1.1. Technical main data
The Wrtsil 32 is a 4-stroke diesel engine, non-reversible, turbocharged and intercooled with direct fuel injection.

Total sediment potential 60C 0.10% by weight The fuel specification corresponds to fuel according to ISO 8217 : 1996 (E) categories up to ISO-F-RMK 55. Maximum limits for sodium, water content before engine and asphaltenes have been added. Provided the fuel treatment system can remove water and solids. Sodium contributes to hot corrosion on exhaust valves when combined with high vanadium content. Sodium also contributes strongly to fouling of the exhaust gas turbine blading at high load. The aggressiveness of the fuel depends not only on its proportions of sodium and vanadium but also on the total amount of ash. Hot corrosion and deposit formation are, however, also influenced by other ash constituents. It is therefore difficult to set strict limits based only on the sodium and vanadium content of the fuel. Also a fuel with lower sodium and vanadium contents than specified above, can cause hot corrosion on engine components.

The cylinder output P1 can be calculated as follows: P1 [kW] = pe [bar] x n [RPM] x 0.0268 pe [bar] x n [RPM] x 0.0365 P1 [hp] = where P1 = output per cylinder pe = mean effective pressure n = engine speed

1.5. Reference conditions


The maximum continuous output is available at a charge air coolant temperature of max. 38C, an air temperature of max. 45C and an exhaust gas back pressure of max. 300 mmWC. If the actual figures exceed these, the engine should be derated. The specific fuel consumption indicated in Technical Data is valid under reference conditions according to ISO 3046/1-1995, i.e.:

The maximum fuel rack position is mechanically limited to 100%.

For other than ISO 3046/I conditions the same standard gives correction factors. The influence of an engine driven lube oil pump on the specific fuel consumption is about 2 g/kWh and of each engine driven cooling water pump about 1 g/kWh, at full load and nominal speed.

For auxiliary engines the permissible overload is 10% for one hour every twelve hours. The maximum fuel rack position is mechanically limited to 110% 2% continuous output. The alternator outputs are calculated for an efficiency of 0.965 and a power factor of 0.8. The above output is also available from the free end of the engine for in-line engines, if necessary.

2. Operation data

2. Operation data
2.1. Dimensioning of propellers
Controllable pitch (CP) propellers
Controllable pitch propellers are designed so that 100% of the maximum continuous engine output at nominal engine speed is utilized when the ship is on trial at specified speed and draft. Shaft generators or generators connected to the free end of the engine should be considered when dimensioning propellers in case continuous generator output is to be used at sea. Overload protection or load control is recommended in all installations. In installations where several engines are connected to the same propeller, overload protection or load control is required. The graph, 4V93L0687, shows the operating range for a CP-propeller installation. The recommended combinator curve and the 100% load curve are valid for a single-engine installation. In case of a twin-engine installation a lighter combinator program shall be used, when only one engine is in operation. The idling (clutch-in) speed should be as high as possible and will be decided separately in each case.

Fixed pitch (FP) propellers


The dimensioning of fixed pitch propellers should be made very thoroughly for every vessel as there are only limited possibilities to control the absorbed power. Factors which influence the design are: The resistance of the ship increases with time due to fouling of the hull. The wake factor of the ship increases with time. The propeller blade frictional resistance in water increases with time. Bollard pull requires higher torque than free running. Propellers rotating in ice require higher torque. The FP-propeller shall be designed to absorb 85% of the maximum continuous output of the engine at nominal speed when the ship is on trial, at specified speed and load. In ships intended for towing, the propeller can be designed for 95% of the maximum continuous output of the engine at nominal engine speed in bollard pull or at towing speed. The absorbed power at free running and nominal speed is usually then relatively low, 65 - 80% of the output at bollard pull.

Marine Project Guide W32 - 1/1998

2. Operation data

In ships intended for operation in heavy ice, the additional torque must be considered. The graph, 4V93L0688, shows the permissible operating range for an FP-propeller installation as well as the recommended design point at 85% MCR at engine flywheel and nominal speed. The min. speed will be decided separately for each installation. It is recommended that the speed control system is designed to give a speed boost signal to the speed governor in order to prevent the engine speed from decreasing when clutching-in. The clutch should be dimensioned for a slipping time of 5 - 8 seconds. A propeller shaft brake should be used to enable fast maneuvering (crash-stop).

2.3. Restrictions for low load operation and idling


The engine can be started, stopped and run on heavy fuel under all operating conditions. Continuous operation on heavy fuel is preferred instead of changing over to diesel fuel at low load operation and manoeuvering. The following recommendations apply to idling and low load operation:

Absolute idling
(declutched main engine, unloaded generator) Max. 10 min., (recommended 3 - 5 min.), if the engine is to be stopped after the idling. Max. 6 hours after which the engine must be loaded to min. 70% of the rated load for at least 1 hour.

2.2. Loading capacity for generating sets


Provided that the engine is preheated so that the cooling water temperature is min. 70C, the engine can be loaded immediately after start without other restrictions than the maximum transient frequency deviation specified by the classification societies. For supercharged engines, full load cannot be instantly applied due to the air deficit until the turbocharger has accelerated. The fastest loading is achieved with a successive gradual increase in load from 0 to 100%. It is recommended that the switchboards and the power management is designed to increase the load in three or four steps, from 0 - 100%, as also suggested by the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), see drawing 4V93F0092. This shall be done with the agreement of the relevant classification society.

Operation at 5 - 20% load


Max. 100 hours continuous operation. At intervals of 100 operating hours the engine must be loaded to min. 70% of the rated load for at least 1 hour.

Operation at higher than 20% load


No restrictions.

4. Description of the engine


Engine block
The engine block, made of nodular cast iron, is cast in one piece for all cylinder numbers. It incorporates the jacket water manifold, the camshaft bearings and the charge air receiver. In V-engines the charge air receiver is located between the cylinder banks. The crankshaft is mounted in the engine block in an underslung way. The bearing caps, made of nodular cast iron, are fixed from below by two hydraulically tensioned screws. They are guided sideways by the engine block at the top as well as at bottom. Hydraulically tensioned horizontal side screws at the lower guiding provide a very rigid crankshaft bearing. A hydraulic jack, supported in the oil sump, offers the possibility to lower and lift the main bearing caps, e.g. when inspecting the bearings. Lubricating oil is led to the bearings and piston through this jack. Flywheel and thrust bearings are located at the driving end of the engine. The oil sump, a light welded design, is mounted on the engine block from below and sealed by O-rings. The oil sump is available in two alternative designs, wet or dry sump, depending on the type of application. A wet oil sump comprises, in addition to a lubricating oil suction pipe, also a pipe for distributing oil to the main bearings and suction and return connections for the separator. The dry sump is drained at either end (free choice) to a separate system oil tank. The engine mounting bolts are hydraulically tightened in order to facilitate the engine fixation to the foundation.

Main bearings and big end bearings


The main bearings and big end bearings are either of tri-metal design with steel back, lead-bronze lining and a soft running layer, or of the bi-metal design with steel back and a tin-aluminium running layer.

Cylinder liner
The cylinder liners are centrifugally cast of special alloyed cast iron. The top collar of the cylinder liner is provided with bore cooling for efficient control of the liner temperature. The liner is equipped with an anti-polishing ring, preventing bore polishing.

Piston
The piston is of the composite type with steel crown and nodular cast iron skirt. The piston skirt/cylinder liner is lubricated by a piston skirt lubricating system featuring four lubricating bores in a groove on the piston skirt. The piston top is cooled by means of The shaker effect. The piston ring grooves are hardened.

Piston rings
The piston ring set consists of two chromium-plated compression rings and one spring-loaded oil scraper ring with chromium-plated edges.

Cylinder head
The cylinder head is made of nodular cast iron. The flame plate, which is thermally loaded, is relatively thin and is efficiently cooled by cooling water led from the periphery of the head radially towards the centre. In the bridges between the valves cooling channels are drilled to provide the best possible heat transfer. The mechanical load is absorbed by a strong intermediate deck, which together with the upper deck and the side walls form a box section in the four corners at which the hydraulically tightened cylinder head bolts are situated. The exhaust valve seats are directly water cooled. The valve seat rings are made of specially alloyed cast iron with good wear resistance. The inlet valves as well as the exhaust valves have stellite-plated seat faces and chromium-plated stems. In HFO operated engines nimonic exhaust gas valves are used. All valves are equipped with valve rotators. A multi-duct casting is fitted to the cylinder head. It connects the following media with the cylinder head: charge air from air receiver exhaust gas to exhaust system cooling water from cylinder head to the return pipe

Crankshaft
The crankshaft is forged in one piece. The connecting rods, at the same crank in the V-engines, are arranged side-by-side. For the same reason the diameters of the crank pins and journals are equal irrespective of the cylinder number. The crankshaft is fully balanced to counteract bearing loads from eccentric masses. If necessary, it is provided with a torsional vibration damper at the free end of the engine.

