 Actuator for Exhaust Valve
MAN B&W Diesel

The ELVA valve which drives the actuator

on the exhaust side has two positions,
open or shut.
I ON
UT Actuator

IB
When it is opened with a binary signal from the

R
engine control system, the hydraulic oil is
forced in and pushes the pistons upwards,thus
opening the engine’s exhaust valve via the
I ST ELVA
hydraulic push rod.

R D
F O
The pressure is permanently maintained

T
until the ELVA valve is activated to block

O
the pressure when the required exhaust phase

N
is completed.

The exhaust valve is returned to its closed

position by the force from the air spring.

with the new geometry of the W-seat, which
retains the temperature reducing features of the

chamber seat and combines them with the

benefit of the two narrow concentric contact

eliminated without giving rise to any appreciable

The roller is pressed against a rotating spindle at a
pressure of 10 tons. The combination of the deformation
and the subsequent heating in the oven imparts a
hardness to the interial which has not been seen before.
