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.

Engine
The system oil should be of viscosity class SAE 40 (ISO
VG 150). Oils of viscosity class SAE 30 (ISO VG 100)
may also be used. The content of additives should meet
the requirement of MIL-L-2104C or API Service CD.
The alkalinity, TBN, of the system oil should be 25 - 40
mg/KOH/g]; higher at higher sulphur content of the fuel.
During the warranty period, lubricating oil of an approved
type has to be used.

Turbocharger
For ABB turbochargers with roller bearings a turbine oil
must be used. The oil may be a mineral oil or a synthetic
oil having a viscosity of 30 - 55 cSt/50C.
Other makes of turbochargers and turbochargers with
sleeve bearings are lubricated from the main lubricating
oil circuit of the engine.

For auxiliary engines the permissible overload is 10% for


one hour every twelve hours. The maximum fuel rack position is mechanically limited to 110% 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, if necessary.
The cylinder output P can be calculated as follows:

P (kW) = pe (bar) x n (RPM) x 0.0235


P (hp) = pe (bar) x n (RPM) x 0.0319
where
P = output per cylinder
pe = mean effective pressure
n = engine speed

The maximum fuel rack position is mechanically limited


to 100%.

Marine Project Guide WV32 - 2/1997

1. General data and outputs

total barometric pressure 1.0 bar

1.5. Reference conditions


The maximum continuous output is available at a max.
charge air coolant temperature of 38C, a max. air temperature of 45C and a max. exhaust gas back pressure
of 300 mmWC. If the actual figures exceed these, the engine should be derated.
The fuel consumption indicated in Technical Data is valid
in reference conditions according to ISO 3046/1-1986,
i.e.:

air temperature

25C

relative humidity

30%

charge air coolant temperature 25C


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.

2. Operational 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
speed can be utilized. The propeller is usually optimized
for service speed and draft at about 85% engine MCR
and a sea margin of 10 - 15%. Shaft generators must be
considered when dimensioning propellers, if the generator will be used at sea.

The graph 4V93L0383 shows the operating range for a


CP-propeller installation. The recommended combinator
curve and the 100% load curve are valid for a singleengine installation. For twin-engine installations a lighter
combinator program is used if 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.

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 necessary.

2. Operational data

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.
Wind and sea state will increase the resistance of the
ship
Increased draught and trim due to different load conditions will increase the resistance of the ship.
Bollard pull requires higher torque than free running.
Propellers rotating in ice require higher torque.
The FP-propeller shall be designed to absorb 85% or the
maximum continuous output of the engine at nominal
speed when the ship is on trial, at specified speed and
load.

Operating range, Wrtsil Vasa 32D + LN D, FPpropeller (4V93L0384c)

10

In ships intended for towing, the propeller can be designed for 95% of the maximum continuous output of the
engine at nominal speed in bollard pull or at towing
speed. The absorbed power at free running and nominal
speed in usually then relatively low, 55 - 75% of the output at bollard pull.
In ships intended for operation in heavy ice, the additional torque of the ice shall be considered.
The graph 4V93L0423 shows the permissible operating
range for an FP-propeller installation as well as the recommended design point at 85% MCR 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 manoeuvering (crash-stop).

2.2. Loading capacity for generating sets


Provided that the engine is preheated so that the min.
cooling water temperature is 70C, the engine can be
loaded immediately after start with no restrictions except
the maximum transient frequency deviation specified by
the classification societies. For supercharged engines,
100% load cannot be instantly applied due to the air deficit until the turbocharger has accelerated. At instant loading the speed and the frequency drop.
The engine can be loaded most quickly by a successive,
gradual increase in load from 0 to 100% over a certain
time (t1) as shown in the following diagrams. Loading in
two steps, with a load application in the first step by highest possible load (= max. permissible instant frequency
drop) will take the longest time to achieve table frequency. Therefore, it is recommended that the switchboards and the power management are designed to
increase the load in three or four steps, from 0 to 100%,
as also suggested by the International Association of
Classification Societies (IACS). This shall be done with
the agreement of the relevant classification society.

The stated values of loading performance as presented


in 1V93F0093 are guidance values; the values will also
be affected by the mass-moment of inertia of the set, the
governor adjustment and nominal output.
Unless otherwise agreed the present requirements of
the classification societies for load application on generating sets at an instant speed drop of 10% are:

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 if the engine is to be loaded after the
idling.

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.

Operation at higher than 20% load


No restrictions.

4. Description of the engine


4.1. Wrtsil Vasa 32 D & E
Engine block
The engine block, made of Meehanite cast iron (GD-J), is
cast in one piece for all cylinder numbers. It incorporates
the jacket water manifold, the camshaft bearing housings 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 thourgh this jack. A combined flywheel/thrust bearing is 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. The wet oil
sump comprises, in addition to a suction pipe to the lube
oil pump, also the main distributing pipe for lube oil as
well as suction pipes and a return connection for the
separator. The dry sump is drained at either end (free
choice) to a separate system oil tank.
The holding down bolts are hydraulically tightened in order to facilitate the engine installation.

Crankshaft
The crankshaft is forged in one piece. The connecting
rods, at the same crank in the V-engines, are arranged
side-by-side in order to achieve as vast standardization
as possible of the in-line and V-engine details. For the
same reason the diameters of the crank pins and journals are equal irrespective of the cylinder number.

42

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. Full output can be taken off at the free end.

Connecting rod
The connecting rods are forged and machined of alloy
steel. The big end is split diagonally to allow removal of
piston and connecting rod parts. Two connecting rod
bolts are hydraulically tightened by means of the same
tool which is used for the side screws of the main bearing
cap and the holding down bolts of the engine. The gudgeon pin bearing is of the same tri-metal design as the big
end bearing. Oil is led to the gudgeon pin bearing and
piston through a bore in the connecting rod.

Main bearings and big end bearings


The main bearings and big end bearings are either of trimetal 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 top 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 three chromium-plated
compression rings and one spring-loaded oil scraper
ring with chromium-plated edges.

4. Description of the engine

Cylinder head

Injection equipment

The cylinder head is made of grey cast iron. The flame


plate is relatively thin and is cooled efficiently with cooling
water.

