york screw start up

[frostybritt]

hi guys, first time on forums hello to you all, ive just been handed a contract to check and start up york screw chilled water plant. on a navy boat. this systems are charged and have already been commisioned. but this was three years ago. and they havnt run since. ive done alot on recips but not much on screws. any advice to prestart up checks other than oil heaters. valve positions ect. typicaly there is very little in the way of an OM maunal on board :confused:

Hi Frostybritt.

If its already been commissioned you should`nt really have any problems if no-ones touched it since.

All i would suggest is that after running it up give it a good leak test just in case any seals have dried out.

good luck.

Hi Frostybritt
I've worked on alot of york navy kit over the years.
Can you tell me more about the unit or vessel it is on.
Has it been run before or is it new???

I would suggest getting a oil sample and have it checked .
