GenSets
Applications for GenSets vary from auxiliary GenSets, GenSets for diesel
electric propulsion up to offshore applications.
Project specific demands to be clarified at early project stage.

1.2 Engine description MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II

General
1 Introduction
2016-03-01 - 1.1

The MAN L32/44 was designed as a pure auxiliary GenSet engine. The
engine is part load optimized, and usable in ships and offshore applications.
Based on the thousandfold proven MAN 32/40 engine the MAN L32/44
engine offers reliability, economy and ease of maintenance. The MAN L32/44
has more power output than the MAN 32/40CD while lowering fuel con-
sumption significantly in the 40 80 % load range. The engine features varia-

charger of the latest TCR generation. Design index K represents the conven-
tional injection system.

Auxiliary GenSet concept


The diesel engine and the alternator are placed on a common rigid base
frame mounted on the ship's/erection hall's foundation by means of resilient
supports, type conical. Each engine is equipped with an engine driven HT
cooling water pump, an engine driven lube oil pump and an pre lube oil
pump (electrical). The installed, individual HT thermostatic valve (wax type)
regulates the HT cooling water temperature leaving the engine. Lube oil
cooler and oi filter are part of the GenSet front end.

Figure 2: Auxiliary GenSet Principle schema

Fuels
The MAN L32/44 conventional injection system can be operated with MGO
(Class DMA or Class DMZ according to DIN EN 590 and ISO 8217-2010),
MDO (ISO-F-DMB according ISO8217-2010) and HFO (according to
ISO8217-2010) with HFO-viscosities up to 700 cSt at 50 C. The fuel system
is also designed for starting and stopping the engine during HFO operation.

Connecting rod and bearing

1.2 Engine description MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II


The connecting rod has been optimized using newest design tools for lowest
weight and highest durability. Optimized marine head design, with a joint in
the upper shaft area, allows piston overhaul without having to dismantle the
connecting rod bearing.
Our connecting rod bearing shells are known for high reliability.

Cylinder head
The cylinder head has optimised combustion chamber geometry for
improved injection spray atomisation. This ensures balanced air-fuel mixture,
reducing combustion residue, soot formation and improving fuel economy.
High resistance to fatigue, effective heat removal and elimination of very high
ignition pressures results in superb component reliability and long service life.

Valves
The armored exhaust valve seats are designed water cooled, in order to ach-
ieve lower component temperatures. Propellers on the exhaust valve shaft
leads to a rotation of the valves by exhaust gas flow during closing the
valves, thereby a cleaning effect on the valve seats is achieved. Valve rota-
tors known as rotocaps, serve the same purpose at the inlet valve seats.
Thereby the axial movement of the valves is converted into a rotational
movement. Low wear rates and long maintenance intervals result.

Electronics
The MAN L32/44 is equipped with the latest generation of proven MAN Die-
sel & Turbo engine management system. SaCoSone combines all functions
of modern engine management into one complete system. Through integra-
tion on the engine, it forms one unit with the drive assembly.
SaCoSone offers:
Integrated self-diagnosis functions
Maximum reliability and availability
Simple use and diagnosis
Quick exchange of modules (plug in)
Trouble-free and time-saving commissioning
CCM plus OMD
As a standard for all our 4-stroke medium speed engines manufactured
in Augsburg, these engines will be equipped with a Crankcase Monitor-
ing System (CCM = Splash oil & Main bearing temperature) plus OMD
(Oil mist detection). OMD and CCM are integral part of the MAN Diesel &
Turbos safety philosophy and the combination of both will increase the
possibility to early detect a possible engine failure and prevent subse-

quent component damage.

Variable valve timing (VVT)


Variable valve timing enables variations in the opening and closing of the inlet
valves. It can be used to compensate the increase in SFOC associated with
lower NOx emissions. VVT is an enabling technology of variable Miller valve
timing.

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 9 (270)
1 MAN Diesel & Turbo

At high loads a strong Miller effect results in an improvement in the NOx-


1.2 Engine description MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II

SFOC trade-off. At low load the Miller valve timings are reduced to attain
higher combustion temperatures and thus lower soot emissions.

Miller valve timing


To reduce the temperature peaks which promote the formation of NOx, early
closure of the inlet valve causes the charge air to expand and cool before
start of compression. The resulting reduction in combustion temperature
reduces NOx emissions.

Device for variable injection timing (VIT)


The VIT is designed to influence injection timing and thus ignition pressure
and combustion temperature. That enables engine operation in different load
ranges well balanced between low NOx emissions and low fuel consumption.