The injection pumps are one-cylinder pumps with built-in


tappets. The delivery commencement is carefully adjusted by the manufacturer; the tolerances of the engine
block and the camshaft are eliminated by a plate, calibrated by the engine manufacturer. Therefore, it is possible to change an injection pump without readjusting the
start of delivery. The injection pumps are of the flowthrough type for heavy fuel operation.

The mechanical load is absorbed by a strong intermediate deck which together with the upper deck and the side
walls forms a box section.
The cylinder head is mounted on the engine block with
four hydraulically tensioned cylinder head studs. The exhaust valve seats are directly water cooled.

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 with flange connections. This solution allows sideways removal of the
camshaft pieces. The bearing housings are intergrated
in the engine block casting. The camshaft bearings are
installed and removed with a hydraulic tool. The chamshaft covers, one for each cylinder, seal against the engine block with a closed sealing profile.

The injection valve is centrally located in the cylinder


head and the fuel supply is through a high pressure connection screwed into the nozzle holder. The injection
pipe between the injection pump and the high pressure
connection has a double wall design.

Exhaust pipes
The exhaust pipes are of nodular cast iron. The connections are of the clamp ring type. The complete exhaust
system is enclosed in an insulating box consisting of easily removable plates supported by a pipe frame. Mineral
wool is the insulating material.

The valve tappets are of the piston type with a certain selfadjustment 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 engine description in 4.1. is also valid for the Wrtsil Vasa 32 Low NOX versions with the following exceptions:

Camshaft drive

Connecting rod

The camshafts are driven by the cranskshaft through a


gear train. The driving gearwheel is fixed to the crankshaft by flange connections.

The connecting rod is of a three-piece design, which


gives a minimum dismantling height and enables the piston to be dismounted without opening the big end bearing.

Turbocharging and charge air cooling


In-line engines have one turbocharger and V-engines
have one charger per cylinder bank. The turbocharger(s)
can be placed either at the driving end or at 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 air coolers are of the insert
type and fitted into a housing. The inserts are easy to remove for cleaning of the air side, and the water side is accessible by removing the end of the cooler insert.

Marine Project Guide WV32 - 2/1997

4.2. Wrtsil Vasa 32 D & E Low NO:

The connecting rod is of forged alloy steel and machined


with round sections. All connecting rod studs are hydraulically tightened. The gudgeon pin bearing is of tri-metal
type.

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

5. Fuel system

5. Fuel system
5.1. General
The engine is designed for continuous heavy fuel operation. It is, however, possible to operate the engine also on
diesel fuel without any alterations.
The engine can be started and stopped on heavy fuel
provided that the engine and fuel system are preheated
to operating temperature.

5.2. Internal fuel system on the engine


Depending on the engine and type of application the fuel
system built on the engine can vary somewhat in design.

and therefore the recommendations for the design of the


separators should be closely followed.
In multi-engine installations, the following main principles should be followed when dimensioning the fuel system:
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 so that one from
each shaft is fed from the same circuit.

Usually the following equipment is built on the engine:

Main and auxiliary engines are recommended to be


connected to separate circuits.

heavy fuel injection pumps

Tank heating

injection valves

In ships intended for operation on heavy fuel, steam or


thermal oil, heating coils must be installed in the bunker
tanks. In cargo vessels, fuel heating is usually one of the
most important items to consider when evaluating the
heating requirements.

fine filter of duplex type with replaceable paper cartridges (not on V-engines)
electrically driven fuel feed pump with safety valve and
pump by-pass line with non-return valve (not on Vengines)
pressure control valve in the outlet pipe
For single engine installations the electrically driven fuel
feed pump is normally omitted.
Leak fuel from the nozzles is drained to atmospheric
pressure (the clean leak fuel system). Clean leak fuel can
be pumped back to the day tanks without treatment. Concerning quantity of leak fuel, see Technical data. Possible leak fuel from broken injection pipes or fuel spilled out
in the hotbox (the dirty leak fuel system) is drained
through a separate system and shall be led to a sludge
tank.

5.3. Design of the external fuel system


General
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 fuel feed system. For the feed system,
well-proven components should be used.
The fuel treatment system should comprise a settling
tank and separators to supply the engine(s) with sufficiently clean fuel. When operating on heavy fuel the dimensioning of the separators is of greatest importance

44

All heat consumers should be considered:


bunker tanks
day and settling tanks
trace heating
fuel separators
fuel booster modules
The heating requirement of tanks is calculated from the
maximum heat losses from the tank and from the requirement of raising the temperature by typically 1C/h.
The heat loss can be assumed to the 15 W/mC between tanks and shell plating against the sea and 3
W/mC between tanks and cofferdams. The heat capacity of fuel oil can be taken as 2 kJ/kgC.
For pumping, the temperature of fuel storage tanks must
always be maintained 5 - 10C above the pour point typically at 35 - 40C. The heating coils can be designed
for a temperature of 50C.
The day amd settling tank temperatures are usually in
the range 50 - 70C. A typical heating capacity is 12 kW
each.
Trace heating of insulated fuel pipes requires about
1.5 W/mC. The area to be used is the total external
area of the fuel pipe.
Fuel separators require typically 7 kW/installed engine
MW and booster units 30 kW/installed engine MW. See
also formulas presented later in this chapter.

5. Fuel system

FUEL TRANSFER AND SEPARATING SYSTEM

Suction strainer, separator feed pump

Heavy fuel (residual, and mixtures of residual and distillate) must be cleaned 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. Marine Gas
Oil viscosity is normally less than 12 cSt/15C.

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.

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.

SEPARATING SYSTEM COMPONENTS


Day tank, heavy fuel
See Feed system

Settling tank, heavy fuel


The settling tank is usually 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.

46

fineness 0.5 mm

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.

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:

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.

General

a pneumatic emergency pump

In-line Vasa 32 engines are usually provided with a builton electrically driven fuel feed pump. For V-engines a
pump should be installed in the external system for each
engine.
For heavy fuel operation a pressurized fuel feed system
should 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
below 115 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 should be properly insulated and
equipped with trace heating if the viscosity of the fuel is
180 cSt/50C or higher. It should be possible to shut off
the heating of the pipes, when running on MDO.

