For Particular Attention

1. General

This manual is for the operator and is for use only for the related type of diesel en-
gine (the engine described in this manual). The data in this manual is confidential.
Make sure that you read carefully the Operation Manual before you operate the
engine.
Make sure that you know the Inspection and Overhaul intervals in the Maintenance
Manual before you operate the engine.
Make sure that you read the data in Group 0 in the Maintenance Manual before you
do maintenance work on the engine.

2. Spare Parts

Use only original spare parts and components to make sure that the engine will
continue to operate satisfactorily. All equipment and tools for maintenance and op-
eration must be serviceable and in good condition.
The extent of all supplies and services is set exclusively to the related supply con-
tract.

3. Data

The specifications and recommendations of the classification societies, which are


essential for the design, are included in this manual.
The data, instructions, graphics and illustrations etc. in this manual are related to
drawings from Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. (WinGD). These data relate to the date
of issue of the manual (the year of the issue is shown on the title page). All instruc-
tions, graphics and illustrations etc can change because of continuous new devel-
opment and modifications.

4. Personnel

Only qualified personnel that have the applicable knowledge and training must do
work on the engine, its systems and related auxiliary equipment.
Data related to protection against danger and damage to equipment are specified
in this manual as Warnings and Cautions.

Operation 0010−1/A1
General
Preface

1. Summary

The documentation for this diesel engine type comprises the following books and
publications:

1.1 Operating Manual


This contains data about engine operation, the required operating media (oil,
water and fuel), as well as a description of the function of specific systems.

1.2 Maintenance Manual


This contains, in addition to the maintenance diagrams, information covering
specific dismantling and assembly work necessary for engine maintenance.
It contains furthermore a masses (weight) table of certain individual parts, a
clearance table, a list of rubber / O-rings, tightening values for important screwed
connections and a tools list.

1.3 Code Book (spare parts catalogue)


In this book all parts are marked with a code number by which they can be ordered
from Wärtsilä Services Switzerland Ltd or the engine supplier. Such spare parts
are to be ordered exclusively from this book.

1.4 Documentation for bought-out items


Separate publications are provided for those items on the engine supplied by
outside manufacturers, such as turbocharger, automatic filter, torsional vibration
damper, etc. In most cases these can also be used as a spare parts catalogue.

1.5 Records and drawings


With the first delivery of the documentation, the setting tables, shop trial
documents and surveyor’s certificates of the related engine and the schematic
diagrams are also supplied.

2. Structure of the manuals

Generally the manuals have to be regarded as Basic Manuals. They describe


particularly the standard engine with all cylinder numbers, alternative design
executions and special equipment.
As a rule, in the case of alternative design executions the descriptions are divided
into separate groups and clearly designated by the respective alternative names.
This allows on one hand to quickly find with certainty the respective passages, on
the other hand it allows the later removal of sheets of not supplied alternatives and
special executions.
Further indications can be found under Explanation on the Use of the Operating
Manual 0040−1.

3. Repeat-order of technical documentation

Remark: Corresponding to the continuing development of the engines the


documentation is continually being updated.
This means that in a later ordered manual for the same engine, text and
designations may no longer coincide in every way with the previous version (see
modification date on the relevant pages).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, important information and improvements are
brought to the customer’s notice by ’Service Bulletins’ so that the relevant part of
any development should already be known.
When ordering documentation at a later stage for engines which have already
been in operation since several years, the following details are basically required:
D Engine type, year of manufacture and engine manufacturer
D Name of vessel or site of installation
D Cylinder or engine number
D Special equipment
D Form of documentation (printed Manuals or CD-ROM)

Short Description of the Engine

1. General

General data about the engine are given as follows:


− The RT−flex engine is a single acting two-stroke diesel engine of crosshead
design with exhaust gas turbocharging and uniflow scavenging.
− The engine is reversible and is directly connected to the propeller.
− The RT−flex concept is based on the Wärtsilä Common Rail, with full
electronic control of fuel injection and exhaust valve operation.
− The engine control can have different remote controls, which are related to
our specifications, from recommended manufacturers.
− If the remote control has a failure, the engine can be controlled with the
emergency control from the local control panel.
− Tie rods hold the bedplate, columns and cylinder block together.
− A partition isolates the crankcase from the cylinder block. This partition
includes the piston rod glands for the piston rods.
− The thrust bearing and turning gear are installed on the driving end of the
engine.
− The engine control system WECS−9520 controls the exhaust valve
operation, the electronic fuel injection and the cylinder lubricating system.
− The lubrication oil, coolant water, fuel supply, booster pumps and air
compressors are parts of the engine room installation (ancillary systems).

2. Systems

General data about the systems are given as follows:


− The servo oil system opens the exhaust valves hydraulically. The exhaust
valves are closed pneumatically.
− Servo oil pumps in the supply unit supply bearing oil at the necessary
pressure through two high pressure (HP) fuel pipes to the servo oil rail.
− Bearing oil cools the pistons.
− The fuel pumps in the supply unit supply high pressure fuel through the HP
fuel pipes to the fuel rail. The fuel rail supplies fuel at high pressure to all the
injection valves.
− The servo oil system operates the injection control units.
− Fresh water cools the cylinder liners and cylinder covers.
− The central fresh water cooling system (closed circuit), or the conventional
sea-water cooling system (direct) with single-stage coolers are used to cool
the scavenge air.
− The WECS−9520 controls the engine start sequence. Compressed air flows
through the starting valve into the cylinders to start the engine.
− The exhaust gases flow from the cylinders through the exhaust valves into an
exhaust gas manifold.
− The exhaust gas turbochargers operate on the constant pressure charging
principle.
− The scavenge air from the turbocharger flows through the air cooler and water
separator into the air receiver. This air then flows through air flaps and
scavenge ports when the pistons are almost at BDC.
− At low loads, independently operated auxiliary blowers supply air to the
scavenge air space.

General
Working Principle of the Two-stroke Diesel Engine

First Stroke (Compression):


− The piston is at Bottom Dead Center (BDC).
− The scavenge ports and exhaust valve open.
− Scavenge air flows into the cylinder and pushes the exhaust gases through
the exhaust valve into the exhaust gas manifold and then to the turbocharger.
− The piston moves up.
Point ES:
− The piston covers the scavenge ports.
Point AS:
− The exhaust valve closes and compression starts, which heats the air.

Second Stroke (Ignition − Combustion − Expansion − Exhaust − Scavenging):


− When the piston is almost at Top Dead Centre (TDC), fuel is injected into the
cylinder.
− The fuel ignites in the compressed, heated air and then combustion starts.
− The gases expand and push the piston down (working stroke).
Point AO:
− The exhaust valve opens, exhaust gas flows out of the cylinder into the
exhaust gas manifold.
Point EO:
− The piston continues to move down to let air in through the scavenge ports.
− Scavenge air flows into the cylinder and pushes the exhaust gas through the
exhaust valve into the exhaust gas manifold and then to the turbocharger.
(See also the schematic diagram of Turbocharging 6500−1).

General
The Relation between Engine and Propeller

1. General

There is a specified relation between the propeller speed and the absorbed power
in ships that have fixed pitch propellers. The relation is between the propeller and
the speed at which it turns.
The formula that follows gives an approximate result, which is sufficient for
conventional vessels:
3
P1 n1
=
P2 n2

The graph from this formula is known as the propeller characteristic.


If the engine is in good condition, correctly supplied with air (i.e. turbocharger(s)
are in good condition and the resistance of the air and exhaust lines is within the
specifications) and the fuel injection quantity is correctly adjusted (see the
shoptest protocol), then the mean effective pressure (mep) developed under
service conditions (in accordance with the specified load indication), is related to
the approximate mep for this particular position on the test bed.
In the diagram (see paragraph 2), the propeller characteristic line through the
CMCR point (100% power at 100% engine speed) is known as the nominal
propeller characteristic. Engines which are to be used for the propulsion of vessels
with fixed propellers have a load applied on the test bed in accordance with this
propeller characteristic. However, during sea trial of a new ship with a smooth and
clean hull, the power requirement is lower and the operation point is below the
nominal propeller characteristic.
During service, a higher torque will be necessary for the propeller to keep its speed
than at the time of the sea trial (sea margin) because:
− there are changes in wake flow conditions because of marine growth on
the hull
− the cargo load has an effect on the depth of the vessel in the water
− the propeller has a rough surface or has mechanical damage
− the vessel operates in bad sea and weather conditions
− he vessel operates in shallow water.
The mep of the engine (and thus the fuel injection quantity) will increase. In such a
condition, the operating point will then be at the left of the initial propeller curve
which was calculated during sea trials.
Although a cleaned and repainted hull will help to decrease the resistance of the
hull. It is not possible, however, to get the hull back to its initial condition.
Because the thermal load of the engine is related to the mep, the position of the
operating point is also important. The air supply to the engine and the operating
conditions will become unsatisfactory if the operation point is far above from the
propeller curve.
To get the best conditions, the operation point of the engine for service range must
be on or below the nominal propeller characteristic.

Explanations:
CMCR = Contract Maximum Continuous Rating
P = Power
n = speed
mep = mean effective pressure

The Relation between Engine and Propeller

2. Fixed Pitch Propeller (FPP)

2.1 Continuous service rating (CSR)


Point A represents power and speed of a ship operating at contractual speed in
calm seas with a new clean hull and propeller. The same ship at the same speed
requires a power / speed combination according to point D, shown in the figure
below, under service condition with aged hull and average weather. Point D is then
the CSR-point.

2.2 Engine margin (EM) / operational margin (OM)


Most owners specify the contractual ship’s loaded service speed at 85% … 90% of
the contract maximum continuous rating. The remaining 10% to 15% power can be
utilized to catch up with delays in schedule or for the timing of dry-docking
intervals. This margin is usually deducted from the CMCR. Therefore, the 100%
power line is found by dividing the power at point D by 0.85 … 0.90.

The Relation between Engine and Propeller

2.3 Load range limits


Once the engine is optimzed at (CMCR (Rx), the working range of the engine is
limited by the following border lines:
− Line 1 is a constant mep or torque line through CMCR from 100% speed and
power down to 95% power and speed.
− Line 2 is the overload limit. It is a constant mep line reaching from 100% power
and 93.8% speed to 110% power and 103.2% speed. The latter one is the
point of intersection between the nominal propeller characteristic and 110%
power.
− Line 3 is the 104% speed limit where an engine can run continuously. For Rx
with reduced speed (NCMCR  0.98 NMCR) this limit can be extended to
106%, however, the specified torsional vibration limits must not be exceeded.
− Line 4 is the overspeed limit. The overspeed range between 104 (106) and
108% speed is only permissible during sea trails if needed to demonstrate the
ship’s speed at CMCR power with a light running propeller in the presence of
authorized representatives of the engine builder. However, the specified
torsional vibration limits must not be exceeded.
− Line 5 represents the admissible torque limit and reaches from 95% power
and speed to 45% power and 70% speed. This represents a curve defined by
the equation: P2/P1 = (N2/N1)2.45. When approaching the line 5, the engine
will increasingly suffer from lack of scavenge air and its consequences. The
area formed by lines 1, 3 and 5 represents the range within which the engine
should be operated. The area limited by the nominal propeller characteristic,
100% power and line 3 is recommended for continuous operation. The area
between the nominal propeller characteristic and line 5 has to be reserved for
acceleration, shallow water and normal operational flexibility.
− Line 6 is defined by the equation: P2/P1 = (N2/N1)2.45 through 100% power
and 93.8% speed and the maximum torque limit in transient conditions. The
area above line 1 is the overload range. It is only allowed to operate the
engines in that range for maximum duration of one hour during sea trails in the
presence of authorized representatives of the engine builder. The area
between lines 5 and 6 and constant torque line (shown as a dark area) should
only be used for transient conditions, i.e. during fast acceleration. This range
is called ’service range with operational time limit’.

The Relation between Engine and Propeller

3. Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP)

3.1 Load ranges


After engine start, the engine is operated at an idle speed of up to 70% of the rated
engine speed with zero pitch. From idle speed, the propeller pitch is to be
increased with constant engine speed up to at least point E, the intersection with
the line 9.

Engine power [% Rx] CMCR (Rx)


− Line 9 is the bottom load limit between 70% and
100% speed, with such a pitch position that at 100%
speed a minimum power of 37 % is reached, point F.
The formula shown on page 1 is used for this
calculation.
− Along line 8 the power increase from 37% (point F)
to 100% power (CMCR) at 100 % speed is the
5 constant speed mode for shaft generator operation.
7
8 − Line 5 is the top load limit and relates to the admissi-
ble torque limit.
− The area between 70% and 100% speed and
between lines 5 and 9 shows the area within which
the engine with CPP must be operated.
Line 7 shows a typical combinator curve for variable
speed mode.
Maneuvering at maximum speed with low or zero pitch is
not permitted. Thus installations with main engine-driven
9 generators must be equipped with a frequency converter
when electrical power is to be supplied (e.g. to thrusters)
at constant frequency during manoeuvring. As an
alternative, power from auxiliary engines can be used for
this purpose.
For test purposes, the engine can be operated at rated
speed and low load during a one-time period of 15
minutes on the testbed (e.g. NOx measurements) and 30
minutes during dock trials (e.g. shaft generator
adjustment) in the presence of authorized
representatives of the engine builder. More requests
must be agreed from WCH.

The Relation between Engine and Propeller

3.2 Control system


The CPP control functions are usually part of the engine control system and
include the functions that follow:

Combinator mode 1:
Combinator mode for operation without shaft generator. Any combinator curve
including a suitable light running margin may be set within the permissible
operating area, typically line 7.

Combinator mode 2:
Optional mode used in connection with shaft generators. During manoeuvring, the
combinator curve follows the line 9. At sea the engine is operated between point F
and 100% power (line 8) at constant speed.
For manual and/or emergency operation, different setpoints for speed and pitch
are usually supplied.
An alarm is also usually given in the main engine safety system, or the alarm and
monitoring system when the engine operates for more than 3 minutes in the
operation area that is not permitted. If the engine operates for more than 5 minutes
in the operation area that is not permitted, the engine speed must be decreased to
idle speed (less than 70% ).

0240−1 Usual Operation.
During maneuvering, it is possible to operate the engine from the control room, the
bridge or the local maneuvering stand.
For operation during unusual conditions, see 0500−1.
Operation includes all maneouvers from the first start at cast off until the last
maneuver when the vessel is moored.
The engine is designed to operate with heavy fuel oil (HFO) from pier-to-pier, i.e.
without a change-over to diesel oil.
When the engine is at a standstill, the fuel flows through the fuel pumps if the
booster pump operates.
The necessary conditions of HFO before operation are as follows:
− The HFO is correctly treated.
− The HFO is kept at the correct temperature during the full in-service period,
which includes manoeuvring and stand-by.

1. General

A correctly maintained engine gives problem−free and safe operation. Use the
data given below as a guide to the maintenance personnel.
For more data about the general maintenance procedures, see the Maintenance
Manual 0011−1 and 0012−1.

2. Warnings

Injury Hazard: When you remove valves from the cylinder cover, do not let oil
or fuel fall on to the hot piston. This can cause an explosion.

Injury Hazard: Be careful when you disassemble the engine without the
correct tools and/or the necessary precautions. Compressed springs can
suddenly expand and cause injury.

Injury Hazard: When you open valves and shut−off devices, hot fluids or
gases can be released. To prevent injury, always open slowly the valves and
shut-off devices and look at the direction the medium is released.

3. Lighting

There must be good permanent lighting. Also, hand lamps must be available at
different locations in the engine room.

4. Clean areas

Attention! Do not use water or any cleaning fluid to clean the WECS electronic
control boxes on the rail unit. Damage can occur if fluids go into these control
boxes.
Always keep the engine as clean as possible.
Keep the WECS electronic control boxes on the rail unit clean and dry.
You must repair all leaks as soon as possible.
Dust, sand and chemical vapors must not go into the engine room.

Safety Precautions and Warnings (General Information)

5. Fire

Injury Hazard: Be careful when you use paints and solvents in the engine
room. These materials are flammable.

Injury Hazard: Insulation material that is soaked with oil or fuel is


flammable and must be replaced.

Make sure that you know the fire fighting instructions.


Before you do welding work or work that causes sparks, make sure that there are
no explosive fluids in the work area.
Make sure that fire fighting equipment is immediately available if you must do work
that causes sparks in the engine room.
Some components e.g. the turbocharger silencer and WECS electronic control
boxes, must be protected with an applicable cover.
Keep covers and casings closed until the engine has cooled to decrease the risk of
fire or explosions.
The engine room and the area below the floor plates must be kept clean. This will
help prevent a fire in the engine room and in different areas.
Make sure that no fire extinguisher gases can be automatically released when
personnel are in the engine room.
Make sure that the emergency exits are clearly marked.

6. Tools

Put hand−tools in locations where you can easily get access to them. Put special
tools and devices in positions in the engine room near the area where you use
them.
All tools must be prevented from unwanted movement and must have protection
from corrosion.

7. Spare parts

Keep large spare parts as near as possible to the position where they will be
installed and near the engine room crane.
You must prevent the unwanted movement of large spare parts.
All the spare parts must have corrosion protection. The corrosion protection agent
must be easy to remove. Examine the corrosion protection agent at regular
intervals and replace if necessary.
The spare parts must also have protection from mechanical damage.
Spare parts that are removed from the store must be replaced as soon as possible.

8. Crankcase doors − Open

Danger: If you think that parts of the running gear or bearings have become
too hot, it is possible that the engine must be shut down. Before you open
the crankcase doors, you must wait for a minimum of 20 minutes. This will
prevent an explosion.
Injury Hazard! Be careful when you touch hot parts with your hands. This
can cause injury.

Safety Precautions and Warnings (General Information)

9. Temperature

Danger: If you think that parts of the running gear or bearings have become
too hot, it is possible that the engine must be shut down. Before you open
the crankcase doors, you must wait for a minimum of 20 minutes. This will
prevent an explosion.
Injury Hazard! Be careful when you touch hot parts with your hands. This
can cause injury.

When commissioning an engine after an overhaul of its running gear, do a


temperature check to find unusually high temperatures in areas of the engine. Do
this temperature check after 10 minutes of engine operation.
Do the temperature check again after approximately one hour of engine operation.
After a short period of operation at full load, do the temperature check again.

10. Crankcase, cylinder, exhaust pipes and scavenge air receiver

Before you go into the spaces of the crankcase, cylinder, exhaust pipes and
scavenge air receiver, make sure that:
D Starting air to the engine is blocked and venting valves 2.21 and 2.27 are open
(see Control Diagram 4003−2).
D The turning gear is engaged (see also Maintenance Manual 0011−1
Precautionary measures before beginning of maintenance work).
Attention! Other ships in the water cause currents, which will make the
propeller and the engine turn. The engine and propeller cannot turn when
the turning gear is engaged.

11. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas

Injury Hazard! Where CO2 is used to extinguish a fire in the engine, there is a
risk of suffocation. Make sure that all related spaces have good airflow to
remove all CO2 gas before you go into the engine.

12. Crankcase doors − Close

Make sure that all crankcase doors are closed and locked before you operate the
engine. This is also applicable to short periods of engine operation e.g. running-in,
after the replacement of bearings, etc.

Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. 3/ 4 2015-07


0210−1/A1 Operation

Safety Precautions and Warnings (General Information)

13. Turning gear

When the turning gear is used, the indicator valves in the cylinder covers must be
open. If the air spring system is not pressurized, the indicator valves can stay
closed.
The lubricating oil pump must operate if possible, but the oil pressure cannot fully
increase when the exhaust valves are open.
Injury Hazard! Make sure that no personnel and components are in the danger
areas (crankcase, piston underside, propeller shaft, etc). The propeller coupling
also turns.
Remark: If the engine is stopped for overhaul, you must engage the turning gear to
prevent engine movement.
If the engine is ready for maneuvering, the turning gear must not be engaged.
Before the you start the engine, make sure that the turning gear is disengaged and
the lever is locked. It is possible that the blocking valve 2.13 (see 4003−2 Control
Diagram) can prevent engine start.

14. Instruments

Calibrate the instruments (and gages) at regular intervals before you use them.

15. Frost hazard

If the temperature decreases below 0°C and the engine is not in service, it is
possible that water in the engine, pumps, coolers and pipe systems will freeze. To
prevent this, drain the systems, increase the temperature in the engine room or
use an antifreeze (see 0760−1 Cooling Water / Cooling Water Treatment,
paragraph 5).

2015-07 4/ 4 Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd.


Operation 0220−1/A1
Operation under Usual Conditions
Slow Turning

1. General

To make sure that the running gear turns freely, we recommend (as long as the
classification society did not make more primary specifications) to turn the
crankshaft a minimum of one full turn before start-up. This does not apply if the
engine was at standstill during a maneuvering period.

2. Turning gear

The turning gear is used to turn the crankshaft (approximately one turn in 10
minutes). An arrow next to the flywheel shows the direction and distance that the
crankshaft has turned.

3. SLOW TURNING with starting air

A controlled quantity of starting air is is released to turn the running gear at


approximately 5 rpm to 10 rpm.
The WECS−9520 has the command SLOW TURNING for this operation.
The active control stand is used to start the SLOW TURNING operation:
− From the remote control
− At the ECR manual control panel in the control room
− At the local control panel (see 4618−1 ’WECS−9520 manual control panel’).

3.1 Conditions
Remark: The numbers e.g. 2.03 refer to items in the Control Diagram 4003−2.
Before you start the SLOW TURNING operation, make sure that:
D The turning gear is disengaged
D WECS−9520 is set to on
D The oil pumps operate (bearing and crosshead oil)
D The related control stand has control
D The indicator valves are closed
D The handwheel 2.10 on the shut-off valve for starting air 2.03 is in the position
AUTOMAT
D The shut-off valves on the starting air bottles are open
D The cylinder lubrication is set to on.

3.2 Function
The function below is almost the same as the engine start function.
D The control valve 2.05 opens the shut-off valve for starting air 2.03 and
starting air flows to the starting air valves 2.07 in the cylinder covers.
D The FCM−20 modules control the 5/2-way solenoid valves upstream of the
starting valves. The starting valves open and close for short periods only.
D You can use the remote control to change the timing of the starting valves
(open / close) to get the best slow turning speed.

Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. 1/ 1 Pulse / 2013


Intentionally blank
Operation 0240−1/A1
Operation during Usual Conditions
Usual Operation

1. General

To get the best performance, operate the engine at constant power. You must only
change the engine load and / or speed slowly, unless there are unusual conditions.

2. Checks and precautions

During usual operation, you must do regular checks and use precautions. This lets
CHECK you operate the engine without problems. The most important of these regular
checks and precautions are given below:
D Regular checks of pressures and temperatures. You must obey the limits (see
Operating Data Sheet 0250−1).
D You must compare the values of the instruments with those given in the
acceptance records and include the engine speed and power values. This
gives a good indication of engine performance. If there are differences in the
values, these must be identified. If there is no risk to the engine, replace
instruments that are possibly defective. Feel the pipes to compare
temperatures.
⇒ Do a check of the values that follow:
− Fuel injection quantity
− Fuel rail pressure
− Servo oil rail pressure
− Engine speed
− Turbocharger speed
− Scavenge air pressure
− Exhaust gas temperature upstream of the turbine.
Other important data is the value of the daily fuel consumption and the lower
calorific value.
⇒ Do a check to make sure that all shut-off valves in the cooling and lubricating
system are in the correct position.
D The shut-off valves for the cooling inlets and outlets on the engine must
always be fully open during operation. These shut-off valves are used only to
isolate cylinders from the cooling water system during overhauls.
D When unusually high or low temperatures are found at a water outlet, the
temperature must be gradually adjusted to the usual value. Sudden
temperature changes can cause damage (see also Cylinder Liner 2124−1
and Cooling Water System 8017−1).
D The maximum permitted exhaust temperature at the turbine inlet must not be
more than the limit given in the Operating Data Sheet 0250−1. Compare the
exhaust gas temperature indications at the cylinder outlet with the related
values in the acceptance records. If larger differences between the cylinders
are shown, you must find the cause.
D Look at the colors of the exhaust gases from the funnel. No dark smoke must
come out.
D Keep the correct scavenge air temperature downstream of the air cooler with
the usual water flow (see Operating Data Sheet 0250−1). A higher scavenge
air temperature will give an unsatisfactory quantity of charge air in the
cylinder. This will cause a higher fuel consumption and higher exhaust gas
temperatures.
D Do a check of the scavenge air pressure decrease through the air cooler. Too
much resistance will cause to a decrease of air to the engine.

Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. 1/ 3 2013


0240−1/A1 Operation

Usual Operation

D The fuel must be carefully cleaned before use. See the recommendations in
0720−1 Fuel Treatment, Fuel Oil System and the documentation of the
separator manufacturer.
⇒ Open the drain valves of all fuel tanks and and fuel filters regularly for short
periods to drain possible sludge or water.
⇒ Keep the fuel pressure correct downstream of the low pressure feed pump
and the inlet of the mixing unit (see the Operating Data Sheet 0250−1 and
0720−1, paragraph 4 Layout of the fuel oil system).
⇒ Use the pressure retaining valve in the fuel return pipe to adjust the pressure
at the fuel pump inlet. The fuel will flow in the low pressure circuit of the engine
at the usual supply capacity of the booster pump.
D The heavy fuel oil must be sufficiently heated to make sure that its viscosity
upstream of the inlet to the fuel pumps is in the limits given in 0710−1
Viscosity-Temperature Diagram, paragraph 3.1).
D Do regular checks of the cylinder lubricating oil quantity that is used.
Continuous service will give the best cylinder lubricating oil quantity. Do not
lubricate the cylinders too much. For the usual quantity used, and how to
calculate it, see Measurement of the Cylinder Lubricating Oil Consumption
7218−2.
D The cooling water pumps must operate at their usual flow capacity i.e. the
supply head is related to the given system layout. The result of the flow rate
and temperature difference between the inlet and outlet will approximately
relate to the values given in the Operating Data Sheet 0250−1. If the
temperature difference is too much, repair or replace the related pump as
soon as possible.
D To adjust the correct supply head of the cylinder cooling water pump, the
supply rate must be throttled in the engine outlet manifold. There must always
be positive pressure at the suction side of the pump to prevent air flow through
the stuffing box.
D Keep the vents at the top of the cooling water spaces constantly open to
release the air.
D Do a check of the level in all water and oil tanks, and all the drainage tanks of
the leakage pipes. Look for unusual changes.
D Look at the cooling water. If there is contamination or oil in the cooling water,
the cause must be found and the defect repaired.
D Each week, open the butterfly valves 18 and 18a for a short period to flush out
possible dirt particles. Regularly examine the sight glasses 20 and 20a of the
condensate collectors to do a check of the water flow (see Drainage System
and Wash-water Piping System 8345−1, Fig. ’A’).
D If there is a pressure decrease, do a check of the oil filters. Clean the oil filters if
necessary.
D Do regular checks of the differential pressure through the automatic filter and
the flush process.
D You must monitor for a period, bearings that are replaced or bearings that are
installed after an overhaul. You must obey the precautions to prevent
crankcase explosions (see 0460−1).
D Always keep the covers of the rail unit closed when the engine operates.

2013 2/ 3 Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd.