High efficiency turbochargers


The use of MAN Diesel & Turbo turbochargers equipped with the latest high
efficiency compressor wheels can alleviate the NOx-SFOC trade-off. The
higher pressure ratio increases the efficiency of the engine and thus compen-
sates the increase in SFOC normally associated with lower NOx emissions.
The higher pressure ratio also increases the scope for Miller valve timing.

Sealed Plunger Injection Pumps (SP Injection Pumps)


The MAN 32/44 conventional injection system is equipped with Sealed
Plunger Injection Pumps. SP Injection Pumps have been designed for an
operation with all specified fuels.
Benefit:
+ The fuel and the lube oil within the injection pumps are completely separa-
ted and cannot get in contact with each other, so that the leakage fuel of the
SP Injection Pumps can be completely reused again.
+ For the same reason, there is no need for sealing oil anymore in the case of
continuous MGO-operation.

Committed to the future


Technologies which promise compliance with the IMO Tier III emission limits
valid from 2016 combined with further optimised fuel consumption and new
levels of power and flexibility are already under development at MAN Diesel &
Turbo. With this level of commitment MAN Diesel & Turbo customers can
plan with confidence.

the engine
2.1 Approved applications and destination/suitability of the engine

Approved applications
The MAN L32/44 is designed as an auxiliary GenSet. It has been approved
by type approval as an auxiliary engine by all main classification societies
(ABS, BV,CCS, ClassNK, CR, CRS, DNV, GL, KRS, LR, RINA, RS).
As marine auxiliary engine it may be applied for diesel-electric power genera-
tion1) for auxiliary duties for applications as:
Auxiliary GenSet2)
Note:
The engine is not designed for operation in hazardous areas. It has to be
ensured by the ship's own systems, that the atmosphere of the engine room
is monitored and in case of detecting a gas-containing atmosphere the
engine will be stopped immediately.
1)
See section Engine ratings (output) for different applications, Page 23.
2)
Not used for emergency case or fire fighting purposes.

Offshore
For offshore applications it may be applied as auxiliary engine.
Due to the wide range of possible requirements such as flag state regula-
tions, fire fighting items, redundancy, inclinations and dynamic positioning
modes all project requirements need to be clarified at an early stage.
Note:
The engine is not designed for operation in hazardous areas. It has to be
ensured by the ship's own systems, that the atmosphere of the engine room
is monitored and in case of detecting a gas-containing atmosphere the
engine will be stopped immediately.

Destination/suitability of the engine


Note:
Regardless of their technical capabilities, engines of our design and the
respective vessels in which they are installed must at all times be operated in
line with the legal requirements, as applicable, including such requirements
2 Engine and operation

that may apply in the respective geographical areas in which such engines
are actually being operated.

Operation of the engine outside the specified operated range, not in line with
the media specifications or under specific emergency situations (e.g. sup-
2016-03-01 - 1.1

pressed load reduction or engine stop by active "Override", triggered fire-


fighting system, crash of the vessel, fire or water ingress inside engine room)
is declared as not intended use of the engine (for details see engine specific
operating manuals). If an operation of the engine occurs outside of the scope
of supply of the intended use a thorough check of the engine and its compo-

ice department. These events, the checks and measures need to be docu-
mented.

Electric and electronic components attached to the engine


Required engine room temperature
In general our engine components meet the high requirements of the Marine
Classification Societies. The electronic components are suitable for proper
operation within an air temperature range from 0 C to 55 C. The electrical
equipment is designed for operation at least up to 45 C.
Relevant design criteria for the engine room air temperature:
Minimum air temperature in the area of the engine and its components
5 C.
Maximum air temperature in the area of the engine and its components
45 C.
Note:
Condensation of the air at engine components must be prevented.
Note:
It can be assumed that the air temperature in the area of the engine and
attached components will be 5 10 K above the ambient air temperature
outside the engine room. If the temperature range is not observed, this can
affect or reduce the lifetime of electrical/electronic components at the engine
or the functional capability of engine components. Air temperatures at the
engine > 55 C are not permissible.

Charge air blow-off for If engines are operated at full load at low air intake temperature, the high air
cylinder pressure limitation density leads to the danger of excessive charge air pressure and, conse-
(see flap 2 in figure quently, to excessive cylinder pressure. In order to avoid such conditions,

Temperature after turbine The waste gate is used to by-pass the turbine of the turbocharger with a part
control by continuously of the exhaust gas. This leads to a charge air pressure reduction and the
adjustable waste gate (see temperature after turbine is increased.

ensure its proper performance.
2 Engine and operation

In case the temperature downstream the turbine falls below the set minimum
exhaust gas temperature value, the waste gate is opened gradually in order
to blow-off exhaust gas upstream of the turbine until the exhaust gas tem-
perature downstream of the turbine (and thus upstream of the SCR catalyst)
has reached the required level.

flap will be closed to shut-off the intake air and to stop the engine reliably. A
relief valve upstream of this flap may be applied for release of the com-
pressed air.

