back of the record for the daily signature of the engineerofficer.AIR COMPRESSOR OPERATING RECORDREFRIGERATION/AIR CONDITIONINGEQUIPMENT RECORDThe Refrigeration/Air Conditioning EquipmentOperating Record, NAVSEA 9516/1 (fig. 2-7), is acomplete daily record for each operating refrigerationplant and air conditioning plant (except packageunits). Spaces on the front of the record are for entriesapplicable to both refrigeration and air conditioningplants (view A of fig. 2-7). The entries made on theback of the record are illustrated in view B offigure 2-7 (air conditioning). Note that data arerecorded at 2-hour intervals in this record. The Adivision officer reviews the contents and initials therecord daily.GYROCOMPASS OPERATING RECORDThe Gyrocompass Operating Record is a locallyprepared, complete daily record for each operatingmaster gyrocompass. The form for the log is preparedaccording to the type commander’s directives.Columns in the log should provide space forrecording the times of starting and stopping thegyrocompass, total hours of operation since deliveryof the gyrocompass, and important operating datapertaining to the gyrocompass installation, The pettyofficer in charge of the interior communications (IC)equipment checks the accuracy of the log and theelectrical officer notes its contents daily.IC ROOM OPERATING RECORDThe IC Room Operating Record is a daily record ofmajor electrical equipment in operation in the IC roomand is maintained by the IC watch. The form for therecord is prepared locally according to the typecommander’s directives. On small ships thegyrocompass log and the IC room record may bemaintained on the same form. Important data such asvoltages and currents of major units of IC equipment(IC switchboard, telephone switchboard, and motorgenerator sets) should be recorded on the form. The ICRoom Operating Record is checked and approved in themanner described for the Gyrocompass OperatingRecord.Some large ships maintain an Air CompressorOperating Record that contains important data such astemperatures and pressures pertaining to aircompressors in operation. When required by the typecommander, the Air Compressor Operating Record isprepared locally according to his directives. Contents ofthe record should be checked by the petty officer incharge of the air compressors and the appropriatedivision officer.FUEL AND WATER ACCOUNTSThe maintenance of daily fuel oil, lubricating oil,water, and diesel oil accounts is vital to the efficientoperation of the engineering department. The typecommander generally prescribes forms and proceduresnecessary to account for and preserve a limited supplyof fresh water and fuel. Chapter 090 of the NSTM liststhe fuel and water accounts that the Naval Sea SystemsCommand (NAVSEASYSCOM) considersindispensable to the engineering department.Principally, these accounts inform the engineer officerof the status of the ship’s liquid load. They also form thebasis for several important reports submitted to higherauthority by the engineer officer. One of the mostimportant of these is the report of the amount ofburnable fuel on hand.It is fundamental to all naval operations that all shipand unit commanders know the exact amount ofburnable fuel on hand. It is sound engineering practiceto fill all fuel oil tanks to 95 percent of volumetriccapacity to allow for expansion and to prevent spillage.When submitting fuel reports, the 95 percent volumetriccapacity of the tank is assumed to be 100 percent of theburnable fuel. It is possible, however, to fuel above the95 percent volumetric capacity. When fueled to 100percent volumetric capacity, the burnable fuelpercentage figure will exceed 100 percent. The engineerofficer should not hesitate to report burnable fuel inexcess of 100 percent when this amount is actually onboard.When computing the amount of burnable fuel onboard, only the fuel oil in storage tanks and servicetanks is considered and only if it is above the servicesuction and transfer suction tailpipes. Fuel below thosepipes is not considered burnable. The design height ofsuction tailpipes is shown on ship’s plans. The fuel oilin contaminated tanks (settling or separating tanks),also is not considered burnable.2-14
