to the cargo oil side and the air or inert gas is opened and if there is any leak, it is purged out and the quantity is measured

Purging and seal monitoring involves checking both the hydraulic motor side and the cargo pump side for leaks. The two-way valve allows sequential purging and testing of each side with inert gas, ensuring seal integrity as per operational procedures.