Figure 7: Overview flaps

Two-stage charge air cooler The two stage charge air cooler consists of two stages which differ in the
temperature level of the connected water circuits. The charge air is first
cooled by the HT circuit (high temperature stage of the charge air cooler,
engine) and then further cooled down by the LT circuit (low temperature
stage of the charge air cooler, lube oil cooler).
Jet Assist Jet Assist for acceleration of the turbocharger is uesd where special
demands exist regarding fast acceleration and/or load application. In such
cases, compressed air from the starting air vessels is reduced to a pressure
of approximately 4 bar before being passed into the compressor casing of
the turbocharger to be admitted to the compressor wheel via inclined bored
passages. In this way, additional air is supplied to the compressor which in
turn is accelerated, thereby increasing the charge air pressure. Operation of
the accelerating system is initiated by a control, and limited to a fixed load
range.
VIT For some engine types with conventional injection a VIT (Variable Injection
Timing) is available allowing a shifting of injection start. A shifting in the direc-
tion of advanced injection is supposed to increase the ignition pressure and
thus reduces fuel consumption. Shifting in the direction of retarded injection
2 Engine and operation

helps to reduce NOx emissions.


VVT VVT (Variable Valve Timing) enables variations in the opening and closing tim-
ing of the inlet valves. At low load operation it is used to attain higher com-
bustion temperatures and thus lower soot emissions. At higher loads it is
used to attain low combustion temperatures and thus lower NOx emissions

(Miller Valve Timing).


Slow turn Engines, which are equipped with slow turn, are automatically turned prior
to engine start, with the turning process being monitored by the engine con-
trol. If the engine does not reach the expected number of crankshaft revolu-
tions (2.5 revolutions) within a specified period of time, or in case the slow-
turn time is shorter than the programmed minimum slow-turn time, an error

message is issued. This error message serves as an indication that there is

liquid (oil, water, fuel) in the combustion chamber. If the slow-turn manoeuvre
is completed successfully, the engine is started automatically.
Slow turn is always required for plants with power management system
(PMS) demanding automatic engine start.
Oil mist detector Bearing damage, piston seizure and blow-by in combustion chamber leads
to increased oil mist formation. As a part of the safety system the oil mist
detector monitors the oil mist concentration in crankcase to indicate these
failures at an early stage.
Splash oil monitoring The splash oil monitoring system is a constituent part of the safety system.
Sensors are used to monitor the temperature of each individual drive unit (or
pair of drive at V engines) indirectly via splash oil.
Main bearing temperature As an important part of the safety system the temperatures of the crankshaft
monitoring main bearings are measured just underneath the bearing shells in the bearing
caps. This is carried out using oil-tight resistance temperature sensors.
Valve seat lubrication For long-term engine operation (more than 72 hours within a two-week
period [cumulative with distribution as required]) with DM-grade fuel a valve
seat lubrication equipment needs to be attached to the engine. By this
equipment, oil is fed dropwise into the inlet channels and thereby lubricates
the inlet valve seats. This generates a damping effect between the sealing
surfaces of the inlet valves (HFO-operation leads to layers on the sealing sur-
faces of the inlet valves with a sufficient damping effect).
Sealing oil For conventional injection pumps provide a sealing oil supply, in long-term
engine operation (more than 72 hours within a two-week period [cumulative
with distribution as required]) with DM-grade fuel. The low viscosity of DM-
grade fuel can cause an increased leakage inside the conventional injection
pump, that may contaminate the lube oil. The sealing oil avoids effectively
contamination of lube oil by separation of fuel and lube oil side within the
conventional fuel injection pumps (not required for CR injection system).
FAB t.b.d.
Starting system The engine is equipped with compressed air starters, which are attached to

