Preface

fering and damaging influences. In order to be able to fulfil expectations they


must be used as intended and must be maintained properly. You can expect
uninterrupted performance and a long life if these requirements are met.

Intent and purpose of the


operating and working
instructions

The operating and work instructions (work cards) will help you to familiarise
yourself with the engine. They are intended to provide answers to questions
which arise at a later date and to be a handbook for operation of the engine
and during maintenance work. We consider the understanding of the methods of action, the promotion of cause and effect and the passing on of
experience to be an aim of equal value. Last, but by no means least, the
handover of the operating instruction manual and working instructions signifies our fulfilment of the legal obligation to provide advice concerning the
dangers arising from the engine or its components - despite its high level of
development and despite all design endeavours - or which arise from handling which is improper and in contravention of the instructions.

Condition 1

The operating personnel and the persons executing the servicing and overhauling activities must be familiar with the operating instructions and work
instructions (Work Cards), which must be available at all times for reference.

Lack of information

Lack of information and non-observance of information can cause serious injury to persons and serious damage to property and the environment! Please therefore: observe Operating and Work Instructions!

Condition 2

The maintenance and overhaul of modern four stroke engines requires prior
comprehensive training of the personnel. The operating instructions and
working instructions (Work Cards) assume the skills relevant to this training.
Guarantee and liability claims cannot be accepted resulting from the lack of
relevant instructions.

Untrained staff

Condition 3

The technical documentation is tailored to the specific installation. This


means that there can be considerable differences in comparison with other
installations. Information that is valid in one specific case could cause problems in another product.

Manufacturer's liability
Safe efficient operation of the engine system presupposes comprehensive
knowledge. In a similar way, functionality can only be maintained or recreated by maintenance or repair work if these tasks are carried out by trained
personnel having technical understanding and skill. The rules of sound
technical practice must be observed to preclude negligence.

Introduction

Manufacturer's liability

The Technical Documentation supplements this skill with special information, draws attention to hazards and points out the safety regulations which
are to be observed. MAN Diesel SE requests that you observe the following
rules:

Non-observance of the technical documentation

Non-observance of the technical documentation, especially of the operating and work instructions and the safety stipulations, use of the
system for a purpose not intended by the manufacturer, or any other
improper use or negligent application, can cause serious damage to
property and serious personal injury, for which the manufacturer rejects
all liability.

Tips for use


The operating instructions contain information in words and images: Some
which are useful and some which it is imperative to follow. This information
is meant to expand the current knowledge and existing skills of those who

are familiar with the operative management,

with monitoring and checking,

with the maintenance and repair

Introduction

of the engine. Training received at school or practical experience is not


adequate.
The operating instructions must be accessible to this group. In turn, the
persons in charge have the task of familiarising themselves with the structure of the operating instructions to such an extent that they can find the
required information without having to search for long periods.
We will also try to provide you with a clearly organised structure in an easyto-understand language.

Structure and special features


The operating instruction is comprised of 5 sections:
1. Introduction
2. Engineering
3. Operation/Operating media
4. Maintenance/Repairs
5. Appendix
It is mainly oriented to the understanding of complex

functions and contexts,

Starting and stopping the engine,

Planning engine operation, controlling according to operating results


and economic criteria,

maintaining the engine in operational readiness, carrying out preventive


or scheduled maintenance.

Transport, assembly and disassembly of the engine or major parts of it,

Working steps and checks at the time of the initial start-up of the engine,

Repairs requiring special tools, facilities and experience,

Actions to be taken during and after a case of fire, water penetration,


serious damage and disaster.

What is also important


Engine version

The operating instructions are continually updated to be state-of-the-art


and to be matched to the ordered version of the engine. There may be

apparent gaps in the chapter numbering of the operating and working


instructions as a result of the version of engine purchased. This situation
does not represent an error and is governed by the structuring system. Even
so, there nay be differences between the pages with the primary described/
represented content and the the actual execution.
There is normally a thematic differentiation between main marine engines,
auxiliary marine engines and engines for stationary applications. In positions
where the differences in content are slight, the treatment is kept to a general
mode. Read such points selectively, keeping in mind the listed limitations.

Technical data

You will find technical data for your engine

in section 2 under "Technical data",

in Volume A1 in the printed material "..... Continuous Development",

in the Volume B2 in the Work Card 000.30,

in Volume B5 in the Trial Run protocol as well as in the start-up protocol,

in volume D1 in the list of the measuring, control and regulating devices,

in volume E1 in the assembly drawing.

With the exception of said printed material, all documents are matched to
a specific engine

Maintenance schedule / Work The maintenance plan is closely allied to the Work Card in volume B2. The
Work Cards describe how to carry out a task and which tools and auxiliary
Cards
equipment are required. The maintenance schedule in turn contains the
repeat intervals and the average personnel and time requirement.

Characteristic features
Characteristic features
Engine 48/60 B - an important Engines having the designation 48/60 B are turbocharged 4 stroke engines
member of the medium speed in inline and V formation having a cylinder bore of 480 mm and a piston
stroke of 600 mm They are used as energy generators in ships and in stafamily
tionary power stations.

Features in keywords

V engines 48/60 CR consist basically of static elements such as the crankcase, cylinder bushing and cylinder heads and of moving elements such as
the crankshaft with piston rods and pistons, gear drive system and camshaft
and fuel pump and valve actuators. The turbocharger is used to compress
the fresh air. The charge air lines are located in front of the cylinder heads,
the central exhaust line is located between the cylinder rows.
The camshafts are located in troughs on the exterior of the engines. They
serve to actuate the inlet and exhaust valves and provide the drive for the
injector pumps. An electrical setting unit allows alteration of the injection
timing.
The turbocharger and charging air cooler are normally on coupling side in
the case of propeller operation and, in the case of generator operation they
are on counter coupling side. A drive unit on counter coupling side can be
used to drive the coolant and lubrication oil pumps.
The engine is suitable for fuels up to 700 mm2/s at 50C up to and including
CIMAC H/K 55. The engine can be equipped for operation with MDO on
request.
Engines in the range 48/60 B have a larger stroke/bore ratio and a higher
compression ratio. These values simplify optimum combustion chamber
design and contribute to improved part load performance and to high levels
of effectivity.

Oil sump/foundation frame

The oil sump or the foundation frame collects the oil that drips from the
engine parts and feeds it to the lubricating oil tank which is located lower
down. In engines with rigid or semi-elastic suspension, an oil sump in standard design is used. In engines with elastic suspension, a reinforced oil sump
is used. If the engine is located on the foundation frame this is also used as
the lubricating oil tank.

Main bearing/Locating bearing


Bearing cap/tie rod

The crankshaft main bearings are comprised respectively of an upper and

The locating bearing, which determines the axial position of the crankshaft,
is mounted on the coupling side. It consists of the two-part drive wheel (21)
on the crankshaft and of butting rings which are supported on the first thrust
blocks (see Figure 3).

Crankshaft

2 (8)

The forged crankshaft is arranged in a suspended position and has two


balance weights per cylinder pair, which serve for balancing the oscillating
masses (see Figure 4). The drive gear for the camshaft drive is comprised
of two segments and is mounted on the crankshaft by tangentially arranged
bolts.

The torsion vibration damper fitted on the free engine end ensures that
unwanted torsional vibrations are transmitted from the inside to axially
arranged leaf spring assemblies and damped there by oil displacement. The
internal arrangement is such that coolant and lubricating oil pumps can be
driven by a toothed ring (not shown in the figure) bolted in position.

Connecting rod
Connecting rod with split line The split line of the connecting rod is located underneath the connecting

rod small end (refer to Figure 6). When retracting the piston the big-end
bearing need not be split. Moreover, this design reduces the height required
for piston removal.

Figure 7: Piston two-piece, oil-cooled

Design characteristics

The piston comprises fundamentally of two components (see Figure 9), the
upper section of the piston (9) and the lower section of the piston. The piston
crown includes the ring grooves for the compression rings whilst the connecting rod is held on the piston skirt by the piston pin (20). The piston pin
is supported in the piston in a floating manner and axially fixed in position
using retaining rings. The piston crown and skirt are connected to each other
using extension bolts (10).

Piston rings

Three compression rings (11) and an oil control ring (12) are used for sealing
the piston to the cylinder liner.

Cooling

Lubricating oil is used for cooling the piston crown. The lubricating oil is fed
to the piston crown via the connecting rod and with the help of a springmounted funnel.

Stepped piston"

The piston crown (9) has a slightly smaller diameter than the rest of the
running surface. Pistons with this design are referred to as stepped pistons.

Cylinder liner
In the upper area, the cylinder liner (15) is centred by the support ring (see
Figure 9). In the lower area, the cylinder liner is guided by the crankcase.
The top land ring (14) fits on the joint of the cylinder liner.

Figure 8: Cylinder liner with support ring and top land ring

Interaction stepped piston/top The top land ring (14) which projects above the cylinder liner bore works
together with the recessed piston crown (9) of the stepped piston to ensure
land ring
that burnt carbon deposits on the piston crown do not come into contact
with the running surface of the cylinder liner (15).

Cooling

The coolant reaches the cylinder liner via the support ring. From here the
top part of the cylinder liner is cooled. The coolant then flows through the
top land ring and via holes in the support ring to the cooling chambers in
the cylinder head. The cylinder head, support ring and top land ring can be
drained together.
Top land ring, cylinder liner and cylinder head can be checked by using
checking apertures in the support ring for gas tightness and coolant leaks.

The drive for the inlet and exhaust valve actuation is from the camshaft via
the inlet and exhaust cam followers to the push rods. The cam lift is picked
up by the cam follower roller and then transmitted via ball cups from the
cam follower to the push rod.

Valve actuation

The movement of the push rods is transmitted through rocker arms to the
valves. The rocker arms are also carried in ball cups (see Fig. 4).

Valves/seat rings

The exhaust valve cone and the corresponding seat ring are fitted with reinforcement. The exhaust valve seat ring is also designed to be water-cooled.
In the case of the inlet valve, only the valve cone has a reinforcement (see

Rotators

The inlet valves (11) are turned via valve rotators. The exhaust valves (12)
have propeller blades above the valve plate which rotate the valves by the
gas flowing over them. The rotators counteract high temperature loading at
individual points and guarantee gas-tight valve seats.

system

The electronic speed and output control system comprises an electronic

Working principle with


mechanical-hydraulic speed
control system or electronichydraulic speed control system

The difference between the target speed and the actual value is evaluated
by the mechanical speed controller or by the electronic control unit. If there
is a difference between the two, the connecting rod is adjusted hydraulically,
thus moving the control shaft and the control rods of the injection pumps,
i.e. the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder is changed.

Working principle with electronic speed control system

In the electronic control device, the difference between the set and real
speed value is evaluated. A correction signal is created if there is a difference
between the two. The setting unit moves the control rods on the injection
pumps and thus changes the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder.

Injection timing adjustment


The point of injection can be adjusted for different fuel qualities with the
injection timing adjusting device. The cam followers of the injection pumps
are moved by eccentric shafts.

Figure 1: Direct resilient engine support

Rigid support

The support of the engine on the foundations is by rigid connection in the


simplest case, both for stationary installations and for ship's installations.
In this solution the free mass forces and torques as well as the mechanical
vibration are transferred to the foundations.

Indirect resilient support

In the case of indirect elastic support of stationary installations the engine/


generator unit is often supported on a resilient foundation block. In this way
the vibration stimulations and mechanical vibration transmission on the
periphery are reduced.

Semi-resilient support

In case of the semi-resilient support, the engine, in marine drives, is connected to the foundation with steel membranes

Direct resilient support

Direct resilient support is the most expensive solution. The foundation provides vibration-insulated separation of the engine, and a highly resilient
coupling also separates the elements to be driven.

Compressed air and starting system


Compressed air is required for starting the engine and for performing a
range of pneumatic controls. 30 bar is required for starting. 30 bar, 8 bar
or lower pressures are required for the control system. The supply to these
systems is from 30 bar compressed air vessels via the connection 7171. In
order to guarantee perfect operation of the control valves even when the
pressure in a section of the compressed air vessel is reduced by previous
starting operations, ship's main engines have a second compressed air
connection 7172. The supply of control air from a separate compressed air
vessel can take place through this. Non-return valves prevent pressure
compensation.

In brief

2.4.2

In detail

As soon as a shut-off valve on the pressure vessels is opened, air flows


through connection 7171 to branch a and on to the main starting valve (see
figure 1). The lines connected to branch a are used for control purposes.
The airflows from connections 7171 and 7172 meet at branch b. The branch
c follows the filter M 462. A line leads to the valve M 329/2 for actuation of
the emergency stop device for the fuel pumps (see Figure 1) and to the
reducing valve M 409 (see Figure 8).
The valve assemblies M 329/1 and M 329/2 are actuated by control air on
the primary side. On the secondary side, they can be switched over by control air, electrically by a solenoid coil or manually (only in marine applications).
Pressure-reducing valve M 409 on the control console is supplied with air
from connection B of the main starting valve or by a second connection
downstream of filter M 462.
The second line on branch c conducts control air to valve M 329/1 via branch
d. The branch line at d connects valve M 306 on the indexing unit to valve
M 329/1.
Branch e follows downstream of the valve M 329/1. The secondary feed line
leads to the control side of valve M 317 on the main starting valve and to
the control console.
With the pressure vessel opened, air is present at the main starting valve,
at valve M 317, at valve M 371/1 (if present), at valve M 329/2, in the control
device and at valves M 306 and M329/1.

Start procedure (Description


section 1)

The starting process is initiated by an impulse from the operation or remote


control device to the valve M 329/1.
This valve can be used for manually starting the engine in an emergency.
The impulse opens the pre-switching valve of the valve combination M
329/1 with the pre-condition that the indexing unit is disengaged, i.e. the
valve M 306 is set to through-flow. In this case, the valve combination M
329/1 is finally opened. It releases the route for the air to the control side of
valve M 317. The valve switches over. The connections A and E on the main
starter valve, which were previously under pressure, and thus held the main
cone closed and the bleed valve open, are thus depressurised. This causes
the main starter valve to open and the bleed valve to close (see figure 4). As
a result, air flows to the starter valves in the cylinder heads.

6706 2.4.2-01 EN

Engineering
V48/60B

2008-05-14

On V engines only cylinder bank A is equipped with a starting device.


These valves/gate valves are opened when specific conditions are met. The
main starter valve is opened by the control valve M 317 (see Figure 2). The
starter control gate valves are pressurised with air as soon as the valve M
329/1 in the control console is opened and they are finally opened in accordance with the firing order as soon as the associated starter cams on the
camshaft (28) has gone by (see Figure 8). The air flow from the starter control
gate valve finally opens the relevant starting valve.

The valve cone of the main starter valve is closed if the inlet side is depressurised. As soon as the compressed air line is opened, the pressure acting
on the shoulder attempts to open the valve cone. The force of the pressure
spring and the pressure at connection A, which is transferred to the annular
surface R, counteract this. In this condition, connection E is also under
pressure, i.e. the bleed valve is open. As soon as the control system
switches over, valve M 317, connections A and E are depressurised. The
main cone is opened, the bleed valve closed by the air pressure building up
in the exhaust casing.

Start procedure (Description


section 2)

With the valve M 329/1 opened, the starter control gate valves are also under
pressure. As soon as the starter cam closes the ram pipe in a cylinder, the
distributing slide valve is switched over and pilot air directed to the starting
valve. This opens the starting valve and the full flow of air is directed into
the combustion chamber. The piston is pressed downwards. The crankshaft
and camshaft are turned. The next starter control gate valve is thereby
switched over and the next cylinder supplied with air.

Compressed air route

Compressed air flows via the connection 7171 to the main starter valve (6)
(see Figure 1) and via the pneumatically actuated starter valve (8) to the
cylinders. In order to guarantee the perfect operation of the control valves,
even when the pressure is reduced in one part of the compressed air tanks
due to preceding starting procedures, marine main engines have a second
compressed air connection 7172. Non-return valves prevent pressure compensation.

