18.7 Fire protection

Fires may develop in areas such as under-piston spaces and scavenge air receiver. The engine is fitted with a piping system which leads the fire extinguishing agent into the mentioned areas. Where fire protection is required, the final arrangement of the fire extinguishing system is to be submitted for approval to the relevant classification society.
18.7.1 Extinguishing agents

Various extinguishing agents can be considered for fire fighting purposes. Their selection is made either by the shipbuilder or the shipowner in compliance with the rules of the classification society involved. Table gives the recommended quantity of 45 kg bottles of CO2 for each engine. Steam as an alternative fire extinguishing medium is permissible for the scavenge air spaces of the piston underside, but may cause corrosion if countermeasures are not taken immediately after its use. These countermeasures comprise: opening scavenge spaces and removing oil and carbon deposits drying all unpainted surfaces and applying rust protection (i.e. lubricating oil). NOTICE Steam is not suitable for fire extinguishing under-piston spaces, as this may result in damage to vital parts such as the crankshaft. If steam is used for the scavenge spaces at piston underside, a water trap is recommended to be installed at each entry to the engine and assurance obtained that steam shut-off valves are tight when not in use.

19. Engine Emissions
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN), dealing with technical aspects of shipping. For more information see http://www.imo.org.
19.1 Exhaust gas emissions

19.1.1 Establishment of emission limits for ships
In 1973 an agreement on the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from ships was reached. It was modified in 1978 and is now known as MARPOL 73/78. The Annex VI to MARPOL 73/78, entered into force in 2005, contains regulations limiting or prohibiting certain types of emissions from ships, including limitations with respect to the allowed air pollution. Following the entry into force of the annex, a review process was started, resulting in an amended Annex IV, which was adopted by the IMO in October 2008 and entered into force in July 2010. This amended Annex IV includes provisions for the further development of the emissions regulations until 2020.
19.1.2 Regulation regarding NOx emissions of diesel engines

Regulation 13 of Annex IV specifies a limit for the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions of engines installed on ships, which has a direct implication on propulsion engine design. Depending on the rated speed of the engine and the date of keel-laying of the vessel, the weighted average NOx emission of that engine must not exceed the maximum allowable value as indicated by the respective curves in the following diagram.
Figure 19.1: Speed dependent maximum average NOx emissions by engines
19-1
The rules and procedures for demonstrating and verifying compliance with this regulation are laid down in the NOx Technical Code, which is part of Annex VI and is largely based on the latest revision of ISO 8178.
19.1.3 Measures for compliance with the IMO regulation

In the whole rating field, the IMO regulation is fulfilled by use of the Low NOx Tuning concept as shown in figure 19.2. No extended measures are necessary.

19.2 Engine noise

It is necessary to protect the ships crew/passengers from the effects of machinery space noise. Therefore the scavenge air ducts and the exhaust duct system (both expansion joints of gas outlet and gas inlet of turbocharger) should be equipped with the standard insulation and the turbocharger with the standard intake silencer.
19.2.1 Engine surface sound pressure level

Figure 19.3 shows the average air borne noise level, measured at 1 m distance and at nominal MCR. Near the turbocharger (air intake), the maximum measured noise level will normally be about 3-5 dB(A) higher than the average noise level of the engine.
Figure 19.3: Engine sound pressure level at 1 m distance
Average values Lp in dB in comparison with the ISO NR-curves and overall average values LpA in dB(A), at nominal MCR under free field conditions.
19-3
19.2.2 Engine exhaust sound pressure level at funnel top

The sound pressure level from the engine exhaust gas system without boiler and silencer (given in figure 19.4) is related to: a distance of one metre from the edge of the exhaust gas pipe opening (uptake) an angle of 30 to the gas flow direction nominal MCR. Each doubling of the distances reduces the noise level by about 6 dB. Depending on the actual noise level allowed on the bridge wing - which is normally maximum 60-70 dB(A) - a simple flow silencer of the absorption type may be necessary and placed after the exhaust gas boiler. The silencer is dimensioned for a gas velocity of approximately 35 m/s with a pressure loss of approx. 2 mbar at specified MCR.

19-4
19.2.3 Engine structure borne noise

The vibrational energy is propagated via engine structure, bedplate flanges and engine foundation to the ships structure, which starts to vibrate and thus emits noise. The sound pressure levels in the accommodations can be estimated with the aid of standard empirical formulas and the vibration velocity levels given in figure 19.5.

Introduction
This document is an overview guide line for the application of corrosion protection coating after shop test of RTA and RT-flex engines as also for temporally undetermined storage at shipyard / final destination. For the corrosion protection of the engine and its parts, as well as for the treatment of the cooling water circuits during engine assembling and shop test, the specification 107.215.543i and its amendments are still valid. The way of application might differ and depend on the expected or agreed engine storage period and the conditions at final destination. There are normally 3 different timeframes to which the coating thickness as also the regular main inspection intervals are referring. - normal period storage (up to 6 months) - long period storage (6 12 months) - undefined period of storage due to unpredictable postponement of ship project (over 12 months)
This guide line covers re-coating after the shop test, as during final assembly of the engine parts and even more during engine running, most of the protective coating will have been flushed away. Therefore a proper re-coating after shop test is crucial.
It was chosen to divide this document in various chapters and sub-chapters in order to have separate steps, thus not losing the principal information by overloading the chapters.
3.0
Responsibility
The orderer specifies the duration of protection and the special requirements for transport and storage. The engine manufacturer will be responsible that the specified corrosion protection is executed with care and that packaging is carried out in a professional manner. Reliable preservation is assured if the drying time of the applied coating is observed and the processes and products described in the following are properly applied. As transition area of taking over the responsibility for further proper storage and corrosion preservation of the engine, the chapters 9.0 - Final inspection before delivery (at engine maker) & 11.0 - Inspection upon arrival (at shipyard) and their sub-chapters have been written.

The manufacturers' specifications and safety sheets for these cleaning and coating products must be strictly observed. Other processes and products may be applied if they meet the specified requirements. Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd. will not accept any liability or responsibility for damage to the engine and its parts which is or has been sustained due to the none-observance of these preserving instructions, e.g. due to insufficient preservation, unsuitable storage or damaged preservation material. Moreover, Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd will not accept any liability for preservation measures that are carried out by the manufacturer or a third party. It is in any case the responsibility of the orderer to check the engine and its parts for any corrosive damage promptly upon arrival. Unless agreed differently in the purchase contract, any claim due to corrosion damage of the engine and its parts has to be made in writing to Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd. within two weeks from the arrival of the engine and its parts to the final destination defined in the purchase contract. Any claim made after the two weeks' notice period shall not be taken into account. The orderer shall be responsible for the preservation of the engine and its parts for further transport and final storage.

Reason for proper corrosion protection
To give you an impression of corroded parts, respectively the possible or impossible access for repairing or replacing of them, the following short extract of pictures will illustrate the reasons for proper corrosion protection. Without access by crane, available normally just in engine room condition, or proper storage warehouse, no proper repair or replacement work of heavy parts can be done!

4.0.1
Consequences for fully assembled engines on store side
As e.g. the pistons and cylinder liners can be checked only through the scavenge air ports, a cleaning and possible recovery of the parts at time will not be possible. Further corrosion leads to such kind of material pitting that the parts must be exchanged at a later stage.
Heavily corroded: Cylinder liner and piston crown. At last the parts could be pulled or reached to be cleaned and judged for further procedure (replacement).
Repaired (cleaned of upper rust layer) cylinder liner (above) and piston crown (below) surface revealed that the pitting had been so heavy that the parts had to be replaced.
Situation of cyl.liner & piston crown in fully assembled condition. Situation of parts access without crane available Be aware: These are just samples !

Range of application: Engine delivery condition
The intention of this chapter is to give an overview of different ways and engine stages the corrosion protection, the transport and the storage will be done, as this will affect either the way of corrosion protection application and even more the storage capabilities and additional re-coating work, which are required for long-term storage and unpredictable engine storage-time respectively. Mainly for reasons of different crane capacities as also engine sizes either at engine maker or at shipyard, there are three different conditions of engine delivery: See 5.0.1 : Engine delivered in fully assembled condition. See 5.0.2 : Engine delivered in 3 major components (bedplate with crankshaft, column, cylinder jackets with cylinder liner installed).
- See 5.0.3. : Engine fully dismantled after shop test. 5.0.1 Engine delivered in fully assembled condition
Engine delivered in fully assembled conditions.
Engine stored in a tentlike warehouse.
Engine stored outside and covered with a waterproof tarpaulin.
It is recommended to install dehumidifiers for transportation already. It has to be assured that they are connected electrically at board side.

5.0.2 Engine delivered in 3 pre-assembled major parts In general it has to be mentioned that the storage of single parts, even major parts like bedplate with crankshaft, column with platforms as well as the cylinder jackets and all additional parts like pistons, connecting rods, etc. can be done with less expense of time and work if the protection and packing of the parts was properly done beforehand. Dehumidifiers have to be placed at each single major part.
Cylinder jackets with scavenge air receivers Bedplates (2 parts) with crankshaft (in front) and column with fuel pumps (behind)
Connecting rods at cleaning stage at shipyard. The sea-trial date is fixed.
Cylinder liners at cleaning stage at shipyard.
Main pistons and cylinder covers (still Turbocharger prepared ( openings closed by covered and exhaust cage closed by plate) wooden plates)

Engine delivered in 3 pre-assembled major parts & crankshaft delivered separately
It might occur quite often that the crankshaft has to be dismantled after shop test. This is mostly the case with bigger bore engines RTA/RT-flex 82; RTA/RT-flex 84; RTA/RTflex96, but it might also be required for small bore engines. The principal reason is the crane load capacity either at engine maker or at the shipyard. 5.0.4 Engine delivered fully disassembled
Engine fully dismantled after shop test: All parts have been cleaned, protected and covered properly (bedplate, crankshaft, column, cylinder jacket as single components); all platforms and pipes are dismantled, all other parts like cylinder covers and exhaust valves, pistons, cylinder liners, connecting rods, crossheads and so on are packed and protected in wooden boxes.
Example of connecting rod with crosshead at transport packaging stage. Stored outside just after arrival at shipyard.

