1.

This Manual contains data and instructions for operation and


maintenance of engine as well as instruction for handling, personal
protection and first aid when fuel-, lubricating oils and cooling water
additives are handled during normal operation and maintenance work.
Basic general knowledge has not been entered. Consequently, it is
assumed that the engine operation and maintenance staff is well
informed of the care of diesel engines.
2. Wärtsilä reserves for itself the right to minor alterations and
improvements owing to engine development without being obliged to
enter the corresponding changes in this Manual.
3. The diesel engines will be equipped as agreed upon in the sales
documents. No claim can be made on the basis of this Manual as here
are described also components not included in every delivery.
The system diagram plans (fuel, oil, cooling etc.) are just indicative and
thus do not cover all installations. See installation specific system
drawings for more details.
4. Exact engine build-up in all details is defined by the specification
number on the name plate located on the engine. In all correspon-
dence or when ordering spare parts, be careful to state engine
type, specification number and engine number.
5. This Manual is supplemented by the Spare Parts Catalogue includ-
ing sectional drawings or exterior views of all components (partial
assemblies).

are fully functional and in
place.

The most important terms used in this manual are defined as follows:
The longitudinal side of the engine where the operating
devices are located (start and stop, instrument panel, speed governor).
. The longitudinal side of the engine opposite the operating
side.
The end of the engine where the flywheel is located.
The end opposite the driving end.
According to ISO 1204 and DIN 6265 the
designation of cylinders begins at the driving end. In a V-engine the
cylinders in the left bank, seen from the driving end, are termed A1,
A2 etc. and in the right bank B1, B2 etc., see below:

WV00519331

Main bearings. The flywheel bearing is No. 0, the first standard


main bearing is No. 1, the second No. 2 etc.
The thrust bearing rails are located at the flywheel bearing. The
outer rails close to the flywheel are marked with 00 and the inner
rails with 0.
The camshaft bearings are designated as the main bearings, the
thrust bearing bushes being designated 00 (outer) and 0.
Camshaft gear bearings. The bearings located on the flywheel side
are designated 00 and the inner bearings 0.
Upper and lower bearings shells. In bearings where both the
shells are identical, the upper one is marked with UP .

3200528935

Details located at the operating side


may be marked with (Manoeuvering) and correspondingly for
the back of the engine (B-bank on a V-engine).
When looking at the engine from the
driving end the shaft rotates clockwise.
Counter-clockwise rotating engine. When looking at the engine from
the driving end the shaft rotates counter-clockwise.
Bottom dead centre, abbreviated BDC, is the bottom turning point of
the piston in the cylinder.
Top dead centre, abbreviated TDC, is the top turning point of the piston
in the cylinder. TDC for every cylinder is marked on the graduation of
the flywheel. During a complete working cycle, comprising in a four-
stroke engine two crankshaft rotations, the piston reaches TDC twice:
For the first time when the exhaust stroke of the previous working
cycle ends and the suction stroke of the following one begins. Exhaust
valves as well as inlet valves are then somewhat open and scavenging
takes place. If the crankshaft is turned to and fro near this TDC, both
exhaust and inlet valves will move, a fact that indicates that the
crankshaft is near the position which can be named TDC at scaveng-
ing.
The second time is after the compression stroke and before the
working stroke. Slightly before this TDC the fuel injection takes place
(on an engine in operation) and this TDC can therefore be defined TDC
at firing. Characteristic is that all valves are closed and do not move
if the crankshaft is turned. When watching the camshaft and the
injection pump it is possible to note that the pump tappet roller is on
the lifting side of the fuel cam.
The flywheel is divided in 360°, starting from
TDC at firing for cylinder 1. TDC at firing for every cylinder is marked
on the flywheel. There is a common marking for the cylinders in engines
with even cylinder numbers, one cylinder is at TDC at firing and the
other is at TDC at scavenging. There are separate scales for A- and
B-bank in a V-engine. See also the firing order in chapter 01. Firing
interval, in crank angles, can be determined by dividing 720° with the
number of cylinder.

3200538935

Example: On a VASA 12V32 engine, the fuel timing is read to 17° for
cylinder A2 when the flywheel is in the position shown in the above
figure.

Main principles:
Prevent uncontrolled current loops
Prevent radiation
Prevent sparkles flying around
If convenient, disconnect all global signals like power supply, data
communication etc.

Welding current path must always be checked, there should be a


straight route from the welding point back to the return connection of
the welding apparatus.
The main current is always going where it meets the lowest resistance,
in certain cases the return current can therefore go via grounding wires
and electronics in the control system.
To avoid this, the distance between the welding point and the return
connection clamp of the welding apparatus should always be shortest
possible and without electronic components in the returning loop path.
Attention must be paid to the connectivity of the return connection
clamp, a bad contact might also cause sparkles and radiation.

The welding current and the arc is emitting a wide spectrum of


electromagnetic radiation. This might cause damages on sensitive
electronic equipment.
To avoid these damages all cabinets and terminal boxes must be kept
closed during the welding. Sensitive equipment can also be protected
by means of shielding with a conductive metal plate.
Also avoid having the cables of the welding apparatus going in parallel
with wires and cables in the control system. The high welding current
is easily inducting secondary currents in other conductive materials.

Sparkles are commonly flying around from the welding arc. Few
materials withstand the heat from these sparkles. Therefore all cabi-
nets and terminal boxes should be kept closed during the welding.
Sensors, actuators, cables and other equipment out on the engine must
be protected by means of proper protection.
Sparkles can also be a problem after they have cooled down, i.e. causing
short circuits, sealing problems etc.

The checklists (preferable glued to a plastic plate) in this chapter


should be put into the engines cabinet for respective system type. The
checklist must be easily visible and accessible when opening the
cabinet.

The following precautions must be paid attention to before welding in


the vicinity of a basic ECU system:
Close the cover of the cabinet
Deactive the system by disconnecting all external connectors
(X1...X4).
If convenient, protect cables, sensors and other equipment from
sparkles with a proper metal sheet.

The following precautions must be paid attention to before welding in


the vicinity of a WECS 2000 control system:
Open all terminal fuses (F1- FX) in the cabinet.
Close the covers of the cabinet and all the distributed units.
Deactivate the system by disconnecting all external connectors
(X1...X6).
If convenient, protect cables, sensors and other equipment from
sparkles with a proper metal sheet.

The following precautions must be paid attention to before welding in


the vicinity of a WECS 3000 control system:
Deactive the system by disconnecting all external connectors
(X1...X5).
Do not connect the welding apparatus return line to the alu-
minium profile containing CCU s, KDU s and ignition modules.
The profile is used as a common ground for these modules.
Open all terminal fuses (F1...F20) in the cabinet.
Close the covers of the cabinet and all the distributed units.
If convenient, protect cables, sensors and other equipment from
sparkles with proper metal sheet.

The following precautions must be paid attention to before welding in


the vicinity of a WECS 7000 or 8000 control system:
Deactive the system by disconnecting all external connectors
(X1...X6).
If the welding point is close to (approximately within a radius of
2 m) an electronic module disconnect all connectors of the unit.
If an electronic module is connected through a CIB (Connection
Interface Box) then open the CIB cover and disconnect all connec-
tors of the unit and close cover again.
Close the covers of the cabinet
If engine equipped with harness: Disconnect the interconnections
between the harnesses and the cabinet.
If convenient, protect harnesses, cables, sensors and other equip-
ment from sparkles with a proper metal sheet.

Otherwise, the engine manufacturer can give advice about the correct
output reduction. As a guideline additional reduction may be calculated
as follows:

= 0.5 % for every °C the ambient temperature exceeds the stated


value in the sales documents.
= 1 % for every 100 m level difference above stated value in the sales
documents.
= 0.4 % for every °C the cooling water of the charge air cooler exceeds
the stated value in the sales documents.
The engine is a turbocharged intercooled 4-stroke diesel engine with
direct fuel injection.
The engine block is cast in one piece. The crankshaft is mounted in
the engine block in an underslung way. The main bearing cap is
supported by two hydraulically tensioned main bearing screws and two
horizontal side screws.
The charge air receiver is cast into the engine block as well as the
cooling water header. The crankcase covers, made of light metal, seal
against the engine block by means of rubber sealings.
The lubricating oil sump is welded.
The cylinder liners are designed with high collars and drilled cooling
holes. The cooling effect is optimized to give the correct temperature of
the inner surface.
The liner is provided with an anti-polishing ring in the upper part of
the bore to eliminate the risk of bore polishing.
The main bearings are fully interchangeable trimetal or bimetal
bearings which can be removed by lowering the main bearing cap. A
hydraulic jack is provided for every main bearing to lower and lift the
main bearing cap.
The crankshaft is forged in one piece and is balanced by counter-
weights as required.
The connecting rods in the Wärtsilä Vasa 32 Low NOX engines are
of forged alloy steel and machined with round sections. All connecting
rod studs are hydraulically tightened. The gudgeon pin bearing is of
tri-metal type.
In older engines the connecting rods are drop forged. The big end is
split and the mating faces are serrated. The small end bearing is
stepped to achieve large bearing surfaces. The big end bearings are
fully interchangeable trimetal or bimetal bearings.
The piston ring set in the Wärtsilä Vasa 32 Low NOX engines consist
of two chromium-plated compression rings and one spring loaded oil
scraper ring with chromium-plated edges.
In the older engines the piston ring set consists of three chrome-plated
compression rings and one chrome-plated, spring-loaded oil scraper
rings.
The pistons are fitted with a Wärtsilä patented skirt lubricating
system. The top ring grooves are hardened. Cooling oil enters the
cooling space through the connecting rod. The cooling spaces are
designed to give an optimal shaker effect.
The cylinder head, made of special cast iron, is fixed by four hyd-
raulically tensioned screws. The head is of the double deck design and
cooling water is forced from the periphery towards the centre giving
efficient cooling in important areas.
The inlet valves are stellited and the stems are chromium-plated.
The valve seat rings are made of a special cast iron alloy and are
changeable.
The exhaust valves, also with stellited seats and chromium-plated
stems, seal against the directly cooled valve seat rings. For some
applications Nimonic valves are used.
The seat rings, made of a corrosion and pitting resistant material, are
changeable.
The camshafts are made up from one-cylinder pieces with integrated
cams. The bearing journals are separate pieces and thus it is possible
to remove a camshaft piece sideways.
The injection pumps have integrated roller followers and can nor-
mally be changed without any adjustment. The pumps and piping are
located in a closed space which is heat insulated for heavy fuel running.
The turbochargers are normally located at the free end of the engine
but, at request, can also be located at the driving end.
On a V-engine there are two chargers, one for each bank.
The charge air coolers are made as removable inserts, on the
V-engines two identical ones.
The lubricating oil system includes a gear pump, oil filter, cooler
with thermostat valve (not in V-engine), centrifugal bypass filter and
an electrically driven prelubricating pump. The oil sump is dimen-
sioned for the entire oil volume needed, and all cylinder numbers can
be run in wet sump configuration. Dry sump running is also possible.
The starting system. The air supply into the cylinders is controlled
by the starting air distributor run by the camshaft. The four-cylinder
engine can alt. be provided with an air driven starting motor.