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 the duplex type with
changeover valves or have two simplex strainers in parallel. The design should prevent air suction.

5. Fuel system

Heater
The heater(s) is dimensioned to maintain an injection viscosity of 14 cSt (for fuels with 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 fuel cracking 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.
A thermostat control may be fitted as a reserve. 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.

The required minimum capacity of the heater is:

m=

m [l / h]

the engines

If a mesh size finer than 25 m is specified, the automatic

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.

For the control of the heater(s) a viscosimeter has to be


installed. A thermostatic control must be fitted, for safety
purposes in the event the viscosimeter is out of order.
The viscosimeter design must withstand the pressure
peaks caused by the injection pumps of the diesel engine.

The pump used should be protected by a suction


strainer. The recommended flushing time is a minimum
of 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 cleaned carefully at
regular intervals.

6.1. Internal lubricating oil system

On auxiliary engines a wet sump is used.

Dependent on the type of engine and application the lubricating oil system built on the engine can vary somewhat in design. The normal system for the 32 in-line
engine is a circulating system, including main and prelubricating oil pump, oil cooler, thermostatic valve and fine
filters built on the engine.

In main engines designed for heavy fuel operation, dry


sump is standard. On all 32 V-engines only the lubricating oil pump and the sump are built on the engine while
other components are separate.

6. Lubricating oil system

6.2. Design of the external lubricating oil


system
Each engine should have a lubricating oil system of its
own.

Lubricating oil pump


The direct driven lubricating oil pump is of the gear type,
for four and six cylinder engines of the two-wheel type
and for the other cylinder numbers of the three-wheel
type. The pump is dimensioned to provide sufficient flow
even at low speeds and is equipped with an overflow
valve which is controlled from the oil pressure in the inlet
pipe.
If necessary, the engine is provided with pipe connections for a separate, motor driven stand-by pump. Concerning flow rates and pressure, see Technical Data.
The suction height of the pump should not exceed 5 m.

Prelubricating pump
The prelubricating pump is a motor driven screw pump
equipped with a safety valve. The pump is used for:
Filling of the diesel engine lubricating oil system before
starting e.g. when the engine has been out of operation
for a long time
Continuous prelubrication of a stopped diesel engine
through which heavy fuel is circulating
Continuous prelubrication of stopped diesel engine(s)
in a multi-engine installation always when one of the
engines in running
Providing additional capacity to the direct driven lubricating oil pump in installations where the diesel engine
speed drops below a certain value. In these cases, the
pump should start and stop automatically on signals
from the speed measuring system.

Lubricating pump, stand-by


The stand-by lubricating oil pump can be of gear or screw
type and should be provided with a pressure control
valve.
Design data:
Capacity

see Technical Data

Operating pressure

max. 8 bar

Operating temperature

max. 100C

Separator
The separator should be dimensioned for continuous
centrifuging. 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.
Three auxiliary engines can have a common separator.
Installations with more than three auxiliary engines
should have two separators. The separators should preferably be of a type with controlled discharge of the bowl
to minimize the lubricating oil losses.

Data

In V-engines which have no built-on prelubricating oil


pump, the prelubrication should be arranged by means
of an external pump or the stand-by pump operating at
reduced speed.

The following rule, based on the above data and a separation time of 23 h/day, can be used for estimating the
nominal capacity of the separator:

Concerning flows and pressure, see Technical Data. The


suction height of the built-on prelubricating pump should
not exceed 3.5 m.

The 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 the engine is not operating, the heater should be dimensioned large enough to allow centrifuging at the
optimal rate of the separator without a heat supply from
the diesel engine.

Lubricating oil storage tank


In engines with a wet sump system, the lubricating oil can
be filled into the engine through the filling hole in the
crankcase cover, with a hand oil can, or through the
separator pipe. The system should allow measurement
of the filled oil volume.

Valve system
In auxiliary engines with wet sump operation and a common separator, 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. The valves in the outside
pipes have to be closed and opened when the oil is centrifuged.

6. Lubricating oil system

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 strained should always be provided with alarm for high differential pressure.
Fineness

0.5 - 1.0 mm

System oil tank (separate)


The engine dry sump has two drain outlets at each end.
On V-engines both outlets should 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 to 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.

Lubricating oil fine filter


The lubricating oil fine filter is a filter with replaceable cartridges of paper, in 4R32 one duplex filter, in other in-line
engines two duplex filters connected in parallel and in Vengines a filter with three or four chambers. The filters
are dimensioned for an operating time of about 1000 h

6.3. Flushing instructions


Before start up of the diesel engine(s) the external lubricating oil piping leading to and from the engine(s) must
be flushed in order to remove any foreign particles, such
as welding slag.
If an electric motor driven main or stand-by pump is installed, it should be used for the flushing. In case only an
engine driven main pump is installed, the ideal is to use a
temporary pump of equal capacity as the main pump.
Would this not be possible the flushing has to be performed using the prelubricating pump.
The circuit is to be flushed drawing the oil from the sump
tank pumping it through a flushing oil filter with a mesh
size of 34 microns or finer and returning the oil through a
hose and the crankcase door to the engine sump.
The flushing pump should be protected by a suction
strainer. It is recommended to by-pass particularly plate
type lubricating oil coolers. This can be done by removing the elements from the thermostatic valve and blinding
off the cooler, provided the valve is fitted close to the
cooler.

64

Automatic lubricating oil filters, if installed, must be bypassed during the first hours of flushing. If the cartridges
of the normal safety or fine filter are used for flushing,
these must be replaced before starting up the engine(s).
The flushing is more effective if the lubricating oil is
heated and the lubricating oil separators should be in operation prior to and during the flushing.
The minimum recommended flushing time is 24 hours.
During this time the welds in the lubricating oil piping
should be gently knocked at with a hammer to release
slag and the flushing filter inspected and cleaned at regular intervals.
For the flushing either a separate flushing oil or the approved engine oil can be used. If an approved engine oil
is used it can be maintained provided that it is separated
4 - 5 times over after the flushing has been terminated
and the filter inserts remain clean from any visible contamination.

