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:

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.
In case the engine power can be utilized under more difficult conditions
than those mentioned above, it will be stated in the sales documents.
Otherwise, the engine manufacturer can give advice about the correct
output reduction. As a guideline additional reduction may be calculated
as follows:
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
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:
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:

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

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
lubricating oils, see section 02.2.6. After that, the oil should be changed
according to chapter 04. Check also that the vent hole (3), Fig 03-1 is

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.

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.

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.

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.
use form No.

The water side of the cylinder liner can be cleaned of deposits with a
wire brush. The cooling bores in the collar can be cleaned by boring
with a suitable drill (ø 9.5 - 10 mm).
3210619908
The cylinder heads are cast of special quality grey iron. Each head
includes two inlet valves, two exhaust valves, a centrally located
injection valve, a starting valve (on V-engine B-bank, a dummy), a
safety valve and an indicator valve.

if there is a coherent sealing face, grinding is not necessary. Valve and
seat ring grinding, see section 12.3.4.
If the clea-
rance is too large, measure the stem and guide, and change the worn
part; the valve guide can be pressed out. Check the bore in the
cylinder head. When refitting, cooling in with liquid air is recom-
mended, but pressing in with oil lubrication can also be accepted.
After fitting in, check the guide bore and calibrate, if necessary.

(= 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.
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.
3215050245
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.

see section 15.5.6 We recommend that cleaning tank should be
equipped with perforated pipes on the bottom for the best cleaning
effect, see Fig 15-4. During cleaning steam or pressurised air should
be connected to the pipes to get a good circulation.
When cleaning is completed, the cooler should be flushed thor-
oughly with water.
3215869701
The instructions and handling guidelines provided by the manufac-
turer of the detergent in question should always be observed when
using the chemical.
When an air cooler is due for cleaning Wärtsilä recommend using the
cleaning method together with the latest type of Wärtsilä Biodegrad-
able cleaning concentrate, Wärtsilä Combi Degreaser, product number
C51003.
This Wärtsilä Combi Degreaser concentrate is environmentally
friendly and not harmful for health, not fire hazardous, does not affect
O-rings or gaskets and is not corrosive.
For inquiries and price quotation for the product, contact your nearest

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.

without using any tool. If the gear
wheel does not come loose, a few strokes with a non-recoiling
hammer will help. (The conical ring elements come loose together
with the gear wheel.)
3218589045
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.

if some details have been replaced by new ones).
3218639045
wait until it has cooled to about 40°C.
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 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.