Connecting rod
The three-piece connecting rod design gives a minimum dismantling height and possibility to dismount the piston without opening the big end bearing. The connecting rod of alloy steel is forged and machined with round sections. All connecting rod studs are hydraulically tightened. The gudgeon pin bearing is of tri-metal type. Lubricating oil flows to the gudgeon pin bearing and piston through a bore in the connecting rod.

4. Description of the engine

Camshaft and valve mechanism


The cams are integrated in the drop forged shaft material. The bearing journals are made in separate pieces which are fitted to the camshaft pieces by flange connections. This solution allows removing of the camshaft pieces sideways. The bearing housings are integrated in the engine block casting. The camshaft bearings are installed and removed by means of a hydraulic tool. The camshaft covers, one for each cylinder, seal against the engine block with a closed sealing profile. The valve tappets are of the piston type with a certain self adjustment of roller against cam to give an even distribution of the contact pressure. The valve springs together with the tappet spring make the roller follow the cam continuously.

The fuel injection is stopped by setting the fuel rack to zero position. For emergencies the fuel rack of each injection pump is fitted with a stop cylinder. The blocking device can be operated by the operator. The fuel pump and pump bracket are adjusted in manufacturing to tight tolerances. This means that adjustments are not necessary after initial assembly. The fuel injection pump design is a reliable mono-element type designed for injection pressures up to 2000 bar. The constant pressure relief valve system provides for optimum injection, which guarantees long intervals between overhauls. The injector holder is designed for easy maintenance.

Exhaust pipes
The exhaust pipes are cast of nodular iron. The connections are of flange type. The exhaust system is enclosed in an insulated box consisting of easily removable plates supported on the multi-duct. Mineral wool is used as insulating material.

Camshaft drive
The camshafts are driven by the crankshaft through a gear train. The driving gear is fixed to the camshaft by means of flange connections.

Turbocharging and charge air cooling


The selected turbocharger offers the ideal combination of high pressure ratios and good efficiency both at full and part load. The V-engine has one charger per cylinder bank. For in-line engines and 12V-engines the turbochargers can be placed either at the driving or the free end. For cleaning of the turbocharger during operation there is, as standard, a water washing device for the air side and the exhaust side. The turbocharger is supplied with inboard plain bearings, which offers easy maintenance of the cartridge from the compressor side. The turbocharger is lubricated by the engine lubricating oil with integrated connections.

Wrtsil Engine Control System (WECS)


WECS is used for monitoring and control of the engine. It is developed for diesel engines and designed for the harsh environment. Wrtsil 32 is equipped with WECS 2000 and the structure of the system depends on the cylinder configuration. WECS comprises: measuring of the engine and turbocharger speed the safety system - starting of the engine - stopping of the engine - start blocking - slowdown request - automatic shutdown of the engine the signal processing of all monitoring and alarm sensors the readout of important engine parameters on a graphical display the data communication with external systems (e.g. alarm and monitoring systems). All sensors on the engine are connected to Distributed Control Units (DCU) and Sensor Multiplexer Units (SMU), while the signals to and from the external systems are connected to the Main Control Unit (MCU) and the Relay Module (RM). The engine parameters are shown on the Local Display Unit (LDU).

Injection equipment
The fuel injection equipment and system piping are located in a hot-box, providing maximum reliability and safety when using preheated heavy fuels. The fuel oil feed pipes are mounted directly to the injection pumps, using a specially designed connecting piece. The return pipe is integrated in the tappet housing. There is one fuel injection pump per cylinder with shielded high pressure pipe to the injector. The injection pumps, which are of the flow-through type, ensure good performance with all types of fuel. The pumps are completely sealed off from the camshaft compartment.

5. Fuel system

5. Fuel system
5.1. General
The Wrtsil 32 diesel engine is designed for continuous heavy fuel duty. It is, however, possible to operate the engine on diesel fuel without making any alterations. Main engines as well as auxiliary engines can be started and stopped on heavy fuel provided that the engine and fuel system are preheated to operating temperature. Also standby engines in unattended engine rooms can be started on heavy fuel. Usually only the tank, from which fuel is pumped to the settling tank, is heated to 40 - 50C, while the other tanks remain at a lower temperature. The heat consumption calculations are mainly based on heat losses from the day tank and the settling tank, to maintain the largest bunker tank at pumping temperature and simultaneously heating up the next largest tank. The design of the external fuel system may vary from ship to ship but every system should provide well cleaned fuel with the correct temperature and pressure to each engine. When using heavy fuel it is most important that the fuel is properly cleaned from solid particles and water. In addition to the harm poorly centrifuged fuel will do to the engine, high content of water may cause big problems for the heavy fuel feed system. Well-proven components should be used for the feed system. The fuel treatment system should comprise a settling tank and purifiers to supply the engine(s) with sufficiently clean fuel. When operating on heavy fuel the dimensioning of the purifier is of greatest importance and therefore the recommendations for the design of the purifier must be followed closely. In multi-engine installations, the main principles for dimensioning the fuel system are: Recommended maximum number of engines connected in parallel to the same fuel feed system is three. For main engines, separate fuel feed circuits are recommended for each propeller shaft (two-engine installations); in four-engine installations one engine from each shaft is fed from the same circuit. Main and auxiliary engines are recommended to be connected to separate circuits.

5.2. Internal fuel system on the engine


The standard system built on the engines comprises the following equipment: heavy fuel injection pumps injection valves pressure control valve or orifice in the outlet pipe All engines are furnished with injection pumps where the leak fuel is drained to atmospheric pressure (the clean leak fuel system). The leak fuel can be reconducted to the system without treatment. Concerning quantity of leak fuel, see Technical Data. Other possible leak fuel (the dirty leak fuel system) is drained separately and shall be led to a sludge tank. For in-line engines operating only on MDO engine driven fuel feed pump is available as an option.

5.3. Design of the external fuel system


In ships intended for operation on heavy fuel, heating coils must be installed in the bunker tanks. Normally the heating coils are dimensioned on the basis of heat transfer requirements for raising the temperature of the tank in a certain time e.g. 1C/h, considering also the heat losses when maintaining the tank at the required temperature.

5. Fuel system

FUEL TRANSFER AND SEPARATING SYSTEM


Heavy fuel (residual, and mixtures of residual and distillate) must be purified in an efficient centrifugal separator before entering the day tank. In case pure distillated fuel is used, centrifuging is still recommended as fuel may be contaminated in the storage tanks. The rated capacity of the separator may be used provided the fuel viscosity is less than 12 cSt at centrifuging temperature.

Suction strainer, separator feed pump


A suction strainer shall be fitted to protect the feed pump. The strainer should be equipped with a heating jacket in case the installation place is cold. The strainer can be either a duplex filter with change over valves or two separate simplex strainers. The design of the strainer should be such that air suction cannot occur. fineness 0.5 mm

Separator mode of operation


Two separators, both of the same size, should be installed. The capacity of one separator must be sufficient for the total fuel consumption. The other (standby) separator should also be in operation all the time. It is recommended that conventional separators with gravity disc are arranged for operation in series, the first as a purifier and the second as a clarifier. This arrangement can be used for fuels with a viscosity up to max. about 991 kg/m at 15C. Separators with controlled discharge of sludge (without gravity disc) operating on a continuous basis can handle fuels with a viscosity exceeding 991 kg/m at 15C. In this case the main and standby separators should be run in parallel. For pure distillate fuel, a separate purifier should be installed.

Feed pump, separator


The use of a high temperature resistant screw pump is recommended. The pump should be separate from the separator and electrically driven. Design data: The pump should be dimensioned for the actual fuel quality and recommended throughput of the separator. The flow rate through the separators should, however, not exceed the maximum fuel consumption by more than 10%. No control valve should be used to reduce the flow of the pump. operating pressure, max. operating temperature viscosity for dimensioning of the electric motor 5 bar 100C 1000 cSt

Preheater, separator
The preheater is dimensioned according to the feed pump capacity and a given settling tank temperature. The heater surface temperature must not be too high in order to avoid cracking of the fuel. The heater should be thermostatically controlled for maintaining the fuel temperature within 2C. The recommended preheating temperature for heavy fuel is 98C. Design data: The required minimum capacity of the heater is:
P kW = m l / h t C 1700

SEPARATING SYSTEM COMPONENTS Day tank, heavy fuel


See Feed system

Settling tank, heavy fuel


The settling tank should normally be dimensioned to ensure fuel supply for min. 24 operating hours when filled to maximum. The tank should be designed to provide an efficient sludge and water rejecting effect. The tank must be provided with a heating coil and should be well insulated. To ensure constant fuel temperature at the separator, the settling tank temperature should be kept stable. The temperature in the settling tank should be between 50 70C. The min. level in the settling tank should be kept high. This ensures that the temperature will not decrease too much when the tank is filled up with cold bunker.

m = capacity of the separator feed pump t = temperature rise in heater For heavy fuels t = 38C can be used, i.e. a settling tank temperature of 60C. Fuels having a viscosity higher than 5 cSt at 50C need preheating before the separator.