Climatic conditions for: Cleaning Coating Storage
As the many different climatic conditions are one of the major impacts in relation to the applicable corrosion protection work, this issue has to be clarified more closely. High humidity conditions with humidity values as high as 80-85% over nearly the whole year on the one hand, and the corrosion protection liquid properties on the other hand, implicate the recommendation of preferably low humidity values, as otherwise the fast accretion of moisture on the blank surfaces will complicate any proper procedure. Therefore Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd. recommends the a relative humidity value below 50% in general.

6.0.1 For cleaning of machined surfaces parts in general; before coating The cleaning work has to be carried out in a well-ventilated room at a temperature between 15 C (min) and 35 C (max.). The relative humidity should be less than 50%. 6.0.2 For application of corrosion protection The cleaning work has to be carried out in a well-ventilated room at a temperature between 15 C (min) and 35 C (max.). The relative humidity should be less than 50%. 6.0.3 For storage of engine or engine parts The engine and its parts must be stored in well-ventilated rooms at a temperature between 15 C (min) and 35 C (max.). The relative humidity should be less than 50%.
7.0.0
Draining & cleaning of engine parts after shop test
The procedure described in this chapter has to be carried out hand in hand with chapter 8, taking into account that all painting work (coating of primer & top layer) has been done properly before engine assembly. The application of corrosion protection has to be checked and renewed on all machined/blank surfaces, as the corrosion protection may be flushed due to the temperatures reached during engine running for shop test, or has melted away during the shop test itself or scraped away during assembly. As general summary of this chapter 7, the following rule has to be considered stringently: The clean and dry condition of the machined/blank surfaces is of outmost importance for a proper application of corrosion protection, as the adhesion of all applicants will be as good as cleaning and drying work was performed!
To accelerate the drying time, heaters with dry air fans for heating up the engine interior can be considered. A heat venting system is probably even more useful in connection with drying of all water pipes and/or water cooling spaces. Connection flanges at the transition between the venting system and the piping/ cooling spaces might be especially useful, as flange connections are easily adaptable to different engine sizes by the mere use of additional adaptors. All parts which have been affected by carbon deposits during engine running have to be cleaned carefully, otherwise the carbon deposits will harm the parts, as there remains sulphuric acid which corrodes the material very much in connection with the long period of standstill.

General preparations
- Heaters with dry air fans for heating up the engine internal can be considered due to the amounts of solvents as well as of the corrosion protectors used during a production year, and also to accelerate the drying time, in order to obtain a beneficial economical and environmental effect (one work carried out once) for the engine preservation work. - A heat venting system is probably even more useful in connection with drying of all water pipes and/or water cooling spaces (see also 7.0.6). - Connection flanges at the transition between the venting system and the piping/ cooling spaces might be especially useful, as flange connections are easily adaptable to different engine sizes by the mere use of additional adaptors. The engine maker and probably also the shipyard(*) should take the following into account: (*)= For the shipyards this might be interesting by reason of unpredictable anchoring of ships after sea-trails due to re-arranged final ship-delivery or other force majeure reasons. As the cleaning-, and much more, the drying work after a shop test can be of a dangerously annoying stimulus due to the fact that especially the oil will flow time and again over already cleaned surfaces, or, as in our case, over machined/blank surfaces, a fast heating and drying-up of the crankcase as well as of the piston underside by a heating fan system should be considered just after shop test. A thickened oil film is much easier and faster cleaned with much less solvent. Likewise the thickened oil will not flow quickly again over the surfaces cleaned/prepared for corrosion protection.

All fuel injection valves are to be overhauled according to the instructions given in the Maintenance Manual. It is recommended to flush the overhauled fuel injection valves on a test bench using a special calibration fluid (for corrosion protection reasons no MDO should be used). After flushing the injection valves the tension of the springs should be released. The openings at the cylinder cover are to be sealed air-tight.

RTA Engine Fuel pump
To achieve the highest level of corrosion protection for the RTA fuel injection components, it is recommended to drain the MDO from the fuel system. The fuel inlet and outlet lines need to be closed. After dismantling the delivery valve, the fuel pump block can be filled with rust-preventing engine oil. Note that during filling up of the fuel pump block the spill and suction valves should be manually lifted in order to fill the complete fuel pump block. The oil level needs to be checked from time to time and if necessary oil has to be replenished. After the engine has been shut down on MDO, drain the complete fuel system. Overhaul the fuel cocks in the inlet and outlet lines. Afterwards reassemble them in closed position. Remove the delivery valve and fill the fuel pump block manually with rustpreventing engine oil. All open ports, adapters, pipes, etc. need to be preserved against corrosion and sealed in order to prevent ingress of foreign particles. Clean and then spray coat the fuel pump blocks and moving parts (springs, pushrods, etc.) with rust-preventing engine oil. Lubricate the fuel linkage including the spring link on the eccentric shaft.

RT-flex Engine
To achieve the highest level of corrosion protection for the RT-flex fuel injection components it is recommended to drain the MDO from the fuel system and to remove the ICUs from the engine. Afterwards the fuel rail and the intermediate accumulator including the fuel pumps need to be filled with system oil or special rust-preventing engine oil. Fuel pump In general the fuel pumps can be left in place during the transport / storage. However, some special measures are required to protect them against corrosion. To guarantee lubrication and preservation of the internal parts, the non return valve bodies including compression springs inside the fuel pump need to be removed. Note that the non return valves bodies should not be interchanged; therefore they have to be marked for correct positioning during re-installation. After the engine has been shut down on MDO, drain the complete fuel system including low pressure circuit, intermediate fuel accumulator and fuel rail. Close the valves in the fuel inlet and return lines (low pressure circuit). Clean the fuel pump from outside and protect all blank parts. Lubricate the fuel regulating linkage including regulating rack. All open ports, adapters, pipes, etc. need to be preserved against corrosion and sealed in order to prevent ingress of foreign particles.

RT-flex Engine ICU, IFA, Fuel Rail
All ICUs need to be removed from the engine; depending on the number of running hours it should be considered to send them to a Wrtsil reconditioning workshop for overhaul. If the ICUs are not due they must be stored in an oil bath during the lay-up period. The openings on the fuel rail need to be sealed with blind flanges so that the fuel system can be completely filled with system oil or special rust-preventing engine oil. 1. After the engine has been shut down on MDO, make sure that the whole fuel system including low pressure circuit, intermediate fuel accumulator and fuel rail is completely drained. 2. Clean all ICUs as well as possible from outside. 3. Remove all rail valves and fuel quantity sensors from the ICUs. Preserve the fuel quantity sensors and rail valves and store them in a dry place. 4. Remove all ICUs from the engine and store them in an oil bath for corrosion protection. As soon as the ICU is in the oil bath, it is recommended to move the fuel quantity piston by manually carrying out a few strokes. 5. Blank off all openings on the fuel rail with blind flanges, except the one on the forward side. There a flange with a connection needs to be installed to supply oil into the fuel rail. 6. Blank off the control oil supply to the ICU to allow operating the control oil pumps. 7. Fill the fuel rail including rising pipes, intermediate accumulator and fuel pumps with system oil or special rust-preventing engine oil. As soon as the fuel system is completely air-free filled with oil, a small tank (oil barrel) can be connected to compensate slight leakages during the storage.

Overview of the general application range
For exposed parts (engine external), the following description of layer application might be used as general guidance regarding corrosion protection application. (e.g. starting air distributor, manoeuvring linkage, camshafts for RTA engines, RTA fuel pump block, etc.) Apply a first layer of Tectyl 506 to all surfaces using an airless spray unit. Allow to dry for at least 5 hours at 10-20C (3 hrs at 20-25C; 2 hrs at >25C). A second coating of Tectyl 506 must be applied to all surfaces, with the exception of the webs, using an airgun . Do not touch this coating. Allow to dry for at least 36 hours at 10-20C (24 hrs at >20C). A coating of Tectyl 132 must be applied to all crankshaft surfaces by means of an airless spray unit. Allow to dry for at least 36 hours at 10-20C (24 hrs at >20C).
8.0.2
Application of the corrosion protectors / coating
The climatic properties have been described under 6.1.2. To avoid the accretion of moisture on blank surfaces, the components must show room temperature during the work. The coating must be applied straight after cleaning to the dried surfaces. For the recommended coating materials with details of their application see pages 10 to 12. The supplementary product specifications for the coating materials must be strictly observed.
8.0.3
Checking the quality of the coating
The inspection of the dry coating is made non destructively according to the magneticinduction method, e.g. with the measuring device "Minitest". The adhesion of the coating is to be checked with a cross-cut test according to DIN 53 151 (Code GT 1). The damaged coating resulting from this inspection is to be ground over and applied anew. In case of non-fulfilment of the quality standard, the manufacturer's quality assurance department will decide whether further inspections are necessary and if the coating should be renewed.