verify above stated figures.
By-pass for emergency operation
Evaluate if the chosen exhaust gas after treatment installation demands a
by-pass for emergency operation.
For scrubber application, a by-pass is recommended to ensure emer-
gency operation in case that the exhaust gas cannot flow through the
scrubber freely.
The by-pass needs to be dimensioned for the same pressure drop as the
main installation that is by-passed otherwise the engine would oper-
ated on a differing operating point with negative influence on the per-
formance, e.g. a lower value of the pressure drop may result in too high
turbocharger speeds.
Single streaming per engine recommended/multi-streaming to be evaluated
project specific
In general each engine must be equipped with a separate exhaust gas
line as single streaming installation. This will prevent reciprocal influencing
of the engine as e.g. exhaust gas backflow into an engine out of opera-
tion or within an engine running at very low load (negative pressure drop
over the cylinder can cause exhaust gas back flow into intake manifold
during valve overlap).
In case a multi-streaming solution is realised (i.e. only one combined
scrubber for multiple engines) this needs to be stated on early project
stage. Hereby air/exhaust gas tight flaps need to be provided to safe-
guard engines out of operation. A specific layout of e.g. sealing air mass
flow will be necessary and also a power management may become nec-
essary in order to prevent operation of several engines at very high loads
while others are running on extremely low load. A detailed analysis as
HAZOP study and risk analysis by the yard becomes mandatory.
Engine to be protected from backflow of media out of exhaust gas after
treatment installation
A backflow of e.g. urea, scrubbing water, condensate or even rain from
the exhaust gas after treatment installation towards the engine must be
prevented under all operating conditions and circumstances, including
engine or equipment shutdown and maintenance/repair work.
Turbine cleaning
Both wet and dry turbine cleaning must be possible without causing mal-
functions or performance deterioration of the exhaust system incl. any
installed components such as boiler, scrubber, silencer, etc.
White exhaust plume by water condensation
2 Engine and operation

When a wet scrubber is in operation, a visible exhaust plume has to be


expected under certain conditions. This is not harmful for the environ-
ment. However, countermeasures like reheating and/or a demister
should be considered to prevent condensed water droplets from leaving
the funnel, which would increase visibility of the plume.
The design of the exhaust system including exhaust gas after treatment
2016-03-01 - 1.1

in order not to sink down directly onboard the vessel or near to the plant.
At the same time the exhaust pressure drop must not exceed the limit
value.

2.6 Low load operation


2.6 Low load operation

Definition
Basically, the following load conditions are distinguished:

Overload: > 100 % of the full load power


Full load: 100 % of the full load power
Part load: < 100 % of the full load power
Low load: < 25 % of the full load power

Correlations The best operating conditions for the engine prevail under even loading in the
range of 60 % to 90 % of full load power.
During idling or engine operation at a low load, combustion in the combus-
tion chamber is incomplete.
This may result in the forming of deposits in the combustion chamber, which
will lead to increased soot emission and to increasing cylinder contamination.
This process is more acute in low load operation and during manoeuvring
when the cooling water temperatures are not kept at the required level, and
are decreasing too rapidly. This may result in too low charge air and com-
bustion chamber temperatures, deteriorating the combustion at low loads
especially in heavy fuel operation.
Operation with heavy fuel oil Based on the above, the low load operation in the range of < 25 % of the full
(fuel of RM quality) or with load is subjected to specific limitations. According to Fig. Time limitations for
MGO (DMA, DMZ) or low load operation (left), duration of "relieving operation" (right), Page 33
MDO(DMB) immediately after a phase of low load operation the engine must be operated
at > 70 % of full load for some time in order to reduce the deposits in the
cylinders and the exhaust gas turbocharger again.
There are no restrictions at loads > 25 % of the full load, provided that
the specified engine operating values are not exceeded.
Continuous operation at < 25 % of the full load should be avoided when-
ever possible.
No-load operation, particularly at nominal speed (alternator operation) is
only permissible for one hour maximum.
After 500 hours of continuous operation with liquid fuel, at a low load in the
range of 20 % to 25 % of the full load, the engine must be run-in again.
See section Engine running in, Page 249.

* Generally, the time limits in heavy fuel oil operation apply to all HFO grades according to the des-
ignated fuel specification. In certain rare cases, when HFO grades with a high ignition delay
together with a high coke residues content are used, it may be necessary to raise the total level
of the limiting curve for HFO from 20% up to 30%.

2.7 Start up and load application

2.7.1 General remarks


In the case of highly supercharged engines, load application is limited. This is
due to the fact that the charge-air pressure build-up is delayed by the turbo-
charger run-up. Besides, a low load application promotes uniform heating of
the engine.
In general, requirements of the International Association of Classification
Societies (IACS) and of ISO 8528-5 are valid.
According to performance grade G2 concerning:
Dynamic speed drop in % of the nominal speed 10 %
Remaining speed variation in % of the nominal speed: 5 %
Recovery time until reaching the tolerance band 1 % of nominal speed:
5 seconds
Clarify any higher project-specific requirements at an early project stage with
MAN Diesel & Turbo. They must be part of the contract.
In a load drop of 100 % nominal engine power, the dynamic speed variation
must not exceed:
10 % of the nominal speed
the remaining speed variation must not surpass 5 % of the nominal
speed
To limit the effort regarding regulating the media circuits, also to ensure an
uniform heat input it always should be aimed for longer load application times
by taking into account the realistic requirements of the specific plant.
All questions regarding the dynamic behaviour should be clarified in close
cooperation between the customer and MAN Diesel & Turbo at an early
project stage.
Requirements for plant design:
The load application behaviour must be considered in the electrical sys-
tem design of the plant.
The system operation must be safe in case of graduated load applica-
tion.
2 Engine and operation