When the isolator valve on the compressed air tank is opened compressed
air flows to the main starter valve (6) and through the air pipe to the control
valve M317. At the same time, compressed air flows through the air filter
M462 to the pilot valve M329/1, the emergency stop valve M329/2 and the
blocking valve M306 (turning over gearbox) (see Figure 2).

20 Support ring
Figure 7: Starting valve
When the blocking valve M306 is open i.e. the turning over gear is disengaged and there is no start block from the safety control system (only on
stationary engines), air flows on to the pilot control valve M329/1. As soon
as it gets a start command from the automatic system or from the control
console it can switch to the through-flow position and it releases the route
to the starting gate valves (21), to the control valve M317. In an emergency
situation the pilot valve M329/1 can also be actuated manually. The control
valve M317 then opens the main starter valve (6) and closes the bleed valve
(5) so that the compressed air flows through the starter line (A) to the starter
valves (8) (see Figure 1 and Figure 5).
Depending upon the position of the camshaft (28), the venting hole of the
starter control gate valve (21) is covered by the starter cam (27) on one
cylinder. This causes a piston in the starter control gate valve to open the
route and air flows via the control line to the relevant starter valve and opens
it. The compressed air thus flows into the cylinder and pushes the piston
downwards, i.e. the crankshaft starts to rotate. When the starter cam runs
away from the area of the impulse pipe. the starter control gate valve (21)
closes, the air supply is interrupted and the pipe is vented. The starting

guaranteed for each crankshaft position.

Flame breaker

Flame breakers are installed in the connections of the starting air pipe to the
support rings of the cylinder liners. They should prevent flames from flashing
back in the case of damaged starting valves.

Drainage

In the connection line from the pressure tanks to the main starting valve a
discharge cock must be fitted at the deepest point. This cock must be
opened at regular intervals to remove accumulating condensation from the
pipes. The cock is used for bleeding the pipe prior to assembly work. The
relief cock is used for the same purpose on the main starting valve, which
is fitted to the relief pipe of the air bleed valve.

Bleeding the pipe prior to


assembly work

The relief cock must be opened prior to starting maintenance work. This
prevents pressure from building up in front of the main starting valve as a
result of leaks in the pressure tank shut-off fittings which could lead to the
unintentional starting of the engine.

Slow turn device

In engines started in automatic mode, the opening of the indicator cocks is


not guaranteed. In this case the slow turn device is activated prior to starting.
The device permits the engine to turn slowly over for approx. 3 rotations
with the objective of ascertaining whether all cylinder areas are free of liquids
for the subsequent starting procedure. The device is based on the existing
starting system. It works at a reduced (adjustable) air pressure.

The fuel is supplied to the engine at the front/at connection 5671, and
drained away from connection 5699 (see Figure 1). The high pressure
pumps (23) are interconnected by the fuel plug-in pipes and pipe retainers.
The fuel is directed through the fuel injection line (25) and a push-in pipe
(26) from the fuel injection pump (23) to the injection valve (5) (see Figure 3).
The high pressure pumps (2) are driven by the cam followers (16) and the
cams (22) on the camshaft (see Figure 2). The volume of fuel is determined
by the position of the control rod (15) control sleeve (19) and the pump
plunger / pump piston (17). It is controlled using the control shaft (27). This
control shaft is rigidly connected to the control rod using a buckling lever.

Rapid pressure fluctuations arise in the distributor pipe (1) and manifold line
(2) through the priming and shut-off of the injection pump plunger. Such
pressure shocks are reduced by spring-loaded buffer pistons at the inlet
and outlet of the lines.

Injection lines/Leak fuel lines The injection pumps (23) feed the fuel in the injection lines (25) to the injec-

valves and injection pumps is collected in the leak manifold (8) and drained
to the manifold (12 and 13) at the foot of the injection pumps (see schematic
drawing Figure 1).

Effects from the past


Many prerequisites for successful operation of the engine/the engine installation are met very early. Others can/must be influenced immediately.
The fundamental principles, which can no longer be subject to direct influence, include

the origin of the engine,

qualified production under the supervision of the monitoring authorities/


classification companies and

expert mounting and the exact setting of the engine during the trial run.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites/Guarantee

The factors affecting later events also include

the care exercised in planning, designing and erecting the system,

interaction circumstances of the customer with the designers and suppliers and

consistent target-oriented work during the start-up and running-in


phase.

Prerequisites - To be practised daily


Prerequisites that must be always met in everyday operation include

the selection of suitable personnel and their instruction and training,

availability of Technical documentation for the system, especially operating instructions and safety regulations,

ensuring operational readiness and operating reliability, oriented


towards operating objectives and operating results,

the organisation of inspections, maintenance and repair activities,

The commissioning of the systems, auxiliary facilities and engines


according to a chronologically ordered checklist and

the determination of the operating targets whilst striking a balance


between expenditure and benefit.

The following sections provide information on the above-mentioned topics.

2008-06-12

Safety-related basic principles/their fulfillment


Hazard-free use

German laws and standards and European Union (EU) Directives require
that technical products must have the necessary safety features to protect
the users and must conform to the general recognised technical regulations.
It must be stressed, that hazard-free use and the safety of the machines
must be guaranteed through expert planning and design, and cannot be
achieved through restrictive rules of behaviour.

Intended use

The technical documentation must contain statements regarding "intended


use" and concerning restrictions of use.

Persistent risks

Persistent risks must be disclosed, sources of danger/critical situations


must be marked/labelled. These notes should enable the operating personnel to carry out safe actions and to avoid dangers.

Safety

General remarks

Signals, symbols, text or illustrations must be used as communication elements which point out such sources of danger/critical situations. They must
be applied to the product and inserted in the technical documentation in an
agreed manner. A multi-stage system is to be used for safety instructions.

Contribution from MAN Diesel MAN Diesel SE complies with these requirements by special endeavours in
the development, design and execution and by corresponding structuring
SE
of the technical documentation, especially with regard to the instructions in
this section. This partially key-word structuring does not, however, absolve
from the observance of the individual sections of the technical documentation. Please note also that inappropriate actions can lead to the loss of
guarantee cover.

By the nature of things there are specific dangers associated with technical
products, operating situations and interventions. This is, in spite of all
efforts, also applicable to the development, design and manufacture of
engines and turbochargers. In normal operation, and even under certain
unfavourable conditions, they can be operated safely. Nevertheless, residual hazards remain which cannot be avoided completely. Some of these are
merely potential hazards and some only appear in specific circumstances
or during unplanned actions. Others are particularly current.

Planned workstations
Engines are usually operated by remote control. Regular tours of inspection
according to the rules of "observance-free operation" are required. In this
case priority is given to overseeing measuring, control and regulating devices as well as other areas of the plant particular worthy of attention.
Personnel are not intended to remain continuously in the immediate vicinity
of the engine or turbocharger while it is running.
Servicing and maintenance activities are, as far as possible, not to be carried
out with the engine(s) running in the dangerous zones listed in Table 1 or in
Figures 1 and 2.

Personal protection measures


The accident prevention regulations (APR) and other regulations issued by
the responsible trade association or comparable institutions must be strictly
observed.
This includes wearing work protection clothes and safety shoes, the use of
safety helmets, goggles, hearing protection and gloves.

Safety

Safety Regulations
Prerequisites
Personnel

The engine and the systems required for its operation may only be put into
operation, operated and switched off by authorised personnel. The personnel must be trained, instructed and must be familiar with the system and the
potential dangers.

Technical documentation

They must be familiar with the technical documentation pertaining to the


system, especially the operating instructions for the engine and for the
accessories required for the operation of the engine. The relevant safety
regulations must receive particular attention.

Operations log

It is advisable, and may be required to meet the regulations of monitoring


authorities, to keep an operations log, where all the important work with the
completion dates, operating results and special events are recorded. When
the personnel is changed the new person should be able to continue the
operation in a proper manner based on this documentation. The machine
log also permits limited analysis of trends and tracing the cause of operational malfunctions.

Accident prevention regulations

When operating the engine, and during maintenance and overhauls, the
valid accident prevention regulations must be observed. It is advisable to
hang these specifications up in the engine room and to repeatedly indicate
the accident hazards.

Instructions below

The instructions below cover the measures to counteract the movement of


drive unit components and to the general precautions for work/events on
the engine, its neighbouring systems and in the machine room. They do not
claim to be comprehensive. Safety instructions at other points in the technical documentation are supplementary and are equally valid and must be
observed in a similar way.

Securing the crankshaft and components linked to it against movement


Before starting work on the running gear area or on components, which also
move with the rotating crankshaft, ensure that the crankshaft cannot be
turned over/the engine cannot be started.

Crankshaft

The non-observance of this warning could be life-threatening!

2008-03-14

There could be an unintended rotation of the crankshaft and movement of


the components coupled to it:

In the case of marine drive systems, due to the ship's motion or due to
water flow against the propeller in the case of a stationary ship,

In generator units due to operating faults when the mains voltage is


present,

due to unintended or negligent starting of the engine,

due to the unintended or negligent actuation of the engine turning


mechanism (turning gear).

Protective measures

Adopt the following protective measures:

Close/secure against opening, the isolation valves of the starter air and
control air vessels. Open the drain cocks in the air lines/on filters. Open
the release cocks on the main starter valve.

Engage engine turning mechanism, secure against switching on.

Engine turning mechanism

The engine turning mechanism must not be used as a holding brake in


double and multiple engine systems with the second engine running!

2 (6)

Fix the instruction sign to operating devices which are used to start the
engine.

In the case of generator units and in shaft alternators:

Secure the generator switch against switching on (especially on asynchronous generators). Fix warning sign. As far as possible, the fuses/
fuse elements should be opened.

In marine main engines with variable-pitch propeller:

Set climb gradient with engine at rest to zero thrust, not to zero.

On single engine installations with fixed or variable-pitch propellers:


The above measures must be carried out. No other measures are necessary.

In the case of multiple engine systems with reduction gear(s), on which


work is carried out on one engine, while the other one runs:
When using elastic couplings their rubber elements should be
removed.
When using elastic couplings with intermediate rings, the latter must
be removed, whereby the resultant free space must never be
bridged under any circumstances. Released coupling parts should
be supported if necessary.
If couplings are used between the engine and gearbox, they should
be completely removed. The switching off/opening of the coupling
and turning off the switching medium compressed air/oil is not sufficient.
If using couplings in the gearing, elastic couplings are to be partially
removed as described in the first two points.

In the case of engines with a mechanical excavator pump drive, in which


work is carried out on the excavator pump gear or on the excavator
pump, while the engine is running, the measures to be taken should be
in accordance with the above points.

Precautions for other work on the engine


Putting down of tools/auxiliary equipment

When using tools/auxiliary equipment, e.g. during fitting, repair and maintenance work, the following warning must be observed.

6680 3.2.5-01 EN

2008-03-14

Operation/Operating media
General

The resistance of the engine turning mechanism is not adequate reliably to


prevent rotation of the crankshaft. However, with the turning mechanism
engaged, starting is electrically blocked and the control air feed to the main
starter valve is interrupted.

MAN Diesel

3.2.5

Items (fitting tools, rags, lamps etc.) which are put down in the engine
space or onto the engine, can be snatched up by moving components
and thrown out. This can cause severe material damage and personal
injury.

Safety

Danger! Severe material damage and personal injury!

Never place items in the engine space or onto the engine!

Opening the crankcase cover Crankcase covers may only be opened 10 minutes after an alarm or engine

stop because of the elevated bearing temperatures or high oil mist concentrations.

Danger of explosion

Danger of explosion by incoming atmospheric oxygen, given that the


hot components and the operating fluids surrounding them could be at
ignition temperature.

Turning the engine over with


turning gear

When turning the engine over using the turning gearbox, amongst other
things, the following danger warning must be observed.

Danger to life

Reaching into open engine spaces whilst the engine is being turned over
with the turning gearbox can lead to severe personal injury or to death.
Danger of death! Do not reach into the motor space when the engine is
being turned over.
For further information also see the documentation of the installation.

Opening of pipes/pressure
vessels

Before opening pipes, flanges, cable glands or fittings, check that the system is pressure-free or has been drained.

Danger of burning

Removal and fitting of pipes

When removing, all pipes that are to be re-fitted, especially those for fuel,
lube oil and air must be closed off carefully. New ones that are to be fitted
must be checked carefully for cleanliness and must be flushed out if
required. You must ensure that, under no circumstances, foreign bodies
enter the system. If stored for a long time all individual parts must be preserved.

Use of hydraulic tensioning

Risk of injury

Danger of injuries from needle-sharp or razor-sharp hydraulic jets (jets


can penetrate your hand) or from tool parts being flung out if bolts
should break.

Dismantling/removal of heavy When dismantling or removing heavy components you must always ensure
that the transport equipment is in perfect condition and has the required
components
carrying capacity. The location where the items are to be put down must
also be capable of supporting the weight. This is not always the case on
galleries, stair landings or grid work covers.

De-tensioning compression
springs

In order to release the pressure from compression springs use the devices
provided for the purpose (see the relevant Work Card).

Risk of injury

Danger of injury due to the sudden release of spring forces/components.

Coverings

After assembly work, ensure that all coverings on moving parts as well as
insulation on hot parts are back in place. Engine operation with the coverings removed is permitted only in special cases e.g. during the functional
check of the valve rotation device.

Fire hazard.

Loose clothing and long hair could be snatched up. If you lose your balance, instinctively supporting yourself on moving parts can cause serious injuries.

Using self-locking hexagon


nuts

Use self-locking hexagon nuts only once.


They must be replaced after use in assembly by new self-locking hexagon
nuts.

must not be used for cleaning purposes.

Safety

Danger of explosion

Using anti-corrosion agents

Danger of explosion

Anti-corrosion agents can contain inflammable solvents which can form


explosive mixtures in enclosed spaces (see Work Card 000.14).

Using high pressure cleaning When using high pressure cleaning devices ensure that they are used properly. Shaft exits (even those with lip-type sealing rings), governors, splashdevices
proof monitoring systems, cable sockets as well as noise and heat insulation
under non-waterproof coverings must be covered or not cleaned using highpressure cleaning.

Other precautions
Failure of speed governor/
Overspeed protection

If the speed governor or the overspeed protection fails shut off the engine
immediately. Operation with a malfunctioning governor or overspeed protection should be tolerated only in exceptional situations, and the owner
bears the responsibility.

Fracture of running gear parts

A sudden release of the engine due to the release of the driving coupling
or de-excitation of the generator causes inadmissibly high speed if the
speed governor or overspeed protection is faulty, resulting in the fracture of running gear parts or the total destruction of the driven machine.

Fire hazard

The use of fuel and lube oil produces a potential danger of fire in the engineroom. Fuel and oil pipes must not be routed next to uninsulated engine
components (exhaust piping/turbocharger). After overhaul work on exhaust
piping and turbochargers all insulation and coverings must be re-fitted
carefully and completely. All fuel and oil pipes must be regularly checked
for leaks. Leaks should be rectified immediately.
Fire extinguishing units must be to hand. They must be checked regularly.
If fire breaks out the supply of fuel and oil must be stopped immediately
(stop the engine, turn the feed pumps off, close the valves) and you should
try to extinguish the fire using the hand fire extinguishers. If this is unsuc-

cessful, or if the engine-room is no longer accessible, then all openings must


be closed off to prevent the entry of air and thus to smother the fire. The
prerequisite is that all openings are sealed off (doors, roof-lights, ventilator
and extractor fans must be switched off, close-off chimneys as far as possible). A large volume of oxygen is required for fuel to burn. Isolation of the
fire source is thus one of the most effective methods of fire-fighting.