Crankshaft corrosion protection at engine shop Preservation for indoor and temporary storage The crankshaft must be free of rust, cleaned thoroughly as instructed in para. 7.0-5.1, and not have been touched since. If this is not fulfilled, repeat cleaning according to 7.0.5.1. Flush oil bores, threaded holes etc. with Dewatering Fluid WA or "Anticorit DFW" and allow to dry completely (min. 5 hrs at 10 to 20C; min. 3 hrs at 20 to 25C; 2 hrs at >25C). Close the bores, threaded holes, etc. with plastic protective plugs (do not use wooden pegs). These protective plugs are not to be removed until just before the crankshaft is fitted in the engine. Using an airgun, dewater and neutralize all surfaces with Dewatering Fluid WA or "Anticorit DFW". Do not touch the surface. Allow the waxy protective film to dry for at least 5 hours at 10-20C (3 hrs at 20-25C; 2 hrs at >25C) prior to further treatment. It is mandatory to keep to the drying time! The protective film must be touch proof (however, not to be touched with bare hands!). In case of insufficient drying, the adhesion of the subsequent coatings is not assured. Apply a first layer of Tectyl 506 to all surfaces with an airless spray unit. Allow to dry for at least 5 hours at 10-20C (3 hrs at 20-25C; 2 hrs at >25C).

Removal of the preservation material prior to fitting and for inspection purposes
The corrosion protective products can be removed manually with acid-free cotton cloth soaked with petroleum or aromatic-free white spirit. A proven method is to wrap the bearing journals concerned in acid-free cotton cloths, which are then dowsed with a solvent, such as white spirit or Shellsol (for lack of solvents use diesel oil). After a sufficient application time (min. 1 hour), the cloths may be removed. The preservation layers can now been scraped off by means of a wooden spatula. Attention: metallic scrapers or other means, such as steam- or hot water cleaners, must not be used! The preservation must be checked before the expiration of the duration of protection and, if necessary, renewed.
8.0.6.0
Corrosion protection of cooling water circuits (Cylinder liner scavenge air cooler piping for water circulation at engine)
As the cooling water will be drained off after shop test, further treatment against corrosive attack is absolutely essential, i.e. the admixture of a so-called soluble oil to the cooling water in order to protect the engine cooling water system. The concentration must be maintained at levels between 0.5 and 0.8 per cent by volume. Prior to the complete shutdown of the system, the circulating cooling water through the engine cooling water system is to be maintained at a pH value between 7 and 9 and the soluble oil inhibitor level increased to 1 per cent by volume. The cylinder temperature is not to exceed 90C and circulation is to continue for at least three hours, allowing time for the soluble oil inhibitor to coat the internal surfaces. Attention: The application of soluble oil might be just of helpful use, if the storage period is predicted as being very long (over 12 months). The reason is that the water circuits would have to be flushed at shipside after installation, before being finally connected to board circuit. If the water circuits - especially the one for cylinder liners and cylinder cover cooling spaces with the cooling bores in the cylinder liner as well as the one in the cylinder cover - and exhaust valve cooling circuit are not flushed, the soluble oil foam, in connection with dust, will lead to clogging of the beforehand described cooling bores.

8.1.1
Dehumidifier installation Install a dehumidifier system to crankcase, piston underside and supply unit or camshaft housing (RTA). Install a real-humidity monitoring system to crankcase and piston underside to record real humidity and temperature during the lay-up period. The dehumidifier needs to be connected with flexible hoses to the engine as described below. A real humidity of 40% - 50% inside the engine needs to be reached to keep the risk of corrosion low. The execution of the connection may vary depending on the dehumidifier system used and engine type. It is recommended to use a booster fan within the dehumidifier circuit to obtain a constant slight overpressure inside the engine. 1. Connect the dehumidifier to the piston underside, inlet on the AFT side and outlet on the FWD side of the engine (opposite direction is also possible). 2. Connect all camshaft housings together with the dehumidifier to one loop. 3. Connect the dehumidifier to the crankcase, inlet on the AFT side and outlet on the FWD side of the engine (opposite direction is also possible). The flexible hoses can either be connected to the crankcase door openings with a dummy plate, or two relief valves can be removed for the connection. 4. Record humidity values daily of each engine space given on the Inspection List for Dehumidifier see chapter 17.0.2.

Turbocharger
Generally the turbocharger manufacturer operation manual has to be consulted to carry out any kind of work. It has to be assumed that all cast- or flange-contact surfaces have been corrosion protected properly with Tectyl 506 as first layer and Tectyl 132 as second layer. It is of outmost importance that the turbochargers be sealed against moisture penetration, and also the sealing of the exhaust silencer by proper application of socalled VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) foil has to be assured. It is strongly recommended that reliable re-commissioning of the turbocharger be carried out by an authorised service branch the manufacturers. This is mostly by reason of detecting the proper condition (e.g. VTR 4: concentricity of rotor, condition of bearing space and bearing, as also the proper measuring of the clearances thereof), if necessary carrying out further action and finally, assuring readiness for operation.

Protection condition during transport to shipyard
As the engine and/or its parts have been checked at engine maker, see 9.0, and therefore the engine and/or its parts and the packaging are assumed to be in proper condition, the engine with connected dehumidifiers has to be checked on a daily basis for proper operation. As transportation can take even several weeks and/or the discharge at arrival port may be postponed due to unexpected occurrences, the further inspection procedure has to be guaranteed.

Inspection upon arrival (at shipyard)
The inspection is to be carried out within two weeks after the engine/engine parts have arrived to the final destination. Any shortcomings because of an improper preservation are to be reported in writing to Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd within this time limit. After this time limit, no claims about corrosion damage of the engine and the engine parts respectively shall be taken into account. See also para. 9.0 .

13.0.1
Once a week
(if possible at yard stage!) Operate the main engine system oil pump for 20 minutes while turning the engine. During this time the cylinder lubrication should be operated manually. The engine should be stopped each time in another position. Note that the dehumidifying system needs to be turned off prior to starting the lube oil pumps. Two hours after stopping the lube oil pumps the dehumidifier may be turned on again. Important! The number of pulses / turns required to keep the cylinder liner surface properly lubricated must be verified by visual inspections of the liner surface and piston ring package from the piston underside space. CLU-3 type lubricating system (if possible at yard stage!) Operate the manual/emergency cylinder lubrication for 10 15 minutes. During this time, keep the engine turning with the turning gear.
Retrofit Pulse and Pulse Lubricating System (RPLS & PLS) (if possible at yard stage!) Start the main lube oil pump and rotate the engine with the turning gear. Start the oil supply pump and set the delivery pressure to 12-14 bar by means of the oil supply units pressure regulating valve. Actuate manual cylinder lubrication. At such low pressure (normally 50 bar), the cylinder oil will not be injected but will flow along the liner wall. Give each cylinder approx. 100 pulses. During this time, keep the engine turning with the turning gear.
Pulse Feed Lubricating System (if possible at yard stage!) Start the main lube oil pump and rotate the engine with the turning gear. Start the control oil pump, or the Servo Oil Service pump on engines without control oil pumps, in order to provide hydraulic pressure for driving the dosage pumps. The lubricating system servo oil pressure has to be adjusted to 12 to 14 bar by means of the pressure regulating valves which are, depending on the execution, either located inside or just outside the rail unit. Start manual lubrication to individual cylinders. At such low pressure (normally 50 bar), the cylinder oil will not be injected but will flow along the liner wall. Give each cylinder approx. 100 pulses. During this time keep the engine turning with the turning gear.

The servo oil pressure needs not be reduced. Start manual lubrication to individual cylinders. Give each cylinder approx. 100 pulses.
In case the cooling water system has not been drained, the cooling water pumps need to be operated for around 20 minutes to get some circulation in the cooling system. Check the level of the corrosion-protective oil which has been filled into the fuel system (if required refill). The fuel linkage needs to be moved by hand; re-lubricate it if required. Check the recorded relative humidity and temperature inside the engine on the data logger. Open the drain cock of the turbocharger gas outlet casing for one minute (water check). Re-spray rust-preventive coating on piston rods if required.

Recovery of corroded parts
If there are signs of rust, the quality assurance department will decide whether additional work is necessary. If the traces of rust are only slight, they can be removed with emery cloth No. 220 (or finer) and petroleum. Repeat cleaning! If the parts are too heavily corroded, contact your next Wrtsil Ltd. Service Branch for further decision.

Tools needed for storage Dehumidifier
It is up to the engine maker or shipyard to decide which tools are used, as long as the technical properties/specifications are complying with the samples attached.
15.0.2
Introduction
The requirements on a dehumidifier system always depend on the engine type/size (volume to be dried) and the storage location (temperature and real humidity). On the following pages three recommended dehumidifier products are shown which are able to cover the Wrtsil 2-stroke engine portfolio, even in subtropical areas. The main task of a dehumidifier system is to maintain the real humidity inside the engine between 40% and 50%, in order to keep the level of corrosion as low as possible.
15.0.3
Engine volume overview
The list below can be used as a rough reference for the volume (crankcase, piston underside and camshaft housing) which needs to be dried in the engine. ~ Volume per cylinder in m (crankcase & scavenge air space & camshaft housings) RTA 48T/T-B RTA 52U/U-B RTA 58 RTA 58T/T-B RTA 62U/U-B RTA 68 RTA 68T-B RTA 72U/U-B RTA 76 RTA 84

Humidity and temperature control
During the lay-up a humidity and temperature data logger must be fitted to the crankcase, piston underside and camshaft housing/supply unit, in order to monitor the conditions inside the engine and check proper working of the dehumidifier system. Below is a recommendation for a tool which can be used for this purpose. 15.2.2 HygroLog NT3 Relative humidity, temperature, dew point or other calculated parameter Multi-probe capability, wide selection of probes to satisfy every application Measurements from 0 to 100%RH and -50..200C /-58..392F (with external probe) Optional internal humiditytemperature probe, protected against unauthorized removal Monitoring of up to two external contacts (door, relay contact, etc.) Optional LC display and multifunction keypad Large recording capacity with removable flash memory card Operates with a 9 VDC standard or rechargeable battery Data download without interrupting the measurements