For MDO (max. viscosity 11 cSt at 50C) a flow rate of 80% and a preheating temperature of 45C are recommended. The flow rates recommended for the separator and the grade of fuel in use must not be exceeded. The lower the flow rate the better the separation efficiency.

This maximum service throughput of the separator depends on the type of HFO. It is typically expressed as a percentage of the nominal capacity of the separator.

Sludge tank, separator


The sludge tank should be placed below the separators as close as possible. The sludge pipe should be continuously falling without any horizontal parts.

5. Fuel system

FUEL FEED SYSTEM General


For heavy fuel operation a pressurized fuel feed system shall be installed. The overpressure in the system ensures proper operation of the circulation and injection pumps and prevents the formation of gas bubbles in the return lines from the engines. For fuels with a viscosity well below 180 cSt/50C a system with an open deaeration tank can be considered if the tanks can be located high enough to prevent cavitation of the fuel circulation pump. The heavy fuel pipes shall be properly insulated and equipped with trace heating if the viscosity of the fuel is 180 cSt/50C or higher. It shall be possible to shut-off the heating of the pipes.

gravity tank min. 15 m above the engine centerline pneumatic emergency pump single phase electric motor driven pump fed from an emergency supply

Suction strainer
A suction strainer with a fineness of 0.5 mm should be installed for protecting the feed pumps. The strainer should be equipped with jacket heating. The strainer may be either of duplex type with changeover valves or two simplex strainers in parallel. The design should be such that air suction is prevented.

Feed pump
The feed pump maintains the pressure in the fuel feed system. It is recommended to use a high temperature resistant screw pump as feed pump. Design data: capacity to cover the total consumption of the engines and flushing of the automatic filter operating pressure operating temperature viscosity (for dimensioning the electric motor) 6 bar 100C 1000 cSt

SYSTEM COMPONENTS Day tank, heavy fuel


The heavy fuel day tank is usually dimensioned to ensure fuel supply for about 24 operating hours when filled to maximum. It should be noted that the Solas regulations have been amended and therefore for ships constructed on or after 1 July 1998 two fuel oil service tanks for each type of fuel used on board necessary for propulsion and vital systems or equivalent arrangements shall be provided. These should have a capacity of at least 8 h at max. continuous rating of the propulsion plant and normal operating load at sea of the generator plant. The design of the tanks should be such that water and dirt particles do not collect in the suction pipe. The tank has to be provided with a heating coil and should be well insulated. Maximum recommended viscosity in the day tank is 140 cSt. Due to the risk of wax formation, fuels with a viscosity lower than 50 cSt/50C must be kept at higher temperatures than the viscosity would require. Fuel viscosity [cSt at 50C] 700 380 180 Minimum day tank temperature [C] 65 60 55

Pressure control (overflow) valve


The pressure control valve maintains the pressure in the de-aeration tank directing the surplus flow to the suction side of the feed pump. set point 3 - 6 bar

Fuel consumption meter


If a fuel consumption meter is required, it should be fitted between the feed pumps and the deaeration tank. It is recommended to install an automatically opening bypass line around the consumption meter due to possible clogging.

De-aeration tank
The volume of the tank should be about 100 l. It shall be insulated and equipped with a heating coil and a vent valve, controlled by a level switch. The valve shall be insulated and equipped with trace heating. The vent pipe should, if possible, be led downwards, e.g. to the overflow tank.

The tank and pumps should be placed so that a positive static pressure of 0.3...0.5 bar is obtained on the suction side of the pumps.

Circulation pump
The purpose of this pump is to maintain a pressure of 7 bar at the injection pumps. It also circulates the fuel in the system to maintain the viscosity, and keeps the piping and injection pumps at operating temperature. Design data: capacity min. operating pressure operating temperature viscosity (for dimensioning the electric motor) 4 x the maximum consumption of the engines 10 bar 150C 500 cSt

Day tank, diesel fuel


The diesel fuel day tank is normally dimensioned to ensure fuel supply for 12 - 14 operating hours when filled to maximum. Note also the amended Solas regulations for new ships as decribed above in the chapter "Day tank, heavy fuel".

Black-out start
In installations where standby generating sets are fed from the diesel fuel day tank sufficient fuel pressure for a safe start must be ensured also in the case of a black-out. This can be done with:

5. Fuel system

Heater
The heater(s) is dimensioned to maintain an injection viscosity of 14 cSt (for fuels having a viscosity higher than 380 cSt/50C, the temperature at the engine inlet should not exceed 135C), according to the maximum fuel consumption and a given tank temperature. To avoid cracking of the fuel the surface temperature in the heater must not be too high. The surface power of electric heaters must not be higher than about 1.5 W/cm. The output of the heater is controlled by a viscosimeter. As a reserve a thermostat control may be fitted. The set point of the viscosimeter shall be somewhat lower than the required viscosity at the injection pumps to compensate for losses in the pipes. Design data: The required minimum capacity of the heater is:
P [kW] = m [l / h] t [ C] 1700

fineness: - back-flushing filter: - insert filter:

34 m (absolute mesh size) 34 m (absolute mesh size)

maximum recommended pressure drop for normal filters at 14 cSt: - clean filter 0.2 bar - dirty filter 0.8 bar - alarm 1.5 bar If a finer mesh size than 25 m is specified, the automatic filter must be placed between the feeder pumps and the deaeration tank to avoid clogging of the filter mesh due to cracking of the fuel.

Viscosimeter
For the control of the heater(s) a viscosimeter has to be installed. A thermostatic control shall be fitted, to be used as safety when the viscosimeter is out of order. The viscosimeter should be of a design that withstands the pressure peaks caused by the injection pumps of the diesel engine. Design data: viscosity range at injection pumps 10 - 24 cSt operating temperature 180C operating pressure 40 bar

Safety filter
Since no fuel filters are built on the engine, one duplex type safety filter shall be installed between the booster module and the engine. The filter shall be located as close to the engines as possible. A common filter for all engines shall be used. The filter shall be equipped with an alarm contact for high differential pressure. fineness 34 - 37 m

To compensate for heat losses due to radiation the above values should be increased by 10 % + 5 kW.

Automatically cleaned fine filter


The use of an automatic back flushing filter is recommended, installed between the heaters and the viscosimeter in parallel with an insert filter as the standby half. For back-flushing filters the circulation pump capacity should be sufficient to prevent pressure drop during the flushing operation. Design data: fuel oil viscosity preheating flow operating pressure test pressure: - fuel side - heating jacket according to specification from 180 cSt/50C circulation pump capacity 10 bar 20 bar 10 bar operating temperature 0 - 150C

Leak fuel tank, clean fuel


Clean leak fuel draining from the injection pumps can, if desired, be reused without repeated treatment. The fuel should then be drained to a separate leak fuel tank and, from there, be pumped to the day tank. Alternatively, the clean leak fuel tank can be drained to another tank for clean fuel, e.g. the bunker tank, the overflow tank etc. The pipes from the engine to the drain tank shall be arranged continuously sloping and provided with trace heating and insulation.

Leak fuel tank, dirty fuel


Under normal operation no fuel should be leaking out of the dirty system. Fuel is drained only in case of a possible leakage or similar. The pipes to the sludge tank shall be trace heated and insulated.

This unit comprises normally the following equipment: two suction strainers two booster pumps of the screw type, equipped with built-on safety valves and electric motors one pressure control/overflow valve one pressurized de-aeration tank, equipped with a manually operated vent valve two circulation pumps, same type as above two heaters, steam or electric, one in operation, the other as spare one automatic back-flushing filter with bypass filter one viscosimeter for the control of the heaters one steam control valve or control cabinet for electric heaters one thermostat for emergency control of the heaters one control cabinet with starters for pumps, automatic filter and viscosimeter one alarm panel The above equipment is built on a steel frame, which can be welded or bolted to its foundation in the ship. All heavy fuel pipes are insulated and provided with trace heating. When installing the unit only power supply, group alarms, and fuel, steam and air pipes have to be connected.

5.4. Flushing instructions


Before start-up of the diesel engine(s) the external piping between the day tank(s) and the engine(s) must be flushed in order to remove any foreign particles, such as welding slag. Disconnect the fuel pipes at the engine inlet and outlet (connections 101 and 102). Install a temporary pipe or hose to connect the supply line to the return line, by-passing the engine. The piping should be flushed through a flushing filter with mesh size 34 microns or finer. The inserts of other filters should be removed. The heaters, automatic filters and viscosimeter should be by-passed to prevent permanent damage caused by debris in the piping. The automatic filter must not be used as flushing filter. The pump used should be protected by a suction strainer. The recommended flushing time is min. 6 hours. During this time the welds in the fuel piping should be gently knocked at with a hammer to release slag, and the filter inspected and carefully cleaned at regular intervals.

