    Torque Control Mode & Rough Sea Mode

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses different operating modes for a marine engine, including an economy mode that optimizes fuel efficiency, an emission mode that focuses on low NOx emissions, and various governor modes for controlling engine speed. It notes that during rough sea conditions, the RPM control governor mode should be used and the speed setting may need to be reduced below the maximum continuous rating speed to prevent over-speed shutdowns given ship conditions.

    The ME engine normally provides two engine running modes:

    1. Economy mode - where fuel efficiency is optimized


    2. Emission mode - where focus is on low NOx emission

    Each engine running mode contains different algorithms for control of injection profile and
    timing of injection and exhaust valves. The engine behaviour is not affected by the running
    mode and both modes can be used during rough sea condition.

    The governor includes two modes for normal operation:


    1. RPM control mode - provides the most rigid speed control, leading to
    large fuel index variations.
    2. Torque mode – the speed control is dampened when the speed is close
    to the required speed, providing speed control without large index
    variations, but allowing larger speed variations.
    A third governor mode for PMI measurement purposes:
    1. Index mode – a mode where the index is kept constant as long as the
    speed is within a preset range, allowing PMI measurements with
    complete stable index. If the speed drifts outside this range the
    governor mode will automatically change to RPM control mode.
    During rough sea condition RPM control mode shall be used, and if needed the speed
    setting should be reduced to a suitable level below MCR speed in order to enable the
    governor to keep the actual engine speed below over-speed level. The required speed
    reduction depend among others on actual weather condition, ship design and ship course.
    The ME-ECS do not include Rough Sea Mode, as we find the speed set point should be
    lowered in order to avoid over-speed shut down during rough sea condition.