The WÄRTSILÄ® medium-speed diesel engines are designed to oper-
ate on heavy fuel (residual fuel) with a maximum viscosity of 55 cSt at
100 °C (approx. 730 cSt at 50 °C, approx. 7200 Redwood No.1 seconds
at 100 °F) and will operate satisfactorily on blended (intermediate)
fuels of lower viscosity, as well as on distillate fuel. Avoid the use of
fuels having a lower/higher viscosity than values found in the table
below, as such fuels may cause fuel injection pump plunger or fuel
nozzle needle seizure.

The maximum limits of fuel characteristics for a certain engine are


stated in the documentation delivered with the engine.
Blended fuels (residuals and distillate) with a viscosity between
approx. 4 and 7 cSt at 100 °C (12 and 30 cSt at 50 °C, 75 and 200 Redwood
No.1 seconds at 100 °F) containing between 30 and 60 % distillate
should, however, be avoided due to the risk of precipitation of heavy
components in the blend, with filter clogging and large amount of
centrifuge sludge as a consequence.
When difficulties with filter clogging are experienced, fuel incompatibility
can be tested by the ASTM D4740-93 or ISO 10307-1/93 (LFO) or ISO
10307-2/A/93 (HFO) test methods.
02.1.2.1
Heavy fuel (residuals, and mixtures of residuals and distillate) must
be purified in an efficient centrifuge before entering the day tank. The
fuel is to be heated before centrifuging.
Recommended temperatures, depending on the fuel viscosity, are
stated in the diagram, chapter 02, Fig 02-1.
Be sure that the correct gravity disc is used. Never exceed the flow
rates recommended for the centrifuge for the grade of fuel in use. The
lower the flow rate the better the efficiency.

In case pure distillate fuel is used, centrifuging is still recommended


as fuel may be contaminated in the storage tanks.
Rated capacity of the centrifuge may be used provided the fuel
viscosity is less than 12 cSt at centrifuging temperature.
Marine Gas Oil viscosity is normally less than 12 cSt at 15 °C.

02.1.2.2
See diagram, Fig 02-1. Keep the fuel temperature about 10 °C above the
minimum storage temperature indicated in the diagram in order to
minimize the risk of wax formation, and the temperature after the final
heater 5 - 10 °C above the recommended temperature before injection
pumps to compensate for heat losses between heater and engine.
3202529238

Example: A fuel oil with a viscosity of 380 cSt (A) at 50 °C (B) or 80 cSt
at 80 °C (C) must be preheated to 112 - 126 °C (D-E) before the fuel
injection pumps, to 97 °C (F) at the centrifuge and to minimum 40 °C
(G) in storage tanks. The fuel oil may not be pumpable below 36 °C (H).
To obtain temperatures for intermediate viscosities, draw a line from
the known viscosity/temperature point in parallel to the nearest viscos-
ity/temperature line in diagram.
Example: Known viscosity 60 cSt at 50 °C (K). The following can be
read along the dotted line: Viscosity at 80 °C = 20 cSt, temperature at
fuel injection pumps 74 - 86°C, centrifuging temperature 86 °C, mini-
mum storage tank temperature 28 °C.
Conversion from various current and obsolete viscosity units to centi-
stokes can be made in the diagram, Fig 02-2. The diagram should be
used only for conversion of viscosities at the same temperature. The
same temperatures should then be used when entering the visco-
sity/temperature point into the diagram, Fig 02-1.
3202538935

When converting viscosities from one of the units on the abscissa to


centistokes or vice-versa, keep in mind that the result obtained is valid
only at one and the same temperature. When converting the viscosity in
any unit at a given temperature to a viscosity at another temperature,
a viscosity-temperature diagram or conversion rule must be used.

02.1.2.3
An automatic viscosity controller, or a viscosimeter, at least, should be
installed in order to keep the correct viscosity of the fuel before the fuel
enters the engine fuel system.
The diesel engines WÄRTSILÄ® Vasa 32 & 32LN, WÄRTSILÄ® 20,
WÄRTSILÄ® 32 and WÄRTSILÄ® 46 are designed and developed
for continuous operation, without reduction of the rated output, on
fuels with the following properties:

The limits above also correspond to the demands:


ISO 8217:1996(E), ISO-F-RMH 55 and RMK 551)
BS MA 100:1996, RMH 55 and RMK 551)
CIMAC 1990, class H 55 and K 551)
1)
Provided the fuel treatment system can remove water and solids.

Four types of fuels are defined for the WÄRTSILÄ® Vasa 32 & 32LN,
WÄRTSILÄ® 20, WÄRTSILÄ® 32 and WÄRTSILÄ® 46 engines:
HFO 1, heavy fuel oil of normal quality.
HFO 2, heavy fuel oil below normal standard quality.
DO, diesel oil or LFO, light fuel oil.
CRO, Crude oil.
The maintenance intervals are decided by the characteristics of the
used fuel, see Chapter 04 Maintenance Schedule.
The differences between HFO 1 and HFO 2 are seen below:

Foreign substances or chemical waste, hazardous to the safety of the


installation or detrimental to the performance of engines, should not
be contained in the fuel.

is not a measure of the fuel quality, but determines the


complexity of the fuel heating and handling system, as a heavy fuel oil has
to be heated to reach a viscosity of 16 - 24 cSt at the point of injection. At
low viscosities, the flow past the plunger in the injection pump in-
creases. This leads to a decrease in the amount of injected fuel, which
in bad cases might make it impossible to reach full engine output.
The standard engine fuel system is laid out for max. 55 cSt at 100 °C
fuel (approx. 730 cSt at 50 °C, approx. 7200 Redwood No.1 seconds at
100 °F).
influences mainly on the fuel separation. Separators can
remove water and to some extent solid particles from fuels having
densities of up to 991 kg/m3 at 15 °C. There are also separators on the
market that can clean fuel with densities of up to 1010 kg/m3 at 15 °C.
The separator capability must be checked before purchasing a fuel with
a very high density, as a bad separation will lead to abnormal wear due
to unremoved particles and water. The separator disc must be chosen
according to the fuel density.
Heavy fuels may have very low ignition quality. This
may cause trouble at start and low load operation, particularly if the
engine is not sufficiently preheated. Low ignition quality may also
result in a long ignition delay and can cause a fast pressure rise and
very high maximum pressures. This increases the mechanical load and
can even damage engine components such as e.g. piston rings and
bearings severely. Deposits on the piston top, on the exhaust valves, in
the exhaust system, and on the turbine nozzle ring and turbine blades
can also be expected. The turbocharger fouling will lead to decreased
turbocharger efficiency, and increased thermal load.
A symptom of low ignition quality is diesel knock, i.e. hard, high
pitched combustion noise. The effects of diesel knocking are increased
mechanical load on components surrounding the combustion space,
increased thermal load, as well as increased lubricating oil consump-
tion and contamination.

Ignition quality is not defined, nor limited, in marine residual fuel


standards. The same applies to ISO-F-DMC marine distillate fuel.
The ignition quality of a distillate fuel can be determined according
to several methods, i.e. Diesel Index, Cetane Index, and Cetane Num-
ber.
The ignition quality of a heavy fuel oil can be roughly determined by
calculating the CCAI (= Calculated Carbon Aromaticity Index) from
the viscosity and density of a fuel.

= density ( kg/m3 at 15 °C)


= kinematic viscosity ( cSt at 50 °C)

CCAI can also be determined (but with limited accuracy) by the


nomogram, see Fig 02-3.
Straight run fuels show CCAI values in the 770 - 840 range, and are
very good igniters. Cracked residues may run from 840 to over 900,
while most bunkers remain in the 840 to 870 range at present.
The CCAI is not an exact tool for judging fuel ignition properties.
Following rough guidelines can however be given:
Engines running at constant speed and load over 50 % can without
difficulty use fuels with CCAI-values of up to 870.
Engines running at variable speed and load can without difficulty
run on fuels with CCAI-values up to 860.
To avoid difficulties with poor ignition quality fuels the following
should be noted:
Sufficient preheating of the engine before start.
Proper function of the inverse cooling system.
Proper function of the injection system, especially the injection
nozzle condition must be good.

