This Project Guide is intended to provide the information necessary for the layout of a marine
propulsion plant.
The information is to be considered as preliminary. It is intended for the project stage only and
subject to modification in the interest of technical progress. The Project Guide provides the general technical data available at the date of issue.
It should be noted that all figures, values, measurements or information about performance
stated in this project guide are for guidance only and should not be used for detailed design
purposes or as a substitute for specific drawings and instructions prepared for such purposes.
Data updates
Data not finally calculated at the time of issue is marked Available on request. Such data may
be made available at a later date, however, for a specific project the data can be requested.
Pages and table entries marked Not applicable represent an option, function or selection which
is not valid.
The latest, most current version of the individual Project Guide sections are available on the
Internet at: www.mandieselturbo.com under Quicklinks: Marine Engines & Systems Low
Speed.
Extent of Delivery
The final and binding design and outlines are to be supplied by our licensee, the engine maker,
see Chapter 20 of this Project Guide.
In order to facilitate negotiations between the yard, the engine maker and the customer, a set of
Extent of Delivery forms is available in which the basic and the optional executions are specified.
Electronic versions
This Project Guide book and the Extent of Delivery forms are available on a DVD and can also
be found on the Internet at: www.mandieselturbo.com under Quicklinks: Marine Engines & Systems Low Speed, where they can be downloaded.

The ME Tier II Engine

The ever valid requirement of ship operators is
to obtain the lowest total operational costs, and
especially the lowest possible specific fuel oil
consumption at any load, and under the prevailing
operating conditions.
However, lowspeed twostroke main engines of
the MC type, with a chain driven camshaft, have
limited flexibility with regard to fuel injection and
exhaust valve activation, which are the two most
important factors in adjusting the engine to match
the prevailing operating conditions.
A system with electronically controlled hydraulic
activation provides the required flexibility, and
such systems form the core of the ME Engine
Control System, described later in detail in Chap
ter 16.

The starting valves are opened pneumatically by

electronically controlled On/Off valves, which
make it possible to dispense with the mechani
cally activated starting air distributor.
By electronic control of the above valves accord
ing to the measured instantaneous crankshaft po
sition, the Engine Control System fully controls the
combustion process.
System flexibility is obtained by means of different
Engine running modes, which are selected either
automatically, depending on the operating condi
tions, or manually by the operator to meet specific
goals. The basic running mode is Fuel economy
mode to comply with IMO NOx emission limita
tion.

Engine design and IMO regulation compliance

Concept of the ME engine

The ME engine concept consists of a hydraulic
mechanical system for activation of the fuel injec
tion and the exhaust valves. The actuators are
electronically controlled by a number of control
units forming the complete Engine Control Sys
tem.
MAN Diesel has specifically developed both the
hardware and the software inhouse, in order to
obtain an integrated solution for the Engine Con
trol System.
The fuel pressure booster consists of a simple
plunger powered by a hydraulic piston activated
by oil pressure. The oil pressure is controlled by
an electronically controlled proportional valve.
The exhaust valve is opened hydraulically by
means of a twostage exhaust valve actuator
activated by the control oil from an electronically
controlled proportional valve. The exhaust valves
are closed by the air spring.

The ME-C engine is the shorter, more compact

version of the MC engine. It is well suited wherev
er a small engine room is requested, for instance
in container vessels.
The ME-GI is a dual fuel engine burning natural
gas, otherwise sharing the same compact design
as the ME-C engine. It is designed for the highly
specialised LNG carrier market.
For MAN B&W ME/ME-C/ME-GI-TII designated
engines, the design and performance parameters
have been upgraded and optimised to comply
with the International Maritime Organisation (IMO)
Tier II emission regulations.
The potential derating and part load SFOC figures
for the Tier II engines have also been updated.
For engines built to comply with IMO Tier I emis
sion regulations, please refer to the Marine Engine
IMO Tier I Project Guide.

In the hydraulic system, the normal lube oil is used

as the medium. It is filtered and pressurised by a
Hydraulic Power Supply unit mounted on the en
gine or placed in the engine room.

ME Advantages

Differences between MC/MC-C and

ME/ME-C engines

The advantages of the ME range of engines are

quite comprehensive, as seen below:
Lower SFOC and better performance param
eters thanks to variable electronically controlled
timing of fuel injection and exhaust valves at any
load

The electrohydraulic control mechanisms of the

ME engine replace the following components of
the conventional MC engine:
Chain drive for camshaft
Camshaft with fuel cams, exhaust cams and
indicator cams

Appropriate fuel injection pressure and rate

shaping at any load
Improved emission characteristics, with smoke
less operation

Fuel pump actuating gear, including roller

guides and reversing mechanism
Conventional fuel pressure booster and VIT system

Easy change of operating mode during opera

tion

Exhaust valve actuating gear and roller guides

Simplicity of mechanical system with wellproven simple fuel injection technology familiar
to any crew

Engine driven starting air distributor

Control system with more precise timing, giving

better engine balance with equalized thermal
load in and between cylinders

Regulating shaft

System comprising performance, adequate

monitoring and diagnostics of engine for longer
time between overhauls

Mechanical cylinder lubricators.

Electronic governor with actuator

Engine side control console

The Engine Control System of the ME engine

comprises:

Lower rpm possible for manoeuvring

Control units
Better acceleration, astern and crash stop per
formance
Integrated Alpha Cylinder Lubricators
Upgradable to software development over the
lifetime of the engine
It is a natural consequence of the above that more
features and operating modes are feasible with
our fully integrated control system and, as such,
will be retrofittable and eventually offered to own
ers of ME engines.

Engine Power Range and Fuel Oil Consumption

Engine Power
The following tables contain data regarding the
power, speed and specific fuel oil consumption of
the engine.
Engine power is specified in kW for each cylinder
number and layout points L1, L2, L3 and L4:
Discrepancies between kW and metric horsepower (1 BHP = 75 kpm/s = 0.7355 kW) are a consequence of the rounding off of the BHP values.
L1 designates nominal maximum continuous rating
(nominal MCR), at 100% engine power and 100%
engine speed.
L2, L3 and L4 designate layout points at the other
three corners of the layout area, chosen for easy
reference.

Specific Fuel Oil Consumption (SFOC)

The figures given in this folder represent the values obtained when the engine and turbocharger
are matched with a view to obtaining the lowest
possible SFOC values while also fulfilling the IMO
NOX Tier II emission limitations.
Stricter emission limits can be met on request, using proven technologies.
The SFOC figures are given in g/kWh with a tolerance of 5% and are based on the use of fuel with
a lower calorific value of 42,700 kJ/kg (~10,200
kcal/kg) at ISO conditions:
Ambient air pressure..............................1,000 mbar
Ambient air temperature................................. 25 C
Cooling water temperature............................. 25 C
Although the engine will develop the power specified up to tropical ambient conditions, specific
fuel oil consumption varies with ambient conditions and fuel oil lower calorific value. For calculation of these changes, see Chapter 2.

Scavenge Air Cooler

Exhaust Turbocharger

For each turbocharger is fitted a scavenge air

cooler of the monoblock type designed for seawater cooling, alternatively, a central cooling system with freshwater can be chosen. The working
pressure is up to 4.5 bar.

The engines can be fitted with either MAN, ABB or

MHI turbochargers. As an option, MAN TCA and
ABB A100-L turbochargers can be delivered with
variable nozzle technology that reduces the fuel
consumption at part load by controlling the scavenge air pressure.

The scavenge air cooler is so designed that the

difference between the scavenge air temperature
and the water inlet temperature at specified MCR
can be kept at about 12 C.

The turbocharger choice selection is described in

Chapter 3, and the exhaust gas system in Chapter
15.

Auxiliary Blower

Reversing

The engine is provided with electricallydriven

scavenge air blowers. The suction side of the
blowers is connected to the scavenge air space
after the air cooler.

Reversing of the engine is performed electronically and controlled by the Engine Control System,
by changing the timing of the fuel injection, the
exhaust valve activation and the starting valves.

Between the air cooler and the scavenge air receiver, nonreturn valves are fitted which automatically close when the auxiliary blowers supply
the air.
The auxiliary blowers will start operating consecutively before the engine is started in order to
ensure sufficient scavenge air pressure to obtain
a safe start.

The Hydraulic Power Supply

The hydraulic power supply (HPS) filters and pressurises the lube oil for use in the hydraulic system.
Depending on the engine type, the HPS consists
of 2-4 pumps driven either mechanically by the
engine or electrically. The hydraulic pressure is
300 bar.

Further information is given in Chapter 14.

An electrically driven HPS can be mounted on the
engine, usually aft, or in the engine room.
Exhaust Gas System
From the exhaust valves, exhaust gas is led to
the exhaust gas receiver where the fluctuating
pressure from the individual cylinders is equalised, and the total volume of gas is led to the
turbocharger(s). After the turbocharger(s), the gas
is led to the external exhaust pipe system.
Compensators are fitted between the exhaust
valves and the receiver, and between the receiver
and the turbocharger(s).

The engine driven HPS is mounted aft for engines

with chain drive aft (8 cylinders or less), and at the
middle for engines with chain drive located in the
middle (9 cylinders or more).
A combined HPS, mechanically driven with electrically driven start-up/back-up pumps for takehome power, is available as an option for ME/
ME-C engines type 98-60 while basic execution
for S50ME-C.

The exhaust gas receiver and exhaust pipes are

provided with insulation, covered by galvanised
steel plating.
A protective grating is installed between the exhaust gas receiver and the turbocharger.

Hydraulic Cylinder Unit

The hydraulic cylinder unit (HCU), one per cylinder, consists of a base plate on which a distributor
block is mounted. The distributor block is fitted
with one or more accumulators to ensure that the
necessary hydraulic oil peak flow is available during the fuel injection sequence.
The distributor block serves as a mechanical support for the hydraulically activated fuel pressure
booster and the hydraulically activated exhaust
valve actuator.

The mechanically driven starting air distributor

used on the MC engines has been replaced by
one solenoid valve per cylinder, controlled by the
CCUs of the Engine Control System.
Slow turning before starting is a program incorporated in the basic Engine Control System.
The starting air system is described in detail in
Section 13.01.
The starting valve is opened by control air and is
closed by a spring. The integrated Engine Control
System controls the starting valve timing.

Fuel Oil Pressure Booster

Exhaust Valve
The engine is provided with one hydraulically activated fuel oil pressure booster for each cylinder.
Fuel injection is activated by a multi-way valve
(FIVA), which is electronically controlled by the
Cylinder Control Unit (CCU) of the Engine Control
System.
Further information is given in Section 7.01.
Fuel Valves and Starting Air Valve
The cylinder cover is equipped with two or three
fuel valves, starting air valve, and indicator cock.
The opening of the fuel valves is controlled by
the high pressure fuel oil created by the fuel oil
pressure booster, and the valves are closed by a
spring.
An automatic vent slide allows circulation of fuel
oil through the valve and high pressure pipes
when the engine is stopped. The vent slide also
prevents the compression chamber from being
filled up with fuel oil in the event that the valve
spindle sticks. Oil from the vent slide and other
drains is led away in a closed system.

The exhaust valve consists of the valve housing

and the valve spindle. The valve housing is made
of cast iron and is arranged for water cooling. The
housing is provided with a water cooled bottom
piece of steel with a flame hardened seat of the
W-seat design. The exhaust valve spindle is made
of Nimonic. The housing is provided with a spindle
guide.
The exhaust valve is tightened to the cylinder
cover with studs and nuts. The exhaust valve is
opened hydraulically by the electronic valve activation system and is closed by means of air pressure.
The operation of the exhaust valve is controlled
by the proportional valve which also activates the
fuel injection.
In operation, the valve spindle slowly rotates, driven by the exhaust gas acting on small vanes fixed
to the spindle.
Sealing of the exhaust valve spindle guide is provided by means of Controlled Oil Level (COL), an
oil bath in the bottom of the air cylinder, above the
sealing ring. This oil bath lubricates the exhaust
valve spindle guide and sealing ring as well.

The fuel oil highpressure pipes are of the doublewall type with built-in conical support. The pipes
are insulated but not heated.

Engine Layout and Load Diagrams

y=log(P)

Introduction

P=n xc

i=0

The effective power P of a diesel engine is proportional to the mean effective pressure pe and
engine speed n, i.e. when using c as a constant:

log (P) = i x log (n) + log (c)

i=1

P = c x pe x n

so, for constant mep, the power is proportional to

the speed:

i=2

i=3

P = c x n1 (for constant mep)

x = log (n)
178 05 403.1

When running with a Fixed Pitch Propeller (FPP),

the power may be expressed according to the
propeller law as:

Fig. 2.01.02: Power function curves in logarithmic scales

Thus, propeller curves will be parallel to lines having the inclination i = 3, and lines with constant
mep will be parallel to lines with the inclination i = 1.

P = c x n3 (propeller law)

Thus, for the above examples, the power P may

be expressed as a power function of the speed n
to the power of i, i.e.:

Therefore, in the Layout Diagrams and Load Diagrams for diesel engines, logarithmic scales are
used, giving simple diagrams with straight lines.

P = c x ni

Fig. 2.01.01 shows the relationship for the linear

functions, y = ax + b, using linear scales.

Propulsion and Engine Running Points

Propeller curve

The power functions P = c x ni will be linear functions when using logarithmic scales:

log (P) = i x log (n) + log (c)

The relation between power and propeller speed

for a fixed pitch propeller is as mentioned above
described by means of the propeller law, i.e. the

Normally, estimates of the necessary propeller

power and speed are based on theoretical calculations for loaded ship, and often experimental
tank tests, both assuming optimum operating
conditions, i.e. a clean hull and good weather. The
combination of speed and power obtained may
be called the ships propeller design point (PD),

Engine layout (heavy propeller)
When determining the necessary engine layout
speed that considers the influence of a heavy running propeller for operating at high extra ship resistance, it is (compared to line 6) recommended to
choose a heavier propeller line 2. The propeller
curve for clean hull and calm weather line 6 may
then be said to represent a light running (LR)
propeller.

Fouled hull
When the ship has sailed for some time, the hull
and propeller become fouled and the hulls resistance will increase. Consequently, the ships
speed will be reduced unless the engine delivers
more power to the propeller, i.e. the propeller will
be further loaded and will be heavy running (HR).
As modern vessels with a relatively high service
speed are prepared with very smooth propeller
and hull surfaces, the gradual fouling after sea
trial will increase the hulls resistance and make
the propeller heavier running.
Sea margin and heavy weather
If, at the same time the weather is bad, with head
winds, the ships resistance may increase compared to operating in calm weather conditions.
When determining the necessary engine power, it
is normal practice to add an extra power margin,

MAN B&W MC/MCC, ME/MEGI/ME-B engines

Besides the sea margin, a socalled engine margin of some 10% or 15% is frequently added. The
corresponding point is called the specified MCR
for propulsion (MP), and refers to the fact that the
power for point SP is 10% or 15% lower than for
point MP.
Point MP is identical to the engines specified
MCR point (M) unless a main engine driven shaft
generator is installed. In such a case, the extra
power demand of the shaft generator must also
be considered.
Constant ship speed lines
The constant ship speed lines , are shown at
the very top of the figure. They indicate the power
required at various propeller speeds in order to
keep the same ship speed. It is assumed that, for
each ship speed, the optimum propeller diameter
is used, taking into consideration the total propulsion efficiency. See definition of in Section 2.02.
Note:
Light/heavy running, fouling and sea margin are
overlapping terms. Light/heavy running of the
propeller refers to hull and propeller deterioration
and heavy weather, whereas sea margin i.e. extra
power to the propeller, refers to the influence of
the wind and the sea. However, the degree of light
running must be decided upon experience from
the actual trade and hull design of the vessel.

Propeller diameter and pitch, influence on the optimum propeller speed

In general, the larger the propeller diameter D,
the lower is the optimum propeller speed and the
kW required for a certain design draught and ship
speed, see curve D in the figure below.

Once an optimum propeller diameter of maximum

7.2 m has been chosen, the corresponding optimum pitch in this point is given for the design
speed of 14.5 knots, i.e. P/D = 0.70.

The maximum possible propeller diameter depends on the given design draught of the ship,
and the clearance needed between the propeller
and the aft body hull and the keel.

However, if the optimum propeller speed of 100

r/min does not suit the preferred / selected main
engine speed, a change of pitch away from optimum will only cause a relatively small extra power
demand, keeping the same maximum propeller
diameter:

The example shown in the figure is an 80,000 dwt

crude oil tanker with a design draught of 12.2 m
and a design speed of 14.5 knots.

going from 100 to 110 r/min (P/D = 0.62) requires

8,900 kW i.e. an extra power demand of 80 kW.

When the optimum propeller diameter D is increased from 6.6 m to 7.2. m, the power demand
is reduced from about 9,290 kW to 8,820 kW, and
the optimum propeller speed is reduced from 120
r/min to 100 r/min, corresponding to the constant
ship speed coefficient = 0.28 (see definition of
in Section 2.02, page 2).

going from 100 to 91 r/min (P/D = 0.81) requires

8,900 kW i.e. an extra power demand of 80 kW.

In both cases the extra power demand is only

of 0.9%, and the corresponding equal speed
curves are =+0.1 and =0.1, respectively, so
there is a certain interval of propeller speeds in
which the power penalty is very limited.

Constant ship speed lines

The constant ship speed lines , are shown at
the very top of Fig. 2.02.02. These lines indicate
the power required at various propeller speeds to
keep the same ship speed provided that the optimum propeller diameter with an optimum pitch
diameter ratio is used at any given speed, taking
into consideration the total propulsion efficiency.
Normally, the following relation between necessary power and propeller speed can be assumed:

area and parallel to one of the lines, another

specified propulsion MCR point MP2 upon this
line can be chosen to give the ship the same
speed for the new combination of engine power
and speed.
Fig. 2.02.02 shows an example of the required
power speed point MP1, through which a constant
ship speed curve = 0.25 is drawn, obtaining
point MP2 with a lower engine power and a lower
engine speed but achieving the same ship speed.

P2 = P1 x (n2 /n1)

Provided the optimum pitch/diameter ratio is used

for a given propeller diameter the following data
applies when changing the propeller diameter:

where:
P = Propulsion power
n = Propeller speed, and
= the constant ship speed coefficient.

for general cargo, bulk carriers and tankers

= 0.25 0.30
and for reefers and container vessels

For any combination of power and speed, each

point on lines parallel to the ship speed lines gives
the same ship speed.
When such a constant ship speed line is drawn
into the layout diagram through a specified propulsion MCR point MP1, selected in the layout

= 0.15 0.25

When changing the propeller speed by changing

the pitch diameter ratio, the constant will be different, see above.

Engine Layout and Load Diagram

Engine Layout Diagram

Matching point (O)

An engines layout diagram is limited by two constant mean effective pressure (mep) lines L1 L3
and L2 L4, and by two constant engine speed
lines L1 L2 and L3 L4. The L1 point refers to the
engines nominal maximum continuous rating, see
Fig. 2.04.01.

For practical reasons we have chosen to use the

designation O for the matching point.

Within the layout area there is full freedom to select the engines specified SMCR point M which
suits the demand for propeller power and speed
for the ship.
On the horizontal axis the engine speed and on
the vertical axis the engine power are shown on
percentage scales. The scales are logarithmic
which means that, in this diagram, power function
curves like propeller curves (3rd power), constant
mean effective pressure curves (1st power) and
constant ship speed curves (0.15 to 0.30 power)
are straight lines.

The matching point O is placed on line 1 of the

load diagram, see Fig. 2.04.01, and for technical
reasons the power of O always has to be equal to
the power of M. Point O normally coincides with
point M.
For ME, ME-C and ME-GI engines, the timing of
the fuel injection and the exhaust valve activation
are electronically optimised over a wide operating range of the engine. Therefore the selection of
matching point only has a meaning in connection
with the turbocharger matching and the compression ratio.
For ME-B engines, only the fuel injection (and not
the exhaust valve activation) is electronically controlled over a wide operating range of the engine,
and the compression ratio is nearly constant as
for an MC engine.

Specified maximum continuous rating (M)

Based on the propulsion and engine running
points, as previously found, the layout diagram
of a relevant main engine may be drawnin. The
SMCR point (M) must be inside the limitation lines
of the layout diagram; if it is not, the propeller
speed will have to be changed or another main
engine type must be chosen.

The lowest specific fuel oil consumption for the

ME, ME-C and ME-GI engines is optained at 70%
and for ME-B engines at 80% of the matching
point (O).

The continuous service rating is the power needed in service including the specified sea margin

Engine Load Diagram

Definitions

Engine shaft power, % of A

The engines load diagram, see Fig. 2.04.02, defines the power and speed limits for continuous as
well as overload operation of an installed engine
having a matching point O and a specified MCR
point M that confirms the ships specification.
Point A is a 100% speed and power reference
point of the load diagram, and is defined as the
point on the propeller curve (line 1), through the
matching point O, having the specified MCR
power. Normally, point M is equal to point A, but
in special cases, for example if a shaft generator
is installed, point M may be placed to the right of
point A on line 7.
The service points of the installed engine incorporate the engine power required for ship propulsion
and shaft generator, if installed.