21.2 Engine dismantling

Engines transported as part assemblies are to be systematically disassembled and cleaned using dry cloths. Each item is to be clearly identified with paint ball pen, similar indelible marker ink or figure and letter stamps, and protected from damage by careful crating as well as corrosion protected by rust preventing oils or paper (see section 21.1). To ensure correct reassembly and eliminate the risk of parts from one cylinder unit being fitted to another by mistake, it is indispensable that bearings and running gear are clearly marked cylinder by cylinder. Use a paint brush to apply high-viscosity rust preventing oil to the piston and connecting rods, crosshead guides, gear wheels, camshaft and rollers. Air powered spray guns are to be used only if the air is absolutely free of water. Crankshaft and crosshead pins are to be protected with an anti-corrosive coating of Tectyl 506 or a similar product.
21.3 Removing rust preventing oils

Rust preventing oils applied to the internal parts of an assembled engine do not contain thickening agents of wax or bitumen. These oils have properties similar to the engine lubricating oils, will wash off easily and mix without causing harm to the engine or its systems. Rust preventing oils of the wax-type applied to exposed surfaces of the engine components do contain thickening agents of wax or bitumen forming an anti-corrosion coating when applied, which has to be washed off using a proprietary cold cleaner. It is not sufficient to use gas oil, kerosene or white spirit on their own as solvents; they are to be mixed with 2 to 3 parts of a cold cleaner, such as Magnusol, Agitol or Emultan.
21-72
21.4 Engine installation

The alignment and chocking of the engine should be carried out in accordance with our recommendations and is subject to test and inspection by the relevant classification society. Each stage of the engine mounting is to be checked by qualified personnel and measurements cross-checked with the design figures. The responsible parties (e.g. shipyard) are to advise the representative of the engine builder or Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd. directly in the event of any discrepancies. Engines may be installed as complete units or assembled from sub-assemblies in the vessel, which may be afloat, in dry dock, or on the slipway. The engine alignment can be done with either jacking screws or wedges.
21.4.1 Installation and assembly of subassemblies

When the engine seating has been approved, the bedplate is lowered onto blocks placed between the chocking points. The thickness of the blocks depends on the final alignment of the engine. Engine bedplates comprise fabricated sections with drilled holes to allow the passing of the holding-down bolts and tapped holes for the jacking screws for engine alignment. Proceed with the preliminary alignment of the bedplate using one of the methods mentioned in section 21.4 to position the engine coupling flange to the intermediate shaft coupling flange. Ensure that the gap between both flanges is close to the calculated figures and that both flanges are exactly parallel on the horizontal plane (max. deviation 0.05 mm). In the vertical plane, the engine coupling flange is to be set 0.4 to 0.6 mm higher than the calculated figures. Place bearing caps in position, install turning gear and check that crankshaft deflections are as recorded on the Engine Assembly Records. To check the bedplate level in longitudinal and diagonal direction a taut-wire measuring device will be provided by the engine builder. Compare the readings with those recorded at works. Optical devices or lasers can also be used. All final dimensions are to be witnessed by the representatives of the engine builder and the classification society and to be recorded on appropriate log sheets. Crankshaft deflections at this stage are to correspond with the values recorded at works. Secure the bedplate temporarily against unexpected movement. Continue engine assembly by mounting the columns, cylinder blocks, running gear and scavenge air receiver, but ensure that the bearing caps are loose before tensioning the tie rods. Make periodic checks of the crankshaft deflections to observe and correct any possible engine distortions. Careful adjustments of the wedges or of the jacking screws are necessary to re-establish the preliminary alignment setting. Once the engine assembly is completed, the final alignment and chocking is carried out with the vessel afloat.
21-73
21.4.2 Installing a complete engine

In the event that the engine is shipped in part deliveries and assembled at the shipyard prior to installation in the vessel, the shipyard is to undertake the assembly work in accordance with the demands of a representative of the engine builder and the classification society. The engine mounting is to be carried out systematically and measurement readings taken, recorded on appropriate log sheets and compared for correctness with the data of the Engine Assembly Records completed after test run in the works of the manufacturer. NOTICE Strict attention is to be paid to the removal of anti-corrosion coatings and the subsequent application of rust preventing oil where required. The engine is to be lowered onto blocks placed between the chocking points. The alignment tools are to be clean and ready for use. Set the blocks in such a manner that the engine is slightly higher than the final position, because less effort is required to lower the engine than to raise it for alignment. For movements in the horizontal plane, both in lateral or longitudinal directions, the shipyard is to construct appropriate anchor points for the use of hydraulic jacks. Such movements have to be carried out with great care to avoid stresses and distortions to the bedplate. Regular crankshaft deflection readings have to be taken to observe the effects and any noticed deviations have to be rectified immediately.
21.4.3 Installing an engine from assembled subassemblies

Subassemblies of the engine may be assembled ashore prior to installation in the ship. One such assembly may comprise bedplate, main and thrust bearings, crankshaft, turning gear, and flywheel. The placing on blocks and alignment to shafting is analogue to the description in section 21.4.1.
21.4.4 Engine installation with ship on slipway

Installing complete or partially assembled engines in ships under construction on an inclined slipway is possible when careful attention is paid to the following: 1 Suspending large components to take account of the incline 2 Tie rods to be centred and exactly perpendicular to the bedplate before tightening 3 Fit temporary side, fore and aft arresters to prevent the engine from moving during launching 4 Attach additional temporary stays at the upper platform level to steady the engine during launching.

Introduction
Preface
This instruction aims to facilitate the complete alignment process, from the initial shafting arrangement design stage to the final normal ships service operation condition. The objective is an easy and trouble-free alignment by guiding through this process. The final goal is a safe and trouble-free propulsion system operation over the complete ships lifetime. The instruction contains different kinds of information: General information and background information to provide better technical understanding of alignment procedures Guidelines and guidance values, guiding through the alignment process Alignment limits which have to be kept in order to ensure safe propulsion system operation.
1.2
Validity of this instruction

This instruction is valid for direct-coupled Wrtsil two-stroke engines under the conditions mentioned in the following. A proper bearing arrangement is the prerequisite for proper engine and shaft alignment. Section 3, p.13 provides further information. If the bearing arrangement does not fulfil the mentioned requirements, the guidance values of this instruction are not applicable. All data mentioned in this instruction are only valid for standard installations of the mentioned Wrtsil two-stroke engines on board of seagoing vessels. The term standard installations means: the bearing arrangement fulfils the requirements defined in section 3, p.13 no additional heavy masses like shaft generators are installed on the shaft line.
In case of non-standard installations it is strongly recommended to contact Wrtsil 1 . However, even for standard installations it is not possible to cover all possible installation variants and their characteristics, as the ship design varies 2 . Therefore the given guidance values can only provide strong indication whether the alignment is acceptable or needs to be improved. In some special cases the guidance values might be exceeded, while the alignment is acceptable, and vice versa. In case of
1
Case-specific guidance values will be defined according to the basic approach of this instruction. Ship design in general, frame arrangement and design, properties of applied steel, tank arrangements, applied components, etc.

any doubts, Wrtsil can provide case-specific support. Wrtsil case-specific instructions supersede the general values provided in this document. All engine type-specific data provided in this instruction are valid for all crankshaft executions, e.g. FCV1, FCV2, FCV3. Finally, after ship delivery it is essential that under all normal operating conditions all bearings are statically loaded and the crankweb deflections do not exceed the admissible limits (= aim of alignment, as explained in following section 1.5, p. 6). The referred crankweb deflection limits are provided in table 7.1, p. 52, and the main bearing 3 load limits are provided in table 7.2, p. 53.
1.3
Responsibilities
It is the shipyards responsibility to guarantee that the final ship service requirements will be kept under all operation conditions. The referred crankweb deflection limits are provided in table 7.1, p. 52, and the main bearing load limits are provided in table 7.2, p. 53. Guidelines on how these requirements can be fulfilled are given in this instruction. However, Wrtsil does not take any responsibility for the correctness of these guidance values. As long as Wrtsil is not involved as direct contractual partner, Wrtsil will just provide technical support and issue comments if requested, e.g. whether an alignment condition meets Wrtsils expectations or not. Therefore Wrtsil only provides guidelines and proposals for the complete alignment process, but will not specify the exact way of working, as this remains within the shipyards responsibility.
1.4
Wrtsil alignment services

Wrtsil provides various services concerning the engine and shafting alignment of direct-coupled two-stroke marine diesel engines. Certain services, e.g. the review of the shafting arrangement during design stage, are free of charge, whereas other services, e.g. complete shafting alignment calculations, will be charged to the purchaser, except when otherwise stipulated. A special service exclusively provided by Wrtsil is the offer of a special alignment calculation program which includes all portfolio engines as full three-dimensional models for quick and easy alignment calculations. This program is provided on order and free of charge to Wrtsils licensees and shipyards installing a Wrtsil engine 4 . Further information concerning Wrtsil services can be found in the document Engine / Shafting Alignment - Scope of Services.

1.5
Aim of alignment
All bearings need to be statically loaded under all conditions! (The term all bearings refers to all shaft line bearings as well as to all engine main bearings.) In addition, all crankweb deflections engine stopped need to be within the service limits under all ship service conditions. In order to get this requirement fulfilled, the following three principles have to be considered, mentioned in sequence of decreasing priorities: 1. 2. The influences on bearing load distribution need to be kept small 6 . The various influences on the shaft line and the engine during the ships lifetime need to be considered in the alignment process, i.e. the expected changes due to the different influences 7 need to be pre-compensated. Take care of the new crankweb deflection limits during engine installation 8 .
3.
The main influence on the shafting system is the ships hull bending. It is obvious that the aft hull section of the engine bends downwards with increasing draught. The engine alignment in new ship buildings is performed at very light draughts and therefore the hull bending due to increasing draughts needs to be pre-compensated. The following figure shows a typical shaft bending line of an Aframax tanker. It is obvious that the aft end bends downward with increasing draught.
6 7 8
Please ask regularly, e.g. when starting a new project or about every 6 months, for updates in order to have up-to-date documentation at hand. See section 3, p. 13. Mainly ship hull bending; see figure 1.1, p. 7. Lowest priority: in some special cases Wrtsil might introduce case-specific limits.