The load application conditions (E-balance) must be approved during the


planning and examination phase.
The possible failure of one engine must be considered, see section Gen-
erator operation/electric propulsion Power management, Page 50.

2.7.2 Start up time


General remark Prior to the start up of the engine it must be ensured that the emergency
stop of the engine is working properly. Additionally all required supply sys-
tems must be in operation or in standby operation.
Start up Preheated engine For the start up of the engine it needs to be preheated:

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 35 (270)
2 MAN Diesel & Turbo

Lube oil temperature 40 C


2.7 Start up and load application

Cooling water temperature 60 C


The required start up time in normal starting mode (preheated engine), with
the required time for start up lube oil system and prelubrication of the engine
is shown in figure below.
Start up Cold engine In case of emergency, it is possible to start the cold engine provided the
required media temperatures are present:
Lube oil > 20 C, cooling water > 20 C.
Distillate fuel must be used until warming up phase is completed.
The engine is prelubricated. Due to the higher viscosity of the lube oil of a
cold engine the prelubrication phase needs to be increased.
The engine is started and accelerated up to 100 % engine speed within
1 3 minutes.
Before further use of the engine a warming up phase is required to reach at
least the level of the regular preheating temperatures (lube oil temperature
> 40 C, cooling water temperature > 60 C), see figure below.

according to following figure. Be aware that this is near to the maximum
capability of the engine, so exhaust gas will be visible (opacity > 60 %). The
shortest possible run up time can only be achieved with Jet Assist.
Note:
Emergency start up only can be applied if following is provided:

General remark Relevance of the specific starting phases depends on the application and on
layout of the specific plant.
Specified minimum run up time is based on the value "Required minimum
total moment of inertia" in the table Moments of inertia for GenSets, Page
85. If the moment of inertia of the GenSet is higher as the stated value in
that table, then also the run-up time is extended accordingly.

2.7.3 Load application Cold engine (emergency case)


Cold engine Warming up If the cold engine has been started and runs at nominal speed as prescribed
following procedure is relevant:
Distillate fuel must be used until warming up phase is completed.
Loading the engine gradually up to 30 % engine load within 6 to 8
minutes.
Keep the load at 30 % during the warming up phase until oil temperature
> 40 C and cooling water temperature > 60 C are reached.
2 Engine and operation

The necessary time span for this process depends on the actual media tem-
peratures and the specific design of the plant. After these prescribed media
temperatures are reached the engine can be loaded up according the dia-
gram for a preheated engine.

2.7.4 Load application for electric propulsion/auxiliary GenSet


Load application Preheated In general it is recommended to apply the load according to curve "Normal
engine loading" see figure below. This ensures uniform heat input to the engine
and exhaust gas below the limit of visibility (opacity below 10 %). Jet Assist is
not required in this case.
Load application Engine at Even after the engine has reached normal engine operating temperatures it is
normal operating recommended to apply the load according to curve "Normal loading". Jet
temperatures Assist is not required in this case. Even for "Short loading" no Jet Assist is
required. Load application according the "Short loading" curve may be affec-
ted by visible exhaust gas (opacity up to 30 %).
Emergency loading "Emergency loading" is the shortest possible load application time for contin-
Preheated engine uously loading, applicable only in emergency case.
Note:
Stated load application times within figure Load application, Page 40 valid
after nominal speed is reached and synchronisation is done.
2 Engine and operation

For this purpose, the power management system should have an own emer-
gency operation programme for quickest possible load application. Be aware
that this is near to the maximum capability of the engine, so exhaust gas will
be visible . The shortest possible load application time can only be achieved
with Jet Assist.