Line 3 and line 9:

Line 3 represents the maximum acceptable speed
for continuous operation, i.e. 105% of A.
During trial conditions the maximum speed may
be extended to 107% of A, see line 9.

The overspeed setpoint is 109% of the speed

in A, however, it may be moved to 109% of the
nominal speed in L1, provided that torsional vibration conditions permit.

The above limits may in general be extended to

105% and during trial conditions to 107% of the
nominal L1 speed of the engine, provided the torsional vibration conditions permit.

Running at low load above 100% of the nominal L1

speed of the engine is, however, to be avoided for
extended periods. Only plants with controllable
pitch propellers can reach this light running area.

Limits for low load running
As the fuel injection is automatically controlled
over the entire power range, the engine is able to
operate down to around 15% of the nominal L1
speed.

MAN B&W ME/ME-C/ME-GI/ME-B-TII engines

Recommendation
Continuous operation without limitations is allowed only within the area limited by lines 4, 5,
7 and 3 of the load diagram, except on low load
operation for CP propeller plants mentioned in the
previous section.
The area between lines 4 and 1 is available for
operation in shallow waters, heavy weather and
during acceleration, i.e. for nonsteady operation
without any strict time limitation.
After some time in operation, the ships hull and
propeller will be fouled, resulting in heavier running of the propeller, i.e. the propeller curve will
move to the left from line 6 towards line 2, and
extra power is required for propulsion in order to
keep the ships speed.
In calm weather conditions, the extent of heavy
running of the propeller will indicate the need for
cleaning the hull and possibly polishing the propeller.
Once the specified MCR (and the matching point)
have been chosen, the capacities of the auxiliary
equipment will be adapted to the specified MCR,
and the turbocharger specification and the compression ratio will be selected.
If the specified MCR (and the matching point) is to
be increased later on, this may involve a change
of the pump and cooler capacities, change of the
fuel valve nozzles, adjusting of the cylinder liner
cooling, as well as rematching of the turbocharger
or even a change to a larger size of turbocharger.
In some cases it can also require larger dimensions of the piping systems.
It is therefore of utmost importance to consider,
already at the project stage, if the specification
should be prepared for a later power increase.
This is to be indicated in the Extent of Delivery.

Extended load diagram for ships operating in extreme heavy running conditions
When a ship with fixed pitch propeller is operating in normal sea service, it will in general be
operating in the hatched area around the design
propeller curve 6, as shown on the standard load
diagram in Fig. 2.04.02.
Sometimes, when operating in heavy weather, the
fixed pitch propeller performance will be more
heavy running, i.e. for equal power absorption of
the propeller, the propeller speed will be lower
and the propeller curve will move to the left.
As the low speed main engines are directly coupled to the propeller, the engine has to follow the
propeller performance, i.e. also in heavy running
propeller situations. For this type of operation,
there is normally enough margin in the load area
between line 6 and the normal torque/speed limitation line 4, see Fig. 2.04.02. To the left of line 4
in torquerich operation, the engine will lack air
from the turbocharger to the combustion process,
i.e. the heat load limits may be exceeded and
bearing loads might also become too high.
For some special ships and operating conditions,
it would be an advantage when occasionally
needed to be able to operate the propeller/main
engine as much as possible to the left of line 6,
but inside the torque/speed limit, line 4.

Extended load diagram for speed derated engines with increased light running
The maximum speed limit (line 3) of the engines is
105% of the SMCR (Specified Maximum Continuous Rating) speed, as shown in Fig. 2.04.02.
However, for speed and, thereby, power derated
engines it is possible to extend the maximum
speed limit to 105% of the engines nominal MCR
speed, line 3, but only provided that the torsional
vibration conditions permit this. Thus, the shafting, with regard to torsional vibrations, has to be
approved by the classification society in question,
based on the extended maximum speed limit.
When choosing an increased light running to be
used for the design of the propeller, the load diagram area may be extended from line 3 to line 3,
as shown in Fig. 2.04.03, and the propeller/main
engine operating curve 6 may have a correspondingly increased heavy running margin before exceeding the torque/speed limit, line 4.
A corresponding slight reduction of the propeller efficiency may be the result, due to the higher
propeller design speed used.

Such cases could be for:

ships sailing in areas with very heavy weather
ships operating in ice
ships with two fixed pitch propellers/two main
engines, where one propeller/one engine is declutched for one or the other reason.
The increase of the operating speed range between line 6 and line 4 of the standard load diagram, see Fig. 2.04.02, may be carried out as
shown for the following engine Example with an
extended load diagram for speed derated engine
with increased light running.

Example 3 shows the same layout for an engine

with fixed pitch propeller (example 1), but with a
shaft generator.

Example 4 is a special case of example 3, where

the specified MCR is placed near the top of the

layout diagram.
In this case the shaft generator is cut off,
and the GenSets used when the engine runs
at specified MCR. This makes it possible to
choose a smaller engine with a lower power output.

Example 5 shows diagrams for an engine

coupled to a controllable pitch propeller, with

or without a shaft generator, constant speed or
combinator curve operation.

For a specific project, the layout diagram for actual project shown later in this chapter may be used
for construction of the actual load diagram.

this case point A is equal to point M and point O.

Once point A has been found in the layout diagram, the load
diagram can be drawn, as shown in the figure, and hence the

by using the inclinations from the construction lines and the

Also for this special case in example 4, a shaft generator is

installed but, compared to example 3, this case has a specified MCR for propulsion, MP, placed at the top of the layout
diagram.
This involves that the intended specified MCR of the engine
M will be placed outside the top of the layout diagram.
One solution could be to choose a larger diesel engine with
an extra cylinder, but another and cheaper solution is to reduce the electrical power production of the shaft generator
when running in the upper propulsion power range.

In choosing the latter solution, the required specified MCR

power can be reduced from point M to point M as shown.
Therefore, when running in the upper propulsion power range,
a diesel generator has to take over all or part of the electrical
power production.
However, such a situation will seldom occur, as ships are
rather infrequently running in the upper propulsion power
range.
Point A, having the highest possible power, is then found at
the intersection of line L1 L3 with line 1 and the corresponding load diagram is drawn. Point M is found on line 7 at MPs
speed, and point O=A.

The position of the combinator curve ensures the

maximum load range within the permitted speed
range for engine operation, and it still leaves a
reasonable margin to the limit indicated by curves
4 and 5.

Layout diagram without shaft generator

If a controllable pitch propeller (CPP) is applied,
the combinator curve (of the propeller) will normally be selected for loaded ship including sea
margin.
The combinator curve may for a given propeller
speed have a given propeller pitch, and this may
be heavy running in heavy weather like for a fixed
pitch propeller.
Therefore it is recommended to use a light running combinator curve (the dotted curve which
includes the sea power margin) as shown in the
figure to obtain an increased operation margin of
the diesel engine in heavy weather to the limit indicated by curves 4 and 5.

Specific Fuel Oil Consumption, ME versus MC engines

As previously mentioned the main feature of the
ME engine is that the fuel injection and the exhaust valve timing are optimised automatically
over the entire power range, and with a minimum
speed down to around 15% of the L1 speed.
Comparing the specific fuel oil comsumption
(SFOC) of the ME and the MC engines, it can be
seen from the figure below that the great advantage of the ME engine is a lower SFOC at part
loads.

For the ME engine only the turbocharger matching

and the compression ratio (shims under the piston
rod) remain as variables to be determined by the
engine maker / MAN Diesel.
The calculation of the expected specific fuel oil
consumption (SFOC) can be carried out by means
of the following figures for fixed pitch propeller and for controllable pitch propeller, constant
speed. Throughout the whole load area the SFOC
of the engine depends on where the matching
point (O) is chosen.

It is also noted that the lowest SFOC for the ME

engine is at 70% of O, whereas it was at 80% of O
for the MC engine.

SFOC reference conditions and guarantee

SFOC at reference conditions

SFOC guarantee

The SFOC is given in g/kWh based on

the reference ambient conditions stated in
ISO 3046-1:2002(E) and ISO 15550:2002(E):
1,000 mbar ambient air pressure
25 C ambient air temperature
25 C scavenge air coolant temperature

The SFOC guarantee refers to the above ISO reference conditions and lower calorific value and is
valid for one running point only. The guaranteed
running point is equal to the powerspeed combination in the matching point (O) = 100% SMCR
but, if requested, a running point between 85%
and 100% SMCR can be selected.

and is related to a fuel oil with a lower calorific

value of 42,700 kJ/kg (~10,200 kcal/kg).

The SFOC guarantee is given with a tolerance

of 5%.

Any discrepancies between g/kWh and g/BHPh

are due to the rounding of numbers for the latter.
For lower calorific values and for ambient conditions that are different from the ISO reference
conditions, the SFOC will be adjusted according
to the conversion factors in the table below.

Recommended cooling water temperature

during normal operation
In general, it is recommended to operate the main
engine with the lowest possible cooling water
temperature to the air coolers, as this will reduce
the fuel consumption of the engine, i.e. the engine
performance will be improved.
However, shipyards often specify a constant
(maximum) central cooling water temperature
of 36 C, not only for tropical ambient temperature conditions, but also for lower ambient temperature conditions. The purpose is probably to
reduce the electric power consumption of the
cooling water pumps and/or to reduce water condensation in the air coolers.
Thus, when operating with 36 C cooling water
instead of for example 10 C (to the air coolers),
the specific fuel oil consumption will increase by
approx. 2 g/kWh.

Examples of Graphic Calculation of SFOC

The following diagrams a, b and c, valid for fixed
pitch propeller (b) and constant speed (c), respectively, show the reduction of SFOC in g/kWh, relative to the SFOC for the nominal MCR L1 rating.
The solid lines are valid at 100%, 70% and 50% of
matching point (O).
Point O is drawn into the abovementioned Diagrams b or c. A straight line along the constant
mep curves (parallel to L1L3) is drawn through
point O. The intersections of this line and the
curves indicate the reduction in specific fuel oil
consumption at 100, 70 and 50% of the matching
point, related to the SFOC stated for the nominal
MCR L1 rating.
An example of the calculated SFOC curves are
shown in Diagram a, and is valid for an engine
with fixed pitch propeller, see Fig. 2.10.01.

Fuel Consumption at an Arbitrary Load

Once the matching point (O) of the engine has
been chosen, the specific fuel oil consumption at
an arbitrary point S1, S2 or S3 can be estimated
based on the SFOC at point 1 and 2.

The SFOC curve through points S2, on the left

of point 1, is symmetrical about point 1, i.e. at
speeds lower than that of point 1, the SFOC will
also increase.

These SFOC values can be calculated by using

the graphs for the relevant engine type for the
propeller curve I and for the constant speed curve
II, giving the SFOC at points 1 and 2, respectively.

The abovementioned method provides only an

approximate value. A more precise indication of
the expected SFOC at any load can be calculated
by using our computer program. This is a service
which is available to our customers on request.

Next the SFOC for point S1 can be calculated as

an interpolation between the SFOC in points 1
and 2, and for point S3 as an extrapolation.

Emission Control
IMO NOx emission limits

3050% NOx reduction

All ME, ME-B, ME-C and ME-GI engines are, as

standard, delivered in compliance with the IMO
speed dependent NOx limit, measured according to ISO 8178 Test Cycles E2/E3 for Heavy Duty
Diesel Engines. These are referred to in the Extent
of Delivery as EoD: 4 06 060 Economy mode with
the options: 4 06 060a Engine test cycle E3 or 4
06 060b Engine test cycle E2.

Water emulsification of the heavy fuel oil is a well

proven primary method. The type of homogenizer is either ultrasonic or mechanical, using water
from the freshwater generator and the water mist
catcher.

NOx reduction methods

The NOx content in the exhaust gas can be reduced with primary and/or secondary reduction
methods.
The primary methods affect the combustion process directly by reducing the maximum combustion temperature, whereas the secondary methods are means of reducing the emission level
without changing the engine performance, using
external equipment.

The pressure of the homogenised fuel has to be

increased to prevent the formation of steam and
cavitation. It may be necessary to modify some of
the engine components such as the fuel oil pressure booster, fuel injection valves and the engine
control system.
Up to 9598% NOx reduction
This reduction can be achieved by means of
secondary methods, such as the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction), which involves an
aftertreatment of the exhaust gas, see Section
3.02.
Plants designed according to this method have
been in service since 1990 on five vessels, using
Haldor Topse catalysts and ammonia as the reducing agent, urea can also be used.

030% NOx reduction

The ME engines can be delivered with several
operation modes, options: 4 06 063 Port load, 4
06 064 Special emission, 4 06 065 Other emission
limit, and 4 06 066 Dual fuel.
These operation modes may include a Low NOx
mode for operation in, for instance, areas with restriction in NOx emission.

The SCR unit can be located separately in the

engine room or horizontally on top of the engine.
The compact SCR reactor is mounted before
the turbocharger(s) in order to have the optimum
working temperature for the catalyst. However attention have to be given to the type of HFO to be
used.

For further information on engine operation

modes, see Extent of Delivery.

Updated turbocharger data based on the latest
information from the turbocharger makers are
available from the Turbocharger Selection
program on www.mandiesel.com under
Turbocharger Overview Turbocharger
Selection.
The data specified in the printed edition are valid
at the time of publishing.
The MC/ME engines are designed for the application of either MAN Diesel, ABB or Mitsubishi (MHI)
turbochargers.
The turbocharger choice is made with a view to
obtaining the lowest possible Specific Fuel Oil
Consumption (SFOC) values at the nominal MCR
by applying high efficiency turbochargers.

The engines are, as standard, equipped with as

few turbochargers as possible, see the table in
Fig. 3.01.01.
One more turbocharger can be applied, than the
number stated in the tables, if this is desirable due
to space requirements, or for other reasons. Additional costs are to be expected.
However, we recommend the Turbocharger selection programme on the Internet, which can be
used to identify a list of applicable turbochargers
for a specific engine layout.

Exhaust Gas Bypass

Extreme Ambient Conditions
As mentioned in Chapter 1, the engine power figures are valid for tropical conditions at sea level:
45 C air at 1000 mbar and 32 C sea water,
whereas the reference fuel consumption is given at ISO conditions: 25 C air at 1000 mbar and
25 C charge air coolant temperature.
Marine diesel engines are, however, exposed to
greatly varying climatic temperatures winter and
summer in arctic as well as tropical areas. These
variations cause changes of the scavenge air
pressure, the maximum combustion pressure, the
exhaust gas amount and temperatures as well as
the specific fuel oil consumption.
For further information about the possible countermeasures, please refer to our publication titled:

Exhaust gas receiver with variable

bypass
option: 4 60 118

Compensation for low ambient temperature can

be obtained by using exhaust gas bypass system.
This arrangement ensures that only part of the exhaust gas goes via the turbine of the turbocharger, thus supplying less energy to the compressor
which, in turn, reduces the air supply to the engine.
Please note that if an exhaust gas bypass is applied the turbocharger size and specification has
to be determined by other means than stated in
this Chapter.

Influence of Ambient Temperature Conditions

Arctic running condition

For air inlet temperatures below 10 C the precautions to be taken depend very much on the
operating profile of the vessel. The following alternative is one of the possible countermeasures.
The selection of countermeasures, however, must
be evaluated in each individual case.

NOx Reduction by SCR

The NOx in the exhaust gas can be reduced with
primary or secondary reduction methods. Primary
methods affect the engine combustion process
directly, whereas secondary methods reduce the
emission level without changing the engine performance using equipment that does not form
part of the engine itself.
For further information about emission control we
refer to our publication:
Exhaust Gas Emission Control Today and Tomorrow
The publication is available at www.mandiesel.com
under Quicklinks Technical Papers
Engine with Selective Catalytic Reduction System
Option: 4 60 135
If a reduction between 50 and 98% of NOx is required, the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
system has to be applied by adding ammonia or
urea to the exhaust gas before it enters a catalytic
converter.
The exhaust gas must be mixed with ammonia before passing through the catalyst, and in order to
encourage the chemical reaction the temperature
level has to be between 300 and 400 C. During
this process the NOx is reduced to N2 and water.
This means that the SCR unit has to be located
before the turbocharger on twostroke engines
because of their high thermal efficiency and thereby a relatively low exhaust gas temperature.
The amount of ammonia injected into the exhaust gas is controlled by a process computer
and is based on the NOx production at different
loads measured during the testbed running. Fig.
3.03.01.
As the ammonia is a combustible gas, it is supplied through a doublewalled pipe system, with
appropriate venting and fitted with an ammonia
leak detector (Fig. 3.03.01) which shows a simplified system layout of the SCR installation.

Electricity Production
Introduction

Main engine driven generators

The DMG/CFE (Direct Mounted Generator/Constant Frequency Electrical) and the SMG/CFE
(Shaft Mounted Generator/Constant Frequency
Electrical) are special designs within the PTO/CFE
group in which the generator is coupled directly to
the main engine crankshaft and the intermediate
shaft, respectively, without a gear. The electrical
output of the generator is controlled by electrical
frequency control.

Exhaust gas- or steam driven turbo generator

utilising exhaust gas waste heat (Thermo Efficiency System)

Within each PTO system, several designs are

available, depending on the positioning of the
gear:

Emergency diesel generating sets.

BW I:
Gear with a vertical generator mounted onto the
fore end of the diesel engine, without any connections to the ship structure.

Next to power for propulsion, electricity production is the largest fuel consumer on board. The
electricity is produced by using one or more of the
following types of machinery, either running alone
or in parrallel:
Auxiliary diesel generating sets

The machinery installed should be selected on the

basis of an economic evaluation of first cost, operating costs, and the demand for man-hours for
maintenance.
In the following, technical information is given regarding main engine driven generators (PTO), different configurations with exhaust gas and steam
driven turbo generators, and the auxiliary diesel
generating sets produced by MAN Diesel.

Power Take Off

With a generator coupled to a Power Take Off
(PTO) from the main engine, electrical power
can be produced based on the main engines
low SFOC and the use of heavy fuel oil. Several
standardised PTO systems are available, see Fig.
4.01.01 and the designations in Fig. 4.01.02:
PTO/RCF
(Power Take Off/Renk Constant Frequency):
Generator giving constant frequency, based on
mechanicalhydraulical speed control.

BW II:
A freestanding gear mounted on the tank top
and connected to the fore end of the diesel engine, with a vertical or horizontal generator.
BW III:
A crankshaft gear mounted onto the fore end of
the diesel engine, with a sidemounted generator without any connections to the ship structure.
BW IV:
A freestanding stepup gear connected to the
intermediate shaft, with a horizontal generator.
The most popular of the gear based alternatives
are the BW III/RCF type for plants with a fixed
pitch propeller (FPP). The BW III/RCF requires no
separate seating in the ship and only little attention from the shipyard with respect to alignment.

PTO/CFE
(Power Take Off/Constant Frequency Electrical):
Generator giving constant frequency, based on
electrical frequency control.

PTO/RCF
is bolted directly to the frame box of the main
engine. The bearings of the three gear wheels
are mounted in the gear box so that the weight of
the wheels is not carried by the crankshaft. In the
frame box, between the crankcase and the gear
drive, space is available for tuning wheel, counterweights, axial vibration damper, etc.

Side mounted generator, BWIII/RCF

(Fig. 4.01.01, Alternative 3)
The PTO/RCF generator systems have been developed in close cooperation with the German
gear manufacturer RENK. A complete package
solution is offered, comprising a flexible coupling,
a stepup gear, an epicyclic, variableratio gear
with builtin clutch, hydraulic pump and motor,
and a standard generator, see Fig. 4.01.03.

The first gear wheel is connected to the crankshaft via a special flexible coupling made in one
piece with a tooth coupling driving the crankshaft
gear, thus isolating it against torsional and axial
vibrations.

For marine engines with controllable pitch propellers running at constant engine speed, the
hydraulic system can be dispensed with, i.e. a
PTO/GCR design is normally used.

By means of a simple arrangement, the shaft in

the crankshaft gear carrying the first gear wheel
and the female part of the toothed coupling can
be moved forward, thus disconnecting the two
parts of the toothed coupling.