The influence of hull bending on alignment is the greater, the smaller the distances between the bearings are. Therefore the distance between the bearings, especially between the aftmost engine main bearing and the foremost shaft line bearing, needs to be kept as long as possible. For further information please refer to section 3 (p. 13) regarding optimisation of the shaft bearing arrangement.

Further explanations of how to understand this illustration are provided in figure 4.2, p. 22, and in section 5.5.2, p. 40. In general most critical: mb #2 load at scantling or design draught as the bearing must not be unloaded.

Alignment in brief
The required steps for alignment are described below. Figure 2.1, p. 11, shows the alignment process diagram. Project stage: 1. 2. Optimise the bearing arrangement (see section 3, p. 13). Create the alignment layout calculation (see section 4, p. 15).
Dock condition: 3. Finalise the engine assembly: alignment does not start before the engine assembly is finalized 11 .
Afloat condition - before chocking the engine: 4. Align the shafts (propeller shaft and intermediate shafts) to each other as well as the engine 12 to the forward intermediate shaft by using the gap & sag method (see section 5.1, p. 28). Couple the shafts to each other and to the engine 13 . Alignment checks before pouring the chock fast: check the alignment by measuring the crankweb deflections for all cylinders (see section 5.4, p. 33) and the bearing loads for all shaft line bearings and engine main bearings #1, #2 and #3 14 (see section 5.5, p. 37). If the limits are exceeded or in case of doubt about the correct alignment 15 , readjust the alignment. If required, check the bedplate bending shape.

Engine assembly needs to be carried out according to the engine assembly instruction, i.e. especially a proper bedplate levelling is of utmost importance. If engine assembly is not carried out correctly, good engine alignment might become very difficult or even (almost) impossible! Before aligning the engine to the shafts, a reference crankweb deflection measurement might be taken according to shipyards experience. Alternatively the gap & sag alignment can be done step by step, starting from the aft. This means first of all that the gap & sag between propeller shaft and aft intermediate shaft is adjusted, followed by coupling of these shafts. Then all intermediate shafts are aligned and coupled accordingly. Finally the engine is aligned by gap & sag in relation to the forward intermediate shaft and coupled. In this case the alignment calculation needs to provide for all those gap & sag alignment steps. In some cases a load measurement for further main bearings might be required. More information can be found in section 5.5, p. 35. If needed, please contact Wrtsil for further support.

Afloat condition - chocking and fixation: 7. 8. 9. Weld the side stoppers in position; do not yet fit the side stopper wedges. Pour the resin cock under the engine. Install the chock under the shaft bearings. Alternatively this step could be carried out after the engine is bolted down and a preliminary alignment check has been performed. Bolt down the engine. Install the side stopper wedges.
10. 11.
Afloat condition - before ship delivery: 12. Alignment checks before ship delivery: Wrtsil recommends the same alignment checks as before chocking, at least for the first vessel of a ship series. The limits can be found in section 6, p. 45.
Afloat condition: after ship delivery / ship service: 13. Generally no alignment checks are required during normal ship service 16 . However, if anyway required 17 the limits given in section 7, p. 50, have to be applied.

Ship service means: after ship delivery, draught between normal ballast and scantling draught, engine stopped for measurements as a matter of course. Alignment check in normal ship service might be required in case of bearing failures or other alignment related abnormalities, like an extraordinary change of the crankweb deflections.

Summary: All bearings need to be loaded under all conditions! Therefore: Influences on alignment are to be kept as small as possible, i.e. optimised bearing distances are needed. Expected alignment changes due to the different influences during ship service need to be pre-compensated in the alignment process.

Shaft bearing arrangement / Optimum bearing distances

The key to a successful propulsion system installation is an optimized bearing arrangement. It is essential to optimise the distances 18 between the shaft line bearings as recommended by the following in order to avoid poor shaft and main bearing performances. In case of too long bearing distances the risk of whirling vibration with its negative effects will be increased. On the other hand, in case of too short bearing distances, the risk of excessive bearing load changes will be increased. In such cases the bearing design loads may easily exceed both the upper and the lower limits, even more down to totally unloaded bearings; this means the system will be out of its (approved!) design. The following problems may be expected in case of unloaded bearings: In case of totally unloaded shaft line bearings, the distance between the still loaded bearings may become too long, i.e. whirling vibration may become a problem. In case of a totally unloaded engine main bearing (usually main bearing #2), engine main bearing damage may occur, namely on the unloaded bearing itself or on another engine main bearing due to vibration effects, as the engine is then operated out of design. In addition, an unloaded bearing means that its load has to be carried by other bearings, which might then become overloaded.
Optimum shaft bearing distances are the most important prerequisite for proper alignment. On the one hand, too long bearing distances may, as mentioned, lead to whirling vibration, while on the other hand too short bearing distances cause excessive static bearing load changes due to ship hull bending. Furthermore, in case of too short bearing distances, the bearings are relatively low loaded and consequently the risk for unloading is quite significant. According to experience, designs with too long bearing distances are very seldom, but with too short distances oftentimes. The usual maximum limit for bearing distances can be calculated according to the following guidance formula 19 by putting the outer shaft diameter dshaft in millimetres, resulting in the maximum bearing distance xmax in millimetres:
x max = 450 d shaft
(3.1)
The following table gives an approximative overview on the recommended optimum bearing distances. However, for a detailed layout please apply formula 3.2.

Alignment layout calculation

From the engine installation aspect, the binding alignment layout calculation is created for the real alignment condition as it can be found on board the vessel, i.e. for very light draught conditions with engine cold and stopped (as it is not yet installed). During the installation process this allows referring directly to the calculation and finally makes it possible to compare the alignment measurement results directly with the calculation. However, the later ship operation conditions need to be considered in the layout calculation as well. From the shaft line installation aspect, the so called running condition is the most important calculation, as the influence of the propeller forces and moments on the shafting system can be checked. The aim is to achieve reliable static loads on all bearings in all ship service conditions. In the calculation the following influences need to be considered: Ship hull bending Engine temperature Propeller service forces.
Detailed information about ship hull bending, which could be used as an input for the alignment layout calculation, is usually not available. In such cases the ship hull bending needs to be considered based on experience. An increase of ship draught generally leads to a more hogging shape of the engine and shaft line foundation. This causes a load shift from main bearing #2 and to a very low extent also from main bearing #3 to main bearing #1. This means, the more ship hull bending is expected, the less load on main bearing #1 and the more load on main bearing #2 has to be adjusted. The following exemplary ship hull bending can be expected: VLCC and bulk carriers have most hull bending due to the huge difference between ballast and scantling draught. In the alignment layout calculation 20 and during the alignment process, loads just above zero should be adjusted for main bearing #1. Container vessels have less hull bending than VLCC and bulk carriers, but still significant. Gas tankers have quite limited hull bending. Car carriers have only very limited hull bending.
In those cases where the hull bending is known, the alignment calculation has also to be carried out for the alignment condition as mentioned before, but in addition it is possible to carry it out for any other service draught condition. At least the ballast

draught and scantling or service draught conditions should be calculated, as these are usually the conditions with the biggest hull bending difference during normal ship operation 21 . The alignment calculation results in the considered draught conditions must fulfil completely - i.e. including some safety margin - the service condition requirements as described in section 7.1.1, p. 50. In such cases it is not necessary to fulfil the recommended bearing loads for the alignment layout condition as provided in table 4.2, p. 23. Anyway, usually the alignment layout condition requirements will be fulfilled automatically. Engine and shaft alignment for new buildings is usually performed in an empty ship, thus at very light draught. For this condition a high static load needs to be designed for the engine main bearings #2 and #3. In contrast, a low static load should be designed for the aftmost main bearing #1. Table 4.2, p. 23, provides guidance values. In the alignment layout calculation the engine has to be considered as straight, even if it may be installed with some pre-sag. The reason is that: the practically adjusted bedplate pre-sag 22 is different compared to an idealised, calculated one the bedplate pre-sag measured at the bedplate sides is not identical to the main bearing offsets.
Experience has shown that the differences between the main bearing loads calculated for an idealised straight engine and the finally measured bearing loads are less, compared to bearing loads calculated for a pre-sagged engine. The offset machining 23 of engine main bearings #1 and #2 needs not be considered: the offset machining intends to compensate the influence of tie rod tightening on the main bearing offsets, i.e. after tightening the tie rods the offset machining finally results in equal main bearing offsets. Please consider the validity of this instruction as well as its guiding character, as mentioned in section 1, p. 4 at the beginning of this instruction.
21
22 23
In general the scantling draught is the most different condition. However, for some container ships experience has shown that the service draught condition is the most different compared to the alignment condition. Pre-sag is not required by Wrtsil. Please refer to section 5.2.2, p. 30. Depending on engine type.

Whirling calculation
Whirling calculations are required from the engines 24 perspective if: demanded by the classification society or other involved parties bearing distances exceed the normal maximum limit (see formula 3.1, p. 13) no forward stern tube bearing is installed shaft generator or shaft motor is installed in case of very low loaded shaft bearings (less than 15% of design load)
For all other cases no whirling calculation is needed from the engines perspective.
4.2
Calculation basics and definitions

Independent of which alignment calculation program is used, the following basics need to be taken into account: Stiffness of all bearings, i.e. shaft bearings as well as engine main bearings 25 ; as alignment is carried out in stopped condition, the static structure stiffness (without oil film) has to be taken. Bearing clearance, at least for the engine main bearings, as otherwise a low loaded main bearing might be calculated with negative load. The shaft line model used in the calculation program has to provide a realistic picture of the real installation. If the EnDyn alignment program is used, also the real bearing load measurement positions should be included, as this allows calculating the expected jack-load curves. A direct comparison between the jack-load curves calculated in the layout calculation and the really measured jack-load curves is possible. This is very helpful to evaluate the alignment.
24
25
Two-stroke engines perspective. In contrast, the whirling calculation is always needed for four-stroke installations. While non-observance of shaft bearing stiffness will just produce inaccurate calculation results, non-observance of main bearing stiffness may produce totally wrong results, i.e. even the load distribution trend might not be correct.