Danger to life

A carbon dioxide extinguishing system must only be put into operation


if it is absolutely certain that there is no-one remaining in the engine
room. Non-observance of this warning could be life-threatening! Nonobservance causes danger to life!
The temperature in the engine-room must not fall below +5 C. If the temperature falls below this temperature the coolant chambers must be drained
- in any case if the coolant does not contain antifreeze. Freezing could otherwise cause material cracks/damage to components.

Additional information

When transshipping and transferal MDO is treated as residue oil. This means
that there is a possibility that the oil is mixed with high-viscosity fuel or
interfuel, for example with remnants of such fuels in the bunker ship, which
could have a considerable detrimental effect on the main properties.
The oil must be free of used lube oil (ULO). A fuel can be considered free of
used lube oil if the elements Zn, P and Ca are present in levels less than the
following threshold values (Zn: 15 ppm, P: 15 ppm, Ca: 30 ppm).
The solidifying point indicates the temperature at which the oil no longer
flows. The lowest temperature which is acceptable for the fuel in the system
should be about 10 C above the solidifying point to make sure that the
pump properties are maintained.
The recommended fuel viscosity at the intake pipe of the injection pump is
10 ... 14 mm2/s
When using "Blended MDOs" (ISO-F-DMC) from different bunkers, that are
mixed together, incompatibility can arise because of the formation of sludge
in the fuel system, it may be that there is heavy sludge formation in the
separator, blocking of the filter, inadequate atomisation and to considerable
deposition of combustion products. We therefore recommend that the fuel
storage tank in question be drained as far as possible before loading new
fuel.
Seawater is particularly effective in causing corrosion of the fuel system and
to heat corrosion of the exhaust valves and the turbocharger. Seawater is
also the cause of inadequate vaporisation and thus of poor mixture creation
and combustion with a high proportion of combustion residues.
Solid foreign bodies increase mechanical wear and the formation of ash in
the cylinder.
If the engine is operated primarily with "Blended MDO", i.e. with ISO-FDMC, we recommend mounting a centrifugal separator in front of the fuel
filter. Separator throughput 65 % of the nominal throughput. Deposition
temperature 40 50 C. Solid particles (sand, rust and catalytic converter
particles) and water can thus be removed as far as possible, and the cleaning intervals of the filter elements can be extended considerably.

MAN Diesel

3.3.3

Prerequisites
MAN four stroke diesel engines can be operated with any heavy fuel derived
from crude oil which complies with the requirements in Table 1, provided
that the engine and fuel treatment plant are conceived accordingly. In order
to ensure that we maintain a favourable relationship between fuel costs,
spare parts and repair and maintenance expenditure, we recommend the
consideration of the following points.

Operating media

Quality of heavy fuels (HFO)

Heavy oil (HFO)


Origin/Refinery process

The quality of the heavy fuel depends to a great extent on the quality of the
crude oil and the refinery process that is employed. For this reason, heavy
fuels having the same viscosity can have markedly different properties
depending upon the place of bunkering. Heavy oil is usually a mixture of
residue oil and distillates. The components in the mixture generally originate
from state-of-the-art refinery processes, catalytic converter cracking plants,
for example. These processes can have a detrimental influence on the stability of the fuel and the ignition and combustion properties. These factors
are also generally have an influence on the treatment of the heavy fuel and
the operational results of the engine.
You should use bunkering locations with standardised heavy oil qualities, if
at all possible. If you purchase oils from independent dealers, you must
make sure that they comply with international specifications. The responsibility for selection of suitable heavy fuels remains that of the engine
operator.

Specifications

Fuels which can be used in an engine must comply with the specification to
ensure adequate quality. The threshold values for heavy fuels are given in
Table 1.
Observe the entries in the last column in Table 1 because these contain
important background information.

Important

The fuel properties from the results of analysis, even if the above conditions
are fulfilled, are possibly inadequate to determine the combustion properties
and stability of the fuel, i.e. the operational results dependent upon the
properties of the oil cannot be determined in advance. This applies particularly to the property of the oil to produce deposits in the combustion
chamber of injection systems in gas ducts and turbines. It may therefore be
necessary to exclude oils that may produce problems.

Mixtures

The addition of engine oils (used lube oil), additives not manufactured from
mineral oils, for example coal tar oil, and residual products from chemical
or other processes, such as solvents (polymers or chemical waste) is not
permitted. The reasons for this include the following: the abrasive and corrosive effects, the adverse combustion properties, the lack of compatibility

6680 3.3.3-01 EN

Operation/Operating media
General

2008-05-14

There are various different international specifications for heavy fuels. The
most important specifications are ISO 8217-2005 and CIMAC-2003. These
two specifications are more or less equivalent. Figure 1 shows the specification CIMAC-2003. All qualities from this specification up to K700 can be
used, provided that the fuel treatment system has been conceived for these
fuels, i.e. for heavy fuels having a maximum density of 1,010 kg/m3 which
can only be used with a modern separation system.

with mineral oils and, last but not least the damaging effects on the environment. The order placed for fuel must state clearly what is permissible
since this limitation is not included in the generally used fuel specifications.
The addition of engine oils (used lube oil) to the fuel presents a particular
danger because the addition of the lube oil acts as an emulsifier and lead
to the transportation of waste water and catalytic converter particles in fine
suspension. This hinders the required cleaning of the fuel. We, and other
manufacturers, have found that this has caused severe damage to engine
and turbocharger components arising from excessive wear.
A fuel can be considered free of used lube oil (ULO) if the elements Zn, P
and Ca are present in levels less than the following threshold values (Zn: 15
ppm, P: 15 ppm, Ca: 30 ppm).
The addition of chemical by-products, such as solutions, to the fuel is prohibited for environmental reasons by the Resolution of the IMO Marine
Environment Protection Committee dated 1st January 1992.

Leak oil collector

Leak oil collectors, which collect the leak oil, and the return and overflow
lines in the lube oil system must not have any connection to the fuel tank.
Leak oil lines must be drained into sludge containers.

The following information is intended for clarification of the relationship


between the quality of the heavy fuel, the heavy fuel preparation, the operation of the engine and the operational results.
Selection of heavy fuel
Economical running using heavy fuel which fulfils the threshold values in
Table 1, is possible under normal operating conditions with a properly operating system and regular maintenance. If these conditions are not met, we
must expect shorter times between refurbishment, increased wear and
greater consumption of spare parts. The required maintenance intervals and
the operational results determine which heavy fuel quality can be used.

Operating media

Supplementary Information

It is well-known that the price advantage falls off as the viscosity increases.
It is therefore always more economical to use a fuel with the highest possible
viscosity, which, in many cases, has a poorer quality.
Heavy fuels in accordance with ISO-RM A/B 30 or CIMAC A/B 30 guarantee
reliable operation of even older engines that were not conceived for the
heavy fuels that are available on the market a the present time. ISO-RMA
30 or CIMAC A30 with low pour point are to be preferred if the bunker system
cannot be heated.
Viscosity/Injection viscosity
Heavy fuels having a higher viscosity may have a lower quality. The maximum permissible viscosity depends upon the pre-heater system available
and the capacity (throughput) of the separator.
The prescribed injection viscosity of 12 14 mm2/s (for GenSets 16/24,
21/31, 23/30H, 27/38 and 28/32H: 12 - 18 cSt) and the fuel oil temperature
of the engine must be maintained. Only under these conditions is proper
atomisation and mixing guaranteed, thus providing residue-free combustion. In addition, this prevents mechanical overload of the injection system.
The prescribed injection viscosity and/or the required fuel temperature in
front of the engine can be taken from the viscosity temperature diagram.
Heavy fuel preparation
Problem-free engine operation depends in the main upon the level of care
taken in preparation of the heavy fuel. Particular care should be taken to
ensure that inorganic foreign bodies having strongly abrasive effects (catalytic converter particles, rust, sand) are effectively isolated. Practice has
shown that wear caused by abrasion in the engine increases considerably
with an aluminium or silicon content in excess of 15 mg/kg.

2008-05-14

Settling tank

The settling tank is used for pre-cleaning the heavy fuel. This pre-cleaning
will be more effective the longer the fuel remains in the tank, and the lower
the viscosity of the heavy fuel (maximum pre-heating temperature 75 C to
prevent the formation of asphalt in the heavy fuel). For heavy fuels having a
viscosity less than 380 mm2/s at 50 C one settling tank is adequate. If the
heavy fuel contains a high concentration of foreign bodies or if fuels in
accordance with ISO-F-RM, G/ H/K380 or H/K700 are to be used, two settling tanks will be required, whereby one must be large enough to provide
fuel for problem-free running over a 24 hour period. Before separating the

account when conceiving and setting the cleaning plant.

contents of the operating tank, water and sludge must be drawn out of the
settling tank.

Separators

For sucking out materials with higher specific density, e.g. water, foreign
bodies and sludge, a centrifugal separator is particularly suitable. The centrifugal separators must be self-cleaning (i.e. with automatically initiated
cleaning intervals).
Only separators of the latest generation may be used. They are very effective
over a wide range of density without having to switch over, and can separate
water from heavy fuels having a density of up to 1.01 g/ml at 15 C.
Table 2 shows the requirements of the separator. These threshold values
are used by the manufacturer as a dimensioning basis for the separator and
guarantee their fulfilment.
The specifications of the manufacturer must be maintained in order to achieve an optimum cleaning effect.

Application in ships and stationary application: Parallel combination

If you use a treatment process in accordance with MAN Diesel regulations


and, if the correct separators are selected, you can assume that the results
quoted in Table 2 for inorganic foreign bodies and water in the heavy fuel at
the entry to the engine can be achieved.
The results achieved in practice show that the maintenance of these values
particularly contribute to the fact that wear caused by abrasion in the injection system and in the engine remains within acceptable limits. In addition
to this, optimum lube oil treatment must be ensured.

6680 3.3.3-01 EN

2008-05-14

Operation/Operating media
General

The arrangement of the separator must must be in accordance with current


recommendations of the manufacturer of separators (AlphaLaval and Westfalia). In particular, the density and viscosity of the heavy fuel must be taken
into account. If you use different separators from other manufacturers you
should consult MAN Diesel.

Table 2: Achievable proportion of foreign bodies and water (after separation)

Water

Very thorough water separation is particularly important, since the water is


not present as a finely distributed emulsion, but rather in the form of large
drops. Water in this form promotes corrosion and sludge formation also in
the fuel system and therefore has a negative effect on the feed and atomisation and the combustion of the heavy fuel. If sea-water is involved as the
water that is taken up, damaging sodium chloride and other salts dissolved
in the water get into the engine.

Operating media

Definition

The water-containing sludge must be drawn off from the settling tank before
separation starts and at regular intervals from the operating tank. The tank
venting system must be designed in such a way that condensed water cannot flow back into the tanks.

Vanadium/Sodium

If the Vanadium/Sodium ratio is unfavourable, the melting temperature of


the heavy oil ash can fall into the range where the exhaust valve operates,
thus causing high temperature corrosion. Pre-cleaning of the heavy fuel in
the settling tank and in the centrifugal separators enables the water and the
sodium compounds dissolved in the water to be removed to a large degree.
If the sodium content is maximum one third of the vanadium content the
danger of high temperature corrosion is slight. We must also prevent
sodium, in the form of sea-water, from being drawn in with the air inlet to
the engine.
If the sodium content is greater than 100 mg/kg, heavy salt deposits are to
be expected in the combustion chamber and in the exhaust system. This
condition impedes the function of the engine (including the sucking in function of the turbocharger).

Ash

Heavy fuels with a high proportion of ash in the form of foreign bodies such
as sand, corrosion compounds and catalytic converter particles accelerate
mechanical wear in the engine. Catalytic converter particles can be present
from the catalytic cracking process. In most cases these catalytic converter
particles consist of aluminium silicate which cause high wear levels in the
injection system and the engine. The aluminium content determined, multiplied 5 to 8 times (depending upon the catalytic converter connection)
more or less equates to the proportion of catalytic converter residues in the
heavy fuel.

Homogeniser

If you use a homogeniser it must never be installed between the settling tank
and the separator since otherwise damaging contaminants, particularly seawater, cannot be adequately separated.
Flashpoint (ASTM D-93)
National and international regulations concerning transporting, storing with
application for fuels must be maintained with regard to the flashpoint. In
general, for fuels for diesel engines a flashpoint in excess of 60 C is stipulated.

6680 3.3.3-01 EN

Operation/Operating media
General

2008-05-14

Under certain conditions high temperature corrosion can be prevented by


a fuel additive, since the melting temperature of the heavy oil ash increases
(see also "Additives for heavy fuels").

3.3.3
Low-temperature behaviour (ASTM D-97)

Pour point

The pour point is the temperature at which the fuel is no longer fluid (pumpable). Since many heavy fuels having a low viscosity have a pour point above
0 C the bunkering plant must also be pre-heated unless fuel in accordance
with CIMACA30 is used. The entire bunkering system must be conceived in
such a way that pre-heating of the heavy fuel to about 10 C above the pour
point is possible.
Pump properties
Pump problems arise if the fuel has a viscosity in excess of 1,000 mm2/s
(CST) or if the temperature is not at least 10 C above the pour point. See
also "Cold behaviour (ASTM D-97)".
Combustion properties
At an asphalt content of more than two thirds of the coking residue (Conradson) delayed combustion can occur, which leads to increased formation
of combustion residues, for example as deposits on and in the injection
nozzles, increased smoke creation, reduced performance and increased
fuel consumption, together with a rapid increase in ignition pressure and
combustion close to the cylinder wall (thermal overload of the lube oil film).
If the ratio between asphalts and coking residues reaches the threshold
value 0.66 and if the asphalt content exceeds 8 %, additional analysis of the
heavy fuel (thermo-gravimetric analysis TGA) must be carried out by MAN
Diesel in order to confirm the suitability. A similar trend is effected by the
mixture constituents of incompatible heavy fuels or by different or incompatible bunker fluids which are mixed together. As a result we see increased
separation of asphalt (see "Compatibility").
Ignition quality
These days, thin mixing components of heavy fuels are preferably cracking
products, in order to achieve the stipulated reference viscosity, but these
possibly have bad ignition properties. The cetane number of these combinations should be greater than 35. An increased aromatics content (more
than 35 %) also leads to a deterioration in ignition quality.

8 (12)

Pre-heating the charge air in part load running and reduction of initial performance output for a limited time are possible measures for the reduction
in the disadvantages of fuels with bad ignition properties. More effective,
however, is a high compression ratio and operational matching of the injection system to the ignition properties of the fuel being used, as in the piston
engines by MAN Diesel.
The ignition quality is one of the most decisive properties of the fuel. This
value does not appear in the international specifications because there is
no standardised test method. The parameters, such as the calculated aromatic index (CCAI) are therefore aids from which the determinable fuel
properties can be derived. We have found that these methods are suited to
provide a rough determination of the ignition quality of the heavy fuel being
used.

6680 3.3.3-01 EN

2008-05-14

Operation/Operating media
General

Heavy fuels with bad ignition properties have a longer ignition delay and a
delayed combustion, which can lead to thermal overload of the oil film on
the cylinder liner and to high cylinder pressures. The ignition delay and the
resulting pressure increase in the cylinder are influenced by the end temperature and the compression pressure, i.e. by the compression ratio, the
charge air pressure and the charge air temperature.

MAN Diesel

3.3.3

Since the liquid components of the heavy fuel have a decisive influence on
the ignition quality and the flow properties and the combustion quality, the
bunkering company is obliged to supply a heavy fuel quality which is suitable for the diesel engine. (see Figure 3).

Operating media

A test instrument has been developed on the principle of constant volume


combustion (fuel ignition property analyser FIA), which is being tested by a
series of test laboratories at the present time.
The ignition quality of a fuel is determined as an ignition delay in the instrument and converted to an instrument-dependent Cetane number (FIA-CN
or ECM). It was found that heavy fuels having low FIA Cetane numbers or
ECN numbers, in certain cases, cause operational problems.

below the acid dewpoint, acid corrosion, even when using alkaline lube oil,
can no longer be adequately prevented.