2.7.5 Load application Load steps (for electric propulsion/auxiliary GenSet)

Minimum requirements of The specification of the IACS (Unified Requirement M3) contains first of all
classification societies and guidelines for suddenly applied load steps. Originally two load steps, each
ISO rule 50 %, were described. In view of the technical progress regarding increasing
mean effective pressures, the requirements were adapted. According to
IACS and ISO 8528-5 following diagram is used to define based on the
mean effective pressure of the respective engine the load steps for a load
application from 0 % load to 100 % load. This diagram serves as a guideline
2 Engine and operation

for four stroke engines in general and is reflected in the rules of the classifica-
tion societies.
Please be aware, that for marine engines load application requirements must
be clarified with the respective classification society as well as with the ship-
yard and the owner.

plant.
Before final engine stop the engine has to be operated for a minimum of
1 min. at idling speed.

Run-down cooling
In order to dissipate the residual engine heat, the system circuits should be

2 Engine and operation

Requirements for the power management system/propeller control


In case of a load reduction request due to predefined abnormal engine
parameter (e.g. high exhaust gas temperature, high turbine speed, high lube
oil temperature) the power output (load) must be ramped down as fast as
possible to 60 % load.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Therefore the power management system/propeller control has to meet the


following requirements:
After a maximum of 5 seconds after occurrence of the load reduction
signal, the engine load must be reduced by at least 5 %.
Then, within the next time period of maximum 30 sec. an additional
reduction of engine load by at least 35 % needs to be applied.

2.10 Engine operation under arctic conditions

Arctic condition is defined as:


Air intake temperatures of the engine below +5 C
If engines operate under arctic conditions (intermittently or permanently), the
engine equipment and plant installation have to hold certain design features
and meet special requirements. They depend on the possible minimum air
intake temperature of the engine and the specification of the fuel used.

missible viscosity before engine have to be kept.
Fuel injection pump with sealing oil
The low viscosity of the arctic fuel can cause an increased leakage
inside conventional injection pumps, that may contaminate the lube
oil. Therefore sealing oil needs to be installed at the engine and must
be activated (dependent on engine type).
Fuel injection valve
Switch off nozzle cooling to avoid corrosion caused by temperatures
below the dew point.
Valve seat lubrication
Has to be equipped to the engine and to be activated to avoid
increased wear of the inlet valves (dependent on engine type).

Engine equipment
SaCoSone SaCoSone equipment is suitable to be stored at minimum ambient tem-
peratures of 15 C.
In case these conditions cannot be met, protective measures against cli-
matic influences have to be taken for the following electronic compo-
nents:
EDS Databox APC620
TFT-touchscreen
Emergency switch module BD5937
These components have to be stored at places, where the temperature
is above 15 C.
A minimum operating temperature of 0 C has to be ensured. The use
of an optional electric heating is recommended.

Alternators
Alternator operation is possible according to suppliers specification.

Plant installation
Intake air conditioning Air intake of the engine and power house/engine room ventilation have to
be two different systems to ensure that the power house/engine room
temperature is not too low caused by the ambient air temperature.
It is necessary to ensure that the charge air cooler cannot freeze when
2 Engine and operation

the engine is out of operation (and the cold air is at the air inlet side).

No additional actions are necessary. The charge air before the cylinder is
preheated by the HT circuit of the charge air cooler (LT circuit closed).
Category C
2016-03-01 - 1.1

An air intake temperature 35 C has to be ensured by preheating.


Additionally the charge air before the cylinder is preheated by the HT cir-
cuit of the charge air cooler (LT circuit closed).

An increasing proportion of antifreeze decreases the specific heat
capacity of the engine cooling water, which worsens the heat dissipation
from the engine and will lead to higher component temperatures.
The antifreeze concentration of the engine cooling water systems (HT
and NT) within the engine room respectively power house is therefore
limited to a maximum concentration of 40 % glycol. For systems that
require more than 40 % glycol in the cooling water an intermediate heat
exchanger with a low terminal temperature difference should be provi-
ded, which separates the external cooling water system from the internal
system (engine cooling water).
If a concentration of anti-freezing agents of > 50 % in the cooling water
systems is required, contact MAN Diesel & Turbo for approval.
For information regarding engine cooling water see section Specification
for engine supplies, Page 109.
Insulation The design of the insulation of the piping systems and other plant parts
(tanks, heat exchanger etc.) has to be modified and designed for the special
requirements of arctic conditions.
Heat tracing To support the restart procedures in cold condition (e.g. after unmanned sur-
2 Engine and operation

vival mode during winter), it is recommended to install a heat tracing system


in the pipelines to the engine.
Note:
A preheating of the lube oil has to be ensured. If the plant is not equipped
with a lube oil separator (e.g. plants only operating on MGO) alternative
2016-03-01 - 1.1

equipment for preheating of the lube oil must be provided.