7. Cooling water system


7.1. General
Fresh water cools the cylinder, turbocharger charge air
and oil. The pH-value and hardness of the cooling water
should be within normal values. The chlorine and sulphate contents should be as low as possible. To prevent
rust forming in the cooling water system, an approved
corrosion inhibitor must be added to the system according to the instruction manual. The cooling water pipes of
the engine are made of carbon steel. To allow starting on
heavy fuel, the cooling water system shall be preheated
to a temperature as near the operating temperature as
possible, or min. 70C. Engines in which the full load is
applied immediately after starting should also be preheated.

7.2. Internal cooling water system


The proper combustion of heavy fuel at all loads requires
optimum process temperatures. At high loads, the temperature must be low enough to limit thermal load and
prevent hot corrosion of the components in the combustion chamber. At low loads, the temperature must be high
enough to ensure complete combustion and prevent cold
corrosion in the combustion space. This means that the
process temperature must be raised at low load. This is
achieved by using the waste heat of the lube oil to heat
the charge air and by recirculating the jacket cooling water. The cooling water system comprises a lowtemperature (LT) circuit and a high-temperature (HT) circuit. The LT-circuit includes the charge air and lube oil
coolers, while the HT-circuit includes the cylinders and
turbocharger.

Marine Project Guide WV32 - 2/1997

Usually, the outlet temperature of each circuit is controlled by a thermostatic valve. The LT-circuit thermostatic valve has two set points, one for the low load range
and one for the high load range. The set point is automatically changed when the load changes between low
and high, i.e. at about 35% load. Thus the LT-system is
provided with a load dependent temperature control.
The HT-circuit thermostatic valve has only one set point.
Control of the inlet temperature is also acceptable and in
such cases a common thermostatic valve and circulating
pump for several engines can be used. The LT-circuit
must have individual pumps for each engine. The LTand HT-pumps can be either engine-mounted (engine
driven) or separate, electric motor driven.
Engines running on diesel oil only do not need a cooling
system with load dependent temperature control. A normal central cooling system is acceptable. However, the
low temperature circuit must be provided with an automatic temperature control to maintain an inlet temperature of at least 25C to the charge air cooler.

The pipe dimensions in the cooling water system should
be based on the following maximum water velocities:
Fresh water, pressure pipe

3.0 m/s

Fresh water, suction pipe

2.5 m/s

Sea water, pressure pipe

2.5 m/s

Capacity

see Technical Data.

Stand-by circulating water pumps, LT- and HTcircuit

Especially the sea water suction pipes should be designed and installed to minimize the flow resistance as
much as possible.

Cooling water system with load dependent


temperature control

The pumps should normally be of the centrifugal type


and driven by an electric motor. 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 fresh water pipes should also 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 used for the cooler.

Circulating pump, direct driven, LT and HT circuit


The direct driven cooling water pump is of the centrifugal
type and is driven by the engine crankshaft through gear
transmission. On request, outlet and inlet connections
for a separate stand-by pump can be provided as well as
a shut-off valve on the suction side of the built-on pump.

The sea water pumps have to be electrically driven. The


capacity of the pumps are determined by the type of coolers used and the heat to be dissipated.

Charge air cooler


The charge air cooler built on the engine - one for the inline and two for the V-engine is of the insert type with removable cooler inserts.

The thermostatic valve for the LT-circuit is arranged to
control the outlet temperature of the water and is of the
direct acting type. The valve has two different built-in
temperature sensing elements, one for normal high load
operation and one for low load operation. The selection
of element in operation is done automatically according
to the charge air pressure. Set point of the LT- thermostatic valve: 35C/65C.

The set point of the HT-thermostatic valve is 91C. The


HT-thermostatic valve may also be installed to control
the inlet temperature of several engines. In such a case,
the set point shall be 85C.

Expansion tank
The expansion tank should compensate for volume
changes in the cooling water system, serve as venting
arrangement and provide sufficient static pressure on
the cooling water.

The tank should be equipped so that it is possible to dose


water treatment agents. The vent pipe of each engine
should be drawn 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).

Thermostatic valve, HT circuit

Drain tank

The thermostatic valve for the HT-circuit is normally arranged to control the outlet temperature of the water. It is
also of the direct acting type, but has only one set point,
independent of load.

It is recommended to provide a drain tank to which the


engines and coolers can be drained for maintenance so
that the water and cooling water treatment can be collected and reused. For the water volume in the engine,
see Technical Data (HT-circuit).

7. Cooling water system

Preheating pump
Engines which are started on heavy fuel require preheating of the HT cooling water. Stand-by auxiliary engines
should have preheated cooling water, also if started on
MDF.

The set point of this valve should be 85C. To maximize


the FW production, installation of a circulating pump for
maintaining a constant flow of the HT-water through the
FW generator, regardless of the engine load, is recommended.

2-stage charge air cooling

Design data of the pump:


Capacity

0.4 m/h x cyl.

Pressure

about 0.8 bar

Preheater
The energy required for heating of the HT-cooling water
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, it is recommended that the energy is transmitted
through heat exchangers. When preheating, the cooling
water temperature of the engines should be kept as near
the operating value as possible.

In installations where the need for fresh water production


or other heat recovery is great, the engines can be
equipped with a 2-stage air cooler. This means that HTwater flows through the HT-section of the charge air
cooler. In this way the available waste heat in the high
load range is considerably increased as shown in the
graph.

Available heat in HT-circuit at 375 kW/cylinder,


750 RPM (4V93E0065)

Design data:
Preheating temperature

min. 70C

Required heating power

about 3 kW/cyl

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 two or more 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.

Waste heat recovery

It should be noted that typically about 10% of the heat


dissipated to the HT-circuit will be lost through the expansion tank and leaks at the thermostatic valves.

The waste heat of the HT-circuit may be used for example in fresh water production or central heating. In such
cases, the HT thermostatic valve will prevent undercooling of the engine. Normally an additional thermostatic
valve must also be installed after the heat recovery
equipment for by-passing of the central cooler, to avoid
unnecessary cooling and heat loss through the central
cooler.