Fig. 4.01.03 shows the principles of the PTO/RCF

arrangement. As can be seen, a stepup gear box

The power from the crankshaft gear is transferred, via a multidisc clutch, to an epicyclic
variableratio gear and the generator. These are
mounted on a common bedplate, bolted to brackets integrated with the engine bedplate.
The BWIII/RCF unit is an epicyclic gear with a
hydrostatic superposition drive. The hydrostatic
input drives the annulus of the epicyclic gear in
either direction of rotation, hence continuously
varying the gearing ratio to keep the generator speed constant throughout an engine speed
variation of 30%. In the standard layout, this is
between 100% and 70% of the engine speed at
specified MCR, but it can be placed in a lower
range if required.
The input power to the gear is divided into two
paths one mechanical and the other hydrostatic
and the epicyclic differential combines the
power of the two paths and transmits the combined power to the output shaft, connected to the
generator. The gear is equipped with a hydrostatic
motor driven by a pump, and controlled by an
electronic control unit. This keeps the generator
speed constant during single running as well as
when running in parallel with other generators.
The multidisc clutch, integrated into the gear input shaft, permits the engaging and disengaging
of the epicyclic gear, and thus the generator, from
the main engine during operation.
An electronic control system with a RENK controller ensures that the control signals to the main
electrical switchboard are identical to those for
the normal auxiliary generator sets. This applies
to ships with automatic synchronising and load
sharing, as well as to ships with manual switchboard operation.
Internal control circuits and interlocking functions
between the epicyclic gear and the electronic
control box provide automatic control of the functions necessary for the reliable operation and
protection of the BWIII/RCF unit. If any monitored
value exceeds the normal operation limits, a warning or an alarm is given depending upon the origin, severity and the extent of deviation from the
permissible values. The cause of a warning or an
alarm is shown on a digital display.

In the event that a larger generator is required,

please contact MAN Diesel.
If a main engine speed other than the nominal is
required as a basis for the PTO operation, it must
be taken into consideration when determining the
ratio of the crankshaft gear. However, it has no
influence on the space required for the gears and
the generator.
The PTO can be operated as a motor (PTI) as well
as a generator by making some minor modifications.

DMG/CFE Generators
Option: 4 85 259
Fig. 4.01.01 alternative 5, shows the DMG/CFE
(Direct Mounted Generator/Constant Frequency
Electrical) which is a low speed generator with
its rotor mounted directly on the crankshaft and
its stator bolted on to the frame box as shown in
Figs. 4.03.04 and 4.03.05.

For generators in the normal output range, the

mass of the rotor can normally be carried by the
foremost main bearing without exceeding the permissible bearing load (see Fig. 4.03.05), but this
must be checked by the engine manufacturer in
each case.

The DMG/CFE is separated from the crankcase

by a plate and a labyrinth stuffing box.

If the permissible load on the foremost main bearing is exceeded, e.g. because a tuning wheel
is needed, this does not preclude the use of a
DMG/CFE.

The DMG/CFE system has been developed in cooperation with the German generator manufacturers Siemens and AEG, but similar types of generator can be supplied by others, e.g. Fuji, Taiyo
and Nishishiba in Japan.

In such a case, the problem is solved by installing

a small, elastically supported bearing in front of
the stator housing, as shown in Fig. 4.03.05.
As the DMG type is directly connected to the
crankshaft, it has a very low rotational speed and,
consequently, the electric output current has a
low frequency normally of the order of 15 Hz.
Therefore, it is necessary to use a static frequency converter between the DMG and the main
switchboard. The DMG/CFE is, as standard, laid
out for operation with full output between 100%
and 70% and with reduced output between 70%
and 50% of the engine speed at specified MCR.

Yard deliveries are:

1. Installation, i.e. seating in the ship for the synchronous condenser unit and for the static
converter cubicles
2. Cooling water pipes to the generator if water
cooling is applied
3. Cabling.
The necessary preparations to be made on
the engine are specified in Figs. 4.03.01a and
4.03.01b.
SMG/CFE Generators

Static converter
The static frequency converter system (see Fig.
4.03.06) consists of a static part, i.e. thyristors and
control equipment, and a rotary electric machine.
The DMG produces a threephase alternating
current with a low frequency, which varies in accordance with the main engine speed. This alternating current is rectified and led to a thyristor inverter producing a threephase alternating current
with constant frequency.
Since the frequency converter system uses a DC
intermediate link, no reactive power can be supplied to the electric mains. To supply this reactive
power, a synchronous condenser is used. The
synchronous condenser consists of an ordinary
synchronous generator coupled to the electric
mains.

The PTO SMG/CFE (see Fig. 4.01.01 alternative 6)

has the same working principle as the PTO DMG/
CFE, but instead of being located on the front end
of the engine, the alternator is installed aft of the
engine, with the rotor integrated on the intermediate shaft.
In addition to the yard deliveries mentioned for the
PTO DMG/CFE, the shipyard must also provide
the foundation for the stator housing in the case
of the PTO SMG/CFE.
The engine needs no preparation for the installation of this PTO system.

Extent of delivery for DMG/CFE units

The delivery extent is a generator fully builton
to the main engine including the synchronous
condenser unit and the static converter cubicles

Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHR)

Due to the increasing fuel prices seen from 2004
and onwards many shipowners have shown interest in efficiency improvements of the power systems on board their ships. A modern two-stroke
diesel engine has one of the highest thermal efficiencies of todays power systems, but even this
high efficiency can be improved by combining the
diesel engine with other power systems.

The PTG system will produce power equivalent to

approx. 4% of the main engine SMCR, when the
engine is running at SMCR. For the STG system
this value is between 5 and 7% depending on
the system installed. When combining the two
systems, a power output equivalent to 10% of the
main engines SMCR is possible, when the engine
is running at SMCR.

One of the possibilities for improving the efficiency is to install one or more systems utilising some
of the energy in the exhaust gas after the twostroke engine, which in MAN Diesel terms is designated as WHR (Waste Heat Recovery Systems).

As the electrical power produced by the system

needs to be used on board the ship, specifying
the correct size system for a specific project must
be considered carefully. In cases where the electrical power consumption on board the ship is
low, a smaller system than possible for the engine
type may be considered. Another possibility is to
install a shaft generator/motor to absorb excess
power produced by the WHR. The main engine
will then be unloaded, or it will be possible to increase the speed of the ship, without penalising
the fuelbill.

WHR can be divided into different types of subsystems, depending on how the system utilises
the exhaust gas energy. Choosing the right system for a specific project depends on the electricity demand on board the ship and the acceptable
first cost for the complete installation. MAN Diesel
uses the following designations for the current
systems on the market:
PTG (Power Turbine Generator):
An exhaust gas driven turbine connected to a
generator via a gearbox.
STG (Steam Turbine Generator):
A steam driven turbine connected to a generator
via a gearbox. The steam is produced in a large
exhaust gas driven boiler installed on the main
engine exhaust gas piping system.

Because the energy from WHR is taken from

the exhaust gas of the main engine, this power
produced can be considered as free. In reality,
the main engine SFOC will increase slightly, but
the gain in electricity production on board the
ship will far surpass this increase in SFOC. As an
example, the SFOC of the combined output of
both the engine and the system with power and
steam turbine can be calculated to be as low as
155 g/kWh (ref. LCV 42,700 kJ/kg).

Combined Turbines:
A combination of the two first systems. The arrangement is often that the power turbine is
connected to the steam turbine via a gearbox
and the steam turbine is further connected to a
large generator, which absorbs the power from
both turbines.

Power Turbine Generator (PTG)

The power turbines of today are based on the different turbocharger suppliers newest designs of
high-efficiency turbochargers, i.e. MAN Diesels
TCA, ABBs TPL and Mitsubishis MA turbochargers.

The performance of the PTG and the main engine

will depend on a careful matching of the engine
turbochargers and the power turbine, for which
reason the turbocharger/s and the power turbine
need to be from the same manufacturer. In Fig.
4.05.01, a simple diagram of the PTG arrangement
is shown. The quick-opening and quick-closing
valves are used in the event of a blackout of the
grid, in which case the exhaust gas will bypass
the power turbine.

The power turbine basically is the turbine side of

a normal high-efficient turbocharger with some
modifications to the bearings and the turbine
shaft. This is in order to be able to connect it to
a gearbox instead of the normal connection to
the compressor side. The power turbine will be
installed on a separate exhaust gas pipe from the
exhaust gas receiver, which bypasses the turbochargers.

The newest generation of high-efficiency turbochargers allows bypassing of some of the main
engine exhaust gas, thereby creating a new balance of the air flow through the engine. In this
way, it is possible to extract power from the power
turbine equivalent to 4% of the main engines
SMCR, when the engine is running at SMCR.

Steam Turbine Generator (STG)

In most cases the exhaust gas pipe system of
the main engine is equipped with a boiler system.
With this boiler, some of the energy in the exhaust
gas is utilised to produce steam for use on board
the ship.
If the engine is WHR matched, the exhaust gas
temperature will be between 50C and 65C
higher than on a conventional engine, which
makes it possible to install a larger boiler system
and, thereby, produce more steam. In short, MAN
Diesel designates this system STG. Fig. 4.05.03
shows an example of the arrangement of STG.

The extra steam produced in the boiler can be

utilised in a steam turbine, which can be used to
drive a generator for power production on board
the ship. An STG system could be arranged as
shown in Fig. 4.05.04, where a typical system size
is shown with the outline dimensions.
The steam turbine can either be a single or dual
pressure turbine, depending on the size of the
system. Steam pressure for a single pressure system is 7 to 10 bara, and for the dual pressure system the high-pressure cycle will be 9 to 10 bara
and the low-pressure cycle will be 4 to 5 bara.

For WHR matching the engine, a bypass is installed to increase the temperature of the exhaust
gas and improve the boiler output.

Combined Turbines
Because the installation of the power turbine also
will result in an increase of the exhaust gas temperature after the turbochargers, it is possible to
install both the power turbine, the larger boiler
and steam turbine on the same engine. This way,
the energy from the exhaust gas is utilised in the
best way possible by todays components.

For marine installations the power turbine is, in

most cases, connected to the steam turbine via a
gearbox, and the steam turbine is then connected
to the generator. It is also possible to have a generator with connections in both ends, and then
connect the power turbine in one end and the
steam turbine in the other. In both cases control of
one generator only is needed.

When looking at the system with both power and

steam turbine, quite often the power turbine and
the steam turbine are connected to the same
generator. In some cases, it is also possible to
have each turbine on a separate generator. This
is, however, mostly seen on stationary engines,
where the frequency control is simpler because of
the large grid to which the generator is coupled.

For dimensions of a typical system see

Fig. 4.05.06.
As mentioned, the systems with steam turbines
require a larger boiler to be installed. The size
of the boiler system will be roughly three to four
times the size of an ordinary boiler system, but
the actual boiler size has to be calculated from
case to case.

Space Requirements and Overhaul Heights

The latest version of most of the drawings of this
section is available for download at www.mandiesel.com under Marine Low Speed Installation Drawings. First choose engine series, then
engine type and select from the list of drawings
available for download.
Space Requirements for the Engine
The space requirements stated in Section 5.02
are valid for engines rated at nominal MCR (L1).
The additional space needed for engines
equipped with PTO is stated in Chapter 4.

A special crane beam for dismantling the turbocharger must be fitted. The lifting capacity of the
crane beam for dismantling the turbocharger is
stated in Section 5.03.
The overhaul tools for the engine are designed
to be used with a crane hook according to DIN
15400, June 1990, material class M and load capacity 1Am and dimensions of the single hook
type according to DIN 15401, part 1.
The total length of the engine at the crankshaft
level may vary depending on the equipment to
be fitted on the fore end of the engine, such as
adjustable counterweights, tuning wheel, moment
compensators or PTO.

If, during the project stage, the outer dimensions

of the turbocharger seem to cause problems, it
is possible, for the same number of cylinders, to
use turbochargers with smaller dimensions by
increasing the indicated number of turbochargers
by one, see Chapter 3.
Overhaul of Engine
The distances stated from the centre of the crankshaft to the crane hook are for the normal lifting
procedure and the reduced height lifting procedure (involving tilting of main components). The
lifting capacity of a normal engine room crane can
be found in Fig. 5.04.01.
The area covered by the engine room crane shall
be wide enough to reach any heavy spare part required in the engine room.
A lower overhaul height is, however, available by
using the MAN B&W DoubleJib crane, built by
Danish Crane Building A/S, shown in Figs. 5.04.02
and 5.04.03.
Please note that the distance E in Fig. 5.02.01,
given for a doublejib crane is from the centre
of the crankshaft to the lower edge of the deck
beam.

Crane beam for overhaul of turbocharger

For the overhaul of a turbocharger, a crane beam
with trolleys is required at each end of the turbocharger.

The crane beam can be bolted to brackets that

are fastened to the ship structure or to columns
that are located on the top platform of the engine.

Two trolleys are to be available at the compressor

end and one trolley is needed at the gas inlet end.

The lifting capacity of the crane beam for the

heaviest component W, is indicated in Fig.
5.03.01b for the various turbocharger makes. The
crane beam shall be dimensioned for lifting the
weight W with a deflection of some 5 mm only.

Crane beam no. 1 is for dismantling of turbocharger components.

Crane beam no. 2 is for transporting turbocharger
components.
See Figs. 5.03.01a and 5.03.02.
The crane beams can be omitted if the main engine
room crane also covers the turbocharger area.

For engines with the turbocharger(s) located on

the exhaust side, EoD No. 4 59 122, the letter
a indicates the distance between vertical centrelines of the engine and the turbocharger.

The crane beams are used and dimensioned for

lifting the following components:
Exhaust gas inlet casing
Turbocharger inlet silencer
Compressor casing
Turbine rotor with bearings

MAN B&W
Units
W

The crane beams are to be placed in relation to the

turbocharger(s) so that the components around the
gas outlet casing can be removed in connection
with overhaul of the turbocharger(s).

6. Lower down the cooler insert between the gallery brackets and down to the engine room
floor.
Make sure that the cooler insert is supported,
e.g. on a wooden support.

Valid for air cooler design for the following engines

with more than one turbochargers mounted on the
exhaust side.
1. Dismantle all the pipes in the area around the
air cooler.
2. Dismantle all the pipes around the inlet cover
for the cooler.

7. Move the air cooler insert to an area covered

by the engine room crane using the lifting
beam mounted below the lower gallery of the
engine.

3. Take out the cooler insert by using the above

placed crane beam mounted on the engine.

8. By using the engine room crane the air cooler

insert can be lifted out of the engine room.

4. Turn the cooler insert to an upright position.

5. Dismantle the platforms below the air cooler.

Engine outline
The total length of the engine at the crankshaft
level may vary depending on the equipment to
be fitted on the fore end of the engine, such as
adjustable counterweights, tuning wheel, moment
compensators or PTO, which are shown as alternatives in Section 5.06
Engine masses and centre of gravity
The partial and total engine masses appear from
Section 19.04, Dispatch Pattern, to which the
masses of water and oil in the engine, Section
5.08, are to be added. The centre of gravity is
shown in Section 5.07, in both cases including the
water and oil in the engine, but without moment
compensators or PTO.
Gallery outline
Section 5.06 show the gallery outline for engines
rated at nominal MCR (L1).
Engine pipe connections
The positions of the external pipe connections on
the engine are stated in Section 5.09, and the corresponding lists of counterflanges for pipes and
turbocharger in Section 5.10.
The flange connection on the turbocharger gas
outlet is rectangular, but a transition piece to a circular form can be supplied as an option: 4 60 601.

Engine Top Bracing

The so-called guide force moments are caused by
the transverse reaction forces acting on the crossheads due to the connecting rod and crankshaft
mechanism. When the piston of a cylinder is not
exactly in its top or bottom position the gas force
from the combustion, transferred through the connecting rod, will have a component acting on the
crosshead and the crankshaft perpendicularly to
the axis of the cylinder. Its resultant is acting on
the guide shoe and together they form a guide
force moment.
The moments may excite engine vibrations moving the engine top athwart ships and causing a
rocking (excited by H-moment) or twisting (excited
by X-moment) movement of the engine. For engines with less than seven cylinders, this guide
force moment tends to rock the engine in the
transverse direction, and for engines with seven
cylinders or more, it tends to twist the engine.
The guide force moments are harmless to the
engine except when resonance vibrations occur
in the engine/double bottom system. They may,
however, cause annoying vibrations in the superstructure and/or engine room, if proper countermeasures are not taken.
As a detailed calculation of this system is normally
not available, MAN Diesel recommends that top
bracing is installed between the engines upper
platform brackets and the casing side.
However, the top bracing is not needed in all
cases. In some cases the vibration level is lower if
the top bracing is not installed. This has normally
to be checked by measurements, i.e. with and
without top bracing.

Without top bracing, the natural frequency of

the vibrating system comprising engine, ships
bottom, and ships side is often so low that resonance with the excitation source (the guide force
moment) can occur close to the normal speed
range, resulting in the risk of vibration.
With top bracing, such a resonance will occur
above the normal speed range, as the natural frequencies of the double bottom/main engine system will increase. The impact of vibration is thus
lowered.
The top bracing is normally installed on the exhaust side of the engine, but can alternatively be
installed on the manoeuvring side. A combination
of exhaust side and manoeuvring side installation
is also possible.
The top bracing system is installed either as a
mechanical top bracing or a hydraulic top bracing.
Both systems are described below.
Mechanical top bracing
The mechanical top bracing comprises stiff connections between the engine and the hull.
The top bracing stiffener consists of a double
bar tightened with friction shims at each end of
the mounting positions. The friction shims allow the top bracing stiffener to move in case of
displacements caused by thermal expansion of
the engine or different loading conditions of the
vessel. Furthermore, the tightening is made with a
well-defined force on the friction shims, using disc
springs, to prevent overloading of the system in
case of an excessive vibration level.

If a vibration measurement in the first vessel of a

series shows that the vibration level is acceptable
without the top bracing, we have no objection to
the top bracing being removed and the rest of
the series produced without top bracing. It is our
experience that especially the 7-cylinder engine
will often have a lower vibration level without top
bracing.

The mechanical top bracing is to be made by the

shipyard in accordance with MAN Diesel instructions.

By a different pre-setting of the relief valve, the

top bracing is delivered in a low-pressure version
(26 bar) or a high-pressure version (40 bar).

The top bracing unit is designed to allow displacements between the hull and engine caused
by thermal expansion of the engine or different
loading conditions of the vessel.

Cylinder Unit

The top bracing unit consists of a single-acting hydraulic cylinder with a hydraulic control unit and an
accumulator mounted directly on the cylinder unit.

475
Hull side

When active, the hydraulic cylinder provides a

pressure on the engine in proportion to the vibration level. When the distance between the hull and
engine increases, oil flows into the cylinder under
pressure from the accumulator. When the distance decreases, a non-return valve prevents the
oil from flowing back to the accumulator, and the
pressure rises. If the pressure reaches a preset
maximum value, a relief valve allows the oil to flow
back to the accumulator, hereby maintaining the
force on the engine below the specified value.

The top bracing is controlled by an automatic

switch in a control panel, which activates the top
bracing when the engine is running. It is possible to programme the switch to choose a certain
rpm range, at which the top bracing is active. For
service purposes, manual control from the control
panel is also possible.

The hydraulic top bracing is an alternative to the

mechanical top bracing used mainly on engines
with a cylinder bore of 50 or more. The installation
normally features two, four or six independently
working top bracing units.

The EICU functions as an interface unit to ECR

related systems such as AMS (Alarm and Monitoring System), RCS (Remote Control System) and
Safety System. On ME-B engines the EICU also
controls the HPS.
The MOP is the operators interface to the ECS.
From there the operator can control and see status of the engine and the ECS. The MOP is a PC
with a flat touch screen.
The Backup MOP consists of a PC unit with
keyboard and display and serves as a backup in
case the MOP should break down.
The PMI offline system is equipped with a standard PC. The PMI system serves as a pressure
analyse system. See Section 18.02.
Optional items to be mounted in the ECR include
the CoCoSEDS which can be purchased separately and applied on the PC for the PMI offline
system. See Section 18.03.

Shaftline Earthing Device

Scope and field of application
A difference in the electrical potential between the
hull and the propeller shaft will be generated due
to the difference in materials and to the propeller
being immersed in sea water.
In some cases, the difference in the electrical
potential has caused spark erosion on the thrust,
main bearings and journals of the crankshaft of
the engine.
In order to reduce the electrical potential between
the crankshaft and the hull and thus prevent spark
erosion, a highly efficient shaftline earthing device
must be installed.
The shaftline earthing device should be able to
keep the electrical potential difference below 50
mV DC. A shaft-to-hull monitoring equipment with
a mV-meter and with an output signal to the alarm
system must be installed so that the potential and
thus the correct function of the shaftline earthing
device can be monitored.

Cabling of the shaftline earthing device to the hull

must be with a cable with a cross section not less
than 45 mm. The length of the cable to the hull
should be as short as possible.
Monitoring equipment should have a 4-20 mA
signal for alarm and a mV-meter with a switch for
changing range. Primary range from 0 to 50 mV
DC and secondary range from 0 to 300 mV DC.
When the shaftline earthing device is working
correctly, the electrical potential will normally be
within the range of 10-50 mV DC depending of
propeller size and revolutions.
The alarm set-point should be 80 mV for a high
alarm. The alarm signals with an alarm delay of 30
seconds and an alarm cut-off, when the engine is
stopped, must be connected to the alarm system.
Connection of cables is shown in the sketch, see
Fig. 5.17.01.

