Question 1

Why is tuning a PID controller essential when handling boil-off gas (BOG) on a gas tanker?

A It ensures constant supervision.
B It adjusts system pressure automatically.
C Proper tuning ensures precise control of BOG management, preventing pressure surges and optimizing fuel use.
D It minimizes the need for backup systems

Question 2

How does the cooling of IGCT modules affect their performance?

A Influence thermal resistance and power dissipation capability.
B Affect gate drive voltage requirements.
C Improve short-circuit withstand capability.
D Reduce device size and weight.

Question 3

Why is 4 mA used as the minimum signal level in a 4-20 mA loops?

A To detect wiring faults - broken loop or disconnection.
B To provide more accuracy
C To increase response time of the sensors
D For more precize adjustments

Question 4

In a PID controller, what does the 'P' term stand for, and what does it control?

A Proportional; it controls the magnitude of the error.
B Process; it controls the system speed.
C Passive; it controls the backup systems.
D Pre-emptive; it anticipates future errors.

Question 5

What would happen if the integral gain (I) is set too high in a PID controller managing cargo pump speed?

A The system will stabilize more quickly
B The system may exhibit excessive overshoot and become slow to stabilize.
C It will have no effect on system performance.
D The system will respond instantly with no error.