of heavy fuel oils varies widely. Water may come
from several different sources, it can either be fresh or salt. It can also
originate from e.g. condensation in the installation s bunker tanks.
If the water is sweet and very well emulsified in the fuel, the
effective energy content of the fuel decreases with increasing
water content, leading to an increase in fuel consumption.
If the fuel is contaminated with sea water, the chlorine in the salt
will cause corrosion of the fuel handling system, including the
injection equipment. The effects of sodium, that also originates
from salt, are described more in detail below.
To avoid difficulties in the engine fuel injection system the water
content must be reduced to a max. of 0.3 % prior to the engine.
in the fuel may cause cold corrosion and corrosive wear,
especially at low loads. Sulphur also contributes to deposit formation
in the exhaust system, normally together with vanadium and/or so-
dium in the form of sulphates. The deposits can also cause high
temperature corrosion, as described below.
may be detrimental in several ways. Different ash
components can cause different problems:
oxides originate from the refining process,
and can cause severe abrasive wear mainly of the injection pumps
and nozzles, but also of cylinder liners and piston rings. An
efficient fuel separation is a must for minimising wear.
Oxides of , mainly sodium vanadyl
vanadates, are formed during the combustion, and mix or react
with oxides and vanadates of other ash components, e.g. nickel,
calcium, silicon and sulphur. The sticking temperature of the
mixture may be such, that a deposit is formed on a valve, in the
exhaust gas system, or in the turbo-charger. This deposit is highly
corrosive in the molten state, destroying the protective oxide layer
on e.g. an exhaust valve, and leading to hot corrosion and a burned
valve. Deposits and hot corrosion in the turbocharger, especially
on the nozzle ring and turbine blades will cause a decreased
turbocharger efficiency. The gas exchange will be disturbed, less
air flows through the engine, and thus the thermal load on the
engine increases. The deposit formation increases at increased
temperatures and engine outputs.
To avoid the above mentioned problems when running on high ash
fuels, it is important to:
Have an efficient fuel separation.
Clean the turbocharger regularly with water, see section 15.3.
Have a strict quality control of the bunkered fuel, i.e. to see that
the amounts of ash and dangerous ash constituents stay low.
Maintain clean air filters and charge air coolers by regular clean-
ing based on pressure drop monitoring.
may lead to deposit formation in the
combustion chamber and in the exhaust system, especially at low loads.
Deposit formation on injection nozzle tips will disturb the fuel
atomisation and deform the fuel sprays, decreasing the combus-
tion process efficiency, and even leading to locally increased
thermal loads.
Deposits in the piston ring grooves and on the rings will hinder
the movement of the rings, causing a.o. increased blow-by of
combustion gases down to the crank case, which in turn increases
the fouling of the lubricating oil.
Deposits in the exhaust gas system and in the turbocharger will
disturb the gas exchange and increase the thermal load.
may contribute to deposit formation in the
combustion chamber and in the exhaust system, especially at low loads.
Asphaltenes are complex, highly aromatic compounds with a high
molecular weight, that usually contain sulphur, nitrogen and oxygen,
as well as metals like vanadium, nickel, and iron (see Ash above). A
high asphaltene content indicates that a fuel may be difficult to ignite
and that it burns slowly.
If the fuel is unstable, the asphaltenes may precipitate from the fuel
and block filters and/or cause deposits in the fuel system, as well as
excessive centrifuge sludge.
(high vapour pressure) is often seen especially for
crude oils.
The low flash point will not influence the combustion, but the fuel can
be dangerous to handle and store. This is especially the case if the pour
point is high, and the fuel has to be heated due to this. Special explosion
proof equipment and separators can be used in extreme cases.
A high vapour pressure (low flash point) can also give cavitation and
gas pockets in the fuel pipes. These can be avoided by using an elevated
pressure in the fuel handling system.
It is to be noted that some insurance companies demand the use of
fuels having a flash point higher than 60 °C.
tells below which temperature the fuel does not flow,
and determines how easy it will be to handle the fuel. The whole fuel
handling system, including tanks and pipes, must be heated to a
temperature at least 10 - 15 °C above the pour point.
tells something about the fuels stability. If
the TSP is high, the danger of sediment and sludge formation in tanks
and fuel handling systems increases, as well as the probability for filter
clogging.
TSP can also be used as a check for the compatibility of two different
fuels: The two fuels are mixed, and if the TSP for the mix remains low,
the fuels are compatible.

Poor fuel quality will influence on wear, engine part lifetime and
maintenance intervals adversely.
In order to obtain maximum operating economy it is recommendable:

as much as operating condi-


tions allow if fuel is known or suspected to have high vanadium content
(above 200 ppm) and sodium content.
as much as operating conditions allow
if fuel is known or suspected to have high sulphur content (above
3 mass-%), carbon content (Conradson carbon above 12 mass-%)
and/or asphaltene content (above 8 mass-%).
Operating below 20 % of rated output should be limited to max. 100 hours
continuously, by loading the engine above 70 % of rated load for one hour
before continuing the low load operation or shutting down the engine.
Idling (i.e. main engine declutched, generator set disconnected)
should be limited as much as possible. Warming-up of the engine at no
load for more than 3 - 5 minutes before loading, as well as idling for
more than 3 minutes before stopping is unnecessary and should be
avoided.

To avoid stability and incompatibility problems (precipitation of heavy


components in the fuel), avoid, if possible, blending of fuels from
different bunker stations, unless the fuels are known to be compatible.
If stability and compatibility problems occur, never add distillate fuel,
as this will probably increase precipitation. A fuel additive with a
highly powerful dispersing characteristics can be of help until a new
fuel delivery takes place.
The characteristics of heavy fuels blended from residuals from mod-
ern refinery processes like catalytic cracking and visbreaking may
approach at least some of the limits of fuel characteristics given in the
chapter 02., sect. 02.1.3.
Compared with traditional heavy fuels blended from straight run
residuals, the modern heavy fuels may have reduced ignition and
combustion quality.
Fuels blended from catalytic cracking residuals may contain very
abrasive catalytic fines (silicon and aluminium oxides) which, if al-
lowed to enter the injection system, may wear down injection pumps
and nozzles in a few hours.
Some of the difficulties that may occur when operating on heavy fuels
blended from cracked residuals can be avoided by:
Sufficient centrifuging capacity. The best and most disturbance-
free results are obtained with the purifier and clarifier in series.
Alternatively the main and stand-by separators may be run in
parallel, but this makes heavier demands on correct gravity disc
choice and constant flow and temperature control to achieve
optimum results. Flow rate through the centrifuges should not
exceed the maximum fuel consumption by more than 10 %.
Sufficient heating capacity to keep centrifuging and injection
temperatures at recommended levels. It is important that the
temperature fluctuations are as low as possible ( 2 °C before
centrifuge) when centrifuging high viscosity fuels with densities
approaching or exceeding 991 kg/m3 at 15 °C.
Sufficient preheating of the engine and the fuel systems before
starting the engine.
Keeping fuel injection equipment and the inverse cooling system
in good condition.
See also section 02.2.7., Handling of oil samples.

Viscosity class SAE 40. In WÄRTSILÄ® Vasa 32 engine type


also the use of SAE 30 class lubricating oil is allowed.
Min.95
The required lubricating oil alkalinity is tied to the fuel
specified for the engine.

It is recommended to use in the first place BN 50-55 lubricants when


operating on heavy fuel. This recommendation is valid especially for
engines having wet lubricating oil sump and using heavy fuel with
sulphur contents above 2.0 % mass. BN 40 lubricants can be used when
operating on heavy fuel as well if experience shows that the lubricating
oil BN equilibrium remains at an acceptable level.
BN 30 lubricants are recommended to be used only in special cases,
such as installations equipped with an SCR catalyst. Lower BN prod-
ucts eventually have a positive influence on cleanliness of the SCR
catalyst. With BN 30 oils lubricating oil change intervals may be rather
short, but lower total operating costs may be achieved because of better
plant availability provided that the maintenance intervals of the SCR
catalyst can be increased.
BN 30 oils are also a recommended alternative when operating on
crude oil. Though crude oils many times have low sulphur content, they
can contain other acid compounds and thus an adequate alkali reserve
is important.
The oils should contain additives that give good oxidation
stability, corrosion protection, load carrying capacity, neutralization of
acid combustion and oxidation residues, and should prevent deposit
formation on internal engine parts (piston cooling gallery, piston ring
zone and bearing surfaces in particular).
Fresh lubricating oil should meet the follow-
ing limits for foaming tendency and stability (according to the ASTM
D 892-92 test method):
Sequence I: 100/0 ml
Sequence II: 100/0 ml
Sequence III: 100/0 ml
In this test a certain amount of air is blown through the lubricating oil
sample. The first number in the results is the foam volume after a
blowing period of 5 minutes and should be less than or equal to 100 ml.
The second number is the foam volume after a settling period of 10
minutes and should always be 0 ml.
Sequences I and III are performed at a temperature of 24 °C and
sequence II at a temperature of 93.5 °C.

Lubricating oil is an integrated engine component and thus the


quality of it is upmost important. All lubricating oils, which have
been approved for use in WÄRTSILÄ ® Vasa 32, WÄRTSILÄ® Vasa
32LN, WÄRTSILÄ® 20, WÄRTSILÄ® 32 and WÄRTSILÄ® 46 en-
gine types, have gone through an approval test according to the
engine manufacturer s procedure.
The use of approved lubricating oil qualities during the warranty
period is mandatory and is also strongly recommended after the
warranty period.
The list of approved lubricating oils can be found in the end of this
chapter.
is recommended in order to separate
water and insolubles from the oil. Water must not be added when
centrifuging ( washing ). The oil should be pre-heated to 80 - 95 °C.
Many oil manufacturers recommend a separation temperature of
90 - 95 °C for an effective separation. Please check with the supplier
of your lubricating oil what the optimal temperature is. Use the
highest recommended temperature. For efficient centrifuging, use
only about 20 % of the rated flow capacity of the separator. For
optimum conditions the centrifuge should be capable of passing the
entire oil quantity in circulation 4 - 5 times every 24 hour at 20 % of
rated flow. Gravity disc should be chosen acc. to oil density at
separation temperature. Follow the operation instructions given by
the separator manufacturer for optimal performance of the separator.

it is advisable to take samples of the


lubricating oil at 500 operating hours intervals. The sample should be
sent to the oil supplier for analysis. On the basis of the results it is
possible to determine suitable intervals between oil changes. Frequent
oil analysis at 500 - 1000 operating hours intervals is also recom-
mended after the first year of operation to ensure safe engine operation.
See also section 02.2.7., Handling of oil samples.
When estimating the condition of the used oil, the following properties
should be observed. Compare with guidance values (type analysis) for
new oil of the brand used.

Should not decrease by more than 20 % and not rise by more


than 25% above the guidance value at 100 °C.
Should not decrease by more than 25 % and not rise by more than
45% above the guidance value at 40 °C.
Should not fall by more than 50 °C below the guidance
value. Min. permissible flash point 190 °C (open cup) and 170 °C (closed
cup) . At 150 °C risk of crankcase explosion.
Should not exceed 0.3 %. A value higher than 0.3% can
not be accepted for longer periods, but measures must be taken; either
centrifuging or oil change.