Compatibility
The supplier must guarantee that the heavy fuel is homogeneous and
remains stable even after the end of the usual storage period. If various
different bunker fuels are mixed together separation can occur which is
associated with the formation of sludge in the fuel system and which produce large sludge blockages in the separator, block the filter, hinder atomisation and lead to combustion with high levels of residue.

Operating media

If the lube oil quality and engine cooling fulfil the requirements, the BN values
are appropriate (see Section 3.3.6), depending upon the sulphur concentration in the heavy fuel.

These cases can be traced back to incompatibility or instability. The heavy


fuel storage tanks should therefore be drained as far as possible before rebunkering to avoid incompatibility.
Mixing the heavy fuel
If, for example, heavy fuel for the main engine is mixed with gasoil (MGO) to
produce the required heavy oil quality or viscosity for the auxiliary engines,
the components must always be compatible (see "Compatibility").
Additives for heavy fuels
MAN Diesel SE engines can be operated economically without additives. It
is the responsibility of the customer to decide whether the use of additives
has advantages. The supplier of the additive must guarantee that the use of
the product does not have a detrimental effect on the operation of the
engine.
The use of heavy fuel additives during the warranty period is absolutely
prohibited.
Additives that are used in diesel engines at the present time are listed in the
following table, including their probable effects on the operation of the
engine.

Heavy fuels having a low sulphur content


From the point of view of the engine manufacturer there can be no lower
limit for the sulphur content of heavy fuels. We have not found any problems
with the low-sulphur heavy fuels, currently available commercially, which
can be traced back to sulphur content or a specially low sulphur content in
the heavy fuel. This may change in future if new processes are used for
producing low-sulphur heavy fuels (desulphurisation, new mixing components). MAN Diesel will watch the developments and will inform their customers if necessary.

If the engine is not operated with low-sulphur heavy fuel all the time the lube
oil should be chosen for the highest sulphur content of the fuels to be used.

Tests
Sampling

In order to check whether the specifications and/or the required supply


conditions are being met, we recommend keeping a sample of each bunker
oil (at least for the duration of the warranty period of the engine). In order to
ensure that the sample is a representative sample of the bunkered oil, a
sample should be taken from the transfer line when starting, at half way and
at the end of the bunkering time. Sample Tec, supplied by Mar-Tec Hamburg is a suitable test instrument for continuous sampling during bunkering.

Sample analysis

The samples provided by the bunkering company are often not identical
with the actual bunkered heavy fuel. It is also beneficial to carry out a check
of the heavy fuel properties quoted in the bunker documents, such as density and viscosity. If these values do not agree with the values of the
bunkered heavy fuel there is a danger that the heavy fuel separators and the
pre-heating temperatures are not matched exactly to the injection viscosity.
The criteria for economical operation of the engine with heavy fuel and the
use of the correct lube oil can be determined using the fuel and lube oil
analysis set provided by MAN Diesel.
Our department for fuel and lube oils (Augsburg factory, Department GQC)
would be pleased to provide further information upon request.

A heavy fuel having a viscosity of 180 mm2/s at 50 C reaches, at 24 C (Line


e), a viscosity of 1,000 mm2/s, this is the maximum permissible viscosity at
which the pump can still pump the fuel.
When using a last pre-heater in accordance with state-of-the-art technology, using saturated steam at 8 bar, a heavy fuel drain temperature of 152
C is achieved. At higher temperatures there is a danger that residues will
be formed in the pre-heater which will lead to a reduction in the heating
performance and to a thermal overload of the heavy fuel. This results in the
formation of asphalt i.e. a deterioration in quality.
The heavy fuel lines from the drain from the last pre-heater to the injection
valve must be insulated accordingly in order to limit the temperature drop
to a maximum of 4 C. Only in this case can the required injection viscosity
of 14 mm2/s for heavy fuels with a reference viscosity of 700 mm2/s at 50
C be achieved (the maximum viscosity in accordance with international
specifications such as ISO CIMAC or British Standards). If a heavy fuel having a lower reference viscosity is used, an injection viscosity of 12 mm2/s
must be strived for in order to achieve better atomisation of the heavy fuel,
thus producing less combustion residue.
The feed pump is to be designed for a heavy fuel viscosity up to 1,000
mm2/s. Whether the pump is capable of feeding the heavy fuel depends
upon the solidifying point. The design of the bunkering system must permit
heating the heavy fuel to about 10 C above the solidifying point.
Gasoil or diesel oil (marine diesel oil) must have a viscosity of at least 2
mm2/s in front of the engine. If the viscosity is too low, seizing of the
pump piston or the jet needle valves can be caused by inadequate lubrication.
This can be avoided if the fuel temperature is monitored. The maximum
permissible temperature depends upon the viscosity of the fuel, but must
never exceed the following values:

with gas oil maximum 50 C and

with MDO maximum 60 C.

For this reason it is necessary to fit a fuel cooler.

Quality of lube oils (SAE 40) for heavy fuel operation (using HFO)
The specific initial performance produced by modern diesel engines and the
use of fuels that reach the quality limits ever more often increase the requirements on the lube oil and require careful selection of the lube oil.
Lube oils having medium alkalinity have proven to be well-suited for the
lubrication of moving components and for lubrication of the cylinder of the
turbocharger and for cooling the pistons. Lube oils of medium alkalinity
contain additives which ensure, amongst other things, a higher neutralisation reserve than purely alloyed engine oils (HD oils).

Operating media

Quality of lube oils (SAE 40) for heavy fuel operation (using HFO)

There are no international specifications for lube oils having medium alkalinity. It is therefore necessary to carry out a corresponding test run of
adequate duration in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
You may only use lube oils approved by MAN Diesel. They are listed in Table
5.

Specifications
Base oil

The base oil (alloyed lube oil = base oil + additives) must be a narrow distillation section and be refined by modern methods. Paraffins, if they are
present, must affect neither the thermal stability nor the oxidation stability
negatively.
The base oil must conform to the threshold values given in the table below,
especially with regard to resistance to ageing.

Additive

The additives must be dissolved in the oil and have a composition which
leaves as little ash as possible, even if the engine is operated temporarily
using distillate oil.
The ash must be soft: If this condition is not met you must expect increased
amounts of deposits in the combustion chamber, particularly on the exhaust
valves and on the inlet housing of the turbocharger. Hard additive ash promotes pitting on the valve seats and burning away of the valves and
increases mechanical wear in the cylinder liners.
Additives must not accelerate filter element blocking, either in the active or
consumed condition.

Washability

The washability must be at such a level that neither tar nor coke residues
from combustion can deposit. The lube oil must not take up any deposits
produced by the fuel.

Dispersion capability

The dispersion capability must be selected in such a way that common lube
oil cleaning systems can remove harmful contaminants from the used oil,
that is to say that the oil must have good separation and filter properties.

Diesel properties

The properties must comply with the minimum requirements of MIL-L 2104
D or API-CD (without taking into account the neutralisation).

Neutralisation capability

The neutralisation capability (ASTM-D2896) must be so high that the acidic


products created during combustion are neutralised. The response time of
the additives must be matched to the processes in the combustion chamber.
Tips for selecting the base number can be taken from Table 3.

Evaporation tendency

The evaporation tendency must be as low as possible, otherwise the oil


consumption will be negatively affected.

Other conditions

The lube oil must not form stable emulsions with water. After one hour a
maximum of 40 ml of emissions must have been formed, according to the
ASDM-D1410 test.
The foaming behaviour (ASTM-D892) must satisfy the following condition:
Less than 20 ml after 10 minutes.
The lube oil must not contain viscosity index improvers. Fresh oil must not
contain any water or any other contaminants.

Operation with low-sulphur


fuels

In order to maintain emission regulations, these days we use fuels with various different sulphur contents. In environmentally-sensitive areas (SECA) a
fuel with low sulphur content must be used. Outside the SECA zones you
may use a fuel with a higher sulphur content. In this case the BN number of
the lube oil must be selected to comply with the requirements for operation
with sulphur-rich fuels. Only in the case of exclusive operation with lowsulphur fuel can you use lube oil having a lower BN number.
The final criterion for the decision concerning which additive component is
permitted is, however, the practical result of the most economical engine
operation.

Cylinder lube oil

On engines with a separate cylinder lubrication the pistons and cylinder liners are supplied with lube oil by a separate lube oil pump. The volume of
lube oil is set in the factory in accordance with the fuel to be used and the
operating conditions that are to be expected.
A lube oil as specified above is to be used for the cylinder and circulation
lubrication.

Speed governor

On mechanical-hydraulic governors with separate oil sump you should preferably use 5W-40 multigrade oil. If this oil is not available when filling you
can, under exceptional circumstances, use a 15W-40 oil. In doing so it does
not matter if multi-coloured oils based on synthetic or mineral oil are used.
(Designation for armed forces in Germany: O-236)
The oil quality specified by the manufacturer must be used for the remaining
plant components on the engine.

2008-05-14

Lube oil additives

The inclusion of additives in the lube oil or the mixing of different brands
(oils from different manufacturers) of lube oils is not permitted since the
performance of the carefully matched additives, that are made to measure
for the base oil, can be affected. In this case the lube oil manufacturer (lube
oil supplier) also no longer can guarantee the lube oil properties.

Selection of lube oil/Guarantee

The majority of mineral oil companies have close and continuous contact
with engine manufacturers and can therefore state which oil from its own
product line is approved by the engine manufacturer for the application.
Independently of this information, the lube oil manufacturer always provides

Oil in use

There are no prescribed oil change intervals for MAN Diesel medium range
engines. The oil properties must be checked at regular intervals. As long as
the oil properties are within the defined threshold values (see threshold values table) the oil can continue be used. An oil sample must be analysed
every one to three months (see maintenance schedule). The quality of the
oil can only be maintained if the oil is cleaned using suitable equipment (e.g.
a separator).

Preliminary Remarks
The engine coolant is a medium which, like the fuel and the lube oil, must
be carefully selected, treated and monitored. Otherwise the walls of the
cooling system which come into contact with the coolant can suffer corrosion, erosion and cavitation, and deposits can also build up. Deposits hinder
heat transfer and can lead to thermal overload of the parts to be cooled.
Treatment with corrosion-protection agents must be carried out before the
installation is commissioned for the first time. When operating later the concentrations stipulated by the engine manufacturer must be maintained. This
is particularly the case with chemical additives.

The MAN Diesel water testing unit contains equipment for simple determination of the above water properties. The manufacturers of corrosion preventatives also supply user-friendly testing equipment. You will find notes
concerning coolant monitoring on Work Card 000.07.

Distillate

If distilled water (for example from a fresh water producer) or fully desalinated water (ion exchange) is available, this should be used preferably as
engine coolant. This water is free from lime and metallic salts, i.e. no deposits can be created which would reduce the transfer of heat to the coolant,
thus reducing the cooling effect. This type of water is, however, more corrosive than normal hard water, since no thin film of lime deposit forms on
the walls which represents temporary protection against corrosion. For this
reason, distilled water must be treated carefully and the concentration of
the additive must be checked at regular intervals.

Hardness

The overall water hardness is composed of temporary and permanent hardness. Of primary importance are the proportions of calcium and magnesium
salts. The temporary hardness is determined by the carbonate content of
the calcium and magnesium salts. The permanent hardness depends upon
the proportion of the remaining calcium and magnesium salts (sulphates).

3.3.7

The determining factor for the formation of lime deposits in the cooling system is the temporary (carbonate) hardness.
Water with a total hardness of 10dGH must be mixed with distilled water
or softened. Hardening of especially soft water is only required to reduce
the tendency to foaming when using emulsifying corrosion protection oils.

Damage to the coolant system


Corrosion

Corrosion is an electrochemical process which can be prevented to a great


degree if the correct water quality is selected and if the engine cooling system and the coolant are handled carefully.

Flow cavitation

Flow cavitation can occur in areas with high flow rates and high levels of
turbulence. If the vaporisation pressure is reached vapour bubbles are created which then collapse in areas of high pressure and thus cause material
damage to constricted areas.

Erosion

Erosion is a mechanical process with material removal and destruction of


protective films by swept-along solid material, especially in areas with high
flow rates or with high levels of turbulence.

Fretting corrosion

Corrosion fatigue is a damage mechanism caused by simultaneous dynamic


and corrosive load. This can lead to the formation of cracks and to rapid
crack propagation in water-cooled, mechanically stressed components, if
the coolant has not been properly treated.

Treatment of the engine coolant


Formation of a protective film The treatment of the engine coolant is intended to produce a continuous

protective film on the walls of the cooling surfaces by the use of corrosion
protection agents, in order to prevent the damage described above. A significant pre-condition to making the corrosion protection agent fully effective is untreated water which fulfils the requirements listed under
Requirements.
Protective films can be formed by treating the coolant with a chemical corrosion prevention agent or an emulsifying corrosion protection oil.
Emulsifying corrosion protection oils are used less and less often since their
use, on the one hand, has been restricted from an environmental point of
view, and, on the other hand, because the suppliers hardly ever offer these
products for this and other reasons.

Operation of the engine without treating the coolant is prohibited.

Operation/Operating media
General

Treatment before initial com- The treatment with a corrosion prevention agent should take place before
the engine is commissioned for the first time, in order to prevent irreparable
missioning of the engine

Additives for coolants


Only those additives may be used which have approval by MAN Diesel and
which are listed in Tables 2 -5.

6680 3.3.7-01 EN

MAN Diesel
A coolant additive can be permitted if it has been tested and approved in
accordance with current regulations of the research association for combustion powered machines (FVV) "Testing of suitability of coolant additives
for cooling liquids in engines with internal combustion". If requested, the
test report must be capable of being presented for inspection. The relative
tests are carried out if required by the state materials testing agency, surface
technology department, Grafenstrasse 2, D-64283 Darmstadt.
If the coolant additive has been tested by the FVV, an engine test must be
carried out for the final issue of an approval.

Only in closed circuits

Operating media

Approval required

3.3.7

Additives must only be used in closed circuits where no considerable consumption is evident with the exception of leaks and evaporation losses.
Chemical additives
Additives based on sodium nitrite and sodium borate etc. have proven to
be effective. Galvanised iron pipes or sacrificial zinc anodes must not be
used in cooling systems. On the one hand, this corrosion protection is not
necessary since the coolant treatment is stipulated and, on the other hand,
the coolant temperatures experienced these days can possibly lead to an
inversion. If necessary the piping must be de-galvanised.
Anti-corrosion oil
This additive is an emulsifiable mineral oil with additives for corrosion protection. A thin film of protective oil forms on the walls of the cooling system
which prevents corrosion without affecting the transfer of heat and which
also therefore prevents the formation of deposits on the walls of the cooling
system.
Emulsifiable anti-corrosion oils have become less important. For reasons of
environmental protection and because of stability problems with emulsions,
oil emulsions are rarely used today.
Antifreeze agent
If temperatures below the freezing point of water cannot be excluded in the
engine, the coolant system or its components must be protected by an
antifreeze agent which also acts as a corrosion inhibitor in the coolant. Otherwise, the entire system must be heated. (Designation for armed forces in
Germany: Sy-7025).

2008-05-29

Antifreeze agents are generally based on ethylene glycol. A suitable chemical additive must be added if the concentration of the antifreeze agent that
the user stipulates for a specific application is inadequate to provide adequate corrosion protection or if, on the basis of reduced requirements of the
frost preventative, a lower concentration of antifreeze agent can be
employed than would be required to provide suitable corrosion protection.
Information concerning the compatibility of the antifreeze agent and the
corrosion protection agent and the required concentrations can be obtained
from the manufacturers. Compatibility of the chemical additives in Table 2
with the antifreeze agents based on ethylene glycol is confirmed. Antifreeze
agents may only be mixed together with the approval of the manufacturer,
even if the agents have the same composition.