For plants taken out of operation and cooled down below temperatures of

Minimum load

2.10 Engine operation under arctic conditions


The minimum engine load corresponds to the current intake air temperature
at compressor inlet (TC) and prevents too high heat loss and the resulting
risk of engine damage.
After engine start it is necessary to ramp up the engine to the below speci-
fied minimum engine load. Thereby Range I and Range II must be passed as
quick as possible to reach Range III. Be aware that within Range III low load
operation restrictions may apply.
All preheaters need to be operated in parallel to engine operation during
startup until minimum engine load is reached to ensure at least the standby
conditions of the media temperatures.

2.11.2 Available outputs and permissible frequency deviations

General
Generating sets, which are integrated in an electricity supply system, are
subjected to the frequency fluctuations of the mains. Depending on the
severity of the frequency fluctuations, output and operation respectively have
to be restricted.

Frequency adjustment range


According to DIN ISO 8528-5: 1997-11, operating limits of > 2.5 % are
specified for the lower and upper frequency adjustment range.

Operating range
Depending on the prevailing local ambient conditions, a certain maximum
continuous rating will be available.
In the output/speed and frequency diagrams, a range has specifically been
marked with No continuous operation permissible in this area. Operation in
this range is only permissible for a short period of time, i.e. for less than 2
minutes. In special cases, a continuous rating is permissible if the standard
frequency is exceeded by more than 4 %.

Limiting parameters
Max. torque In case the frequency decreases, the available output is limited by the maxi-
mum permissible torque of the generating set.
Max. speed for continuous An increase in frequency, resulting in a speed that is higher than the maxi-
rating mum speed admissible for continuous operation, is only permissible for a
short period of time, i.e. for less than 2 minutes.

2.11.3 Generator operation/electric propulsion Power management

Operation of vessels with electric propulsion is defined as parallel operation


of main engines with generators forming a closed system.
The power supply of the plant as a standard is done by auxilliary GenSets
also forming a closed system.
In the design/layout of the plant a possible failure of one engine has to be
considered in order to avoid overloading and under-frequency of the remain-
ing engines with the risk of an electrical blackout.
Therefore we recommend to install a power management system. This
ensures uninterrupted operation in the maximum output range and in case
one engine fails the power management system reduces the propulsive out-
put or switches off less important energy consumers in order to avoid under-
frequency.
According to the operating conditions it is the responsibility of the ship's
operator to set priorities and to decide which energy consumer has to be
switched off.
The base load should be chosen as high as possible to achieve an optimum
engine operation and lowest soot emissions.
The optimum operating range and the permissible part loads are to be
2 Engine and operation

observed (see section Low load operation, Page 33).

Load application in case one engine fails


In case one engine fails, its output has to be made up for by the remaining
engines in the system and/or the load has to be decreased by reducing the
2016-03-01 - 1.1

propulsive output and/or by switching off electrical consumers.


The immediate load transfer to one engine does not always correspond with
the load reserve that the particular engine has available at the respective
moment. That depends on the engine's base load.

2.11.4 Alternator Reverse power protection

Definition of reverse power


If an alternator, coupled to a combustion engine, is no longer driven by this
engine, but is supplied with propulsive power by the connected electric grid
2 Engine and operation

and operates as an electric motor instead of working as an alternator, this is


called reverse power. The speed of a reverse power driven engine is accord-
ingly to the grid frequency and the rated engine speed.

Demand for reverse power protection


2016-03-01 - 1.1

For each alternator (arranged for parallel operation) a reverse power protec-
tion device has to be provided because if a stopped combustion engine (fuel
admission at zero) is being turned it can cause, due to poor lubrication,
excessive wear on the engines bearings. This is also a classifications
requirement.

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 51 (270)
2 MAN Diesel & Turbo

Examples for possible reverse power occurences


2.11 GenSet operation

Due to lack of fuel the combustion engine no longer drives the alternator,
which is still connected to the mains.
Stopping of the combustion engine while the driven alternator is still con-
nected to the electric grid.
On ships with electric drive the propeller can also drive the electric trac-
tion motor and this in turn drives the alternator and the alternator drives
the connected combustion engine.
Sudden frequency increase, e.g. because of a load decrease in an isola-
ted electrical system -> if the combustion engine is operated at low load
(e.g. just after synchronising).

Adjusting the reverse power protection relay


The necessary power to drive an unfired diesel or gas engine at nominal
speed cannot exceed the power which is necessary to overcome the internal
friction of the engine. This power is called motoring power. The setting of the
reverse-power relay should be, as stated in the classification rules, 50 % of
the motoring power. To avoid false tripping of the alternator circuit breaker a
time delay has to be implemented. A reverse power >> 6 % mostly indicates
serious disturbances in the generator operation.
Table Adjusting the reverse power relay, Page 52 below provides a sum-
mary.