Operation 0240−1/A1

Usual Operation

D When you listen to the engine, unusual noises will show that there is a
possible defect.
D Hand-drawn diagrams give data about the combustion process and
pressures in the cylinder (see Indicator Diagrams 0420−1).
When the quality of the fuel used changes (diesel oil, heavy fuel oil from
different bunkerings), the maximum pressure in the cylinder at service power
must be found as soon as possible. You must compare this pressure to the
pressure measured during the related shop trial (speed, power).
In case considerable firing pressure differences are detected, i.e. too high or
too low, they must be adjusted by the electronic FQS in the remote control
(see 4002−3 ’User parameters’).
D Put the lubricating oil through a centrifuge. Get samples at regular intervals
and compare these samples with the values given in Lubricating Oils 0750−1.
D Do a check of the dirty oil drain pipes from the piston underside to make sure
that there are no blockages. Use your hand to touch each drain pipe to feel for
a temperature difference. A pipe is blocked when there is a temperature
difference along its length. You must clear all blockages as soon as possible.
D Examine regularly the lubricating and fuel oil systems for leaks (see 8016−1
Servo oil leakage system and 8019−1 Fuel leakage system). To find leakages
in the rail unit, open the related hinged covers and casings. You must repair
leaks as soon as possible.

Operation 0260−1/A1
Operation
Manoeuvring

1. General

Correct maneuvering, which causes an increase in engine load up to service


power and a decrease in load from service power, is very important. Engine loads
in the higher power ranges that are changed too quickly can cause increased wear
and fouling, specially piston rings and cylinder liners.
Slow load changes let the piston rings adapt to the new conditions and therefore
make sure of the best sealing.
There must always be sufficient power available in a short time for safe
manoeuvring in ports and waterways.

2. Maneuvering

Maneuvering is the operation between leaving port and release to SEA SPEED
and from the approach to port until FINISHED WITH ENGINE. This also includes
all changes during usual service e.g. changes of direction.
The manoeuvring range is the speed range between FULL AHEAD and FULL
ASTERN. This range is usually divided into four manoeuvring steps with related
given speeds in each direction.
Remark: Because of torsional vibration, it is possible that the engine has more
than one barred speed range. Also, it is possible that the engine has a barred
speed range if the axial damper becomes defective. Data about the barred speed
range can be found near the telegraph on the bridge, and/or near the local control
panel.
Usually, the FULL maneuvering speed, for engines that have fixed pitch
propellers, is related to approximately 70% of the maximum rated engine speed.
This is approximately 35% of the maximum power. This means that when sailing
straight ahead, the ship will be at approximately 66% of its maximum speed.
A fully serviceable engine can be manoeuvred in the range given above with no
time or performance limits. Fuel and scavenge air necessary for engine operation
are controlled electronically.
With controllable pitch propellers the speed and torque can be freely selected.
During maneuvering, the limits are the same as for fixed pitch propellers. The time
period to change the propeller pitch position from zero pitch to FULL must be a
minimum of 20 seconds.
If the engine is increased quickly to FULL maneuvering speed (or the propeller
blades brought to FULL pitch), the momentary engine load is higher when the
vessel is at standstill. When the vessel is at sea speed, the engine load is
decreased.
You can do maneuvering operations from the bridge (if the remote control is
installed), from the engine control room or at the local control panel on the engine.
Make sure that you know the special precautions for maneuvering operations from
the local control panel.
Heavy fuel oil or diesel oil can be used during maneuvering, but heavy fuel oil is
recommended (see 0270−1, paragraph 1 General).
The fuel used must have sufficient treatment (see Fuel Treatment, Fuel Oil System
0720−1).
The data given in 0250−1, Operating Data Sheet is also applicable during
manoeuvring.

Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. 1/ 3 2013


0260−1/A1 Operation

Manoeuvring

When heavy fuel oil is used for maneuvering, the fuel must be heated sufficiently.
This keeps the viscosity at the fuel pump inlets in the range given in the
Viscosity-Temperature Diagram 0710−1.
The heating of the fuel oil system must stay set to on. Keep the temperature of the
cooling media as close as possible to the higher limits given for usual service (see
Operating Data Sheet 0250−1).

2.1 Reversing during usual operation, at control room manoeuvring console


Because different remote controls can be connected to the engine controls, data
about the operation from the manoeuvring stand in the control room is not given
here. For this operation, see the documentation of the remote control
manufacturers.

2.2 Reversing at local control panel


(see also Local Control Panel 4618−1 and 4003−1 ’Engine local control’)

Transfer and take−over from REMOTE AUTO. CONTROL (Remote Control) to LOCAL MANUAL
CONTROL (Local Control):
⇒ At the control room console, push the button LOCAL MANUAL CONTROL
(Local Control) for mode transfer to local manual control.
⇒ At the WECS−9520 manual control panel (see 4618−1), push the button
LOCAL MANUAL CONTROL to take over the control.
⇒ Push the button FUEL CONTROL MODE.
Use this operation mode for long periods only when necessary e.g. until speed
control system defects or other defects in the remote control can be repaired.
In installations with controllable pitch propellers or clutch couplings, more
precautions are necessary. There must be good communication between the
bridge and the local manoeuvring stand.
Remark: Because the speed control system is not in control of the engine speed ,
an engineer must stay at the local manoeuvring stand. The engineer can then
make changes immediately if necessary.

Reversing:
⇒ Turn the rotary button to 15% fuel injection quantity (see display).
⇒ Push the button START AHEAD or START ASTERN until the engine runs in
the applicable direction.
Remark: On ships under way, this procedure can be some minutes, because the
propeller is dragged in the opposite sense of rotation.
You can also use the ECR manual control panel to do the reversing procedure
given above.
You can use the buttons and rotary button only at the related active control stand
(see 4618−1 ’WECS−9520 Manual control panel’).

2.3 Installations with controllable pitch propeller


For data about installations with controllable pitch propellers, refer to the
documentation of the propeller manufacturer.

2.4 Installations with clutch couplings


You must make sure that the couplings are engaged before you start the engine.

3. Increase power after release to SEA SPEED and decrease

You must only increase and decrease the engine load during a given time period.
This time period is usually between 40 minutes to 45 minutes between full
maneuvering and service power. However, the time period must not be less than
that given as follows:
D For an increase in engine load, not less than 30 minutes
D For a decrease in engine load, not less than 15 minutes.
You use the related devices in the engine room to manually increase and decrease
the engine load as follows:
D For fixed pitch propeller installations:
− Speed setting.
D For controllable pitch propeller installations:
− Speed setting
− Propeller pitch setting lever
− Speed and propeller pitch setting lever (combinator).
The time limits given above for speed and power are not applicable if a faster
decrease of engine load is necessary when:
D There are critical alarm conditions in the engine room
D A shut-down or automatic slow-down signal is activated.

4. Emergency manoeuvre

The safety of the vessel is very important. If an emergency manoeuvre is


necessary, all the limits specified in paragraphs 2 and 3 are not applicable, i.e. you
can use the the full power of the engine.

Operation
Change-over from Diesel Oil to Heavy Fuel Oil and Back

1. General

Continuous operation with heavy fuel oil is recommended for engines and plants.
You must only change from heavy fuel oil to diesel oil if necessary, for example
when:
D The engine is flushed before maintenance
D The heating plant is set to off in the dry dock
D There are environmental conditions.
To make sure that the change-over is safe, see the paragraphs that follow:

2. Recommended viscosity at inlet to fuel pumps

For the temperature necessary to make sure that the fuel upstream of the inlet to
the fuel pumps is at the correct viscosity, see the Viscosity-Temperature Diagram
0710−1.
A viscosimeter controls the temperature increase of the fuel.
Remark: During engine standstill fuel flows through the fuel pumps on the supply
unit but not through the fuel rail. Change-over is thus not possible.

2.1 Change-over from diesel oil to heavy fuel oil


See 0720−1 Fuel Treatment, Fuel Oil System, Fig. ’B’.

Plant side
After the position of the three-way valve 21 is changed, there is a mixture of diesel
oil (DO) and heavy fuel oil (HFO) in the mixing unit 24.
The viscosimeter controls the end-heater 26, which keeps the fuel temperature at
the necessary viscosity. You must only increase the fuel temperature slowly (i.e.
the temperature increase must be a maximum of 2_C each minute).
Remark: It is possible that sudden temperature changes can seize the fuel pump
plungers.
Make sure that the heating for the fuel filter 27, fuel supply and fuel return pipes is
set to on until the fuel is at the necessary temperature (the temperature is shown
on the thermometer upstream of the inlet to the fuel pumps).
Do a check of the fuel pressure downstream of the low pressure feed pump and at
the fuel pump inlet (see Operating Data Sheet 0250−1).

Engine side
The trace heating on the engine (fuel pressure pipes and fuel rail) must be set to on
when there is a change-over from diesel oil to heavy fuel oil in the plant. All covers
of the rail unit must be closed.
If the engine room is cold, you must set to on the trace heating approximately one
hour before the change-over.
Before you stop the engine, the change-over procedure must be fully completed.
This prevents a mixture of diesel oil and heavy fuel oil in the fuel rail, which can
cause viscosity problems during the next engine start.
It is recommended that for the change-over, the fuel is at the necessary
temperature and the CMCR load is not more than 75%.

0270−1/A1 Operation

Change-over from Diesel Oil to Heavy Fuel Oil and Back

2.2 Change-over from heavy fuel oil to diesel oil

Plant side
To change from HFO to DO, you must first change the position of the 3-way valve
21. HFO and DO is mixed in the mixing unit 24. The viscosity of the fuel mixture
decreases quickly at a specified temperature, which is related to an increased
proportion of DO to HFO. After a short period the heating can be set to off.

Engine side
Attention! If you operate the engine with diesel oil and the trace heating is set to
on, damage to the engine will occur.
The trace heating on the engine (fuel pressure pipes and fuel rail) must be set to off
during change-over from HFO to DO in the plant.
Remark: The time to complete a change-over will be longer if the engine operates
at low load.
Before you stop the engine, the change-over procedure must be completed. This
will prevent a mixture of DO and HFO in the fuel rail which can cause viscosity
problems during the next start.
It is recommended that the CMCR load is less than 50% CMCR power for the
change-over from HFO to DO.

1. General

See the data that follow:


D Checks and precautions in 0240−1.
D Trace heating of the fuel oil system during operation.
D Temperature of cooling medium within the usual range (see Operating Data
Sheet 0250−1).
D Careful treatment of the fuel oil (see Fuel Treatment, Fuel Oil System
0720−1).
D 0750−1 Operating Media, paragraph 3 Cylinder Lubricating Oil.
The cylinder lubricating oil quantity automatically adapts to the lower engine load.
The WECS−9520controls the lubricating oil quantities related to the engine load.

2. WECS−9520 Injection control

At low load the WECS−9520 automatically cuts out one of the three injection
valves in each cylinder. At very low load, two of the three injection valves are cut
out.
This makes sure that the engine has the best fuel mist and combustion properties,
which decreases smoke from the funnel and fuel consumption.
The WECS−9520 changes the cutting out of the three injection valves at regular
intervals to get an equal thermal load in the combustion chamber.
There is no time limit to operate the engine at low load.

Operation
Operation at Overload

1. General

Usually, the engine is only operated at overload (110% of CMCR power) during sea
trials when there is an authorized representative of the engine builder on board the
ship.
The limit for operation of the engine at overload is a maximum of one hour each day
(see also The Relation between Engine and Propeller 0070−1).
During operation at overload, you must carefully monitor the engine. If there are
unusual indications, you must decrease the load (power).
The load indication (fuel injection quantity) and the exhaust gas temperature
upstream of the turbine show the engine load (see Operating Data Sheet 0250−1
and Acceptance Records).
The coolant temperatures must be kept in their usual ranges.
In usual service, the full load position of the load indication (fuel injection quantity)
must stay in the limits given (see the Acceptance Records).
The maximum permitted position of the load indication (fuel injection quantity) is
given in the Acceptance Records. The adjustments are only permitted to show the
CMCR power, during sea trials with an overspeed of 104% to 108% of CMCR
power.
The conditions given below have an effect the speed of the ship:
− Sailing into strong head winds
− Sailing in heavy seas
− Sailing in shallow water
− When there is unwanted heavy growth on the hull.
The governor increases the fuel quantity to keep the speed of the ship constant.
The position shown on the load indication (fuel injection quantity) will increase.

Engine Shutdown
General

1. Engine load decrease

When possible, we recommend that the engine load is decreased slowly, see
Maneuvering 0260−1.

2. Engine stop

From the control room − remote control:


Because different types of remote control can be connected to the engine controls,
we do not give a procedure of the operation from the manoeuvring stand in the
control room. For this procedure, see the applicable documentation of the remote
control manufacturer.
Usually, it is sufficient to move the telegraph to the position STOP.

From the control room − ECR manual control panel:


When you push the STOP button on the WECS−9520 manual control panel in the
ECR, the WECS−9520 decreases the engine speed/power, then shuts down the
engine.

From the local control panel:


See the Control Diagram 4003−2 and Local Control Panel 4618−1.
When you push the STOP button on the WECS−9520 manual control panel the
WECS−9520 decreases the engine speed/power, then shuts down the engine.
Remark: You can use the buttons and rotary knob only at the related active control
stand.

2.1 In an emergency
To stop the engine immediately, push the EMERGENCY STOP button in the
control room, or on the local control panel. The fuel pressure control valve 3.06
releases the pressure in the fuel rail. At the same time, the fuel pump actuators
move the regulating linkages to the zero position.

2.2 Last option to stop the engine


Attention! Do this emergency procedure only as a last option.

You can also stop the engine as follows:


D In the supply box E85, set to off the electrical power to the WECS−9520.

Procedures after Engine Stop

1. Procedures for shorter service breaks (some days to a some weeks)

1.1 Engine is maneuverable


If the engine must still be maneuvered after it has stopped, see the conditions that
follow:
D The WECS−9520 engine control system must stay set to on.
D All the pumps for coolant water, lubricating oil and fuel must operate.
D Control air must be available and the starting air bottles must be full.
D Keep the cylinder cooling water at the correct temperature.
D Do not cool the lubricating oil.
D Keep the fuel at the necessary temperature in accordance with the
Viscosity-Temperature Diagram 0710−1.

1.2 Engine is not maneuverable


If the engine is not maneuverable, see the conditions that follow:
D After the engine has stopped, the coolant water and lubricating oil pumps
must operate for a minimum of 20 minutes to let the temperatures become
stable. Do not let these media cool below their usual inlet temperatures. The
sea-water pump can, thus, usually be stopped immediately.
D If the engine was shut down during operation with heavy fuel oil, then the
supply must flow through the fuel pumps and the fuel rail. The fuel system
must continue to operate.
D The fuel pipe heating system at the engine must be set to on. If this is not
necessary, change the engine operation to diesel oil before shut-down (see
0270−1 ’Change-over from heavy fuel oil to diesel oil’ and Measures to be
taken before Putting Out of Service for Extended Period 0620−1).
D The low pressure feed pump and booster pump can be stopped, if the engine
was shut down during operation with diesel oil (see 0720−1 ’Layout of the fuel
oil system’).
D Open the indicator valves in the cylinder covers.
D The turning gear can be engaged.
D WECS−9520 engine control system can be set to on.
D Where possible, keep the cooling water warm to prevent the engine from
cooling down too much. The cooling water pump thus, continues to operate
unless it is necessary to stop the pump for maintenance.
⇒ At frequent intervals and with the indicator valves open, use the turning gear
to turn the engine as necessary (possibly done daily in damp climates). Do
this procedure while the lubricating oil pump and servo oil service pump
operate and set to on the cylinder lubrication at the same time. After
completion of this procedure, make sure that the piston stops in a different
position each time.
Remark: Make sure that you know the safety precautions before you do repair
work or overhauls (see Maintenance Manual 0011−1 and 0012−1). If necessary,
release the pressure from the fuel oil system.
⇒ Repair all the defects found in service (leaks, etc).

Procedures after Engine Stop

Starting air manifold venting / Stop the starting air system:


Because of low air pressure after engine stop, the venting of the starting air
manifold 6 cannot be done correctly. Thus, dirt and grease stay in the starting air
manifold and can cause the piston rings of the starting air valve 7 to stick.
Use high-pressure air at regular periods, to make sure that all dirt and grease is
removed from the starting air manifold.
Do the steps that follow:
⇒ Engage the turning gear.
⇒ Open the drain and test valve 3 momentarily. If you can hear the starting air
flow into the shut-off valve 1, close the drain and test valve 3. The starting air
manifold 6 is pressurized with high-pressure starting air.
⇒ Close the shut-off valves of the starting air bottles.
Remark: You can usually find the venting valve 5 installed at the free end of the
starting air manifold. But on some engines the venting valve is installed at the
driving end. It is possible that two venting valves are installed on different engine
types.
⇒ Open the venting valve 5. The high-pressure air is released. Dirt and grease in
the starting air manifold are removed.
⇒ Lift the lever then turn the handwheel 2 to position CLOSED.
⇒ Open the venting valve 4 to drain the shut-off valve 1.

1. General

After new components of the piston running system are installed, it is very
important that you do a running-in procedure. This procedure makes sure that the
profiles of the piston rings and the cylinder liner adapt and get the same shape.
The running-in procedure has different engine load steps (see Fig. 1), which are
lubricated more than usual. The higher amount of lubricating oil absorbs the large
quantity of wear debris, which were made during the running-in procedure.
The new components will be run-in until the engine has the maximum load. If the
engine was run-in until load L1 and you want to operate the engine at a higher load
L2 (L2 > L1 + 10% CMCR), you must first start a new running-in process until load
L2. For data about the engine load ranges, see 0070−1 The Relation between
Engine and Propeller.
After new cylinder liners are installed, or after piston rings are replaced, a
running-in procedure must be completed. Running-in makes sure that there is
good sealing of the piston rings in a short time. The running-in procedure is very
important for engines with non-chrome ceramic piston rings.
It is very important that no scuffing occurs on the running surfaces of the cylinder
liner and/or the piston rings during the running-in procedure. You must obey the
data given in the guidelines of the running-in programme (see paragraph 5) to
run-in new components. Do not complete the load-up programme faster than
recommended.
It is also very important that spare cylinder liners are purchased from approved
manufacturers who apply modern material and machining technologies.

1.1 Before Engine Start


1. Prepare the engine for start, see 0110−1.
2. Do a check of the condition of the piston rings.
3. Do a check of the condition of the cylinder liners from the piston underside and
for signs of condensation or leakage (if the engine has not started for some
time).
4. Do a check of the scavenge air receiver and piston underside for
contamination.
5. Make sure that the water separator is in a clean condition.
6. Make sure that the scavenge air receiver drains are open and the high level
alarm operates correctly.
7. See the data given in paragraph 4 to set the cylinder lubricating oil supply rate.

Running-in of New Cylinder Liners and Piston Rings

8. In the remote control system, get the USER PARAMETERS in the USER page
(see 4002−3, User parameters and Maintenance Settings).
9. Set to off the VIT.
10. Set the FQS to 0.00 degree.

1.2 Running-in
1. See paragraph 5 for data about the running-in sequence.
2. Do not complete the load-up sequence faster than the recommended time.
Remark: It is usually necessary to inspect the condition of the running surfaces of
the piston rings and the cylinder liner to make an estimate of the running-in status.
3. Do frequent checks to make sure that the cooling water quantity and
temperature is stable (differences in temperature are not permitted), (see
2124−1 Cylinder Liner).
4. For the running-in of one cylinder, you can temporarily decrease its load. See
step a) and step b):
a. In the remote control, get in the MAINTENANCE SETTINGS in the
ADJUST page (see 4002−3, User parameters and Maintenance
Settings).
b. In the Inj. correction factor page, set the applicable value.

2. Fuel

For running-in, use heavy fuel oil (HFO). Make sure that the fuel has the correct
treatment and viscosity (i.e. heated to the correct temperature).

3. Cylinder Lubricating Oil

For usual operation and running-in conditions, use cylinder lubricating oil that has
a high-alkaline base number (BN) (see 0750−1, paragraph 3 Cylinder Lubricating
Oil) when HFO with a high sulphur content is used.

Operation 0410−1/A2

Running-in of New Cylinder Liners and Piston Rings

4. Cylinder Lubricating Oil Feed Rate

4.1 Increase Feed Rate


During the running-in period, the feed rate to the related cylinder must be
increased to 1.4 g/kWh (see 7218−1 paragraph 8.4 Lubricating Oil Feed Rate −
Adjustment).
1. In the remote control system, get the USER PARAMETERS in the USER page
(see 4002−3, User parameters and Maintenance Settings).
2. In the Lubrication field, select the applicable cylinder(s).
3. In the Adjustment column, adjust the feed rate until 1.4 g/kWh shows in the
Feed Rate column for the applicable cylinder number.

4.2 Decrease the Feed Rate


For maximum power, the feed rate can be decreased to (see Fig. 1):
D 1.2 g/kWh after approximately 15 hours of operation
D 1.0 g/kWh after 50 hours of operation
D 0.9 g/kWh after 200 hours of operation and after inspections of the piston rings
and cylinder liners.
Because of regular checks of the piston rings and cylinder liners during the next
500 hours to 1000 hours of operation, the feed rate can be decreased. The feed
rate must be decreased in small steps until the guide feed rate is at 0.8 g/kWh (see
paragraph 5, Running-in Sequence).

4.3 Decrease the Feed Rate to Less than the Guide Feed Rate
If there are satisfactory conditions after 1000 hours of operation, it is possible to
decrease the feed rate to less than the guide feed rate.
You must decrease the feed rate in steps of approximately 0.1 g/kWh, with periods
of 500 hours to 1000 hours of operation between each step.
If the inspection results of the running surface of the piston rings and cylinder liner
(through the scavenge ports) are satisfactory, the feed rate can be decreased.
The data above for usual operation is related to:
D The condition of the engine
D The sulphur content of HFO
D The cost of cylinder lubricating oil compared to a replacement cylinder liner
and maintenance costs
D The selection of lubricating oil
D The oil analysis of the piston underside drain.

5.
Note: If the engine operates at low load (less than 60% CMCR), the running-in procedure can be
done at a later time. But, this is only possible when a full set of Chrome Ceramic rings (obey the g/kWh g/BHPh

2015-07
data given in the Service Bulletins RT-135 and RT-135_A1) is installed together with a new, fully eff. eff.
honed cylinder liner (or a cylinder liner that was run-in before).
0410−1/A2

At the next load-up (e.g. procedure to clean the turbocharger or boiler soot removal) the running-in
procedure must then be completed and must include 75% engine load before the ship goes back 2.0

Indicator Diagrams

1. General

Indicator diagrams must only be drawn with a serviceable indicator at constant


power and speed, and ships sailing in calm sea and deep water.
To give you data about the indication diagrams, make a note of the related cylinder
number, engine speed, the positions of the load indicator and VIT..

2. Description of cylinder pressures

Higher compression ratio and fuel injection delay are used to decrease the NOx
value for engines so that the IMO rules are obeyed.
The ratio of the maximum firing pressure to the compression pressure is in the
range of 0.90 to 1.25 at 100% load.
The engine rating is related to IMO tuning. This means that the curves in the
diagram can be different within the two examples that follow:

Special Procedures during Operation
Procedures to Prevent Contamination and Fire in the Scavenge Air Spaces

1. General

The primary cause of contamination is when combustion materials are blown


between the piston and cylinder into the scavenge air spaces (blow-by). The
contamination will be more if the fuel is not fully burned (exhaust smoke).

2. Causes and procedures

2.1 Causes of unsatisfactory combustion


D The injection valves do not operate correctly (nozzle tip has trumpets or is
worn).
D The fuel is too cold, specially at low load.
D Operation with a temporarily low air supply during large differences in engine
load and the scavenge air pressure fuel limiter set too high.
D Too much load.
D Low air supply because the ventilation in the engine room is not sufficient.
D Contamination of the silencer and diffuser on the air side of the turbocharger.
D Contamination of the wire mesh and nozzle ring upstream of the turbocharger.
D Contamination of the exhaust gas boiler, the air cooler and water separator,
the air flaps in the scavenge air receiver and the scavenge ports.

2.2 Causes of blow-by


D Worn piston rings, broken piston rings or piston rings that cannot move.
D Worn cylinder liner.
D Incorrect operation of a lubricating quill.
D The running surface of the cylinder liners are damaged.
If there are one or more of these conditions, the remaining particles (fuel not fully
burned and cylinder lubricating oil) will collect at the areas that follow:
D Between piston ring and piston ring groove.
D On the piston skirt.
D In the scavenge ports.
D On the bottom of the cylinder block (piston underside).

2.3 Causes of fires


D Combustion gases and sparks that bypass the piston rings between the
piston and cylinder liner running surface go into the piston underside.
D If sealing rings of the piston rod gland leak and drain pipes from the piston
underside are blocked, system oil and cylinder lubricating oil will collect. This
is a primary fire risk.
Remark: Do periodic checks of the bottom of the cylinder block and scavenge air
receiver. If necessary clean the cylinder block and scavenge air receiver.

Procedures to Prevent Contamination and Fire in the Scavenge Air Spaces

2.4 Indications of a fire


D You can hear the related temperature alarms.
D A large increase in the exhaust gas temperature of the related cylinder and an
increase in piston underside temperature.
D In some conditions the turbocharger can surge.

2.5 Fire fighting procedures


We recommend the procedures that follow:
⇒ Decrease the engine power.
⇒ Cut out the injection of the related cylinder (in the remote control, user
parameters, select Inj. CUT OFF).
⇒ Although there is high temperature in the cylinder(s), increase the feed rate of
lubricating oil to maximum (see 4002−3 ’User Parameters and Maintenance
Settings’ paragraphs 1 and 1.1).
If the plant has a specified fire extinguisher system, (carbon dioxide CO2) the
containers can be attached to the applicable connections on the scavenger air
receiver. The related shut-off valve must be fully leak-proof.
⇒ If you think there is a fire, shut down the engine and fill the scavenge space
with CO2 gas.
Remark: Make sure that you read 0210−1 Safety Precautions and Warnings,
paragraph 11 Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas.
If steam is used to extinguish a fire, you must do the procedures to prevent
corrosion.
It is possible that after approximately 5 minutes to 15 minutes, a fire will be
extinguished. To make sure that a fire is extinguished, do a check of:
D The exhaust gas temperatures
D The temperatures of the doors to the piston underside space.
After the procedures above, you must stop the engine as soon as possible and find
the cause of the fire.
Do the checks that follow:
CHECK
D The cylinder liner running surface, piston and piston rings.
D The air flaps in the scavenge air receiver (replace if necessary).
D Possible leakages.
D The piston rod gland as much as possible.
D The injection nozzles.
⇒ After a careful check, or if necessary a repair, do the procedure that follows:
− Start the engine.
− Start the injection and slowly increase the load.
− Set the lubricating oil feed rate to the applicable value.
⇒ If the engine must stay in operation and the fire is extinguished, do the
procedure that follows:
− Cut in the injection and slowly increase the load.
− Set the lubricating oil feed rate to the applicable value.
Remark: Do not operate the engine for long periods with a high cylinder lubrication
setting.

2.6 Procedures to prevent fire


Good engine maintenance will help to prevent a fire in the scavenge air spaces.
The data that follow will also help to prevent fire:
⇒ Make sure that the injection nozzles are serviceable (i.e. the spray from the
nozzles must come out correctly).
⇒ Do regular inspections of the air and gas pipes.
⇒ Regularly clean the the air and gas pipes.
⇒ Dirty oil from the piston underside must always drain through the dirty oil
outlet.
⇒ Use your hand to feel the drain pipes. If there is a blockage, a drain pipe will
have a temperature difference between different areas. You must clean the
related drain pipe as soon as possible.