Note that only one shaftline earthing device is

needed in the propeller shaft system.
Design description
The shaftline earthing device consists of two silver
slip rings, two arrangements for holding brushes
including connecting cables and monitoring
equipment with a mV-meter and an output signal
for alarm.
The slip rings should be made of solid silver or
back-up rings of cobber with a silver layer all over.
The expected life span of the silver layer on the
slip rings should be minimum 5 years.
The brushes should be made of minimum 80%
silver and 20% graphite to ensure a sufficient
electrical conducting capability.
Resistivity of the silver should be less than 0.1
Ohm x m. The total resistance from the shaft to
the hull must not exceed 0.001 Ohm.

Calculation of List of Capacities and Exhaust Gas Data

Updated engine and capacities data is available
from the CEAS program on www.mandiesel.com
under Marine Low speed CEAS Engine
Room Dimensions.
This chapter describes the necessary auxiliary machinery capacities to be used for a nominally rated
engine. The capacities given are valid for seawater
cooling system and central cooling water system,
respectively. For derated engine, i.e. with a specified MCR and/or matching point different from the

nominally rated MCR point, the list of capacities

will be different from the nominal capacities.
Furthermore, among others, the exhaust gas data
depends on the ambient temperature conditions.
Based on examples for a derated engine, the way
of how to calculate the derated capacities, freshwater production and exhaust gas amounts and
temperatures will be described in details.

List of Capacities and Cooling Water Systems

The List of Capacities contain data regarding the
necessary capacities of the auxiliary machinery
for the main engine only, and refer to a nominally
rated engine. Complying with IMO Tier II NOx limitations.

The capacities for the starting air receivers and

the compressors are stated in Fig. 6.03.01.

The heat dissipation figures include 10% extra

margin for overload running except for the scavenge air cooler, which is an integrated part of the
diesel engine.

The radiation and convection heat losses to the

engine room is around 1% of the engine nominal
power (kW in L1).

Heat radiation and air consumption

The air consumption is approximately 98.2%

of the calculated exhaust gas amount, ie.
Mair = Mexh x 0.982.

Cooling Water Systems

The capacities given in the tables are based on
tropical ambient reference conditions and refer to
engines with high efficiency/conventional turbocharger running at nominal MCR (L1) for:

Flanges on engine, etc.

Seawater cooling system,

See diagram, Fig. 6.02.01 and nominal capacities in Fig. 6.03.01
Central cooling water system,
See diagram, Fig. 6.02.02 and nominal capacities in Fig. 6.03.01

The location of the flanges on the engine are

shown in: Engine pipe connections, and the flanges are identified by reference letters stated in the
List of flanges; both can be found in Chapter 5.
The diagrams use the Basic symbols for piping,
whereas the symbols for instrumentation according to ISO 12191 and ISO 12192 and the instrumentation list found in Appendix A.

Auxiliary Machinery Capacities

The dimensioning of heat exchangers (coolers)
and pumps for derated engines can be calculated
on the basis of the heat dissipation values found
by using the following description and diagrams.
Those for the nominal MCR (L1), may also be used
if wanted.

The percentage power (PM%) and speed (nM%) of L1

ie: PM% = PM/PL1 x 100%
nM% = nM/nL1 x 100%
for specified MCR (M) of the derated engine is
used as input in the abovementioned diagrams,
giving the % heat dissipation figures relative to
those in the List of Capacities,

The nomenclature of the basic engine ratings and

coolers, etc. used in this section is shown in Fig.

The derated cooler capacities may then be found

by means of following equations:
Qair, M = Qair, L1 x (Qair% / 100)
Qjw, M = Qjw, L1 x (Qjw% / 100)
Qlub, M = Qlub, L1 x (Qlub% / 100)
and for a central cooling water system the central
cooler heat dissipation is:
Qcent,M = Qair,M + Qjw,M + Qlub,M

Pump capacities
The pump capacities given in the List of Capacities refer to engines rated at nominal MCR (L1).
For lower rated engines, only a marginal saving in
the pump capacities is obtainable.
To ensure proper lubrication, the lubricating oil
pump must remain unchanged.
Also, the fuel oil circulating and supply pumps
should remain unchanged.
In order to ensure reliable starting, the starting air
compressors and the starting air receivers must
also remain unchanged.
The jacket cooling water pump capacity is relatively low. Practically no saving is possible, and it
is therefore unchanged.

order to avoid too low a water velocity in the scavenge air cooler pipes.
As the jacket water cooler is connected in series
with the lube oil cooler, the seawater flow capacity for the latter is used also for the jacket water
cooler.
Central cooling water system
If a central cooler is used, the above still applies,
but the central cooling water capacities are used
instead of the above seawater capacities. The
seawater flow capacity for the central cooler can
be reduced in proportion to the reduction of the
total cooler heat dissipation, i.e. as follows:
Vcw,air,M = Vcw,air,L1 x (Qair% / 100)
Vcw,lub,M = Vcw,lub,L1 x (Qlub% / 100)

The derated seawater pump capacity is equal to

The seawater flow capacity for each of the scavenge air, lube oil and jacket water coolers can
be reduced proportionally to the reduced heat

Calculation of List of Capacities for Derated Engine

Example 1:

TCA, fixed pitch propeller and central cooling water system.

Specified MCR, (M)

PM: 29,172 kW (85.0%) and 91.2 r/min (97.0%)

Matching point, (O)

PO: 29,172 kW (85.0%) and 91.2 r/min (97.0%), PO = 100.0% of PM

The method of calculating the reduced capacities for point M (nM% = 97.0% and PM% = 85.0%) is
shown below.
The values valid for the nominal rated engine are
found in the List of Capacities, Figs. 6.03.01 and
6.03.02, and are listed together with the result in
the figure on the next page.
Heat dissipation of scavenge air cooler
Fig. 6.04.01 which approximately indicates a Qair%
= 78.1% heat dissipation, i.e.:
Qair,M =Qair,L1 x Qair% / 100

Qair,M = 15,100 x 0.781 = 11,793 kW

Qjw,M = 4,200 x 0.879 = 3,692 kW

Qlub,M = 2,820 x 0.967 = 2,727 kW

Seawater pump for central cooler

As the seawater pump capacity and the central cooler heat dissipation for the nominal
rated engine found in the List of Capacities are
1,090 m3/h and 22,120 kW the derated seawater
pump flow equals:

Heat dissipation of central water cooler

Qcent,M = Qair,M + Qjw,M + Qlub, M

Seawater pump:

Freshwater Generator
If a freshwater generator is installed and is utilising the heat in the jacket water cooling system,
it should be noted that the actual available heat
in the jacket cooling water system is lower than
indicated by the heat dissipation figures valid for
nominal MCR (L1) given in the List of Capacities.
This is because the latter figures are used for
dimensioning the jacket water cooler and hence
incorporate a safety margin which can be needed
when the engine is operating under conditions
such as, e.g. overload. Normally, this margin is
10% at nominal MCR.

At part load operation, lower than matching power, the actual jacket water heat dissipation will be
reduced according to the curves for fixed pitch
propeller (FPP) or for constant speed, controllable
pitch propeller (CPP), respectively, in Fig. 6.04.04.

Engine power equal to specified power M

(equal to matching point O).

Calculation Method

For specified MCR (M) = matching power (O),

the diagram Fig. 6.04.02 is to be used, i.e.
giving the percentage correction factor Qjw%
and hence for matching power PO:

For a derated diesel engine, i.e. an engine having

a specified MCR (M) equal to matching point (O)
different from L1, the relative jacket water heat dissipation for point M and O may be found, as previously described, by means of Fig. 6.04.02.

With reference to the above, the heat actually

available for a derated diesel engine may then be
found as follows:

ambient conditions corresponding to ISO temperatures or lower. The heat dissipation tolerance from
15% to 0% stated above is based on experience.

When using a normal freshwater generator of the

as 0.03 t/24h per 1 kW heat, i.e.:

[3]

If necessary, all the actually available jacket cooling water heat may be used provided that a special
temperature control system ensures that the jacket
cooling water temperature at the outlet from the
engine does not fall below a certain level. Such a
temperature control system may consist, e.g., of a
special bypass pipe installed in the jacket cooling
water system, see Fig. 6.04.05, or a special builtin
temperature control in the freshwater generator,
e.g., an automatic start/stop function, or similar.
If such a special temperature control is not applied,
we recommend limiting the heat utilised to maximum 50% of the heat actually available at specified
MCR, and only using the freshwater generator at
engine loads above 50%. Considering the cooler
margin of 10% and the minus tolerance of 15%,
this heat corresponds to 50 x(1.000.15)x0.9 = 38%
of the jacket water cooler capacity Qjw,M used for
dimensioning of the jacket water cooler.

Calculation of Freshwater Production for Derated Engine

Example 2:
Freshwater production from a derated 6K90ME9-TII with high efficiency MAN Diesel turbocharger type
TCA and fixed pitch propeller.
Based on the engine ratings below, this example will show how to calculate the expected available jacket
cooling water heat removed from the diesel engine, together with the corresponding freshwater production
from a freshwater generator.
The calculation is made for the service rating (S) of the diesel engine being 80% of the specified MCR.
Nominal MCR, (L1)

PL1: 34,320 kW (100.0%) and 94.0 r/min (100.0%)

Specified MCR, (M)

PM: 29,172 kW (85.0%) and 91.2 r/min (97.0%)

Matching point, (O)

PO: 29,172 kW (85.0%) and 91.2 r/min (97.0%), PO = 100.0% of PM

Service rating, (S)

PS: 23,338 kW and 84.6 r/min, PS = 80.0% of PM and PS = 80.0% of PO

Ambient reference conditions: 20 C air and 18 C cooling water.

The expected available jacket cooling water heat
at service rating is found as follows:
Qjw,L1 = 4,200 kW from List of Capacities
Qjw% = 87.9% using 85.0% power and 97.0%
speed for O in Fig. 6.04.02

For the service point the corresponding expected

obtainable freshwater production from a freshwater generator of the single effect vacuum evaporator type is then found from equation [3]:
Mfw = 0.03 x Qjw = 0.03 x 2,768 = 83.0 t/24h
15%/0%

By means of equation [1], and using factor 0.88 for

actual ambient condition the heat dissipation in
the matching point (O) is found:
Qjw%
Qjw,O = Qjw,L1 x ___

x 0.88
100

= 4,200 x ___
87.9

x 0.88 = 3,249 kW

By means of equation [2], the heat dissipation in

the service point (S) i.e. for 88.9% of matching
power, is found:

Qjw

= 0.852 using 80.0% in Fig. 6.04.04

Exhaust Gas Amount and Temperature

Influencing factors
The exhaust gas data to be expected in practice
depends, primarily, on the following three factors:

b) The ambient conditions, and exhaust gas

backpressure:

a) The specified MCR point of the engine (point M):

PM : power in kW at SMCR point

nM : speed in r/min at SMCR point

and to a certain degree on the matching point O

with the percentage power PO% = % of SMCR
power:

PO% = (PO/PM) x 100%

Tair : actual ambient air temperature, in C

pbar : actual barometric pressure, in mbar
TCW : actual scavenge air coolant temperature,
in C
pM : exhaust gas backpressure in mm WC at
specified MCR

c) The continuous service rating of the engine

(point S), valid for fixed pitch propeller or controllable pitch propeller (constant engine speed):

PS

: continuous service rating of engine, in kW

Calculation Method
To enable the project engineer to estimate the actual exhaust gas data at an arbitrary service rating,
the following method of calculation may be used.

The partial calculations based on the above influencing factors have been summarised in equations

Pressurised Fuel Oil System

The system is so arranged that both diesel oil and
heavy fuel oil can be used, see Fig. 7.01.01.
From the service tank the fuel is led to an electrically driven supply pump by means of which a
pressure of approximately 4 bar can be maintained in the low pressure part of the fuel circulating system, thus avoiding gasification of the fuel in
the venting box in the temperature ranges applied.
The venting box is connected to the service tank
via an automatic deaerating valve, which will release any gases present, but will retain liquids.
From the low pressure part of the fuel system the
fuel oil is led to an electricallydriven circulating
pump, which pumps the fuel oil through a heater
and a full flow filter situated immediately before
the inlet to the engine.
The fuel injection is performed by the electronically controlled pressure booster located on the
Hydraulic Cylinder Unit (HCU), one per cylinder,
which also contains the actuator for the electronic
exhaust valve activation.
The Cylinder Control Units (CCU) of the Engine
Control System (described in Section 16.01) calculate the timing of the fuel injection and the exhaust valve activation.
To ensure ample filling of the HCU, the capacity of
the electricallydriven circulating pump is higher
than the amount of fuel consumed by the diesel
engine. Surplus fuel oil is recirculated from the engine through the venting box.
To ensure a constant fuel pressure to the fuel
injection pumps during all engine loads, a spring
loaded overflow valve is inserted in the fuel oil
system on the engine.
The fuel oil pressure measured on the engine (at
fuel pump level) should be 78 bar, equivalent to a
circulating pump pressure of 10 bar.

MAN B&W ME/MEC/MEGI/ME-B engines

Fuel considerations
When the engine is stopped, the circulating
pump will continue to circulate heated heavy fuel
through the fuel oil system on the engine, thereby
keeping the fuel pumps heated and the fuel valves
deaerated. This automatic circulation of preheated
fuel during engine standstill is the background for
our recommendation:

Constant operation on heavy fuel

In addition, if this recommendation was not followed, there would be a latent risk of diesel oil and
heavy fuels of marginal quality forming incompatible blends during fuel change over or when operating in areas with restrictions on sulpher content
in fuel oil due to exhaust gas emission control.
In special circumstances a changeover to diesel
oil may become necessary and this can be performed at any time, even when the engine is not
running. Such a changeover may become necessary if, for instance, the vessel is expected to be
inactive for a prolonged period with cold engine
e.g. due to:
docking
stop for more than five days
major repairs of the fuel system, etc.
The builton overflow valves, if any, at the supply
pumps are to be adjusted to 5 bar, whereas the
external bypass valve is adjusted to 4 bar. The
pipes between the tanks and the supply pumps
shall have minimum 50% larger passage area than
the pipe between the supply pump and the circulating pump.
If the fuel oil pipe X at inlet to engine is made as
a straight line immediately at the end of the engine, it will be necessary to mount an expansion
joint. If the connection is made as indicated, with
a bend immediately at the end of the engine, no
expansion joint is required.

Drain of clean fuel oil from HCU, pumps, pipes

Heating of fuel drain pipes

The HCU Fuel Oil Pressure Booster has a leakage

drain of clean fuel oil from the umbrella sealing
through AD to the fuel oil drain tank.

Owing to the relatively high viscosity of the heavy

fuel oil, it is recommended that the drain pipes
and the fuel oil drain tank are heated to min. 50 C,
but max. 100 C.

The flow rate in litres is approximately as listed in

Table 7.01.01.

For external pipe connections, we prescribe the

This drained clean oil will, of course, influence the

measured SFOC, but the oil is not wasted, and the
quantity is well within the measuring accuracy of
the flowmeters normally used.
The main purpose of the drain AF is to collect
pure fuel oil from the fuel pumps as well as the
unintentional leakage from the high pressure
pipes. The drain oil is led to a sludge tank and can
be pumped to the Heavy Fuel Oil service tank or
to the settling tank.
The AF drain is provided with a box for giving
alarm in case of leakage in a high pressure pipe.
The size of the sludge tank is determined on the
basis of the draining intervals, the classification
society rules, and on whether it may be vented
directly to the engine room.

Marine diesel oil........................................... 1.0 m/s

Heavy fuel oil................................................ 0.6 m/s
The fuel viscosity is influenced by factors such as
emulsification of water into the fuel for reducing
the NOx emission. This is further described in Section 7.06.
An emulsification arrangement for the main engine
is described in our publication:
Exhaust Gas Emission Control Today and
Tomorrow

Fuel Oils
Marine diesel oil:

Guiding heavy fuel oil specification

Based on our general service experience we have,

as a supplement to the above mentioned standards, drawn up the guiding HFO specification
shown below.

Marine diesel oil ISO 8217, Class DMB

British Standard 6843, Class DMB
Similar oils may also be used

Heavy fuel oil (HFO)

Most commercially available HFO with a viscosity
below 700 cSt at 50 C (7,000 sec. Redwood I at
100 F) can be used.
For guidance on purchase, reference is made
to ISO 8217:1996 and ISO 8217:2005, British
Standard 6843 and to CIMAC recommendations
regarding requirements for heavy fuel for diesel
engines, fourth edition 2003, in which the maximum acceptable grades are RMH 700 and RMK
700. The abovementioned ISO and BS standards
supersede BSMA 100 in which the limit was M9.
The data in the above HFO standards and specifications refer to fuel as delivered to the ship, i.e.
before on-board cleaning.
In order to ensure effective and sufficient cleaning
of the HFO, i.e. removal of water and solid contaminants, the fuel oil specific gravity at 15 C (60
F) should be below 0.991, unless modern types
of centrifuges with adequate cleaning abilities are
used.
Higher densities can be allowed if special treatment systems are installed.
Current analysis information is not sufficient for
estimating the combustion properties of the oil.
This means that service results depend on oil
properties which cannot be known beforehand.
This especially applies to the tendency of the oil
to form deposits in combustion chambers, gas
passages and turbines. It may, therefore, be necessary to rule out some oils that cause difficulties.

MAN B&W MC/MC-C, ME/ME-C/ME-GI/ME-B engines

Heavy fuel oils limited by this specification have,

to the extent of the commercial availability, been
used with satisfactory results on MAN B&W
twostroke low speed diesel engines.
The data refers to the fuel as supplied i.e. before
any on-board cleaning.

Fuel Oil Pipe Insulation

Flanges and valves

Insulation of fuel oil pipes and fuel oil drain pipes

should not be carried out until the piping systems
have been subjected to the pressure tests specified and approved by the respective classification
society and/or authorities, Fig. 7.04.01.

The flanges and valves are to be insulated by

means of removable pads. Flange and valve pads
are made of glass cloth, minimum 400 g/m2,
containing mineral wool stuffed to minimum 150
kg/m3.

The directions mentioned below include insulation

of hot pipes, flanges and valves with a surface
temperature of the complete insulation of maximum 55 C at a room temperature of maximum 38
C. As for the choice of material and, if required,
approval for the specific purpose, reference is
made to the respective classification society.

Thickness of the pads to be:

Fuel oil pipes................................................. 20 mm
Fuel oil pipes and heating pipes together..... 30 mm
The pads are to be fitted so that they lap over the
pipe insulating material by the pad thickness. At
flanged joints, insulating material on pipes should
not be fitted closer than corresponding to the
minimum bolt length.

Fuel oil pipes

The pipes are to be insulated with 20 mm mineral
wool of minimum 150 kg/m3 and covered with
glass cloth of minimum 400 g/m2.

Fuel Oil Pipe Heat Tracing

The steam tracing of the fuel oil pipes is intended
to operate in two situations:
1. When the circulation pump is running, there
will be a temperature loss in the piping, see
Fig. 7.04.02. This loss is very small, therefore
tracing in this situation is only necessary with
very long fuel supply lines.

2. When the circulation pump is stopped with

heavy fuel oil in the piping and the pipes have
cooled down to engine room temperature, as
it is not possible to pump the heavy fuel oil.
In this situation the fuel oil must be heated to
pumping temperature of about 50 C.

To heat the pipe to pumping level we recommend to use 100 watt leaking/meter pipe.

Components for Fuel Oil System

Fuel oil centrifuges
The manual cleaning type of centrifuges are not to
be recommended, neither for attended machinery
spaces (AMS) nor for unattended machinery spaces (UMS). Centrifuges must be selfcleaning, either
with total discharge or with partial discharge.
Distinction must be made between installations for:
Specific gravities < 0.991 (corresponding to ISO
8217 and British Standard 6843 from RMA to
RMH, and CIMAC from A to Hgrades
Specific gravities > 0.991 and (corresponding to
CIMAC Kgrades).
For the latter specific gravities, the manufacturers
have developed special types of centrifuges, e.g.:
Alfa Laval.........................................................Alcap
Westfalia........................................................ Unitrol
Mitsubishi............................................... EHidens II
The centrifuge should be able to treat approximately the following quantity of oil:

If it is decided after all to install an individual purifier for MDO on board, the capacity should be
based on the above recommendation, or it should
be a centrifuge of the same size as that for HFO.
The Nominal MCR is used to determine the total installed capacity. Any derating can be taken
into consideration in borderline cases where the
centrifuge that is one step smaller is able to cover
Specified MCR.

This is to be of the screw or gear wheel type.

The size of the centrifuge has to be chosen according to the suppliers table valid for the selected viscosity of the Heavy Fuel Oil. Normally, two
centrifuges are installed for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO),
each with adequate capacity to comply with the
above recommendation.
A centrifuge for Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) is not a
must. However, MAN Diesel recommends that at
least one of the HFO purifiers can also treat MDO.

chart, Fig. 7.05.01. The chart is based on information from oil suppliers regarding typical marine
fuels with viscosity index 7080.
Since the viscosity after the heater is the controlled parameter, the heating temperature may vary,
depending on the viscosity and viscosity index of
the fuel.

