Engine Safety (Supplementary) USCG Question #186 (Set 3)

Which of the following problems can cause an above normal air temperature to develop in the intake manifold of a turbocharged and after cooled diesel engine?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Insufficient cooling water flow to the after coolers

Insufficient cooling water flow to the aftercoolers inhibits thermal energy removal from the compressed turbocharger air charge, directly leading to an above normal air temperature inside the engine intake manifold.