7. Cooling water system

7.4. Conventional cooling water system

Expansion tank

For engines specified for solely burning Marine Diesel


Fuel or intermediate fuel with a maximum viscosity of
30 cSt/50C, the load dependent cooling water system
can be omitted. A conventional central cooling system is
recommended. The following paragraph applies to the
planning of the external system for these engines.

The expansion tank should compensate for volume


changes in the cooling water system, serve as a venting
arrangement and provide sufficient static pressure on
the suction side of the pumps.

Fresh water central cooler


The fresh water cooler can be of either tube or plate type.
Due to the smaller dimensions of the plate cooler, this
system is normally used. The fresh water cooler can be
common for several engines, or there can be one independent cooler per engine.
Design data:
Fresh water flow

see Technical Data

Pressure drop on fresh


water side

max. 0.6 bar

If the flow resistance in the external pipes is high, it


should be taken into account when designing the
cooler.
Sea water flow
manu-

according to cooler
facturer, normally 1.2 1.5 x water flow

Pressure drop on seawater side

normally 0.8 - 1.4 bar

Fresh water temperature

engine)
max. 38C
Heat to be dissipated

see Technical Data

Safety margin to be
added

15% + margin for fouling

Thermostatic valve, jacket water


The jacket water thermostatic valve delivered with the
engine is normally of the direct acting type. The valve is
usually installed to maintain a constant water outlet temperature. The set point is 91C. A common thermostatic
valve for several engines maintaining a constant inlet
temperature, can be used provided that the temperatures of all engines is the same. The set point should be
85C.

Pressure from the expansion


tank
0.5 - 1.5 bar
Volume

min. 10% of the system


water volume, however,
at least 100 litres

Engine water volumes

see Technical Data.

The tank should be equipped so that it is possible to dose


water treatment agents. To prevent mixing of air with water, there should be a separate, continuously rising vent
pipe from each engine to the tank (the outlet should be
below the water level).

Preheating pump
To allow the engine to be loaded directly after start, the
jacket water must be preheated.
Design data:
Capacity

0.3 m/h x cyl.

Pressure

about 0.8 bar

Jacket water preheater


The energy required for heating of the jacket water in the
main and auxiliary engines can be taken from a running
auxiliary engine or a separate source. If heat is recovered from a running engine, the system should be designed so that the temperature of the engine concerned
is not allowed to drop below a permissible value. 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.
Design data:
Preheating temperature

min. 50C

Required heating power

about 2 kW/cyl.

Thermostatic valve, LT-circuit


A thermostatic valve shall be installed in the LT-circuit in
order to maintain an inlet temperature to the cooler between 28C and 38C.

8. Starting air system


8.1 Internal starting air system
All engines, independent of cylinder number, are started
by means of 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.

Starting air compressor


It should 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.

Configuration table (4V59L0168)

The above air consumptions apply to a 2 - 3 s long start


impulse. This is also the shortest time required for a safe
start.

Starting air vessel


The starting air vessel should be dimensioned for a nominal maximum pressure of 30 bar. Recommended standard volumes of starting air vessels are 125, 250, and
500 litres.

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.

In multiple engine propulsion installations the minimum


capacity of the starting air vessels shall be multiplied by
the factor mentioned in table 4V59L0168.

The starting air pipes should always be drawn with slope


and be arranged with manual or automatic draining at the
lowest points.

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 under all running conditions.
For the minimum requirements concerning the engine
room ventilation and for other details, see applicable
standards, such as ISO 8861.

Ventilation
The amount of air required for ventilation is calculated
from the total heat emission to evacuate. To determine
, all heat sources should 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:
qL =

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 most 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
The air required for combustion is usually taken from the
engine room through a filter fitted on the turbocharger.
This reduces the risk of too low temperatures and contamination of the combustion air. It is imperative that the
combustion air is free for example from sea water, dust
and fumes.
The combustion air should be delivered through a dedicated duct close to the turbocharger(s), directed towards
the turbocharger air intake(s). Auxiliary engines shall
also 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 maximum permissible pressure
drop in the duct is 100 mmWC. See also Cold operating
conditions below.

Cold operating conditions


In installations intended for operation in cold air conditions, restrictions for operation at low air temperature
must be considered. This may require preheating of the
combustion air and/or equipment to limit the cylinder
pressures.

11. Crankcase ventilation


The crankcase venting should be arranged separately
for each engine. The vent pipe should be equipped with a
condensate trap and drain. It is recommended to expand
the air vent pipe to DN100 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 on 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 4V76A0239, 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, the 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 metal
sheeting or the like. 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.
See Technical Data for exhaust gas quantities and temperatures.

Silencer
When included in the scope of supply, the standard silencer is of the absorption type, equipped with a spark arrester. It is also provided with a soot collector and water
drain, but is without mounting brackets and insulation.
The silencer can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.
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. For dimensioning
the boiler, The exhaust gas quantities and temperatures
given in Technical Data may be used.
Particularly when exhaust gas boilers are installed attention must be paid not to exceed the maximum recommended back pressure.

13. Emission control options

13. Emission control options


13.2. Options for further reduction of NO:

13.1. Methods
Emission control for large diesel engines primarily
means control of nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions because other emissions are low. Wrtsil Diesel has selected four methods suitable for marine applications:
Low NOx Combustion
Adjustable Injection Timing (option for R32LN with
chargers located at the free end)
Direct Water Injection
SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) Catalyst (for auxiliary engines and diesel electric propulsion)
The Low NOx Combustion concept has been implemented on the Low NOX (LN) models of the Vasa 32 engines to comply with the proposed IMO NOx regulation as
follows:
NOX [g/kWh] = 17
= 45 x n-0.2
= 9.84

130

n < 130 [RPM]


n 2000 [RPM]
n 2000 [RPM]

Adjustable Injection Timing for 10 - 15% NO:


reduction
Retarding the injection is maybe the method most often
thought of when considering decreasing the NOx emissions. The method is simple but has a drawback in that it
increases fuel consumption. Since strict limits to NOx
emissions in some cases are a regional requirement
only, Wrtsil Diesel has developed a means of retarding the injection while the engine is running. This means
that the emission level can instantaneously be adapted
according the prevailing requirements. When outside the
area with strict emission limits the injection timing can be
returned to the position giving the best fuel economy.
The injection retard is achieved with a hydraulic actuator
and a planetary gear on the camshaft.
The required investment consists of the planetary gear
with actuator which needs to be mounted on the engine.