To maintain a correct and constant viscosity of

the fuel oil at the inlet to the main engine, the
steam supply shall be automatically controlled,

Fuel oil filter

Fuel oil venting box

The filter can be of the manually cleaned duplex

type or an automatic filter with a manually cleaned
bypass filter.

The design of the Fuel oil venting box is shown in

Fig. 7.05.02. The size is chosen according to the
maximum flow of the fuel oil circulation pump,
which is listed in section 6.03.

If a double filter (duplex) is installed, it should

have sufficient capacity to allow the specified full
amount of oil to flow through each side of the filter
at a given working temperature with a max. 0.3
bar pressure drop across the filter (clean filter).

Water In Fuel Emulsification

The emulsification of water into the fuel oil reduces the NOx emission with about 1% per 1% water
added to the fuel up to about 20% without modification of the engine fuel injection equipment.
A Water In Fuel emulsion (WIF) mixed for this purpose and based on Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) is stable
for a long time, whereas a WIF based on Marine
Diesel Oil is only stable for a short period of time
unless an emulsifying agent is applied.
As both the MAN B&W twostroke main engine
and the MAN Diesel GenSets are designed to run
on emulsified HFO, it can be used for a common
system.
It is supposed below, that both the main engine
and GenSets are running on the same fuel, either
HFO or a homogenised HFO-based WIF.
Special arrangements are available on request for
a more sophisticated system in which the GenSets
can run with or without a homogenised HFObased WIF, if the main engine is running on that.
Please note that the fuel pump injection capacity
shall be confirmed for the main engine as well as
the GenSets for the selected percentage of water
in the WIF.

Safety system
In case the pressure in the fuel oil line drops, the
water homogenised into the Water In Fuel emulsion will evaporate, damaging the emulsion and
creating supply problems. This situation is avoided by installing a third, air driven supply pump,
which keeps the pressure as long as air is left in
the tank S, see Fig. 7.06.01.
Before the tank S is empty, an alarm is given and
the drain valve is opened, which will drain off the
WIF and replace it with HFO or diesel oil from the
service tank.
The drain system is kept at atmospheric pressure,
so the water will evaporate when the hot emulsion
enters the safety tank. The safety tank shall be
designed accordingly.
Impact on the auxiliary systems
Please note that if the engine operates on Water
In Fuel emulsion (WIF), in order to reduce the NOx
emission, the exhaust gas temperature will decrease due to the reduced air / exhaust gas ratio
and the increased specific heat of the exhaust gas.

Temperature and pressure

Depending on the water content, this will have an

impact on the calculation and design of the following items:

When water is added by emulsification, the fuel

viscosity increases. In order to keep the injection
viscosity at 10-15 cSt and still be able to operate
on up to 700 cSt fuel oil, the heating temperature
has to be increased to about 170 C depending on
the water content.

The higher temperature calls for a higher pressure

to prevent cavitation and steam formation in the
system. The inlet pressure is thus set to 13 bar.

For further information about emulsification of water into the fuel and use of Water In Fuel emulsion
(WIF), please refer to our publication titled:

In order to avoid temperature chock when mixing

water into the fuel in the homogeniser, the water
inlet temperature is to be set to 7090 C.

Lubricating and Cooling Oil System

has a drain arrangement so that oil condensed in
the pipe can be led to a drain tank, see details in
Fig. 8.07.01.

The lubricating oil is pumped from a bottom tank

by means of the main lubricating oil pump to the
lubricating oil cooler, a thermostatic valve and,
through a fullflow filter, to the engine inlet RU, Fig.
8.01.01.

Drains from the engine bedplate AE are fitted on

both sides, see Fig. 8.07.02 Bedplate drain pipes.

RU lubricates main bearings, thrust bearing, axial

vibration damper, piston cooling, crosshead bearings, crankpin bearings. It also supplies oil to the
Hydraulic Power Supply unit and to moment compensator and torsional vibration damper.

For external pipe connections, we prescribe a

maximum oil velocity of 1.8 m/s.
Lubrication of turbochargers

From the engine, the oil collects in the oil pan,

from where it is drained off to the bottom tank,
see Fig. 8.06.01a and b Lubricating oil tank, with
cofferdam. By class demand, a cofferdam must
be placed underneath the lubricating oil tank.

Turbochargers with slide bearings are normally

lubricated from the main engine system. AB is
outlet from the turbocharger, see Figs. 8.03.01 to
8.03.04, which are shown with sensors for UMS.

The engine crankcase is vented through AR by a

pipe which extends directly to the deck. This pipe

Hydraulic Power Supply Unit

Internally on the engine RU is connected to the
Hydraulic Power Supply unit (HPS) which supplies
the hydraulic oil to the Hydraulic Cylinder Units
(HCUs). The HPS unit can be either mounted onto
the engine and engine driven (EoD 4 40 160) or
delivered separately electrically driven, option 4
40 660. See figs. 16.01.02 and 16.01.03 respectively.
The hydraulic power supply unit shown in Fig.
8.02.01, consists of:
an automatic main filter with a redundance filter,
in parallel
two electrically driven pumps
three engine driven pumps
an safety and accumulator block

The Hydraulic power supply is available

in 2 versions
The standard version, EoD 4 40 660, is the classic ME power supply where the hydraulic power
is generated by engine driven pumps and start up
pressure is created by electric driven start pumps.
The capacity of the start up pumps is only sufficient to make the start up pressure. The engine
can not run with the engine driven pumps out of
operation.
The optional version, EoD 4 40 661 is similar to
the standard version, but the electric driven start
up pumps have a capacity sufficient to give Take
Home power at least 15% engine power. The
electric power consumption should be taken into
consideration in the specification of the auxilliary
machinery capacity.

RW is the oil outlet from the automatic backflushing filter.

At start one of the two electrically driven startup
pumps is activated, and it is stopped as soon as
the three engine driven pumps have taken over
the hydraulic oil supply.
The hydraulic oil is supplied to the Hydraulic Cylinder Units (HCU) located at each cylinder, where
it is diverted to the electronic Fuel Injection system, and to the electronic exhaust Valve Activation (FIVA) system, which perform the fuel injection and opens the exhaust valve. The exhaust
valve is closed by the conventional air spring.
The electronic signals to the FIVA valves are given
by the Engine Control System, see Chapter 16,
Engine Control System (ECS).

Lubricating Oil Centrifuges and List of Lubricating Oils

For Unattended Machinery Spaces (UMS), automatic centrifuges with total discharge or partial
discharge are to be used. Manual cleaning centrifuges can only be used for Attended Machinery
Spaces (AMS).
The nominal capacity of the centrifuge is to be
according to the suppliers recommendation for
lubricating oil, based on the figure:
0.136 litre/kWh
The Nominal MCR is used as the total installed
power.
List of lubricating oils
The circulating oil (lubricating and cooling oil)
must be of the rust and oxidation inhibited type of
oil of SAE 30 viscosity grade.
In order to keep the crankcase and piston cooling
spaces clean of deposits, the oil should have adequate dispersion and detergent properties.
Alkaline circulating oils are generally superior in
this respect.

Components for Lubricating Oil System

Lubricating oil pump

Lubricating oil cooler

The lubricating oil pump can be of the displacement wheel, or the centrifugal type:

The lubricating oil cooler must be of the shell and

tube type made of seawater resistant material, or
a plate type heat exchanger with plate material
of titanium, unless freshwater is used in a central
cooling water system.

Cooling water temperature at inlet:
seawater.......................................................... 32 C
freshwater........................................................ 36 C
Pressure drop on water side........maximum 0.2 bar

The pump head is based on a total pressure drop

across cooler and filter of maximum 1 bar.

The lubricating oil flow capacity must be within a

range from 100 to 112% of the capacity stated.

Referring to Fig. 8.01.01, the bypass valve shown

between the main lubricating oil pumps may be
omitted in cases where the pumps have a builtin
bypass or if centrifugal pumps are used.

The cooling water flow capacity must be within a

range from 100 to 110% of the capacity stated.

* 400 cSt is specified, as it is normal practice when

starting on cold oil, to partly open the bypass
valves of the lubricating oil pumps, so as to reduce
the electric power requirements for the pumps.

If centrifugal pumps are used, it is recommended

to install a throttle valve at position 005 to prevent
an excessive oil level in the oil pan if the centrifugal
pump is supplying too much oil to the engine.
During trials, the valve should be adjusted by
means of a device which permits the valve to be
closed only to the extent that the minimum flow
area through the valve gives the specified lubricating oil pressure at the inlet to the engine at full
normal load conditions. It should be possible to
fully open the valve, e.g. when starting the engine
with cold oil.
It is recommended to install a 25 mm valve (pos.
006), with a hose connection after the main lubricating oil pumps, for checking the cleanliness of
the lubricating oil system during the flushing procedure. The valve is to be located on the underside of a horizontal pipe just after the discharge
from the lubricating oil pumps.

MAN B&W S90MC-C7/8, S90MEC7/8,

K90ME9, K90MEC9, S80MEC7/8/9

To ensure the correct functioning of the lubricating oil cooler, we recommend that the seawater
temperature is regulated so that it will not be
lower than 10 C.
The pressure drop may be larger, depending on
the actual cooler design.

The required oil flow, specified in the List of
capacities, should be increased by the amount
of oil used for the backflushing, so that the
lubricating oil pressure at the inlet to the main
engine can be maintained during cleaning.

The flow capacity must be within a range from

100 to 112% of the capacity stated.

If an automatically cleaned filter is installed, it

should be noted that in order to activate the
cleaning process, certain makes of filter require
a higher oil pressure at the inlet to the filter than
the pump pressure specified. Therefore, the
pump capacity should be adequate for this purpose, too.

The fullflow filter should be located as close as

possible to the main engine.

Flushing of lube oil system

* The absolute fineness corresponds to a nominal

fineness of approximately 35 m at a retaining
rate of 90%.

If a double filter (duplex) is installed, it should

have sufficient capacity to allow the specified full
amount of oil to flow through each side of the filter
at a given working temperature with a pressure
drop across the filter of maximum 0.2 bar (clean
filter).

Hydraulic Oil Backflushing

The special suction arrangement for purifier suction in connection with the ME engine (Integrated

This special arrangement for purifier suction will

ensure that a good cleaning effect on the lubrication oil is obtained.

The back-flushing oil from the self cleaning 6 m

hydraulic control oil filter unit built onto the engine
is contaminated and it is therefore not expedient to
lead it directly into the lubricating oil sump tank.

If found profitable the back-flushed lubricating oil

from the main lubricating oil filter (normally a 50 or

designed with a small back-flushing hydraulic
control oil drain tank to which the back-flushed
hydraulic control oil is led and from which the lubricating oil purifier can also suck.

The special suction arrangement for the purifier is

consisting of two connected tanks (lubricating oil
sump tank and back-flushing oil drain tank) and
of this reason the oil level will be the same in both
tanks, as explained in detail below.

The oil level in the two tanks will be equalizing

through the branch pipe to back-flushing oil drain
tank, see Fig. 8.08.01. As the pipes have the
same diameters but a different length, the resistance is larger in the branch pipe to back-flushing
oil drain tank, and therefore the purifier will suck
primarily from the sump tank.

The oil level in the sump tank and the back-flushing oil drain tank will remain to be about equal because the tanks are interconnected at the top.

When hydraulic control oil is back-flushed from

the filter, it will give a higher oil level in the backflushing hydraulic control oil drain tank and the
purifier will suck from this tank until the oil level is
the same in both tanks. After that, the purifier will
suck from the sump tank, as mentioned above.

Cylinder Lubricating Oil System

The cost of the cylinder lubricating oil is one of the
largest contributions to total operating costs, next
to the fuel oil cost. Another aspect is that the lubrication rate has a great influence on the cylinder
condition, and thus on the overhauling schedules
and maintenance costs.

Cylinder oil feed rate (dosage)

Adjustment of the cylinder oil dosage to the sulphur content in the fuel being burnt is further explained in Section 9.02.

It is therefore of the utmost importance that the

cylinder lubricating oil system as well as its operation is optimised.
Cylinder oils
Cylinder oils should, preferably, be of the SAE 50
viscosity grade.
Modern highrated twostroke engines have a
relatively great demand for detergency in the cylinder oil. Therefore cylinder oils should be chosen
according to the below list.
A BN 70 cylinder oil is to be used as the default
choice of oil and it may be used on all fuel types.
However, in case of the engine running on fuel
with sulphur content lower than 1.5% for more
than 1 to 2 weeks, we recommend to change to a
lower BN cylinder oil such as BN 40-50.
The cylinder oils listed below have all given longterm satisfactory service during heavy fuel operation in MAN B&W engine installations:

MAN B&W Alpha Cylinder Lubrication System

The MAN B&W Alpha cylinder lubrication system,
see Figs. 9.02.02a and 9.02.02b, is designed to
supply cylinder oil intermittently, e.g. every four
engine revolutions with electronically controlled
timing and dosage at a defined position.
The cylinder lubricating oil is pumped from the
cylinder oil storage tank to the service tank, the
size of which depends on the owners and the
yards requirements, it is normally dimensioned
for minimum two days cylinder lubricating oil
consumption.
Cylinder lubricating oil is fed to the Alpha cylinder
lubrication system by gravity from the service
tank.
The storage tank and the service tank may alternatively be one and the same tank.
The oil fed to the injectors is pressurised by
means of the Alpha Lubricator which is placed
on the HCU and equipped with small multipiston
pumps.
The oil pipes fitted on the engine is shown in Fig.
9.02.04.
The whole system is controlled by the Cylinder
Control Unit (CCU) which controls the injection
frequency on the basis of the enginespeed signal
given by the tacho signal and the fuel index.
Prior to start-up, the cylinders can be prelubric
ated and, during the runningin period, the operator can choose to increase the lubricating oil feed
rate to a max. setting of 200%.

Alpha Adaptive Cylinder Oil

Control (Alpha ACC)
It is a wellknown fact that the actual need for
cylinder oil quantity varies with the operational
conditions such as load and fuel oil quality. Consequently, in order to perform the optimal lubrication costeffectively as well as technically the
cylinder lubricating oil dosage should follow such
operational variations accordingly.
The Alpha lubricating system offers the possibility
of saving a considerable amount of cylinder lubricating oil per year and, at the same time, to obtain
a safer and more predictable cylinder condition.
Working principle
The basic feed rate control should be adjusted in
relation to the actual fuel quality and amount being burnt at any given time. The sulphur percentage is a good indicator in relation to wear, and an
oil dosage proportional to the sulphur level will
give the best overall cylinder condition.
The following two criteria determine the control:

The cylinder oil dosage shall be proportional to

the sulphur percentage in the fuel

The cylinder oil dosage shall be proportional to

the engine load (i.e. the amount of fuel entering

the cylinders).

The implementation of the above two criteria will

lead to an optimal cylinder oil dosage, proportional to the amount of sulphur entering the cylinders.

The MAN B&W Alpha Cylinder Lubricator is preferably to be controlled in accordance with the Alpha ACC (Adaptive Cylinder oil Control) feed rate
system.
The yard supply should be according to the items
shown in Fig. 9.02.02a within the broken line. With
regard to the filter and the small box, plese see
Fig. 9.02.05.

Basic and minimum setting with Alpha ACC

The recommendations are valid for all plants,
whether controllable pitch or fixed pitch propellers
are used.

Due to the sulphur dependency, the average cylinder oil dosages rely on the sulphur distribution
in worldwide fuel bunkers. Based on deliveries all
over the world, the resulting yearly specific cylinder oil dosage is close to 0.65 g/kWh.

Safe and very lubricatingeconomical control after

running-in is obtained with a basic setting according to the formula:

Further information on cylinder oil as a function of

fuel oil sulphur content and alkalinity of lubricating
oil is available from MAN Diesel.

Basic lubricating oil setting = 0.20 g/kWh x S%

with a minimum setting of 0.60 g/kWh, i.e. the setting should be kept constant from about 3% sulphur and downwards.

Cylinder Oil Pipe Heating

In case of low engine room temperature, it can be
difficult to keep the cylinder oil temperature at 45
C at the MAN B&W Alpha Lubricator, mounted on
the hydraulic cylinder.
Therefore the cylinder oil pipe from the small tank,
see Figs. 9.02.02a and 9.02.02b, in the vessel and
of the main cylinder oil pipe on the engine is insulated and electricallly heated.

The engine builder is to make the insulation and

heating on the main cylinder oil pipe on the engine. Moreover, the engine builder is to mount the
junction box and the thermostat on the engine.
See Fig. 9.02.03.
The ship yard is to make the insulation of the
cylinder oil pipe in the engine room. The heating cable supplied by the engine builder is to be
mounted from the small tank to the juntion box on
the engine. See Figs. 9.02.02a and 9.02.02b.

Stuffing Box Drain Oil System

For engines running on heavy fuel, it is important
that the oil drained from the piston rod stuffing
boxes is not led directly into the system oil, as
the oil drained from the stuffing box is mixed with
sludge from the scavenge air space.
The performance of the piston rod stuffing box on
the engines has proved to be very efficient, primarily because the hardened piston rod allows a
higher scraper ring pressure.

The amount of drain oil from the stuffing boxes is

Advantages of the central cooling system:

An arrangement common for the main engine

and MAN Diesel auxiliary engines is available on
request.

Only one heat exchanger cooled by seawater,

and thus, only one exchanger to be overhauled
All other heat exchangers are freshwater cooled
and can, therefore, be made of a less expensive
material

Central Cooling Water System

The central cooling water system is characterised
by having only one heat exchanger cooled by
seawater, and by the other coolers, including the
jacket water cooler, being cooled by central cooling water.
In order to prevent too high a scavenge air temperature, the cooling water design temperature
in the central cooling water system is normally 36
C, corresponding to a maximum seawater temperature of 32 C.
Our recommendation of keeping the cooling water
inlet temperature to the main engine scavenge

air cooler as low as possible also applies to the

central cooling system. This means that the temperature control valve in the central cooling water
circuit is to be set to minimum 10 C, whereby the
temperature follows the outboard seawater temperature when central cooling water temperature
exceeds 10 C.
For external pipe connections, we prescribe the
following maximum water velocities:
Jacket water................................................. 3.0 m/s

Central cooling water thermostatic valve
The low temperature cooling system is to be
equipped with a threeway valve, mounted as a
mixing valve, which bypasses all or part of the
fresh water around the central cooler.
The sensor is to be located at the outlet pipe from
the thermostatic valve and is set so as to keep a
temperature level of minimum 10 C.

The pressure drop may be larger, depending on

the actual cooler design.
The heat dissipation and the seawater flow figures
are based on MCR output at tropical conditions,
i.e. a seawater temperature of 32 C and an ambient air temperature of 45 C.
Overload running at tropical conditions will slightly
increase the temperature level in the cooling system, and will also slightly influence the engine
performance.

Seawater Systems
The water cooling can be arranged in several configurations, the most simple system choices being
seawater and central cooling water system:

A seawater cooling system and a jacket cooling water system

The advantages of the seawater cooling system

are mainly related to first cost, viz:
Only two sets of cooling water pumps (seawater
and jacket water)
Simple installation with few piping systems.
Whereas the disadvantages are:
Seawater to all coolers and thereby higher
maintenance cost
Expensive seawater piping of noncorrosive materials such as galvanised steel pipes or CuNi
pipes.

Seawater Cooling System

The seawater cooling system is used for cooling,
the main engine lubricating oil cooler, the jacket
water cooler and the scavenge air cooler, see Fig.
12.02.01.
The lubricating oil cooler for a PTO stepup gear
should be connected in parallel with the other
coolers. The capacity of the seawater pump is
based on the outlet temperature of the seawater
being maximum 50 C after passing through the
coolers with an inlet temperature of maximum
32 C (tropical conditions), i.e. a maximum temperature increase of 18 C.

The interrelated positioning of the coolers in the

system serves to achieve:
The lowest possible cooling water inlet temperature to the lubricating oil cooler in order to
obtain the cheapest cooler. On the other hand,
in order to prevent the lubricating oil from stiffening in cold services, the inlet cooling water
temperature should not be lower than 10 C
The lowest possible cooling water inlet temperature to the scavenge air cooler, in order to keep
the fuel oil consumption as low as possible.

The valves located in the system fitted to adjust

the distribution of cooling water flow are to be
provided with graduated scales.

Jacket Cooling Water System

The jacket cooling water system is used for cooling the cylinder liners, cylinder covers and exhaust valves of the main engine and heating of the
fuel oil drain pipes, see Fig. 12.05.01.

The venting pipe in the expansion tank should end

just below the lowest water level, and the expansion tank must be located at least 5 m above the
engine cooling water outlet pipe.

The jacket water pump) draws water from the

jacket water cooler outlet and delivers it to the
engine.

The freshwater generator, if installed, may be connected to the seawater system if the generator
does not have a separate cooling water pump.
The generator must be coupled in and out slowly
over a period of at least 3 minutes.

At the inlet to the jacket water cooler there is a

thermostatically controlled regulating valve, with
a sensor at the engine cooling water outlet, which
keeps the main engine cooling water outlet at a
temperature of 80 C.

