ABSTRACT

Belonging to the marine vocational and technical education system, the course "Marine Auxiliary Engine" is a core course in marine engine engineering technology major and also a compulsory subject required by STCW Convention. In the competency assessment of marine auxiliary engine, the measurement and adjustment of gear pump clearance is an important assessment item of marine engine major. Teachers usually have relatively mature methods for teaching of related content. This paper proposes two new methods for measuring gear pump clearance, and makes comparison with the old methods to demonstrate the operability, simplicity, practicability and innovation of the new method, which will provide certain reference and enlightenment for professionals engaged in teaching training and office work. Details are described as follows.
