Wärtsilä FAST

upgrade

As a result of the exceptionally low freight rates in recent years, the cost pressure on ship
owners and operators has risen considerably. Cutting operational costs is often the only way
of staying competitive. All ship owners with Wärtsilä 2-stroke engines not yet equipped with
FAST nozzles, should be looking for fuel savings and reduced fouling of the exhaust gas and
piston running components.

Fuel costs make up the biggest share of the operational
costs. Even if a ship owner is chartering out the vessel ∆ - 0.7g/kwh
and the fuel is paid by the charter company, low fuel ∆ - 2.7g/kwh
consumption is a significant benefit, as it makes the vessel
more attractive for the charterer.

∆ - 1.1g/kwh
Unburnt fuel from the sac volume of a classical
∆ - 2.0g/kwh
injector leads to incomplete combustion, which increases
emissions and fuel consumption. This also forms increased
combustion deposits in the exhaust gas system and piston
running components, which may lead to extra maintenance
costs for cleaning or component replacements. 25% 50% 75% 100%

REDUCED FUEL CONSUMPTION AND EMISSIONS


The Fuel Activated Sacless Technology (FAST) reduces the
amount of unburnt fuel and reduces fuel consumption. It
improves the combustion quality significantly and lowers
hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions.

KEY BENEFITS

——Reduced operational costs,


fuel savings of up to 1%
——Reduced maintenance as exhaust
Thanks to a prolonged injector needle and adapted nozzle atomizer,
Wärtsilä FAST upgrade reduces the sac volume by up to 90%. and piston running components remain cleaner
thanks to improved combustion
——Longer time between overhauls for injector nozzle
Thanks to a prolonged injector needle and adapted nozzle Standard nozzle FAST nozzle

atomizer, Wärtsilä FAST upgrade reduces the sac volume


by up to 90%. All fuel per cycle is injected with full injection 3,00

pressure into the cylinder for improved atomization. 2,50


As the amount of unburnt fuel is reduced and the
2,00
injection performance improved, the hydrocarbon and
HC g/kwh

carbon monoxide emissions are significantly reduced. 1,50

Moreover, the fuel consumption at part load is lowered

by up to 1%. It has been proved that the exhaust gas
components and piston running components operated 0,50

with the Wärtsilä FAST upgrade are considerably cleaner 0,00


than those of other engines. 100% 75%