The definitions used in the calculation need to be clear: Definition of gap & sag, e.g. sag referring to the centre line or to the top sides of flanges. This consideration is important if the coupling flange pair has different diameters. Definition of reference / datum line, e.g. defined by the forward and aft stern tube bearings, by the main engine position, etc. Definition of bearing offset, e.g. difference between datum line and centre of unloaded bearing 26 .
4.3
Wrtsils alignment program EnDyn integrated engine models

It is strongly recommended to use the EnDyn calculation program for alignment layout calculations of Wrtsil two-stroke diesel engines, as it provides accurate and detailed results. The program incorporates the full three-dimensional FE based models of all actual portfolio RT-flex and RTA engines. No further modelling by the user is required, only the correct crankshaft type needs to be selected. Before starting a new project, it should be ensured that the latest release of the EnDyn program is available. The EnDyn calculation program can be ordered by licensees and shipyards free of charge (see also section 1.4, Wrtsil alignment services on page 5).
4.4
Two-dimensional crankshaft model

Two-dimensional 27 crankshaft models are provided for use, if other programs than EnDyn are used for preparing the alignment calculations. The relevant information is given in figure 4.1, p. 20, along with the data in table 4.1, p. 20. As common use, these models simulate the reduced stiffness of the crank by a cylinder of similar stiffness. The two-dimensional crankshaft model is also known under the name equivalent crankshaft model. However, a two-dimensional crankshaft model provides only a very limited picture of reality, as the content of information is quite limited. Consequently the results deviate from reality and therefore the naming equivalent crankshaft model might be misleading. The two-dimensional crankshaft models provide similar results 28 for static main bearing loads as obtained from the EnDyn integrated three-dimensional FE crankshaft models at crank angle (CA) 0 degree position (aftmost crankpin in top dead centre). But this applies only to the three aftmost engine main bearings.
26 27
28
This definition is used by Wrtsil. Two-dimensional under the aspect that just the element lengths and diameters are considered. It is essential to apply the model exactly as described in this instruction (e.g. considering the bearing stiffness), otherwise the calculation results are not valid!

However, some deviations compared to the results calculated with the EnDyn program 29 will occur. For main bearings #1 and #2 deviations of about 5% can be expected and up to about 10% for main bearing #3 in some special cases even more. The static loads calculated for main bearing #4 and main bearing #5 are not to be regarded, but these bearings need to be included in the calculation model in order to get correct results within the a.m. accuracy for main bearings #1 to #3. As the two-dimensional crankshaft models only consider symmetrical shafts and external loads, the following information cannot be gained from the calculation: Pre-calculation of the expected bearing load measurement curves (jack-up test). For such calculation a realistic calculation model considering the geometry of the cranks is required, e.g. as it is contained in the EnDyn program. Direct comparison between the calculated and measured static loads for main bearings #2 to #n (foremost main bearing). The reason is that the static main bearing load is different for different crank angles, i.e. while turning the engine with the turning gear, the static bearing loads are continuously changing. This is caused by the geometry of the cranks where the vertical bending stiffness depends on the crank angle position due to the crank geometry; contrary to that the vertical stiffness of a simple shaft is independent of the turning angle due to the symmetrical rotary geometry. The loads calculated by applying the twodimensional crankshaft model refer to the condition of 0CA, i.e. cylinder #1 in top dead centre position, as this is the reference condition 30 . Please refer to section 5.5.2, p. 40.
The two-dimensional crankshaft model consists of the following elements: Main coupling flange and thrust shaft Cylinders of similar stiffness in the range of the cranks Forces to simulate the masses of cranks, running gears, thrust collar and gear wheel (if arranged on thrust collar) Elastic main bearings with clearance.
The aft end of the crankshaft, including the three aft cylinders, are modelled according to the syntax of the alignment calculation program.
29
30
The results gained from the three-dimensional calculation model are very realistic and can be considered as reference. The sum of all static bearing loads in one crank angle position, e.g. 0CA, refers directly to the masses carried by the bearings. However, the sum of all measured static (main) bearing loads does not directly refer to the related masses, as the measurements are taken at different crank angles.

It is mandatory to use the full two-dimensional crankshaft model as described in figure 4.1, p. 20, and above table 4.1. This includes the aftmost main bearing #1 up to main bearing #5 as well as their elastic supports. The elasticity of the main bearing supports refers to stopped conditions that means no oil film is considered, corresponding to the actual condition during the alignment process and the jack-up tests. Alignment calculations which do not consider the correct elasticity of engine main bearing supports are wrong and consequently cannot be judged with the Wrtsil limits and recommendations.
4.5
Calculation for cold condition

This is the calculation for the condition at which the real alignment will be carried out.
4.5.1
Basic principle: main bearing load distribution

As introduced in section 4, p. 15, the ship hull bending influence on the bearing loads needs to be pre-compensated by adjusting the appropriate bearing loads during the alignment process. It is expected that static load will be transferred from main bearing #2 and to a limited degree also from main bearing #3 to main bearing #1. The expected extent of total load shift depends on the shaft arrangement and the vessel type, i.e.: the closer the distance between main bearing #1 and the foremost intermediate bearing, the more load shift is expected the bigger the difference between alignment and scantling draught, the more load shift is expected.
Consequently, in the alignment layout calculation low load has to be defined for main bearing #1; the less load, the more load change is expected. Figure 4.2 below gives a simplified general overview on the recommended bearing load 31 distribution between main bearings #1 to #3.

4.5.2 Recommended static main bearing loads, alignment layout calculation condition
(4.2)
The recommended main bearing loads for alignment layout calculations of new buildings are provided for guidance in order to achieve a good static main bearing load distribution. They refer to a ship afloat at light ballast draught and the engine in cold / stopped condition as this is the physically existing condition during final alignment 32 . However, more important than the calculated absolute bearing loads is the before mentioned main bearing load distribution, see previous section 4.5.1, p. 21.
32
For engine alignment calculation only the cold, stopped condition needs to comply with the recommended bearing loads. The calculation for hot condition as well as for hot running condition is for reference only, i.e. to verify the layout and to get information about the sensitivity of the shafting system to changes. If the changes between the cold and hot condition are significant, the shaft arrangement should be checked and optimized as explained in section 3, p. 13.

Calculation for hot condition

The alignment layout calculation for hot condition considers the following: the thermal rise of the engine main bearings
It is possible to consider in addition the thermal rise of the shaft bearings. However, as the distances between the shaft bearings are quite long, this influence can be usually neglected. Otherwise, the shaft bearing thermal rise has to be considered analogous as described in the following for the main bearings. The recommended static loads provided in previous table 4.2 are valid for new buildings at very light ship draught in cold/stopped condition. The results of alignment layout calculations which refer to cold/stopped condition are used to align the shafts and the engine. Also the verification of alignment before chocking and fixation refers to cold / stopped condition at very light ship draught. Additional conditions contained in the alignment layout calculations are calculated for verifying the alignment result. The hot condition calculation provides information about the sensitivity of the shafting system regarding the thermal rise hmb of the engine main bearings. If the changes between the cold and hot condition are significant, the shaft arrangement should be checked and optimized as explained in section 3, p. 13.

Calculation for running condition

The alignment layout calculation for the running condition considers the following service-related forces and moments: The thermal rise of the engine main bearings The maximum axial propeller thrust The maximum bending moment at the propeller due to the propeller thrust eccentricity The maximum bending moment at the thrust bearing due to the thrust bearing eccentricity.
This calculation is the most important calculation under the aspect of shaft bearing alignment, as the alignment is verified under consideration of the following influences: The bending moment produced by the propeller thrust eccentricity as well as the propeller service forces, which will mainly shift static bearing load from the aft stern tube bearing to the next forward bearing, i.e. to the forward stern tube bearing or the next intermediate bearing, if no forward stern tube bearing is installed. Also some minor changes on the more forward bearings can be seen. In addition the misalignment between propeller shaft and the aft, respectively the forward stern tube bearing, will change. The bending moment produced by the thrust bearing eccentricity, which will reduce the static load of the intermediate bearing next to the engine.
It has to be checked that under this condition the bearing loads are still within the allowable range. However, the alignment layout calculation for running condition is not of much importance from the engines point of view. This is due to the fact that the alignment calculation is a static calculation; gas and mass forces from the engine are not taken into account. Therefore the calculated main bearing loads are not realistic and this calculation provides only very limited information. Based on that, a calculation result with unloaded main bearing #1 is fully acceptable. In contrast, calculated negative bearing loads 36 are not acceptable. However, the full propeller thrust condition will not act at alignment draught condition, but at full draught condition. Consequently the result can only provide a general indication regarding the safety margin of the installation.