Fuel category A and B:


The minimum allowable BN value of a used oil is 50 % of the
nominal value of a new oil.
Fuel categories C and D:
The minimum allowable value of used oil is BN 20.
The quantity allowed depends on various factors. The oil
supplier s recommendations should be followed. However, an n-Pentane
insoluble value above 1.5 % calls for attention. A value higher than 2 %
cannot be accepted for longer periods.
In general it can be said that the changes in the analyses give a better
basis of estimation than the absolute values.
Fast and great changes may indicate abnormal operation of the
engine or of a system.
by adding max. 10 % new oil at a
time. Adding larger quantities can disturb the balance of the used oil
causing, for example, precipitation of insolubles. Measure and record
the quantity added.
Attention to the lubricating oil consumption may give valuable infor-
mation about the engine condition.
A continuous increase may indicate that piston rings, pistons and
cylinder liners are getting worn, and a sudden increase motivates
pulling the pistons, if no other reason is found.
are to be found in chapter
04. Intervals between changes are influenced by system size (oil volume),
operating conditions, fuel quality, centrifuging efficiency and total oil
consumption. Efficient centrifuging and large systems (dry sump opera-
tion) generally allow for long intervals between changes. It is recom-
mended to follow up that the BN value of the lubricating oil keeps within
engine manufacturer s limits during the whole oil change interval.

in the system, see chapter 01, section
01.1.
Oil samples taken at regular intervals analyzed by the oil supplier,
and the analysis results plotted as a function of operating hours is an
efficient way of predicting oil change intervals.
Send or ask the oil supplier to send copies of oil analyses to the engine
manufacturer who will then assist in the evaluation.
In order to minimise the risk of lubricating oil foaming, deposit forma-
tion, blocking of lubricating oil filters, damage of engine components,
etc., the following procedure should be followed when lubricating oil
brand is changed from one to another:
If possible, change the lubricating oil brand in connection with an
engine (piston) overhaul
Drain old lubricating oil from the lubricating oil system
Clean the lubricating oil system in case of an excessive amount of
deposits on the surfaces of engine components, like crankcase,
camshaft compartment, etc.
Fill the lubricating oil system with fresh lubricating oil

If the procedure described above is not followed, responsibility of


possible damage and malfunctions caused by lubricating oil change
should always be agreed between the oil company and customer.

See the Instruction Book for the governor, attached. An oil of viscosity
class SAE 30 or SAE 40 is suitable, and the same oil can be used as
in the engine. Turbocharger oil can also be used in the governor. In
low ambient conditions it may be necessary to use multigrade oil (e.g.
SAE 5W-40) to get a good control during start-up. Oil change interval,
see maintenance schedule chapter 04.
Condensed water, high temperature or leaking drive shaft seal may
cause the oil to deteriorate, or internal surfaces of the governor to collect
deposits. If the reason cannot be clarified and rectified, a shorter oil
change interval or change of oil type should be considered.
The governor should be flushed with the oil in use or gasoil if heavy
contamination of the oil is evident.
Examples of suitable lubricating oils for governor can be found from
the end of this chapter, where the lists of approved lubricating oils for
an engine and turbocharger are available.
If the system is equipped with a start booster, then this should
also be emptied when changing oil.
In installations whereby the actuator is equipped with a filter, it
has to be cleaned when changing oil.
Depending on the governor type, oil should be separately emptied
from the power cylinder. This is done by removing the plug in the
bottom of the power cylinder.
Some governors are equipped with a magnetic oil plug, this plug
should be cleaned in connection with an oil change.
Please note that different types of turbochargers can be used for the
engine. The lubricating system is different for the different turbo-
charger. One type of chargers has a common lubricating oil system with
the engine, see chapter 15, while the other type of chargers has an
internal lubricating system for the bearings, see chapter 15. See the
Instruction Book for the turbocharger, attached.

Oil change interval is1500 h service for special mineral oils and 2500 h
service for synthetic lubricating oils.

The list of approved lubricating oils for the ABB VTR..4 series turbo-
chargers can be found in the end of this chapter. These lubricating oils
are, regarding viscosity and quality, according to the recommenda-
tions.

It is recommended to use EP-gear oils, viscosity 400-500 cSt at


40 °C=ISO VG 460 as lubricating oils for the turning device.
The list of lubricating oils for the engine turning device approved by
the turning device manufacturer can be found in the end of this chapter.

When taking fuel oil or lubricating oil samples the importance of proper
sampling can not be over-emphasised. The accuracy of the analysis
results is significantly dependent on proper sampling and the results
will only be as good as the quality of the sample.
Use clean sample containers holding approximately 1 litre. Clean
sample containers and accessories (IATA carton boxes for transporta-
tion, ready made address labels, etc.) are available for example from
Wärtsilä local network office. Rinse the sampling line properly before
taking the actual sample. Preferably also rinse the sample bottles with
the oil a couple of times before taking the sample, especially if "un-
known" sample bottles need to be used. Close the bottles tightly using
the screw caps provided. Seal all bottles and record all the separate
seal numbers carefully. Put the bottles to be sent for analysing in
Ziploc plastic bags to prevent any spillage. Gently squeeze the Ziploc
bag to minimise any air content prior to sealing.
The background information for the fuel oil/lubricating sample is as
important as the sample itself. Oil samples with no background infor-
mation are of very limited value. The following data are essential to
note when taking the sample:
Installation name
Engine type and number
Engine operating hours
Lubricating oil brand/fuel oil type
Lubricating oil operating hours
Where in the system the lubricating oil/fuel oil sample was taken
Sampling date and seal number of the separate samples if seals
are available
Reason for taking and analysing the sample
Contact information: Name (of the person who took the sample),
telephone, fax, e-mail, etc.
Use for example the ready made "Oil Analyse Application" form, see
Instruction Manual attachments .
Observe personal safety precautions when taking and handling fuel oil
and lubricating oil samples. Avoid breathing oil fumes and mist, use
respirator if necessary. Use strong, heat and hydrocarbon resistant
gloves (nitrile rubber for example). Wear eye goggles if splash risk exists.
Wear facial screen and protecting clothes if hot product is handled.

02.2.7.1
Lubricating oil samples should be taken with the engine in operation
immediately after the lubricating oil filter on the engine. Always take
lubricating oil samples before adding fresh oil to the system.

02.2.7.2
Fuel oil samples can be drawn from different places in the fuel oil
system. Fuel samples as bunkered or before the engine (after fuel
oil separation and filtration) are perhaps the most common sample
types. From the engines point of view the most important fuel oil
sample is naturally the one which enters the engine, i.e. taken after
fuel oil separation and filtration. But if for example fuel oil separator
efficiency needs to be checked samples should be taken just before and
after the separator. It is not advisable to take samples from tank bottom
drain valves, since these will probably contain high levels of water and
sediment and thus the samples will not be representative of the bulk
phase.

Place the bottle with the Ziploc bag inside the IATA carton box and
fold the box according to the assembly instructions given on the box.
Enclose a copy of the "Bunker Receipt", if available, before closing the
last flap on the IATA carton.
Check the DNVPS Air Courier Directory and use appropriate label
for the IATA carton box to ensure that the sample is forwarded to the
nearest DNVPS laboratory. Complete the courier dispatch instructions
on the side of the IATA carton. Fill in the DNVPS universal account
number (950 500 010) to prevent rejection from the courier company
(DHL). Complete the Proforma Invoice Form and tape it to the outside
of the IATA carton.
Call the air courier directly at the number as indicated in the Air
Courier Directory and request urgent pick-up, if necessary. When the
courier arrives you will need to complete an Airway Bill.
It is recommendable to handle the dispatching of the fuel oil and
lubricating oil samples at site. The results will be achieved faster when
the dispatching is handled at site and additionally it is illegal to carry
fuel oil samples as personal luggage on normal aeroplanes.
Support with interpretation of the analysis results and advice on
possible corrective actions is available from Wärtsilä, if needed.
In order to prevent corrosion, scale deposits or other deposits in closed
circulating water systems, the water must be treated with additives.
Before treatment, the water must be limpid and meet the specifica-
tion found in the end of this chapter. Further, the use of an approved
cooling water additive or treatment system is mandatory.

Sea water will cause severe corrosion and deposit formation even if
supplied to the system in small amounts.
Rain water has a high oxygen and carbon dioxide content; great risk
of corrosion; unsuitable as cooling water.
If risk of freezing occurs, please contact the engine manufacturer for
use of anti-freeze chemicals.
Fresh water generated by a reverse osmosis plant onboard often has
a high chloride content (higher than the permitted 80 mg/l) causing
corrosion.

As additives, use products from well-known and reliable suppliers with


vast distribution nets. Follow thoroughly the instructions of the sup-
plier.

In an emergency, if compounded additives are not available, treat the


cooling water with sodium nitrite (NaNO2) in portions of 5 kg/m3. To
obtain a pH value of 9, add caustic soda (NaOH), if necessary.
3202602002

Nitrite based cooling water additives are so called anodic inhibitors and
require proper dosing and maintenance in order to serve as intended.
The nitrite of the additive is as such a salt and it will increase the
conductivity of the water. The conductivity is on the other hand one of
the main parameters affecting the corrosion rate once a corrosion
process gets started, the higher the conductivity the higher the corro-
sion rate.
If the conditions (nitrite level, chlorides, pH, etc.) in the systems are
such that the nitrite based additive is no longer able to protect the
entire surface of the system there may occur a rapid, local corrosion in
the areas that are not protected. The corrosion rate at the attacked
areas will even be much greater than it would be with no additive at
all present in the system, see schematic graph of the corrosion rate as
a function of the nitrite dosage in Fig 02-4. Observe that the position
of the curve peak on the x-axis (= dangerous condition for corrosion) is
not stable, but will shift depending on temperature, pH, chlorides &
sulphates contents, etc. in the cooling water.
The table below shows shows examples of the most common cooling
water additive types.
When changing the additive or when entering an additive into a system
where untreated water has been used, the complete system must be cleaned
(chemically) and rinsed before fresh treated water is poured into the system.
If, against our recommendations, an emulsion oil has been used, the
complete system must be absolutely cleaned of oil and greasy deposits.
Evaporated water should be compensated by untreated water; if
treated water is used the content of additives may gradually become
too high. To compensate for leakage or other losses, add treated water.
In connection with maintenance work calling for drainage of the
water system, take care of and reuse the treated water.
The list of approved cooling water additives and treatment systems
can be found in the end of this chapter.

Most suppliers will provide a test kit for the concentration control.
Additionally a frequent laboratory analysis of cooling water at 3 months
interval is recommended to ensure safe engine operation.

Water used for Direct Water Injection (DWI) has to fulfill the following
requirements:

Fresh water to be used, see also section 02.3.1.


The water must not be contaminated by oil, grease, surfactants or
similar impurities. These kind of impurities may cause blocking of the
filters or other malfunctions in the direct water injection system.
Water quality used for Combustion Air Saturation System (CASS) has
to fulfill the following requirements:

In order to achieve a safe operation of the CASS system and the engine,
water produced with a fresh water generator / distiller has to be used.
The water must not be contaminated by oil, grease, surfactants or
similar impurities. These kind of impurities may cause blocking of the
filters or other malfunctions in the CASS-system.
Fuel oils, lubricating oils and cooling water additives are environmen-
tally hazardous. Take great care when handling these products or
systems containing these products. Detailed information and handling
instructions can be found in the text below.