Direct water injection for about 50% NO: reduction

Emission of sulphur oxides is directly proportional to the


sulphur content of the fuel and cannot be influenced by
engine design.

Water has a positive influence reducing NOX formation


by reducing temperature peaks during the combustion
process. Various methods of introducing water to the
combustion chamber have been tested of which emulsifying water and fuel is most widely referenced. This
method has several disadvantages, though. The most
important disadvantages are problems related with the
emulsion stability and the adverse effects on the injection equipment reliability. Wrtsil Diesel is therefore not
using water - fuel emulsion. Instead a method of direct
water injection has been developed. The direct water injection has the following merits:

Vasa 32

Efficient NOX reduction - up to 50%

The NOX emissions of the Vasa 32 are typically:

Simple and reliable system

IMO proposal: NOX limit as a function of engine rated


speed
According to the IMO proposal the NOX compliance test
has to be performed on Marine Diesel Oil and according
to ISO 8178 test cycles.
Adjustable Injection Timing, Direct Water Injection and
SCR-catalysts are options for further reduction of NOX.

HFO operation, 100% load:

14 - 16 g/kWh

MDO operation, 100% load:

13 - 15 g/kWh

Note that this exceeds proposed future regulations.

Vasa 32 LN with Low NO: combustion


The Low NOX Combustion concept is a rearranged
diesel-cycle, enabling an optimum combination of low
NOX emission and low fuel consumption.
The result of this is an emission level below the proposed
IMO curve without penalty on the fuel consumption and
without any additional running costs.

No negative influence on engine components


The method relies on injecting high pressure water directly into the combustion chamber. The key element in
the design is a combined injection valve through which
both fuel and water is injected through separate nozzles.
The injection of water is electronically controlled. Built-in
safety features enable immediate water injection shut-off
in the event of excessive water flow, leakage and abnormalities in the exhaust gas temperatures. The water
should be clean, fresh water such as produced by the
ships freshwater distiller. The required pressure is generated using a piston pump.

The IMO proposed NOX limit is for 720 RPM and


750 RPM about 12.0 g/kWh (ISO 8178 test fuel (MDO)
and test cycle).

Marine Project Guide WV32 - 2/1997

93

13. Emission control options

The required investment (assuming that freshwater is


available) consists of the special fuel injectors, high pressure pumps and piping and an electronic control system.

Wrtsil Diesel has however been able to reduce these


disadvantages by developing Compact SCR. This
technology is based on the following features:

For maximum reduction levels the required fresh water


supply is typically 100 g/kWh.

Low NOx Combustion engines

SCR-catalyst for 80 - 95% NO: reduction


Reduction of the NOx takes place by injecting the reducing agent - aqueous solution of urea - into the exhaust
gas at a temperature of 300 - 450C in which the urea decays into ammonia and carbon dioxide, and subsequently passing the mixture through a catalyst where the
NOX are converted to nitrogen and water, e.g. harmless
end products.
The aqueous urea is often bunkered as a liquid from
ashore or alternatively mixed onboard in a special tank
from water and urea granulate.
The rate of NOX reduction depends on the amount of ammonia (urea) added which can be expressed as a
NH3/NOX ratio. At a high ratio a high reduction is obtained, but at the same time the amount of unused ammonia passing through the catalyst increases. This is
referred to as ammonia slip. Usually the catalyst is dimensioned for an end of run (aged catalyst) ammonia
slip of max. 15 - 25 ppmv. The reduction rate can be increased by increasing the catalyst volume.
SCR technology can reduce the NOX level of Vasa 32
and Vasa 32LN to 0.5 - 2 g/kWh.

Compact SCR - a combined silencer and SCR-unit


The disadvantages of SCR have been the large size and
relatively high cost of the equipment required. The units
require also a certain maintenance and the catalyst has a
limited lifetime.

Compact design of combined SCR unit and silencer,


also suitable for retrofits
Built in dust blowing equipment
Can be equipped as a silencer unit only, with possibility
of retrofitting SCR
A Low NOX Combustion engine provides a platform for
applying SCR technology at a reasonable cost because
the NOX level is low to begin with. As a consequence the
dimensions of the catalyst are moderate. The additional
installation volume required for a SCR unit is further reduced by combining the reactor with a silencer which as
an independent entity becomes obsolete. This also allows to prepare for SCR technology stepwise fitting at a
first stage only a special design silencer, which at an arbitrary later moment can be converted into a fully
equipped SCR/silencer. Ease of maintenance and the
lifetime of the catalyst is enhanced by built in dust blowing equipment. Due to the minimized size, a compact
SCR/ silencer can be fitted into practically any newbuilding and even many existing vessels, however not after
an exhaust gas boiler.
The required investment consists of the urea mixing and
feeding equipment, the SCR unit and relevant instrumentation.
Running costs are generated by the consumption of urea
and the replacement of catalyst according to a renewal
scheme. The urea consumption can be expected to be
about 20 - 25 g/kWh of 40 wt-% urea. The lifetime of the
catalyst is about 4 years depending on the actual running
conditions.

14. Control and monitoring system

14. Control and monitoring system


14.1. Normal start and stop of the diesel engine
Main engine
The engine can be started by operating the master starting valve, either manually or at remote starting through
the solenoid built on the master starting valve. Note that
the start is mechanically blocked if the stop lever on the
engine is in STOP position or pneumatically if the turning
gear is engaged. It should be possible to block the remote start with a lockable switch near the engine. This
switch is not included in the diesel engine delivery.
When starting, the diesel engine accelerates to the
speed set by the governor. Normally, the start is performed at minimum speed (idling speed), i.e. the lever on
the bridge or in the control room is set at zero (when the
speed can be controlled steplessly), but the engine can
also be started at maximum speed.
When starting manually, the acceleration can be controlled by the stop lever. At remote start through the starting solenoid valve (as well as at manual start), a
pneumatically operated limiting cylinder is automatically
engaged to optimize fuel injection during the acceleration period. A solenoid valve (mounted on the engine)
controls the limiting cylinder, which limits the fuel injection as follows:
1.