Instructions Concerning the Prevention of Crankcase Explosions

1. General

Examples of crankcase explosions in diesel engines have shown that they can
only occur in special conditions, and thus do not occur frequently.
The cause of crankcase explosions is oil mist. Oil mist comes from components
that have become unusually hot.
Engines have oil mist detectors (see Oil Mist Detector 9314−1), which
continuously monitor the concentration of oil mist in the crankcase. If there is a high
oil mist concentration the oil mist detector activates an alarm.
Correct engine maintenance will help prevent explosions in the crankcase.

2. Procedure

If an oil mist detector activates an alarm, do the procedures given below:


Attention! Get away from the engine. There is a risk of explosion.
⇒ Decrease the engine speed (power) immediately.
⇒ When possible, stop the engine and let the temperature decrease for a
minimum of 20 minutes.
⇒ Find the cause and repair if possible (see Operating Problems 0840−1).
Attention! Do not open the crankcase doors or the checking covers for a minimum
of 20 minutes. If air goes into the crankcase, an explosion can occur.
To prevent accidents no person must be in the possible range of gases that can
come out of the relief valves on the crankcase doors. If no fire-extinguishing
system is installed or not in use, a portable fire extinguisher must be kept ready
when the crankcase doors are opened.

Operation during Unusual Conditions
General Data

1. General

The data below give the procedures for engine operation when:
D The parts cannot be immediately repaired
D The engine must continue to operate, or
D When engine operation must continue as soon as possible.

2. Decreased power output

In an emergency, when the engine must operate (with one or more cylinders out of
operation, turbochargers out of service or decreased coolant flow etc.) the power
must be decreased to prevent damage to the engine.
Make sure that the load indication is always less than the full load position (fuel
injection quantity) and that the gas temperature at the turbocharger inlet is less
than the maximum temperature (see Operating Data Sheet 0250−1). If necessary
decrease the engine speed and power.
Because of torsional vibration, it is possible that the engine has more than one
barred speed range. Also, it is possible that the engine has a barred speed range if
the axial damper becomes defective. Data about the barred speed range can be
found near the telegraph on the bridge, and/or near the local control panel.
The exhaust smoke must be monitored because the engine must not operate with
dark exhaust smoke. The speed and power must be decreased until the exhaust
smoke is satisfactory.

3. Cylinders out of operation

When one or more cylinders are out of operation the turbocharger can surge. This
makes a loud sound. Large differences in the scavenge air pressure will show on
the pressure gage.
If the turbocharger surges for short periods or continuously, you must decrease the
speed sufficiently.
Remark: When cylinders are out of operation, it is possible (when an engine has
only e.g. five cylinders) that the engine will stop in a position from which it cannot
start. This is because none of the serviceable pistons are in the correct position to
start the engine again. Start the engine momentarily in the opposite direction to get
the crankshaft to a different position. It is possible that the engine will not reverse
correctly and you must do related precautions together with the bridge.

1. Cut out the injection

If the injection of one or more cylinders must be cut out, do the procedure that
follows:
⇒ In the remote control, select Inj. CUT OFF to cut out the applicable cylinder
(see 4002−3 User Parameters, paragraphs 1 and 1.1).
Remark: If there is a defect in the injection system (injection valve, high pressure
pipe, etc.) only cut out the injection of the related cylinder. If possible, the exhaust
valve must always operate.
Attention! For safety, disconnect the electrical connections 10 from the rail valves
9 of the related cylinder (see Fig. ’A’).
If it is necessary to operate the engine with the injection cut out for a long period, do
the procedure that follows:
⇒ Record the lubricating oil feed rate settings.
⇒ Decrease the lubricating oil feed rate for the related cylinder to the minimum
setting.

2. Injection start

Replace defective injection control unit as soon as possible (see Injection Control
Unit 5564−1 in the Maintenance Manual).
Risk of injury! You must use gloves and safety goggles when you do work on hot
components.
2.1 Replace the defective injection control unit
⇒ Stop the engine.
⇒ Close the heating pipes.
⇒ Set to off the fuel booster pump 3.15 and the bearing oil pump.
⇒ Remove the screw plug 7 from the stop valve 8.
⇒ Carefully open the stop valve 8 to release the pressure in the servo oil rail 2

⇒ Replace the defective parts as soon as possible (see Fuel Pump 5556−1 and
Supply Unit 5552−2 in the Maintenance Manual).

2. Defective actuator

2.1 Fault identification


D If an actuator fails, its regulating output stays in position or turns slowly to zero
supply. The toothed rack does not change when the load changes.
D At higher fuel consumption, the serviceable actuator has control of the fuel
quantity regulation.
D At lower fuel consumption, the fuel pressure control valve 3.06 has the fuel
pressure regulating function.
Remark: If all the actuators become defective, their regulating outputs stay in
position or turn slowly to zero delivery. The toothed rack does not change when the
load changes. Fuel quantity regulation is not possible at lower fuel consumption.
The fuel pressure control valve 3.06 has the fuel pressure regulating function for
lower fuel consumption. The fuel quantity that flows off goes into the fuel return.
Operation with these regulating functions must be avoided if possible, or operate
for some hours only. Decrease the rail pressure (see paragraph 2.3 Procedures
and in 5562−1 Fuel pressure control valve 3.06).
If there is an overpressure in the HP fuel system (i.e. the fuel pressure control valve
3.06 becomes defective), the fuel overpressure safety valve 3.52 opens and the
level switch LS3426A activates an alarm.

Overpressure in the Combustion Chamber

1. General

It is possible that overpressure can occur in the combustion chamber. Over-


pressure in the combustion chamber (i.e. too much fuel, oil, water or a permanently
closed exhaust valve etc.) can cause the relief (safety) valve to open and / or the
cylinder cover to lift.
Attention! Investigate the cause(s) of the overpressure immediately.

2. Measures

Remove the cylinder cover and the water guide jacket for a visual inspection of the
combustion chamber (see 2708−1 in the Maintenance Manual).

⇒ Carefully operate the hydraulic tensioning device. Increase the pressure until
the nuts become loose.
− If the pressure is almost the same as the nominal tightening pressure, the
elastic studs are not overstressed and can be used again.
− If the nuts become loose at a pressure of less than 20% of the nominal
tightening pressure, replace the elastic studs as given in the Mainte-
nance Manual 2751−1.
⇒ Make sure that:
− The gasket 6 is serviceable.
− The surfaces ’AF’ on the cylinder cover 1 and liner 2 are in perfect condi-
tion.
− The O-rings 7, 8, and 9 are replaced with new items.
− If a relief valve is fitted (depending on Class requirements), do a check in
accordance with 2745−1 in the Maintenance Manual.
− On the crankshaft, the two marks ’MA’ on all cylinders are in line. If the
marks are not in line, the crank has turned.
Attention! If the crank has turned, contact Wärtsilä Services Switzerland Ltd.

Scavenge Air Cooler Out of Service / Failure of Auxiliary Blowers

1. Scavenge air cooler out of service

When a scavenge air cooler (SAC) is defective, water can go into the scavenge air
receiver. The water then goes out through the drain pipe into the float / solenoid
switch unit of the SAC drain. The related level switch activates an alarm.
Because seawater is also used to cool the scavenge air, there is a risk that a leak
can cause bad corrosion of the air flaps, etc in the receiver.
Remark: If you see water flow through the sight glass of the SAC drain during
engine standstill (and water is pumped), do a check for faults as soon as possible.
If there is a fault in the SAC, we recommend that you do the procedure that follows:
⇒ Replace the defective SAC with the spare as soon as possible.
⇒ Shut down and drain the defective SAC (this is only possible with a
dual-system of coolers and turbochargers).
⇒ Seal the cooling water supply and return pipes of the defective SAC.
⇒ Open the vent and drain valves. The vent and drain valves must stay open.
D Leakage water that goes into the receiver flows away through the drain pipes
of the SAC and water separator into the collection pipe.
D During operation in this mode, the scavenge air temperature and exhaust gas
temperature will increase.
D You can only load the engine so that the scavenge air temperature (measured
downstream of the SAC) is not more than the usual limit at service output. You
must continuously and carefully monitor the scavenge air temperature.
D If the scavenge air temperature increase is too high, the engine speed must
be decreased (maximum permitted scavenge air temperature downstream of
the cooler, see Alarms and Safeguards 0250−2).
Remark: You can operate the engine only at approximately 25% load.
In an emergency, you can seal the defective SAC pipes (see Maintenance Manual
6606−1 ’Locating and sealing of leaking cooler tubes in service’).

2. Defective auxiliary blowers

If one of the auxiliary blowers becomes defective, you can start and operate the
engine. At partial load, there will be more exhaust smoke.
If the two auxiliary blowers become defective, the engine cannot start.

2.1 Procedures and checks


Remark: It is recommended to operate the engine on diesel oil as an alternative to
heavy fuel oil for some time before shutting it down (see Change−over from Diesel
Oil to Heavy Fuel Oil and Back 0270−1).
Remark: The numbers (e.g. 2.10) refer to items shown in the control diagrams
4003−2 and 4003−3.
⇒ Close the stop valves on the starting air bottles.
⇒ Turn the handwheel 2.10 on the shut-off valve for starting air 2.03 to the
position CLOSED.
⇒ Open the vent valves 2.21 and 2.27.
⇒ Make sure that the pressure gauges show zero pressure.
⇒ Engage the turning gear.
D The water and oil pumps must operate for a minimum of 20 minutes after the
engine has stopped. This is to make sure that the temperature of the cooled
engine parts become as stable as possible.
⇒ Open the indicator valves on the cylinder covers.
D Lubrication starts automatically during the slow-down of the engine (speed is
more than 8%).
⇒ When the engine has stopped, cut out the fuel pumps, see 5556−2 paragraph
1 and paragraph 2.
⇒ Close the stop valves on the fuel tanks.
⇒ Open the drain valves of the exhaust gas manifold and on the exhaust gas
pipe to drain the condensate.
⇒ Close the drain valves of the exhaust gas manifold and on the exhaust gas
pipe.
⇒ Put a cover (e.g. a tarpaulin) on the exhaust gas manifold and the
turbocharger silencer to make an airtight seal. This will prevent air flow
through the engine and thus condensation.

Procedures before Putting Out of Service for a Long Period

⇒ For the scavenge air coolers, see the recommended procedures in the
documentation of the manufacturer. If this is not available, we recommend
that the coolers are completely drained or the cooling water pump operated
daily for approximately 30 minutes (with the flow quantity control valves in the
same position as for usual operation conditions).
⇒ Keep cylinder cooling water approximately at room temperature. Monitor the
temperature for a risk of frost.
⇒ Repair all the damage and leaks found during the operation period before and
the checks made after shut-down.
⇒ Do all scheduled overhauls and obey the general guidelines for maintenance
(see Maintenance Manual 0011−1 and 0012−1).
⇒ Where the auxiliary engines and boilers are also put out of operation and there
is risk of frost, completely drain all of the cooling systems (in such conditions,
protect the drained systems from corrosion).
⇒ In the power supply box E85, use the circuit breaker to set the WECS−9520 to
off.
⇒ Set to off the control box for the automatic filter.
⇒ Within 48 hours after you have put the engine out of service, do the checks
that follow:
⇒ Open cover on rail unit and look for signs of condensation and corrosion.
⇒ Remove the inspection cover from supply unit and look for signs of
condensation and corrosion on the internal housing, camshaft, cams and

1. General

Almost all mineral residual and distillate and some renewable fuels can be burned
in a diesel engine if applicable procedures are done. But, the quality of the fuel will
have an effect on the frequency of overhauls and the work necessary to prepare
the fuel. It is the primary economic considerations that according to the type, size
and speed of the engine, and its application gives the fuel quality margins.
Gas oils and diesel oils (distillates) can be used in all Wärtsilä engines with some
limits. Wärtsilä 2-stroke diesel engines are designed to operate on up to
700 mm2/s (cSt) at 50_viscosity heavy fuel oil (ISO 8217:2010 RMK 700 grade) if
sufficient fuel heating and treatment is done. When fuels with a very low sulphur
content are used, operators must be careful when running-in new piston rings and
cylinder liners.
Heavy fuel oil must be treated in an applicable fuel treatment plant.
When bunkering, it is possible that the fuel suppliers will report only some of the
values given in the Quality Specifications. Frequently, only the density and maxi-
mum viscosity is given. This makes the analysis of a fuel difficult, thus it is impor-
tant to get a full certificate of analysis with each bunker.
The supplier must guarantee the stability of the fuel, i.e. resistance to the formation
of sludge. Also, the fuel must not have a corrosive effect on the injection equipment
and must not contain used lubricating oil or chemical waste.
If possible, oils from different bunkers must not be mixed because there is a risk
that the fuels will have different compositions (e.g. this can cause fouling of filters
or too much sludge, which will overload the fuel preparation equipment). Fresh
bunkers must always be put into empty tanks and not on top of old bunkers.

2. Heavy fuel oil

Diesel engine fuels include many different petroleum products from gas oil to
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). Gas oil is made from crude oil by distillation and processing.
HFO is the remaining material after distillation of the crude oil. To get the necessary
viscosity, the material is mixed with lighter, less viscous components. Modern re-
fineries also apply a secondary conversion process, such as viscosity breaking
(visbreaking) and catalytic cracking to get a higher yield of lighter products. The
remaining products are mixed to get HFO.
Viscosity is usually used to identify diesel engine fuels. The viscosity is shown in
mm2/s, referred to as centistokes (cSt) and measured at 50_C. The fuels are clas-
sified in accordance with ISO 8217 and the latest revision is the fourth edition
dated 15 June 2010.
Viscosity itself is not a quality criterion. To make an analysis of the fuel quality (to
make sure that the fuel is applicable for use in a diesel engine), refer to the proper-
ties such as those given in the Table 1.
To make an estimate of the ignition properties of a distillate diesel fuel, the CE-
TANE number (standardized engine test) or the CETANE index (calculation) were
used. The ignition and combustion properties are very important for medium and
high-speed engines. For low-speed diesel engines, the ignition properties are not
very important.
Remark: Some very poor fuels that are not frequently found can have import-
ant ignition properties.
Very good supervision, engine maintenance and fuel treatment equipment is ne-
cessary when fuel with properties near the maximum limits are used. Fuel prepara-
tion that is not sufficient and poor quality fuels cause overhauls to be more frequent
and thus, an increase in the cost of maintenance.
The values in the column Bunker limit (ISO 8217:2010 RMK700) show the mini-
mum quality of heavy fuel as bunkered, i.e. as supplied to the ship/installation.
Good operation results come from commercially available fuels that are in the
ISO 8217 limits. But the use of fuel with metal, ash and carbon contents and a
lower density can have a positive effect on overhaul periods. These effects can
improve combustion and exhaust gas composition as well as a decrease in wear.
The fuel as bunkered must be processed before it goes into the engine. It is recom-
mended that you refer to the related specifications of Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd.
for the design of the fuel treatment plant. The minimum centrifuge capacity is 1.2 x
CMCR x BSFC / 1000 (litres/hour), which is has a relation to 0.21 l/kW. The fuel
treatment must remove sludge and decrease catalyst fines and water to the rec-
ommended engine inlet limits.
In ISO 8217, foreign substances such as used oil or chemical waste must not be
added to the fuel. This is because of the hazards to the crew, machines and the
environment. Tests that are done for unwanted substances as acids, solvents and
monomers with titrimetric, infrared and chromatographic methods, are recom-
mended. This is because of the damage these substances can cause to fuel treat-
ment, fuel injection equipment, pistons, rings, liners, and exhaust valves and
seats. Turbocharger, exhaust system and boiler contamination can also occur be-
cause of poor fuel quality.

The engine inlet fuel quality uses the latest ISO 8217:2010 specification. Bunkers
that comply with ISO 8217:2005 can be used until the latest ISO specification is
fully released. In such conditions, the higher values for carbon residue and vana-
dium can be satisfactory.
It is very important that the fuel is fit for purpose in the related engine application.

*1) You can get ISO standards from the ISO Central Secretariat, Geneva, Swit-
zerland (www.iso.ch).
*2) For W−X engines the fuel viscosity at the fuel pump inlet can be in the range of
between 10 mm2/s (cSt) and 20 mm2/s (cSt). When the engine operates on
HFO, Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. recommends a fuel viscosity at the fuel
pump inlet in the range of between 13 mm2/s (cSt) and 17 mm2/s (cSt).
*3) The maximum limit is 991kg/m3 if the fuel treatment plant cannot remove wa-
ter from high-density fuel.
*4) ISO 8217:2010, RMK700. Note that lower sulphur limits can apply and are re-
lated to statutory specifications and sulphur limits not given in ISO 8217:2010.
*5) The hydrogen sulphide limit is applicable from 1 July 2012.
*6) Purchasers must make sure that the pour point is sufficient for the equipment
on board, specially for operation in cold climates.
Remark: For data about the parameters given in the table above, see para-

Damage Hazard: Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) is a very toxic gas and exposure
to high concentrations is dangerous and can kill you. Be careful when tanks
or fuel lines are opened because there can be H2S vapor. At low concentra-
tions H2S smells almost the same as bad eggs. You cannot sense H2S at
moderate concentrations. H2S will cause nausea and dizziness.

3. Data about Heave Fuel Oil Specifications

3.1 Viscosity
The recommended viscosity range upstream of the engine is between 13 mm2/s
(cSt) and 17 mm2/s (cSt). You get the necessary temperature for a given nominal
viscosity from the data in Fig. 1 below:

Example:
To get the recommended viscosity upstream
of the fuel pumps, the fuel of 380 mm2/s
[cSt] at 50°C must be heated to between
130°C and 140°C.
WCH03126

Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. 5/ 12 2015-07


0710−1/A1 Operation

Diesel Engine Fuels

The maximum permitted viscosity of the fuel that can be used in an installation is
related to the heating and fuel preparation facilities available. The flow rate and the
temperature of the fuel that flows through the centrifuges must be adjusted in rela-
tion to the viscosity to get good separation. Do not heat the fuel to more than 150_C
to get the recommended viscosity at the engine inlet. This is because the fuel can
start to decompose, get contamination and be dangerous as it is possible that the
temperature will be higher than the flash point.

3.2 Density
The composition of the fuel gives the density. A high density shows a high aromatic
content. It is not always possible to use conventional methods to measure the den-
sity at 15_C. Thus, the measurement is made at a higher temperature and then
converted and adjusted to the reference temperature. Most bunkers are to the ISO
8217:2010 RMG specification, which has a maximum density of 991.0 kg/m3. Ap-
plicable fuel preparation equipment, which can be adjusted for a fuel density great-
er than 991.0 kg/m3, must be available on board if high density fuels are used.

3.3 CCAI (Calculated Carbon Aromaticity Index)


The ignition and combustion properties of the fuel in a diesel engine are related to
the specific engine design, load profile and fuel properties.
The CCAI is a calculated quantity of the ignition properties or ignition interval of the
fuel related to the viscosity and density. The CCAI has no effect on the combustion
properties. The CCAI limit is useful to measure fuels with unusual density-viscosity
relations.
More tests are available to find ignition and combustion properties and these can
be helpful to examine the performance of fuels.

3.4 Sulphur
Sulphur limits are not specified in ISO 8217:2010 because statutory specifications
put a limit on this value. The maximum sulphur level that can be used in Wärtsilä
2-stroke engines is 4.5% m/m.
The alkalinity (base number (BN)) of the cylinder lubricating oil must be selected in
relation to the sulphur level of the fuel in use. The engine can operate for short peri-
ods (some hours) with a cylinder lubricating oil that has an incorrect BN, but a
longer operation time must be prevented.
Indications for the selection of the BN of the lubricating oil in relation to the sulphur
content of the fuel are found in:
D 0410−1 Running-in of New Cylinder Liners and Piston Rings
D 0750−1 Lubricating Oils, paragraph 3.

3.5 Flash point


The flash point is an important safety and fire hazard parameter for diesel fuels.
Fuel is always a fire hazard because there can be flammable vapors above the
remaining fuel in the tanks. There must be caution on ships when the remaining
fuel is heated to above the flash point to help with the filter process and injection.

3.6 Hydrogen sulphide


Danger: Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) is a very toxic gas and exposure to high
concentrations is dangerous and can kill you. Be careful when tanks or fuel
lines are opened because there can be H2S vapor. At low concentrations H2S
smells almost the same as bad eggs. You cannot sense H2S at moderate
concentrations. H2S will cause nausea and dizziness.

3.7 Acid number


Fuels with high acid numbers have caused damage to fuel injection systems. Most
fuels have a low acid number, which is not dangerous, but an acid number above
2.5 mg KOH/g, can cause problems. Some naphthenic fuels can have an acid
number of more than 2.5 mg KOH/g, but still be permitted. Only a full laboratory
analysis can find the strong acid number.

3.8 Sediment, carbon residue, asphaltenes


High quantities of sediment, carbon and asphaltenes decrease the ignition and
combustion quality of the fuel and increase wear and damage to engine compo-
nents. Asphaltenes also have an effect on the stability of mixed fuels and can
cause too much sludge in the separators and filters. If the mixed fuel is not stable,
particles can collect on the bottom of the tank.
To keep risks to a minimum, make sure that bunkers from different suppliers and
sources are not mixed in the storage tanks on board. Also be careful when HFO is
mixed on board to decrease the viscosity. Paraffinic distillate, when added to an
HFO of low stability reserve, can cause the asphaltenes to collect, which causes
heavy sludge.
HFO can contain up to 14% asphaltenes and will not cause ignition and combus-
tion problems in 2-stroke engines if the fuel preparation equipment is adjusted cor-
rectly.

3.9 Pour point


The operation temperature of the fuel must be kept between approximately 5_C to
10_C above the pour point to make sure that the fuel can flow easily.

3.10 Water
The separator and the correct configuration of drains in the settling and service
tanks is used to decrease the water quantity in the fuel. A complete removal of wa-
ter is highly recommended to decrease the quantity of hydrophilic cat fines and so-
dium in the fuel. Sodium is not a natural oil component, but diesel engine fuel often
has sea water contamination, which has sodium. 1.0% sea water in the fuel is re-
lated to 100 ppm sodium.
To get a good separation effect, the flow rate and temperature of the fuel must be
adjusted in relation to the viscosity. For high-viscosity fuels the separation temper-
ature must be increased, although the flow rate must be decreased in relation to
the nominal capacity of the separator. For the recommended data to operate the
separator, refer to the instruction manual.

3.11 Ash and trace metals


Fuels with a low content of ash, vanadium, sodium, aluminium, silicon, calcium,
phosphorous and zinc are recommended. These materials can increase mechan-
ical wear, high-temperature corrosion and particles in the turbocharger, exhaust
system and boilers.

3.11.1 Vanadium and sodium


Sodium compounds decrease the melting point of vanadium oxide and sulphate
salts, specially when the vanadium to sodium ratio is 3:1. High sodium quantities
(as well as lithium and potassium) at the engine inlet can damage the turbochar-
ger, exhaust system and boilers. Ash modifiers can correct the effect of high-tem-
perature corrosion and particles.

0710−1/A1 Operation

Diesel Engine Fuels

3.11.2 Aluminium and silicon


Aluminum (Al) and silicon (Si) in the fuel are an indication of catalytic fines (cat
fines). These are particles of hard oxides (round particles of material almost the
same as porcelain) which cause high abrasive wear to pistons, piston rings and
cylinder liners. Cat fines are used as a catalyst in some processes in petroleum
refining and can be found in diesel engine fuels. The most dangerous cat fines are
between 10 microns and 20 microns.
Cat fines are attracted to water droplets and are very difficult to remove from the
fuel. With correct treatment in the fuel separator, the aluminium and silicon content
of 60 ppm (mg/kg) can be decreased to 15 ppm (mg/kg), which is thought to be
satisfactory. For satisfactory separation, a fuel temperature as close as possible to
98_C is recommended. If there are more than 40 ppm cat fines in the bunkered
fuel, a decreased flow rate in the separator is recommended. Also, the instructions
of the equipment manufacturer must be obeyed.
Cat fines can collect in the sediment of the fuel tank from other bunkers. During bad
weather conditions, the movement of the ship mixes the sediment into the fuel.
Thus, it is better to think that all fuels contain cat fines, although it is possible that a
fuel analysis can show a different result. This makes continuous and satisfactory
separation very important.
Remark: The Al+Si limit in the new ISO 8217:2010 specification is decreased
to 60 mg/kg for the RMG and RMK grades.

3.12 Used lubricating oil and chemical waste


Used lubricating oils and chemical waste must not be mixed into the fuel pool. If
used lubricating oil is mixed in, fuel is not stable because the base oil is very paraf-
finic and can cause too much sludge. Most used lubricating oil is from the crank-
case, thus sufficiently large quantities of calcium, zinc, phosphorous and other ad-
ditives and wear metals can cause contamination. The limits in ISO 8217: 2010
and the Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. specification make sure that no used lubricat-
ing oil is in the fuel. This is related to the limits of the test methods used to find the
levels of these metals, which can occur naturally in the fuel.
Chemical waste must not be added to the fuel. There were some examples of poly-
mers, styrene and other chemical substances found in fuel. These materials can
cause the fuel to become too thick, to become almost solid and to block filters.
They can also cause damage to fuel injection systems and cause fuel pump plung-
ers and injectors to stop.

Diesel Engine Fuels

Distillate fuels are used more in 2-stroke engines to meet area specified emission
standards. They are easier to operate than residual fuel, but caution is necessary
for some problems. See Service Bulletin RT−82: Distillate Fuel Use.
ISO 8217: 2010 specifies DMX, DMA, DMZ and DMB categories. The Wärtsilä en-
gine inlet specification is based on the DMB grade which is the highest viscosity
grade. The DMX grade must not be bunkered as the viscosity could be below 2.0
mm2/s and the flash point could be below 60_C.

5. Data about Distillate Fuel Specifications

5.1 Viscosity
The recommended viscosity range on residual fuel upstream of the engine inlet is
13 mm2/s (cSt) to 17 mm2/s (cSt). But, because distillate fuel does not have such a
high viscosity, a minimum viscosity of 2.0 mm2/s (cSt) at the fuel pump inlet is nec-
essary.
Operators must be careful during the change-over procedure from distillate to re-
sidual fuel and back to make sure of problem free operation. See the Service docu-
ment: Engine operation on MDO/MGO, change-over from HFO to MDO/MGO and
the Service Bulletin RT−82: Distillate Fuel Use.
In some conditions, it is possible that you cannot get the minimum viscosity of
2.0 mm2/s (cSt) at the fuel pump inlet. In such conditions, a fuel cooling system will
be necessary to make sure that the inlet to the fuel pumps has the minimum viscos-
ity.

5.2 Density
The composition of the fuel gives the distillate density and a high density indicates
a high aromatic quantity.

5.3 Cetane Index


The ignition and combustion properties of a distillate fuel in a diesel engine is re-
lated to the specific engine design, load profile and fuel properties. The Cetane
Index is a calculated quantity of the ignition properties or ignition interval of the fuel
related to the distillation and density. The density and the temperature when 10%,
50% and 90% of the fuel is distilled, gives the Cetane Index. This has no effect on
the fuel combustion properties.

5.4 Sulphur
Sulphur limits are specified in ISO 8217:2010 for distillate fuels, but statutory spe-
cifications must be obeyed. The alkalinity (BN) of the cylinder lubricating oil must
be selected in relation to the sulphur content of the fuel in use.
The engine can operate for short periods (some hours) with a cylinder lubricating
oil that has an incorrect BN, but a longer operation time must be prevented.
Indications for the selection of the BN of lubricating oil in relation to the sulphur con-
tent of the fuel are found in:
D 0410−1 Running-in New Cylinder Liners and Piston Rings
D 0750−1 Lubricating Oils, paragraph 3.