Prolonged or repetitive contact with the skin may cause irritation and
increase the risk of skin cancer (polyaromatic hydrocarbons, etc.).
Fumes, like hydrogen sulphide or light hydrocarbons, that are irritat-
ing for eyes and respiratory organs may be released during load-
ing/bunkering. Fuel oils are mainly non-volatile burning fluids, but
may also contain volatile fractions. Risk for fire and explosion. May
cause long-term harm and damages in water environments. Risk of
contamination of the soil and the ground water. Take every appropriate
measure to prevent water and soil contamination.

Isolate from ignition sources, like sparks from static electricity for
example.
Avoid breathing evaporated fumes (may contain hydrogen sul-
phide, etc.) during pumping and opening of storage tanks for
example. Use gas mask if necessary.
The handling and storage temperatures must not exceed the flash
point of the product. Should be stored in tanks or containers
designed for flammable fluids.
Must not be let into the sewage system, water systems or onto the
ground.
Methane may during long-term storage be formed in tanks, due
to bacterial activities. Risk of explosions during unloading or
storage tank opening for example.
Cloths, paper or any other absorbent material used to soak up
spills are fire hazards. Do not allow these to accumulate.
Waste that contains the product is hazardous and has to be
disposed of according to directives issued by the local or national
environmental authorities. Collection, regeneration and burning
should be handled by authorized disposal plants.
Respiratory organs protection: Oil mist: Use respirator, com-
bined particle and gas filter. Evaporated fumes (hydrogen sul-
phide, etc.): Use respirator, inorganic gas filter.
Hands protection: Strong, heat and hydrocarbon resistant
gloves (nitrile rubber for example).
Eye protection: Wear goggles if splash risk exists.
Skin and body protection: Wear facial screen and covering
clothing as required. Use safety footwear when handling barrels.
Wear protecting clothes if hot product is handled.

Inhalation of fumes: Move victim to fresh air, keep warm and


lying still. Give oxygen or mouth to mouth resuscitation as
needed. Seek medical advice after significant exposures. Inhala-
tion of oil mist: Seek medical advice.
Skin contact: Hot oil on the skin should be cooled immediately
with plenty of cold water. Wash immediately with plenty of water
and soap. Do not use solvents, the oil is spread and may be
absorbed into the skin. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek
medical advice if irritation develops.
Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, for at least
15 minutes and seek medical advice. If possible, keep rinsing until
eye specialist has been reached.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting, in
order not to risk aspiration into respiratory organs. Seek medical
advice.
Natural gas is non-toxic and will not harm anyone breathing in the low
concentrations near minor fuel leaks. Heavy concentrations, however,
can cause drowsiness and eventual suffocation.
In a gas engine installation, gas may cause danger situations in some
cases. The most serious situations are caused by gas leaks into the
engine room, gas fires and gas explosions caused by unburned gas in
the exhaust system.
If a gas explosion occurs, it is important to protect people, equipment
and environment from damages. Damages are caused by shock wave
and burning effect of the expanding and partly burning gases. Damages
can be avoided by preventing pressure build up in equipment and
guiding the released pressure to an open area.
Read the Gas Safety Manual that can be found at the end of chap-
ter 03 for gas engine installations.

Fresh lubricating oils normally present no particular toxic hazard, but


all lubricants should always be handled with great care. Used lubricat-
ing oils may contain significant amounts of harmful metal and PAH
(polyaromatic hydrocarbons) compounds. Avoid prolonged or repetitive
contact with the skin. Prevent any risk of splashing and keep away
from heat, ignition sources and oxidizing agents. Risk of long term
contamination of the soil and the ground water. Take every appropriate
measure to prevent water and soil contamination.

Ensure adequate ventilation if there is a risk of release of vapours,


mists or aerosols. Do not breathe vapours, fumes or mist.
Keep away from flammable materials and oxidants.
Keep away from food and drinks. Do not eat, drink or smoke while
handling.
Use only containers, piping, etc. which are resistant to hydrocar-
bons. Open the containers in well ventilated surroundings.
Immediately take off all contaminated clothing.
Empty packaging may contain flammable or potentially explosive
vapours.
Cloths, paper or any other absorbent material used to recover
spills are fire hazards. Do not allow these to accumulate. Keep
waste products in closed containers.
Waste that contains the product is hazardous and has to be
disposed of according to directives issued by the local or national
environmental authorities. Collection, regeneration and burning
should be handled by authorized disposal plants.

suspected (during vomiting for example) seek medical advice
immediately.

The products are toxic if swallowed. Concentrated product may cause


serious toxic symptoms, pain giddiness and headache. Significant
intake results in greyish/blue discoloration of the skin and mucus
membranes and a decreasing blood pressure. Skin and eye contact of
the undiluted product can produce intense irritation. Diluted solutions
may be moderately irritating.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.


Keep away from food and drinks. Do not eat, drink or smoke while
handling.
Keep in well ventilated place with access to safety shower and eye
shower.
Soak liquid spills in absorbent material and collect solids in a
container. Wash floor with water as spillage may be slippery.
Contact appropriate authorities in case of bigger spills.
Bulk material can be land dumped at an appropriate site in
accordance with local regulations.

Respiratory protection: Not normally required. Avoid expo-


sure to product mists.
Hands protection: Rubber gloves should be worn (PVC or natu-
ral rubber for example).
Eye protection: Eye goggles should be worn.
Skin and body protection: Use protective clothing and take
care to minimize splashing. Use safety footwear when handling

water. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Immedi-
ately seek medical advice. Do not give anything to drink to an
unconscious person.
When handling the fly ashes, exhaust gas dusts and when working
inside the exhaust gas system or when handling any component
contaminated with exhaust gas dust, at least the following minimum
precautions and safety procedures must be applied:

Employees must be required to study the safety instructions before


they start to overhaul the exhaust gas system or engine components
that have been in contact with exhaust gases.

When opening the manholes of the exhaust gas system and specially
the SCR avoid spreading the dust in the surrounding area. During
replacement of components in the exhaust gas system and during
handling as well as during normal operation of the system, dust
spreading must be avoided.
Appropriate flue gas dust spillage disposal instructions must be
applied. The dusts collected from the exhaust gas system must be
considered as hazardous waste and must be treated according to the
local regulations and legislation.

Respiratory organs protection: Toxi particles: Use P3 filter respi-


rator or for work inside the SCR or other places in the exhaust gas
system, where the dust concentration is high, a respiration mask
with fresh filtered compressed air supply is recommended.
Hands protection: Gloves.
Eye protection: Wear goggles.
Skin and body protection: Wear covering clothing.
Also when machining or cleaning engine components that have been
in contact with exhaust gases, proper protection according to the above
must be used.
Consideration must also be given to whether the ventilation is
suitable for collecting dust from the machining and cleaning of the
components.
Inhalation of ashes: Move victim to fresh air, keep warm and lying
still. Give oxygen or mouth to mouth resuscitation as needed. Seek
medical advice after significant exposures.
Skin contact: Hot ash on the skin should be cooled immediately
with plenty of cold water. Wash immediately with plenty of water
and soap. Do not use solvents, the ash is spread and may be
absorbed into the skin. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek
medical advice if irritation develops.
Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, for at least
15 minutes and seek medical advice. If possible, keep rinsing until

Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting, in
order not to risk aspiration into respiratory organs. Seek medical
advice.

Lead has valuable lubricating properties and therefore it is incorpo-


rated into many bearing alloys.
The bearings in Wärtsilä engines consists of lead and are therefore a
toxic hazardous waste. Lead containing bearings that are not used
anymore must be wasted according to local waste disposal plant
instructions.
In normal sealing applications the use of fluoride rubber products does
not cause any health hazards. The handling of products, e.g. installa-
tion and service, can be made without any risk provided that normal
industrial hygiene is applied.

When changing O-rings, for instance after a valve blow-by, operators


handling the remains of burnt fluoride rubber must wear impenetrable
acidproof gloves to protect the skin from the high corrosive remains.
Appropriate glove materials are neoprene or PVC. All liquid state
remains must be considered to be extremely corrosive.
Neutralisation of the remains can be done by using large amounts of
calcium hydroxide solution (lime water). Used gloves must be disposed
off.

02A.8.2.1

Fluoride rubber can be used in most applications (up to 275 °C) without
any substantial degradation or health hazard. Use of or test of fluoride
rubber at temperatures above 275 °C must be avoided. If the material,
in spite of above recommendations, is exposed to higher temperatures,
or in case of an accident, there is a risk that the temperature will rise
out of control.

02A.8.3.1
Dust and particles which originates from grinding or abrasion (wear)
of fluoride rubber can cause the formation of toxic degradation products
when burned (incinerated). Smoking must therefore be prohibited in
areas where there is fluoride rubber dust and particles present.

02A.8.3.2
In case of a fire, burning fluoride rubber can cause the formation of
toxic and corrosive degradation products (e.g. hydrofluoric acid, car-
bonyl fluoride, carbon monoxide and carbon fluoride fragments of low
molecular weight).
Burning (incineration) of fluoride rubber is allowed only when using
approved incinerators equipped with gas emission reduction systems.
02A.8.3.3
Operators handling the remains of burnt fluoride rubber must wear
impenetrable acid-proof gloves to protect the skin from the high corro-
sive remains of burnt fluoride rubber. Appropriate glove materials are
neoprene or PVC. All liquid state remains must be considered to be
extremely corrosive.

Hand protection: impenetrable acidproof gloves (neoprene or


PVC).
Inhalation protection: breathing mask.

Inhaling: Move the patient from the danger zone. Make sure that
he blows his nose. Consult medical personnel.
Eye contact: Rinse immediately with water. Contact medical
personnel.
Skin contact: Rinse immediately with water, put a 2%-solution of
calcium gluconate gel on the exposed skin. If calcium gluconate-
gel is not available, continue to rinse with water. Contact medical
personnel.

Turning is performed by means of an electrically driven turning device
built on the engine.

The turning device consists of an electric motor which drives the


turning gear through a gear drive and a worm gear. There is a control
box available, including a cable, which allows the turning to be accom-
plished from any position near the engine. The turning speed is about
4.8 RPM.
The engaging and disengaging of the turning gear is made by the lever
(1). The turning gear is spring-loaded outwards in order to prevent it from
meshing with the flywheel when out of operation.
The turning device is provided with a start blocking valve which
prevents starting in case the turning gear is meshing. See chapter 21,
section 21.1.
For careful adjustment of the crankshaft position there is a hand
wheel (2) with which it is possible to perform manual turning.