The solenoid valve is always energized when the


diesel engine is shut down and the air pipe is open
to the limiting cylinder, which receives air at the
same time as the starting valve is operated.

2.

When the engine speed has reached a preset


value, 100 RPM below the nominal speed or minimum speed, the speed measuring system cuts the
voltage after a time delay of about 2 seconds. The
limiting cylinder is vented and full injection is possible.

An automatic starting fuel limiter is installed on all engines, except for those driving fixed pitch propellers (in
these engines the fuel injection limiting device is incorporated in the governor). At remote start, the starting solenoid should be energized for 4 seconds 2 seconds
through a time relay. A relay in the speed measuring system, the switching point of which is 300 RPM, will indicate
when the diesel engine is running.

Marine Project Guide WV32 - 2/1997

The engine can be stopped either manually by turning


the stop lever to STOP position or remotely by energizing
the shut-down solenoid mounted on all governors. The
shut-down solenoid, which is delivered as standard,
stops the engine when energized. A shut-down solenoid
which stops the engine when de-energized can be delivered if separately specified. The solenoid in the overspeed trip device should also be energized at the same
time. To ensure that the engine stops, the solenoids
should be energized for about 60 seconds through a time
relay. The engine cannot be started during this time.
When the stop solenoids are activated, remote operation
of the start solenoid should be prohibited. When two engines are connected to a common reduction gear it is
recommended that the clutches of the stopped engines
are blocked in the OUT position, i.e. normally the respective clutches should not be allowed to be engaged
before the engine is running.
When one of the engines is stopped, the clutch should be
opened to prevent it from being driven by a running engine. At a stop signal for overspeed, the clutch should remain closed.

Auxiliary engine
The procedure for local and remote start of the auxiliary
engine can be same as for main engines. All auxiliary engines are provided with the above described starting fuel
limiter. The procedure for local and remote shut-down of
the auxiliary engine is also the same as that for the main
engines. The start is normally performed automatically at
black-outs or when an operating generating set reaches
the preset output for the start up of the next set. The start
can be performed by a start program making e.g. 3 starting attempts. The time interval between each starting attempt of about 4 seconds should be about 20 seconds.
The starting program should be disconnected when the
engine starts. If the engine fails to start even after the
third attempt, an alarm should occur. A nominal generating set reaches the nominal speed 6 - 8 seconds after the
starting impulse. The acceleration time for 4R32 sets is
somewhat longer, i.e. 10 - 12 seconds.

95

14. Control and monitoring system

14.2. Automatic and emergency stop;


overspeed trip
The engine is provided with the following shut-down solenoids:
a solenoid in the speed governor
a solenoid for control of the electropneumatic overspeed trip
Automatic stop, as well as remote stop, is accomplished
by energizing the shut-down solenoids for about 60 seconds. All engines are delivered with ON/OFF switches
for
low lubricating oil pressure
high cooling water temperature
These micro-swithches should energize the shut-down
solenoids when the lubricating oil pressure drops below
or the cooling water temperature exceeds the preset values. The required relay automatics are not included in
the diesel engine delivery. To enable starting of the engine, the micro-switch for low lubricating oil pressure
should be blocked at engine start. This is most conveniently done by arranging voltage supply through the
300 RPM relay in the speed measuring system of the engine. Further, a time relay of about 3 - 10 seconds is to be
installed in the circuit to allow a sufficient lubricating oil
pressure to be established. This applies to engines with
direct driven lubricating oil pumps. An oil mist detector
should be connected to the same relay automatics in
case automatic stop is required at high concentration of
oil mist in the crankcase. The remote emergency stop
push buttons on e.g. bridge should energize the stop solenoids directly and not through relay automatics. When
arranging a 5 seconds delay for the auto-stop it is possible to prevent the engine from stopping by overriding the
signal before the stop solenoids are energized.
All engines are provided with an electro-pneumatic overspeed trip in addition to the all-mechanical overspeed
trip. The electro-pneumatic overspeed trip is activated
when a tacho relay in the speed measuring system energizes a solenoid valve built on the engine, and this valve
allows air to the shut-down cylinders on each injection
pump. This overspeed trip is built on the engine. When
the main engine speed has decreased to a preset value
the solenoid valve is de-energized and the speed is
again controlled by the governor. The engine need not
stop. The overspeed should be indicated on all control
stations by means of a signal lamp, which has reset in the
engine room, near the engine.
Auxiliary engines are always stopped if the overspeed
trip has been activated. At the same time as the overspeed trip is activated, the shut-down solenoid is also energized on auxiliary engines.

96

The tripping speeds of the overspeed trip are as follow:

Main engine
Electro-pneumatic:
Nom. max. speed 720 RPM tripping 830 RPM 10 RPM
Nom. max. speed 750 RPM tripping 860 RPM 10 RPM
Mechanical:
Nom. max. speed 720 RPM tripping 850 RPM 10 RPM
Nom. max. speed 750 RPM tripping 885 RPM 10 RPM

Auxiliary engines
Electro-pneumatic:
Nom. max. speed 720 RPM tripping 815 RPM 10 RPM
Nom. max. speed 750 RPM tripping 850 RPM 10 RPM
Mechanical:
Nom. max. speed 720 RPM tripping 830 RPM 10 RPM
Nom. max. speed 750 RPM tripping 860 RPM 10 RPM
If the mechanical overspeed trip has been released, the
engine cannot start before the spring has been manually
loaded again.

14.3. 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 is:
Woodward PGA 58
The governor is 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 controllable pitch propeller installations at 60 - 70% of the nominal speed and for fixed-pitch
propeller installations at about 40 - 50%.
The standard control air pressure for pneumatically controlled governor is:
p = 0.00857 x 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.

Marine Project Guide WV32 - 2/1997

14. Control and monitoring system

Governors for engines connected to a common reduction gear are specially adapted and adjusted for the
same speed droop, normally about 4%, to obtain basic
load sharing. In addition, external load sharing based on
the fuel rack position transducer is recommended. A
built-in delay of the speed change rate is standard on
governors; the time for speed acceleration from idle to
rated speed and vice versa at speed decrease is 10 - 12
seconds.