6.2. Design of the external lubricating oil system


Each engine should have a lubricating oil system of its own. Main engines as well as auxiliary engines operating on heavy fuel should have continuous centrifuging of the lubricating oil, either according to the bypass or batch principles. Auxiliary engines operating on fuels having a viscosity of max. 380 cSt/50C may have intermittent separation, with separation of a stopped engine. Alternatively, the used oil can be drained to a tank, from where it is separated to a storage tank for used oil.

Suitable Alfa-Laval and Westfalia separators are presented in the tables below:

Operating temperature, max. 100C


The separator should be dimensioned for continuous centrifuging. Each separate lubricating oil system should have its own separator. Auxiliary engines operating on a fuel having a viscosity of max. 380 cSt/50C may have a common separator. In installations with four or more auxiliary engines two separators should be installed. The separators should preferably have controlled discharge of the bowl to minimize the lubricating oil losses. The separator system must not be designed for water mixing when centrifuging.

Marine Project Guide W32 - 1/1998

6. Lubricating oil system

Separator pump
The separator pump can be directly driven by the separator or separately driven by a motor. The flow should be adapted to achieve the above mentioned optimal flow.

Suction strainer
If necessary, a suction strainer completed by magnetic bars can be fitted in the suction pipe to protect the lubricating oil pump. The suction strainer as well as the suction pipe diameter should be amply dimensioned to minimize the flow loss. The suction strainer should always be provided with alarm for high differential pressure.

Separator preheater
The separator preheater can be a steam or an electric heater. The surface temperature of the heater must not be too high in order to avoid coking of the oil. Design data: For main engines with centrifuging during operation, the heater should be dimensioned for this operating condition. The temperature in the separate system oil tank in the ships bottom is normally 65 - 75C. For auxiliary engines with centrifuging when stopped engine, the heater should be dimensioned large enough to allow centrifuging at optimal rate of the separator without heat supply from the diesel engine.

Fineness
System oil tank (separate)

0.5 - 1.0 mm

Lubricating oil storage tank


In engines with wet sump system, the lubricating oil can be added to the engine through the filling hole in the crankcase cover, by using a hand oil can, or through the separator pipe. The system should be arranged so that it is possible to measure the added oil volume.

Valve system
In auxiliary engines with wet sump operation, the standard engine is delivered with interconnected valves to make a replacement of flexible connections possible without draining the oil sump. Normally these valves will be open and the valves in the outside pipes have to be closed and opened when the oil is centrifuged.

The engine dry sump has two drain outlets at each end. On V-engines both outlets shall be used. The pipe connection between the sump and the system oil tank should be arranged flexible enough to prevent damages due to thermal expansion. The drain pipe from the oil sump to the system oil tank shall end below the min. oil level and shall not be led to the same place as the suction pipe. The end of the suction pipe should be trumpet-shaped or conical in order to reduce the pressure loss. For the same reason the suction pipe shall be as short and straight as possible. Also the suction and return pipes for the separator should not be located near each other. Recommendation for the design of the tank is given in the drawing of the engine room arrangement. The tank must not be placed so that the oil is cooled so much that the recommended lubricating oil temperature cannot be obtained. A cofferdam between the system oil tank and the hull plating is recommended. Design data:

7. Cooling water system

7. Cooling water system


7.1. General
Cylinder and turbocharger cooling as well as charge air and oil cooling is arranged by using fresh water. The pH-value and hardness of the water must be within normal values and the chlorine and sulphate contents should be as low as possible. To prevent rust forming in the cooling water system, a corrosion inhibitor should be added to the system, according to the instructions in the instruction manual. The cooling water pipes of the engine are made of steel. To allow start on heavy fuel, the cooling water system should be preheated to a temperature as near to the operating temperature as possible, or min. 70C. Engines in which full load is applied immediately after start should as well be preheated before start.

Circulating pump, direct driven, LT and HT circuit


As standard the engine is equipped with direct driven centrifugal LT and HT circulation pumps. Material: - housing - impeller - shaft - sealing Capacity cast iron cast iron stainless steel mechanical see Technical data

Pump curves for standard engines are shown in diagrams below. These pumps are driven by the engine crankshaft through gear transmission. On request, outlet and inlet connections for a separate standby pump can be provided. Shut-off valves are provided on the suction side of the engine driven pumps and non-return valves on the delivery side.

7.2. Internal cooling water system on the engine


Low temperature and high temperature circuits
The engine cooling circuit consists of a low temperature (LT) circuit for cooling of the lubricating oil and the charge air and a high temperature (HT) circuit for cooling of the jackets, cylinder head and charge air. The outlet temperatures of the LT and the HT circuits are controlled by thermostatic valves. Set point, HT-valve Set point, LT-valve 91C 44C

Charge air cooler


The charge air cooler is of self-supporting type screwed directly to the engine block. A two-stage cooler is used with a low temperature circuit cooled section and a high temperature cooled section, which increases the amount of recoverable heat.

Lubricating oil cooler


The lubricating oil cooler is built on the engine and fitted in series with the charge air cooler. For technical data see Lubricating oil system.

7.3. Design of the external cooling water system


The pipe dimensions in the cooling water system should be based on the following maximum water velocities: Fresh water, pressure pipe Fresh water, suction pipe Sea water, pressure pipe Sea water, suction pipe 3.0 m/s 2.5 m/s 2.5 m/s 1.5 m/s

Standby circulating water pumps, LT- and HT-circuit


The pumps should be electric motor driven centrifugal pumps. Concerning capacity, see technical data. The delivery head of the pumps should be increased with the actual flow resistance in the external pipes and valves.

Sea water pump


The sea water pumps have to be electrically driven. The capacity of the pumps are determined by the type of central coolers used and the heat to be dissipated.

The fresh water pipes should be designed to minimize the flow resistance as much as possible. The smaller the pressure drop in the pipes the bigger pressure drop can be allowed for the cooler.

Drain tank
It is recommended to provide a tank for draining the cooling water from the engines during maintenance so that the water and cooling water treatment can be collected and reused.

7. Cooling water system

Fresh water central cooler


The fresh water cooler can be either a tube or a plate cooler. Due to the smaller dimensions, lower cost and good resistance to erosion, plate coolers are normally used. The fresh water cooler can be common for several engines, also one independent cooler per engine is used. Design data: Fresh water flow to central cooler = q

The tank should be equipped so that it is possible to dose water treatment agents. The vent pipe of each engine should drain to the tank separately, continuously rising, and so that mixing of air into the water cannot occur (the outlet should be below the water level).

Preheating pump
Engines which are started on heavy fuel require preheating of the high temperature cooling water. Standby auxiliary engines should have preheated cooling water, also if in standby on MDO. Design data of the pump: Capacity 0.4 m/h x cyl. about 0.8 bar Pressure

q m 3 / h = q LT +

Preheater
The energy required for heating of the HT-cooling water in the main and auxiliary engines can be taken from a running engine or a separate source. In both cases a separate circulating pump should be used. If the cooling water systems of the main and auxiliary engines are separated from each other in other respects, the energy is recommended to be transmitted through heat exchangers. When preheating, the cooling water temperature of the engines should be kept as near the operating value as possible. Design data: Preheating temperature Required heating power min. 70C about 3 kW/cyl

Pressure drop on the fresh water side, max.

If the flow resistance in the external pipes is high it should be observed when designing the cooler. Sea water flow acc. to cooler manufacturer, normally 1.2 - 1.5 x the fresh water flow

Pressure drop on sea water side normally 0.8 - 1.4 bar Fresh water temperature after cooler (before engine), max. 38C Heat to be dissipated see the heat balance in Technical Data

Preheating unit
A complete preheating unit can be supplied as an option. The unit consists of the following parts: Electric or steam heaters Circulating pump Control cabinet for heaters and pump Safety valve One set of thermometers For installations with several engines the preheater unit can be chosen for heating up several engines. The heat from a running engine can be used and therefore the power consumption of the heaters will be less than the nominal capacity.

Safety margin to be added 15% + margin for fouling

Expansion tank
The expansion tank should compensate for volume changes in the cooling water system, serve as venting arrangement and provide sufficient static pressure for the circulating pumps. Pressure from the expansion tank Volume 0.7 - 1.5 bar min. 10% of the system water volume, however, min. 100 litres

Concerning engine water volumes, see Technical Data.

Waste heat recovery


The waste heat of the HT-circuit can be used for fresh water production. An additional thermostatic valve should be installed after the heat recovery equipment to avoid heat loss through the central cooler. The set point of this valve should be 85C. In order to maximize the FW production it is recommended to install a circulating pump for maintaining the HT-water flow constant through the FW generator, regardless of the engine load.