For external pipe connections, we prescribe the

following maximum water velocities:
Jacket water................................................. 3.0 m/s
Seawater...................................................... 3.0 m/s

The engine jacket water must be carefully treated,

maintained and monitored so as to avoid corrosion, corrosion fatigue, cavitation and scale formation. It is recommended to install a preheater
if preheating is not available from the auxiliary
engines jacket cooling water system.

Components for Jacket Cooling Water System

Jacket water cooling pump

The sensor is to be located at the outlet from the

main engine, and the temperature level must be
adjustable in the range of 7090 C.

The pumps are to be of the centrifugal type.

Jacket water flow................ see List of Capacities
Pump head....................................................3.0 bar
Delivery pressure....................depends on position

of expansion tank
Test pressure....................... according to class rule
Working temperature,.............. 80 C, max. 100 C
The flow capacity must be within a range from
100 to 110% of the capacity stated.
The stated capacities cover the main engine only.
The pump head of the pumps is to be determined
based on the total actual pressure drop across
the cooling water system.

Jacket water preheater

When a preheater, see Fig. 12.05.01, is installed in
the jacket cooling water system, its water flow, and
thus the preheater pump capacity, should be about
10% of the jacket water main pump capacity.
Based on experience, it is recommended that the
pressure drop across the preheater should be
approx. 0.2 bar. The preheater pump and main
pump should be electrically interlocked to avoid
the risk of simultaneous operation.
The preheater capacity depends on the required
preheating time and the required temperature
increase of the engine jacket water. The temperature and time relations are shown in Fig. 12.08.01.

Freshwater generator
If a generator is installed in the ship for production of freshwater by utilising the heat in the jacket
water cooling system it should be noted that the
actual available heat in the jacket water system is
lower than indicated by the heat dissipation figures
given in the List of Capacities. This is because
the latter figures are used for dimensioning the
jacket water cooler and hence incorporate a safety
margin which can be needed when the engine is
operating under conditions such as, e.g. overload.
Normally, this margin is 10% at nominal MCR.
The calculation of the heat actually available at
specified MCR for a derated diesel engine is stated in Chapter 6 List of Capacities.

In general, a temperature increase of about 35 C

(from 15 C to 50 C) is required, and a preheating
time of 12 hours requires a preheater capacity of
about 1% of the engine`s nominal MCR power.
Deaerating tank
Design and dimensions of the deaerating tank
are shown in Fig. 12.07.01 Deaerating tank and
the corresponding alarm device is shown in Fig.
12.07.02 Deaerating tank, alarm device.
Expansion tank

For illustration of installation of fresh water generator see Fig. 12.05.01.

The total expansion tank volume has to be approximate 10% of the total jacket cooling water
amount in the system.

Jacket water thermostatic valve

The temperature control system is equipped with
a threeway valve mounted as a diverting valve,
which bypass all or part of the jacket water
around the jacket water cooler.

Temperature at Start of Engine

In order to protect the engine, some minimum
temperature restrictions have to be considered
before starting the engine and, in order to avoid
corrosive attacks on the cylinder liners during
starting.

60

Normal start of engine

50

Normally, a minimum engine jacket water temperature of 50 C is recommended before the engine
is started and run up gradually to 90% of specified MCR speed.
For running between 90% and 100% of specified
MCR speed, it is recommended that the load be
increased slowly i.e. over a period of 30 minutes.

In exceptional circumstances where it is not possible to comply with the above-mentioned recommendation, a minimum of 20 C can be accepted
before the engine is started and run up slowly to
90% of specified MCR speed.
However, before exceeding 90% specified MCR
speed, a minimum engine temperature of 50 C
should be obtained and, increased slowly i.e.
over a period of at least 30 minutes.
The time period required for increasing the jacket
water temperature from 20 C to 50 C will depend on the amount of water in the jacket cooling
water system, and the engine load.
Note:
The above considerations are based on the assumption that the engine has already been well
runin.

Preheating during standstill periods
During short stays in port (i.e. less than 45 days),
it is recommended that the engine is kept preheated, the purpose being to prevent temperature
variation in the engine structure and corresponding variation in thermal expansions and possible
leakages.
The jacket cooling water outlet temperature should
be kept as high as possible and should before
startingup be increased to at least 50 C, either
by means of cooling water from the auxiliary engines, or by means of a builtin preheater in the
jacket cooling water system, or a combination.

Scavenge Air System

Scavenge air is supplied to the engine by two or
more turbochargers, located on the exhaust side
of the engine.
The compressor of the turbocharger draws air
from the engine room, through an air filter, and
the compressed air is cooled by the scavenge
air cooler, one per turbocharger. The scavenge
air cooler is provided with a water mist catcher,
which prevents condensate water from being carried with the air into the scavenge air receiver and
to the combustion chamber.

The scavenge air system (see Figs. 14.01.01 and

14.02.01) is an integrated part of the main engine.
The engine power figures and the data in the list
of capacities are based on MCR at tropical conditions, i.e. a seawater temperature of 32 C, or
freshwater temperature of 36 C, and an ambient
air inlet temperature of 45 C.

Auxiliary Blowers
The engine is provided with a minimum of two

The auxiliary blowers are fitted onto the main
engine. Between the scavenge air cooler and the
scavenge air receiver, nonreturn valves are fitted which close automatically when the auxiliary
blowers start supplying the scavenge air.

During operation of the engine, the auxiliary blowers will start automatically whenever the blower
inlet pressure drops below a preset pressure,
corresponding to an engine load of approximately
25-35%.
The blowers will continue to operate until the
blower inlet pressure again exceeds the preset
pressure plus an appropriate hysteresis (i.e. taking
recent pressure history into account), corresponding to an engine load of approximately 30-40%.

Auxiliary blower operation

Emergency running
The auxiliary blowers start operating consecutively before the engine is started and will ensure
complete scavenging of the cylinders in the starting phase, thus providing the best conditions for a
safe start.

If one of the auxiliary blowers is out of function,

the other auxiliary blower will function in the system, without any manual adjustment of the valves
being necessary.

Control of the Auxiliary Blowers

The starter panels with starters for the auxiliary

blower motors are not included, they can be ordered as an option: 4 55 653. (The starter panel
design and function is according to MAN Diesels
diagram, however, the physical layout and choice
of components has to be decided by the manufacturer).

The control system for the auxiliary blowers is

integrated in the Engine Control System. The auxiliary blowers can be controlled in either automatic
(default) or manual mode.
In automatic mode, the auxiliary blowers are
started sequentially at the moment the engine is
commanded to start. During engine running, the
blowers are started and stopped according to
preset scavenge air pressure limits.

Heaters for the blower motors are available as an

option: 4 55 155.
Scavenge air cooler requirements

When the engine stops, the blowers are stopped

after 10 minutes to prevent overheating of the
blowers. When a start is ordered, the blower will
be started in the normal sequence and the actual
start of the engine will be delayed until the blowers have started.

The data for the scavenge air cooler is specified in

the description of the cooling water system chosen.
For further information, please refer to our publication titled:
Influence of Ambient Temperature Conditions

In manual mode, the blowers can be controlled

individually from the ECR (Engine Control Room)
panel irrespective of the engine condition.

Scavenge Air Cooler Cleaning System

The air side of the scavenge air cooler can be
cleaned by injecting a grease dissolving media
through AK to a spray pipe arrangement fitted to
the air chamber above the air cooler element.

The system is equipped with a drain box with a

level switch, indicating any excessive water level.
The piping delivered with and fitted on the engine
is shown in Fig 14.05.01.

Drain from water mist catcher

Auto Pump Overboard System
Sludge is drained through AL to the drain water
collecting tank and the polluted grease dissolvent
returns from AM, through a filter, to the chemical
cleaning tank. The cleaning must be carried out
while the engine is at standstill.
Dirty water collected after the water mist catcher
is drained through DX and led to the bilge tank
via an open funnel, see Fig. 14.05.02.
The AL drain line is, during running, used as a
permanent drain from the air cooler water mist
catcher. The water is led through an orifice to prevent major losses of scavenge air.

AK

It is common practice on board to lead drain water directly overboard via a collecting tank. Before
pumping the drain water overboard, it is recommended to measure the oil content. If above
15ppm, the drain water should be lead to the
clean bilge tank / bilge holding tank.
If required by the owner, a system for automatic
disposal of drain water with oil content monitoring
could be built as outlined in Fig. 14.05.02.

The scavenge air box is continuously drained
through AV to a small pressurised drain tank,
from where the sludge is led to the sludge tank.
Steam can be applied through BV, if required, to
facilitate the draining. See Fig. 14.06.01.
The continuous drain from the scavenge air box
must not be directly connected to the sludge tank
owing to the scavenge air pressure.

The pressurised drain tank must be designed to

withstand full scavenge air pressure and, if steam
is applied, to withstand the steam pressure available.

Exhaust Gas System

The exhaust gas is led from the cylinders to the
exhaust gas receiver where the fluctuating pressures from the cylinders are equalised and from
where the gas is led further on to the turbocharger
at a constant pressure. See fig. 15.01.01.
Compensators are fitted between the exhaust
valve housings and the exhaust gas receiver and
between the receiver and the turbocharger. A protective grating is placed between the exhaust gas
receiver and the turbocharger. The turbocharger
is fitted with a pickup for monitoring and remote
indication of the turbocharger speed.
The exhaust gas receiver and the exhaust pipes
are provided with insulation, covered by steel
plating.

Turbocharger arrangement and cleaning systems

The turbochargers are located on the exhaust
side of the engine.
The engine is designed for the installation of the
MAN Diesel turbocharger type TCA, option: 4 59
101, ABB turbocharger types TPL or A100, option:
4 59 102, or MHI turbocharger type MET, option:
4 59 103.
All makes of turbochargers are fitted with an arrangement for water washing of the compressor
side, and soft blast cleaning of the turbine side,
see Figs. 15.02.02, 15.02.03 and 15.02.04. Washing of the turbine side is only applicable on MAN

Exhaust Gas System for Main Engine

At the specified MCR of the engine, the total
backpressure in the exhaust gas system after the
turbocharger (as indicated by the static pressure
measured in the piping after the turbocharger)
must not exceed 350 mm WC (0.035 bar).
In order to have a backpressure margin for the
final system, it is recommended at the design
stage to initially use a value of about 300 mm WC
(0.030 bar).
The actual backpressure in the exhaust gas
system at specified MCR depends on the gas
velocity, i.e. it is proportional to the square of the
exhaust gas velocity, and hence inversely proportional to the pipe diameter to the 4th power. It has
by now become normal practice in order to avoid
too much pressure loss in the pipings to have an
exhaust gas velocity at specified MCR of about
35 m/sec, but not higher than 50 m/sec.
For dimensioning of the external exhaust pipe
connections, see the exhaust pipe diameters for
35 m/sec, 40 m/sec, 45 m/sec and 50 m/sec respectively, shown in Table 15.07.02.
As long as the total backpressure of the exhaust
gas system (incorporating all resistance losses
from pipes and components) complies with the
abovementioned requirements, the pressure
losses across each component may be chosen independently, see proposed measuring points (M)
in Fig. 15.05.01. The general design guidelines for
each component, described below, can be used
for guidance purposes at the initial project stage.

The exhaust system for the main engine comprises:

Exhaust gas pipes
Exhaust gas boiler
Silencer
Spark arrester (if needed)
Expansion joints (compensators)
Pipe bracings.
In connection with dimensioning the exhaust gas
piping system, the following parameters must be
observed:
Exhaust gas flow rate
Exhaust gas temperature at turbocharger outlet
Maximum pressure drop through exhaust gas
system
Maximum noise level at gas outlet to atmosphere
Maximum force from exhaust piping on
turbocharger(s)
Sufficient axial and lateral elongation ability of
expansion joints
Utilisation of the heat energy of the exhaust gas.
Items that are to be calculated or read from tables
are:
Exhaust gas mass flow rate, temperature and maximum back pressure at turbocharger gas outlet
Diameter of exhaust gas pipes
Utilisation of the exhaust gas energy
Attenuation of noise from the exhaust pipe outlet
Pressure drop across the exhaust gas system
Expansion joints.

Exhaust gas piping system for main engine

The exhaust gas piping system conveys the gas
from the outlet of the turbocharger(s) to the atmosphere.
The exhaust piping is shown schematically in
Fig. 15.04.01.

Components of the Exhaust Gas System

Exhaust gas compensator after turbocharger

Exhaust gas boiler

When dimensioning the compensator, option:

4 60 610, for the expansion joint on the turbocharger gas outlet transition piece, option: 4 60 601,
the exhaust gas piece and components, are to be
so arranged that the thermal expansions are absorbed by expansion joints. The heat expansion of
the pipes and the components is to be calculated
based on a temperature increase from 20 C to
250 C. The max. expected vertical, transversal
and longitudinal heat expansion of the engine
measured at the top of the exhaust gas transition
piece of the turbocharger outlet are indicated in
Fig. 15.06.01 and Table 15.06.02 as DA, DB and DC.

Engine plants are usually designed for utilisation of

the heat energy of the exhaust gas for steam production or for heating the thermal oil system. The
exhaust gas passes an exhaust gas boiler which is
usually placed near the engine top or in the funnel.

The movements stated are related to the engine

seating, for DC, however, to the engine centre. The
figures indicate the axial and the lateral movements
related to the orientation of the expansion joints.

This pressure loss depends on the pressure losses

in the rest of the system as mentioned above.
Therefore, if an exhaust gas silencer/spark arrester is not installed, the acceptable pressure loss
across the boiler may be somewhat higher than the
max. of 150 mm WC, whereas, if an exhaust gas
silencer/spark arrester is installed, it may be necessary to reduce the maximum pressure loss.

The expansion joints are to be chosen with an elasticity that limits the forces and the moments of the
exhaust gas outlet flange of the turbocharger as
stated for each of the turbocharger makers in Table
15.06.04. The orientation of the maximum permissible forces and moments on the gas outlet flange
of the turbocharger is shown in Fig. 15.06.03.

It should be noted that the exhaust gas temperature and flow rate are influenced by the ambient
conditions, for which reason this should be considered when the exhaust gas boiler is planned. At
specified MCR, the maximum recommended pressure loss across the exhaust gas boiler is normally
150 mm WC.

The above mentioned pressure loss across the

exhaust gas boiler must include the pressure
losses from the inlet and outlet transition pieces.

When the noise level at the exhaust gas outlet to

the atmosphere needs to be silenced, a silencer
can be placed in the exhaust gas piping system
after the exhaust gas boiler.
The exhaust gas silencer is usually of the absorption type and is dimensioned for a gas velocity of
approximately 35 m/s through the central tube of
the silencer.
An exhaust gas silencer can be designed based
on the required damping of noise from the exhaust gas given on the graph.
In the event that an exhaust gas silencer is required this depends on the actual noise level
requirement on the bridge wing, which is normally
maximum 6070 dB(A) a simple flow silencer of
the absorption type is recommended. Depending
on the manufacturer, this type of silencer normally has a pressure loss of around 20 mm WC at
specified MCR.

an angle of 30 degrees to the gas flow and valid for an
exhaust gas system without boiler and silencer, etc.

Spark arrester
To prevent sparks from the exhaust gas being
spread over deck houses, a spark arrester can be
fitted as the last component in the exhaust gas
system.
It should be noted that a spark arrester contributes with a considerable pressure drop, which is
often a disadvantage.
It is recommended that the combined pressure
loss across the silencer and/or spark arrester
should not be allowed to exceed 100 mm WC at
specified MCR. This depends, of course, on the
pressure loss in the remaining part of the system,
thus if no exhaust gas boiler is installed, 200 mm
WC might be allowed.

Calculation of Exhaust Gas BackPressure

The exhaust gas back pressure after the turbo
charger(s) depends on the total pressure drop in
the exhaust gas piping system.
The components, exhaust gas boiler, silencer, and
spark arrester, if fitted, usually contribute with a
major part of the dynamic pressure drop through
the entire exhaust gas piping system.
The components mentioned are to be specified
so that the sum of the dynamic pressure drop
through the different components should, if possible, approach 200 mm WC at an exhaust gas
flow volume corresponding to the specified MCR
at tropical ambient conditions. Then there will be
a pressure drop of 100 mm WC for distribution
among the remaining piping system.
Fig. 15.05.01 shows some guidelines regarding
resistance coefficients and backpressure loss
calculations which can be used, if the makers
data for backpressure is not available at an early
stage of the project.
The pressure loss calculations have to be based
on the actual exhaust gas amount and temperature valid for specified MCR. Some general formulas and definitions are given in the following.
Exhaust gas data

Exhaust gas velocity (v)

In a pipe with diameter D the exhaust gas velocity is:
M
4
_____
v = __
2
in m/s
x x D

Pressure losses in pipes (p)

For a pipe element, like a bend etc., with the resistance coefficient , the corresponding pressure
loss is:
1
p = x v2 x ___
9.81

in mm WC
where the expression after is the dynamic pressure of the flow in the pipe.
The friction losses in the straight pipes may, as a
guidance, be estimated as :
1 mm WC per 1 diameter length
whereas the positive influence of the updraught
in the vertical pipe is normally negligible.
Pressure losses across components (p)
The pressure loss p across silencer, exhaust
gas boiler, spark arrester, rain water trap, etc., to
be measured/ stated as shown in Fig. 15.05.01 (at
specified MCR) is normally given by the relevant
manufacturer.

M: exhaust gas amount at specified MCR in kg/sec.

T: exhaust gas temperature at specified MCR in C
Please note that the actual exhaust gas temperature is different before and after the boiler. The
exhaust gas data valid after the turbocharger may
be found in Chapter 6.

Total backpressure (pM)

The total backpressure, measured/stated as the static pressure in the pipe after the turbocharger, is then:
pM = p

Mass density of exhaust gas ()

where p incorporates all pipe elements and

components etc. as described:

273
1.293 x ______
273

x 1.015 in kg/m3
+T

The factor 1.015 refers to the average backpressure of 150 mm WC (0.015 bar) in the exhaust gas
system.

MAN B&W MC/MCC, ME/MEC/MEGI/ME-B engines

pM has to be lower than 350 mm WC.

(At design stage it is recommended to use max.
300 mm WC in order to have some margin for
fouling).

Measuring Back Pressure

At any given position in the exhaust gas system,
the total pressure of the flow can be divided into
dynamic pressure (referring to the gas velocity)
and static pressure (referring to the wall pressure,
where the gas velocity is zero).
At a given total pressure of the gas flow, the
combination of dynamic and static pressure may
change, depending on the actual gas velocity. The
measurements, in principle, give an indication of
the wall pressure, i.e., the static pressure of the
gas flow.
It is, therefore, very important that the back pressure measuring points are located on a straight
part of the exhaust gas pipe, and at some distance from an obstruction, i.e. at a point where
the gas flow, and thereby also the static pressure,
is stable. Taking measurements, for example, in a
transition piece, may lead to an unreliable measurement of the static pressure.
In consideration of the above, therefore, the total
back pressure of the system has to be measured
after the turbocharger in the circular pipe and not
in the transition piece. The same considerations
apply to the measuring points before and after the
exhaust gas boiler, etc.

Engine Control System ME

The Engine Control System for the ME engine is
prepared for conventional remote control, having
an interface to the Bridge Control system and the
Local Operating Panel (LOP).
A Multi-Purpose Controller (MPC) is applied as
control unit for specific tasks described below:
ACU, CCU, ECU, and EICU. The control units are
all built on the same identical piece of hardware
and differ only in the software installed.
The layout of the Engine Control System is shown
in Figs. 16.01.01a and b, the mechanicalhydraulic
system is shown in Figs. 16.01.02a and b, and the
pneumatic system, shown in Fig. 16.01.03.
The ME system has a high level of redundancy.
It has been a requirement to its design that no
single failure related to the system may cause the
engine to stop. Furthermore, the ME system has
been designed so that a single failure in most cases will not, or only slightly, affect the performance
or power availability.
Main Operating Panel (MOP)
In the engine control room a MOP screen is located, which is a Personal Computer with a touch
screen as well as a trackball from where the engineer can carry out engine commands, adjust the
engine parameters, select the running modes, and
observe the status of the control system.
A conventional marine approved PC is also located in the engine control room serving as a
backup unit for the MOP.
Engine Control Unit (ECU)
For redundancy purposes, the control system
comprises two ECUs operating in parallel and
performing the same task, one being a hot
standby for the other. If one of the ECUs fail, the
other unit will take over the control without any
interruption.