6680 3.3.7-01 EN

Operation/Operating media
General

Adequate corrosion protection can be achieved by the addition of the products listed in Table 5, whilst maintaining the prescribed concentration. This
concentration prevents freezing up at temperatures down to -22 C. The
volume of actually required antifreeze agent always depends, however,
upon the lowest temperatures that are to be expected in the application
concerned.

3 (7)

MAN Diesel

Operating media

3.3.7

The cooling system must be cleaned thoroughly before the antifreeze agent
is used.
If the coolant contains an emulsifing corrosion protection oil you must not
add an antifreeze agent since otherwise the emulsion will be broken up and
oil sludge will be formed in the cooling system.
Observe the relevant environmental protection regulations when disposing
of coolant with additives. Information can be obtained from the supplier of
the additives.
Biocides
If the use of biocides is unavoidable because the coolant is contaminated
with bacteria, please observe the following steps:

You must make sure that the suitable biocide is used for the specific
application.

The biocide is compatible with the sealing materials used in the cooling
water system and will not attack them.

Neither the biocide nor its products of decomposition contain corrosionpromoting constituents. Biocides whose decomposition products contain chlorine or sulphate ions are not permitted.

Biocides whose use causes the coolant to foam are not permitted.

Prerequisites for effective use of a corrosion preventative agent


Clean cooling system
Before starting the engine for the first time and after repairs to the piping
system, you must make sure that the tanks, pipes, coolers and other parts
outside the engine are free from rust and other deposits because contamination considerably reduces the effectivity of the additives. The entire
system must therefore be cleaned with a suitable cleaning agent when the
engine is turned off (see Work Card 000.03 and 000.08 by MAN Diesel).

4 (7)

The agents used for cleaning must not attack the seals and materials of the
cooling system. These tasks are normally carried out by the supplier of the
coolant additive, or they can, at least, offer suitable products for this purpose. If these tasks are carried out by the engine operator, the services of
a cleaning agent specialist should be employed. The cooling system must
be flushed thoroughly after cleaning. The engine coolant must then be treated immediately with a corrosion protection agent. After the engine is taken
back into service the cleaned system must be checked for leaks.
Regular testing of the coolant condition and the coolant system
Treated coolant can become contaminated during operation and the additive then loses part of its effect. It is therefore advisable to check the
condition of the coolant at regular intervals.
The concentration of the additive must be checked at least once a week
using the test kit provided by the manufacturer. The results must be documented.

6680 3.3.7-01 EN

2008-05-29

Operation/Operating media
General

In particular, loose solids must be removed from the system by intensive


flushing, since otherwise corrosion can occur at points of high flow rate.

MAN Diesel

3.3.7

Concentration levels which are too low can promote corrosion and must be
avoided. Concentrations which are slightly higher will not cause any damage. Concentrations which are more than double those recommended
should be avoided.

Operating media

The concentrations of the chemical additives must not fall below the
minimum concentrations listed in Table 2.

Every 2 - 6 months you should send a sample of coolant to an independent


laboratory or to the engine manufacturer and have a complete analysis carried out.
Emulsifying antifreeze agents must generally be replaced every 12 months
or so, in accordance with the instructions from the manufacturer. In the
event of such a replacement, the entire cooling system must be flushed and
cleaned if necessary. The fresh water poured in must be treated immediately.
If chemical additives or antifreeze agents are used, the coolant must be
replaced after 3 years at the latest.
If there is a elevated concentration of solids (rust) the water must be
replaced completely and the entire system must be cleaned carefully.
The causes for deposits in the cooling system can be liquids which enter
the coolant, breakdown of the emulsion, corrosion in the system and lime
deposits caused by elevated hardness levels. An increase in the content of
chloride ions is generally an indication of seawater ingress. The quoted
maximum of 50 mg of chloride ions per kg must not be exceeded since
otherwise the danger of corrosion is too high. The ingress of exhaust gases
in the coolant can lead to a sudden drop in the pH value or to an increase
in the sulphate content.
Water losses must be replaced by adding untreated water in accordance
with the quality requirements in the section Requirements The concentration
of the corrosion preventative must then be checked and corrected if necessary.
Coolant checks are required particularly after repairs or maintenance tasks
where the coolant has to be drained away.

Protective measures

2008-05-29

Avoid extended contact with the skin. Wash your hands thoroughly after
use. If larger amounts splash onto clothing and/or cause soaking, change
your clothes and wash them before wearing them again.
If chemicals enter your eyes rinse immediately with plenty of water and
consult a doctor.
Corrosion protection agents are generally damaging to the water circuit.
Coolant can only be drained into the sewage system if the relevant authorities have first been consulted. The corresponding legal regulations must be
observed.

Monitoring is important
The engine oil and coolant must be monitored during use since contamination and acidification limits the use of the lube oil, and if the quality of the
water is inadequate or the proportion of coolant additive in the coolant is
too low this can cause damage to the engine.
With engines using heavy fuel it is also important to monitor the specific
heavy fuel characteristics for optimum heavy fuel treatment. You cannot
always be sure that the values stated in the bunkering papers are applicable

General
The quality and condition of the aspired air (combustion air) have a considerable influence on the engine performance output. Not only are the atmospheric conditions of great importance, but also the contamination by solid
and gaseous foreign bodies.
Mineral dust in the aspired air increases wear. Chemicals and gases promote corrosion.

Operating media

Quality of aspired air (combustion air)

For this reason, effective cleaning of the inlet air (combustion air) and regular
maintenance/cleaning of the air filter is required.
When designing the air aspiration system you must take into account the
fact that the total air pressure drop (filter, silencer, piping) must be maximum
20 bar.

Preparations for start after short downtimes


Activate/check the systems

Turn on the pumps for fuel, lube oil and coolant. Prime the engine lubrication. After a downtime exceeding 12 hours, also open the indicator cocks
and turn the running gear with turning-over gearbox by approx. 3 rotations.
Check whether coolant and lubricating oil are preheated. Set the shut-off
elements in all systems to the operating position. The engine is then ready
to be started.

Recommendation: Starting
with diesel oil

With engines running on heavy fuel we recommend starting the engine with
diesel oil and then switching over to heavy fuel after reaching the operating
temperature. Starting the engine with heavy fuel is possible if the necessary
heaters are fitted or if the heavy fuel ist still hot enough.
Engine start is initiated by a pulse transmitted through the valve M 388/1 to
valve M 329/1 in the operating device on the engine. In an emergency, valve
M 329/1 can be actuated manually.
Moreover, the specifications for the control and monitoring system for stationary engines are to be observed.

Preparations for starting with heavy fuel


If the required heating devices are available, the engine can also be started
with heavy fuel. Proceed as follows:

Working steps

Switch on pump for cylinder coolant and then switch on the preheating
device. Required temperature approx. 60 C.

Switch on pump for injection valve coolant and then switch on the preheating device. Required temperature approx. 55 C.

Switch on the preheating device for lubricating oil (Heating coil in the
service tank) or preheat lubricating oil in the bypass (Separator circuit).
Required temperature approx. 40 C.

Operative management I - Putting engine into operation

Starting preparations/Starting and stopping the engine

Switch on the fuel pump and then the heaters for the mixer tank, heavy
fuel pipes and final preheater. The temperature of the heavy fuel in the
service tank must always be maintained at approx. 75 C.

If the required temperatures are reached, and the viscosity of the heavy
fuel before the injection pumps corresponds to the specification (see
section 3.3), the engine can be started.

Starting preparations after a prolonged standstill or after overhaul work


After overhaul work, or a prolonged standstill (several weeks), the following
work has to be carried out before the engine is started:

Switch on feed pump, bleed injection pumps, pipes and filters.

Check zero charge on the control rod of each injection pump and the
ease of movement of the rod.

For heavy fuel operation: Start the heating equipment (unless permanently on) and check it.

Switch off the feed pump and the heating for the final preheater again
(danger of overheating).

Deslurry the coolant tank, coolers, pumps and pipes (engine, injection
valves, charge air cooler).

Fill with coolant, check concentration of the corrosion inhibitor.

Switch on coolant pumps or standby pumps (engine and injection


valves).

Check coolant chambers and all connections for tightness.

Check or open the leak water flow in the cylinder liner seal in the support
ring and in the charge air cooler housing to check for leaks.

Check coolant pressure and water volume in the expansion tank.

Check the expansion tank for deposited corrosion inhibitor oil (cylinder
cooling) and separated out fuel (injection valve cooling).

Switch off coolant pumps.

Pump out lubricating oil (from the sump and) from the reservoir tank and
clean oil chambers (do not forget exhaust turbocharger).

Clean oil filter, separators and oil cooler.


Add fresh lube oil or separate the existing fill.

Put all cocks into the operating position and switch on the electrically
driven lubricating oil pump or standby pump.

Check the running gear, the injection pumps and valve drive to ensure
that all bearing points are supplied with oil.

Check pipe connections and pipes for leaks.

Control lubricating oil pressure in front of the engine and in front of the
exhaust turbocharger.

Disengage the turning-over gearbox again and shut off the lube oil
pump.

When the indicator cocks are open, turn running gear with turning-over
gearbox by 2 rotations or activate "slow turn" instead. Ensure that there
is no escape of liquid at the indicator cocks.

preheating temperatures have been reached, put the shut-off elements
to the operating position, switch on the fuel, lubricating oil and cooling
water pumps, provided these are not fitted to the engine, and start the
engine. Operate the engine at low speed for approx. 10 minutes.

Monitor the display devices during operation.

Once the engine is running properly it should be loaded or shut down.


Avoid idling for a prolonged period. The engine should reach the operating temperature as quickly as possible since it is subject to increased
wear when cold.

potential defects immediately, even if they do not seem to be important.

In the event of a frost hazard, if no antifreeze agent is used, ensure that


the cooling water is completely drained to prevent the cooling areas
from bursting as a result of freezing.

Shutting down the engine from heavy fuel operation


If the engine has to be shut off immediately after operation on heavy fuel the
following points need to be taken into consideration:

If the engine is restarted after a few minutes it is sufficient if the heating


equipment and one feed pump are kept in operation.

When the engine is expected to be out of commission for a longer period


of time, the mixing vessels and the pipes of the fuel module must be
flooded with diesel fuel from the diesel fuel service tank (see the manual
for the fuel module - technical documentation / engine and accessories
in Volume E1).

The injection pipes from the injection pump to the injection valves and
the injection nozzles themselves cannot be flushed. Sooner or later the
heavy fuel remnants inside congeals, depending on the viscosity used.
Before the engine is put into operation again, these parts may have to
be removed, heated and emptied if there are no special heating systems
available for starting the engine with heavy fuel.

Simultaneously, the speed governor is affected in such a way that the control linkage of the governor is also set to a zero charge.
This emergency stop device is triggered in two ways, as follows:
1. Automatically by a monitoring device (oil pressure detector, coolant

Switching from diesel oil operation to heavy fuel oil operation


Preliminary Remarks

During long-term diesel fuel operation the user should closely monitor the
diesel fuel temperature. Under these circumstances, the maximum temperature limit may be exceeded in engines equipped with a fuel pressure
system for heavy fuel operation, due to the return flow of hot diesel oil into
the mixing tank. A temperature which is too high indicates low viscosity and
lubrication capacity with corresponding danger to the injector pumps. For
this reason, in this case, the stop-cocks in the return line must be set so that
the diesel oil returns to the diesel oil service tank, and not to the mixer tank
(see section 2.4 or plant-specific fuel schematic drawing).
When the system is switched over to heavy fuel oil, the fuel return must
also be switched back to the mixing vessel. Otherwise, the heavy fuel
oil will end up in the diesel fuel operating tank.

Prerequisites

Working steps

Engine is running on diesel fuel. Components are at operating temperature.

Heater system is operational. Heavy fuel temperature in the service tank


is continuously kept at approx. 75 C.

Turn on the available heater systems for the mixing tank and heavy fuel
pipes.

Switch three-way cock to heavy fuel operation (see system-specific fuel


pipe diagram).

In systems with a viscosity measuring device and manual control of the


preheating temperature: Regulate the heating power of the final preheater according to the data of the viscosity measuring device, so that
the desired viscosity is available at the injection pumps. The viscosity
value may be determined in the viscosity temperature diagram. (It is
dependent on the heavy fuel used).

In systems with automatic regulation of the heavy fuel viscosity: The


viscosity regulating unit is set when the system is put into operation.
Under normal circumstances these settings should not be altered.

Coolant output from the cylinders should be kept at approx. 80 C.


These values should be taken as the absolute minimum requirement in
case heavy fuel with a high sulphur content is used.

Engine power must be reduced to 70%.

2007-09-26

Switching from heavy fuel oil operation to diesel fuel operation


Preliminary observations

On engines predominantly designed for operation with heavy oil, the fuel
injectors are cooled while running on heavy oil. For lengthier operation with
diesel oil (MGO or MDO, exceeding 72 hours, the nozzle cooling is to be
switched off and the supply line shut off. The return line must be kept open.

1 (2)

MAN Diesel
Working steps

Approximately 30 minutes prior to turning off the engine, the three-way


cock should be switched to diesel fuel (see fuel line installation diagram).

Turn off the final pre-heater for installations in which this is manually
controlled.

The engine may be turned off as soon as the heavy fuel oil in the supply
lines has been consumed and replaced by diesel fuel.

Turn off all heater units (if necessary).

Switching to diesel fuel has the advantage that the engine is always
ready for starting without the necessity of pre-heating the installation
for hours. Service and overhaul work is substantially easier when the
lines and the injection system are filled with diesel fuel.

Prerequisites
Engines require a run-in period:

when put into operation on-site, if after test run the pistons or bearings
were dismantled for inspection or if the engine was partially or fully dismantled for transport.

after fitting new drive train components, such as cylinder liners, pistons,
piston rings, crankshaft bearings, big-end bearings and piston pin bearings.

after the fitting of used bearing shells.

after long-term low-power operation (> 500 operating hours)

Supplementary Information
Adjustment required

During the run-in procedure the unevenness of the piston-ring surfaces and
cylinder contact surfaces is removed. The run-in period is completed once
the first piston ring perfectly seals the combustion chamber. I.e. the first
piston ring should show an evenly worn contact surface. If the engine is
subjected to higher loads, prior to having been run in, then the hot exhaust
gases will pass between the piston rings and the contact surfaces of the
cylinder. The oil film will be will be destroyed in such locations. The result is
material damage (e.g. burn marks) on the contact surface of the piston rings
and the cylinder liner. Later, this may result in increased engine wear and
high oil consumption.
The time until the run-in procedure is completed is determined by the properties and quality of the surfaces of the cylinder liner, the quality of the fuel
and lube oil, as well as by the engine's load and speed. The run-in periods
indicated in illustrations 1 or 2 may therefore only be regarded as approximate values.

Fuel

The run-in period may be carried out using diesel fuel or heavy fuel. The fuel

Lube oil

The run-in lube oil must match the quality standards (see section 3.3), with
regard to the fuel quality.

Flushing the lube oil system

Thorough flushing of the total lube oil system must be carried out prior
to the engine's initial operation. (See Work Card 000.03).

Operation/Operating media
General

For the run-in of gas four-stroke engines it is best to use the gas which is
to be used later in operation. Diesel-gas engines are run in using diesel
operation with the fuel intended as the ignition oil.

MAN Diesel

Operative management I - Putting engine into operation

3.4.4
Engine run-in
Cylinder lubrication

The cylinder lubrication must be switched to "Running In" mode during


completion of the run-in procedure. This is done at the control cabinet or at
the control panel (under "Manual Operation"). This ensures that the cylinder
lubrication is already activated over the whole load range when the engine
starts. The run-in process of the piston rings and pistons benefits from the
increased supply of oil. Cylinder lubrication must be returned to "Normal
Mode" once the run-in period has been completed.