5.5 Flash point


The flash point is an important safety and fire hazard parameter for diesel fuels.
Fuel is always a fire hazard because there can be flammable vapors above the
remaining fuel in the tanks.

5.6 Hydrogen sulphide


Injury Hazard: Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) is a very toxic gas and exposure to
high concentrations is dangerous and can kill you. Be careful when tanks or
fuel lines are opened because there can be H2S vapor. At low concentrations
H2S smells almost the same as bad eggs. You cannot sense H2S at moderate
concentrations. H2S will cause nausea and dizziness.

5.7 Acid number


Fuels with high acid numbers have caused damage to fuel injection systems. Most
fuels have a low acid number, which is not dangerous, but an acid number above
2.5 mg KOH/g, can cause problems.

5.8 Sediment
High quantities of sediment decrease the ignition and combustion quality of the
fuel and increase wear and damage to engine components. High sediment quant-
ities can cause filters to block, or frequent discharge from filter systems that have
automatic cleaning. For more data about mixtures, see paragraph 3.8 in the HFO
section.

5.9 Pour point


The operation temperature of the fuel must be kept between approximately 5_C to
10_C above the pour point to make sure that the fuel is pumped easily. It is possible
that in extremely cold conditions, there could be problems for distillate fuel.

5.10 Water
The quantity of water in distillate fuel can be decreased as follows:
D Let the fuel settle in the service tanks
D Use the centrifuge to remove water from the fuel.

5.11 Ash and trace metals


Distillates must have low quantities of ash, vanadium, sodium, aluminium, silicon,
calcium, phosphorous and zinc related to residual fuels. High quantities of these
materials increase mechanical wear, high-temperature corrosion and particles in
the turbocharger, exhaust system and the boilers.

5.12 Used lubricating oil and other contaminants


Lubricating oils and chemical waste must not be mixed into the distillate fuel pool.
Lubricating oil can cause water to stay because of the large quantity of detergent.
Additive materials such as calcium, magnesium, zinc and phosphorous could in-
crease the ash content to more than that given in the specification.
Chemical waste must not be added to distillate fuel. There were some examples of
chemical waste substances found in fuel. These materials can cause the fuel to
become too thick, to become almost solid and to block filters. They can also cause
damage to fuel injection systems and cause fuel pump plungers and injectors to
stop.

6. Bio-derived products and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME)

Such components can be found in diesel engine fuels and can cause a decrease of
greenhouse gases and SOx emissions. Most bio-fuel components in the diesel
pool are Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME), which come from a special chemical
treatment of natural plant oils. These components are mandatory in automotive
and agricultural diesel in some countries. FAME is specified in ISO 14214 and
ASTM D 6751.
FAME has good ignition properties and very good lubrication and environmental
properties, but the other properties that follow about FAME are well known:
D Possible oxidation and thus long term storage problems.
D A chemical force that causes fuel and water to combine
D Microbial growth can appear in the fuel
D Unsatisfactory low temperature properties.
D FAME material particles can appear on exposed surfaces and filter elements.
Where FAME is used as a fuel, make sure that the on board storage, handling,
treatment, service and machinery systems can be used with such a product.

7. Fuel Additives

Usually, fuel additives are not necessary to make sure of the satisfactory operation
of fuels that obey the ISO 8217:2010 standard. But some operators can use spe-
cified additives to change the effect of some fuel properties. Wärtsilä Services
Switzerland Ltd. can make an analysis of such additives and supply a No Objec-
tion Letter for specified additives if they are in the limits of internal specifications.
Remark: Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. and Wärtsilä Services, Switzerland Ltd. do
not accept liability or responsibility for the performance or potential damage
caused by the use of such additives.

Fuel Treatment, Fuel Oil System

1. General

Heavy fuel oils (HFO), as they are supplied today for use in diesel engines must
have careful treatment, which makes the installation of applicable plant necessary.
The best procedure to remove solid particles and water from fuel is to use centrifu-
gal separators.

2. Treatment of heavy fuel oils and treatment plant

HFO are contaminated with solid particles and water. If HFO that is dirty or not suffi-
ciently treated goes into the engine, wear on engine components can occur (e.g.
piston rings, cylinder liners, injection pumps, valves etc). Also, too much sediment
can collect in the combustion spaces.
Sodium in the fuel (which comes from seawater) causes contamination on the pis-
tons and in the turbocharger. The water must be carefully removed from the fuel.
Settling tanks are used for the first steps of treatment, but their effect is only a
coarse separation to release water from the HFO. The settling tanks must have the
sludge and water, that collects in the bottom of the tank, drained at intervals.
Correctly operated centrifuges that are of the best size and adjustment are used to
get good results during the procedure to clean the fuel. Modern designs mean that
is not necessary to adapt the gravity discs for fuels of different densities.
Modern machines automatically remove the sludge from the centrifuge. For mod-
ern engines designed to burn HFO of the lowest grade, such centrifuges are ne-
cessary. This is applicable when HFO with densities of 991 kg/m3 and higher and
with viscosities of 700 cSt/50_C are used. For more data, see 0710−1 Diesel En-
gine Fuels.
Homogenizers can improve combustion properties, but cannot remove solid
particles from the fuel. Homogenizers thus, are only auxiliaries in the treatment
plant.
Filters hold solid particles of a specified size and shape, but cannot hold back wa-
ter. Water will cause the filters to block quickly.

Fuel Treatment, Fuel Oil System

3. Heavy fuel oil and diesel fuel oil separation

It is recommended that modern centrifuges are used for the treatment of heavy
fuels.
The separation effect, i.e. the cleaning effect, is related to the flow rate and viscos-
ity of the HFO. Usually, the smaller the volume (m3/h or ltr/h) and the lower the vis-
cosity of the HFO, the better the separation. If the flow rate is too high and/or the
separation temperature is too low, the effect of the separator will be decreased.
If the HFO separators do not operate satisfactorily, it is possible that impurities
(e.g. cat fines) in the bunkers will not be sufficiently removed. This can cause dam-
age to the engine (e.g. increased wear of piston ring, cylinder liner and fuel injec-
tion equipment).
The HFO must be heated before it goes into the centrifuge to keep the temperature
constant to a tolerance of ± 2° C. The separation temperature must be as near as
possible to 98° C. The instructions of the centrifuge manufacturer must be obeyed
during the separation procedure.
The sludge that comes from the separation process must be removed regularly
from the separator drum. For self-cleaning centrifuges, the sequence of the pro-
cedure can be controlled automatically. But in such a plant, personnel must keep
control of the correct function and frequency of procedures. You must do regular
checks to make sure that the sludge from the separator drum can drain freely. This
prevents back pressure, which makes sure that the centrifuge operates correctly
to clean the HFO.

4. Layout of fuel oil system

In the recommended standard plant, pressure is kept in the full fuel system to pre-
vent the evaporation of water in the fuel at the temperature necessary for the heavy
fuel oil (HFO). Refer to Fig. ’A’.
At the applicable position of the three-way valve (10), the low pressure pumps (19)
supply heavy fuel oil from the daily tank (3, 4) to the mixing unit (21). The booster
pumps (22) supplies the fuel from the mixing unit (21) through the end-
heaters (23) and fuel filter (24) to the fuel pumps in the supply unit (28). The rated
capacity of the booster pump (22) is more than that necessary for the engine. The
fuel that the engine does not use flows back to the mixing unit (21). Fuel oil leakage
from the mixing unit (21) flows into the clean fuel oil leakage tank (33) or the fuel oil
overflow tank (33). You can use the clean fuel oil leakage tank (33) to isolate ma-
rine diesel oil (MDO) or marine gas oil (MGO) leakage from HFO leakage.
The pressure regulating valve (17) sets the applicable system pressure. The pres-
sure retaining valve (27) sets the pressure at the inlet to the fuel pumps (for the
adjustment value, see 0250−1 Operating Data Sheet).
The pump (19) supplies only as much heavy fuel oil from the HFO daily tank (3) as
necessary for the engine. If necessary, the temperature of the heavy fuel oil in the
HFO daily tank (3) must be increased.
Remark: The official safety regulations give a maximum temperature limit of the
heavy fuel oil (HFO).
The temperature of the fuel between the mixing unit (21) and the fuel system on the
engine must be increased to the applicable injection temperature. The
end-heater (23) increases the temperature of this fuel. If necessary during the
temperature increase, the heating systems of the mixing unit (21) and the return
pipe can be set to on.
HFO must not go into the marine diesel oil (MDO) daily tank (6).

Scavenge Air and Compressed Air

1. Scavenge air

The turbocharger compresses the air necessary for scavenge air and charge air
for the cylinders, from the engine room or from outside (see Turbocharging
6500−1).
The air must be as clean as possible to keep the wear of cylinder liner, piston rings,
turbocharger compressor etc. to a minimum. Silencers are installed to the suction
part. The silencers have filter mats in them, which help to keep the air clean. The
filter mats must be serviced and/or cleaned regularly (see 6510−1 Cleaning the
Turbocharger during Operation).

2. Compressed air

2.1 Starting air


Compressors pump air into the starting air bottles to a maximum of 30 bar. The
starting air from the starting air bottles enters directly into the cylinder. This air must
be clean and dry. The starting air bottles must be regularly drained to remove
condensation (see 8018−1 Starting Air Diagram).

2.2 Control air


The control air and air spring air supplied from the shipboard system must be clean
and dry.
If no air comes from the control air board supply, compressed air at decreased
pressure is available from the starting air supply (see 4003−2 Control Diagram).

1. General

The engine has different oils for system oil and cylinder lubrication.

2. System Oil

System oil lubricates the bearings, the running parts of the engine and the
crosshead assembly. System oil is also used as hydraulic fluid in the servo oil
system of the engine and used to cool the pistons (see 8016−1 Lubricating oil
system).
The system oil must have the properties that follow:
D An additive-type crankcase oil of the SAE 30 viscosity grade must be used as
system oil.
D The oil must have a minimum base number (BN) of 5.0 mg KOH/g and
detergent properties.
D The oil must have the load carrying performance from the FZG gear machine
test method A/8, 3/90 in accordance with ISO 14635−1, failure load stage 11
as a minimum.
D The oil must also have good thermal stability, anti-corrosion and anti-foam
properties, and good demulsifying performance.
Remark: Validated system oils for Wärtsilä 2-stroke engines are shown in
paragraph 8.2. For different or new lubricating oils, speak to or send a message to
Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. or Wärtsilä Services Switzerland Ltd.

2.1 Oil Care

2.1.1 System Oil


To keep the lubricating oil in good condition for long periods, good oil treatment is
necessary. To do this, a self-cleaning, centrifugal separator is used.
A self-cleaning, centrifugal separator is used as a purifier in by-pass. The oil flows
from the oil tank through the centrifugal separator. The system oil volume must be
put through the centrifugal separator a minimum of three times each day. The
manufacturer of the centrifugal separator sets the output. The recommended oil
temperature for this treatment is between 96 _C and 98 _C unless otherwise
recommended by the centrifugal separator supplier.

Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. 1/ 16 2015-07


0750−1/A1 Operation

Lubricating Oils

Solid contaminants (dirt) and water must be removed from the oil as completely as
possible. There is always a risk that water, specially sea water, can enter the
system and cause corrosion on engine parts. Water contamination can also cause
bacterial infection of the oil, which gives a decrease in lubrication and heavy
corrosion of the system. Good maintenance is the best precaution to keep water
out of the oil. The water content of the lubricating oil must not be more than 0.2% by
mass during a long period. If higher water contamination is seen, special
procedures such as treatment in the centrifugal separator, or in a renovating tank
must be done.
Make sure that the coarse and fine filters of the servo oil system are serviceable.
For more data, see the documentation of the fine filter manufacturer and
paragraph 2.3.2.

2.1.2 Servo Oil System


To increase the lifetime of the sliding parts, fine-filtered oil is used in this system.
This fine-filtered oil, which is divided from the system oil, flows through an
automatic filter which flushes back to the system oil.
The process and the low differential pressure must be monitored during the
operation of the automatic filter (see 0240−1 Usual operation and documentation
of the automatic filter manufacturer).
The bypass filter element can be used temporarily to inspect and clean the regular
filter elements, or if these must be removed.

2.2 Limits for Selected System Oil Parameters


You make an analysis of the selected parameters to estimate the condition of the
lubricating system oil. Regular checks can find deterioration early and procedures
can be done to correct the problems.
Make sure that the limits of the system oil are not more than those given in the
Table 1 for long periods in service.

water content is 0.20% of the mass of the total solution.
If one of the limits of the system oil is at a value given in the table above, applicable
procedures must be done to correct the problem. Such procedures can be
purification (decrease of the flow rate, adjustment of temperatures), treatment in a
renovating tank (settling tank) or partial exchange of the oil charge. It is
recommended that you speak to the oil supplier in such a condition.
The oil condemnation limits are given in Table 2. If the oil condition has so much
deterioration that the purifier and filters cannot make the condition better, some of
the oil charge must be replaced. The oil charge will then go back to a satisfactory
performance level.

These limits are a guide. The condition of the oil in the system cannot be fully
calculated by one parameter. Other oil parameters must be used to find the cause
of the problem, and the applicable treatment.
If the Base Number (BN) of the system oil increases suddenly, do a check of the
piston rod gland box and piston rod condition.
If the Base Number (BN) of the system oil increases suddenly, do a check of the
piston rod gland box and piston rod condition.
Some consumption and replenishment of the system oil is necessary to keep the
oil in good condition.
If there is an important decrease in the flash point below the recommended value
shown above, Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. recommends a replenishment of the oil
charge.
By a replenishment, an increase in the system oil BN is prevented. A small
increase in BN is often an indication that the system oil consumption is low.
The open cup type of flash point test procedure (e.g. COC) must be used to decide
if some of the oil, or a full oil change is necessary. The closed cup type of flash point
test procedure (e.g. PMCC) can be used to monitor the system oil condition, but
not for oil change.
The FZG performance (to the procedure in ISO 14635−1) of the oil is important if a
new gear wheel is installed or was polished. This gives protection against scuffing
during the running-in of the gears.
If the system oil is in use for more than one year, the FZG performance of the oil
must be done to make sure that the performance is sufficient for the new or
polished gear(s).
You must do regular on-board checks of the BN and water content to get an early
indication of a lower oil quality.

2.3 Particle Size and Count


Particle size analysis can give useful data about the wear in an engine. Abrasive
particles in the oil can cause wear, thus the procedures must be carefully followed.
The hydraulic system operates the exhaust valve and the fuel and cylinder
lubricating oil injection systems, (i.e. the servo oil downstream of the fine filter,
which is usually 10 mm maximum sphere passing size). Some engines have a
25 mm maximum or other fine filter.

2.3.1 Recommended Limits for ISO 4406 Particle Count


The specification for a 100 ml oil sample is ISO 4406 19/17/14 maximum in the
servo oil downstream of the filter, which means:
D A maximum of 500 000 particles of size equal to or more than 4 mm
D A maximum of 130 000 particles of size equal to or less than 6 mm
D A maximum of 16 000 particles of size equal to or more than 14 mm.
This is the same as the specification before for a maximum of NAS Class 8 particle
count.
The samples that follow are acceptable:
D ISO 4406 19/15/11
D ISO 4406 16/13/12
D ISO 4406 15/12/10.
The samples that follow are not acceptable:
D ISO 4406 20/17/13
D ISO 4406 19/16/15
D ISO 4406 20/18/16.

2.3.2 Servo Oil − Particle Counts


If the particle count is more than the limit given, do a check of the coarse and fine
filters. This will make sure that all filter elements, gaskets and seals are not
damaged. If a high particle count continues and the filters are serviceable, it is
possible that an area of wear in the engine causes an unsatisfactory number of
particles. Too many particles can also go into the system oil if the piston rod gland
boxes do not correctly seal and used cylinder lubricating oil mixes with the system
oil.
The purifier removes particles, and you must make sure that the purifier is
operated at the correct temperature. Refer to the manufacturers
recommendations and make sure that the flow rate is adjusted to get the best
operation.

2.4 Oil Samples


At regular intervals, (i.e. at approximately each 3000 operating hours), it is
recommended to get a sample of the system oil. Send the the sample of the system
oil to a laboratory to make an analysis. The analysis must include ISO 4406 particle
counts for samples taken from downstream of the coarse filter or fine filter.
Take the sample downstream of the filter, before the oil flows into the main oil
gallery or the servo oil system. Get a sample of system oil as follows:
1.) Make sure that the oil pump operates and the engine oil is at the correct
temperature for operation.
2.) Put an applicable container below a ball valve in the lubricating system.
3.) Open the ball valve to flush out possible dirt.
4.) Close the ball valve.
5.) Use some oil to clean the container.
6.) Put the container below a ball valve.

7.) Open the ball valve to get a sample


8.) Close the ball valve.
9.) Put the sample in a bottle.
10.) Write the data that follows on the bottle:
D Name of the ship or name of plant

D Oil brand and quality.

3. Cylinder Lubricating Oil

A high-alkaline cylinder lubricating oil of the SAE 50 viscosity grade that has a
minimum kinematic viscosity of 18.5 cSt at 100 _C is recommended. But, cylinder
lubricating oils of the viscosity grades SAE 40 and SAE 60 can be used in some
conditions. The Base Number (BN) measured in mg KOH/g in accordance with
method ASTM D 2896 shows the alkalinity of the oil.
To set the correct alkalinity of the cylinder lubricating oil, use an on−board
monitoring programme to monitor the piston underside (PU) drain oil. The residual
base number (BN) of the piston underside drain oil shows if the setting values for
the cylinder lubrication are correct. The BN of the cylinder lubricating oils is not an
index for detergency, but a direct measure of alkalinity. The alkalinity of the cylinder
lubricating oil must be set in relation to the sulphur content of the fuel, engine
operation condition and cylinder lubricating oil feed rate. The higher the sulphur
content, the higher the BN of the cylinder lubricating oil must be. For a list of
validated cylinder lubricating oils, see paragraph 8.2 Cylinder Lubricating Oils.
When the analysis of the piston underside drain oil shows that the engine operates
in the safe area shown in Fig. 2, you can adjust the feed rate and alkalinity of the
cylinder lubricating oil. The permitted maximum feed rate is 1.2 g/kWh (see
7218−1 Cylinder Lubrication and 7218−3 Feed Rate − Adjustment). If the analysis
of the piston underside drain oil shows that an adjustment to a higher feed rate than
1.2 g/kWh is necessary, you must change to a higher BN cylinder lubricating oil.

Fig. 1: Relation between Fuel Sulphur Content and Cylinder Lubricating Oil BN

D Range 1 (see Fig. 1): When the fuel sulphur content is more than 0.1% m/m
and less than 0.5% m/m during operation with BN 15 to BN 25 cylinder
lubricating oil, you must do an analysis of the piston underside drain oil from
the on-board monitoring system. You must obey the data that follows:
D The residual base number must not be less than BN10.
D The iron (Fe) content must be less than 200 ppm.
D Do regular checks of the piston and piston ring conditions through
scavenge port inspections. If necessary, increase the cylinder lubrication
oil feed rate to more than 1.2 g/kWh (see 7218−1 Cylinder Lubrication
and 7218−3 Feed Rate − Adjustment).
Remark: Permitted for engine operation of less than 48 hours only.

D Range 2 (see Fig. 1): When the fuel sulphur content is more than 0.1% m/m
and less than 0.5% m/m during operation with BN 40 cylinder lubricating oil,
adjust the cylinder lubricating oil feed rate to the guide feed rate (see 7218-1
Cylinder Lubrication). This prevents too much piston crown and top land
deposits.
Remark: Permitted for engine operation of less than 48 hours only.

D Range 3 (see Fig. 1): When the fuel sulphur content is more than 0.5% m/m
and less than 1.0% m/m during operation with BN 70 to BN 80 cylinder
lubricating oil, adjust the cylinder lubricating oil feed rate to the guide feed rate
(see 7218-1 Cylinder Lubrication). This prevents too much piston crown and
top land deposits.
Remark: Permitted for engine operation of less than 48 hours only.

D Range 4 (see Fig. 1): When the fuel sulphur content is more than 1.5% m/m
and less than 2.0% m/m during operation with BN 100 cylinder lubricating oil,
adjust the cylinder lubricating oil feed rate to the guide feed rate (see 7218-1
Cylinder Lubrication). This prevents excessive piston crown and top land
deposits.
D Range 5 (see Fig. 1): When the fuel sulphur content is more than 2.5% m/m
and less than 3.5% m/m during operation with BN 70 to BN 80 cylinder
lubricating oil, operation is permitted only, when you do an analysis of the
piston underside drain oil from the on-board monitoring system. You must
obey the data that follows:
D Do regular checks of the piston and piston ring conditions through
scavenge port inspections.
D Do regular checks of the cylinder liner condition.
D You must obey the data given in Fig. 2.
Remark: From 1st January 2015 only fuel with less than 0.1% m/m sulphur content
must be used in Emission Control Areas (ECA). You can use SOx scrubbers to
reduce the effective exhaust sulphur content. For more data, see paragraph 7.
Remark: Use a BN 100 cylinder lubricating oil, if the fuel sulphur content is more
than 2.5% m/m and no piston underside drain oil monitoring system is installed.
Remark: Monitor the piston underside residual BN of the cylinder lubricating oil
and examine the piston rings and cylinder liners. This makes sure that you select
the applicable BN oil, set the best oil feed rate, prevent corrosion and excessive
piston crown deposits and top land deposits. For more data, see 7218−1 Cylinder
Lubrication and 7218−3 Feed Rate − Adjustment.
Cylinder lubricating oils that have a BN that is too high for the fuel sulphur content
can cause excessive deposits on the piston crown. Piston crown deposits must be
carefully monitored through scavenge port inspections. The deposits can cause
the lubricant film to break down and excessive liner, piston and piston ring wear.
BN 40 cylinder lubricating oils have neutral additives (low BN) to increase the
detergency level and thermal stability to the level of a BN 70 cylinder lubricating oil.
No significant increase in corrosive cylinder liner and piston ring wear is to be
expected when BN 40 cylinder lubricating oils are used (up to 1.5% m/m sulphur)
when the cylinder lubricating oil feed rate is kept high. You must make sure that the
cylinder lubrication feed rate is applicable (maximum 1.2 g/kWh), related to the
data from the analysis (residual base number) of the piston underside drain oil.
BN 40 lubrication oils cause less and softer deposits on the piston crown land and
in exhaust areas (e.g. on the turbocharger nozzle ring) in relation to the BN 70 and
other higher BN products at the same feed rate.
The BN 40 products can also be used safely with HFO that has a sulphur content in
the range 0.5% m/m to 1.5% m/m. It is possible that the feed rate must be
increased in relation to the remaining BN measured in the piston underside drain
oil or scrape-down samples.
There are intermediate (between BN 50 and BN 60) and other BN cylinder
lubricating oils available. To use these cylinder lubricating oils, make sure that their
performance is monitored regularly. Also, make sure that the cylinder lubricating
oil feed rate is adjusted to prevent a piston underside BN that is too low. Incorrectly
adjusted piston underside BN can cause high corrosive wear and scuffing (see the
limits and recommendations in paragraph 3.2.

company assumes all responsibility for the performance of the cylinder lubricating
oils in service of all Wärtsilä 2-stroke engines to the exclusion of any liability of any

possible manufacturers and distributors of the products in question shall
indemnify, compensate and hold free from liability, Wärtsilä and companies
belonging to the Wärtsilä group from and against any claims, damages and losses
caused by the cylinder lubricating oils in question.
To prevent problems with fuel sulphur content, keep sufficient fuel from the bunker
you took before. This can be used until an analysis of the sulphur content of the
new bunker is received. The results of the bunker analysis and the values given in
the Bunker Delivery Note (BDN) can be different. Always use the higher sulphur
content value to set the feed rate to make sure that the engine operates safely.

3.2 Oil Samples − Piston Underside Drain or Scrape-down


Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. recommends to get piston underside drain oil
(scrape-down oil) samples at regular intervals from each cylinder and to make an
analysis to monitor the engine condition.
These analysis are used to make an estimate of the cylinder liner and piston ring
wear and to set the applicable alkalinity and feed rate of the cylinder lubricating oil.
The data given in paragraph 3.1, 7218−1 Cylinder Lubrication and 7218−3 Feed
Rate − Adjustment are calculated values. The applicable values for each engine
can be different, related to the engine and operating conditions.
You can adjust the cylinder lubricating feed rate related to the analysis of the piston
underside drain oil. The permitted maximum feed rate is 1.2 g/kWh (see 7218−1
Cylinder Lubrication and 7218−3 Feed Rate − Adjustment). If the analysis of the
piston underside drain oil shows that an adjustment to a higher feed rate than 1.2
g/kWh is necessary, you must change to a higher BN cylinder lubricating oil.
The recommended intervals for an analysis of the piston underside drain oil are:
D At each bunker change of the HFO (very important if the sulphur content of the
HFO is more than 2.5% m/m).
D At each change of more than 10% CMCR of the average engine (24 hours).
D A minimum of one time each week.
Wear metals, the residual BN, viscosity, fuel components and water are
measured. The quantity of system oil additive metals in the sample gives an
indication about the piston rod gland box condition. It is important to monitor trends
and not full values, and to think about the actual quantity of drained oil relative to
the analysis results.
For data about the procedure to get an oil sample from the piston underside, see
8016-1 Lubricating Oil System, paragraph 2.1 Dirty Oil Samples.
The total iron in the scrape down oil is measured to determine the corrosion of the
liners and steel parts. A large quantity of system oil can be mixed with the used
cylinder lubricating oil in the piston underside space. To get an accurate view of the
used cylinder lubricating oil, a correction is necessary to remove the effect of the
system oil on the results. The iron and residual BN values are corrected in relation
to the phosphorus and/or zinc content of the system oil in the used cylinder
lubricating oil. This correction analysis must be done carefully because some
cylinder lubricating oils also include phosphorus and/or zinc.

0750−1/A1 Operation

Lubricating Oils

The analyses of many piston underside samples from a wide range of engines that
operate with a high sulphur content in the range 0.5% m/m to 3.5% m/m and
cylinder lubricating oil from BN 40 to Bn 100 has shown:
D The safe corrected piston underside residual BN to prevent piston ring and
liner corrosion is more than 25 mg KOH/g but less than 50 mg KOH/g (see
Fig. 2).
D The alert corrected limit for piston underside residual BN to prevent excessive
corrosion is approximately 15 mg KOH/g.
D The danger corrected limit is less than 10 mg KOH/g piston underside
remaining BN. It is possible that there will be excessive corrosion and fast
piston ring and liner wear if not corrected. Scuffing and the fast failure of piston
rings and very fast corrosive liner wear is possible.
It is necessary to find the safe value for continuous operation on fuel oil with a low
sulphur content (of between 0.0% m/m and 0.5% m/m) and a low BN cylinder
lubricating oil (between BN 15 and BN 25) for each engine. To find this safe value,
you monitor the piston underside samples and do regular checks of the pistons,
piston rings and cylinder liners for excessive deposits, corrosion and wear.
Fig. 2 shows data for fuel oil with a sulphur content in the range of 1.5% m/m to
3.5% m/m and cylinder lubricating oil with a base number between BN 50 to
BN 100.

