A. Combustion cut out. Piston and exhaust actuator (ELVA) still working
Compression on
Reasons:
Preliminary measure in the event of, for instance: blow-by at piston rings or ex-
haust valve; bearing failures which necessitate reduction of bearing load; faults in
the injection system.

Procedure:
Cut out the fuel pump. (See MOP Description).

Piston cooling oil and cylinder cooling water must not be cut off.
See also Item 4.

B. Combustion and compression cut out. Piston still working in cylinder

Reasons:
This measure is permitted in the event of, for instance, water is leaking into the cyl-
inder from the cooling jacket/liner or cylinder cover.

Running in this way must as soon as possible be superseded by the precautions

mentioned under D or E. See also Item 3.

Procedure:
1. Cut out the fuel pump. See MOP Description.
2. Put the exhaust valve out of action and lock it in open position.
See Vol. II, Procedure 906-28 (Special Running).
Shut-off the air supply to the exhaust valve, and stop the lube oil pumps.
Restart the lube oil pumps.

3. Close the cooling water inlet and outlet valves for the cylinder. If necessary,
drain the cooling water spaces completely.
4. Dismantle the starting air pipe, and blank off the main pipe and the control air
pipe for the pertaining cylinder.
5. When operating in this manner, the speed should not exceed 55% of MCR
speed see also ‘Note’ below.

The joints in the crosshead and crankpin bearings have a strength that,
for a short time, will accept the loads at full speed without compression
in the cylinder. However, to avoid unnecessary wear and pitting at the
joint faces, it is recommended that, when running a unit continuously
with the compression cut-out, the engine speed is reduced to 55% of
MCR speed, which is normally sufficient to manoeuvre the vessel.

During manoeuvres, if found necessary, the engine speed can be raised to 80%
of MCR speed for a short period, for example 15 minutes.

Under these circumstances, in order to ensure that the engine speed is kept within
a safe upper limit, the over-speed level of the engine must be lowered to 83% of
MCR speed.

C. Combustion cut out. Exhaust valve closed. Piston still working in cylinder.
Reasons:
This measure may be used if, for instance, the exhaust valve or the actuator is de-
fective. See also Item 4.

Procedure:
1. Cut out the fuel pump. (See MOP Description).
2. Put the exhaust valve out of action (See MOP Description) so that the valve
remains closed (stop the oil supply and remove the hydraulic pipe).

The cylinder cooling water and piston cooling oil must not be cut out.

D. Piston, piston rod, and crosshead suspended in the engine.

Connecting rod out
Reasons:
For instance, serious defects in piston, piston rod, connecting rod, cylinder cover,
cylinder liner and crosshead. See also Item 3.
Procedure:
1. Cut out the fuel pump. (See MOP Description).
2. Put the exhaust valve out of action (See MOP Description) so that the valve
remains closed.
3. Dismantle the starting air pipe
Blank off the main pipe and the control air pipe for the pertaining cylinder.
In this case the blanking-off of the starting air supply is particularly
important, as otherwise the supply of starting air will blow down
the suspended engine components.
4. Suspend the piston, piston rod and crosshead, and take the connecting rod
out of the crankcase, in accordance with the directions in Volume II, Chapter
904.

5. Blank off the oil inlet to the crosshead.

6. Set the cylinder lubricator for the pertaining cylinder, to “zero” delivery.

E. Piston, piston rod, crosshead, connecting rod, and telescopic pipe out
Reasons:
This method is only used if lack of spare parts makes it necessary to repair the
defective parts during the voyage. See also Item 3.

Procedure:
1. Cut out the fuel pump. (See MOP Description).
2. Put the exhaust valve out of action (See MOP Description) so that the valve
remains closed.
3. Dismantle the starting air pipe, and blank off the main pipe and the control air
pipe for the pertaining cylinder.
4. Dismantle piston with piston rod and stuffing box, crosshead, connecting rod
and crankpin bearing. Blank off the stuffing box opening with two plates (to-
wards scavenge air box and crankcase). Minimum plate thickness 5 mm.
5. Blank off the oil inlet hole from the telescopic pipe.
6. Set the cylinder lubricator for the pertaining cylinder to “zero” delivery.

3. Starting after putting Cylinders out of Operation

After carrying out any of the procedures described under points B, C, D, and E, it
is, before starting, absolutely necessary to check the oil flow through the bearings,
and the tightness of blanked-off openings.

After 10 minutes’ running, and again after one hour, the crankcase must be
opened for checking:

· the bearings,
· the temporarily secured parts,
· the oil flow through bearings,
· the tightness of blanked-off openings.
Load Restrictions:

Cases A and C, see Item 4 below. Cases B, D and E, always contact the engine
builder for calculation of allowable output and possible barred speed range.

4. Running with one (1) Cylinder Misfiring (Cases A and C)

Misfiring is defined as:

· no injection and
· compression present.

If only one cylinder is misfiring, it may be possible to run the engine with the re-
maining and working cylinders, under two restrictions:

1. The thermal load of the cylinders.

2. The torsional vibration in the propeller shaft system.
Ad 1) Thermal load restriction: The following r/min and shaft powers may be ob-
tained with a fixed pitch propeller given by the thermal load of the cylinders:

Total No. of % r/min % Load

Cylinders (of MCR) (of MCR)
4 83 57
5 86 63
6 88 67
7 89 71
8 90 73
9 91 75
10 91 77
11 92 78
12 92 78
14 93 80

Ad 2) Torsional vibration restrictions: These restrictions, given as barred speed

range, may be found from the class-approved report on the torsional vibration of
the actual propeller shaft system.

Note Only valid for misfiring, i.e. Item 2, cases A and C. See also Plate 70401.

With a CP-propeller, the same restrictions apply when running according to the de-
sign pitch. During the misfire operation keep the CP-propeller pitch fixed at the de-
sign pitch.

If more than one cylinder is misfiring, the engine builder must be contacted.

Running limitations in Cases B, D and E

In cases B, D and E, the engine builder must always be contacted for calculation
of allowable output and possible barred speed range.

5. How to put Turbochargers out of Operation

(See also special instruction book for turbochargers).

If heavy vibrations, bearing failure, or other troubles occur in a turbocharger, pre-

liminary measures can be taken in one of the following ways:

A. If the ship must be instantly manoeuvrable:

Reduce the load until the vibrations cease.