Checks

Inspections of the bearing temperature and crankcase must be conducted


during the run-in period:

The first inspection must take place after 10 minutes of operation at


minimum speed.

An inspection must take place after operation at full load.

The bearing temperatures (camshaft bearings, big-end bearings and main


bearings) must be determined in comparison with adjoining bearing. For this
purpose an electrical sensor thermometer may be used as a measuring
device.
At 85% load after having reached full power, the operating data (ignition
pressures, exhaust gas temperatures, charge pressure, etc.) must be tested
and compared with the acceptance report.

Standard run-in programme

For generator engines, the speed is initially increased to the nominal speed
in the prescribed time period, prior to the load being turned on. The engine's
output power should remain within the power range as indicated in the figures. Critical speed ranges should be avoided.

Running in during commissioning on site

Barring exceptions, four-stroke engines are always subjected to a test run


in the manufacturer's premises. As such, the engine has usually been run
in. Nonetheless, after installation in the final location, another run-in period
is required if the pistons or bearings were disassembled for inspection after
the test run, or if the engine was partially or fully disassembled for transport.

Running in after fitting new


drive train components

If during revision work the cylinder liners, pistons, or piston rings are
replaced, then a new run-in period is required. A run-in period is also
required if the piston rings are replaced in only one piston. The run-in period
must be conducted according to Figure 1 and 2 or according to the associated explanations.

2 (4)

Running in after refitting used


or new bearing liners (crankshaft, connecting rod and piston pin bearings)

When used bearing shells are reused, or when new bearing shells are installed, these bearings have to be run in. The run-in period should be 3 to 5
hours under progressive loads, applied in stages. The instructions in the
preceding text segments, particularly the ones regarding the "Inspections",
and Figure 1 or 2 must be observed.
Idling at higher speeds for long periods of operation should be avoided if at
all possible.

Running in after low load


operation

Continuous operation in the low load range may result in substantial internal
pollution of the engine. Residue from fuel and lube oil combustion may
cause deposits on the top land ring of the piston exposed to combustion,
in the piston ring channels as well as in the inlet channels. Moreover, it is

6680 3.4.4-04 EN

General

The cylinder liner may be rehoned according to Work Card 050.05, if it is


not replaced. A transportable honing machine may be requested from one
of our Service and Support Locations.

MAN Diesel

3.4.4

Since the piston rings have adapted themselves to the cylinder liner according to the running load, increased wear resulting from quick acceleration
and possibly with other engine trouble (leaking piston rings, piston wear)
should be expected.
After a longer period of low load operation ( 500 hours of operation) a runin period should be performed again, depending on the power, according
to Figure 1 or 2.
Also see instructions in Section 3.5.4 "Low Load Operation".

Engine Monitoring/Performing Checks


Modern engine systems are generally operated automatically using intelligent control systems. Hazards and damage are precluded to a large extent
by internal testing routines and monitoring equipment. Nevertheless, regular
controls are required to ensure that the causes of potential problems are
detected as early as possible and promptly resolved. Moreover, the required
maintenance work must be performed within the periods required.
The checks described below pertain, at least during the guarantee period,
to the owner's duty of care. However, they should be continued after the
warranty term expires. The time and costs required are low in comparison
to those generated by troubleshooting failures or damage, which are undetected or detected too late. Results, observations and handling of such
monitoring measures must be recorded in a machine log. In order to enable
an objective assessment of the observations, reference values must be
defined.

Continuous checks(hourly/
daily)

The continuous checks should extend to the following measures:

Assess the operating status of the propulsion system, check for alarms
and shutdowns

Visual and audible assessment of the systems,

Check of output and consumption values,

Check of the filling level of all service fluid tanks,

Check of the most essential engine operating data and ambient conditions,

Check of the quiet running of engine, turbocharger and generator.

Operative Management II - Monitoring Operating Data

Engine Monitoring /Performing Routine Duties

Periodic checks(daily/weekly) In somewhat longer intervals the scope of the continuous checks should be

Check of all of the relevant engine operating data

Evaluation of the stability of the speed governor and control linkage

Check for unusual vibrations and strange running noises

Check of the functionality of all systems, units and main components ,

Check of the condition of the operating media

Operative Management II - Monitoring Operating Data

3.5.1
Fuel System

Check and fill the service tank (Diesel oil and heavy fuel) as required.
Drain this tank before switching to another tank.

Never completely drain the service tank, since air would fill the fuel pipes
and the injection system would have to be bled.

Regularly drain or suck water and slurry from the reservoir tanks since
otherwise sediment could accumulate up to the level of the drain pipe.

Regularly clean filters and separators.

Check for cleanliness when taking on fuel. Perform a spot test of the
fuel at each bunkering (see Work Card 000.05) and keep these together
with the engine operating data logs. The fuel must comply with the
quality requirements.

Engines with heavy fuel operation:

Heat the heavy fuel until the required viscosity is obtained for the injection pumps. See figure 1. Supplementary information is included in the
viscosity temperature diagram in Section 3.3.4.

2 (5)

Lube oil system

Do not mix heavy fuels with varying viscosity or heavy fuel with distillate.
This could cause instability and lead to failures in the operation of the
engine.

Separate heavy fuel in single or double stages, depending on the system.

Check the lubricating oil level in the service tank and top up with oil if
required.

Check lubricating oil temperatures in front of and after the cooler.

Monitor the lubricating oil pressure at the control station and set to the
stipulated operating pressure if required. It is not significant if the oil

Oil pressure

If the oil pressure drops, switch the engine off immediately!

Coolant System

Check lubricating oil at the stipulated intervals (see maintenance schedule, section 4) for water content.

Use lubricating oil which corresponds to the stipulated quality requirements (see section 3.3).

Regularly clean filters and separators.

Check the coolant level in the expansion tanks (cylinder and injection
valve cooling) and top up if required. Check corrosion inhibitor concentration (see quality requirements sheet 3.3.7 and Work Card 000.07).

Check coolant outflow temperatures. If the temperature should rise


above the stipulated highest value and cannot be adjusted, the engine
load must be reduced and the failure remedied. Only cool down slowly
in order to prevent heat stress inside the engine.

Engines with heavy fuel operation:

Set the coolant outflow temperature according to the stipulated value


(see section 2.5). If the engine is run whilst cold there is increased cylinder liner wear and corrosion as a result of the sulphur content in the
heavy fuel. Fuel consumption will also increase.

Operative Management II - Monitoring Operating Data

pressure exceeds the normal value after starting a cold engine, since,
as the oil warms up, it will decrease to the set operating pressure.

Engine coolant

Immediately turn the engine off in the case of faults in the engine coolant
circuit!

Starting air system

2007-09-28

After starting the engine, the compressed air tanks must be refilled
immediately in order to have the required compressed air available at
all times.

The pipes from the distributing pipe to the starting valves must be
checked for heat build-up after starting the engine. If a pipe becomes
too hot the valve in question is not tight. The valve should be overhauled
as soon as possible or replaced. The valve seat and valve cone could
otherwise be destroyed.

High air humidity may cause large amounts of condensed water to


accumulate in the charge air pipe (refer to Section 3.5). The outflow of
the existing leak water pipe on the charge air cooler must be checked.
If condensation is drained via a float valve, check that it is functioning
properly.

The charge air pressure in the test run record is to be compared with
the one on the engine. It permits conclusions to be drawn concerning
the condition of the exhaust turbocharger and the charge air cooler. The
charge air pressure in front of and after the charge air cooler, displayed

on a differential pressure gauge, is a yardstick for the contamination of


the cooler air side.
See technical documentation volume B2/Work Card 000.40.

Additional work/instructions
Operating values

The exhaust temperatures can vary slightly, despite the fact that the
cylinders all produce the same power. Do not set the cylinders to the
same exhaust temperatures.

The cylinders must be loaded as evenly as possible. This may be determined by matching the ignition pressures and the control linkage positions of the injection pumps.

The exhaust temperatures must be controlled and compared with the


values measured previously (acceptance record). If greater differences
are detected, the cause must be ascertained and the failure remedied.

Check the exhaust clouding. Oil in the combustion chamber makes the
exhaust bluish, poor combustion or overload makes the exhaust dark
or black.

The engine output must be reduced if the intake air temperatures deviate
from the values stipulated for the pipe definition.

Indicator diagrams (not valid


for gas engines)

All cylinders should be indexed at the indicated intervals (see maintenance


schedule in Section 4). For this indexing at ignition pressures 160 bar, a
mechanical device (e.g. an indicator by Maihak) can be used. At higher ignition pressure ratings, an electronic measuring device may be used. Pressure-stroke diagrams can be produced using an electronic ignition pressure
measuring device, e.g. by Baewert, Meerane (See supplementary sheet
3.5.2). The shape of the compression/expansion line permits the ignition
point and the ignition pressures to be determined, providing a useful comparison of the loading of the individual cylinders. The ignition pressures may
only deviate slightly from the average value ( 5 %) and must not exceed the
stipulated value. Higher pressures indicate premature injection or an excessive injection volume whilst lower pressures indicate late injection or excessively low injection volumes. A comparison of diagrams with those taken
from the new engine permits potential irregularities to be detected. For later
comparisons the following values should be noted on each diagram: Turbine
speed, charge air pressure, exhaust temperature per cylinder, engine speed
(rpm), injection pump charge, marking gauge and possibly the fuel consumption during the indexing.

Determination of output

For generator units, the effective engine power output may be determined
fairly accurately based on the generator performance PW, which is measured continuously, and on the generator's efficiency gen, which does not
alter much over the standard operating range. In addition, the performance
values may be calculated and compared at certain working points. Working
points are combinations resulting from performance and the related speeds,
or from speeds and the related fuel pump charges. The condition of the
working points enables conclusions to be drawn regarding the efficiency of
the injection system, the supercharger system and the charge exchange
system.

Running gear bearings

In order to quickly detect bearing damage and to avoid subsequent damage,


various safety devices are fitted to the engine. The following systems are
used:

The bearing temperature monitoring system uses resistance thermometers


fitted in the bearing bodies of the crankshaft main bearings. These thermometers pass corresponding pulses to the safety system, thereby releasing audible and visible alarms or shutting down the engine automatically.
The splash oil monitoring system indirectly calculates the temperatures of
each individual running gear (or running gear pair in the case of V engines)
via the splash oil. In case a defined maximum value or the admissible deviation from the mean value is exceeded, the safety system initiates an engine
shutdown. This device enables initial damage to the running gear parts and
bearings to be detected at a very early stage.

Operative Management II - Monitoring Operating Data

The oil mist detector checks the oil mist density in the crankcase of each
cylinder (for V-engines of one cylinder pair) and triggers an audible and visible alarm in case of smoke development due to evaporating lube oil due to
high bearing temperature or prospective piston damage.

Engine Log Book


Classification Bodies and many Monitoring Authorities require that an
engine log book be kept. We also recommend that you record the checking
procedures in an engine log book, in spite of having printing devices available. In the log you may also record observations and activities as well as
the necessary actions. The following information should also be entered into
the engine log book:

Measurement and test results,

Fuel change and refuelling,

Experiences/conclusions from maintenance and repair work.

It depends on the measurements taken by the Manager/Chief Engineer, to


turn the engine log book into a useful tool or an important instrument of
operative management.
Since opinions regarding the form of the engine log book differ substantially,
we have not provided a sample log. We are, however, willing to provide you
with support and to help you, in particular, in recording reference values.
The primary sources of information should be the test run and commissioning protocol as well as the "List of Measuring and Control Devices".

assessment of the current or expected condition. Information at a higher


level may be gained using a mobile ignition pressure and injection pressure
meter, e.g. the Baewert HLV-94. Pressure at the indexing connection is
measured with the device (if necessary of several engines) and displayed
on a LCD as a diagram over the crankshaft angle or as a table. The corresponding mean indexed pressures are also calculated. The measured data
may also be printed out using a connecting cable or be made accessible to
a PC via a COM1 or COM2 interface. The injection pressure can be measured and displayed in a similar way. DMS sensors are required for this which
have to be installed in the injection pipes.
Electronic ignition pressure measuring devices permit the person in charge
to draw reliable conclusions regarding the load distribution from cylinder to
cylinder and the deviations from normal combustion and injection circumstances, based on the measured values, pressure behaviour and diagrams.
They provide the basis for decisions (depending on the performance spectrum) concerning the correction measures and maintenance or repair work
which, in turn, may reduce operating expenses and breakdown times.

CoCoS-EDS is an engine diagnosis and trend analysis system which


presents the current measured data of the diesel engine on a PC. It was
developed by MAN Diesel SE and is a component of the CoCoS engine
management system. The diagnosis system, which makes available the
skills of outstanding technical experts, allows permanent diagnosis of

the function of charge, combustion and injection,

the temperatures and pressures of air, gas, oil and water systems,

the temperature of the components,

the condition of the air filter, compressor, charge air cooler, turbine and
exhaust gas tank.

EDS offers three user levels which are available at any time:

Monitoring

Monitoring,

Trend and

Diagnosis

The EDS uses the values of the normal alarm system and the supplementary
measured values from the EDS-Sensor box. These supplementary measured values are necessary to be able to perform more accurate calculations
and diagnoses. They are acquired every 20 seconds and saved every half
hour. In case of an engine stop, all the data of the last half hour remains
available. This is important for analysis of emergency stops.

2007-10-17

EDS transforms the measured values in such a way that the detected values
describe the engine's actual condition, under observance of physical and
thermodynamical procedures. The measurement protocols can be called
up in various presentation formats.

Trend

The trend analysis provides a graphical rendering of the stored condition


changes. This is an extremely helpful process in the early detection of
abnormalities in the engine's operating condition.
For short-trend analyses, all of the engine's operating data are stored in the
database in a 5-minute cycle. The stored history remains for two weeks. The
operating data from the short-trend database are accumulated into daily
values in the long term database. The stored history amounts to two years
in this location.

Figure 4: CoCoS-EDS trend - operating data are displayed over a specific time
period.

Diagnosis

Every 5 minutes, the so-called pre-diagnosis is carried out. This diagnosis


is able to detect any deviations in the operating data from their normal value,
irrespective of current load and external influences.
Given that there are currently no long-term stable measurement sensors
available for high pressure values, the diagnosis system will indicate on a
weekly basis, or when it is necessary, at short intervals that an ignition and
injection pressure measurement must be carried out. After input of these
values, the EDS can carry out a full diagnosis.

Acceleration and load times of diesel engines in stationary power plant systems
Diesel engines must not be subjected to quick acceleration and deceleration. The following aspects must be taken into account.

Thermal and mechanical loads,

Exhaust gas clouding,

Power output of the turbocharger.

Engine without preheating

On stationary engines, with cooled down systems, 48 minutes should


elapse until loading at 26 ... (see Fig 1).

Engine with preheating

For an engine at operating temperature, or at least a preheated engine, (oil


temperature 40 C, engine coolant temperature 60 C) the load may be
applied more quickly (see figure 2).
The engine's ability to be subjected to the load depends on the prevailing
temperatures and the system design.
For engines that are operated locally, the acceleration and deceleration
sequences should be observed by the engine room personnel. For engines
operated remotely, the load controlling programmes for normal and emergency operation must be integrated into the remote control system. This
requires mutual agreement between the purchaser, switchgear manufacturer and engine manufacturer.

Part-load operation
Definition

Correlations

In principle, the following load conditions are differentiated:

Overload: > 100 % of the full load power

Full load: 100 % of the full load power

Partial load: < 100 % of the full load power


Low load: < 25 % of the full load power

The best operating conditions for the engine are dictated by an even load
ranging from 60 % to 90 % of full load power. The engine's controls and
system design are based on full load performance.
During idling or engine operation at a low load, combustion in the combustion chamber is incomplete. This may result in the creation of deposits in
the combustion chamber, which will lead to increased soot emission and to
increasing cylinder contamination.
In part-load operation, and during the manoeuvring of ships, the coolant
temperatures cannot be controlled in such a way that they remain high during all load conditions. This is, however, especially important during operation with heavy fuel.