Alignment steps and alignment checks before chocking

Before starting the final alignment, the engine has to be finally assembled and the main ship components, especially the superstructure, need to be installed and finally welded. In addition all major welding operations in the vicinity of the engine have to be completed. For all alignment measurements it is important to keep the external influences on the measurement as limited as possible. This means that: draught changes during the measurements have to be avoided as far as possible, i.e. no ballasting operation, no movement of heavy parts like hatch covers, etc. local heat sources have to be avoided, i.e. lubricating oil sump tank heater has to be shut off, no welding works in vicinity of the propulsion system, etc.
It is strongly recommended to carry out the final alignment in afloat condition 37 ! Please consider the validity of this instruction as well as its guiding characteristic as described in section 1, p. 4 at the beginning of this instruction. An overview of the alignment steps is given in section 2, p. 9 and by the alignment process diagram in figure 2.1, p. 11.
5.1
Shaft and engine alignment by gap & sag method

Propeller and intermediate shafts are aligned to each other by applying the gap & sag method, i.e. the uncoupled shaft flanges are aligned to each other in such a way that the vertical gap & sag between the flanges comply with those of the alignment layout calculation. In the horizontal plane the shaft line has to be aligned straight, i.e. the horizontal gap & sag values have to be zero. Before starting the gap & sag alignment, a reference crankweb deflection measurement might be taken according to shipyards experience.
37
It is within the responsibility of the shipyard to carry out the final alignment including chocking of the engine according to their experience already gained at the dry dock. However, the risk of a possibly required re-chocking has to be born in mind.

flange gap
Figure 5.1: definition of flange gap & sag.
The following tolerances should be applied between the adjusted gap & sag values and the calculated vertical and the targeted zero horizontal values respectively: Gap tolerance: 0.05 mm Sag tolerance: 0.10 mm
In general two different procedures for gap & sag alignment are possible: Adjusting of each single flange connection according to the calculated values, starting from the aftmost flange connection followed by direct coupling after each adjustment. After coupling, the next forward shaft has to be aligned in relation to the already coupled shaft line; no changes of any bearing offset of the already coupled shaft are allowed. Adjusting of all flange connections before starting with any coupling. After the shafts are aligned to each other, all flanges will be coupled; no further adjustments are allowed at the coupling stage.
If temporary supports need to be removed for the step-by-step method, a higher error rate may be expected, as it is very difficult to consider the correct temporary support stiffness in the alignment layout calculation. Therefore it is recommended in such cases to prepare all flange connections according to calculation before starting the coupling process. Anyway the coupling should be started aft. For control after each coupling, the gap & sag values of the next flange connection can be checked and compared with the calculation of this coupling stage, if available. This may help to find some coupling errors before the whole coupling is finalized.

5.2
Bedplate bending curves

The bedplate of an engine installed in the ship is not always ideally straight. This is caused mainly by: the influence of engine temperature the installation tolerances the ship hull bending.
In general an ideal straight bedplate can be considered as being the optimum for engine operation. However, more important than straightness is that the bedplate bending line is as smooth as possible, i.e. without kinks. From the alignment point of view the interesting thing is not the bedplate bending itself, but its influence on the main bearing offsets. However, measuring the main bearing offsets directly is not possible, but it is possible to measure the bedplate bending shape on both sides of the bedplate by a piano wire or laser measurement. However, direct information regarding the bearing offsets can be obtained by analysing the crankweb deflection measurement results together with the bearing load measurement results, as it is done by Wrtsil, if a review of the alignment measurement results is ordered. Therefore the bedplate sag measurement has a negligible priority regarding the final alignment check criteria and consequently Wrtsil does not ask any longer for the bedplate measurement as a criterion for alignment approval (please refer to figure 2.1, p. 11). The main function of the bedplate bending measurement is to find the possible reasons if horizontal or vertical crankweb deflections as well as bearing loads are not within the required range. This means, the measurement of the engine bedplate shape can be considered as a tool for getting the alignment properly done.

5.2.2
Engine pre-sag
As the bedplate bending shape will change to hogging for hot condition, the engines may be installed with some pre-sag for pre-compensating the expected change. However, as long as all crankweb deflections are within the limits, no special care for engine pre-sag is required. More positive crankweb deflections 38 of cylinders #2 to #n-1, measured before chocking, give an indication that the engine is pre-sagged. Experience has shown that more important than pre-sagging is that the bedplate bending is as smooth as possible, i.e. the variation from one main bearing measurement position to the next is as low as possible in relation to the actual sag curve. Consequently the pre-sag measurement is not any longer a check criterion for alignment confirmation. It is not at all recommended to support the engine only in its four corner positions in order to adjust a pre-sag. This is of disadvantage in the aspect of smooth engine bending. It is much more preferable to have less or no pre-sag instead of distorting the bedplate. The engine has to be supported by all supporting points (wedges or jacking screws), as indicated on the engine installation drawings.
5.2.3
Bedplate bending measurement: piano-wire or laser measurement

The engine bedplate bending measurement is no longer a check criterion for alignment confirmation. However, this measurement should be considered as a perfect tool for aligning the engine. The bedplate bending measurement is recommended in case the alignment criteria bearing load distribution and / or crankweb deflections exceed the limits and the reason for that needs to be investigated further (see also the alignment process diagram in figure 2.1, p. 11). Exceeding vertical crankweb deflections as well as unexpected bearing load distributions might be reflected in a sharp upward respectively downward bending change. Correcting the engine bending shape can help solving the problem. Exceeding horizontal crankweb deflections which are not caused by an improper horizontal alignment between engine and shaft might be reflected in different bending shapes on both of the engines longitudinal sides. Correcting the engine bending to similar shapes on both longitudinal sides can help solving the problem.
5.3
Static shaft bearing loads, before chocking condition

The static loads of all shaft bearings except the aft stern tube bearing which is not accessible need to be checked by jack-up test measurements. The loads must comply with the alignment layout calculation. Usually this is considered as being the case if the measured loads are within a tolerance range of 20% of the loads determined by the alignment layout calculation.

It is essential to carry out these measurements directly before or after the engine alignment checks and under the same measurement conditions, i.e. same draught, same temperature conditions (engine, tanks in vicinity), etc. Taking such complete sets of measurements is needed as engine, shaft line and propeller make up one common propulsion system 39 ; consequently this also needs to be considered as one system during the evaluation. Hence Wrtsil asks for information about the shafting system as well as the shaft bearing load measurement results, if Wrtsil is required to review the engine alignment. However, the shaft alignment is not within the responsibility of Wrtsil Switzerland.
5.4
Crankweb deflection limits for new alignment, before chocking condition

The absolute crankweb deflection limits are increasing from the most strict testbed reference measurement condition 40 to the final ship service condition 41 . Compared to the absolute crankweb deflection limits for final service, the before chocking condition limits are still quite strict. This is to provide sufficient reserves for later changes produced by the influences of engine operation and ship hull bending. The absolute vertical and horizontal crankweb deflections indicate different aspects: The absolute vertical crankweb deflections are related to the main bearing offsets and by that to the static main bearing loads. The absolute horizontal crankweb deflections indicate the twisting of the engine housing, which has to be avoided. Therefore the limits for the absolute horizontal crankweb deflections are of utmost importance and as a consequence more stringent than those for the absolute vertical crankweb deflections.
The main purpose of the crankweb deflection limits is to ensure proper engine running behaviour.

These three parts are coupled rigidly, i.e. without any flexible coupling or gear. This measurement is taken from the uncoupled cold engine on the testbed as a basic reference. This is the maximum which must not be exceeded. Exception: Wrtsil provided casespecific values, based on detailed case-specific investigations.

5.4.1
Validity of new alignment crankweb deflection limits

These limits are valid for the completely assembled engine on board the afloat vessel 42 before chocking the engine. The flywheel is installed and the tie rods are correctly tightened according to latest engine assembly instruction. The engine is cold and coupled to the shaft line, i.e. all intermediate and propeller shafts are coupled and temporary supports are removed. No tank heating close or below the engine is active. These limits are not valid for any other measurements on board the vessel 43 .
5.4.2
Description of new alignment crankweb deflection limits

Compared to the limits for the inner cylinders, the positive 44 vertical crankweb deflection limit for cylinder #1 is increased to more positive. This is due to the typical shaft bending line at alignment condition, see figure 1.1, p. 7. The described shaft line shape is a result of pre-compensating the expected ship hull bending at increased draught conditions; usually the ship hull bending at increasing draught conditions causes decreasing (less positive) cylinder #1 crankweb deflections. The vertical crankweb deflection limit for the foremost engine free-end cylinder allows more negative values in case of an installed external mass like a T/V damper or a front disc, as the more negative crankweb deflection is caused by the bending moment created by the external mass. This is fully acceptable and even more required in order to keep all main bearings statically properly loaded. It has to be kept in mind that the crankweb deflection measurement results provide quite complex information. Therefore the limits provided in this document may not cover all possible installation cases and situations. Hence Wrtsil may provide case-specific limits, if indicated 45 . For the vertical as well as for the horizontal crankweb deflections, the maximum deviations between two adjacent crankweb deflections have to be checked. The maximum values provided in the deflection limit tables have an indicator function 46 , as huge deviations between two adjacent cylinders give the indication that there might be some deficiencies. In such cases further investigations are required; Wrtsil should be contacted. Depending on the particular investigation results, the crankweb deflections might be accepted or countermeasures might be recommended. These additional limits

made the increased new crankweb deflection limits possible, as they will indicate most harmful deflections. For applying the new limits, the following should be kept in mind: The new absolute crankweb deflection limits have to be considered as final acceptance criteria. The newly introduced limits for the maximum deviation between the crankweb deflections of two adjacent cylinders are no final acceptance criteria, provided the results of the particularly required further investigations are positive.

In this case the maximum absolute deviation between the deflection values of the two foremost vertical crankwebs might be exceeded. If so, the bearing loads of the two foremost main bearings have to be checked. Provided the bearing loads are within the limit, no counter-actions are required.

*1 The given values are for guidance only. More important than the absolute main bearing loads is the relative load distribution between the bearings, as explained in section 4.5.1, p.21 and illustrated in figure 4.2, p. 22. The measured bearing loads have to be similar to those determined in the alignment layout calculation. *2 The lower and upper values refer to the installation type and should not be considered as recommended tolerance ranges! The following has to be considered: Lower value: target if distance between engine and next shaft line bearing is short 49 and / or a heavy flywheel is installed. Upper value: target if distance between engine and next shaft line bearing is long49 and / or a light flywheel is installed. *3 mb #3 load should be 60% of mb #2 load. Table 5.2: recommended static loads [kN] for alignment in new buildings at cold/stopped condition.