Fig. 2 shows the operation ranges for engines with chrome ceramic piston rings
and fully honed cylinder liners installed. It shows the relation between the piston
underside total oil iron content and the residual BN. If necessary, the cylinder
lubricating oil BN and/or feed rate must be adjusted to prevent excessive corrosion
or magnetic iron in the piston underside oil.

Operation 0750−1/A1

Lubricating Oils

For engines with chrome ceramic piston rings installed, the chromium content of
the piston underside oil shows if there is corrosion or wear in the engine.
D A chromium content less than 25 mg/kg shows small corrosion or wear in the
engine.
D A chromium value more than 25 mg/kg shows corrosion or wear in the engine.
The lifetime of the piston rings and the cylinder liners can decrease.
D The chromium value must not be more than 25 mg/kg for a longer period.
Remark: Engines with cast iron or non-chrome ceramic piston rings installed, can
have a much larger total iron level than engines with chrome ceramic piston rings
under usual operation conditions.

3.3 General Recommendations


Service experience has shown that the corrosion behavior can vary significantly
while the engine operates at less than 60% CMCR (low load).
If the engine is to be operated at continuous low load (i.e. more than 24 hours of
operation below 60% CMCR) and the sulphur content of the used HFO is more
than 2.5% m/m, Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. strongly recommends the use of a
BN 100 cylinder lubricating oil, as the cylinder oil feed rate cannot be adjusted to
adequately compensate for the lower alkalinity. If you use a cylinder lubricating oil
with a BN less than 100, the permitted maximum feed rate is 1.2 g/kWh (see
7218−1 Cylinder Lubrication and 7218−3 Feed Rate − Adjustment). If the analysis
of the piston underside drain oil shows that an adjustment to a higher feed rate than
1.2 g/kWh is necessary, you must change to a BN 100 cylinder lubricating oil.
For data about validated cylinder lubricating oils, see paragraph 8.2.
Remark: You can use the Wärtsilä Blending on Board package to adjust the base
number of the cylinder lubricating oil. For more data, speak to or send a message
to Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. or Wärtsilä Services Switzerland Ltd.
It is necessary to monitor the residual BN at regular intervals (see paragraph 3.1
and paragraph 3.2). Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. recommends the use of an
on-board monitoring programme that, at a minimum, gives you an analysis of the
residual BN from the piston underside drain oil. Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. also
recommends the analysis of the total iron and chromium content in the piston
underside oil. A sudden increase of the iron or chromium content indicates
excessive cold corrosion (see paragraph 3.2). For more data, see Technical
Bulletin RT-161.

3.4 Intermediate BN Lubricating Oils


If an intermediate BN cylinder lubricating oil (BN is more than 40 mg KOH/g and
less than 70 mg KOH/g) is used, Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. recommends the
procedures that follow:
D Use an on-board monitoring programme that, at a minimum, gives you an
analysis of the residual BN from the piston underside drain oil. The
recommended intervals for an analysis are:
a) At each bunker change of the HFO (very important if the sulphur content
of the HFO is more than 2.5% m/m).
b) At each change of more than 10% CMCR of the average engine
(24 hours).
c) A minimum of one time each week.

Lubricating Oils

Caution: For engine operation at less than 60% CMCR (low load) for more than 24
hours, you must only use intermediate BN lubricating oils (between BN 50 and
BN 60) if the sulphur content of the used HFO is in the range of 0.5% m/m to
2.5% m/m.

4. Turbocharger Oil

To select the turbocharger lubricating oil and keep this oil in a satisfactory
condition, refer to the recommendations given in the turbocharger instruction
manual.
The turbocharger lubricating oil is usually system oil or turbine oil.

5. Turning Gear Oil

To select the turning gear oil and keep this oil in a satisfactory condition, refer to the
recommendations given in the instruction manual of the turning gear
manufacturer.

6. Lubricants − Flywheel and Pinion Gear Teeth

To select and apply the lubricants, refer to the specification in the Maintenance
Manual 3206-1, and the recommendations from the engine manufacturer.
The lubricant suppliers are given in paragraph 8.4.

7. Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants

Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) are currently required for ships


operating in USA waters, and this area may be extended in future.
These lubricants which are required for all oil-to-sea interfaces, which include
stern tubes, thrusters, rudders, stabilizers, variable pitch propellers, underwater
ropes and machinery and underwater transmissions are made with base oils and
additives which are significantly different to those used for system and cylinder oil.
Consequently, EAL should not be mixed into system or cylinder oils where they are
to be used in engine applications. Even small contamination of EAL (depending on
base oil quality) into system and cylinder oil can lead to elastomer compatibility,
water emulsification and high temperature deposit formation issues.

Lubricating Oils

Remarks:
1) BN 57 and BN 60 cylinder lubricating oils can be used for the sulphur range:
D Between 0.5% m/m and 3.5% m/m if an on-board monitoring
programme is used.
D Between 0.5% m/m and 2.5% m/m if no on-board monitoring
programme is used, the engine was built before the year 2011 and the
engine load is less than 60% CMCR for more than 24 hours. You must
obey the data given in paragraph 3.3.
If there is a sulphur dependency application, the lubricating oils must be
considered as BN 57 and BN 60 as applicable. The BN 60 break−point and
feed rate adjustment must be applied, see 7218-1 paragraph 6.4 Adjustment
Lubricating Oil Feed Rate.
2) For engines built before the year 2000, BN 50 cylinder lubricating oils can be
used with HFO with a sulphur content up to 2.5% m/m.
3) For engines built before the year 2011, BN 55 cylinder lubricating oils can be
used for the sulphur range:
D Between 1.5% m/m and 2.5% m/m for continuous operation, and
D Between 0.5% m/m and 1.5% m/m for intermittent operation up to 10
days.
4) Applicable only for engines built before the year 1995.
5) These cylinder lubricating oils are not validated at this time.
6). The Base Number (BN) measured in mg KOH/g in accordance with method
ASTM D 2896 shows the alkalinity of the oil.
Remark: Intermediate cylinder lubricating oils (BN is more than 40 mg KOH/g and
less than 70 mg KOH/g) can be used, but their performance must be regularly
monitored. The lubricating oil feed rate must be adjusted to prevent a piston
underside BN which is too low and can cause excessive corrosive wear and
scuffing. See the data given in paragraph 3.4.
You must be very careful, if you use intermediate BN lubricants and HFO with a
sulphur content more than 2.5% m/m.
Remark: If HFO with a sulphur content of between 1.5% m/m to 3.5% m/m is
used, see the data given in paragraph 3.2.

Cooling Water / Cooling Water Treatment

1. General

An applicable treatment is used to give the cooling water the correct properties,
which will prevent service problems. Untreated cooling water can soon cause
problems in the cooling system from corrosion, sediment and hard particles
(crusts).

2. Raw water for closed cooling water circuits

To fill the system the raw water must be completely desalinated. Condensate water
from e.g. the fresh water generators or from auxiliary steam systems can be used,
but must have additives. Condensate water is highly corrosive and must have
corrosion inhibitors to prevent problems.
Use potable water or process water from the local mains only as a last option. The
hardness of this water must not be more than 10_dH (German hardness degrees).
If the hardness is more than this limit, desalinate the water to the values given in the
table below.
See the data in the table that follows to get the necessary raw water quality:

Parameter Value
Hardness 3_dH to 10_dH
Content of chlorides and sulphates not more than 100 mg/liter
pH value 8 to 10

Do not use seawater as raw water. Sea water has a high salt content.
In you think there is a problem, do an analysis of the water. Send the results of the
analysis to Wärtsilä Services Switzerland Ltd to get advice.
Corrosion protection oils (emulsion oils) are not recommended for the treatment of
the cooling water. If instructions about the use of corrosion protection oils are not
obeyed and coolant checks are not sufficient, then water-oil emulsion can occur.
This can cause the cooling system to become clogged.

3. Cooling water during operation

As given above, the cooling water must have the correct corrosion inhibitor. Well
proven in service are inhibitors that contain the agents NITRITE and BORATE. You
can get a list of recommended products from Wärtsilä Services Switzerland Ltd.
The instructions of the manufacturer must be obeyed for the correct dosage of the
corrosion inhibitor. You must do regular checks during operation to keep the
correct concentration.
It is recommended that you choose such suppliers of inhibitors who can also give
specified advice for the new fill and for during operation.
If there are leakages, you must add the correct quantity of water with the correct
concentration of inhibitor. If evaporation causes a decrease of the coolant, add the
applicable quantity of raw water (see paragraph 2 above). This will make sure that
the concentration of inhibitors is not too much.
The cooling water in the cooling system must have a pH value of 8 to a maximum of
10 (see the table above).

0760−1/A1 Operation

Cooling Water / Cooling Water Treatment

4. Cleaning the cooling water system

For a new fill, the complete cooling system must be clean. The cooling system
must not contain grease, oil or unwanted particles.
During operation oil or sediment can go into the system, which can cause a
decrease in the heat transfer and cooling effect. Such problems will occur after an
unusually short time if the cooling water and system is not monitored correctly. The
complete system must be treated with an applicable agent to remove grease and
chalk sediment. Before a new fill of treated cooling water, the system must be fully
flushed. This will remove sediment and oil and make sure that remaining acids are
made neutral.
There are many cleaning agents available, which we do not list here. We
recommend that you speak to specialist firms that can help you.

If the cylinder lubrication does not operate correctly, the piston rings and cylinder
liners will wear quickly. Also, the piston can seize. Only in emergencies, and then at
decreased power and only for the minimum possible time can the engine operate
without cylinder lubrication.
Faults in the cylinder lubricating system cause related messages in the
WECS–9520, which are sent to the alarm and monitoring system.
Also, the LEDs on the ALM−20 modules come on to show the related faults (see

Failure IDs give data about failures (see paragraph 4.4).
Not all failure ID signals are transmitted to the alarm and monitoring system. The
failure IDs shown on the two-digit LED display are also shown on the flexView.
The Fail LED flashes at the same time as the two-digit LED display.
Failure IDs that are more than 99 are shown as a two-digit display e.g. Failure
ID 125 is shown as 2.5.

4.3.3 Failure
The Fail LED flashes three times before the first failure ID is shown.
Each failure ID is shown for 2.7 seconds, then there is a pause of 1.3 seconds
before the failure ID is shown again.
If there are no more failures, the Fail LED goes off.

Thrust Bearing

1. General

The thrust bearing is installed at the driving end of the engine. The thrust bearing
flange 15 transmits the force from the propeller through the thrust pads 6, 12 into
the bedplate 5 (see Fig. ’A’ and Fig. ’B’).
The arbor supports 4 prevent axial movement of the thrust pads 6, 12.
The thrust pads absorb the axial force from the crankshaft/propeller.

Engines that have a fixed pitch propeller (FPP):


D For clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, seven thrust pads are installed
on each side of the thrust bearing flange. The thrust pads are related and
adapted to the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.

Engines that have a controllable pitch propeller (CPP):


D Thrust pads at the driving end: Each variant, i.e. three thrust pads for
clockwise rotation and four pieces for counterclockwise rotation are installed.
If there is a malfunction of the CPP, the engine must continue to be
manoeuverable and reversed to ASTERN direction.
D Thrust pads at the free end: There are seven thrust pads installed, related and
adapted to the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.
For the location of the different thrust pad versions, refer to the Maintenance
Manual 1224−1.
The gear wheel (on crankshaft) 13 is installed on the thrust bearing flange 15. The
gear wheel moves the intermediate wheel (supply unit) 8.

2. Lubrication

During operation, bearing oil flows through the oil pipe 2 to the two nozzles 3. The
oil flows out of the two nozzles as a spray, which becomes an oil layer between the
thrust bearing flange 15 and the thrust pads 6, 12.

Cylinder Liner

1. General

The screws and holder 8 attach the cylinder liner 9 to the cylinder block 7. The nuts
of the elastic studs connect the cylinder cover 14 and the cylinder liner to the
cylinder block. The area between the cylinder cover and the cylinder liner is sealed
with a gasket 3. The surface ’MS’ is sealed with a non-hardening sealing
compound (see Fig. A).
The upper water guide jacket 1 is attached to the cylinder cover 14 with cap
screws. The lower water guide jacket 12 is attached to the cylinder liner 9 with
bolts.
An insulation bandage 11 is attached to the cylinder liner to keep the wall
temperature of the mid-stroke area in the best range for operation.
An antipolishing ring is installed in the top part of the cylinder liner. The
antipolishing ring 4 removes coke contamination at the piston crown during
operation.

2. Cooling

The cooling water flows through the cooling water inlet ’CI’ into the water space
’WS’, around the cylinder liner 9 and into the lower water guide jacket 12. The
cooling water flows into the annular space ’AS’ through the connection pieces 5
and transition tubes 2. Then the water cools the cylinder cover 14, exhaust valve
seat 15 and valve cage 16.
Remark: Automatic cooling water temperature control:
To prevent unwanted tensions in the top part of the cylinder liner 9 keep the
temperature of the cooling water in the permitted range. The maximum permitted
temperature ranges are:
D ± 2_C at constant load
D ± 4_C during load changes (short time period)
O-rings 10, 13 seal the water space ’WS’ and the annular space ’AS’. If water
leaks, replace the O-rings.

3. Lubrication

Cylinder lubricating oil flows to the running surface of the cylinder liner 9 through
six lubricating quills 6. Lubricating grooves ’LG’ are milled around the
circumference of the cylinder liner and make sure that the lubricating oil is equally
supplied (see Lubricating Quill 2138−1).
For data about the pulse lubrication, see 7218−1.

1. General

The piston rod gland box 1 keeps the dirty oil in the scavenge space ’SS’ and
prevents contamination of the bearing oil (see Fig. ’A’). Also, the piston rod gland
box seals the scavenge air from the crankcase 2.
The screws and ring 7 attach the casing 5 to the cylinder block 4 (see Fig. ’B’). The
extension springs 6 keep the scraper rings 13 and joint rings 11, 12 tightly on the
piston rod. The scraper rings 10 are attached to the ring supports 9. The extension

2. Function

During operation, three scraper rings 13 remove dirty oil from the piston rod 3 (see
Fig. ’A’ and Fig. ’B’). The dirty oil flows through the oil bores ’OB’ and collects in the
bottom of the scavenge space ’SS’. The dirty oil goes out through the oil drain on
fuel side.
Attention! Oil at the bottom of the scavenge space ’SS’ increases the risk of fire.
Examine the drain hole and the pipe for blockage (see 0450−1). If necessary, clean
the drain hole and the pipe (see 0240−1).

Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. 1/ 3 2013


2303−1/A1 Operation

Piston Rod Gland Box

The joint rings 11, 12 keep the scavenge air from the crankcase 2. Because of the
gap losses of the joint rings, the low air pressure is released through the crankcase
venting pipe to the plant.
The oil that flows through the relief passage ’RP’ collects in the neutral space ’NS’.
Then, the oil flows through the leakage oil drain ’LD’ and the leakage oil pipe ’LP’
(see Fig. ’A’ and Fig. ’B’).
Remark: Damaged joint rings increase the quantity of oil in the drain. Get an oil
sample from the sample port ’SP’ (see Fig. ’A’). Measure the quantity or send the oil
sample to the laboratory for analysis of the contamination. If necessary, replace
the joint rings.
The scraper rings 10 remove the bearing oil from the piston rod 3. The bearing oil
flows through the bearing oil drain ’BD’ back to the crankcase 2 (see Fig. ’B’).

Operation 2722−1/A1
Injection Valve

1. General

Three injection valves 2 are attached to each cylinder cover 1 (see Fig. ’A’).
Because of the clearance between the needle 1 and the nozzle body 3, some fuel
can go out of the injection valve (see Fig. ’B’). This fuel goes through connection
’LD’ and drains through the leakage fuel pipe 7 into the collecting piece 6 (see Fig.
’A’ and Fuel Oil System 8019−1).
Fuel oil which possibly leaks between the nozzle body 3 and the nozzle holder 4
rises and appears at the top edge of the cylinder cover at ’LO’.
Remark: If fuel does appear at ’LO’, overhaul the applicable parts. If exhaust gas
goes out of the injection valve at the leakage fuel outlet ’LO’, the sealing face ’SF’ is
damaged. Do an overhaul of the sealing face (see 2708−3 in the Maintenance
Manual).
To do tests, disassembly, assembly and setting of injection valves, see 2722−1 in
the Maintenance Manual.
Attention! Fuel is at high pressure in the fuel leakage pipes 7. Before you remove
the fuel leakage pipes, make sure that the pressure is released.

2. Function

Fuel flows at high pressure from the injection control unit 4 to the three injection
valves 2 (see Fig. ’A’). The necessary quantity of fuel goes through the connection
’FF’ and the bore ’FB’ into the nozzle body 3 (see Fig. ’A’). The pressure increases
and pushes the needle 1 up. The fuel goes through the nozzle tip 2 into the
combustion chamber, where ignition occurs.
After injection, the pressure decreases and the force of the compression spring 5
pushes the needle down. The injection valve closes.

Operation 2728−1/A1
Starting Air Valve

1. General

A starting air valve is installed in each cylinder cover 8 (see Fig. A). The starting air
valves start the engine or decrease the engine speed for reversing.
The Wärtsilä Engine Control System (WECS−9520) monitors and controls the
starting air valve operation (see 4002−1, paragraph 4.4). FCM−20 modules open
the starting air valves electronically at the correct crank angle to release starting air
into the combustion chamber.
The parameter settings of the starting air valves are adjustable. The remote control
of the WECS−9520 gives access to the parameter settings (see 4618−1,
paragraph 2.2).
For data about starting air manifold venting, read the instructions in 0320−1,
paragraph 1.2.
For more data, see the schematic diagram in 4003−2.

2. Function

Initial conditions:
The space ’SA’ is pressurized with starting air. The air flows through the bores ’CB’
to pressurize the space ’S3’ (see Fig. A). The compression spring 6 and the starting
air push the piston 4 up and keep the starting air valve closed.
Connection ’CA’ is pressurized with control air from the starting air pipe. The
5/2-way solenoid valve 1 is deactivated. Thus, the control air from connection ’CA’
cannot go into the space ’S1’.
Space ’S2’ is pressurized with control air from connection ’CA’. The air flows into
the space ’S2’ through the 5/2-way solenoid valve and the connecting pipe.

Engine start:
The FCM−20 module activates the 5/2-way solenoid valve 1. The control air from
connection ’CA’ goes into the space ’S1’ and the pressure in space ’S2’ is released.
The pressure in space ’S1’ moves the piston 4 and valve spindle 7 down and the
starting air flows into the combustion chamber. Thus, the piston moves down the
cylinder liner and starts to turn the engine.
When combustion starts, the higher pressure (firing pressure) in the combustion
chamber keeps the starting air valve closed.

Slow down the engine speed to reverse:


If the combustion and thus the propulsion stops, the movement of the ship
continues. The flow of the water turns the propeller and ’drags’ the engine in the
initial direction of rotation. To start the engine in the opposite direction, it is
necessary to slow down the engine speed below the set limit. Related to the engine
speed and the propeller configuration, this can take some time, even minutes.
At the specified engine speed the WECS−9520 opens the starting air valve at
approximately 100_ before TDC. The starting air flows into the combustion
chamber. The piston moves up, compresses the air and the engine speed
decreases and stops.
The engine is then started in the opposite direction of rotation. For more data about
reversing, see 0260−1, paragraph 2.2.

Operation 2751−1/A3
Exhaust Valve

1. General

The exhaust valve is attached to the center of cylinder cover 10 and has the parts
that follow:
D Upper housing 2
D Housing 6
D Valve cage 9
D Valve spindle 13
D Valve seat 11
D Air spring ’AS’.
The valve stroke sensor 17 monitors and transmits the open and closed positions
of the exhaust valve to the WECS−9520 engine control system (see Fig. ’B’).
If there is a large pressure difference between when the exhaust valve opens and
the pressure in the air spring ’AS’, damage can occur to the exhaust valve. Thus,
for safety, cup springs 7 are installed to absorb vibration and shock.
The thrust piece 15 prevents damage to the inside piston 5 and the top of the valve
spindle 13 when the exhaust valve operates.
Remark: Before the lubricating oil pump and servo oil service pump are set to on,
the air spring must have pressure and the exhaust valves must be closed. The
engine cannot be started if the exhaust valves are not fully closed.

2. Function

Open:
When the piston in the exhaust valve control unit operates, hydraulic oil ’HO’ flows
through the connection 14 into the upper housing 2. The outside piston 4 and the
inside piston 5 move down. The air spring piston 18, which is attached to the valve
spindle 13, moves down against the pressure in the air spring ’AS’ and the exhaust
valve opens. The force of the exhaust gas on the rotation wing 17 turns the valve
spindle.
Close:
When the hydraulic oil pressure from the exhaust valve control unit decreases (i.e.
when the control rod in the exhaust valve control unit opens the related relief
bores) the pressure in the air spring ’AS’ pushes the air spring piston 18 up. The
valve spindle 13 then pushes the inside piston 5 and the outside piston 4 up and
the exhaust valve closes. The hydraulic oil in the upper housing 2 flows back to the
exhaust valve control unit.
2.1 Hydraulic system (see Fig. ’B’ and Fig. ’C’)
Hydraulic oil and air in the system flow continuously from the upper housing 2 and
the outside and inside pistons 4, 5 into the leakage oil collection space ’LS’. This
leakage oil / air then drains through the leakage oil drain ’LD’. The hydraulic oil that
flows through the valve control unit continuously makes up the oil loss to the
hydraulic system.
2.2 Air supply to air spring (see Fig. ’C’)
Compressed air enters the inlet connection ’AI’ and flows through the non-return
valve 19, then through the inlet bore ’IB’ and into the air spring ’AS’. When the
exhaust valve opens, the air spring piston 18 moves down and compresses the air
in the air spring. Some of the compressed air flows back through the inlet bore ’IB’.
After the exhaust valve closes, compressed air flows into the air spring again.

2751−1/A3 Operation

Exhaust Valve

3. Lubrication

Leak oil from the outside and inside pistons 4, 5 lubricates the air spring piston 18
(see Fig. C). Oil in the leakage oil collection space ’LS’ drains to the leakage oil
drain ’LD’. While the exhaust valve closes, oil flows through the air spring piston 18
and goes into the air spring ’AS’. The air from the air inlet ’AI’ changes the oil that
collects at the bottom of the air spring (inlet bore ’IB’) to an oil mist. This oil mist
lubricates the top part of the valve spindle 13. When the exhaust valve opens,
unwanted oil flows out of the air spring ’AS’, through the air spring pipe to an
accumulator. The oil in the accumulator automatically drains through the leakage
oil pipe at the driving end and into the crankcase.
Oil from the oil bath ’OB’ lubricates the valve spindle 13 (see Fig. ’C’).
Remark: The oil supply ’OS’ from the cylinder lubrication flows to the guide bush 8.
This gives more lubrication to the valve spindle 13 during the initial hours of engine
operation, or after an exhaust valve overhaul. For more data about the initial hours
of engine operation / after an exhaust valve overhaul, see 7218−1 ’Additional
lubrication of exhaust valve spindle’.

Operation 3140−1/A1
Axial Damper

1. General

The engine has a built-in axial damper. The function of the axial damper is to
decrease axial vibrations.
The axial damper includes an upper cylinder part 1, and a bottom cylinder part 2
attached with bolts to the last bearing girder. The flange 13 is a part of the
crankshaft 9.

2. Function

Bearing oil flows from the oil inlet ’OI’ through the orifice 7 into the spaces ’OS’ to
each side of flange 13. When the crankshaft turns, most of the bearing oil flows
between the oil spaces ’OS’ through the housing 3. The remaining oil drains
through the radial and axial clearances of the gaskets 5 and 6.
Do not operate the engine if there is no oil supply to the axial damper.

3. Monitoring system

The engine has an axial damper monitoring system installed above the end casing
at the free end. This system monitors the oil pressure in the oil spaces ’OS’ of the
axial damper. If the oil pressure decreases below a set value, an alarm is activated
(for more data about the setting values, see Alarms and Safeguards 0250−2).
The reason for this alarm must be found and repaired:
D Orifices in the pressure gauge pipes clogged
D Shut-off valves closed in the pressure gauge pipes
D Low oil pressure and / or high oil temperature in the bearing oil system
D Too much wear of the sealing rings, e.g. dirt particles (clearance too large).

Connecting Rod and Connecting Rod Bearing

1. General

The connecting rod connects the crosshead with the crankshaft and converts the
linear stroke movement of the piston into a turning movement. Bearing shells (that
can be replaced) are installed on the connecting rod 1 for the bottom end bearing
(5 and 6) and for the top end bearing (4). The bearing cover for the top end bearing
(item 3) is lined with white metal. The locking segments 9 prevent incorrect
installation of the crosshead pin.

2. Lubrication

Crosshead lubricating oil flows through the connection ’CO’ to the top end bearing,
and drillings in the crosshead pin let lubricating oil flow to the guide shoes.
Crosshead lubricating oil flows through the oil bore ’OB’ in the connecting rod 1 to
the bottom end bearing.
Bearing oil flows through the connection ’PC’ for piston cooling through related
bores in the crosshead pin and piston rod.

Crosshead and Guide Shoe

1. General

The crosshead guides the piston rod 5 and absorbs the lateral forces that come
from the connecting rod 7.
The piston rod 5 is attached to the crosshead pin 1 with screws. The bearing oil
necessary to cool the piston flows through the groove 12 and the bore ’OB’ to the
piston. The oil ’OR’ flows back to the crosshead pin through the oil pipe 10 and
returns to the crankcase through the drain ’OD’.
The guide shoes 2 stay in position on the small diameters of the crosshead pin and
move up and down in the guide rails 4, which are in the guide ways of the column 9.
The end covers 3 hold the middle parts 11 to the crosshead pin during removal and
prevent too much movement.

1. General

The Wärtsilä Engine Control System (WECS−9520) is specially designed for


two-stroke engines with Wärtsilä Common Rail technology, which includes all
engine-related control functions (paragraph 3) and cylinder-related control
functions (paragraph 4).
The engine-related control functions are as follows:
− Fuel pressure control
− Servo oil pressure
− Cylinder lubricating system.
The cylinder-related control functions are as follows:
− Volumetric injection control, which includes Variable Injection Timing (VIT)
− Exhaust valve control, which includes Variable Exhaust valve Opening (VEO)
and Variable Exhaust valve Closing (VEC)
− Starting valve control
− Crank angle sensor.
Data buses transmit signals between the external systems, the Propulsion Control
System (PCS) and the Alarm and Monitoring System (AMS) (paragraph 5). These
data buses are the interface between the operator and engine control.

2. Components

Fig. ’A’ shows the related components and their connections.


The primary components of the WECS−9520 are as follows:
− The Shipyard Interface Box (SIB) E90 has communication to the external
systems. The SIB also contains an FCM−20 module as an online spare.
− Each cylinder has a control box E95.xx, which contains an FCM−20 module
for engine and cylinder-related control functions.
The system bus connects all modules.
All control boxes (E90, E95.01 to E95.xx) are installed on the rail unit. The power
supply box (E85) is installed near the engine.

3. Engine-related control functions

3.1 General
All engine-related control functions are divided within five FCM−20 modules
(cylinders 1 to 5) for 5 to 7 cylinder engines. The last and last but one FCM−20
modules are for the control functions of the cylinder lubricating system.
For safety, all important input and output signals of the modules have redundancy.
If an FCM−20 module becomes defective, the engine will continue to operate. The
power supply also has redundancy (see Fig. ’B’).
A defective FCM−20 module must only be replaced with the online spare module.
If the online spare is installed, a new FCM−20 module must be installed in the
control box E90. This module will receive an application data download and will
then become the new online spare.