Available heat in HT-circuit


The heat dissipated to the HT-circuit is shown in the graph below. The recoverable heat will be about 10% lower due to heat losses to the expansion tank, etc.

8. Starting air system


8.1. Internal starting air system on the engine
All engines are started with compressed air with a nominal maximum pressure of 30 bar. The start is performed by direct injection of air into the cylinders through the starting air valves in the cylinder heads. V-engines are provided with starting air valves for the cylinders on one bank. The master starting valve is built on the engine and can be operated both manually and electrically. All engines have built-on non-return valves and flame arresters.

8.2. Design of the external starting air system


The design of the starting air system is, in part, determined by the rules of the classification societies. The number of starts required by the classification societies is: American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Bureau Veritas (BV) Det Norske Veritas (DNV) Germanischer Lloyd (GL) Lloyds Register of Shipping (LRS) Maritime Register (MR) Registro Italiano Navale (RINA) 6 starts 6 6 6 6 6 6

Oil and water separator


An oil and water separator should always be installed in the pipe between the compressor and the air vessel. The starting air bottles are equipped with a manual valve for condensate drain. It is recommended to provide for a timer controlled automatic drain valve after the manual valve. The starting air pipes should always be drawn with slope and be arranged with manual or automatic draining at the lowest points.

Starting air compressor


It shall be possible to fill the starting air vessel from minimum to maximum pressure in 15 - 30 minutes. For exact determination of the capacity, the rules of the classification societies should be followed.

In multi-engine installations, the number of starts is dependent on the number of engines. To determine the required volume of the starting air vessel the following values can be used: Engine 6L32 8L32 9L32 12V32 16V32 18V32 A= B= A 30 30 30 30 30 30 B 10 10 10 10 10 10 C 0.7 0.9 0.9 1.0 1.2 1.3

10. Engine room ventilation and combustion air

10. Engine room ventilation and combustion air


General
To obtain good working conditions in the engine room and to ensure trouble free operation of all equipment attention shall be paid to the engine room ventilation and the supply of combustion air. The air intakes to the engine room must be so located that water spray, dust and exhaust gases cannot enter the ventilation ducts and the engine room. The dimensioning of blowers and extractors should ensure that an overpressure of about 5 mmWC is maintained in the engine room in all running conditions. For the minimum requirements concerning the engine room ventilation and more details, see applicable standards, such as ISO 8861. The heat emitted by the engine is listed in the Technical Data. The ventilation air is to be equally distributed in the engine room considering air flows from points of delivery towards the exits. This is usually done so that the funnel serves as an exit for the majority of the air. To avoid stagnant air, extractors can be used. It is good practice to provide areas with significant heat sources, such as separator rooms with their own air supply and extractors.

Combustion air
Usually, the air required for combustion is taken from the engine room through a filter fitted on the turbocharger. This reduces the risk for too low temperatures and contamination of the combustion air. It is imperative that the combustion air is free from sea water, dust, fumes, etc. The combustion air should be delivered through a dedicated duct close to the turbocharger(s), directed towards the turbocharger air intake(s). Also auxiliary engines shall be served by dedicated combustion air ducts. For the required amount of combustion air, see Technical Data. If necessary, the combustion air duct can be directly connected to the turbocharger with a flexible connection piece. To protect the turbocharger a filter must be built into the air duct. The permissible pressure drop in the duct is max. 100 mmWC. See also Cold operating conditions below.

Ventilation
The amount of air required for ventilation is calculated from the total heat emission to evacuate. To determine , all heat sources shall be considered, e.g.: Main and auxiliary diesel engines Exhaust gas piping Alternators Electric appliances and lighting Boilers Steam and condensate piping Tanks It is recommended to consider an outside air temperature of not less than 35C and a temperature rise of 11C for the ventilation air. The amount of air required for ventilation is then calculated from the formula:

Cold operating conditions


In installations intended for operation in cold air conditions restrictions for operation at low air temperature must be considered. This might require preheating of the combustion air and/or equipment to limit the cylinder pressures. To ensure starting, the min. inlet air temperature is min. 5C: For continuous idling, the min. inlet air temperature is min. -5C. The lowest permissible inlet air temperature at full load is -20C. Subzero inlet air temperatures require non-standard equipment on the engine.

11. Crankcase ventilation


The crankcase venting should be arranged separately for each engine. The vent pipe must be equipped with a condensate trap and drain. It is recommended to expand the crankcase air vent pipe by one pipe dimension 1 - 2 meters from the engine. The connection between the engine and the pipe is to be made flexible.

12. Exhaust gas system

12. Exhaust gas system


Exhaust gas system design
Each engine should have its own exhaust pipe. A flexible bellow has to be mounted directly to the transition piece at the turbocharger outlet, to compensate for thermal expansion and to protect the turbocharger from vibrations. It is imperative that the exhaust gas pipe is stayed with a fixed support immediately (and in any case within 1 m) after the flexible bellows of the turbocharger outlet as shown in drawing 4V76A1017 so that any thermal expansion of the pipe is directed away from the engine and its turbocharger. The exhaust gas piping should be as short and straight as possible. The bends should be made with the largest possible bending radius, minimum radius used should be 1.5 D. The exhaust pipe must be insulated all the way from the turbocharger up and the insulation protected by a metal plating or similar. Closest to the turbocharger the insulation should consist of a hook on padding to facilitate maintenance. It is paramount to prevent the insulation material from being drawn into the turbocharger. The exhaust pipes should be provided with a water separating pocket and drain. The maximum allowable exhaust gas back pressure is 300 mmWC at full load. Concerning exhaust gas quantities and temperatures, see Technical Data.

The noise attenuation of the standard silencer is either 25 or 35 dB(A).

Exhaust gas boiler


Each engine should have a separate exhaust gas boiler. Alternatively, a common boiler with separate gas sections for each engine is acceptable.

The exact structure of the system, i.e. the number of Distributed Control Units (DCU) and Sensor Multiplexer Units (SMU), depends on the cylinder configuration. All sensors on the engine are connected to the DCUs, SMUs, Relay Module or Local Control Panel (LCP), while the signals to and from the external system are connected to the Main Control Unit (MCU) and the Relay Module (RM). The engine parameters are shown on the Local Display Unit (LDU).

WECS comprises: Measuring of the engine and turbocharger speed Engine safety system - starting of the engine - stopping of the engine - start blocking - automatic shutdown of the engine - load reduction request Signal processing of all monitoring and alarm sensors Readout of important engine parameters on a graphical display Data communication with external systems (e.g. alarm and monitoring systems).

13.2. Power supply


It is recommended to install a separate power supply (24 V DC) to ensure that an external power failure will not disturb WECS. Three power supply lines shall be connected to WECS as shown in Fig 2. The main supply feeds the WECS units, while the backup supply only feeds stop related functions in the Relay Module. The auxiliary supply feeds auxiliary equipment on the engine (e.g. oil mist detector). Main and auxiliary supplies may be connected to the same power source. The maximum current need for main and backup supplies is 5 A, because in normal operation the safety backup supply is not loaded.

The backup supply is recommended to have a separate power supply. Both power supplies are recommended to be: galvanically isolated from other equipment in accordance with the classification societies requirements. fed from the UPS system of the ship Main and auxiliary supply: Backup supply: Max. ripple 24 V DC / 5 A (18 - 32 VDC) 24 V DC / 3 A (18 - 32 VDC) 500 mVp-p

13.3. Speed measuring


The engine speed is measured by two pick-ups and the turbocharger speed by one pick-up. One of the engine speed pick-ups is connected to a DCU. The speed calculation is carried out in the DCU software. The DCU to where the pick-up is connected will initiate a stop of the engine in case of overspeed. The second engine speed pick-up is connected to the Relay Module, which is located in the MCU cabinet of the engine. The module initiates a shutdown of the engine in case the overspeed is not detected by the first pick-up. Shutdown due to low lubricating oil pressure initiated by the Relay Module (backup) is suppressed by the second speed pick-up. The turbocharger speed pick-up is connected to a DCU or an SMU, depending on the structure of WECS. The speed calculation of the turbocharger is carried out in the DCU software.

The following hardwired signals are available from the speed measuring function: Engine running output, potential free contact (closed = running) Overspeed alarm switch output, potential free contact (closed = overspeed alarm) Engine speed output, 4 - 20 mA for engine speed 0 - 1000 RPM, max. load 50 Turbocharger speed output, 4 - 20 mA for turbocharger speed 0 - 30000 RPM, max. load 50 Engine speed pulse output, potential free opto connection, 0 - 400 Hz for engine speed 0 - 1000 RPM Speed switch 3 output, potential free opto connection (closed = speed over limit), (optional) Speed switch 4 output, potential free opto connection (closed = speed over limit), (optional)

13. Control and monitoring system

13.4. Safety system


The safety system is implemented in the software of the WECS. In addition, there are some redundant safety functions in the Relay Module. The safety system can be split into five major parts: starting, stopping, start blocking, shutdowns and load reduction requests.