Before chocking usually just mb #1 to #3 are measured, except if the maximum absolute vertical crankweb deflection deviation between two adjacent cranks has been exceeded or Wrtsil recommends further case-specific measurements. These minimum values have to be kept for any crank angle position. As defined in formula 3.3, p. 14.

Jack correction factors

The jack correction factors provided by the alignment layout calculation should be used for the evaluation of static bearing loads. EnDyn provides jack correction factors for the shaft bearings according to the userdefined jack positions and for the engine main bearings as defined by its integrated crankshaft models of Wrtsil RT-flex and RTA engines. However, if the alignment layout calculation was created with any other programs, then the average jack correction factors provided by table 5.3, p. 38, should be applied.

aftmost mb1 mb2 (fwd) mb3 (aft)

Table 5.3: average jack correction factors 51 .
The jack correction factor depends not only on the arrangement of jack and gauge positions in relation to the bearings, but also on the bearing load distribution. While for most bearings the jack correction factor changes only within the negligible range of 0.1 due to different load distributions, the jack correction factor of main bearing #2 may change significantly: If main bearing #1 is very low loaded, it will lift off prior to main bearing #2. In this case a steep inclination can be expected for the analyse line of main bearing #2 load and the correction factor is usually within the range of 0.8-0.9. This is usually only the case in very light draught conditions as found before or shortly after chocking the engine.
50 51
See the following explanation. In short: if mb #1 is very low loaded: 0.8; otherwise: 1.2. Only to be applied if not provided by alignment calculation.

5.5.2
Influence of crank angle on bearing load

The main bearing loads vary depending on the crank angle (CA). The reason for this can be found in the geometry of the cranks which causes non-rotary symmetrical stiffness of the cranks, i.e. the crankshaft stiffness between the bearings is different for different crank angles and consequently the bearing load distribution is different. Therefore a reference condition is defined which refers to 0 CA, i.e. cylinder #1 in top dead centre position. The total extent of each bearings load range within one 360 rotation is indicated on the EnDyn calculation output graphics by a grey load range field. The cylinder #1 top dead centre position (TDC) which refers to 0 CA is marked by the longer red centre line. The shorter red lines on the left and right sides in the grey box mark the main bearing loads at jack-up test condition, i.e. on the left side for jack-up test from the main bearings aft side and on the right side for the jack-up test from the main bearings forward side. As main bearing #1 can only be measured from aft side, the line on the right side is omitted, and the left line accordingly for main bearing #2, as this bearing can only be measured from forward side. The following figure 5.6 shows an example of the vertical bearing load graphic as provided by EnDyn, but reduced to just the aft main bearings #1 to #3.

Main bearing #1 load is measured at 0 CA (reference condition) position and therefore the measured load refers directly to the calculated load. However, the jack-up tests for main bearings #2 and #3 are usually carried out with the aftmost crankpin on exhaust side, as indicated in the bearing load graphics. For these jack-up test conditions the bearing loads generally deviate compared to 0CA as follows: Mb #2: lower 52 static bearing load 53 , close to the minimum of the one-revolution load range. Mb #3: higher 54 static bearing load53, close to the maximum of the one-revolution load range. The extent of the bearing load change depends on the engine type as well as the current situation (bending moments in the crankshaft). In general the range of expected load change within one 360 rotation is less for main bearing #2 than for main bearing #3. The following two figures provide the related relative maximum and minimum ranges.

In most cases between 80% and 90% of reference load for high-loaded bearing #2 as requested for the layout condition. In case of low-loaded main bearing #2, the load might be reduced to 0%, i.e. unloaded. Static bearing load = jack load multiplied by the jack correction factor. Depending on engine type and current situation (bending moments in the crankshaft), usually a variation within the range of 15% to 70% can be expected, as long as main bearing #3 is loaded as recommended. EnDyn alignment layout calculation helps at least to know the influence of the engine type. Advanced analyses support is provided on request by Wrtsil.

Chocking and fixation

Before pouring the resin chock under the engine, the engine side stoppers have to be placed in their final positions. The correct heights and the minimum contact surfaces as given in the relevant side stopper drawings have to be ensured. The chocking of the engine has to be prepared as described in the Marine Installation Manual (MIM). It is important that the epoxy resin material (chock) meets the defined properties. Then chock the engine, following the pouring procedure of the epoxy resin manufacturers instructions. Also the shaft bearings need to be chocked, either by pouring epoxy resin chocks or by installing metal chocks. It is possible to do that as a final installation step, after a preliminary alignment check after engine fixation has been carried out. The advantage of performing that step as last step is that some minor errors occurred during the engine chocking and fixation process can be corrected. However, the extent of such a correction has to be considered as very limited and should not counter-act any accurate working procedure. Therefore it is also suitable to do this along with engine chocking. After the time required for resin chock hardening has elapsed, the engine holding-down bolts have to be tightened. For tightening the holding-down studs, please follow the instruction on the relevant drawing. Finally the side stopper wedges need to be fitted.

Alignment checks for commissioning / ship delivery

The limits for crankweb deflections and static main bearing loads should be maintained at ships commissioning, i.e. just before, during or after sea trial, when the ship is afloat and ready for operation. The ship has a normal draught and trim within the limits for normal ship service. The measurements can be taken almost straight after stopping the engine 55 or with the engine already cooled down, but in all cases the engine temperature (crankshaft temperature, e.g. measured by a handheld infrared thermometer) needs to be recorded for reference. More important than the engine temperature itself is an equal longitudinal temperature of the engine and the engine foundation / sump tank in the aft half of the engine as this is the case during normal engine operation. Therefore it is essential to stop the sump tank preheater early before starting the measurements otherwise unequal temperature distribution will cause unequal thermal rise and by that unequal main bearing offsets, which may cause inacceptable main bearing load distribution.
6.1
Static shaft bearing loads, commissioning / ship delivery condition

The same requirements as mentioned in section 5.3, p. 32, have to be fulfilled.
6.2 6.2.1
Crankweb deflections, commissioning / ship delivery condition Validity of crankweb deflection limits for commissioning / ship delivery
These limits are valid for the completely assembled engine on board the afloat vessel at commissioning / delivery of the ship to the owner, i.e. usually directly before, during and after the sea trial. The engine is hot or cold. The draught is within the normal ship operation limits. The lubricating oil sump tank heating has to be inactive in order to avoid any local heat spot below the engine, which does not exist under normal engine operation condition. These limits can be applied for additional measurements after chocking the engine. However, if the ship has not yet been in operation, the limit should not be maxed out, as influences of settling effects cannot be predicted exactly. These limits are not valid for the condition before chocking.
6.2.2
Description of crankweb deflection limits for commissioning / ship delivery

The limits are defined close to the normal ship service limits. However, some reserve for the unexpected is kept.

Please consider the safety advices provided in the Maintenance Manual.

The negative crankweb deflection limit of the foremost cylinder is increased in case of installed external masses like T/V damper or front disc, as the negative crankweb deflection is caused by the bending moment produced by an external mass. This is fully acceptable and - even more - required in order to keep all main bearings statically properly loaded, which has top priority.

Alignment checks during normal ships service

Usually no detailed alignment checks during normal ships service are needed! Regular crankweb deflection measurements following the intervals defined by the class rules are sufficient. Only in case of abnormalities, like sudden change of crankweb deflection measurement results, bearing temperature alarms or bearing damages, detailed alignment measurements might become necessary. In any such cases it is recommended to contact Wrtsil for further support.

Crankweb deflection limits for normal ships service Validity of crankweb deflection limits for normal ships service
The limits for normal ships service are valid for any condition of ships service, i.e. after ship delivery, vessel afloat. The engine is hot or cold.
7.1.2
Description of crankweb deflection limits for normal ships service

The main purpose of the vertical crankweb deflection limits is to ensure that all main bearings are statically properly loaded. The main purpose of the horizontal crankweb deflection limits is to ensure that the engine housing is not twisted. The crankweb deflections are affected by: the difference in temperature between the lubricating oil sump tank and the seawater the engine temperature the draught.
Therefore the measured crankweb deflections need to be considered along with the a.m. conditions. On any measurement protocol at least the engine temperature (in crankcase / at crankshaft) and the draught need to be mentioned. As the draught change has its main influence on the aft cylinder #1, the permissible range of crankweb deflection for cylinder #1 is wider compared to the other cylinders. Another aspect of the maximum allowed crankweb deflections is the limitation of the crankshaft stress. However, this aspect can be neglected as the limits are defined even more strictly for the above mentioned reasons.

In this case the maximum absolute deviation between the deflection values of the two foremost crankwebs might be exceeded. If so, the bearing loads of the two foremost main bearings have to be checked. Provided the bearing loads are within the limit, no counteractions are required.

Minimum main bearing load in ships service condition under any draught condition
As already stated in the introduction, section 1.5, p. 6, all main bearings need to be statically loaded under all normal ships service operation conditions after ship delivery, i.e. at all draught conditions between ballast draught and scantling draught, engine hot or cold. The minimum bearing loads which have to be reached are given in the following table. Reaching the minimum bearing loads is the finally binding bearing load requirement for alignment. For jack correction factors and the crank angle influence on the bearing load, please refer to section 5.5.1, p. 38 and section 5.5.2, p. 40 respectively.

In general the scantling draught (=maximum draught) condition is the most critical condition for fulfilling the minimum main bearing load requirements as stated in the above table 7.2, because at this condition the ship hull bending usually diverges the most from the alignment condition. Therefore, in case an in-service alignment check is required, it may be reasonable to do so under scantling draught condition.