MAN B&W ME/MEC engines

The ECUs perform such tasks as:

Speed governor functions, start/stop sequences, timing of fuel injection, timing of exhaust
valve activation, timing of starting valves, etc.
Continuous running control of auxiliary functions handled by the ACUs
Alternative running modes and programs.
Cylinder Control Unit (CCU)
The control system includes one CCU per cylinder. The CCU controls the electronic exhaust
Valve Activation (FIVA) and the Starting Air Valves
(SAV), in accordance with the commands received
from the ECU.
All the CCUs are identical, and in the event of a
failure of the CCU for one cylinder only this cylinder will automatically be put out of operation.
It should be noted that any electronic part could
be replaced without stopping the engine, which
will revert to normal operation immediately after
the replacement of the defective unit.
Auxiliary Control Unit (ACU)
The control of the auxiliary equipment on the engine is normally divided among three ACUs so
that, in the event of a failure of one unit, there is
sufficient redundancy to permit continuous operation of the engine.
The ACUs perform the control of the auxiliary
blowers, the control of the electrically and engine
driven hydraulic oil pumps of the Hydraulic Power
Supply (HPS) unit, etc.

MAN Diesel

198 48 476.6

MAN B&W

16.01
Page 2 of 9

Engine Interface Control Unit (EICU)

The two EICUs perform such tasks as interface
with the surrounding control systems, see Fig.
16.01.01a and b. The two redundant EICU units
operate in parallel.

Should the layout of the ship make longer Control

Network cabling necessary, a Control Network
Repeater must be inserted to amplify the signals
and divide the cable into segments no longer than
160 meter. For instance, where the Engine Control
Room and the engine room are located far apart.

The EICUs are located either in the Engine Control

Room (ECR) or in the engine room.

Power Supply

In basic execution, the EICUs are a placed in the

Cabinet for EICUs, EoD: 4 65 601. Optionally, the
EICUs can be placed in the ECS Common Control
Cabinet, option: 4 65 602, with the ACUs, CCUs
and ECUs. See Figs. 16.01a and b.

Local Operating Panel (LOP)

Hydraulic Power Supply (HPS)
In normal operating the engine can be controlled
from either the bridge or from the engine control
room.
Alternatively, the LOP can be activated. This redundant control is to be considered as a substitute for the previous Engine Side Control console
mounted directly onto the MC engine.
The LOP is as standard placed on the engine.
From the LOP, the basic functions are available,
such as starting, engine speed control, stopping,
reversing, and the most important engine data are
displayed.
Control Network
The MOP, the backup MOP and the MPCs are
interconnected by means of the doubled Control
Network, A and B respectively.
The maximum length of Control Network cabling
between the furthermost units on the engine and
in the Engine Control Room (an EICU or a MOP) is
160 meter.

MAN B&W ME/MEC engines

The purpose of the HPS unit is to deliver the

necessary high pressure hydraulic oil flow to the
Hydraulic Cylinder Units (HCU) on the engine at
the required pressure (approx. 300 bar) during
startup as well as in normal service.
As hydraulic medium, normal lubricating oil is
used, and it is in the standard execution taken
from the main lubricating oil system of the engine.
The HPS unit can be driven either mechanically
from the engine crankshaft, see Fig. 16.01.02.
The multiple pump configuration with standby
pumps ensures redundancy with regard to the
hydraulic power supply. The control of the engine
driven pumps and electrical pumps are divided
between the three ACUs.
The high pressure pipes between the HPS unit
and the HCU are of the double walled type, having a leak detector. Emergency running is possible
using the outer pipe as pressure containment for
the high pressure oil supply.
The sizes and capacities of the HPS unit depend
on the engine type. Further details about the HPS
and the lubricating oil/hydraulic oil system can be
found in Chapter 8.

Engine Control System Interface to Surrounding Systems

To support the navigator, the vessels are
equipped with a ship control system, which includes subsystems to supervise and protect the
main propulsion engine.

Telegraph system

Alarm system

This system enables the navigator to transfer the

commands of engine speed and direction of rotation from the Bridge, the engine control room or
the Local Operating Panel (LOP), and it provides
signals for speed setting and stop to the ECS.

The alarm system has no direct effect on the ECS.

The alarm alerts the operator of an abnormal condition.

The engine control room and the LOP are provided with combined telegraph and speed setting
units.

The alarm system is an independent system, in

general covering more than the main engine itself,
and its task is to monitor the service condition
and to activate the alarms if a normal service limit
is exceeded.
The signals from the alarm sensors can be used
for the slow down function as well as for remote
indication.

Remote Control system

The remote control system normally has two alternative control stations:
the bridge control
the engine control room control
The remote control system is to be delivered by
an approved supplier and it must be compatible
with the safety system.

Slow down system

Some of the signals given by the sensors of the
alarm system are used for the Slow down request signal to the ECS of the main engine.

Power Management System

The system handles the supply of electrical power
onboard, i. e. the starting and stopping of the generating sets as well as the activation / deactivation
of the main engine Shaft Generator (SG), if fitted.

Safety system
The engine safety system is an independent system with its respective sensors on the main engine, fulfilling the requirements of the respective
classification society and MAN Diesel.
If a critical value is reached for one of the measuring points, the input signal from the safety
system must cause either a cancellable or a
noncancellable shut down signal to the ECS.

The normal function involves starting, synchronising, phasingin, transfer of electrical load and
stopping of the generators based on the electrical
load of the grid on board.
The activation / deactivation of the SG is to be
done within the engine speed range which fulfils
the specified limits of the electrical frequency.

The safety system must be compatible with the

remote control system.

Vibration Aspects

The vibration characteristics of the twostroke low

speed diesel engines can for practical purposes
be split up into four categories, and if the adequate
countermeasures are considered from the early
project stage, the influence of the excitation sour
ces can be minimised or fully compensated.

In general, the marine diesel engine may influence

the hull with the following:
External unbalanced moments
These can be classified as unbalanced 1st and
2nd order external moments, which need to be
considered only for certain cylinder numbers
Guide force moments
Axial vibrations in the shaft system
Torsional vibrations in the shaft system.

A Combustion pressure
B Guide force
C Staybolt force
D Main bearing force

The external unbalanced moments and guide force

moments are illustrated in Fig. 17.01.01.
In the following, a brief description is given of their
origin and of the proper countermeasures needed
to render them harmless.

1st order moment vertical 1 cycle/rev.

2nd order moment, vertical 2 cycle/rev.

External unbalanced moments

The inertia forces originating from the unbalanced
rotating and reciprocating masses of the engine
create unbalanced external moments although the
external forces are zero.

1st order moment, horizontal

1 cycle/rev.

Of these moments, the 1st order (one cycle per revolution) and the 2nd order (two cycles per revolution)
need to be considered for engines with a low num
ber of cylinders. On 7cylinder engines, also the 4th
order external moment may have to be examined.
The inertia forces on engines with more than 6 cylin
ders tend, more or less, to neutralise themselves.

Guide force moment,

H transverse Z cycles/rev.
Z is 1 or 2 times number of cylinder

Countermeasures have to be taken if hull resonance

occurs in the operating speed range, and if the vibra
tion level leads to higher accelerations and/or veloci
ties than the guidance values given by international
standards or recommendations (for instance related
to special agreement between shipowner and ship
yard). The natural frequency of the hull depends
on the hulls rigidity and distribution of masses,
whereas the vibration level at resonance depends
mainly on the magnitude of the external moment
and the engines position in relation to the vibration
nodes of the ship.

2nd Order Moments on 6cylinder Engines

The 2nd order moment acts only in the vertical
direction. Precautions need only to be considered
for 6-cylinder engines in general.
Resonance with the 2nd order moment may occur in the event of hull vibrations with more than
3 nodes. Contrary to the calculation of natural
frequency with 2 and 3 nodes, the calculation of
the 4 and 5-node natural frequencies for the hull
is a rather comprehensive procedure and often
not very accurate, despite advanced calculation
methods.
A 2nd order moment compensator comprises two
counterrotating masses running at twice the engine speed.

Briefly speaking, solution 1) is applicable if the

node is located far from the engine, or the engine
is positioned more or less between nodes. Solution 2) or 3) should be considered where one of
the engine ends is positioned in a node or close to
it, since a compensator is inefficient in a node or
close to it and therefore superfluous.

Several solutions are available to cope with the

of which the most cost efficient one can be chosen in the individual case, e.g.:

Preparation for compensators

If compensator(s) are initially omitted, the engine
can be delivered prepared for compensators to be
fitted on engine fore end later on, but the decision
to prepare or not must be taken at the contract
stage, option: 4 31 212. Measurements taken during the sea trial, or later in service and with fully
loaded ship, will be able to show if compensator(s)
have to be fitted at all.
If no calculations are available at the contract
stage, we advise to make preparations for the
fitting of a compensator in the steering compartment, see Section 17.03.
Basic design regarding compensators
For 6-cylinder engines with mechanically driven
HPS, the basic design regarding 2nd order moment compensators is:
With compensator aft, EoD: 4 31 203
Prepared for compensator fore, EoD: 4 31 212
For 6-cylinder engines with electrically driven
HPS, the basic design regarding 2nd order moment compensators is:
With electric balancer RotComp, EoD: 4 31 255
Prepared for compensator fore, EoD: 4 31 212
The available options are listed in the Extent of

Electrically Driven Moment Compensator

If it is decided not to use chain driven moment
compensators and, furthermore, not to prepare
the main engine for compensators to be fitted
later, another solution can be used, if annoying
2nd order vibrations should occur: An electrically
driven moment compensator synchronised to the
correct phase relative to the external force or moment can neutralise the excitation.
This type of compensator needs an extra seating
fitted, preferably, in the steering gear room where
vibratory deflections are largest and the effect of
the compensator will therefore be greatest.
The electrically driven compensator will not give
rise to distorting stresses in the hull, but it is more
expensive than the engine-mounted compensators. It does, however, offer several advantages
over the engine mounted solutions:
When placed in the steering gear room, the
compensator is not as sensitive to the positioning of the node as the compensators 2) and 3)
mentioned in Section 17.02.

The decision whether or not to install compensators can be taken at a much later stage of a
project, since no special version of the engine
structure has to be ordered for the installation.
No preparation for a later installation nor an extra chain drive for the compensator on the fore
end of the engine is required. This saves the
cost of such preparation, often left unused.
Compensators could be retrofit, even on ships
in service, and also be applied to engines with a
higher number of cylinders than is normally considered relevant, if found necessary.
The compensator only needs to be active at
speeds critical for the hull girder vibration. Thus,
it may be activated or deactivated at specified
speeds automatically or manually.
Combinations with and without moment compensators are not required in torsional and axial
vibration calculations, since the electrically
driven moment compensator is not part of the
mass-elastic system of the crankshaft.
Furthermore, by using the compensator as a vibration exciter a ships vibration pattern can easily
be identified without having the engine running,
e.g. on newbuildings at an advanced stage of
construction. If it is verified that a ship does not
need the compensator, it can be removed and reused on another ship.
It is a condition for the application of the rotating
force moment compensator that no annoying longitudinal hull girder vibration modes are excited.
Based on our present knowledge, and confirmed
by actual vibration measurements onboard a ship,
we do not expect such problems.

Further to compensating 2nd order moments,

electrically driven moment compensators are also
available for balancing other forces and moments.
The available options are listed in the Extent of

Power Related Unbalance

To evaluate if there is a risk that 1st and 2nd order external moments will excite disturbing hull
vibrations, the concept Power Related Unbalance (PRU) can be used as a guidance, see
Table 17.04.01 below.

Based on service experience from a great number

of large ships with engines of different types and
cylinder numbers, the PRUvalues have been
classified in four groups as follows:
PRU Nm/kW
0 - 60
60 - 120
120 - 220
220 -

Guide Force Moments

The socalled guide force moments are caused
by the transverse reaction forces acting on the
crossheads due to the connecting rod/crankshaft
mechanism. These moments may excite engine
vibrations, moving the engine top athwartships
and causing a rocking (excited by Hmoment) or
twisting (excited by Xmoment) movement of the
engine as illustrated in Fig. 17.05.01.

We recommend using the hydraulic top bracing

which allow adjustment to the loading conditions
of the ship. Mechanical top bracings with stiff
connections are available on request.
With both types of top bracing, the above-mentioned natural frequency will increase to a level
where resonance will occur above the normal engine speed. Details of the top bracings are shown
in Chapter 05.

The guide force moments corresponding to the

MCR rating (L1) are stated in Table 17.07.01.

Definition of Guide Force Moments

Top bracing
The guide force moments are harmless except
when resonance vibrations occur in the engine/
double bottom system.

Over the years it has been discussed how to define the guide force moments. Especially now that
complete FEMmodels are made to predict hull/
engine interaction, the propeller definition of these
moments has become increasingly important.

As this system is very difficult to calculate with the

necessary accuracy, MAN Diesel strongly recommend, as standard, that top bracing is installed
between the engines upper platform brackets
and the casing side.

Htype Guide Force Moment (MH)

The vibration level on the engine when installed in

the vessel must comply with MAN Diesel vibration
limits as stated in Fig. 17.05.02.

Each cylinder unit produces a force couple consisting of:

1. A force at crankshaft level
2. Another force at crosshead guide level. The position of the force changes over one revolution
as the guide shoe reciprocates on the guide.

As the deflection shape for the Htype is equal

for each cylinder, the Nth order Htype guide force
moment for an Ncylinder engine with regular firing order is:

The Xtype guide force moment is then defined

as:

N x MH(one cylinder)

For modelling purpose, the size of the four (4)

forces can be calculated:

MX = BiMoment/L kNm

For modelling purposes, the size of the forces in

the force couple is:

Force = MX /L X [kN]

Force = MH/L [kN]

where:

where L is the distance between crankshaft level

and the middle position of the crosshead guide
(i.e. the length of the connecting rod).

L X is the horizontal length between force points.

As the interaction between engine and hull is at

the engine seating and the top bracing positions,
this force couple may alternatively be applied in
those positions with a vertical distance of (L Z).
Then the force can be calculated as:

Similar to the situation for the Htype guide force

moment, the forces may be applied in positions
suitable for the FEM model of the hull. Thus the
forces may be referred to another vertical level
L Z above the crankshaft centre line. These forces
can be calculated as follows:
M xL
ForceZ, one point = _____
Lxx L
[kN]

ForceZ = MH/L Z [kN]

Any other vertical distance may be applied so as
to accomodate the actual hull (FEM) model.
The force couple may be distributed at any
number of points in the longitudinal direction. A
reasonable way of dividing the couple is by the
number of top bracing and then applying the forces at those points.
ForceZ, one point = ForceZ, total/Ntop bracing, total [kN]
Xtype Guide Force Moment (MX )
The Xtype guide force moment is calculated
based on the same force couple as described
above. However, as the deflection shape is twisting the engine, each cylinder unit does not contribute with an equal amount. The centre units
do not contribute very much whereas the units at
each end contributes much.
A socalled Bimoment can be calculated (Fig.
17.05.01):

In order to calculate the forces, it is necessary

to know the lengths of the connecting rods = L,
which are:

Axial Vibrations
When the crank throw is loaded by the gas pressure
through the connecting rod mechanism, the arms of
the crank throw deflect in the axial direction of the
crankshaft, exciting axial vibrations. Through the thrust
bearing, the system is connected to the ships hull.
Generally, only zeronode axial vibrations are of
interest. Thus the effect of the additional bending
stresses in the crankshaft and possible vibrations of
the ship`s structure due to the reaction force in the
thrust bearing are to be consideraed.
An axial damper is fitted as standard on all engines, minimising the effects of the axial vibrations, EoD: 4 31 111.
Torsional Vibrations
The reciprocating and rotating masses of the engine
including the crankshaft, the thrust shaft, the intermediate shaft(s), the propeller shaft and the propeller
are for calculation purposes considered as a system
of rotating masses (inertias) interconnected by torsional springs. The gas pressure of the engine acts
through the connecting rod mechanism with a varying torque on each crank throw, exciting torsional
vibration in the system with different frequencies.
In general, only torsional vibrations with one and
two nodes need to be considered. The main critical
order, causing the largest extra stresses in the shaft
line, is normally the vibration with order equal to the
number of cylinders, i.e., six cycles per revolution on
a six cylinder engine. This resonance is positioned at
the engine speed corresponding to the natural torsional frequency divided by the number of cylinders.
The torsional vibration conditions may, for certain
installations require a torsional vibration damper, option: 4 31 105.
Plants with 11 or 12 cylinders require a torsional vibration damper.
Based on our statistics, this need may arise for the
following types of installation:
Plants with controllable pitch propeller
Plants with unusual shafting layout and for special
owner/yard requirements
Plants with 8cylinder engines.
MAN B&W K98MC/MC-C/ME/MEC, K90MC-C/ME/MEC,
S80MC, K80MC-C/MEC

The socalled QPT (Quick Passage of a barred speed

range Technique), is an alternative to a torsional
vibration damper, on a plant equipped with a controllable pitch propeller. The QPT could be implemented
in the governor in order to limit the vibratory stresses
during the passage of the barred speed range.
The application of the QPT, option: 4 31 108, has to
be decided by the engine maker and MAN Diesel
based on final torsional vibration calculations.
Sixcylinder engines, require special attention. On
account of the heavy excitation, the natural frequency of the system with one-node vibration should
be situated away from the normal operating speed
range, to avoid its effect. This can be achieved by
changing the masses and/or the stiffness of the
system so as to give a much higher, or much lower,
natural frequency, called undercritical or overcritical
running, respectively.
Owing to the very large variety of possible shafting
arrangements that may be used in combination with
a specific engine, only detailed torsional vibration calculations of the specific plant can determine whether
or not a torsional vibration damper is necessary.
Undercritical running
The natural frequency of the one-node vibration is
so adjusted that resonance with the main critical
order occurs about 3545% above the engine speed
at specified MCR.
Such undercritical conditions can be realised by
choosing a rigid shaft system, leading to a relatively
high natural frequency.
The characteristics of an undercritical system are
normally:
Relatively short shafting system
Probably no tuning wheel
Turning wheel with relatively low inertia
Large diameters of shafting, enabling the use of
shafting material with a moderate ultimate tensile
strength, but requiring careful shaft alignment,
(due to relatively high bending stiffness)
Without barred speed range.

MAN Diesel

198 42 245.3

MAN B&W

17.06
Page 2 of 2

Critical Running
When running undercritical, significant varying
torque at MCR conditions of about 100150% of
the mean torque is to be expected.

Torsional vibrations in overcritical conditions may,

in special cases, have to be eliminated by the use
of a torsional vibration damper.

This torque (propeller torsional amplitude) induces

a significant varying propeller thrust which, under
adverse conditions, might excite annoying longitudinal vibrations on engine/double bottom and/or
deck house.

Overcritical layout is normally applied for engines

with more than four cylinders.

The yard should be aware of this and ensure that

the complete aft body structure of the ship, including the double bottom in the engine room, is
designed to be able to cope with the described
phenomena.

Please note:
We do not include any tuning wheel or torsional
vibration damper in the standard scope of supply,
as the proper countermeasure has to be found after torsional vibration calculations for the specific
plant, and after the decision has been taken if and
where a barred speed range might be acceptable.
For further information about vibration aspects,
please refer to our publications:

Overcritical running
An Introduction to Vibration Aspects
The natural frequency of the onenode vibration
is so adjusted that resonance with the main critical order occurs about 3070% below the engine
speed at specified MCR. Such overcritical conditions can be realised by choosing an elastic
shaft system, leading to a relatively low natural
frequency.

Vibration Characteristics of Two-stroke Engines

The publications are available at
www.mandiesel.com under
Quicklinks Technical Papers

The characteristics of overcritical conditions are:

Tuning wheel may be necessary on crankshaft
fore end
Turning wheel with relatively high inertia
Shafts with relatively small diameters, requiring
shafting material with a relatively high ultimate
tensile strength
With barred speed range, EoD: 4 07 015, of
about 10% with respect to the critical engine
speed.

Monitoring Systems and Instrumentation

The Engine Control System (ECS) can be sup
ported by the computerised PMI system and
the CoCoSEDS online (Computer Controlled
SurveillanceEngine Diagnostics System), both of
which have been in service since 1994.
The monitoring system measures the main para
meters of the engine and makes an evaluation of
the general engine condition, indicating the coun
termeasures to be taken. This ensures that the
engine performance is kept within the prescribed
limits throughout the engines lifetime.
In its basic design the MEengine instrumentation
consists of:
Engine Control System
Shutdown sensors, option: 4 75 124
PMI system type PT/S offline, option: 4 75 208
The optional extras are:
CoCoS system
type EDS online, option: 4 09 660
PMI system, online, option: 4 75 215
As most engines are sold for Unattended Machin
ery Spaces (UMS), the following option is normally
included:
Sensors for alarm, slow down and remote indi
cation according to the classification societys
and MAN Diesels requirements for UMS,
option: 4 75 127, see Section 18.04.
Sensors for CoCoS can be ordered, if required, as
option: 4 75 129. They are listed in Section 18.03.
All instruments are identified by a combination of
symbols and a position number as shown in Sec
tion 18.07.