Engine start:
At engine start, the fuel pump actuators are set to the start position.

Engine operation:
The fuel pressure is related to the engine load.
The control loop for the fuel rail pressure is given as follows:
− The WECS−9520 generates a control signal, which is related to the engine
speed and the fuel command.
− The signals from the FCM−20 modules control the three fuel pump actuators.
Each actuator controls the related fuel pump through the toothed rack.
− Two pressure transmitters measure the fuel pressure. This fuel pressure is
feedback to the FCM−20 modules of cylinders 3 and 4.

Shut-down:
At shut-down, the fuel pump actuators are set to position zero and the the safety
system activates the fuel shut-down pilot valve.

Injection valve control function:


All injection valves related to the rail valves of a cylinder are controlled
independently, but with one common feedback signal for the injected fuel quantity.
Usually, all injection valves are activated at the same time. Special operation
modes enable the injection with only one or two injection valves, or with spray
intervals (multi−shot patterns) (see also 0280−1 WECS−9520 Injection control).
To improve the fuel spray at low load, one or two injection valves are cut out
automatically.
The FCM−20 module is used to amplify control outputs up to the necessary signal
strength for the rail valves.

Rail valve ON-time measurement:


The supply of the rail valve is cut off as soon as the valve piston has moved. This is
the measured ON-time and is shown in the remote control.
The measured ON-time gives some data about the rail valve condition.

Initial set-pulse:
Because the rail valves are bistable, their initial position is not specified. Thus, at
engine standstill, set-pulses are sent to the rail valves at intervals to get a specified
position.

Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. 9/ 15 2013


4002−1/A2 Operation

Engine Control System WECS−9520

Injection control:
Fuel injection is controlled as follows:
− Data from the crank angle and VIT are used to calculate the injection start
− The rail valves are activated to release the injection.
− The time difference between the injection start signal and the injection start is
known as the injection deadtime. The injection start is sensed when the fuel
quantity piston moves.
− The stroke of the fuel quantity piston gives the injection quantity. The injection
is stopped when the fuel quantity piston is at the calculated stroke.
− The governor calculates the injection quantity. The injection quantity is related
to the control signal.
− On the subsequent injection cycle, the calculation of the correct injection time
includes the measured injection deadtime.
− The operation of the injection system is monitored at each cycle.

Reversing:
For operation of the the engine in ASTERN, the crank angle is mirrored.

Emergency mode:
If the fuel quantity sensor is defective, the control system changes the fuel
command signal from the related FCM−20 module into a time period. The related
cylinder is then controlled with timed injection.

Rail valve ON-time measurement:


The time between the start signal and the valve piston movement is measured,
then shown in the remote control.
Initial set-pulse:
Because the rail valves are bistable, their initial position is not specified. Thus,
when the engine has stopped, set-pulses are sent to the rail valves at intervals to
get a specified position.
Exhaust valve control:
The exhaust valve movement is controlled as follows:
− The open command of the exhaust valve is calculated in relation to the crank
angle and VEO.
− Operation of the rail valve to the open position.
− Measurement of the open deadtime: Displacement time from 0% to 15% of
the valve stroke.
− The close command of the exhaust valve is calculated in relation to the crank
angle and VEC.
− Operation of the rail valve to the closed position.
− Measurement of the close deadtime: Displacement time from 100% to 15% of
the valve stroke.
− After the crankshaft has completed one full turn, the timing for the subsequent
cycle is compared to the deadtime of the cycle before and corrected.
Reversing:
For operation of the engine in ASTERN, the crank angle is mirrored.
Emergency mode:
If the valve stroke sensor becomes defective, the exhaust valve control continues
with time control for the related cylinder.
4.4 Starting valve control
The FCM−20 module directly opens and closes the starting valve once each full
turn of the crankshaft at a specified crank angle until the engine operates.
Reversing:
For starting the engine in ASTERN, the crank angle is mirrored.
4.5 Crank angle sensor
Two crank angle sensors are installed at the free end. The crankshaft operates
these crank angle sensors through a coupling. The crank angle sensors give an
absolute angle signal (not in increments).
Each of the two signals are transmitted to each cylinder related FCM−20. The
signals are not transmitted to the online spare.
After maintenance on the crank angle sensors or their related drives, the signals
must be compared to the indication on the flywheel. If there is a difference, this
must be adjusted on the remote control.
Crank angle signals:
Each of the two crank angle signals and the TDC signal are compared with each
other.
An alarm, slow-down signal or shut-down signal is shown if the three signals do not
agree within a specified tolerance.

5. Communication between WECS−9520 and external systems

WECS−9520 gives the data communications that follow to the:


− Propulsion control system
− Alarm and monitoring system (AMS)
− Control panel at the local maneuvering stand
− BACKUP control box in the control room.
The standard version of WECS−9520 has the external communications that
follow:
D Two redundant data cables to the remote control
D Two redundant data cables to the AMS
D One data cable to the local control panel
D One data cable to the BACKUP control box in the control room
D One data cable to a connector at the BACKUP control box of the remote
control for connection to a notebook for the service personnel.
For the schematic diagrams, see Fig. ’I’ and Fig. ’A’.
Remark: The communications between the systems can be different and is
related to the approved system manufacturers (see the related documentation).

5.1 Propulsion control system


The propulsion control system is divided into the subsystems that follow:
D The remote control system (RCS)
D The electronic speed control system
D The safety system
D The telegraph system.
Remark: The safety system and telegraph system operate independently and are
fully operational if remote control functions become defective.

5.2 Remote control system


The primary functions are as follows:
D Start, stop, reverse
D Automatic slow turning
D Auxiliary blower control
D Transfer control
D Speed setting
D Automatic speed setting program.

Operation 4002−1/A2

Engine Control System WECS−9520

The operator can adjust the user parameters e.g. maximum fuel limit, running-in
mode and fuel quality setting (FQS).
The operator selects the necessary command on the RCS (e.g. AHEAD or
ASTERN). The RCS sends the commands to operate the engine.
The related FCM−20 sends a load signal to the RCS from the average measured
fuel quantity signals.
Two charge (scavenge) air signals are transmitted to the RCS through the
WECS−9520, thus the signal has redundancy.
If there is a malfunction the WECS−9520 sends an alarm signal to the AMS, or a
slow-down/shut-down signal to the safety system.

Parameter setting:
The parameters are divided into two groups:
− User parameters, access without password
− Expert parameters, access with password only.
The operator can adjust the user parameters e.g. maximum fuel limit, running-in
mode and fuel quality setting (FQS).
Expert parameters are changed only by service personnel, usually during
commissioning. A typical expert parameter is the firing order of the engine, which is
set only once. There is a connector for service access in the engine control room.

5.3 BACKUP control box


The BACKUP control box is part of the propulsion control system and installed in
the ECR console. The same control functions can be carried out as at the local
control panel (see also 4618−1).

5.4 Electronic speed control system


The speed control system is an electronic device that is not part of the
WECS−9520.
The electronic speed control system:
D Keeps the engine speed at the necessary value (from the remote control)
D Transfers the fuel command to the WECS−9520.
The fuel quantity limit is related to the charge (scavenge) air pressure and engine
protection.
The WECS−9520 receives a fuel command signal from the governor.
This signal is transmitted to all the FCM−20 modules. This is the setpoint for the
fuel quantity to be injected.
If the speed control system becomes defective, the engine can operate in:
− LOCAL mode − manual adjustment of the fuel quantity at the local control
panel, or
− ECR BACKUP mode from BACKUP control box in control room.
Attention! In BACKUP mode an engine with a controllable pitch propeller (CPP)
must be operated with the propeller pitch locked to avoid overspeed.

Engine Control

2. Control Functions

The engine control lets you do the functions that follow:


− Engine start, running, reversing, maneuvering and stop
− Engine speed adjustment and control
− Partial safeguarding and monitoring the engine.
You do the function checks before you put the engine into operation (see
paragraph 4 Engine control system checks).
Interlocks give protection against incorrect maneuvering.
The control media pressures are given in the table below.

Control media Pressures


Control air from board system 7 bar to 9 bar (see 1)
Control air from starting air system Maximum 30 bar
Starting air from starting air bottle Maximum 30 bar (see 2)
Main bearing and piston cooling oil 3.6 bar to 5.0 bar
Crosshead bearing oil 10 bar to 12 bar
Servo oil 100 bar to 200 bar

1) The pressure reducing valve 23HA is used to decrease the source pressure
(7 bar to 9 bar) to 6.5 bar.
2) The pressure reducing valve 19HA is used to decrease the source pressure
(30 bar) to 6 bar.

3. Engine local control

The engine can be operated at the local control panel (see also 4618−1).
This mode of operation can be chosen e.g. if there are failures in electronic speed
control system or remote control.
Remark: The operator must not leave the local maneuvering stand. The operator
must regularly monitor the engine speed so that the fuel supply can be immediately
adjusted when necessary.

Prepare as follows:
⇒ At the WECS−9520 manual control panel (see 4618−1), push the button
LOCAL MANUAL CONTROL (Local Control) for mode transfer to local
manual control.

Detailed Control Diagrams with Interfaces to the Plant

How to read the diagrams:


Each diagram has a Path No. range given to the system part. The Path No. range is
divided into 10 sections on the right side of the page. These path numbers give the
connections between related diagrams.
In the example below, the control air pipe that has the number 38 (page 3) goes to
the target path No. 51 (found on page 5).
Where two path numbers that are the same are shown, letter indications are used.
For example, on page 3, there are the numbers 38 and 38A. The number 38 is
Control Air and the number 38A is Air Spring Air.

1. General

The drive of the supply unit 6 is installed at the driving end of the engine. The gear
wheel 1 moves the intermediate wheel 2, which moves the camshaft of the supply
unit. The camshaft turns in the same direction as the crankshaft (see also Supply
Unit 5552−1).
The condition of the tooth profile must have regular checks. New gear wheels must
have frequent checks after a short running-in period (see the Maintenance Manual
4103−1).
If unusual noises are heard from the area of the gear train, the cause must be found
immediately.

Shut-off Valve for Starting Air

1. General
For more data, see the Control Diagram in 4003−2.
The starting air shut-off valve (shut-off valve), see Fig. A stops or releases the
starting air into the engine. You use the handwheel 2 to put the shut-off valve in the
positions that follow:
− CLOSED (closed manually)
− AUTOMAT
− OPENED (opened manually).
When the engine is in stand-by mode or during operation, the lever 1 holds the
shut-off valve in the AUTOMAT position.
To do a test of the shut-off valve, do as follows:
⇒ Operate the valve 2.06 to make sure the valve 11 opens. When the shut-off
valve is ready to open, the valve 11 opens, which you can clearly hear,
however the engine will not start.
Remark: When the engine is not in operation, do the procedure that follows:
⇒ Close the shut-off valves of the starting air bottles 9.01.
⇒ Lift the lever 1, then use the handwheel 2 to close the shut-off valve to the
CLOSED position.
⇒ Open the venting valve 2.21 to release the air in the the shut-off valve and the
air feed pipes.
⇒ Open the venting valve 2.27 to release the air in the the starting air distribution
pipe.
⇒ Engage the turning gear.
After each maneuvering period, open the venting valve 2.27 in the starting air
distributor pipe to drain the condensate water (see also the Starting Air Diagram
8018−1).

2. Function

Ready to start:
Starting air flows through the air inlet pipe ’AP’ into the air inlet chamber ’AI’, then
through the balance bore ’BB’ into the space ’VS’. The spring 10 and the pressure
in the space ’VS’ keep the valve 11 closed.
Start:
The related FCM−20 module operates the common start valve 6 or 8 (see also
4002−1, paragraph 3 Engine-related control functions).
The control air ’CA’ opens the control valve 3 through the common start valve 8 and
releases the pressure in the space ’VS’. The valve 11 opens and starting air from
the air inlet chamber ’AI’ flows through the valve body 12 into the starting air supply
pipe ’SA’.
End of start:
When the control valve 3 closes, starting air flows through the balance bores ’BB’
and fills the the space ’VS’ again. The valve 11 closes.
Function check:
When the control valve operates on the ready to start engine, the pressure in the
space ’VS’ is released. You can hear the valve 11 as it opens.

Control Air Supply

1. General

The compressed air necessary for the air spring air (exhaust valves), the turning
gear interlock and the fuel shut-down pilot valve 3.08 comes from the control air
board supply. The air must be clean and dry to prevent blockages in the control
units.
If the control air board supply system becomes defective, a decreased quantity of
compressed air will come from the starting air system.
The shut-off valves, pressure reducing valve, filters etc. that are necessary to
supply air to the different units are shown in the control air supply unit A and Fig.
’C’.
The numeric titles used to identify the parts of the equipment in the illustrations are

Local Control Panel

1. General

The local control panel is attached to the engine at the free end and has the
components necessary for engine operation (see Fig. ’A’). Because the remote
control manufacturer supplies the local control panel, some components can look
different from those shown in Fig ’B’.
Some instructions for manoeuvring from the local control panel are given on the
nameplate for LOCAL MANUAL CONTROL (for more data, see 4003−1 ’Engine
local control’ and Maneuvering 0260−1).
The WECS−9520 supplies electrical power to the manual control panels, which
operate independently from the remote control system. The data shown on the
manual control panels is always the same.
There are two manual control panels. One manual control panel is installed in the
local control panel 1 (see Fig. ’A’). The other manual control panel is installed in a
console in the engine control room (ECR).
Remark: You can only use the function buttons on the manual control panel that
has control.

2. Installed components

The local control panel has the components that follow:


− Rotary knob
− ME tachometer
− Emergency stop button
− Telegraph
− WECS−9520 manual control panel (for data, see paragraph 2.2).

Rotary knob:
You use the rotary knob to adjust the speed / fuel settings.

ME tachometer:
The ME tachometer shows the engine speed in the ahead or astern directions.

Emergency stop button:


When you operate the emergency stop button, the engine stops immediately. The
fuel shutdown pilot valve 3.08 releases the pressure in the fuel rail. At the same
time, the fuel pump supply decreases to 0 (zero).

Telegraph:
The telegraph system is part of the propulsion control system.
2.1 Remote control
The remote control has the components that follow:
− Rotary knob for speed setting or fuel injection quantity adjustments
− Emergency stop

Operation 5551−1/A1
Servo Oil Pump

1. General

Two servo oil pumps 2 are built in to the supply unit 1 (see Supply Unit 5552−1).
The pumps supply high pressure (HP) servo oil, which operates the exhaust
valves, injection control unit and the injection valves. Bearing oil flows from the
main bearing oil supply through the automatic filter 7 to the servo oil pumps.

2. Function

During usual operation, the full servo oil load is equally supplied to both pumps.
The electrically operated pressure control system (the nominal pressure value is
related to the engine load) adjusts the servo oil pressure for the whole load range,
i.e. high pressure (approximately 200 bar) at high engine load, and decreased
pressure at low engine load.
Shearable overload protection ’OP’ on the shaft 6 prevents full damage to the gear
wheel 4 if a pump seizes (see Fig. ’B’).
If a servo oil pump becomes defective, it is possible to operate the engine over the
full load range.
The flow sensors 9 monitor the oil supply in each of the inlet pipes to the servo oil
pumps 2. A possible failure of a servo oil pump 2 shows in the alarm and monitoring
system.
Attention! Do not operate the engine for a long period if one of the servo oil pumps
becomes defective. If the other servo oil pump fails, the engine cannot operate.
Replace a defective servo oil pump as soon as possible (see the Maintenance
Manual 5552−1).

Fuel Pump

1. General

Three fuel pumps 1 are installed on the supply unit (see Fig. ’A’). The fuel pumps
supply high pressure fuel through the HP fuel pipes to the fuel rail.
The fuel pumps are controlled to supply as much fuel to keep the necessary
pressure (which is load related) in the fuel rail.

DRIVING END
WCH01086

2. Function

The compression spring 11 keeps the lower carrier 13 against the guide piston 12,
which in turn keeps the roller 14 against the cam 16. When the cam 16 moves the
roller 14 up, the guide piston 12 moves up and the lower spring carrier 13
compresses the compression spring 11. The pump plunger 18 then moves up. The
control grooves ’CG’ in the pump plunger 18 control the fuel quantity.
When the toothed rack 9 moves, the regulating sleeve turns. The regulating sleeve
8 turns the driver 19 and thus the pump plunger 18.
When the pump plunger passes BDC, fuel flows through the two inlet bores ’IB’
and the two control grooves ’CG’ into the plunger chamber ’PC’ (see Fig. ’C’). The
quantity of fuel that enters the plunger chamber ’PC’ is related to the regulating
position (between 0 for zero supply and 10 for maximum supply).
Remark: No fuel is supplied when the inlet bores ’IB’ overlap the control grooves
’CG’ in position 0.
The toothed rack is connected to the fuel pump actuator (see 5801−1 Regulating
Linkage).

Some of the lube oil lubricates the guide piston 12, the roller pin 15 and roller 14
through spot faces, annular groove and bores in the guide piston. Lube oil that
flows down lubricates the running surface of the cam.
Engine lube oil also flows through the oil bores ’OB’, in the upper housing 4 and the
pump cylinder 17, to lubricate the regulating sleeve 8.
Leakage fuel lubricates the pump plunger 18. The leakage fuel, and the lube oil
from the regulating sleeve 8, flows through the drain bores ’DB’, into an internal
bore in the supply unit housing.

Cutting Out and Cutting In of the Fuel Pump

1. General

If a fuel pump is unserviceable (e.g. the pump plunger is seized) or the HP fuel pipe
is broken (between the fuel pump and the fuel rail) the fault must be repaired
immediately.
If the fault cannot be repaired, because the engine must be put back into service, it
is possible to cut out the unserviceable fuel pump.
Cutting out and cutting in of unserviceable fuel pumps must only be done
when the engine has stopped.
Remark: With one fuel pump cut out the engine can only be operated at decreased
load:
D 5 and 6 cylinder engines − approximately 40% output
D 7 cylinder engine − approximately 70% output.

Operation 5562−1/A1
Fuel Pressure Control Valve 3.06

1. General

1.1 Usual operation


Attention! In usual operation, make sure that the knurled screw 8 is turned
fully clockwise (down).
WECS−9520 regulates the fuel pressure, which stays below the opening pressure
of the fuel pressure control valve 1. The fuel pressure control valve is usually
closed (see also 4002−1 ’Fuel pressure control’).
The fuel pressure control valve is a pressure relief valve and opens if the fuel
pressure is more than approximately 1050 bar. The adjusting disc 7 and the
knurled screw 8 set the correct opening pressure.

1.2 Emergency stop


The safety system activates the fuel shut-down pilot valve 6, which decreases the
fuel pressure to less than 200 bar (in most conditions to 0 (zero) bar). Therefore an
injection is not possible.
Remark: The fuel shut-down pilot valve is one of three devices to shut down the
engine. The other devices are:
− Immediate injection stop (WECS−9520)
− Fuel pump delivery to 0 (zero).

1.3 Emergency operation


Attention! For emergency operation, make sure that the knurled screw 8 is
turned fully counterclockwise (up).
If there is a failure in the fuel pressure regulating system, the fuel pressure control
valve will control the fuel pressure regulating function when:
− There are missing or incorrect control signals
− The fuel pump actuator(s) is/are out of service
− A toothed rack is blocked.
The toothed rack(s) of the fuel pump(s) are locked in the middle position. This can
be applied to one fuel pump, or all fuel pumps that relate to the failure (see 0515−1
’Defective actuator’).
If the fuel pressure is more than the opening pressure, the fuel pressure control
valve will open, which gradually drains sufficient fuel to keep the adjusted
maximum pressure. If this occurs, a longer operating period must be prevented.
The knurled screw must be turned fully counterclockwise (up) against the stop,
which decreases the opening pressure to approximately 600 bar. This makes sure
of safe operation over the whole load range.
Remark: When the fuel pressure control valve opens, a loud whistling noise
indicates when fuel drains.

Fuel Pressure Control Valve 3.06

2. Function

2.1 Control function


Oil pressure on the piston 11 pushes the valve tip 12 down on to the valve seat 13.
The fuel pressure also operates against the oil pressure control valve 17. When
the fuel pressure increases, the oil pressure decreases. If the oil pressure
decreases below a specified threshold value, the valve tip 12 moves up from the
valve seat 13 and fuel is drained.
The compression springs 14, 15 and the knurled screw 8 give the control
conditions of the oil pressure regulating valve 17.

2.2 Function check


During operation, carefully turn the knurled screw 8 counterclockwise until the oil
pressure control valve 17 starts to open. When the oil pressure control valve
functions correctly, fuel pressure is released.

2.3 Emergency stop function


If the fuel shut-down pilot valve 6 is energized, the oil pressure above the piston 11
is released. The valve tip 12 moves away from the valve seat and fuel is drained.

Operation 5801−1/A1
Regulating Linkage

1. General

Each fuel pump 1 has an electrically-operated actuator 2. The regulating linkage


connects the actuator 2 to the fuel pump 1. The lever 3 moves the connecting
element 4, which moves the toothed rack 5 to the necessary position to control the
fuel flow through the fuel pump 1.

2. Function

The WECS−9520 system controls each actuator to control the fuel quantity and
keep the necessary operating pressure in the fuel rail.
During normal operation, the actuators move at the same time i.e. the control
positions and the fuel quantity that flows through the fuel pumps are the same.
If a pump plunger does not move, which blocks the toothed rack, electrical power
to the related actuator must not be disconnected (overload protection).

5 to 7 cylinder engines:
If an actuator fails, its actuator lever 3 stays in position or turns slowly to the zero
supply position. The other actuators get control of the fuel quantity supply (see also
0515−1 ’Defective actuator’).

Remark: In the lower load range (at lower fuel consumption) fuel pressure control
valve 3.06 takes over the fuel pressure regulating function. This is because the
actuator(s) cannot continue to decrease the fuel quantity supply (see also
5562−1’Fuel pressure control valve 3.06’).

Scavenge Air Receiver

1. General

The scavenge air receiver 1 is a welded assembly and attached to the cylinder
block on the exhaust side. The scavenge air receiver has the parts that follow:
− Receiver
− Turbocharger support
− Air duct
− Scavenge air cooler casing.
The longitudinal wall 12 divides the receiver into the two spaces ’AS’ and ’RS’. The
air flaps 2 are attached to the longitudinal wall (see Fig. ’A’ and Fig ’B’).

2. Function

During operation, the turbocharger blows scavenge air through the scavenge air
cooler (SAC) into the charging unit, through the water separator and then into the
air space ’AS’. The air then flows through the air flaps 2 into the receiver space ’RS’
and through openings in the cylinder block to the piston underside ’PU’. The
scavenge air flows through the scavenge ports when the piston is near BDC. The
air flaps 2 prevent back-flow into the air space ’AS’.
Two auxiliary blowers 7 are attached to the scavenge air receiver. During engine
start or at low engine load, the auxiliary blowers come on and move scavenge air
from the space ’AS’ through the suction box 11 to the receiver space ’RS’. The air
flaps 3 installed in the suction box 11 prevent the back-flow of air when the auxiliary
blowers are set to off.
A relief valve 10 is installed behind the hinged cover 17 on the driving end of the
scavenge air receiver. The relief valve opens when the air pressure increases to
more than the permitted value in the receiver space ’RS’.
Remark: Different types of relief valve 10 can be installed. The relief valve can
have cup springs 18 or a compression spring 19.
Attention! Do not go into the the receiver spaces ’RS’ during engine operation.
Access into the receiver space ’RS’ is possible only when the engine has stopped.
To get access to the receiver spaces ’RS’, you open the hinged covers 6.
The hinged covers 5 can be removed to examine the air flaps 3.
Remark: If the turbocharger becomes defective, the hinged covers 5 and the
hinged cover 4 installed in the air duct must be opened for emergency operation.
Also, if an auxiliary blower fails, do not open the cover 5 on the defective blower
side (see Turbocharger out of Service 0590−1).

Turbocharging

1. General

The turbocharger is accurately tuned to the engine and related to the number of
cylinders, service output, mode of operation etc. The number of turbochargers is
related to the number of cylinders on the engine.
Data about operation, maintenance and servicing are given in the related
documentation of the manufacturer (which is part of the Operating Instruction).
CAUTION! Damage Hazard: If you operate the engine with a turbocharger
cut out, you must obey the operation limits given in the Service Bulletin
RT-162 to prevent damage to the engine.
For data about the operation limits of operation with a turbocharger cut out, see
Service Bulletin RT-162.

2. Function

Exhaust gas ’EG’ from the cylinders collects in the manifold 10. The exhaust gas
moves the turbine 12, then flows out through the exhaust gas outlet ’EO’ to the
exhaust system of the vessel. The exhaust gas turns the turbine and moves the
compressor 11, which is attached to the same shaft. The compressor pulls fresh air
’FA’ from the engine room through a filter/silencer.
The compressor compresses and heats the scavenge air ’FA’. This hot
compressed air flows into the charging unit 17 through the air cooler 16, which
cools the air to a lower temperature range. Because of the high humidity in the air,
the scavenge air cooler produces a large quantity of condensation. The water
separator 15 removes the condensation, which flows through the drains ’WD’ and
’CD’.
The scavenge air flows from the air space ’AS’ through the air flaps 13 to the
receiver space ’RS’ and then into the piston underside ’PU’.
When the piston 6 is near BDC, charge air flows through the open inlet ports 5 into
the cylinder 3.
After the compression, combustion, and expansion process, the exhaust valve 1
opens and exhaust gas ’EG’ flows into the manifold 10, which completes the cycle.
During engine start, or low load operation the auxiliary blowers 7 supply air from
the air space ’AS’ to the receiver space ’RS’. A non-return valve prevents the
back-flow of air (see also Scavenge Air Receiver 6420−1).

1. General

The turbochargers have a system to clean the turbine and the compressor. It is
possible to clean the turbine and the compressor while the turbocharger operates.
Regular procedures to clean the turbine and the compressor prevent or decrease
contamination and increase the time between overhauls. If the quantity of dirt
becomes too much (scavenge air pressure decreases and exhaust gas
temperature increases), the turbocharger must be disassembled and cleaned in
accordance with the instructions given in the turbocharger manual (see Operating
Data Sheet 0250−1 for the permitted pressure decrease).
Regular visual checks and procedures to clean the silencer are necessary to keep
it in a serviceable condition. Clean the silencer and filter only when the engine is
stopped and in accordance with the instructions given in the turbocharger manual.
Remark: One more filter mat installed on top of the silencer will keep the
contamination on the air side to a minimum, but will cause a loss of pressure.
If there is an increase in pressure difference np (of 50% compared to the shop test
value at the same engine load) or the filter mat is dirty (there is a difference in the
color of the filter mat), clean the filter mat. See the instructions given in the
turbocharger manual.
Use the methods that follow to regularly clean the compressor and turbine:
− Wash the compressor (wet clean)
− Wash the turbine (wet clean at decreased engine load)
− Dry clean the turbine (at full service load)

2. Wash the compressor (see Fig. ’A’)

Intervals:
Wash the compressor at intervals of 24 operation hours.

Engine condition:
Wash the compressor when the engine is at the usual operation temperature and
the load is as high as possible (full service load), i.e. at high turbocharger speed.