3203548935
As additional equipment the engine can be provided with a system for
slow turning of the engine before starting, see chapter 21., section 21.7.

Before starting the engine, check that:


the lubricating oil level is correct
the fuel system is in running order (correct preheating, correct
pressure, sufficient precirculation to heat the fuel injection
pumps)
both cooling water system circuits, LT and HT water circuit, are
in running order (correct pressures, circulating water preheated
and pre-circulated sufficiently to heat the engine)
the oil level in the governor and turbocharger(s) is correct
the starting air pressure exceeds 15 bar (normally, 10 bar is still
sufficient to start the engine)
the starting air system is drained of condensate
the drain pipe of the air cooler casing is open, no leakage.

All covers and protecting shields are to be mounted before starting the
engine. Covers should be removed occasionally only for measurements
and checks, and they must be immediately mounted again.

with separate cooling water pump: 1 min idling will be enough,
but the water pump should run for some 5 min more.
by moving the stop lever into stop position. The
time of slowing down offers a good opportunity to detect possible
disturbing sounds.

The engine can always be stopped manually (with the stop lever)
independent of the remote control or automation system.

Move the stop lever into STOP position.


If the engine is to be stopped for a lengthy time, close the
indicator valves. It is also advisable to cover the exhaust pipe opening.
The lubricating oil system on a stopped engine should be filled with
oil every second day by priming the engine. At the same time, turn the
crankshaft into a new position. This reduces the risk of corrosion on
journals and bearings when the engine is exposed to vibrations.
Blow the engine with open indicator valves and start the engine once
a week to check that everything is in order.
If an alarm limit is reached and an alarm is activated, the engine situation
is already serious. All necessary countermeasures must be taken to remove
this emergency condition and return to normal operating conditions. As
the abnormal operating situation may cause damages to the engine, all
efforts must be put into returning to the normal operating situation instead
of just waiting for an automatic shut down of the engine.

and, at the
same time, the load of the engine. All temperatures are more or less
dependent on the load, and the lubricating oil, cooling water and raw
water pressures (built-on pumps) are dependent on the speed. There-
fore, always compare the values read with those at corresponding load
and speed in the Acceptance Test Records and curves. Guidance
values are stated in chapter 01.
The charge air temperature should, in principle, be as low as possible
at loads higher than 60 %, however, not so low that condensation
occurs, see Fig 03-2.
At loads lower than 40 % it is favourable to have a charge air
temperature as high as possible.
When
the pressure drop over the filters increases, the pressure in the system
of the engine decreases. Very low pressure (less than 0.5 bar) before
the injection pumps reduces engine performance and may cause un-
even load distribution between the cylinders (risk of breakdown!). Too
high of a pressure drop may also result in deformation of filter car-
tridges (risk of injection pump seizure).

filters. Too large of a pressure drop indicates clogged filter cartridges,
which results in reduced oil filtration when the by-pass valve is open.
Reduced oil filtration results in increased wear. Vent filters and, if no
improvement, change the cartridges.
in the oil sump/oil tank. Estimate the ap-
pearance and consistency of the oil. A simple control of the water
content: A drop of oil on a hot surface (about 150°C), e.g. a hot-plate. If
the drop keeps quiet , it does not contain water; if it frizzles it
contains water. Compensate for oil consumption by adding max. 10 %
fresh oil at a time.

drain the starting air receiver of water.

3203528930

Example: If the ambient air temperature is 35°C and the relative


humidity is 80 % the water content in the air can be read from the
diagram (0.029 kg water/kg dry air). If the air manifold pressure
(receiver pressure) under these conditions is 2.5 bar, i.e. absolute air
pressure in the air manifold is abt. 3.5 bar (ambient pressure + air
manifold pressure), the dew point will be 55°C ( from diag.). If the air
temperature in the air manifold is only 45°C, the air can only contain
0.018 kg/kg (from diag.). The difference, 0.011 kg/kg (0.029-0.018) will
appear as condensed water.
To avoid malfunction of the engine a regulary maintenance work must
be done, see chapter 04.

Idling (i.e. main engine declutched, generator set disconnected)
should be limited as much as possible. Warming-up of the engine for
more than 3 - 5 minutes before loading, as well as idling more than 3
minutes before stopping is unnecessary and should be avoided.

The running-in of a new engine must be performed according to


programme in Fig 03-3. It is also recommended that running-in proce-
dure is performed after following maintenance jobs.

follow programme in Fig 03-3 as closely as


possible. If the programme cannot be followed, do not load the
engine fully for at least 10 h.

The important thing is to vary the load several times. The ring groove
will have a different tilting angle at each load stage, and consequently
the piston ring a different contact line to the cylinder liner.
The running-in may be performed either on distillate or heavy fuel,
using the normal lubricating oil specified for the engine.

The turning device needs no other maintenance than change of the gear
box lubricating oil once during the first year of operation. Approved

There are two different types of applications defined:
Average load is above 75 % of nominal engine output.
Average load is below 75 % of nominal engine output.

Four types of fuel are defined:


HFO 1 Heavy fuel oil of normal quality.
HFO 2 Heavy fuel oil of below normal standard quality.
DO Diesel oil or light fuel oil (LFO).
NG Natural gas.
The position numbers in the tables below refer to the corresponding
figures A to K, which are located in the engine according to Fig 07-1.
Always tighten to stated torque shown in the tables. A loosen screw
connection might cause serious damages/human injury. Threads and
contact faces of nuts and screw heads should be oiled with lubricating
oil unless otherwise stated. Note that locking fluids are used in certain
cases.

We recommend the use of torque measuring tools also when tightening


other screws and nuts. The following torques apply to screws of the
strength class 8.8; when oiled with lubricating oil or treated with
Loctite.

When using locking fluid (Loctite), clean parts carefully in degreasing


fluid and let then dry completely before applying locking fluid.

The stud bolts are tightened to the casting at the following torques:

If it is impossible to turn the nuts, when the maximum hydraulic


pressure is reached: check for corrosion in threads; check tool condition
and manometer error.

The hydraulic tool set consists of a high pressure hand pump with an
integrated oil container, hoses fitted with quick-coupling s and non-re-
turn valves, cylinders and a pressure gauge mounted on the hand pump
but not connected to the pressure side of the pump.
The components are coupled in series with the pressure gauge being
the last component thus securing that every cylinder is fed with the
correct pressure.
The non-return valves in the hoses are integrated with the quick-cou-
pling s and are opened by the pins located in the centre of the male and
female parts. If these pins get worn the coupling must be replaced
because of the risk of blocking.
In the high pressure hydraulic tool set it is recommended to use
a special hydraulic oil or in any case an oil with a viscosity of about
2°E at 20°C.
During the filling of the container of the high pressure pump it is
recommendable to couple the set according to scheme B, Fig 07-20.
Before filling, open the release valve (2) and empty the cylinders
(4) by pressing the piston and cylinder together. After that, drain
the oil and re-fill through the filling plug (1).
After filling, vent the system by pressing in, with a finger, the
centre pin of the female part of the last quick-coupling, the
coupling being disconnected from the pressure gauge. Keep on
pumping until airfree oil emerges from the coupling.
Check the pressure gauge of the hydraulic tool set regularly. For
this purpose a comparison pressure gauge is delivered. This
pressure gauge can be connected to the plug hole (7), the outlet
hose of the pump being connected direct to the pressure gauges.

To ensure that the nut will be properly tightened, the pressure should be
raised in two steps. Pump the pressure to 300 bar and screw the nut in a
clockwise direction until in close contact with the face. Increase the
pressure further to the stated pressure, and screw the nut until in close
contact with the face again. This time the nut should move just a limited
angle but approximately the same angle for all nuts of the same kind.

For some power demanding operations a hydraulic extractor cylinder
is used. In connection with this cylinder, the hydraulic high pressure
hand pump is utilized, coupling scheme acc. to Fig 07-22.

3207538935

According to the design of the cylinder, the outer cylinder (1) must not
be loaded, but the force is created between the surfaces A and B.
The piston is prevented from running out of the cylinder by an
expansion ring (2). The strength of this ring is limited, and it is
recommended to be careful when operating at the end of the stroke.
The effective area of the piston is 14.42 cm2 which gives the following
relation between pressure and force.
3207548935

A special low pressure pump (150 bar) is delivered for main bearing
cap hydraulic jack in the crankcase. Normal engine oil, which is used
in the engine lubricating system (sump) must be used in this pump
because the drain oil from the tools is led to the sump of the engine.
Chapter 09 is reserved for specific installation data.
Depending on installation, the specific installation data can also be
found from separate binder, Attachments .

All test reports and certificates are collected in series 8 Quality records.
The specific installation data can be found from binder 7A 02 01.
The cast iron engine block is cast in one piece. The jacket water
distributing pipes and the charge air receiver are integrated in the
engine block. The main bearing caps, which support the underslung
crankshaft, are clamped by hydraulically tensioned screws, two from
below and two horizontally. The bearing shells are axially guided by
lugs to provide correct assembly.
A combined flywheel/thrust bearing is located at the driving end. The
flywheel bearing shells are of the same type as the main bearings. The
four thrust washers guide the crankshaft axially.
The camshaft bearing bushes are fitted in housings directly machined
in the engine block.
The cylinder liners, made of special cast iron, have cooling bores in
the upper flange. At the upper part the liners are sealed against the
block metallically, and at the lower part by two O-rings.
To eliminate the risk of bore polishing, the liner is provided with an
anti-polishing ring at the upper part.
The crankcase covers, as well as other covers, tighten against the
engine block by rubber sealings and four screws each. On one side of
the engine the crankcase covers are equipped with safety valves which
relieve the over pressure in case of a crankcase explosion. One cover
incorporates the oil filling hole. The crankcase is furthermore provided
with a vent pipe including a non-return valve. This pipe should be
conducted away from the engine room.
The light, welded oil sump is attached to the engine block from below
and is sealed by an O-ring. Suction pipes to the lube oil pump and
separator as well as the main distributing pipe for lube oil are incorpo-
rated in the oil sump.
From the main distributing pipe the lube oil is led up to the main
bearing through a hydraulic jack, by means of which the bearing cap
can be lowered and lifted, e.g. when inspecting the bearings.

Wear is settled by measuring the thickness of


the lower bearing shells. For this purpose a ball anvil micrometer can
be used. The wear limit in section 06.2 must be applied. If the thickness
of lower bearing shells have not reached the wear limit and the
difference in thickness of all lower bearing shells is max. 0.03 mm, the
shells can be used again.