Emergency start of the engine


Would the electrical system fail, the engine can be started by operating the master starting valve manually. Note that the start is mechanically blocked, if the stop lever on the engine is in STOP position, or pneumatically blocked, if the turning gear is engaged.

STARTING Normal start of the engine


The engine is started by opening the master starting valve. The solenoid valve controlling the master starting valve is activated by pressing the START button on the engine or remotely via the remote start input. Optionally the start sequence can also be initiated via the Modbus communication link. When starting, the diesel engine accelerates to a predeterminated speed set by the governor. Usually, the engine is accelerated to idling speed, but can also run up to rated speed. When an electrical start fuel limiter is built into the governor, it is engaged by WECS during the acceleration period to optimize the fuel demand. When starting manually, the acceleration can be controlled by the stop lever. Note! The start sequence may vary depending on the installation The engine will not start after a shutdown, before either local or remote reset button is pressed. The start sequence of the MCU is shown in Fig 3. The following hardwired signals are available to/from the starting function: Inputs remote start input, potential free contact required (start = closed) black-out start input, potential free contact required (start = closed) Outputs indication output: ready for start, potential free opto connection (ready = closed) indication output: start failure, potential free opto connection (failure = closed)

STOPPING
The engine is stopped by turning the stop lever to the stop position or by energizing two solenoid valves. One valve operates the pneumatic cylinders on the injection pumps cutting the fuel injection. The other valve acts on the speed governor. The solenoid valves are energized by pressing the STOP button on the engine or remotely via the remote stop input. Optionally the solenoid valves can also be activated via the Modbus communication link. When two engines are connected to a common reduction gear it is recommended that the clutches are blocked in the OUT position when the engine is not running. When an engine is stopped, the clutch should open to prevent the engine from being driven through the gear. At an overspeed shutdown signal the clutch should remain closed. The stop sequence of the MCU is shown in Fig 4. The following hardwired signals are available to/from the stopping function: Inputs remote stop input, potential free contact required (stop = closed) remote reset shutdown input, potential free contact required (reset = closed) external shutdown 1 input, potential free contact required (shutdown = closed) external shutdown 2 input, potential free contact required (shutdown = closed), (optional) shutdown override input, potential free contact required (override = closed) Outputs indication output: shutdown, potential free opto connection (shutdown = closed) engine stop/shutdown output, potential free contact (stop/shutdown = closed) run/stop output to the electronic speed governor (if used), potential free opto connection (closed = stop) Engine stop/shutdown output is always closed when the stop signal is active, while indication output shutdown only is closed when an automatic shutdown has occurred. Consequently indication output shutdown can be used to control the shutdown reset indicator lamp.

Blackout start of emergency genset


It is possible to configure a blackout start input. This means that the startblock checking is skipped. The blackout start command shall be given manually or by the external automation system. The blackout start is not possible, if prelubrication has been off for more than 5 minutes.

START BLOCKING
An engine start is blocked by the following conditions: low prelubricating oil pressure turning gear engaged stop lever in stop position local/remote switch in local position (blocks the remote start) local/remote switch in remote position (blocks the local start) external start blocking 1 input external start blocking 2 input, (optional) The following hardwired signals are available to/from the start blocking function: Inputs external start blocking 1 input, potential free contact required (start blocked = closed) external start blocking 2 input, potential free contact required (start blocked = closed), (optional) Outputs indication output: local control mode, potential free opto connection (local mode = closed) If a start blocking is active, it is not possible to start the engine. On the Modbus communication link an alarm is raised for each active start blocking. Start blockings are ignored in case of a blackout start.

Main engine shutdowns


The required safety shutdowns depend on the classification society and the type of installation. The following are usually compulsory: low lubricating oil pressure engine overspeed oil mist detection external shutdown input emergency stop input

Auxiliary engine shutdowns


The following are shutdown conditions on most installations: low lubricating oil pressure engine overspeed oil mist detection external shutdown input emergency stop input high cooling water temperature high main bearing temperature high cylinder liner temperature

Shutdown backup system


Some shutdown functions of the WECS are backed up in the Relay Module, which is an independent hardwired system. These functions are: low lubricating oil pressure overspeed trip optional shutdown switch Also the emergency stop button is connected to the Relay Module. The lubricating oil pressure shutdown is initiated by a dedicated pressure switch. The shutdown is suppressed at low engine speed and at stand-still. The Relay Module is using a separate speed sensor (proximity switch) for generating an overspeed trip. The trip level is set slightly higher than the level in the WECS configuration, and the function is latching.

SHUTDOWNS
An engine shutdown is carried out in the same way as a normal stop, i.e. by energizing two solenoid valves. The sensors used for shutdown are of analogue type, and the shutdown levels are defined in the WECS software. The shutdown is latching, and a shutdown reset has to be given before it is possible to re-start. Naturally, before this, the reason of the shutdown must be investigated. The reason of any shutdown will be indicated on the Modbus communication link to the external systems.

Marine Project Guide W32 - 1/1998

13. Control and monitoring system

LOAD REDUCTION Main engine load reductions


On main engines the following conditions will cause a load reduction request: high lubricating oil temperature low cooling water pressure high cooling water temperature high main bearing temperature high exhaust gas temperature high exhaust gas temperature deviation high cylinder liner temperature There is one hardwired signal from the load reduction function: load reduction request. It is a potential free opto connection and closes when load reduction is requested. The external control system or the power management system should reduce the load demand on the engine. If the load reduction is not made automatic, an alarm should be raised requesting the operator to manually reduce the load.

When the alarm condition is over, the following actions are taken: On the LDU the measured value is shown as normal text On the Modbus the alarm bit is set to value 0 Common engine alarm is deactivated, if there are no other active alarms The following hardwired signals are available from the alarm function: Common engine alarm, potential free opto connection (alarm = open) RM failure, potential free contact (alarm = open) WECS failure, potential free opto connection (alarm = open) Load switch, potential free opto connection (high load = closed) Note! WECS shall not be considered an alarm system. The Modbus link shall be connected to the ships alarm system, where latching and acknowledge of alarms shall be handled.

Auxiliary engine load reduction


There are no conditions that will cause load reduction request on auxiliary engines.

STANDBY PUMP OUTPUTS


In installations with standby pumps, the WECS system has an optional DMI4-card with four (4) standby pump start outputs available: HT-water LT-water Fuel oil Lubricating oil If pressure drops below a preset level, WECS activates the standby output. 24VDC is fed to the standby pump starter and the standby pump should be started. Also an alarm on the Modbus is given. When the pressure is raised to normal level by the standby pump, both the standby output and alarm from WECS is reset, thus meaning no latching of the output(s) is done in WECS. Latching must instead be done in the standby starter and alarm system respectively. The reason for the pressure drop should be investigated as soon as possible. Stop of the standby pump should ALWAYS be a manual operation. Before stopping the standby pump, the reason for the pressure drop must have been investigated and rectified. Due to classification requirements, the standby pump output and the Modbus alarm is triggered in case of a sensor failure.

ALARMS
The following settings can be configured for any measured data item Alarm limit Alarm condition Blocked at standstill Startup delay These settings are documented in the Modbus list of the engine. An alarm condition generates the following actions: On the LDU the measured value is shown inverted An alarm message is printed on the history page of the LDU On the Modbus the alarm bit is set to value 1 Common engine alarm is activated

13.5. Speed control


Main engine speed control
The engines are normally provided with mechanical/ hydraulic governors prepared for pneumatic or electric remote control. The standard type of governors used are: Regulateurs Europa 1104 Woodward PGA 58 Both governors are equipped with a shutdown solenoid and with either a pneumatic smoke limiter or with an electrical start fuel limiter. If an electronic speed governor is specified, a Woodward PG-EG type actuator or similar can be used. The idling speed is selected for each installation based on calculations, for CP-propeller installations at 60 - 70% of the nominal speed and for FP-propeller installations at about 40 - 50%. The standard control air pressure for pneumatically controlled governors is: p = 0.00857 * n - 1.43 p = control air pressure [bar] n = engine speed [RPM] Governors for engines in FP-propeller installations are provided with a smoke limiter function, which limits the fuel injection as a function of the charge air pressure. Governors for engines connected to a common reduction gear are specially adapted and adjusted for the same speed droop, normally 4%, to obtain basic load sharing. In addition, it is recommended to arrange external load sharing based on the fuel rack position transducer. Optionally, electronic speed controls with isochronous load sharing can be specified for engines connected to a common reduction gear. Governors are, as standard, equipped with a built-in delay of the speed change rate so that the time for speed acceleration from idle to rated speed and vice versa at speed decrease is 10...12 seconds.