Provision for the following external connections is standard on the engine:

Generating set speed control

relay, optional switch point

Generator engines are usually provided with mechanical/hydraulic governors for electric speed setting.

Each relay can be loaded with 24 - 110 V DC, 30 VA.

The standard type of governors used are:

14.5. Blocking of alarms

Woodward UG 10

The load dependant cooling water system is standard


equipment on the engine. With this system two different
cooling water temperature levels are maintained in the
low temperature circuit, normal level at high loads and
higher level at low engine load. For the high lubricating oil
temperature, an alarm switch with two set points is used.
If an analogue sensor is used, two alarm channels have
to be reserved. At low load, the lower set point of the lubricating oil temperature alarm as well as the alarm for
high charge air temperature have to be blocked as
shown in the diagram below. The relay automatics are
not included in the engine delivery.

Woodward PGG 58
Both governors are equipped with speed setting motors
for synchronizing and load sharing, with a shutdown solenoid and with an electrical starting fuel limiter. The synchronizing is operated by ON/OFF control as an
increase or decrease by polarity switching.
The normal speed change rate is about 0.3 Hz/s.
To obtain basic load sharing, engines intended for parallel running have governors specially adapted for the
same speed droop, i.e. about 4%.
If electronic type speed governors are specified, Woodward PG-EG type actuators or similar can be used.
Electronic governors are recommended for dieselelectric main engines.

14.4. Speed measuring system


The speed measuring system mounted on the engine includes magnetic pick-ups for engine and turbocharger
speed as well as a central unit with power supply, measuring converters and relay outputs. The central unit is
supplied as a separate unit, for installation e.g. in the
control room. A separate drawing of the speed measuring system is supplied for each installation. The following
equipment is ready wired on the engine:
magnetic pick-up for engine speed
magnetic pick-up for turbocharger speed

analogue signal indicating the engine speed 0 10 V DC (0 - 1000 RPM)


analogue signal indicating the turbocharger speed 0 10 V DC (0 - 30000 RPM)
relay, switch point 15 % above nominal speed
relay, switch point 300 RPM

14.6. Electric prelubricating pump


All diesel engines are equipped with an electric prelubricating pump. The pump is used for:
1. Filling the lubricating oil system of the diesel engine
before start, for example when the engine has not
run for a long time.
2. Continuous prelubrication of a stopped diesel engine, through which heavy fuel is circulating.
3. Continuous prelubricating of a stopped diesel engine
in a multi-engine installation always when one of the
engines is in operation.
To ensure that the requirement mentioned in item 2
above will always be fulfilled, automatic starting and
stopping of the prelubricating pump can be controlled by
the speed sensing relay with the switch point 300 RPM.

14.7. Electric built-on fuel feed pump


All in-line engines for heavy fuel oil are as standard
equipped with an electric fuel feed pump, except for engines in single engine installations. For V-engines the
corresponding pump should be fitted in the external fuel
system. The pump is used as follows:
1.

For continuous circulation of heavy fuel through


the engine, if the engine is running, or is in standby, on heavy fuel.

2.

To start before the engine starts, when running on


Marine Diesel Fuel, and stop with the engine.

14.8. Preheating of cooling water


Preheating of the cooling water has to be arranged on
engines which are in stand-by on heavy fuel and for all
engines which are arranged for instant load application.
Preheating is preferably controlled automatically. The
circulating pump should start when one engine stops,
and stop when all engines are running.
The cooling water preheater should be controlled by a
thermostat, which keeps the temperature of the preheating water into the engine at about 70C.

The exhaust gas and main bearing temperature transducers are thermocouples (NiCr/Ni) each of which is
connected through compensating cables to its own amplifier mounted on the engine.

15.1. General
Main engines are normally mounted rigidly on the foundation, either on steel or resin chocks. Auxiliary engines
are mounted flexibly 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 are presented in chapter 16.

15.2. 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 for those holes which are to be
reamed and equipped with fitted bolts. These 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 as follows:
phyd = Fbolt / Apiston [N/mm]
The hydraulic tool has the following effective piston area:
Apiston = 7130 mm.
Side supports must be installed for all engines. On four,
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 is 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.

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. The seating top
plate should be designed so that the wedge-type chocks
can easily be fitted into position.

Marine Project Guide WV32 - 2/1997

The size of the chocks should be 250 x 170 mm and they


should have an inclination of 1:100. The chocks are preferably made of steel, although 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 to be reamed and equipped with fitted bolts.
The design of the clearance and the fitted bolts is shown
in drawing 1V69L0028.
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 ensure 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

phyd = 580 bar ~ 60% of yield point

St 52-3

phyd = 330 bar ~ 80% of yield point

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 450 x 180 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
the 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 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 drawing 1V69L0028. The
bolt diameter shall be 24. Assuming a permissible surface pressure of 3.5 N/mm, the oil pressure to be used
for the hydraulic tool is:
34CrNiMo6V

phyd = 170 bar ~ 18% of yield point

St 52-3

phyd = 170 bar ~ 79% of yield point

In order to assure proper fastening and avoid bending


stress in the bolts, the contact faces of the nuts should be
spotfaced.

15.3. 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 for the shipyard to inform Wrtsil Diesel at the
design stage of the 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
other types of mounts can also 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 do 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 with 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).

15.4. 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
4V60L0813 showing how pipes shall be clamped.

17. Power Transmission


17.1. Connection to driven equipment
Power transmission of propulsion engines is accomplished through a flexible coupling. Alternatively, a combined flexible coupling and clutch mounted on the
flywheel is 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 four and six cylinder engines single
bearing alternators with flange connection to the flywheel
are preferred.

Full output is also available at the free end of the engine.


An intermediate shaft and bearing is necessary between
the engine and the flexible coupling of the PTO.
The mass-moments of inertia of the propulsion engines
(including flywheel) are typically as follows:

The type of flexible coupling to be used is decided from


case to case on the basis of the torsional vibration calculations that are made for each installation.