The main bearing journals should be inspected for surface finish.


Damaged journals, i.e. rough surface, scratches, marks of shocks etc.,
should be polished. If, after a longer running period, considerably
uneven wear appears, section 06.2, the crankshaft may be reground
and used together with thicker bearing shells, see Spare Parts Cata-

Always hone the cylinder liner when new piston rings are mounted.
Normally a light honing is sufficient. If the honing is done when the
cylinder liner is on its place in the engine block, the crankshaft
under the cylinder liner concerned must be covered by plastic film.
Honing rests must be prevented from falling into the oil sump of the
engine. For the honing process the following instructions are pre-
scribed:
The honing is to be carried out by means of Plateau honing .
Only ceramic hones with a coarseness of 80 and 400 should be
used. The hones with a coarseness of 80 should be used for about
20 strokes or until the polished areas in the cylinder liner are over
scraping. The hones with a coarseness of 400 should be used for
about 30 strokes to give the correct surface finish.
The pitch angle of the honing lines in the cross hatch pattern
should be about 30°, which is achieved by combining for example
40 strokes/min with a rotational speed of 100 RPM.
As coolant a honing oil is preferred, but a light fuel oil 2-15 cSt
could also be used.
After honing, the liner bore must be carefully cleaned by using a
suitable brush, water (preferably hot) and soap or cleaning fluid,
alternatively, light fuel oil. Then dry with a cloth and lubricate
with engine oil for corrosion protection.
The honing equipment is delivered with the engine.

. The inside construction of the valve is such that the
pressure in the cylinder tightens it. Consequently the force needed to
close the valve is relatively low. The valve has a left-handed screw and
is opened and closed respectively as follows, Fig 12-2.
Instructions for operation in some cases:
the indicator valves should be
closed using only so weak a force that the sealing surfaces go
together. The pressure of the cylinder will push them tightly to-
gether.
the indicator valves should be
opened only half a turn. Then the tightening caused by a tempera-
ture decrease cannot have an effect.
for measuring the cylin-
der pressure, tightening to open position by force must be avoided.
after measuring the cylin-
der pressure, only a weak torque is needed. A so called finger torque
is usually enough.

(= normal
working air pressure). Open the valve on the tool and record the pressure.
Measure the time in seconds it takes for the
pressure dropping to 0.5 bar.
If the pressure from the beginning was 6 bar and it takes more
than 10 sec. for the pressure to drop to 0.5 bar, the result is
acceptable.
If the pressure drops directly to 0 bar, it is possible that one or
more valves are sticking or the valve(s) are burnt.
A sticking valve can be found from the immobility of the valve
when the engine is turned.
A burnt valve can normally be seen from the exhaust tempera-
ture. If the valve clearance is zero that would also cause an direct
pressure drop.
Carbon particles trapped between the valve and the seat when
the engine is stopped could also prevent the valve to close properly
thus causing a direct pressure drop. If that is suspected, the
engine should be run for a few minutes and after that a new check
of the same cylinder.
If a blow-by between the cylinder liner and piston is suspected e.g.
from fast fouling of filters or high crankcase pressure, it is best to
take readings of the complete engine and make a comparison.
For example: From a six cyl. engine you get a serial: 12, 17, 15,
4, 19 and 18 seconds.
This shows that cyl.no.4 is the one to be suspected for a blow-by.
The test can be verified by listening for leaking sounds inside
crankcase during testing.
If the time is limited to overhaul only one piston, it is recom-
mended to dismantle the worst measured blow-by piston for
inspection. The result of inspection gives a hint of general engine
condition.
When re-testing the cylinder after an overhaul a rapid pressure
drop can be observed. The reason for this is because the running
in of piston rings is not yet performed.

In general, the location of leakage can be found by listening when


the air valve is open.
The turbochargers are of the axial turbine type. The insert type charge
air cooler is mounted in a housing, which also serves as a bracket for
the turbocharger. The housing is normally fitted to the free end of the
engine. V-engines have two identical cooler inserts in a common
housing.
The turbocharger is connected to the engine lubricating oil system.
The charge air outlet is connected to the air duct (2) with metal
bellows (1). The exhaust pipes from the engine are also connected to
the charger with metal bellows. (The exhaust pipe after the turbo-
charger should be arranged according to the installation instructions.)
The turbocharger is equipped with cleaning devices for cleaning both
the compressor and the turbine by water injection.
Materials of the tubes and water boxes of the air cooler depend on the
cooling medium used.

3215980349
Normal overhauls can be carried out without removing the turbo-
charger from the engine. When dismantling, remove the protecting
covers. Loosen the exhaust inlet and outlet pipes.
When reassembling change the seals. High temperature resistant
lubricants are used for exhaust pipe screws.
Maintenance of the turbocharger is carried out according to section
15.3 and to the instructions of the turbocharger manufacturer. It is
recommended to use the service organisation of the engine manufac-
turer or the turbocharger manufacturer.

Instructions for water cleaning of the turbine does not concern 34SG
engines.
As practical experiences show, the dirt deposits on the turbine side
can be reduced by periodic cleaning (washing) during operation. The
overhaul periods can be extended. Dirty turbines cause higher tem-
peratures of the exhaust gas and higher stresses of the bearings due to
imbalances. Usually though, washing of the turbine side is necessary
only when running on heavy fuel.
During long periods of operation, periodic water cleaning prevents
the build-up of significant deposits on the turbine blades and nozzle
blades. This cleaning method does not work on very dirty turbines
which have not been washed regularly.
If the normal water cleaning of the turbine does not lower the exhaust
gas temperature, hard deposits have probably built up on the nozzle
ring and the turbine blades in the turbocharger, and they have to be
cleaned mechanically. For that purpose, the rotor and the nozzle ring
have to be removed from the turbocharger.
When washing with water, the water must be injected into the
exhaust system with the engine running at reduced output (see 15.3.2,
step 2). The disadvantages of occasionally reducing the output is not
significant compared with the advantages of cleaning.
The necessary water flow is basically dependent upon the volume of
gas and its temperature. Additives or solvents must not be used in the
cleaning water. The use of salt water is prohibited.
The turbocharger gas inlets are provided with an inlet valve (1), one
for each bank. The valves are connected to a quick-coupling (2).
The water washing of the turbine should be done as described in
section 15.3.2. The water flow is adjusted by a flow meter (4) to the
recommended value, see table below.
Cleaning should take place regularly according to chapter 04. Mainte-
nance Schedule. Depending on the results obtained, the washing
interval can be increased or reduced.

run the engine for 10 to 20 min. more after the turbocharger has
been cleaned by water. Doing so it is ensured that all the parts in
the exhaust system are completely dry.

The compressor can be cleaned by injecting water during operation .


The method is efficient provided that contamination is not too far
advanced. If the deposit is very heavy and hard, the compressor must
be dismantled and cleaned mechanically.
The injected water does not act as a solvent, the cleaning effect is
achieved by the physical impact of the drops on the deposit. It is
therefore advisable to use clean water containing no additivities either
in the form of solvents or softening agents, which could be precipitated
in the compressor and form deposits.
Regular cleaning of the compressor prevents or delays the formation
of deposit, but it does not eliminate the need of normal overhauls, for
which the turbocharger has to be dismantled.
The water must be injected while the engine is running and at the
highest possible load, i.e. at a high compressor speed. See also turbo-
charger instruction manual, section 3.4.

Cleaning should take place regularly according to chapter 04. Main-


tenance Schedule. Depending on the results obtained, the interval

In case of a serious breakdown of the turbocharger, a blanking device


or a rotor locking device can be fitted according to the instructions in
the turbocharger manual, section 3.1.
When the engine is in an emergency situation like this, it can be able
to operate temporarily at 20% output (DF engines, only in diesel mode).
The thermal overload is a limiting factor on the diesel engine. There-
fore, the exhaust gas temperatures must be carefully watched during
operation with a locked rotor.
The exhaust gas temperature after the cylinders must not exceed
500°C.

check for corrosion.

Cleaning of the air side should be done early enough to avoid accumu-
lations of soot and oil on the fins. This may form a hard crust that is
difficult to remove, as well as a deposition of other crack products that
form a sulphuric acid (Compound with condensate) when left on the
fins and tubes for some time.
Generally an increase of pressure drop ( p) over the air side of the
cooler with 100 mmH2O compared to a new/clean cooler means that
the cooler needs cleaning. The pressure drop should be measured at
100 % load or at least always at the same high load level. See Fig 15-1
for connections.
Cleaning of the water and air side heat exchange surfaces is imperative
for a long and trouble free operation of the engine and must be done at
regular intervals.

This new procedure can be combined with ultrasonic equipment if


available.