More favourable conditions

From the outset, those engine designs best equipped for low load operation
are those that are equipped with

a two-stage charge air cooler, where the second stage may be turned
off to improve the operating data.

a two-stage charge air cooler and an HT-LT switch that allows LT stage
to be supplied with HT water.

HT: High Temperature

Operation with heavy fuel

LT: Low Temperature

Based on the above, the low load operation with heavy fuel in the range of
< 20 % of the full load may not be extended without limitation. According
to Figure 1, the engine must be transferred to heavy fuel operation after a
phase of low load operation or, it must be operated, immediately after the
low load phase, at a higher load on heavy fuel (> 70 % of full load) in order
to reduce the deposits in the cylinders and the exhaust gas turbocharger.

A long-term operation with heavy fuel in the load range < 25 % of the full
load should definitely be discussed with MAN Diesel SE.
The following regulations apply to low-load operation on diesel fuel:
Continued operation under 15 % of the full load should be avoided if
possible.
If this cannot be avoided, extraordinary measures (e.g. the use of partialload injection nozzles) should be discussed with MAN Diesel SE.

An idling operation, particularly with a nominal speed (generator operation) is only permissible for a period of 1 to 2 hours at the most.

Preliminary Remarks
The engine power is one of the most important operating values. It serves
as a standard for the assessment of the engine's operating efficiency and
reliability. However, it also serves as a reference value in the assessment of
other operating data. Working points are combinations resulting from performance and related speeds, or from speeds and the related fuel pump
charges. The position of the working points allows conclusions to be drawn
concerning the following points:

Changed resistance factors (of the ship),

Losses, leaks, damage

Effectiveness of the injection system, the charging system and the load
changing system.

For older systems (> 30,000 hours of operation) a reliable evaluation is only
possible for working points for which all of the three above-mentioned
parameters are known. Under certain circumstances other relevant operating data must be considered in order to reach a reliable conclusion.

Fundamental Options
For marine driving engines

With marine driving engines the effective engine power Pe is not easily
measurable. This would require a torque measurement. Even from indicator
diagrams, the indicated power of medium-speed, 4-stroke diesel engines,
Pi, cannot be determined.
Alternatively, the working point may be calculated based on the speed and
the mean value of the pump charges. Based on these figures, the related
effective power output may be found. A prerequisite is the use of the same
fuel at the same fuel temperature.

For generator units

For generator units, the effective engine power output may be determined
fairly accurately based on generator performance PW, which is measured
continuously, and on the generator's efficiency gen, which does not alter
much over the standard operating range. This approach, however, does not
permit any assessment of possible modifications in the engine or generator.
Alternatively, or additionally, working points may be obtained as indicated
above, and the performance values compiled may be compared.

During the engine's run-in period at the factory, the mean value of the pump
charges over the power output are recorded and presented in the form of a
graph in the acceptance report. This applies in the same way to marine
engines and stationary engines. For marine engines, the values are entered
on an additional sheet in relation to 3 propeller charts. The diagram corresponds to Figure 1. For the calculation of the working point and the engine
power output one should, therefore, refer to the respective diagram in the
acceptance report.
With these tools it is possible to determine engine output power and to
assess the working points. For this reason, on marine driving engines, during the maiden voyage, and immediately afterwards with a loaded ship, it is

necessary to simultaneously record the engine speed as well as the pump


charges. This should take place under different engine power conditions,
normal operating and weather conditions, and with the fuel intended for
continuous operation. For ships with variable-pitch propellers, you must
ensure that the pitch is the same. The working points determined in this way
must be entered on the diagram. They will serve as reference values for
parameters that will be evaluated in the future. In the meantime, they should
be interpreted in accordance with the diagram in the acceptance report.
For stationary engines, it is only necessary to copy the pump charges from
the acceptance report to the form.

Engine Test Run

The engine test run is normally performed with diesel fuel (MDO) or gas
oil (MGO). In case of operation with heavy fuel (HFO) the pump charges
are almost the same.

Evaluation of the results


The determined working point must be located within the permitted operating range. For marine driving engines, therefore, at least in a new ship and
with a new engine, to the right of the theoretical propeller curve.
The design of the drive system is correct if the following charge values apply
at the rated speed when the equipment is new:
Fixed-pitch propeller
Variable-pitch propeller
Generator units

85 - 90 %,
85 - 100 %,
100 %

See section 3.4 - Permissible power and speed.


Displacement of working points to the left may, under the same initial conditions, be attributed to higher ship resistance, propeller changes (larger
diameter, increased pitch) or propeller damage.

Since the number of possible influential factors is great, and their influence
not easily evaluated, we recommend that, if in doubt, you contact the nearest customer service facility or service referral site of MAN Diesel SE,
Augsburg.

Profitable performance, rpm values and speeds


The usual test run and commissioning programme of marine main engines
does not only includes the calculation of the engine speeds and pump
charges as described in the "Preparations" section, it also includes establishing the achieved speeds and the related fuel consumption figures.
The following related values are required for operational/economical decisions.

6680 3.5.5-01 EN

2007-04-13

Operation/Operating media
General

Upward displacement of working points (higher charge values) may be


attributed to lighter fuels, higher preheating temperatures, functional
defects or wear in the injection system or functional defects in the charging
system/load change system. The wear of injection pump plungers and
actuators with normal fuels and effective preheating and cleaning devices
occurs only after a substantial operating period (> 30,000 operating hours).

MAN Diesel four-stroke engines and turbochargers are designed in such a
way that the best results are obtained, e.g. with regard to fuel consumption
and emissions, under normal service conditions. Special operating situations can, however, be better accommodated using supplementary or alternative equipment.

Brief descriptions
Device for blowing off charge When operating engines with a full load at a low intake temperature there is
a danger, due to the high air density, that the charge pressure, and therefore
air
the ignition pressure, increases excessively. In order to avoid such conditions, excess charge air in front of or after the charge air cooler is removed
and released to the machine room. This is achieved by means of an electropneumatic throttle flap. Please refer to Section 3.5.12.

2007-10-08

The charge air pipe is connected via a pipe with a smaller diameter and a
bypass flap to the exhaust pipe. The flap is closed in normal operation.
During propeller operation with 25 and 60 % load, the offer of air for the
engine is relatively small or the charge air pressure relatively low. In order
to provide the engine with more air in these conditions, charge air is blown
into the exhaust pipe. For this purpose the bypass flap opens. The higher
pressure forming in the exhaust pipe leads to an increase in the turbine
output and, as such, to an increase in the charge pressure.
The throttle flap is controlled by a pneumatic actuator cylinder depending
on the engine speed and the filling setting of the fuel pumps. See section
3.5.8.

air cylinders is reduced to 4 bar (relative) , directed to the compressor casing
of the turbocharger and blown to the compressor wheel through inclined
apertures. In this way, additional air is supplied to the compressor which, in
turn, is accelerated, thus increasing the charge air pressure. Operation of
the accelerating system is initiated by a control system, and limited to a fixed
load range.

Releasing the exhaust gas


(Waste gate)

By blowing-off exhaust gas before the turbine, and its return to the exhaust
pipe behind the turbine, exhaust gas pressure reduction at the turbocharger
takes place, or there is a turbine speed reduction at full load. This measure
is necessary when the turbocharger is designed for an optimised part-load
operation. Please refer to Section 03/05/2011.

Equipment for adjusting the


injection timing

On engine 48/60 B the adjustment takes place by displacement of the cam


followers which are located between the cam track and the fuel pump cylinder, or by rotating the eccentric shaft which carries the cam followers. By
using this equipment the ignition pressure and the fuel consumption may
be affected when adjusting in the direction "early ignition". When adjusting
in the direction "late ignition", nitrogen emissions may be reduced.

Principles
Air contains water in extremely fine distribution - as water vapour. During
compression and cooling of air some of this water will separate from the air.
This applies to the compression and cooling of the charge air by the turbocharger and charge air cooler and it applies to the behaviour of compressed
air in air cylinders. The volume increases:

with increasing air temperature,

with increasing air humidity,

with increasing charge air pressure, and

with decreasing charge air temperature.

After the charge air cooler, i.e. in the charge air pipe, 1,000 kg of water per
hour may be produced under certain circumstances. This is due to the great
volumes of air and the relatively high charge air pressures. At tropical temperatures the effect is even greater.
The amount of water produced in compressed air cylinders is much less. It
hardly ever exceeds 5 kg per charge.
The condensation water volume must be reduced as far as possible. Water
must not enter the engine.

Drainage

The drainage of the charge air pipe must function perfectly. Compressed
air cylinders must be drained after they are filled and before use.

Condensate water in charge air pipes and pressure vessels

Nomogram for calculating the water condensate volume


By means of the nomogram in Figure 1 the water quantity which arises during the compressing and cooling of air in the charge air pipe or in a pressure
vessel can be determined . The principles of the procedure are described
using two examples.

Stand-alone operation
Load application depending
on mean pressure

Greater load applications which may occur in marine auxiliary engines in the
on-board mains, or in stationary engines in stand-alone operation cannot
be handled in a single step. Corresponding to the International Association
of Classification Societies (IACS) and the internationally valid standard ISO
8528-5, the load applications must be carried out in steps. See Figure 1.
Number of steps and the height of the steps are dependent on the effective
mean pressure of the engine.

Operation/Operating media
General

Operation of engines in parallel with other power generators of greater output there will be no substantial load jumps. The load behaviour of the
engines is not determined by external circumstances, but by the user's own
judgement. The possibilities for load application and relief of the engine are
controlled by the stipulations in section 3.5.3.

Preliminary Remarks
Fault finding by means of
tables 1-3

Tables 1-3 contain a selection of possible operating faults and their causes.
They are intended to contribute to reliable fault diagnosis and rapid resolution of their cause.

Groupings

The faults are grouped into 3 categories:

Engine start / running engine

Operating data and

other problems.

Firstly, the possible causes of the faults are not usually limited to a single
issue. Quite often several possibilities should be considered. The most likely
cause can be determined from the points listed, with consideration of

the appearance characteristics,

the time-related and factual aspects and

the operator's own experience.

"Info" and "Code" Columns

The "Info" column contains references to sections in the manual and Work
Cards. With the assistance of the key numbers in the "Code" column the
table may also be employed for questions, such as "What happens if...?".

Example

For example, key number 15 is found in three areas in the table (characterised by ). This means: If the injection timing is too far in the direction "late",
the following consequences are possible:

The engine does not reach its full power/speed,

The exhaust gas temperatures are too high and

The exhaust fumes are visible and have a dark colour.

Fault finding with the turbocharger

Please note that the instruction manual for the turbocharger has its own
fault-finding table.

Sequence of the entries

The sequence of the entries has no bearing on the probability of a certain


cause. The sequence is based on: Firstly, causes related to operating media
and their systems, then engine, turbocharger and possibly the ship.

Emergency operation when one or two cylinders fail


Emergency operation when
one or two cylinders fail

Even with careful operative management the following serious malfunctions


cannot be completely ruled out:

In the injection system or injection pump drive,

At the inlet or exhaust valves or their drive,

At the cylinder head or

at the connecting rod, piston or cylinder liner.

If a malfunction of this kind occurs, the engine must be stopped and the
damage rectified. If that is not possible, then the possibilities for emergency
operation must be checked and, if required, the necessary measures taken.
Under certain conditions, mostly at reduced power, the engine may be put
back into operation again. If the engine is not allowed to stop for an important reason, then at least all possibilities for reducing consequential damage
must be utilised.
Diesel-gas engines must be operated in diesel mode.

Explanations - type of malfunction
Case 1

Operating faults which require the injection pump to be switched off (charge
to zero) but allow an operation of the affected cylinder/piston against the
normal compression resistance, e.g.

Case 2

Malfunction in the injection system due to a faulty nozzle,

Malfunction in the cylinder head due to a faulty valve, gas leakage at the
cylinder head, broken cylinder head bolt.

Operating faults making it necessary to dismantle the rocker arms and the
push rods and to turn the injection pump off (charge to zero), but which allow
the operation of the affected cylinder/piston against the normal compression (closed valves), e.g.

Malfunction on the valve control,

Malfunction in the cylinder head due to gas leakages on sealing rings


and a maximum of 2 broken cylinder head bolts2).

Case 1 and case 2 are less problematic with respect to vibration when
compared with case 3, since the running gear parts remain in place.

With operating faults which do not allow operation of the piston against the
compression, proceed as per case 3 if possible, or switch the engine off.

Case 3

Operating faults which make it necessary to remove the entire running gear
(piston, connecting rod, push rods).
Cases 1...3 are taken into consideration in the torsional vibration calculation. Operating limitations which may be required are indicated by
restricted area signs on the operating devices.

Case 4

Notes on vibration
Blocked areas/Vibrations

Due to shutting off the injection pump on one cylinder, critical speeds may
occur which require limitations of the operating range. The limitations for
this abnormal operating condition can be taken from the warning signs.
If it is necessary to dismantle the running gear of the cylinder concerned
(case 3) then the engine power must be reduced to 50 %. Moreover, the
mass compensation is considerably disrupted. Free mass forces and free
mass torques can be created. This, in turn, can create anormal vibrations in
the engine and in the ship. In this case it is necessary to impose further
blocked ranges based on a subjective impression.
The disruption of the mass equalisation is only partly compensated for by
dismantling counterweights in order to counterbalance the rotating mass of
the dismantled connecting rod.

Preliminary Remarks
General

Turbochargers are high-demand flow machines. They work at very high


speeds and relatively high temperatures and pressures.
Even in the case of careful operative management, emergency operation
may become necessary.

Failure of a turbocharger

The following criteria indicate that there is damage to or failure of a turbocharger:

A sudden drop in turbocharger speed,

Strong vibration or noise in the turbocharger,

High exhaust temperatures which do not match the engine load conditions.

In these cases an investigation/rectification of the malfunction is


required!

If, due to an emergency situation, the engine must continue to be operated


using the faulty turbocharger, which is only possible at reduced engine
power, special measures must be taken for emergency operation of the
engine.

Existing auxiliary equipment

Please note that, despite observing the following measures, there is a


risk of destroying the turbocharger! Should this happen, there is acute
danger to persons and a risk of material damage! Emergency engine
operation is only permitted for the period of time required to avoid an
emergency situation!
Measures to be taken:

Reduce engine power so that


the maximum exhaust temperature after the cylinder is not exceeded,
the maximum exhaust temperature in front of the turbocharger is not
exceeded,
increased clouding of the exhaust is minimised.

Do not stand near the turbocharger!

As a precaution, prepare the fire extinguishing measures!

At the next opportunity, check for damage and carry out troubleshooting.

The engine may be stopped


briefly.
The duration of emergency engine operation must be kept to an absolute
minimum!

Failure of power supply


Blackout means a sudden electrical power failure. A blackout causes the
coolant, lube oil and fuel pumps to fail if these are not powered by the engine
itself. Other important supply units and the measuring control and regulating
devices are also affected.
If the blackout occurs while operating at a high engine power level, the
coolant which stops circulating is heated by the engine components which
are subject to high thermal forces and steam bubbles may form. For this
reason: Exercise care near the venting and drain pipes!

Immediately stop the engine.


In the event of a blackout, be sure to stop the engine immediately, both
in the case of automatically controlled engines as well as for engines
which are manually controlled.
This also applies in those cases where pumps do not resume operation
within a few seconds, which may happen if the power supply is automatically taken over by a standby power unit. For marine main engines, this
emergency stop operation can be temporarily bypassed in extreme cases
where "ship before the machine" applies. The engine must be disengaged
on engines fitted with a disengaging coupling. For ships with a variable-pitch
propeller, if possible, the gradient must immediately be set to zero so that
the engine is not dragged by the propeller. These operations must be triggered automatically if the lube oil pressure decreases.