Cleaning the Turbocharger in Operation Turbocharger TPL Type

3. Wash the turbine (see Fig. ’B’ to ’E’)

Intervals:
Wash the turbine at intervals of between 50 to 500 operation hours
The interval is related to environmental effects on the intake air and the quantity of
contamination in the turbocharger.
It is recommended that you clean the turbine regularly. At first every 100 running
hours (e.g. one time each week). Adapt the intervals to the quantity of
contamination found during turbocharger overhaul.

Conditions:
The engine power output must be decreased so that the exhaust gas temperature
upstream of the turbine is within the limits given below:

Limits:
⇒ Make sure that the limits are as follows:
− The temperature upstream of the turbine must be less than 430_C.
− The scavenge air pressure must be between 0.3 bar and 0.6 bar before you
clean the turbine.
− The water pressure must be 1 bar downstream of the ball cock 5 (Fig. ’C’)
during water injection.
Remark: We recommend that the turbine is washed at a scavenge air pressure of
0.4 bar (auxiliary blower in operation).
D Only use clean fresh water to clean the turbine. Do not use detergents or
solvents.
D The water pressure must be a minimum of 2 bar.
D If a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) installation is installed, stop the
ammonia or urea injection before you clean the turbine.
D After you have cleaned the turbine, only start the injection when the exhaust
temperature upstream of the turbine is more than 430_C.

Cleaning the Turbocharger in Operation Turbocharger TPL Type

4. Dry-clean procedure

Dry solid particles (granules) are used for the dry-clean procedure. The quantity of
granules used is related to the turbocharger size. During the dry clean procedure,
compressed air blows the granules into the exhaust pipe upstream of the
turbocharger.
The granules have a mechanical effect that removes dirt particles on the nozzle
ring and turbine blades. It is not possible to remove thick dirt particles with the small
quantity of granules necessary for each dry-clean procedure. Thus, frequent use
of this method is necessary.
The hot exhaust temperature burns the granules. The exhaust flow removes the
burnt granules and the dirt particles from the turbocharger.
This method is satisfactory at exhaust gas temperatures of more than 500_C
upstream of the turbocharger.

4.1 Dry-clean the turbine (see Fig. ’F’ to ’G’)

Intervals:
Dry-clean the turbine at intervals of between 24 to 48 operation hours.
The intervals are related to environmental effects on the intake air and the quantity
of contamination of the turbocharger.

Conditions:
Do the procedure when the engine is at the usual operation temperature and the
load is as high as possible (full service load), i.e. at high turbocharger speed.

Limits:
The scavenge air pressure must be more than 0.5 bar.
The specified quantity of granules for the related turbocharger type is shown in the
table that follows:

1. General

The turbochargers have a system to clean the compressor and turbine. It is


possible to clean the compressor and the turbine while the turbocharger operates.
Regular procedures to clean the turbine and the compressor prevent or decrease
contamination and increase the time between overhauls. If the quantity of
contamination becomes too much, (i.e. the scavenge air pressure decreases and
exhaust gas temperatures increase), the turbocharger must be disassembled and
cleaned in accordance with the instructions given in the turbocharger manual (see
the Operating Data Sheet 0250−1 for the permitted pressure decrease).
Regular visual checks and procedures to clean the silencer are necessary to keep
it in a serviceable condition. Clean the silencer and filter only when the engine is
stopped and in accordance with the instructions given in the turbocharger manual.
Remark: One more filter mats installed on top of the silencer will keep the
contamination on the air side to a minimum, but will cause a loss of pressure.
If there is an increase of the pressure difference (np) to maximum 10 mbar, or the
filter mat is dirty (there is a difference in the color of the filter mat), clean the filter
mat. See the instructions given in the turbocharger manual.
Use the methods that follow to regularly clean the turbocharger:
− Wash the compressor (wet clean)
− Dry-clean the turbine (at full service load).

2. Wash the compressor (see Fig. ’A’)

Intervals:
Wash the compressor at intervals of approximately 100 operating hours.
The interval is related to the environmental effects on the intake air and the
quantity of contamination in the turbocharger.

Engine condition:
The procedure to clean the turbocharger must be done at decreased engine power
(less than 50% load), i.e. at lower turbocharger speed as shown in the table that
follows:

Turbocharger Water quantity Time


Type Speed [rpm] [I] [Sec.]
MET 53MB Approx. 7000 to 9500 2.0 Approx. 40 to 80

3. Dry-clean procedure

Dry solid particles (granules) are used for the dry-clean procedure. The quantity of
granules used is related to the turbocharger size. During the procedure,
compressed air blows the granules into the exhaust pipe upstream of the
turbocharger.
The granules have a mechanical effect that removes dirt particles on the nozzle
ring and turbine blades. It is not possible to remove thick dirt particles with the small
quantity of granules necessary for each dry-clean procedure. Thus, frequent use
of this method is necessary.
This method is satisfactory at exhaust gas temperatures of more than 500_C
upstream of the turbocharger.
The hot exhaust temperature burns the granules. The burned granules and
contamination are removed from the turbocharger.

3.1 Dry-clean the turbine (see Fig. ’B’ and Fig. ’C’)

Intervals:
Dry-clean the turbine at intervals of 100 operation hours.
The intervals are related to environmental effects on the intake air and the quantity
of contamination in the turbocharger.
Regular dry cleaning in service is is recommended initially every 100 running
hours (e.g. one time each week). Adapt the cleaning intervals to the quantity of
contamination found during turbocharger overhaul.

Conditions:
Do the procedure when the engine is at the usual operation temperature and the
load is as high as possible (full service load), i.e. at high turbocharger speed.

Limits:
The scavenge air pressure must be more than 0.5 bar.
The maximum turbocharger speed and specified quantity of granules for the
related turbocharger type is shown in the table that follows:

Operation 6606−1/A1
Scavenge Air Cooler
Operating Instructions and Cleaning

1. General

A Scavenge Air Cooler (SAC) is installed downstream of the turbocharger. The


SAC decreases the temperature of the compressed / heated air that flows from the
turbocharger. The standard cooler is a single-stage multi-pass cooler. The water
flows through the cooler in the opposite direction of the air flow more than one time.
The cool water enters the cooler at ’CI’, flows through in different directions and
leaves at ’CO’ (see Fig. ’A’). The temperature difference of the water and scavenge
air is thus applied equally along all of the SAC.

2. Operating instructions

If air collects in the cooling water system of the SAC, problems for the engine and
the SAC can occur. Thus, the SAC must operate correctly.
You must do regular checks of the SAC temperature. See the data in 0250−2
Operating Data Sheet.
If the level switch 19 of the float / solenoid switch unit 17 activates an alarm during
operation, the cause (condensate water or SAC cooling water) must be found. If
the cause is SAC cooling water, the SAC must be disassembled and repaired (see
the Maintenance Manual 6606−2).
To prevent damage to the SAC, the cooling water must flow correctly during
operation. The cooling water flow must not be decreased at partial load, or during
maneuvering.
Remark: Do not use the butterfly valves at the cooling water inlet and outlet pipes
to control the flow rate. The water separators (which are plastic) could be damaged
because the scavenge air temperatures are too high at higher loads.
For data about operation with a defective SAC, see 0550−1 paragraph 1.
When the SAC operates correctly, record the temperature difference between the
scavenge air outlet and the cooling water inlet. Use the temperature difference as
a guide. You must do regular checks of the two temperature values and compare
them with the temperatures you recorded.
If the temperature difference increases and the engine load and cooling water flow
do not change, the SAC is dirty.
If the water side of the SAC is dirty, the scavenge air temperature increases.
If the air side of the SAC is dirty, the pressure difference (np) of the scavenge air
through the SAC increases. This does not show the full effect of the dirt because an
increased resistance also causes a decreased air flow from the turbocharger. For
more data about the SAC during operation, see 0250−1 Operating Data Sheet.
Higher scavenge air temperature and decreased air flow cause increased thermal
load of the engine and higher exhaust gas temperatures.

Operating Instructions and Cleaning

3. SAC air side − clean during operation

The equipment necessary to clean the air side of the SAC is installed on the
engine.

3.1 Intervals
Initially, we recommend that you clean the SAC weekly. If there is no change in the
pressure difference (np) through the SAC, the interval can be increased (e.g.
monthly).
The pressure difference must not be more than the maximum limit (np increase of
50% compared to the shop test value at the same engine load). For more data, see
the Maintenance Manual 0380−1).
The quantity of contamination in the SAC is related to the condition of the air intake
and the maintenance of the air suction filter on the turbocharger.
Remark: We recommend that you do not clean the SAC in tropical conditions
because of increased condensation.

3.2 Procedure
Clean the SAC while the engine operates at partial load, i.e. below 50% load (see
also the instruction panel on the engine). The air temperature downstream of the
compressor (turbocharger) must not be more than 100°C. This is because heat will
change too much of the cleaning agent to a gas.

1. General

The cylinder lubrication system operates independently to lubricate the cylinder


liners, pistons and exhaust valve spindles. The Wärtsilä Engine Control System
(WECS-9520) monitors and controls the adjustable load related feed rate of
lubricating oil to each lubrication point.

1.1 Cylinder lubricating oil


During usual operating conditions, a high-additive, alkaline cylinder lubricating oil
is necessary.
Remark: Select the alkalinity of the lubricating oil in relation to the sulphur content
of the fuel. For more data, see 0750−1, paragraph 3.

1.2 Cylinder lubricating oil for running-in


Remark: We recommend that you use the approved, usual cylinder lubricating oil
for running-in (see 0410−1, paragraph 3 ).

2. Description

The schematic diagram Fig. ’A’ shows the cylinder lubricating system, which has
the components that follow:
− Lube oil tank for cylinder lubricating oil (plant side),
− Duplex filter 8.17 (one for each engine),
− Cylinder lubricating pumps 8.06 (one for each cylinder) with control unit
ALM-20, 4/2-way solenoid valve and pressure transmitter,
− Lubricating quills 8.09 (six for each cylinder) with non-return valves,
− Pressure reducing valve 8.11 (one for each engine),
− System control from the WECS-9520. For more data, see 4002−1,
paragraph 3.4.

Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. 1/ 15 Pulse / 2013


7218−1/A2 Operation

Cylinder Lubrication

019.031/09

2.1 Lube oil tank


The lube oil tank for the cylinder lubricating oil is installed at a specified height
above the engine. This lets static pressure move the oil down. The cylinder
lubricating oil flows through the supply pipe to the duplex filter 8.17 and to the
cylinder lubricating pumps 8.06.

2.2 Location of the cylinder lubricating pumps


Each cylinder has a cylinder lubricating pump 1 installed on a support on the
cylinder block 10 on the fuel side of the engine (see Fig. ’B’). Servo oil, from the
servo oil rail at free end, operates the cylinder lubricating pumps (see 8016−1,
paragraph 4). The related control signal is released from the WECS−9520.
The cylinder lubricating pumps are hydraulically operated. All pumps are
connected to the servo oil connecting pipe 7. The pressure reducing valve 2
decreases the servo oil pressure to 60 bar.
For safety, all high-pressure servo oil pipes have double walls. The pressure
transmitters 3 and 4 monitor the servo oil pipes. If the pressure decreases, there is
a leak. The pressure transmitters transmit a signal with a failure message to the
alarm and monitoring system (see 0850−1 paragraph 4.7). To do a check of the
servo oil pipes, loosen the screw plug 8 (maximum two turns). If servo oil comes
out, the servo oil pipes are damaged (see Fig. ’E’).

3. Duplex filter and measurement tube

The duplex filter 1 and the measurement tube 4 are installed between the lube oil
tank and the cylinder lubricating pumps. The differential-pressure sensor 6
monitors the quantity of dirt in the duplex filter. If the filter is clogged, the
differential-pressure sensor transmit a signal with a failure message to the alarm
and monitoring system.
⇒ Make sure that the ball valve 10 is opened during operation.
⇒ If necessary, replace the clogged filter element (see paragraph 3.2).

3.1 Vent the duplex filter


It is necessary to vent the duplex filter:
− at the first operation,
− after you replaced a filter element.

3.3 Oil consumption measurement


The integrated magnetic level indicator and scale 7 are used to measure the
lubricating oil consumption (see Fig. ’C’).
The specified, theoretic feed rate is set in the WECS−9520. To change the
parameters use the operator interface (see 4002−3, paragraph 1.1).
Remark: Make sure that the lubricating oil level is always above the mark ’1’. If not,
air can go into the system and cause a malfunction.
To check the parameters and make sure that the lubricating oil system operates
correctly, measure the oil consumption at the measurement tube 4.
Do the steps that follow:
⇒ Close the ball valve 5.
⇒ Open the venting cock 8.
⇒ When you can see the oil level on the scale 7, mark the oil level and start the
time measurement.
⇒ After the specified time (15 to 20 minutes) mark the oil level on the scale again.
⇒ Open the ball valve 5.
⇒ Keep the venting cock 8 open until oil that flows has no air.
⇒ Close the venting cock 8.
⇒ Measure the distance between the two marks on the scale 7.
⇒ Calculate the oil consumption during the measurement with this conversion
factor: 1 cm = 0.14 l.
Remark: The conversion factor is related to the size of the measurement tube. For
more data, see the labelling on the measurement tube.
To calculate the specific cylinder lubricating oil consumption (g/kWh), see 7218−2,
paragraph 2.1.

Cylinder Lubrication

4. Cylinder lubricating pump

4.1 General
The cylinder lubricating pumps are attached to the cylinder block (see Fig. ’D’). The
components of the cylinder lubricating pump can be replaced easily, because of
interchangeable modules.
The cylinder lubricating pumps have the parts that follow (see Fig. ’D’):
− Pump body 1
− Baseplate 2
− 4/2-way solenoid valve 3
− Accumulator 4.
An ALM-20 module is installed to each cylinder lubricating pump (see
paragraph 5).
Remark: If a cylinder lubricating pump is damaged, the WECS−9520 transmits a
signal to decrease the speed of the engine (slowdown). Stop the fuel injection of
the related cylinder (see 0510−1, paragraph 1).
Baseplate:
The baseplate 2 contains the main components of the cylinder lubricating pump
and the routing of the servo oil pipes.
The shut-off valve 6 (servo oil inlet) is installed in the baseplate.
Remark: Make sure that the shut-off valve 6 is fully open during usual operation.
If necessary, close the shut-off valve to replace the 4/2-way solenoid valve 3 (see
Fig. ’D’ and documentation of the cylinder lubricating pump supplier).
Pump body:
The function of the pump body 1 is to increase the oil pressure and to supply the
servo oil.
To vent the cylinder lubricating pump, the venting screws 9 and 10 are installed in
the pump body (see paragraph 4.3).
4/2-way solenoid valve:
The 4/2-way solenoid valve 3 is electronically controlled. The valve opens the
related oil bore in the pump body to operate the central piston.
Accumulator:
The function of the accumulator 4 is to obtain a good performance of the lubricating
module and the lubricating system in general. The accumulator makes sure that
the servo oil pressure stays almost constant and unwanted high pressure
(pressure fluctuation) is decreased.
To check the gas pre-charge pressure see 7218−1 in the Maintenance Manual.

ALM-20 module (control unit):


The WECS−9520 monitors the correct operation of each cylinder lubricating pump
with an ALM-20 module. The ALM-20 modules activate the 4/2-way solenoid
valves and sense the servo oil pressure.
LEDs show the status of the cylinder lubricating pump and the control system (see
paragraph 5).
Remark: It is possible to replace an ALM-20 module during operation or when the
engine has stopped (see 4002−4, paragraph 4 and 9362−1, paragraph 2).

4.2 Function
The WECS−9520 operates the 4/2-way solenoid valve 3 and servo oil flows
through the valve to the bottom of the central piston. The pressure of the servo oil
pushes the central piston to the top end position. The servo oil from the top of the
central piston flows through the 4/2-way solenoid valve into the servo oil return
pipe. The supply piston opens the lubricating oil inlet and the metering ducts are
filled with lubricating oil.

2013 / Pulse 6/ 15 Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd.


Operation 7218−1/A2

Cylinder Lubrication

When the WECS−9520 sends a signal to the ALM-20 module, the 4/2-way
solenoid valve operates. Servo oil flows to the top of the central piston. The servo
oil from the bottom flows through the 4/2-way solenoid valve into the servo oil
return pipe. The central piston moves down to the bottom end position. The
lubricating oil flows at high pressure through the non-return valve into the
lubricating oil outlet ports. The lubricating quills inject the lubricating oil into the
cylinder liner.
The maximum stroke of the central piston is adjustable with a set-screw. Thus, the
movement and the feed rate is equal for all supply pistons.

4.3 Vent the cylinder lubricating pump


Remark: Make sure that the cylinder lubricating system is prepared for operation
(see 0140−1).
To vent the cylinder lubricating pump, open the venting screw 9 (servo oil) in
baseplate 2 and the venting screw 10 (lubricating oil) in pump body 1 (see Fig. ’E’).
It is necessary to vent the cylinder lubricating pump:
− at first operation
− after a long shutdown period
− after maintenance works
− if there is a problem during operation (e.g. operating pressure, feed rate).

Lubricating oil:

⇒ Put an oil tray below the cylinder lubricating pump.


⇒ Carefully loosen the venting screw 10 (maximum three turns).
⇒ Keep the venting screw 10 open until oil that flows has no air.
⇒ Close the venting screw 10.
⇒ Remove the oil tray.

Servo oil:
Attention! The servo oil system operates at high pressure. When you loosen the
venting screws, oil can come out as a spray. Always wear safety goggles and
gloves!
⇒ Put an oil tray below the cylinder lubricating pump.
⇒ On the operator interface, select the related cylinder number in the menu
MANUAL LUBRICATION ON CYL. As an alternative, set the switch to
MANUAL EMERGENCY on the related 4/2-way solenoid valve 3 (see
Fig. ’E’).
⇒ Loosen the venting screw 9 (maximum three turns).
⇒ Keep the venting screw 9 open until oil that flows has no air.
⇒ Close the venting screw 9.
⇒ Remove the oil tray.

7. Lubrication of exhaust valve spindle

The cylinder lubricating pump 1 supplies lubricating oil through the lubricating oil
pipe to the exhaust valve 4 (see Fig. ’I’). At each lube pulse, some lubricating oil
flows through the non-return valve 5, orifice 6 and stop valve 7 into the exhaust
valve (see Fig. ’H’).
Service experience show that the additional lubrication of the exhaust valve
spindle is only necessary during the initial hours of engine operation or after an
exhaust valve overhaul (see also 2751−1). During usual operating condition the
valve 7 is closed.
Remark: We recommend that you close the stop valve:
− after the sea trial (approximately 100 operating hours).
− approximately 24 operation hours after an overhaul of the exhaust valve.

cylinder. The CAN Bus transmits the signals. To prevent faults one more CAN Bus
is installed and gives redundancy. Each ALM-20 module has a pressure
transmitter to monitor the metering pressure. The necessary power for the ALM-20
modules is supplied through the power supply box E85 and the control box E90.
The FCM-20 modules get the necessary information from the last and next to last
cylinder. The SSI Bus transmits the signals from the crank angle sensors. To
prevent faults one more SSI Bus is installed and gives redundancy (see 4002−1).
The 4/2-way solenoid valves operate the cylinder lubricating pump (ZV3132C).

Instructions Concerning Measurement of Cylinder Lubricating Oil Consumption

1. Calculate the cylinder lubricating oil consumption

You can measure the cylinder lubricating oil consumption at all engine power
outputs.
The engine has a load-related cylinder lubricating system. To get a correct result,
make sure that the engine speed and power are kept as constant as possible.
The cylinder lubricating system has a measurement tube, which has a scale that
gives accurate measurement of the lubricating oil consumption in a short time.
For data about the measurement procedure see 7218−1 paragraph 3.3.

Calculate the specified cylinder lubricating oil consumption, for a) + b):


To calculate the specific cylinder lubricating oil consumption, you must know the
power output during the test. Get the engine output:
a) From the curve fuel injection quantity (%) x engine speed (FQ x rpm)
Make sure that the curve refers to the used fuel (see the acceptance protocol).
b) From the field Est. Power [%] shown in the operator interface.

Specified cylinder lubricating oil consumption = 1000 x G g/kWh (g/BHPh)


P
G = Cylinder lubricating oil consumption [kg/h]
P = Engine power output in kW (BHP) given from the curve FQ x rpm
or nominal power x estimated power [%]

2. Calculate the theoretical cylinder lubricating oil consumption

The specified theoretical feed rate is set in the WECS-9520. To change the
parameters, use the Operator Interface (see 4002-3, paragraph 1.1).
Use the formula below to calculate the cylinder lubricating oil consumption (kg/h):

G = 3600 x V x ò x Z
t

V = Supply volume of the lubricating oil pump for each injection pulse [ml]
ò = Oil density [kg/l]
Z = Number of injection pulses

3. Recommended cylinder lubricating oil feed rate

We recommend to decrease the cylinder lubricating oil feed rate gradually, after
running-in the engine (see 0410−1).
The set value refers to the nominal output at nominal speed. Because of the
load-related lubricating system, this value stays almost constant.
Adjust the feed rate to service experiences (e.g. running surfaces of pistons, piston
rings and cylinder liners).
When data is given to us about the consumption of cylinder lubricating oil, it must
always be related to liter or kg / hour or each period of 24 hours, and shows at the
same time (as far as known):
The data must include:
− Engine type and number of cylinders
− Engine speed
− Fuel injection quantity
− Set lubricating oil volume
− Number of pulses during measurement
− Engine power output during measurement
− Supply volume of the lubricating pump
− Lubricating oil specifications
− Fuel oil specifications
− Fuel oil consumption in metric tons each period of 24 hours.

1. General

To set the correct cylinder lubricating oil feed rate, it is very important to monitor the
piston running performance of the engine. The procedures that follow are
necessary:
D Use an on-board monitoring programme to monitor the piston underside (PU)
drain oil. Make an analysis of the Fe content, Cr content and the residual base
number (BN) from the PU drain oil. For more data, see Fig. 2 and 0750−1
Lubricating Oils, paragraph 3.2.
D At regular intervals, visually examine the PU.
D Make an analysis of the fuel quality. If possible, send a sample of the fuel to a
laboratory to make an analysis of the effective sulfur content. Do the analysis
before you use the fuel oil for the first time.
Note: Engines with the same design can have different piston running
performances (because of different operation modes, the properties of the used
cylinder lubricating oil or the engine tuning). The most important problem is that
cold corrosion can occur and causes faster or more dangerous wear on piston
running components.
There are different engine operation modes and operation responses. Each
engine operation mode needs an applicable cylinder lubrication set-up. To find the
correct set-up, see the data given in paragraph 2, paragraph 3 and paragraph 4.
The setting of the sulfur dependency category is related to the residual BN in the
PU drain oil of the engine (see 0750−1 Lubricating Oils, paragraph 3.2).
Table 1 shows data about the different feed rates used in this manual.

Table 1: Feed Rate Glossary


Guide Feed Rate Recommended base feed rate, e.g. 0.8 g/kWh for
pulse lubricating systems.
Base Feed Rate Adjusted feed rate in the lubricating system. Load
dependent without sulfur dependency.
Sulfur Dependant Feed Adjusted feed rate in the lubricating system. Load
Rate dependent with sulfur dependency.
Effective Feed Rate Actual feed rate. Load dependent and also sulfur
dependent, if applicable.

Set the applicable adjustment of the cylinder lubricating feed rate in relation to the
fuel sulfur content, cylinder lubrication BN and engine load. See the flow diagram
given in Fig. 1 to find the applicable cylinder lubricating feed rate.

2. Base Feed Lubrication (Engine Load is More than 60% CMCR)

The recommended base feed rate for pulse lubricating systems is 0.8 g/kWh.
Note: When the engine load is more than 60% CMCR, Wärtsilä Services
Switzerland Ltd. recommends that you set the base feed rate as a function of the
used cylinder lubricating system.

3. Sulfur Dependent Lubrication (Engine Load is Less than 60% CMCR)

During low load operation, the conversion of the sulfur in the HFO into sulfuric acid
increases. The alkaline additives in the cylinder lubricating oil make the acidic
components neutral. For more data, see see 0750−1 Lubricating Oils,
paragraph 3.3.
Wärtsilä Services Switzerland Ltd. recommends that you use a sulfur dependent
feed rate if the engine operates at less than 60% CMCR (see Table 2).
To increase the protective chemical properties of the cylinder lubricating oil at low
load operation, Wärtsilä Services Switzerland Ltd. recommends that you adjust
the cylinder lubricating oil feed rate. Refer to the data that follows to set the cylinder
lubricating oil feed rate:
D The base feed rate [g/kWh]
D The sulfur content [% m/m] of the used residual HFO
D BN [mg KOH/g] of the used cylinder lubricating oil
D Installed cylinder lubricating system
D PU drain oil residual BN.
Equipment Hazard: The results of the bunker analysis and the values given in the
Bunker Delivery Note (BDN) can be different. Always use the higher sulfur content
value to set the correct feed rate to make sure that the engine operates safely.
Note: Use the cylinder lubricating oil feed rates given in Table 2 as a function of the
used cylinder lubricating system, cylinder lubricating oil and fuel.
See the data given in Table 2 to set the sulfur dependent cylinder lubricating oil
feed rate (LOFR) for pulse lubricating systems (PLS) and systems with a guide
feed rate of 0.8 g/kWh at CMCR.

5. Blending on Board

You can use the Wärtsilä Blending on Board (BoB) system to adjust the base
number of the cylinder lubricating oil.
The system oil is used as a base oil and the correct additive package is added to
make an applicable cylinder lubricating oil. The BoB system gives the best results
related to the necessary neutralization and detergency properties of the cylinder
lubricating oil.
You can make different BN lubricating oils on board. With an applicable cylinder
lubricating oil it is not necessary to adjust the feed rate to different operation
modes, i.e. the base feed rate is not changed, but the cylinder oil BN is adjusted.
Use the BoB system together with an on-board monitoring system for the PU drain
oil (e.g. SEA-MateE B2000 blender combined with the SEA-MateE M2000 XRF
analyzer) to make a correct BN lubricating oil. The correct BN improves the
corrosion protection and the detergency properties of the lubricating oil.
The BoB system is most applicable for vessels that operate on a wide range of
different fuel oils (related to the fuel sulfur content) and operation modes.
As a general recommendation, see the data given in Table 4. But, adjust the values
as a function of the engine performance for each engine. For more data, speak to
or send a message to Wärtsilä Services Switzerland Ltd.

1. General

The oil pump 1 (see Fig. ’A’) supplies oil at the necessary pressure for engine
control, lubrication and crosshead lubricating oil pump 4 (but not cylinder
lubrication). For data about the pressure values, see 0250−1 Operating Data
Sheet.
The oil supply to the different lubricating points is shown in the schematic diagrams
Fig. ’A’ and Fig. ’B’.
The cylinder and exhaust valve lubrication is described in 7218−1.
The location of the pumps, filters, heat exchangers, etc is shown on the plant
diagram, which is given in different documentation.

