    SERVICE MITSUI ENGINEERING & SHIPBUILDING CO., LTD.


    NOTE DIESEL TECHNICAL INVASTIGATION GROUP.

    for MITSUI－MAN B & W engines,


    NO.170
    SECTION M. Takahara
    Slide type fuel valve atomizer CHIEF

    CHIEF
    STAFF

    ENGINE TYPE All engine types DATE 2009-08-07

    The slide type fuel valve was introduced on K90MC in 2000. Currently, the slide type
    fuel valve is applied on the large bore engines as standard and the small bore
    engines as an option.

    Since the atomizer of slide type fuel valve requires the heat / corrosion resistance
    and the fatigue resistance, the heat resistance Ni-alloy material (mono-HIP type) was
    applied to the atomizer.

    However, as a very rare case, we have experienced the breakage of atomizer.

    Recently, we have developed the new type atomizer (HIP-compound type) as the
    purpose to increase the fatigue resistance.

    In this connection, we inform you of the caution in use of atomizer for slide type fuel
    valve and the details of new type (HIP-compound type) atomizer in this SERVICE
    NOTE.

    1. Breakage of atomizer

    1) Damaged condition

    We have experienced two kinds of the breakage trouble of atomizer for slide
    type fuel valve as shown in the sketch below.

    a) Breakage which was originated from b)Breakage which was originated


    the corner of injection hole. from the sliding surface.

    Start point of breakage Start point of breakage

    2) Cause of breakage

    a) Breakage which was originated from the corner of injection hole

    Lifetime of conventional type atomizer is 8,000 hours, if exceeds this, the


    atomizer is to be replaced with new one.

    However, the broken atomizer has been used over than 8,000 hours
    operation.

    b) Breakage which was originated from the sliding surface

    Our investigation revealed that the breakage was caused by scratch on


    the sliding surface which was most probably happened during the
    maintenance of atomizer or due to the seizure at the pressure test.

    2. Caution at the maintenance and pressure test for slide type fuel valve

    1) Lifetime of conventional type (mono HIP type) atomizer

    Lifetime of atomizer is 8,000 hours.

    In order to maintain the good function and prevent the damage, the atomizer is
    to be replaced with new one at 8,000 hours.

    SN170
    - 2/7 -
    2) Special attention during the maintenance of atomizer

    During the cleaning of atomizer, we would like to call your attention to the
    following.

    i． Sliding surface (central bore) of atomizer should be cleaned by


    special brass brush to avoid scratching on the sliding surface.

    ii． Spray holes should be cleaned by gas oil and special drill supplied.
    During this operation, be very careful not to push the drill too far to
    avoid scratching on the sliding surface (central bore).

    3) Special attention during the pressure test

    Atomization test may lead to damage (seizure) at the sliding part of spindle
    guide and atomizer because it makes the spindle oscillate, with a small lift and
    a very high frequency due to a rapid oil pressure drop at atomization.
    Accordingly, do not attempt to carry out the atomization test.

    If the injection test is executed with the operation air pressure over the value
    mentioned below, it becomes an atomization test.

    + On a vessel equipped with “NIT156” type pressure test stand :


    Above 0.4MPa(4.0bar)

    + On a vessel equipped with “NIT678” type pressure test stand :


    Above 0.6Mpa(6.0bar)

    3. New type (HIP compound type) atomizer

    As the purpose to increase the fatigue resistance, the HIP compound type
    atomizer, which is made by very strong tool steel with covered by high
    temperature resistant Ni-alloy, has been developed.

    (mono-HIP Type) (HIP-Compound Type )

    4. Lifetime of HIP compound type atomizer

    It is possible to extend the lifetime of HIP-compound type atomizer from 8,000


    hours to 16,000 hours, since the fatigue resistance is improved.

    However, the condition of burning at the tip of atomizer is influenced by the


    operating condition and the property of used fuel oil, etc., and the lifetime of
    atomizer should be judged by the actual condition of burning.

    The TBO (time between overhaul) for the slide type fuel valve is 8,000 hours, at
    which time the condition of atomizer for burning should be carefully inspected.
    The time for replacement of HIP-compound type atomizer can be extended to
    16,000 hours if the clear sign of burning is not observed at 8,000 hours.

    If any sign of burning is observed on the atomizer at 8,000 operating hours,


    please contact to any offices of MES TECHNOSERVICE, in order to judge if the
    atomizer can be further used till 16,000 hours.

    5. Method of distinction between conventional type (mono-HIP type) and
    new type (HIP-compound type) atomizer

    There is a difference of the designation number between the conventional type


    and the new type atomizer.

    So, it can be judged by the designation number as mentioned below.

    (Example of the designation number)

    + Conventional type (mono-HIP Type) ：

    + New type (HIP-Compound Type) ：

    “C” is added for


    HIP-compound type

    Designation number is stamped


    around this area.

    Production number is stamped


    on atomizer manufactured after 2009.

    Moreover, the type of atomizer can be judged by magnet, because the mono-HIP
    type is made by non-magnetized material but the core part of HIP compound type
    is made by the magnetized material (tool steel).