Generating set speed control


Generator engines are usually provided with mechanical/ hydraulic governors for electric speed setting. The standard type of governors used are: Regulateurs Europa 1102 Woodward PGG 58 Both governors are equipped with speed setting motors for synchronizing, load sharing and frequency control. They are also equipped with a shutdown solenoid and an electrically controlled start fuel limiter. The synchronizing is operated by ON/OFF control as increase or decrease by polarity switching (PGG 58) or by activating two coils, one for incrementing and the other one for decrementing (Europa 1102). Normal speed change rate is about 0.3 Hz/s. Engines, which are to be run in parallel have governors specially adapted for the same speed droop, about 4%, to obtain basic load sharing. During load sharing and frequency control, the external load sharing system (PMS) must have a control deadband implemented, allowing for an uneven load or frequency drift of 1 - 2%. If electronic type speed governors are specified, Woodward PG-EG type actuators or similar can be used. Electronic governors are recommended for diesel-electric main engines.

13.6. Electric prelubricating pump


All diesel engines are equipped with an electric prelubricating pump. The pump is normally used in the following cases: For filling the lubricating oil system of the diesel engine before start, for example when the engine has not run for a long time. For continuous prelubricating of a stopped diesel engine, through which heavy fuel is circulating. For continuous prelubricating of a stopped diesel engine in a multi-engine installation always when one or more engines are in operation. The automatic starting and stopping of the prelubricating pump can be controlled by the prelubricating pump output with the switch point 250 rpm.

13.7. Preheating of cooling water


Preheating of the cooling water has to be arranged on engines which are in standby on heavy fuel and for all engines which are arranged for instant load application. Preheating is preferably controlled automatically. In an installation with several engines and a common preheater the circulating pump should start when one engine stops and stop when all engines are running. The function should be checked for each installation depending on the design of the cooling water system. Automatic starting and stopping of the circulating pump can be controlled by the engine running output with the switch point 250 rpm.

13.8. Monitoring and alarm sensors


WECS signal processing
In WECS the data acquisition is distributed. The sensors are connected to the distributed units - SMUs or DCUs - which are located close to groups of sensors. In the SMU the signal is measured, filtered, linearized and checked for errors and sent to a DCU over a serial link. The DCU does the same as the SMU for sensors connected directly to the DCU. In addition the DCU performs the validity, alarm, load reduction request and shutdown checks for both the signals from the SMUs and from DCU itself. Signals are then sent over a CAN link to the MCU. Only start and stop related switches are connected directly to the MCU. Backup sensors are connected to the Relay Module. Measured values are in analogue mode only from the sensor to the DCU/SMU. After that the values are in digital mode.

13. Control and monitoring system

Note! All sensors are connected to WECS and can only communicate with the remote alarm & monitoring system by means of the Modbus communication link. The only hardwired signals existing are those listed in the Safety system, see paragraph 13.4. Even if the above mentioned sensors are considered as standard the amount and type of sensors can vary, depending on the needs for various installations. The actual set of sensors and other electrical equipment mounted on the engine, as well as alarm set points, can be found in the installation specific instructions.

The load balance of the cylinders is shown as temperature deviation for each cylinder from the average temperature of all cylinders. In the lower part of the meter window the following pressures and temperatures are normally shown: Fuel oil pressure, inlet Lube oil pressure, inlet HT-water pressure, inlet LT-water pressure, inlet Charge air pressure, inlet Fuel oil temperature, inlet Lube oil temperature, inlet HT-water temperature, outlet LT-water temperature, inlet Charge air temperature, inlet The message window is the bottom part of the display area. The window shows the status of the engine.

13.9. Instrumentation
LOCAL DISPLAY UNIT
The Local Display Unit (LDU) replaces the traditional pressure gauge panel, the thermometers and other instruments. It is connected to the MCU, which sends the necessary data to the display. Three different pages can be displayed: the meter page the history page the status pages

The history page


The history page shows the latest events of the engine, e.g. engine being started, alarms, shutdowns, etc. In the case of alarm and shutdown the sensor codes and set point limits are also indicated.

Meter page
The meter page is divided into two different sub windows: the meter window and the message window. In the meter window the parameters are shown as graphical meter images with explanatory text and exact numerical value below the meter. Abnormal values are shown in inverted colours. Three important parameters of the engine are at the upper part of the meter window: the engine speed the load balance of the cylinders the fuel rack position

The status pages


There are always several status pages. The number of pages vary depending on the number of sensors in the WECS. One status page show either all connections to a specific SMU/DCU or values of logical sensor groups like for example main bearing temperatures.

BACKUP INSTRUMENTS
In addition to the LDU there are three backup instruments that are independent of the rest of the system. The three instruments are: engine speed, HT cooling water temperature and lubricating oil pressure.

13.10. Modbus communication link


The communication between the external system and the WECS is done via Modbus communication link. Modbus is a standard defined by Modicon primarily for use in industrial applications. Modbus is a binary data transfer protocol. In the WECS the Modbus serial link is used for getting measurement data and status information from the MCU to the external alarm & monitoring system. Optionally the Modbus communication link can be used for controlling the engine through the MCU (e.g. starting and stopping the engine). The MCU always functions as a slave in a Modbus network, i.e. the alarm & monitoring system is always the master. The physical connection is standard 4-wire RS485 with optical isolation at the MCU side.The used communication parameters are: baud rate 9600, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.

MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL


The WECS uses the transmission mode RTU and the following commands are in use at the moment: 02 Read Input Status offset 10000 1 = ON or ALARM 0 = OFF or NORMAL returns information about alarm, shutdown and load reduction packed into bit fields Read Input Registers offset 30000 returns sensors values as 2s complement two byte integers Force Single Coil offset 0 FF 00 hex = ON 00 00 hex = OFF sets database items in the MCU

External system

The WECS returns exception response in case of an illegal query. This kind of situation may occur if the master tries to use function that is not supported by the WECS. The exception response is formed according to instructions given in Appendix A of the Modicon Modbus Protocol Reference Guide. Note! The commands follow the Modicon Modbus Protocol Reference Guide, PI-MBUS-300 Rev. D, March 1992. A misprint on page 113 should be noticed. The reference guide states in section Placing the CRC into the Message that When the 16-bit CRC (2 8-bit bytes) is transmitted in the message, the low-order byte will be transmitted first, followed by the high-order byte. It should be the other way around, i.e. When the 16-bit CRC (2 8-bit bytes) is transmitted in the message, the high-order byte will be transmitted first, followed by the low-order byte. For example, if the CRC value is 1241 hex (0001 0010 0100 0001).

Packets in Modbus
Modbus packets are binary. The packets are recognized with delays in communications. All communication is initiated by a master, the slaved can send data only when requested. A 1.5 character delay means that the packet was interrupted and should be discarded by recipients. A 2.5 character delay means that the next character starts a new packet.

Data addressing and requests


Registers in a Modbus slave are addressed starting with 1 (e.g. 30001, 10001,110001,12001). In contrast the poll messages refer to registers beginning with 0 and without the tens thousands (e.g. 0, 0). Scaling is needed, because Modbus can transfer only integers. The value of the signal is scaled with the scaling factor. When reading this value in the alarm & monitoring system it must be re-scaled with 1/scaling factor, i.e. in the case of Fuel oil pressure with 0.1. Values in addresses beginning from 00001 can be set with command 05 (offset 0). Addresses beginning from 30001 contain analogue values of the signals. The analogue value is below -900, if the status of the measured value is not normal in the MCU database. The status may be abnormal for several reasons; sensor failure, update delayed more than 60 seconds or measured value out of range. Consequently error information is read from analogue address series for all sensors, including binary ON/OFF switches. Every signal of the engine has its own address in this series. All unused addresses are set to value 0. These addresses can be read with command 04 (offset 30000). The alarm/stop/load reduction information of the signal is represented in addresses beginning from 10001. This series is divided so that alarm values begin from 10001, stop values from 11001 and load reduction values from 12001. Binary and switch information is normally read only from these addresses, not from analogue address. The information in this series is of ON/OFF type. Alarm ON situation is indicated with value 1, whereas alarm OFF situation is indicated with value 0. The information can be read with command 02 (offset 10000). In multiple engine projects it is recommended to have a separate Modbus network for each engine. Normally, a Modbus master cannot poll all analog addresses on one query (Modbus Reference Guide recommends maximum 125 addresses per query). Therefore several queries are required for analog address series whereas alarm/stop/load reduction address series require one query per address series. The exact analog value is not normally as time critical as the alarm/stop/ load reduction information. Therefore binary addresses are sometimes polled more often than analog addresses.