PMI System, Type PT/S Offline

On the MEengines, the mechanical indicator system is replaced by a Pressure Analyser System
for measurement of the cylinder combustion pressure.
The PMI pressure analyser systems measures the
engines main parameters, such as cylinder pressure, scavenge air pressure, engine speed etc.
enabling the engineer to run the diesel engine at
its optimum performance.
This system gets its data from a high performance
piezoelectric pressure transducer which is to be

mounted on the indicator valve. The transducer

is moved from one cylinder to another in order to
complete measurements on all cylinders.
The crankshaft position is determined by means
of the same trigger system as for the engine control system.
The PMI system compensates automatically for
the twisting experienced by each section of the
crankshaft due to the torque generated at different loads.

Alarm Slow Down and Shut Down System

The shut down system must be electrically separated from other systems by using independent
sensors, or sensors common for the alarm system
but with galvanically separated electrical circuits,
i.e. one sensor with two sets of electrically independent terminals. The list of sensors are shown
in Table 18.04.04.

Alarm, slow down and remote indication sensors

The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) indicates that a common sensor can
be used for alarm, slow down and remote indication.
A general view of the alarm, slow down and shut
down systems is shown in Fig. 18.04.01.

Basic safety system design and supply

The basic safety sensors for a MAN Diesel engine
are designed for Unattended Machinery Space
(UMS) and comprises:

Tables 18.04.02 and 18.04.03 show the requirements by MAN Diesel for alarm and slow down
and for UMS by the classification societies (Class),
as well as IACS recommendations.

the temperature sensors and pressure sensors

that are specified in the MAN Diesel column
for shut down in Table 18.04.04.

The number of sensors to be applied to a specific

plant for UMS is the sum of requirements of the
classification society, the Buyer and MAN Diesel.

These sensors are included in the basic Extent of

Delivery, EOD: 4 75 124.

If further analogue sensors are required, they can

be ordered as option: 4 75 128.

Alarm and slow down system design and supply

Slow down functions

The basic alarm and slow down sensors for a

MAN Diesel engine are designed for Unattended
Machinery Space (UMS) and comprises:

The slow down functions are designed to safeguard the engine components against overloading
during normal service conditions and to keep the
ship manoeuvrable if fault conditions occur.

the sensors for alarm and slow down, option: 4

75 127.
The shut down and slow down panels can be ordered as options: 4 75 610, 4 75 614 or 4 75 615
whereas the alarm panel is yards supply, as it
normally includes several other alarms than those
for the main engine.

The slow down sequence must be adapted to the

actual plant parameters, such as for FPP or CPP,
engine with or without shaft generator, and to the
required operating mode.

For practical reasons, the sensors for the engine

itself are normally delivered from the engine supplier, so they can be wired to terminal boxes on
the engine.
The number and position of the terminal boxes
depends on the degree of dismantling specified in
the Dispatch Pattern for the transportation of the
engine based on the lifting capacities available at
the engine maker and at the yard.

General outline of the electrical system

The figure shows the concept approved by all
classification societies.

One common power supply might be used, instead of the three indicated, provided that the
systems are equipped with separate fuses.

The shut down panel and slow down panel can be

combined for some makers.
The classification societies permit having common sensors for slow down, alarm and remote
indication.

Other Alarm Functions

Drain Box for Fuel Oil Leakage Alarm

Oil Mist Detector

Any leakage from the fuel oil high pressure pipes

of any cylinder is drained to a common drain box
fitted with a level alarm. This is included for both
Attended Machinery Space (AMS) and Unattended Machinery Space (UMS).

The oil mist detector system constantly measures

samples of the atmosphere in the crankcase compartments and registers the results on an optical measuring track, where the opacity (degree
of haziness) is compared with the opacity of the
atmospheric air. If an increased difference is recorded, a slow down is activated (a shut down in
case of Germanischer Lloyd).

Bearing Condition Monitoring

Based on our experience we decided in 1990 that
all plants, whether constructed for AMS or for
UMS, must include an oil mist detector specified
by MAN Diesel. Since then an Oil Mist Detector (OMD) and optionally some extent of Bearing
Temperature Monitoring (BTM) equipment have
made up the warning arrangements for prevention
of crankcase explosions on two-stroke engines.
Both warning systems are approved by the classification societies.
In order to achieve a response to damage faster
than possible with Oil Mist Detection and Bearing
Temperature Monitoring alone we introduce Bearing Wear Monitoring (BWM) systems. By monitoring the actual bearing wear continuously, mechanical damage to the crank-train bearings (main-,
crank- and crosshead bearings) can be predicted
in time to react and avoid damaging the journal
and bearing housing.

Furthermore, for shop trials only MAN Diesel requires that the oil mist detector is connected to
the shut down system.
Four alternative oil mist detectors are available:
4 75 161

Oil mist detector Graviner MK6.

Make: Kidde Fire Protection

4 75 163

Oil mist detector Visatron VN 215/93.

Make: Schaller Automation

4 75 166

Oil mist detector MD-SX.

Make: Daihatsu Diesel Mfg. Co., Ltd.

4 75 167

Oil mist detector Vision III C.

Make: Specs Corporation

Diagrams of the two of them are shown for reference in Figs. 18.06.01a and 18.06.01b.

If the oil supply to a main bearing fails, the bearing

temperature will rise and in such a case a Bearing Temperature Monitoring system will trigger
an alarm before wear actually takes place. For
that reason the ultimate protection against severe
bearing damage and the optimum way of providing early warning, is a combined bearing wear and
temperature monitoring system.
For all types of error situations detected by the
different bearing condition monitoring systems
applies that in addition to damaging the components, in extreme cases, a risk of a crankcase
explosion exists.

Bearing Wear Monitoring System

Bearing Temperature Monitoring System

The Bearing Wear Monitoring (BWM) system monitors all three principal crank-train bearings using
two proximity sensors forward/aft per cylinder
unit and placed inside the frame box.

The Bearing Temperature Monitoring (BTM) system continuously monitors the temperature of the
bearing. Some systems measure the temperature
on the backside of the bearing shell directly, other
systems detect it by sampling a small part of the
return oil from each bearing in the crankcase.

Targeting the guide shoe bottom ends continuously, the sensors measure the distance to the
crosshead in Bottom Dead Center (BDC). Signals
are computed and digitally presented to computer
hardware, from which a useable and easily interpretable interface is presented to the user.
The measuring precision is more than adequate to
obtain an alarm well before steel-to-steel contact
in the bearings occur. Also the long-term stability
of the measurements has shown to be excellent.
In fact, BWM is expected to provide long-term
wear data at better precision and reliability than
the manual vertical clearance measurements normally performed by the crew during regular service checks.
For the above reasons, we consider unscheduled
open-up inspections of the crank-train bearings to
be superfluous, given BWM has been installed.
Two BWM high wear alarm levels including deviation alarm apply. The first level of the high wear /
deviation alarm is indicated in the alarm panel only
while the second level also activates a slow down.
The Extent of Delivery lists four Bearing Wear
Monitoring options of which the two systems from
Dr. E. Horn and Kongsberg Maritime could also
include Bearing Temperature Monitoring:

4 75 144

Bearing Wear Monitoring System PS-10.

Make: Kongsberg Maritime

4 75 147

Bearing Wear Monitoring System OPENpredictor. Make: Rovsing Dynamics

In case a specified temperature is recorded, either

a bearing shell/housing temperature or bearing oil
outlet temperature alarm is triggered.
In main bearings, the shell/housing temperature
or the oil outlet temperature is monitored depending on how the temperature sensor of the BTM
system, option: 4 75 133, is installed.
In crankpin and crosshead bearings, the shell/
housing temperature or the oil outlet temperature
is monitored depending on which BTM system is
installed, options: 4 75 134 or 4 75 135.
For shell/housing temperature in main, crankpin
and crosshead bearings two high temperature
alarm levels apply. The first level alarm is indicated in the alarm panel while the second level
activates a slow down.
For oil outlet temperature in main, crankpin and
crosshead bearings two high temperature alarm
levels including deviation alarm apply. The first
level of the high temperature / deviation alarm is
indicated in the alarm panel while the second level
activates a slow down.
In the Extent of Delivery, there are three options:
4 75 133

Temperature sensors fitted to main bearings

4 75 134

Temperature sensors fitted to main bearings, crankpin bearings, crosshead bearings and for moment compensator, if any

4 75 135

of the above mentioned options could be chosen.

Water In Oil Monitoring System

Liner Wall Monitoring System

In case the lubricating oil becomes contaminated

with an amount of water exceeding our limit of
0.2%, acute corrosive wear of the crosshead bearing overlayer may occur. The higher the water content, the faster the wear rate.

The Liner Wall Monitoring (LWM) system monitors the temperature of each cylinder liner. It is to
be regarded as a tool providing the engine room
crew the possibility to react with appropriate
countermeasures in case the cylinder oil film is
indicating early signs of breakdown.

To prevent water from accumulating in the lube

oil and, thereby, causing damage to the bearings,
the oil should be monitored manually or automatically by means of a Water In Oil (WIO) monitoring
system connected to the engine alarm and monitoring system. In case of water contamination
the source should be found and the equipment
inspected and repaired accordingly.
The WIO system should trigger an alarm when
the water content exceeds 0.2%, and preferably
again when exceeding 0.35% measured as absolute water content.
Some WIO systems measure water activity, ie
the relative availability of water in a substance
expressed in aw on a scale from 0 to 1. Here, 0
indicates oil totally free of water and 1 oil fully
saturated by water. The correlation to absolute
water content in normal running as well as alarm
condition is as follows:
Engine condition
High alarm level
High High alarm level

Abs. water
content, %

Water
activity, aw

0.2
0.35

0.5
0.9

ME, ME-C and ME-GI engines are as standard

specified with Water In Oil monitoring system.
Please note: Corrosion of the overlayer is a potential problem only for crosshead bearings, because
only crosshead bearings are designed with an
overlayer. Main and crankpin bearings may also
suffer irreparable damage from water contamination, but the damage mechanism would be different and not as acute.

MAN B&W ME/MEC/MEGI engines

In doing so, the LWM system can assist the crew

in the recognition phase and help avoid consequential scuffing of the cylinder liner and piston
rings.
Signs of oil film breakdown in a cylinder liner
will appear by way of increased and fluctuating
temperatures. Therefore, recording a preset max
allowable absolute temperature for the individual
cylinder or a max allowed deviation from a calculated average of all sensors will trigger a cylinder
liner temperature alarm.
The LWM system includes two sensors placed in
the manoeuvring and exhaust side of the liners,
near the piston skirt TDC position. The sensors
are interfaced to the ship alarm system which
monitors the liner temperatures.
For each individual engine, the max and deviation
alarm levels are optimised by monitoring the temperature level of each sensor during normal service operation and setting the levels accordingly.
The temperature data is logged on a PC for one
week at least and preferably for the duration of a
round trip for reference of temperature development.
All types 98 and 90 ME and ME-C engines as well
as K80ME-C9 are as standard specified with Liner
Wall Monitoring system. For all other engines, the
LWM system is available as an option: 4 75 136.

Dispatch Pattern, Testing, Spares and Tools

Painting of Main Engine
The painting specification, Section 19.02, indicates
the minimum requirements regarding the quality
and the dry film thickness of the coats of, as well
as the standard colours applied on MAN B&W engines built in accordance with the Copenhagen
standard.
Paints according to builders standard may be
used provided they at least fulfil the requirements
stated.

Note:
Long term preservation and seaworthy packing
are always to be used for class B.
Furthermore, the dispatch patterns are divided
into several degrees of dismantling in which 1
comprises the complete or almost complete engine. Other degrees of dismantling can be agreed
upon in each case.
When determining the degree of dismantling, consideration should be given to the lifting capacities
and number of crane hooks available at the engine
maker and, in particular, at the yard (purchaser).

Dispatch Pattern
The dispatch patterns are divided into two classes, see Section 19.03:
A: Short distance transportation and short term
storage
B: Overseas or long distance transportation or
long term storage.
Short distance transportation (A) is limited by a
duration of a few days from delivery ex works until
installation, or a distance of approximately 1,000
km and short term storage.
The duration from engine delivery until installation
must not exceed 8 weeks.
Dismantling of the engine is limited as much as
possible.
Overseas or long distance transportation or
long term storage require a class B dispatch pattern.
The duration from engine delivery until installation
is assumed to be between 8 weeks and maximum
6 months.
Dismantling is effected to a certain degree with
the aim of reducing the transportation volume of
the individual units to a suitable extent.

MAN B&W MC/MC-C, ME/MEC/MEGI/ME-B engines

The approximate masses of the sections appear

in Section 19.04. The masses can vary up to 10%
depending on the design and options chosen.
Lifting tools and lifting instructions are required
for all levels of dispatch pattern. The lifting tools,
options: 4 12 110 or 4 12 111, are to be specified
when ordering and it should be agreed whether
the tools are to be returned to the engine maker,
option: 4 12 120, or not, option: 4 12 121.
MAN Diesels recommendations for preservation
of disassembled / assembled engines are available on request.
Furthermore, it must be considered whether a
drying machine, option: 4 12 601, is to be installed
during the transportation and/or storage period.
Shop trials/Delivery Test
Before leaving the engine makers works, the engine is to be carefully tested on diesel oil in the
presence of representatives of the yard, the shipowner and the classification society.
The shop trial test is to be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the relevant classification society, however a minimum as stated in
Section 19.05.

MAN Diesels recommendations for shop trial,

quay trial and sea trial are available on request.
In connection with the shop trial test, it is required
to perform a pre-certification survey on engine
plants with FPP or CPP, options: 4 06 060a Engine
test cycle E3 or 4 06 060b Engine test cycle E2
respectively.

The wearing parts that, based on our service

experience, are estimated to be required, are divided into groups and listed with service hours in
Tables 19.08.01 and 19.08.02.
Large spare parts, dimensions and masses
The approximate dimensions and masses of the
larger spare parts are indicated in Section 19.09.
A complete list will be delivered by the engine
maker.

Spare Parts
List of spare parts, unrestricted service
The tendency today is for the classification societies to change their rules such that required spare
parts are changed into recommended spare parts.

Tools

MAN Diesel, however, has decided to keep a set

of spare parts included in the basic extent of delivery, EoD: 4 87 601, covering the requirements
and recommendations of the major classification
societies, see Section 19.06.

The engine is delivered with the necessary special

tools for overhauling purposes. The extent, dimensions and masses of the main tools is stated
in Section 19.10. A complete list will be delivered
by the engine maker.

This amount is to be considered as minimum

safety stock for emergency situations.

Tool Panels

List of standard tools

Most of the tools are arranged on steel plate panels, EoD: 4 88 660, see Section 19.11 Tool Panels.

Additional spare parts recommended by

MAN Diesel
The abovementioned set of spare parts can be
extended with the Additional Spare Parts Recommended by MAN Diesel, option: 4 87 603, which
facilitates maintenance because, in that case, all
the components such as gaskets, sealings, etc.
required for an overhaul will be readily available,
see Section 19.07.

It is recommended to place the panels close to the

location where the overhaul is to be carried out.

Wearing parts
The consumable spare parts for a certain period
are not included in the above mentioned sets, but
can be ordered for the first 1, 2, up to 10 years
service of a new engine, option: 4 87 629, a service year being assumed to be 6,000 running
hours.

Shop Test
Minimum delivery test

EIAPP certificate

The minimum delivery test, EoD: 4 14 001, involves:

All marine engines are required by IMO to have

an Engine International Air Pollution Prevention
(EIAPP) Certificate. Therefore, a pre-certification
survey is to be carried out for all engines according to the performance parameters recorded in
the engines Unified Technical File (UTF), which is
prepared by MAN Diesel.

Starting and manoeuvring test at no load

Load test
Engine to be started and run up to 50% of
Specified MCR (M) in 1 hour
Followed by:

The EIAPP certificate documents that the specific

engine meets the international NOx emission limitations specified in Regulation 13 of MARPOL Annex VI. The basic engine Economy running mode,
EoD: 4 06 060, complies with these limitations.

0.50 hour running at 25% of specified MCR

0.50 hour running at 50% of specified MCR
0.50 hour running at 75% of specified MCR
1.00 hour running at 100% of specified MCR
0.50 hour running at 110% of specified MCR

The pre-certification survey for a Parent or an

Individual engine includes NOx measurements
during the delivery test. For Member engines, a
parameter check according to the UTF for the engine group, based on the delivery test, is needed.

Only for Germanischer Lloyd:

0.75 hour running at 110% of specified MCR
Governor tests, etc:

The tests, if required, are:

Governor test
Minimum speed test
Overspeed test
Shut down test
Starting and reversing test
Turning gear blocking device test
Start, stop and reversing from the Local
Operating Panel (LOP)

E3, marine engine, propeller law for FPP, option:

4 06 060a
or
E2, marine engine, constant speed for CPP, option: 4 06 060b.
For further information and options regarding
shop test, see Extent of Delivery.

Before leaving the factory, the engine is to be

carefully tested on diesel oil in the presence of
representatives of Yard, Shipowner, Classification
Society, and MAN Diesel.
At each load change, all temperature and pressure levels etc. should stabilise before taking new
engine load readings.
Fuel oil analysis is to be presented.
All tests are to be carried out on diesel or gas oil.

Project Support and Documentation

The selection of the ideal propulsion plant for a
specific newbuilding is a comprehensive task.
However, as this selection is a key factor for the
profitability of the ship, it is of the utmost importance for the enduser that the right choice is made.
MAN Diesel is able to provide a wide variety of
support for the shipping and shipbuilding industries all over the world.
The knowledge accumulated over many decades
by MAN Diesel covering such fields as the selection of the best propulsion machinery, optimisation of the engine installation, choice and suitability of a Power Take Off for a specific project,
vibration aspects, environmental control etc., is
available to shipowners, shipbuilders and ship designers alike.
Part of this information can be found in the following documentation:
Installation Drawings
CEAS - Engine Room Dimensioning
Project Guides
Extent of Delivery (EOD)
Technical Papers
The publications are available at:
www.mandiesel.com Marine Low Speed

Engine Selection Guides

The Engine Selection Guides are intended as a
tool to provide assistance at the very initial stage
of the project work. The guides give a general
view of the MAN B&W twostroke Programme for
MC as well as for ME engines and include information on the following subjects:
Engine data
Engine layout and load diagrams
specific fuel oil consumption
Turbocharger selection
Electricity production, including power take off
Installation aspects
Auxiliary systems
Vibration aspects.

MAN B&W MC/MCC, ME/MEC/MEGI/ME-B engines

After selecting the engine type on the basis of

this general information, and after making sure
that the engine fits into the ships design, then a
more detailed project can be carried out based
on the Project Guide for the specific engine type
selected.

Project Guides
For each engine type of MC or ME design a
Project Guide has been prepared, describing the
general technical features of that specific engine
type, and also including some optional features
and equipment.
The information is general, and some deviations
may appear in a final engine documentation, depending on the content specified in the contract
and on the individual licensee supplying the engine. The Project Guides comprise an extension
of the general information in the Engine Selection
Guide, as well as specific information on such
subjects as:
Engine Design
Engine Layout and Load Diagrams, SFOC
Turbocharger Selection & Exhaust Gas Bypass
Electricity Production
Installation Aspects
List of Capacities: Pumps, Coolers & Exhaust Gas
Fuel Oil
Lubricating Oil
Cylinder Lubrication
Piston Rod Stuffing Box Drain Oil
Central Cooling Water System
Seawater Cooling
Starting and Control Air

Extent of Delivery
The Extent of Delivery (EoD) sheets have been
compiled in order to facilitate communication between owner, consultants, yard and engine maker
during the project stage, regarding the scope of
supply and the alternatives (options) available for
MAN B&W twostroke engines.
We provide four different EoDs:
EoD 98 50 MC Type Engine

Description of the Extent of Delivery

The Extent of Delivery (EoD) is the basis for
specifying the scope of supply for a specific order.
The list consists of Basic and Optional items.
The Basic items define the simplest engine, designed for attended machinery space (AMS), without taking into consideration any specific require
ments from the classification society, the yard, the
owner or any specific regulations.
The Options are extra items that can be alternatives
to the Basic, or additional items available to fulfil
the requirements/functions for a specific project.

Installation Documentation
When a final contract is signed, a complete set of
documentation, in the following called Installation
Documentation, will be supplied to the buyer by
the engine maker.
The Installation Documentation is normally divided into the A and B volumes mentioned in
the Extent of Delivery under items:
4 09 602 Volume A:
Mainly comprises general guiding system drawings for the engine room
4 09 603 Volume B:
Mainly comprises specific drawings for the main
engine itself
Most of the documentation in volume A are similar to those contained in the respective Project
Guides, but the Installation Documentation will
only cover the orderrelevant designs. These will
be forwarded within 4 weeks from order.
The engine layout drawings in volume B will, in
each case, be customised according to the buyers requirements and the engine manufacturers
production facilities. The documentation will be
forwarded, as soon as it is ready, normally within
36 months from order.
As MAN Diesel and most of our licensees are using computerised drawings UniGraphics, Cadam
and TIFF format, the documentation forwarded
will normally be in size A4 or A3. The maximum
size available is A1.
The drawings of volume A are available on CD
ROM.
The following list is intended to show an example
of such a set of Installation Documentation, but
the extent may vary from order to order.
