o Direction of line pull danger area - Since a snap-back action inevitably occurs when a line parts under tension, never allow personnel to stand in the direct line pull or when it is under tension. A synthetic line parting under tension will snap back at near the speed of sound, and reaction time to clear the area will not be available. Where possible, position line handlers 90 degrees from the direction of the tension force.
o Safe distance from blocks, cleats, gypsy heads, capstans, etc. through which line passes is 6 feet.
o Removal of all loose objects - rings, watches, keys will be removed prior to the evolution so they will not get caught and cause personnel injury.
o Whenever possible remain forward and inboard of lines or wires under tension in case of failure; UNREP rigs will move aft because of the motion of the ship. Never stand aft of the rig unless ordered to do so by the rig captain of the safety officer.
o Line handling using the “hand-over-hand” rule. Lines will be handled hand over hand to prevent injury of the palm of your hand. |

Term
| Explain the 4 phases of the basic refrigeration cycle |
|
Definition
*Compression: Compressor - takes low pressure freon gas, compresses it into higher pressure gas.
*Condensation: Condenser - heat from the high pressure / temperature refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor (physical state of refrigerant from gas to liquid). Seawater cooled types: refrigerant is passed outside tubes (shell side) in cross flow pattern while seawater flows inside. Air cooled types: refrigerant flows inside tubes while air is circulated outside in a cross flow pattern.
*Expansion: Consists of Thermal Expansion Valve (used to meter (regulate) the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator coil.)*Evaporation: Consists of Evaporator/Cooling Coil. Evaporation takes place when liquid is changed into vapor / gas. Evaporator - system of many aluminum or copper coils. Refrigerant moves through the evaporator with heat flowing to the coil from the surrounding air, causing the rest of the liquid refrigerant to boil and evaporate. |