Relubrication unit

Operative Management III - Operating faults

Failure of the power supply (blackout)

For engines which are equipped with a directly coupled, engine-powered


lube oil pump (and an electrically powered standby pump), the engine oil
supply will be kept running by this pump in case of a blackout.
Marine engines which are equipped with 2 electrically driven lube oil pumps
and for which there is a risk of drag being exerted on the engine while the
ship is drifting, must be equipped with a post-lubrication tank. The oil supply
from the overhead tank during this phase (in emergencies) must be ensured.

2008-05-06

Regardless of how the lube oil system is otherwise designed, during runout the turbocharger(s) is/are supplied for a period of time with oil from a
top-mounted oil tank (rigid engine support) or by a separately positioned oil
tank (resilient engine mounting).

Systems with automatic oper- After restoring the electrical power supply, the pumps and fans must restart
automatically in the order indicated:
ation
1. Lube oil pump and fuel pump,
2. Coolant pump,

6680 3.6.4-01 EN

Operation/Operating media
General

Stationary engines which are equipped with 2 electrically driven pumps are
set to "zero" charge in case of a blackout. Relubrication of the engine does
not normally take place during the relatively short (1 ... 3 minutes) load-free
run-down period.

1 (2)

MAN Diesel

Operative Management III - Operating faults

3.6.4
3. Engine room ventilation,
4. Sea water pump.

The engine must never start automatically after a Blackout.

The blocking of the fuel pump is disengaged as soon as the coolant and the
lube oil pumps have started up. The drive lever of the automatic control must
be set to STOP and only after doing so may the engine be restarted and
slowly have load applied to it in accordance with the power-up drive program.

Systems with manual opera- In manual mode the engine must be stopped immediately after a Blackout
in order to prevent severe damage caused by lubrication failure or by thertion
mal overload. After restoring the electrical energy supply proceed as per
automatic operating mode. Here, too, it is important that the engine is
restarted and only gradually has load applied to it.

Blackout test

When commissioning engine systems, a blackout is often provoked intentionally to test the engine behaviour and the activation of the shutdown
equipment. To reduce wear on the engine, this test may only be carried out
at an engine speed below approx. 50 % or with a power at approx. 15 %.

Resuming operation of the


engine after a blackout

Depending on the power level operated at prior to suddenly powering down,


the coolant no longer circulating is heated up substantially by the hot engine
components, which in some cases may lead to the formation of steam in
the cooling spaces in the cylinder head.
It is therefore advisable to wait until the engine has cooled down before
restarting. Given that it is only rarely possible to do this, when resuming
operation, follow these steps to prevent damage from occurring as a result
of thermal shocks:
1. Shut off recooling by bypassing the fresh water cooler.
2. Only briefly turn on the coolant pump so that colder water from the pipes
slowly mixes with the hot water in the engine.
3. Turn the coolant and lube oil pumps on.
4. Start the engine.

fails, the engine can continue to be operated for a limited time (approx. 250
h). If the engine power is reduced to below 50%, the operating time of the
engine is unlimited.
The lubrication unit must be serviced or replaced as quickly as possible.
The following measures must be carried out before re-commissioning the
cylinder lubrication after operating the engine without cylinder lubrication in
order to clean the bores in the cylinder lubrication system:
1. Switch the pump for pre-lubrication on when the engine is stopped.
2. Switch the pump for cylinder lubrication to manual mode.
3. Turn the engine over slowly for approx.10 minutes (the pump for cylinder
lubrication must be switched on again after 5 minutes).

Basic information
Operating data/Threshold val- Operating data, e.g. temperatures, pressures, resistance to flow and all
other safety-relevant values/characteristics must be kept within the target
ues

range. Threshold values must not be exceeded. The "Test run and commissioning protocol" (in volume B5) and the "List of measuring and control
devices" (in volume D) contain mandatory reference values.

Alarms, reduction and stop


signals

Alarms, reduction or stop signals are triggered by the most important operating data, depending on the level of excess and risk potential. This is
achieved with the help of the alarm system and safety control system.
Reduction signals reduce the engine output in marine systems. This is achieved by reducing the pitch in variable-pitch propeller systems. Stop signals
cause the engine to stop.

Response in the event of


emergencies - technical
options

Acoustic or visual warnings can be reset. The displays remain active until
the fault has been eliminated. Reduction or stop signals can be suppressed
in marine systems (with the exception of "overspeed" signal) using the override function with the value "ship before machine". This option is not
available in stationary systems.

Classification of alarm and


limit values

The guidelines of the classification societies and the operator's own assessment apply when defining the alarm values and safety-relevant limit values.

Examples

Stop criteria are (for example): overspeed, excessively low lube oil pressure
and excessively high temperatures at crankshaft main bearings. If the oil
mist detector responds it is normal also for a stop to be effected. If the
coolant temperature in ship's systems is too high a power reduction is initiated.

Operative Management III - Operating faults

Response in the event that operating values are exceeded when alarms occur

Legal situation
The purpose of alarm, reduction and safety signals is to warn against or
eliminate dangers. Due care must be observed when investigating their
causes. The malfunction sources must be consistently eliminated. They
must not be ignored or suppressed, unless instructions to do so are given
by the management, or in cases where the cause represents a high degree
of danger.

detector. It increases if bearings are damaged and in the event of piston
seizure and blow-bys from the combustion chamber. In these cases an
alarm is triggered and the red alarm LED starts flashing on the oil mist
detector.

Danger to persons and damage to property!

Danger caused by high concentrations of oil mist

If the oil mist concentration is too high this poses an acute danger to
persons and property. It may cause an explosion in the crankcase which
could severely damage the engine, crankshaft and running gear parts.

Response in the event of an oil mist alarm

Stopping the engine due to high concentrations of oil mist

If the oil mist concentration is too high the engine is switched off by the
safety control system. If this does not occur, or if this feature is not provided, the engine must be switched off manually. This must be carried
out within seconds.
The engine is not monitored when the oil mist detector is inoperative. In this
case, initial signs of damage cannot be detected or will not be detected in
time.

General
Running gear temperature
monitoring

The running gear temperatures in the crankcase are transferred to the surrounding lube oil. Damage to big end bearings, piston seizure and blow-bys
from the combustion chamber cause a change in the lube oil temperature.
For the splash oil monitoring system some of the splash oil in each big-end
bearing pin is collected; the temperatures of the splash oil are monitored
and compared. If the maximum temperature is exceeded, or if the temperature differential between the individual running gears is too great, initially
an alarm is triggered followed by an automatic engine stop if necessary.

Danger to persons and damage to property!

Oil mist formation

Bearing damage, piston seizures and blow-bys encourage oil mist to


form; this poses an acute risk to the health of personnel and damages
property. It may cause an explosion in the crankcase which could
severely damage the engine, crankshaft and running gear parts.

Basic information
In engines equipped with "Slow-Turn", the engine is turned over automatically prior to starting this process is monitored in the engine control
system. If the engine does not reach the number of anticipated crankshaft
revolutions within the specified period, or if the minimum slow-turn time is
not achieved, an error message is produced.
A corresponding error message normally indicates that fluid has accumulated in the combustion chamber. If the slow-turn procedure is completed
successfully, the engine starts automatically.

Response following a slow-turn error


Slow-turn parameters

With the slow-turn procedure the engine is automatically turned with the air
pressure reduced prior to the actual engine start. During this process, 2.5
crankshaft revolutions must be achieved within a specific time period. If this
occurs in less than 15 seconds, or if takes longer than 40 seconds, a slowturn error is produced by the engine control system.

Table 1: Slow-turn parameters for engine control

Stopping the error

The engine is normally prevented from turning freely by fluid that has penetrated the combustion chamber. This may be fuel, coolant or lube oil. In this
case the engine must be turned through one full crankshaft revolution with
the indicator cocks open using the turning-over gearbox.
In this case the following procedure must be observed:

Engage turning-over gearbox

Open indicator cocks

Turn the engine through one full crankshaft revolution

Check the indicator cocks for the discharge of fluid


If fluid comes out,

- Close indicator cocks

- Establish and eliminate the reason for


the presence of fluid in the combustion
chamber.

- Disengage turning-over gearbox

Shutting down/preserving the engine


If the engine is shut down for longer than 1 week it must be turned over once
a week for approximately 10 minutes. To do this, the lube oil pumps for the
running gear and cylinder lubrication must be put into operation (oil temperature approximately 40 C).
For longer downtimes (e.g. storage) the engine must be emptied, cleaned
and preserved. The necessary instructions are contained in Work Card
000.14 - "Corrosion protection/preservation of diesel engines". The necessary preliminary work, the preservation itself and suitable preserving agents
are described in this Work Card.

General remarks
Purpose of maintenance
work/prerequisites

Alongside regular checks, maintenance work is one of the operator's obligations and serves to maintain the operational readiness and reliability of
the system. This work must be carried out in accordance with the maintenance schedule in a timely manner by competent personnel.
Maintenance work helps operating personnel detect emerging malfunctions
on time. It provides the persons responsible with information on necessary
reconditioning work or repairs and influences the planning of downtimes.

Maintenance/Repairs

General remarks

Maintenance and repair work can only be carried out properly and correctly
if the required spare parts are available. In addition to spare parts, it is also
expedient to keep a stock of parts in reserve to cater for unexpected failures.
Please ask MAN B&W Diesel AG to submit a quotation if required.

Maintenance schedule/main- The necessary work is listed in the maintenance schedule. This contains
tenance intervals/personnel
and time requirements

a brief description of the work,

the repetition intervals,

the personnel and time requirements and

refers to the relevant Work Cards/working instructions.

Work Cards in Volume B2 and The Work Cards, summarised in parts B2 and C2 of the Technical Documentation, give a brief description of the meaning and purpose of the work.

Obligation and possibilities for adaptation


Validity of the maintenance
schedule

Maintenance schedules 4.7.1 and 4.7.2 are jointly applicable. They summarise work that is to be carried out at regular intervals or within a range of
intervals.
After 30,000 or 36,000 operating hours, a thorough examination of the main
components must be carried out. In particular, the cylinder heads and
valves, the cylinder liners and pistons and the running gear parts and bearings should be checked for wear and renewed if necessary. It is recommended that extensive work such as this and the general overhaul is carried
out by one of our customer service locations.

Adapting the maintenance


schedule

The maintenance schedules apply to average operating conditions. The


stipulations are non-binding recommendations and guideline figures. In
order to obtain data based on experience, it is recommended that the lower
interval ranges are used initially as a guideline. The repeat intervals must be
shortened following a critical analysis, if the operating results and operating
conditions require it, and if the operating schedules permit it (ship timetables/inspection periods for power stations). It is possible to extend the
intervals if the operating results and operating conditions are favourable.
Favourable operating conditions are:

uniform loading within the range of 60 to 90 % of rated power,

observance of the specified temperatures and pressures for operating


media,

use of specified lube oil and fuel qualities,

careful separation of fuel and lube oil.

2007-10-23

prolonged operation at peak loads or low loads, long periods of idling,


frequent severe load changes,

frequent engine starts and repeated warm-up phases without sufficient


preheating,

high engine loads before the specified operating temperatures have


been reached,

lube oil, coolant and charge air temperatures too low,

6628 4.2-02 EN

Maintenance/Repairs
General

Unfavourable operating conditions are:

request

Such tools are supplied upon request. Please ask MAN Diesel SE to submit
a quotation if required. The table below shows which tools are available to
supplement the standard set of tools for the engine.

Special tools

Certain jobs, which are classified as repairs as opposed to maintenance


tasks, require special expert knowledge, experience and supplementary
equipment/accessories. For such work we provide our service support
points or authorised workshops, where required, with other special tools.
We therefore recommend that you consult these partners, or ask them to

Standards
The conventional designations/terms used in engine manufacture are laid
down in the ISO 1204 standard and the MAN regulation Q10.09121-4611.
A selection of terms, as they appear in the Technical Documentation, are
explained in the following section.

Appendix

Designations/Terms

Engines
Engines with supercharging

Supercharged engines have one or more exhaust gas turbochargers fitted


(consisting of a turbine and compressor) which are driven by the exhaust
gases. The purpose of the turbochargers is to compress the air required for
combustion.

Diesel-gas engines (DF)

Diesel-gas engines can be operated either with liquid fuel or with gas (natural gas, town gas, digester gas, etc); for ignition, a small amount of fuel,
the ignition oil as it is known, is injected.

Spark-ignition gas engines


(G)

Spark-ignition gas engines are operated with gas (natural gas, town gas,
sewer gas, etc) and external electric ignition.

Common-Rail engines (CR)

In engines with a Common Rail injection system the pressurised fuel is held
in a reservoir and injected under electronic control.

Performance Gas Injection


(PGI)

PGI engines are operated with natural gas and glow ignition.

Type, and direction of rotation


Left-hand engine/Right-hand The terms left-hand engine (LM) and right-hand engine (RM) refer to the
location of the engine's exhaust side. When looking towards the coupling
engine
side, the exhaust side is on the left on a left-hand engine, and it is on the
right on a right-hand engine (see Figure 1). It is normally only possible to
make this distinction on an in-line engine.

Right-hand engine

Figure 1: Determination of left-hand engine/Right-hand engine

Direction of rotation

When looking towards the coupling side, a right-turning engine turns clockwise, whilst a left-turning engine turns counterclockwise.

Appendix

5.1
Designations for cylinders and bearings
Designation for cylinders

The cylinders are numbered in sequence, from the coupling side, 1, 2, 3 etc.
In V engines, looking from the coupling side, the left hand row of cylinders
is designated A, and the right hand row is designated B. Accordingly, the
cylinders are referred to as A1-A2-A3 or B1-B2-B3, etc. (see Figure 2).

In-line engine

V engine

Figure 2: Cylinder designation

Designations for crank pins,


Crank journals and bearings

The crank pins and connecting rods are designated 1, 2, 3 etc. from the
coupling side, the crank journals and main bearings are designated 1, 2, 3
etc. If there is an additional bearing located between the coupling flange
and the gearwheel for the drive of the control system this bearing and the
corresponding crank journals are designated 01 (see Fig. 3). it is of no significance which bearing is arranged to be the flanged bearing.
On V engines, if 2 connecting rods are acting on one crank pin, the big-end
bearings are designated in the same way as the cylinders, e.g. A1, B1, A2,
etc.

Designation for engine sides


Coupling side KS

The coupling sind is the main engine output side and is the side to which the propeller, the generator or other working machine is coupled.

Appendix
General

2008-05-06

Exhaust counter side

The engine counter coupling side is the front face of the engine opposite the coupling side.
On a left-hand engine, the left side is the exhaust side and on a V engine it is cylinder
bank A.
On a right-hand engine, the right side is the exhaust side and on a V engine it is
cylinder bank B.
The timing side is the longitudinal side of the engine to which the injection pumps
and the camshaft are attached (opposite the exhaust side).
The exhaust side is the longitudinal side of the engine to which the exhaust pipe
is connected (opposite the timing side). The terms timing side and exhaust side
are only used for in-line engines.
On engines with two camshafts, one on the exhaust side and one on the opposite
side, the term "timing side" is ambiguous. The term exhaust counter side is used
in addition to exhaust side.

Comment

The letter in position 1 represents a variable in the second column of the


table. This can be supplemented by D, F or Q; the meaning then corresponds to the entry in column 3 of the table. Position 2 or 3 of the combination of letters can be occupied, if required, by letters from column 4.
Multiple designations are possible here. The sequence in which they should
be used is Q, I, R, C, S, Z, A.
It can be supplemented with + (upper limit/on/open) or - (lower limit/off/
closed) but only after O, S, Z and A.