Cleaning with ultrasonic equipment will loosen the deposits but it has
to be combined with an efficient flushing to remove the deposits from
the cooler. It is also important that the correct settings, temperature
and detergent is used, according to manufacturer s instruction, when
cleaning with ultrasonic cleaning.
Normally, a wet sump system is used, but also dry sump systems can
be used.
The engine is provided with a lubricating oil pump (10) directly driven
by the pump gear at the free end of the crankshaft. In some installations
there is a separately driven stand-by pump in parallel. The pump sucks
oil from the engine oil sump and forces it through the lubricating oil
cooler (1) equipped with a thermostat valve (3) regulating the oil
temperature, through the lubricating oil main filters (4) to the main
distributing pipe (5) in the oil sump, through the hydraulic jacks (in
this respect acting as ordinary pipes) to the main bearings and through
bores in the connecting rods to the gudgeon pins (6) and piston cooling
spaces. Oil is led through separate pipes to other lubricating points like
camshaft bearings (7), injection pump tappets and valves, rocker arm
bearings (8) and valve mechanism gear wheel bearings and to oil
nozzles for lubricating and cooling. Part of the oil flows through a
centrifugal filter back to the oil sump. The oil sump is provided with a
level switch connected to the automatic alarm system.
The V-engine is not equipped with a built-on oil cooler nor a filter.
The dry sump system differs from the wet sump system only in that
the oil flows freely from the oil sump to a separate tank, and the pump
sucks the oil from this tank. (There is also the possibility to mount a
second oil pump directly driven by the engine for draining the oil sump
to a separate oil tank.)
The electrically driven prelubricating pump is a screw type pump
equipped with an overflow valve. The pump is used for:
filling of the diesel engine lubricating oil system before starting,
e.g. when the engine has been out of operation for a long time,
continuous prelubrication of a stopped diesel engine through
which heavy fuel is circulating,
continuous prelubrication of stopped diesel engine(s) in a multi-
engine installation always when one of the engines is running,
providing additional capacity to the direct driven lubricating oil
pump in certain installations where the diesel engine speed drops
below a certain value (the pump should start and stop automat-
ically on signals from the speed measuring system).
In V-engines which have no built-on lubricating oil pump, the prelu-
brication should be arranged by means of an external pump.
The pressure in the distributing pipe (5) is regulated by a pressure
control valve (11) on the pump. The pressure can be adjusted by means
of a set screw (Fig 18-2, pos. 17) on the control valve. It is very important
to keep the correct pressure in order to provide efficient lubrication of
bearings and cooling of pistons. Normally, the pressure stays constant
after having been adjusted to the correct value.
The pressure can rise above the nominal value when starting with cold
oil but will return to the normal value when the oil is heated. A pressure
gauge (9) on the instrument panel indicates the lubricating oil pressure
before the engine (in the engine distributing pipe). The system includes
three pressure switches for low lubricating oil pressure (2), two con-
nected to the automatic alarm system and one for lower pressure to the
automatic stop system (see chapter 23.).
The temperature can be checked from thermometers (14) before and
after the oil cooler (chapter 01., section 01.2). A temperature switch for
high lubricating oil temperature is connected to the automatic alarm
system (see chapter 23).
The speed governor have its own oil system. Depending on the
turbocharger type, it can be lubricated by an own oil system or by the
engine oil system. See separate instruction books.
The oil filling opening (12) is located at the free end, and an oil dipstick
(13) is located at the middle of the engine.
Connections for a separator are provided on the oil sump at the free
end of the engine.
For taking oil sample a valve (15) is available after oil filter.

Use only high quality oils approved by the engine manufacturer


according to chapter 02., section 02.2.
Always keep a sufficient quantity of oil in the system. The oil dipstick
indicates the maximum and minimum limits between which the oil
level may vary. Keep the oil level near the max. mark and never allow
the level to go below the min. mark. The limits apply to the oil level in
a running engine. Add max. 10 % new oil at a time (see chapter 02.,
section 02.2). One side of the dipstick is graduated in centimeters. This
scale can be used when checking the lubricating oil consumption.
Change oil regularly at intervals determined by experience from the
installation concerned, see chapter 04. and 02., section 02.2.3.While the
oil is still warm, drain the oil system, also the oil cooler and filter. Clean
the crankcase and the oil sump with proper rags (not cotton waste).
Clean the main filter and the centrifugal filter. Change cartridges in
the main filter unless they have been changed recently.
Centrifuging of the oil is recommended, especially when using heavy
fuels, see chapter 02., section 02.2.3.

The pump is of the gear type, equipped with a built-on, combined


pressure regulating/safety valve. Four and six cylinder engines have
pumps with two pump gears each, according to Fig 18-2. The pumps of
8- to 18-cylinder engines have three pump gears each, and the two-fold
pressure and suction spaces are connected by ducts in the pump cover,
where the pressure control/safety valve is also located. Identical bronze
bearings are used. No outside lubrication is required. The cover is
sealed by an O-ring.

The pressure regulating valve is mounted on the lubricating oil pump and
regulates the oil pressure before the engine by returning the surplus oil
direct from the pressure side of the pump to the suction side.
The pipe (10), Fig 18-2, is connected to the engine distributing pipe,
where the pressure is kept constant in engines running at constant speed.
This pressure actuates the servo piston (9) and the force is transferred to
the regulating piston (14) through the pin (6). The spring (16) is tensioned
to balance this force at the required pressure. Thus the pressure is kept
constant in the distributing pipe, irrespective of the pressure in the
pressure side of the pump and of the pressure drop in the system. By
tensioning the spring (16) a higher oil pressure is obtained.
In engines which are running at varying speeds, the valve is arranged
to give a pressure depending on the speed, according to operating
pressures recommended at various speeds (chapter 01).
If, for some reason, the pressure should increase strongly in the
pressure pipe, e.g. due to clogged system, the ball (12) will open and
allow oil to pass to the servo piston (9), which will open the regulating
piston (14) by means of the pin (6).
The valve serves as a safety valve.

The plate cooler consists of a number of heat transfer plates, arranged


so that every other passage between the plates is accessible for one of
the two liquids. A double gasket has a channel to the atmosphere
between the gasket parts and prevents leakage between the media.
Each plate cooler is marked with the compression measure and
the specification number of the plate pack.
A damaged plate can easily be replaced by an identical spare plate.
Two adjoining plates can be removed without being replaced. The
capacity of the cooler will usually be slightly reduced. The plate pack
length (A) will be reduced by the assembly length of two plates (2 2.6 mm).

The figure shows the valve in a closed position (left). When the
temperature exceeds the nominal value, the contents of the elements
(9) expand and force the valve unit (10) towards the seat (11), thus
passing part of the oil through the cooler. This movement continues
until the right temperature of the mixed oil is obtained. As the cooler
becomes dirtier, the temperature will rise a few degrees, which is quite
normal, because the valve needs a certain temperature rise for a certain
opening to increase the oil flow through the cooler.

3218648932
Normally, no service is required. Too low an oil temperature depends
on a defective thermostat. Too high a temperature may depend on
defective thermostat, although, in most cases, it depends on dirty
cooler.
Remove the elements by unscrewing the pipe after the valve and
opening the cover.
Check the element by heating it slowly in water. Check at which
temperatures the element starts opening and is fully open. The correct
values can be found in chapter 01.; the lower value for lube oil tempera-
ture is the opening temperature, the higher for the fully open valve.
Change the defective element. Check O-rings and change, if neces-
sary.

The in-line engines are provided with built-on filters (Fig 18-6) as
follows:
4R32 1 pc of filter with 3 cartridges on each side
6R32 2 pcs of filters with 2 cartridges on each side
8R32 2 pcs of filters with 2 respectively 3 cartridges on each side
9R32 2 pcs of filters with 3 cartridges on each side
The V-engines can be provided with filters according to Fig 18-7. In
that case, 12V32 has a filter consisting of three filter units connected
together. 16V32 and 18V32 have four filter units connected together.
The filters are full-flow filters, i.e. the whole oil flow passes through
the filter(s). Normally, all filter units should be in operation to provide
maximal filtration. When changing a cartridge during operation, one
filter half can occasionally be closed.
For the in-line engine, the flow direction appears from the mark on
the three-way valve cock (9). In Fig 18-6 C the valve is shown in normal
operating position (each side in operation).
When changing cartridges during operation one side can occasionally
be closed, e.g. by closing the right side according to Fig 18-6 D.
For the V-engine, the pin (12) on the cock (9) shows the direction of
the filter unit which is closed according to the table in Fig 18-7.
The position of the valve ( position ), which filter units are in opera-
tion ( open ) and which one is closed ( closed ) are stated in the table.
The black field states the position of the pin (12). Position B indicates
normal operation with all filter units in service. Note that for 12V32
the filter unit 4 is missing.
The arrows in the figures show the flow through the filters. At first,
the oil flows through a cartridge (2), made of special paper, with a
nominal fineness of 15 m, then through a cartridge (3) consisting of a
plated wire gauze around a perforated case. The wire gauze insert, with
a mesh of 63 m, serves as a safety filter in case of failure or by-passing
of the paper insert.
The filters are provided with by-pass valves (7) over the paper
cartridges. The valves open when the pressure drop exceeds 2 - 3 bar.

The filter is provided with a combined visual indicator/electrical


switch connected to the automatic alarm system, which indicates high
pressure drop over the filter.

3218549045
3218559045

Careful maintenance of the filter reduces engine wear. Change car-


tridges regularly (see chapter 04.) and, if the pressure drop indicator
gives alarm, as soon as possible.
As the useful life of the cartridge is, to a great extent, dependent on
the fuel quality, load, lubricating oil quality, centrifuging and care of
centrifugal filter, experience from the installation concerned will give
the most suitable intervals between changes of cartridges.
Change of cartridges and cleaning should, if possible, be done during
stoppages. By closing one of the filter halves, the cartridge can, how-
ever, be changed during operation. As the load on the other cartridges
(especially in 4R32) will increase, the change of cartridges should be
carried out as fast as possible.

Open the air vent screw (1) and afterwards the


drain plug (8), and discharge oil through the plug (8). Do not refill

and check that it moves easily in the bore.

A by-pass filter of the centrifugal type is provided as a complement to


the main filter. For V-engines two identical filters are used.
The filter comprises a housing (7) containing a hardened steel spindle
(2) on which a dynamical balanced rotor unit (3) is free to rotate. Oil
flows through the housing, up the central spindle into the rotor.
The rotor comprises two compartments, a cleaning chamber and a
driving chamber. Oil flows from the central tube (4) into the upper part
of the rotor, where it is subject to a high centrifugal force. The dirt is
deposited on the walls of the rotor in the form of heavy sludge.
The oil then passes from the cleaning compartment into the driving
compartment formed by the stand-tube (13) and the lower part of the
rotor, which carries two driving nozzles (6). The passage of the clean
oil through the nozzles provides a driving torque to the rotor and the
oil returns through the filter housing to the engine oil sump.

It is very important to clean the filter regularly (chapter 04.) as it


collects considerable quantities of dirt. A clean centrifugal filter un-
loads the main filter, which gives longer lifetime for the paper car-
tridges.
If it is found that the filter has collected the maximum quantity of
dirt (corresponds to an 18 mm thick layer) at the recommended clean-
ing intervals, it should be cleaned more frequently.
Clean the filter as follows, the engine running, by closing the valve
on the oil delivery pipe to the filter:
on the filter cover clamp (14), unscrew the
cover nut (1) and lift off the filter body cover (8).

The pump is of the screw type, driven by an electric motor. The pump
is provided with an adjustable pressure control valve (15), Fig 18-9.
The pressure should be limited to the min. value, about 2 bar, by
unscrewing the adjusting screw (14) to the end position in order to
prevent the electric motor from being overloaded when running with
very cold oil.
The mechanical type shaft seal consists of two plane sealing surfaces
facing each other one of them (8) rotating with the shaft and the
other one (6) being stationary.

See the manual of the manufacturer. Normally, no regular mainte-


nance is required. After three to six years the shaft seal may have to
be replaced due to ageing. Oil leaking out of the opening (5) indicates
that the shaft seal is defective and has to be changed.