2. Bearing and turbocharger oil system

Bearing oil is supplied through the oil inlet pipe 5 on fuel side to the oil pipe 10 and
the main bearings 9 through bores in the bearing girders.
Bearing oil is also used to cool the piston through the toggle lever 15 (for more
data, see 3603−1 Piston Cooling and Crosshead Lubrication).
Oil flows to the exhaust valve control units through the servo oil system (see
paragraph 4 and 4003−2 Control Diagram).
There is an oil supply through the supply pipe 18 for the bearings, nozzles, fuel
pumps and internal bores in the supply unit (for more data, see 5552−1 Supply Unit
and 5556−1 Fuel Pump).
From inlet pipe 5, oil also flows off to operate the fuel pressure control valve 3.06 in
the fuel rail (see 8019−1, paragraph 3 and the Control Diagram).
The built-in axial damper 8, (and if installed, the vibration damper 26), intermediate
wheels 21 and the drive supply unit are supplied and cooled with bearing oil.
The bearing oil and crosshead bearing oil systems are connected through the
non-return valve 6.
Turbocharger TPL type:
Bearing oil flows through the oil inlet pipe 5 on the fuel side and oil inlet pipe 27 to
the turbochargers 28. The oil flows back through the vent tank 29 (air separator
built in to the scavenge air receiver) to the outlet pipe 30 and the main leakage oil
collector 32 from the exhaust valve to the column.
Turbocharger A100-L type:
Bearing oil flows through oil inlet pipe 5 on fuel side and the oil inlet pipe 25 to the
turbochargers 26. The oil flows back through the outlet pipe 28 to the main leakage
oil collector 30.
The device (ball valves 34 and 35) used to get oil samples is installed in the outlet
pipe for dirty oil 33 from the piston underside (see also 0750−1 Cylinder lubricating
oil).
Remark: During operation, the ball valves 36 stay open and the ball valves 35 are
closed.

4. Servo oil system

The servo oil system controls the exhaust valve movement and the injection
control units. The necessary oil flows off from the bearing oil system (see Fig. ’C’).

4.1 Servo oil service pump


The electrically-driven servo oil service pump 3 must be manually set to on and off.
The servo oil service pump is used to supply the necessary pressure for exhaust
valve movement. The servo oil service pump is also used to do a leak test before
the first commissioning, or after maintenance on the servo oil system.
Do not start the servo oil service pump if the bearing oil pump is not in operation.

Remark: The lubricating oil pump and servo oil service pump must only be set to
on after the air spring air supply is available and the exhaust valves are closed.
The servo oil service pump increases the pressure in the fuel rail when necessary
through the tool 94583 (pipe) (see 8019−1 High pressure circuit and 0120−1 Vent
and leak test of fuel oil system on engine).
The servo oil service pump is not necessary for engine start or engine operation.
Remark: The stop valve 14 must be open before commissioning (see also 0130−1
Prepare the servo oil system).
Before engine start, make sure that the servo oil service pump is set to off.

4.2 Servo oil system


Oil flows through the automatic filter 1, the supply pipes 5 and 13 to the servo oil
pumps 4.
Do not operate the engine if there is no oil supply to the servo oil service pumps.
During operation, the stop valve 14 must always be open.
The servo oil pumps 4 supply oil to the servo oil rail 7 through the high pressure
(HP) servo oil pipes 6. The pressure value is related to the engine load.
The leakage oil pipe is attached to the connecting block of the HP servo oil pipes
(see paragraph 5).
Remark: The flow sensors 22 (installed upstream of each servo oil pump) monitor
the oil supply from the servo oil pumps. If a servo oil pump becomes defective, the
alarm and monitoring system (AMS) activates an alarm (see Servo Oil Pump
5551−1).
Servo oil flows from the servo oil rail 7 to the exhaust valve drive units 8 and the rail
valves. The servo oil controls the movement of the exhaust valve spindle. The
servo oil then flows through the flexible hose 19 to the return pipe 25 and through
the column back to the plant.
Servo oil also flows from the servo oil rail 7 through the flexible hose 18 to operate
the injection control units and their rail valves. The servo oil then flows through the
flexible hose 19 to the return pipe 25 and through the column back to the plant.
Servo oil flows through ’CL’ and operates the cylinder lubricating system at
decreased pressure (for more data, see 7218−1 Cylinder Lubrication and 4003−2)

5. Servo oil system − leakage

The level switches (LS) monitor all important leakages in the servo oil system.
If there is a large quantity of leakage oil, the related alarm is activated. See the
table below:

Level switch Monitored components


LS3444A Monitors fuel and oil leakage from the rail unit,
between exhaust valve drive unit and exhaust
valve (a check bore in the cover)
LS2055A Leakages from HP pipes

5.1 Leakage
Risk of injury! Always use gloves and safety goggles when you do work on hot
components. Oil can come out as a spray when you loosen the pipe connections,
and open the ball valves / stop valves.
If the level switch 9 (LS2055A) activates an alarm, the pipe connections 6 let you
find the location of the leakage (see Fig. ’E’). You can then do the related
procedure.
⇒ For the leakages in the HP servo oil pipes 11, do as follows:
− On the leakage oil pipe 8, carefully loosen the connections 6 a maximum of
two full turns (see Fig. ’E’ and Fig. ’F’).
⇒ On the servo oil service pump of the related HP servo oil pipe, use the
pressure controller to adjust the pressure to minimum.
If only one HP servo oil pipe is serviceable, you can operate the engine until the
defective HP servo oil pipe is replaced.
You can find defective hydraulic pipes when oil flows from the check bore ’CB’ in
the housing of the related exhaust valve control unit 2 (for more data, see 0520−1
Operation with Exhaust Valve Control Unit Cut Out).

6. Servo oil rail − fill and pressure release

The servo oil pumps supply bearing oil to the HP servo oil pipes 6 through the
automatic filter 1 (see Fig. ’C’ and Fig. ’D’). The supply pressure opens the
non-return valves 16 and oil flows into the servo oil rail 7. From the servo oil rail, the
oil flows to the exhaust valve control units 8, through the hydraulic pipes 9 and into
exhaust valve housings. Orifices release the air in the system (see also Exhaust
valve 2751−1).

6.1 Fill and vent


⇒ Make sure that the stop valve 14 is open upstream of the automatic filter 1.
⇒ Make sure that the stop valve 18 in the servo oil rail 7 is closed.
⇒ Make sure that the plug 3 is tight (see Fig. ’G’).
⇒ Start the bearing oil pump.
Remark: To do a function check of the exhaust valve movement, or a leak test of
the servo oil system, the servo oil service pump must be set to on.

6.2 Pressure release and drain


To release the pressure and drain the servo oil rail, do the procedure that follows:
⇒ Remove the plug 3.
⇒ Carefully open the ball valve 2 to release the pressure and drain the servo oil
rail 1.
⇒ Close the ball valve 2
⇒ Install the plug 3.

Lubricating oil flows through the toggle levers 10 to the crosshead pins 9, then
through the connecting rods to the bottom end bearings 8 (see Fig. ’B’).
Remark: If the crosshead lubricating oil pump 4 becomes defective, the
crosshead bearing oil system is supplied with bearing oil pressure. In these
conditions, the engine can only be operated at a decreased load of 40%.

3.2 Main leakage oil collection


Leakage oil flows to the oil drain tank ’DT’ through the pipes that follow:
− Leakage oil pipe 13
− Leakage oil from air spring 14 through the leakage oil return 15
− Leakage oil pipe exhaust valve 18 DE
− Leakage oil pipe exhaust valve 19 FE
− Oil drain 16 from fuel pressure control valve 3.06

4. Servo oil system

The servo oil system controls the exhaust valve movement and the injection
control units. The necessary oil flows off from the bearing oil system (see Fig. ’C’).

4.1 Servo oil service pump


The electrically-driven servo oil service pump 3 must be manually set to on and off.
The servo oil service pump is used to supply the necessary pressure for exhaust
valve movement. The servo oil service pump is also used to do a leak test before
the first commissioning, or after maintenance on the servo oil system.
Do not start the servo oil service pump if the bearing oil pump is not in operation.

Remark: The lubricating oil pump and servo oil service pump must only be set to
on after the air spring air supply is available and the exhaust valves are closed.
The servo oil service pump increases the pressure in the fuel rail when necessary
through the tool 94583 (pipe) (see 8019−1 High pressure circuit and 0120−1 Vent
and leak test of fuel oil system on engine).
The servo oil service pump is not necessary for engine start or engine operation.
Remark: The stop valve 14 must be open before commissioning (see also 0130−1
Checks to be carried out on servo oil system).
Before engine start, make sure that the servo oil service pump is set to off.

4.2 Servo oil system


Oil flows through the automatic filter 1, the supply pipes 5 and 13 to the servo oil
service pumps 4.
Do not operate the engine if there is no oil supply to the servo oil service pumps.
During operation, the stop valve 14 must always be open.
The servo oil pumps 4 supply oil to the servo oil rail 7 through the high pressure
(HP) servo oil pipes 6. The pressure value is related to the engine load.
The leakage oil pipe is attached to the connecting block of the HP servo oil pipes
(see paragraph 5).
Remark: The flow sensors 22 (installed upstream of each servo oil service pump)
monitor the the oil supply from the servo oil service pumps. If a servo oil service
pump becomes defective, the alarm and monitoring system (AMS) activates an
alarm (see Servo Oil Pump 5551−1).
Servo oil flows from the servo oil rail 7 to the exhaust valve drive units 8 and the rail
valves. The servo oil controls the movement of the exhaust valve spindle. The
servo oil then flows through the flexible hose 19 to the return pipe 25 and through
the column back to the plant.
Servo oil also flows from the servo oil rail 7 through the flexible hose 18 to operate
the injection control units and their rail valves. The servo oil then flows through the
flexible hose 19 to the return pipe 25 and through the column back to the plant.
Servo oil flows through ’CL’ and operates the cylinder lubricating system at
decreased pressure (for more data, see 7218−1 and 4003−2 Control Diagram).

5.1 Leakage
Risk of injury! Always use gloves and safety goggles when you do work on hot
components. Oil can come out as a spray when you loosen the pipe connections,
and open the ball valves / stop valves.
If the level switch 9 (LS2055A) activates an alarm, the pipe connections 6 let you
find the location of the leakage (see Fig. ’E’). You can then do the related
procedure.
⇒ For the leakages in the HP servo oil pipes 11, do as follows:
− On the leakage oil pipe 8, carefully loosen the connections 6 a maximum of
two full turns (see Fig. ’E’ and Fig. ’F’).
⇒ On the servo oil service pump of the related HP servo oil pipe, use the
pressure controller to adjust the pressure to minimum.
If only one HP servo oil pipe is serviceable, you can operate the engine until the
defective HP servo oil pipe is replaced.
You can find defective hydraulic pipes when oil flows from the check bore ’CB’ in
the housing of the related exhaust valve control unit 2 (for more data, see 0520−1
Operation with Exhaust Valve Control Unit Cut Out).

6. Servo oil rail − fill and pressure release

The servo oil pumps supply bearing oil to the HP servo oil pipes 6 through the
automatic filter 1 (see Fig. ’C’ and Fig. ’D’). The supply pressure opens the
non-return valves 16 and oil flows into the servo oil rail 7. From the servo oil rail, the
oil flows to the exhaust valve control units 8, through the hydraulic pipes 9 and into
exhaust valve housings. Orifices release the air in the system (see also Exhaust
valve 2751−1).

6.1 Fill and vent


⇒ Make sure that the stop valve 14 is open upstream of the automatic filter 1.
⇒ Make sure that the stop valve 18 in the servo oil rail 7 is closed.
⇒ Make sure that the plug 3 is tight (see Fig. ’G’).
⇒ Start the bearing oil pump.
Remark: To do a function check of the exhaust valve movement, or a leak test of
the servo oil system, the servo oil service pump must be set to on.

6.2 Pressure release and drain


To release the pressure and drain the servo oil rail, do the procedure that follows:
⇒ Remove the plug 3.
⇒ Carefully open the ball valve 2 to release the pressure and drain the servo oil
rail 1.
⇒ Close the ball valve 2
⇒ Install the plug 3.

Cooling Water System

1. General

The schematic diagram (Fig. ’A’) shows the cooling water system on the engine.
The location of pumps, coolers, fresh water generator, heater, expansion tank,
valves and throttling discs for flow control etc. are found in the separate
documentation for the plant layout (shipyard side). Also the layouts of raw water for
the scavenge air, lubricating oil and jacket cooling water coolers are shown in the
layout diagram.
The cooling water system is a closed circuit and connected to an expansion tank in
the plant. The cooling water, keeps cool the cylinder liners, cylinder covers and
exhaust valve cages.
In order to bring the cooling water to operating temperature even before the engine
has started a cooling water heater is installed in the plant.
The cooling water must be treated with an approved inhibitor to prevent corrosive
attack, sludge formation and scale deposits in the system (see Cooling Water /
Cooling Water Treatment 0760−1).
Attention! If the engine is out of operation for a long period in cold/frosty
conditions, you must drain the cooling water system. The water is chemically
treated and you must decontaminate the water in accordance with local
environmental regulations. To fill the system again, see the Cooling Water /
Cooling Water Treatment 0760−1.

Automatic cooling water temperature control:


Keep the temperature of the cooling water outlet temperature as stable as possible
during all load conditions. This will prevent too much expansion and contraction of
the combustion chamber components e.g. cylinder liners and cylinder covers.
D ± 2_C at constant load
D ± 4_C during load changes (transient conditions)
For data about pressures, temperature ranges, alarm and safety setting points,
see Operating Data Sheets 0250−1 and 0250−2.

8017−1/A1 Operation

Cooling Water System

2. Function

The cooling water pump supplies cooling water, through the supply pipe 6 on the
exhaust side, to the cylinders. The cooling water flows through the cylinder liner 11,
water guide jacket 12, cylinder cover 13 and exhaust valve cage 14.
You can use the shut-off valves 5 and 7 to isolate and drain each cylinder from the
cooling water system. A vent pipe 2 is connected to an expansion tank and the
main outlet connector 1. The cooling water system continuously vents.
The water flows from the cylinder cooling water outlet 3 through the adjustable
throttle 3 and a temperature regulating valve to the cooler and back to the pump. A
balance pipe connects the suction side of the pump to the expansion tank. This
balance pipe makes sure there is static pressure and also adjusts for the
expansion and decrease of water.
A throttle 15 is installed in the outlet pipe of each cylinder. The throttle controls the
flow rate of cooling water through the cylinder.
The adjustable throttle 4, installed in the cylinder cooling water outlet 3, controls
the pressure in the system.

Fuel System

1. General

For heavy fuel operation, the heating system is used to keep the engine warm
during operation and for a short engine stop. All the pipes to the injection control
units 13 (see Fig. ’A’) have heating pipes and applicable insulation.
For safety, the fuel rail is installed in the rail unit 30. All the pipes in the high
pressure circuit outside the rail unit casing have double-walls.

2. Low pressure circuit

A booster pump installed in the plant supplies fuel through the fuel inlet pipe 1 to the
fuel pumps 3. The fuel quantity supplied is more than necessary for the engine.
The pressure retaining valve 6 adjusts the booster pressure to the specified
setting. Unwanted fuel flows back to the system through the fuel outlet pipe 4.

2.1 Setting the pressure retaining valve


The fuel pressure values must be adjusted in accordance with the indications in
Operating Data Sheet 0250−1 for ’fuel pump inlet’ and ’fuel pump return’
(downstream of the pressure retaining valve).
When the spindle 31 is turned in a clockwise direction (+), the pressure is
increased. When the spindle is turned in a counterclockwise direction (−), the
pressure is decreased. The pressures are shown on the pressure gauges 7. The
two locknuts 32, 33 must be loosened before the spindle can be adjusted (see ’Fig.
B’).
If it is necessary to drain the low pressure circuit (i.e. for fuel pump removal), use
the screw plugs 34 (see Fig. ’A’ and Fig. ’E’).

3. High pressure circuit

Before the first commissioning, or after maintenance on the high pressure circuit,
the tool 94583 (pipe) can be connected between the fuel rail 12 and the servo oil
rail (4.11) (see Fig. ’A’). The servo oil service pump supplies the necessary
pressure through the servo oil system for a leak test and quick vent of the high
pressure circuit (see 0120−1’Venting and leak test of fuel system on the engine’).
The fuel pumps 3 supply fuel through the high pressure (HP) fuel pipes 8 into the
fuel rail. The fuel pumps supply sufficient fuel to keep the necessary pressure in
the fuel rail (see Fuel Pump 5556−1).
The injection control units 13 control the fuel injection volume to each injection
valve 15.
The non-return valves 9, 10 or 11 prevent a pressure decrease in the fuel rail if
there is damage that lets fuel come out as a spray from the HP fuel pipe 8 (see
paragraph 4, Fuel leakage system).

4.2.1 Procedure
⇒ Carefully loosen the pipe union of the leakage fuel pipe 35 a maximum of two
turns (see Fig. ’E’). Do a check to see if fuel flows out or not.
A defective HP fuel pipe can only be replaced after the engine has stopped. If the
HP fuel pipe cannot be replaced immediately, the related fuel pump must be cut out
(see Cutting Out and Cutting In of the Fuel Pump 5556−2).
⇒ Replace the defective fuel HP fuel pipe (see the Maintenance Manual
8752−1).
Remark: If the engine must continue to operate, use the tool 94555 to cut out the
related fuel pump at the zero position to stop the fuel supply (see Faults in High
Pressure Fuel System 0515−1).
When a fuel pump is cut out, the engine can only operate at decreased load (see

Exhaust Waste Gate (Low-load Tuning)

1. General

The Low-load Tuning (LLT) gives the lowest possible Brake Specific Fuel
Consumption (BSFC) in the range of 40% to 70% engine load (see Fig. ’A’ for the
schematic diagram of the LLT function).
With LLT, engines can operate continuously at all loads in the range of 30% to
100%.
The LLT uses a specially designed turbocharger system and engine parameters.
These parameters are related to fuel injection and exhaust valve control and get
the best decreased part-load BSFC in LLT.
Engines with LLT have an exhaust gas waste gate installed (i.e. a pneumatically
operated valve on the exhaust gas manifold upstream of the turbocharger turbine).
Exhaust gas blown through the waste gate flows to the exhaust uptake.
A turbocharger is used to get LLT for part-load operation. The combustion
pressure is increased at less than 75% load through an increased scavenge air
pressure (waste gate closed). The waste gate opens at engine loads of more than
85% to prevent damage to the turbocharger and the engine from overload.
The higher scavenge air pressure at part-load causes a decrease in the thermal
load and thus, better combustion for the full part-load range.
The engine parameters that control the fuel injection and exhaust valve operation
are selected to make sure that the applicable NOx limit is obeyed.
The specified parameters make sure that the waste gate opens and closes
smoothly through the full range. However, higher scavenge air pressure increases
NOx emissions. Thus, to get the correct value for the test cycle, it is necessary to
adjust the parameters for the scavenger air pressure increase.

2. Function

When the load is less than 85% (in accordance with ISO conditions), the force of
the spring in the actuator 2 (see Fig. ’B’) keeps the butterfly valve 1 in the closed
position.

Open:
When the engine load is more than 85%, the scavenge air pressure increases to
more than the set limit. The WECS−9520 activates the 3/2-way solenoid valve 4,
air spring air is released through the control air pipe 12 to the actuator and the
butterfly valve 1 opens.

Close:
When the engine load decreases to less than 85% and the scavenge air pressure
decreases to less than the set limit, the WECS−9520 deactivates the solenoid
valve. This stops the air spring air supply. The pressure in the system is released
and the spring in the actuator closes the butterfly valve.
If a part becomes defective, alarm messages are activated in the WECS−9520
and shown in the alarm and monitoring system (see 0820−1 Exhaust waste gate).

3. Function check

A function check is necessary when the engine operates for long periods at low
engine load with the exhaust waste gate closed. Do the function check that follows
one time each week.
Remark: You can do this function check:
− When the engine is stopped, or
− When the engine operates at less than 70% load.
You can do procedure one or procedure two:

Procedure one:
⇒ Turn the screw 6 on the solenoid valve 4 inwards until the butterfly valve 1
opens.
⇒ Turn the screw 6 back to its initial position.

Procedure two:
⇒ On the USER or ExhWgt page of the flexView, set the manual command to
OPEN.
The butterfly valve opens.
Remark: After 20 seconds the butterfly valve will close automatically.

Drainage System and Wash-water Piping System

1. General

You must do checks at regular intervals to make sure that all drain pipes are not
blocked. The checks on the drain pipes 3, 10 and 25 from the turbocharger, piston
underside and piston rod glands are important (see Fig. ’A’).
The ambient temperature and humidity can cause condensate to flow out
upstream and downstream of the cooler at the water drain 12. Very high ambient
conditions can make up to 0.16 kg/kWh of condensate.

2. Condensate drain

The charging module has four condensate drains. These drains must operate
correctly as follows:
⇒ Make sure that all valves in the condensate drain pipe are fully open.
⇒ Make sure that the 3-way ball cock 22 is in the position USUAL OPERATION
(see Fig. ’B’).
Remark: During engine operation, the butterfly valves 18 must always be set to
the closed position.
The condensate will flow off through the orifice plate, but:
D Dirt particles (rust) can collect in the butterfly valves 18
⇒ Open the butterfly valves 18 at regular intervals to remove dirt particles.
⇒ At regular intervals, look at the sight glasses 20 to make sure that water flows.
See also 0240−1 Checks and precautions, paragraph 2.
If one, or the two level switches 7 activates an alarm (condensate level too high),
you must find the cause immediately and correct the defect. The possible causes
of the alarm are:
− The 3-way ball cock 22 is in position CLOSED (see Fig. ’B’).
− The scavenge air cooler is defective (see 0550−1).
− There is too much contamination in the butterfly valves 18 (the orifice plate is
blocked).
− You must clean the butterfly valves 18 and orifice plates as soon as possible.
Attention! You must clean the butterfly valves 18 and orifice plates only at engine
standstill.
Blocked drains let too much condensate collect in the scavenge air receiver. The
water / water vapor has an unwanted effect on piston operation and increases
wear on the piston rings and cylinder liners.

1. Introduction

The Intelligent Combustion Control (ICC) system makes sure that the engine in
service is operated in accordance with its original shop test performance. This is
done automatically in and independently of the fuel used on board a vessel (e.g.
HFO).
At present, the engine control parameters (e.g. start of injection or exhaust valve
timing) are optimized manually within their permitted range in relation to the
measured peak firing and compression pressures. This manual adjustment
procedure is not done regularly, thus further optimization potential can be
exploited by permanently working closed-loop control.
Because of this functionality, the engine operation is always at its best.

2. Safety

Remark: The ICC system can only be installed, operated, serviced and repaired
by qualified personnel.

2.1 User qualification


Qualified personnel are those who are trained, appointed and instructed by the
system’s user. The personnel know the related standards, provisions,
accident-prevention regulations and plant conditions through their training,
experience and instruction. Personnel are entitled to do the necessary work while
at the same time recognize and prevent possible hazards.
The DIN VDE 0105 or IEC 364 regulations control the definition of skilled
personnel and the ban on the use of unqualified personnel.

Intelligent Combustion Control

2.2 Residual dangers


The ICC system is manufactured in accordance with the generally recognized
rules of engineering, industrial safety and accident-prevention regulations.
However, during its use it is possible that hazards could occur, which can lead to
injuries to personnel or which could cause damage to other property.
The ICC system must be used only in a technically faultless state, in accordance
with the operating instructions. Faults that can decrease safety must be corrected
immediately.

2.3 Installation and maintenance


Read the local accident-prevention regulations and the related operating and
maintenance instructions when you work on the machine or system. It is important
that the shutdown procedure for the machine or system is followed as given in the
related instruction manual.

3. Description

The ICC system is an optional part of the WECS−9520, which adjusts the peak
firing pressure of the engine according to engine design criteria. The injection
timing and exhaust valve timing are changed to balance the firing and
compression pressure of all cylinders in their permitted range. All modifications to
engine control parameters that the ICC activates are in accordance with the
vessel’s IMO certificate.
During operation, the ICC system puts a limit on the pressure increase of the
engine as an included safety function. This decreases wear of engine
components, risks of overload and prevents potential incorrect manual
adjustments if there is an open-loop control.

3.1 Pressure transducers


The accurate and continuously measured in-cylinder pressure of all units forms
the structure of the ICC system.
The pressure transducers (Pressductor® technology, related to a magneto-elastic
measuring principle) are used to measure the in-cylinder pressure.
The transducers (see Fig. ’A’) are installed on the cylinder cover just below the
indicator cocks (one on each cylinder).

Cylinder pressure transducers

2013 2/ 9 Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd.


Operation 9308−1/A1

Intelligent Combustion Control

The transducers have a unique blow-through design. Usually before main engine
start, the indicator cocks are opened while slowly turning the engine. During that
time, all potential combustion residuals (especially from the use of HFO ) are blown
out.
This cleaning function guarantees accurate measurement data during long-term
operation and decreased maintenance work.

3.2 In-cylinder pressure evaluation


The compression pressure cannot be measured directly because of combustion
and fuel injection that can occur before TDC.
In the ICC system, the polynomial formula related to the position of the piston is
used to calculate the compression pressure of each cycle.
The peak firing pressure is the highest measured pressure value in the crank angle
range between the injection start and approximately 20°CA after TDC as shown in
Fig. ’B’.

B Firing Pressure

Pressure at 0°CA

Cylinder pressure trace of a two-stroke engine

The ICC system gives a limit to the pressure increase, e.g. 40 bar (the difference
between the firing pressure and compression pressure) to prevent mechanical
overload.

3.3 ICC - Installation and control


The necessary firing pressure, data read from the shop test, is converted back (by
a reverse ISO correction) to site conditions at each actual operating point of the
engine. This makes sure that the engine firing pressure is adjusted in relation to its
design criteria and the engine is not overloaded while the full potential is used.
Together with the ICC, temperature and pressure sensors (that are directly
connected to the WECS−9520) are installed upstream of the turbocharger (TC)
compressor inlet and in the scavenge air receiver. The ICC and these temperature
and pressure sensors continuously monitor the real-time ambient conditions and
let the engine adapt to daily differences in regional climates.

Initially, the signal is filtered in the WECS−9520, then routed to a controller.


Adjustments of this measured pressure value to its corrected set-point value at a
specified engine load are done accordingly. This real-time site correction and
comparison, shown in the pressure control strategy (see Fig. ’D’), is done for each
individual engine cycle.

4. Operation

4.1 Operation of ICC


In the WECS−9520 it is possible to set to on or off each individual sub-function of
the ICC system. The system adjusts the necessary average value of the firing
pressure to its site-corrected set-point value. This balances the firing pressure of
all units and balances the compression pressure.
When all sub-functions are set to off, the engine operates in a conventional
open-loop control mode.
The in-cylinder pressure balancing and the firing pressure control are enabled to
more than the operating range of the auxiliary blowers (the auxiliary blowers are
set to off).
The exhaust valve timing and injection timing of each cylinder unit is adjusted to
get balanced compression and firing pressures.
Differences of single unit values for exhaust valve operation and injection timing
compared to other units are already an indication for hardware issues of specified
cylinder units and should be further investigated.

4.2 ICC-EXV card


The flex-view card (see Fig. ’E’) shows the measured values of the compression
pressure for each cylinder together with the average value of compression
pressures for all cylinders. On the right-hand diagram, the exhaust valve closing
offset values and the average offset value are shown.

When the compression pressure balancing function is set to ON (see Fig. ’F’) the
ICC system calculates the offset.

When the compression pressure balancing function is set to OFF (see Fig. ’G’), the
offset is the same as on the flexView Adjust card that the operator has adjusted.

From the ICC-EXV card (Fig. ’E’), the compression pressure balancing function
can be set to ON as follows:
⇒ Select [Shift] + [Arrow UP].
⇒ To confirm, select [Shift] + [Enter] (see the workflow in Fig. ’H’).