Two examples of sequences are shown in the following: Sequence 1: 30001 ... 30125 10001 ... 10250 11001 ... 11250 12001 ... 12250 30126 ... 30250 10001 ... 10250 11001 ... 11250 12001 ... 12250 30001 ... 30125 ... The bus is 55 - 60% loaded when analog addresses are read once every 2 seconds and binary addresses once every second. Sequence 2: 30001 ... 30085 10001 ... 10250 11001 ... 11250 12001 ... 12250 30086 ... 30170 10001 ... 10250 11001 ... 11250 12001 ... 12250 30171 ... 30250 10001 ... 10250 11001 ... 11250 12001 ... 12250 30001 .. .30085 ... The bus is 55 - 60% loaded when analog addresses are read once every 2.5 seconds and binary addresses once every 0.83 second. Update rate of analog blocks may also vary. In the sequence 2, the update frequency is lower for analog addresses and higher for binary addresses than in the sequence 1. Messages are also shorter in sequence 2, which is good in case of failed transmission. The purpose of this example is to show that in every project the correct update rate must be carefully investigated for all data blocks. This is the only way to guarantee safe and optimized communication. More detailed information about addresses and alarm/ stop/load reduction limits is represented in installation specific instructions.

14.1. General
Main engines are usually rigidly mounted to the foundation, either on steel or resin chocks. Diesel generator sets are flexibly mounted on rubber elements. Also main engines can be flexibly mounted, if required. The foundation should be stiff in all directions to absorb the dynamic forces caused by the engine. Especially the foundation of the propeller thrust bearing (the reduction gear) should be dimensioned and designed so that harmful deformations are avoided. Dynamic forces caused by the engine appear from the table.

14.2. Rigid mounting


Installation of main engines
Holes for holding down bolts must be drilled through the seating top plate. The holes for the bolts shall have a diameter, 44, except those holes which are to be reamed and equipped with fitted bolts. The holes can be drilled through the holes in the engine feet. The mounting bolts are through-bolts with a lock nut at the lower end and a hydraulically tightened nut at the upper end. One fitted bolt is used on each side of the engine closest to the flywheel. All other bolts are clearance bolts. The bolts are tightened with the hydraulic tools supplied with the engine. The necessary hydraulic pressure is calculated from: phyd = Fbolt / (Apiston [N/mm] x C) The hydraulic tool has an effective piston area Apiston = 7130 mm C= Coefficient considering the setting of the bolt connection when the load is transferred from the hydraulic tool to the nut. For relatively short bolts, such as the engine holding down bolts, C = 0.85 should be used.

The design of the clearance and the fitted bolts is shown in drawings 1V69A0144 and 1V69A0145. The bolts are designed as tensile bolts, with a reduced diameter, 35, to ensure a sufficient elongation and thus avoid loosening. The bolts are dimensioned so that a sufficient elongation is achieved if using St 52-3 and tightening the bolts to 80% of the yield point. It is however recommended to use 34CrNiMo6V (or similar) which will result in a better elongation already when tightened to 60% of the yield point. In order to assure proper fastening and avoid bending stress in the bolts, the contact faces of the nuts shall be spotfaced. Oil pressure to be used for the hydraulic tool: 34CrNiMo6V Tightened to 60% of yield point bolt = 60% x 785 N/mm = 471 N/mm Fbolt = 471 N/mm x Phyd = St 52-3

bolt = 80% x 335 N/mm = 268 N/mm Fbolt = 268 N/mm x Phyd =

352 = 257846 N 4

Side supports must be installed for all engines. On six, eight, twelve and sixteen cylinder engines, two supports on each side of the engine are used and on nine and eighteen cylinder engines three on each side. If resin chocks are used, an additional side support shall be fitted on each side closest to the flywheel. The side supports are to be welded to the seating top plate before aligning the engine and fitting the chocks. An acceptable bearing surface must be obtained on the wedges of the side supports.

257846 N = 425 bar 7130 mm2 x 0.85

Fitting on resin chocks


Installation of main engines on resin chocks is permitted provided that the requirements of the classification societies are fulfilled. The principal dimensions of the chocks are 400 x150 mm. During normal operating conditions, the supporting surface of the engine feet has a maximum temperature of about 75C, which should be considered when selecting type of resin. Due to the lower permissible surface pressure of the resin chocks, the tightening force of the mounting bolts is lower than with steel chocks. The bolts are made as tensile bolts, with a reduced diameter, to ensure sufficient elongation and thus avoid loosening. The design of the clearance and the fitted bolts is shown in drawings 1V69A0140 and 1V69A0146. The bolt diameter shall be 30. Assuming a permissible surface pressure of 3.5 N/mm the oil pressure to be used for the hydraulic tool is: 34CrNiMo6V phyd = 285 bar St 52-3 phyd = 285 bar In order to assure proper fastening and avoid bending stress in the bolts, the contact faces of the nuts shall be spotfaced.

Fitting on steel chocks


The seating top plate is usually inclined outwards with regard to the centre line of the engine. The inclination of the supporting surface should be 1:100. Otherwise, the seating top plate should be designed so that the wedgetype chocks can easily be fitted into their position. The size of the chocks should be 250 x 150 mm and they should have an inclination of 1:100. The chocks are preferably made of steel but also cast iron chocks are permitted. When fitting the chocks, the supporting surface of the seating top plate should be machined so that a good bearing surface on both sides of at least 70% is obtained. The cut out in the chock shall be 44 mm (M42 bolts) for all chocks, except those, which are to be reamed and equipped with fitted bolts.

14.3. Flexible mounting of generating sets


Generating sets, consisting of engine and generator mounted on a common base plate, are usually installed on resilient mounts on the foundation in the ship. The resilient mounts reduce the structure borne noise transmitted to the ship and also serve to protect the generating set bearings from possible fretting caused by hull vibration. The number of mounts and their location is calculated to avoid resonance with excitations from the generating set engine, the main engine and the propeller. It is therefore important that the shipyard already at the design stage advises main engine speed, number of cylinders, propeller speed and number of propeller blades. The selected number of mounts and their position will be shown in the generating set dimensional drawing.

Normally, conical rubber mounts are used; in special cases also other types of mounts can be considered. The rubber element in the mounts is designed to withstand both compression and shear loads. In addition, the mounts have built-in buffers to limit the movements of the generating set due to the sea state. The mounts are made of natural rubber and care must be taken that the mounts will not come in contact with oil, oily water or fuel. The compression of all mounts must be equal when the generating set is installed and aligned on the ships foundation. The maximum permissible variation in compression is 2.0 mm when using conical mounts. Adjustments in height are made using steel chocks. If shims are used, the minimum thickness of a shim is 0.5 mm and only one shim per mount is permitted. The transmission of forces emitted by the engine is 10 20% when using conical mounts. For the foundation design, see drawing 3V46L0295 (in-line engines) and 3V46L0294 (V-engines).

14.4. Flexible pipe connections


When the generating set is installed on flexible mounts, all connections to the set must be flexible and no grating nor ladder may be fixed to it. Generator cables must be flexible and led in such a way that they allow the normal movements of the set. When installing the flexible pipe connections, all bending and stretching of the connections must be avoided.

The external pipe must be precisely aligned to the fitting or the flange of the engine. Observe that the pipe clamp for the pipe outside the flexible connection must be very rigid and welded to the steel structure of the foundation to prevent vibrations, which could damage the flexible connections. Most problems with bursting of the flexible connection originate from poor clamping. See drawing 4V60L0796 showing how pipes shall be clamped.

15. Dynamic characteristics

15.3. Airborne noise


The airborne noise of the engines is measured as a sound power level according to ISO 9614-2. The results are presented with A-weighting in octave bands, reference level 1 pW. Two values are given, a minimum value and a 90%-value. The minimum value is the smallest sound power level found in the measurements. The 90% level is such that 90% of all measured values are below this figure.

16. Power transmission


16.1. Connection to driven equipment
Power transmission from propulsion engines is accomplished through a flexible coupling. Alternatively, a combined flexible coupling and clutch mounted on the flywheel are used. The crankshaft is equipped with an additional shield bearing at the flywheel end. Therefore, also a rather heavy coupling can be mounted on the flywheel without intermediate bearings. Generating set engines with more than six cylinders must have a flexible coupling between the engine and the alternator. This means that the generator must be of 2-bearing type. With six cylinder engines a single bearing alternator with flange connection to the flywheel is preferred. On in-line engines full output is also available at the free end of the engine. On V-engines the output available must be verified according to the torsional vibration calculations. The power take off at the free end with the intermediate shaft is shown in 4V62L0583. A flexible coupling is usually required. To determine the vibration damper of the engine, the flywheel dimensions and the type of flexible couplings, exact data of all components included in the shaft system are required. This data is listed in chapter 16.2. The mass-moments of inertia of the propulsion engines (including flywheel) are typically as follows: Engine 6L32 8L32 9L32 12V32 16V32 18V32 J [kg m] 260 - 520 420 - 660 520 - 610 530 - 710 550 - 730 570 - 750