2.11.5 Earthing measures of diesel engines and bearing insulation on alternators

General
The use of electrical equipment on diesel engines requires precautions to be
taken for protection against shock current and for equipotential bonding.
These measures not only serve as shock protection but also for functional
protection of electric and electronic devices (EMC protection, device protec-
2 Engine and operation

tion in case of welding, etc.).

Earthing connections on the engine


Threaded bores M12, 20 mm deep, marked with the earthing symbol are
2016-03-01 - 1.1

provided in the engine foot on both ends of the engine.


It has to be ensured that earthing is carried out immediately after engine set-
up. If this cannot be accomplished any other way, at least provisional earth-
ing is to be effected right after engine set-up.

Measures to be taken on the alternator


Shaft voltages, i.e. voltages between the two shaft ends, are generated in
electrical machines because of slight magnetic unbalances and ring excita-
tions. In the case of considerable shaft voltages (e.g. > 0.3 V), there is the
risk that bearing damage occurs due to current transfers. For this reason, at
least the bearing that is not located on the drive end is insulated (valid for
alternators > 1 MW output). For verification, the voltage available at the shaft
(shaft voltage) is measured while the alternator is running and excited. With
proper insulation, a voltage can be measured. In order to protect the prime
mover and to divert electrostatic charging, an earthing brush is often fitted on
the coupling side.
Observation of the required measures is the alternator manufacturers
responsibility.

Consequences of inadequate bearing insulation on the alternator and


insulation check
2 Engine and operation

In case the bearing insulation is inadequate, e.g., if the bearing insulation was
short-circuited by a measuring lead (PT100, vibration sensor), leakage cur-
rents may occur, which result in the destruction of the bearings. One possi-
bility to check the insulation with the alternator at standstill (prior to coupling
the alternator to the engine; this, however, is only possible in the case of sin-
gle-bearing alternators) would be:
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Raise the alternator rotor (insulated, in the crane) on the coupling side.
Measure the insulation by means of the megger test against earth.
Note:
Hereby the max. voltage permitted by the alternator manufacturer is to be
observed.

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 53 (270)
2 MAN Diesel & Turbo

If the shaft voltage of the alternator at rated speed and rated voltage is
2.12 Fuel oil, lube oil, starting air and control air con-
sumption

known (e.g. from the test record of the alternator acceptance test), it is also
possible to carry out a comparative measurement.
If the measured shaft voltage is lower than the result of the earlier measure-
ment (test record), the alternator manufacturer should be consulted.

Earthing conductor
The nominal cross section of the earthing conductor (equipotential bonding
conductor) has to be selected in accordance with DIN VDE 0100, part 540
(up to 1 kV) or DIN VDE 0141 (in excess of 1 kV).
Generally, the following applies:
The protective conductor to be assigned to the largest main conductor is to
be taken as a basis for sizing the cross sections of the equipotential bonding
conductors.
Flexible conductors have to be used for the connection of resiliently mounted
engines.

Execution of earthing
The earthing must be executed by the shipyard respectively plant owner,
since generally it is not scope of supply of MAN Diesel & Turbo.
Earthing strips are not included in the MAN Diesel & Turbo scope of supply.

Additional information regarding the use of welding equipment


In order to prevent damage on electrical components, it is imperative to earth
welding equipment close to the welding area, i.e., the distance between the
welding electrode and the earthing connection should not exceed 10 m.

1)
The air consumption per starting manoeuvre/slow turn activation depends on the inertia moment of the unit. The
stated air consumption refers only to the engine. For the electric propulsion an higher air consumption needs to be
considered due to the additional inertia moment of the generator (approximately increased by 50 %).
2)
Nm3 corresponds to one cubic meter of gas at 0 C and 101.32 kPa.
3)
The above-mentioned air consumption per Jet Assist activation is valid for a jet duration of 5 seconds. The jet dura-
tion may vary between 3 sec. and 10 sec., depending on the loading (average jet duration 5 sec.).
4)
Required for plants with Power Management System demanding automatic engine start. The air consumption per
slow turn activation depends on the inertia moment of the unit. This value does not include air consumption required
for the automically activated engine start after the end of the slow turn manoeuvre.

2.12.4 Recalculation of fuel consumption dependent on ambient conditions

In accordance to ISO standard ISO 3046-1:2002 "Reciprocating internal


combustion engines Performance, Part 1: Declarations of power, fuel and
lube oil consumptions, and test methods Additional requirements for
engines for general use" MAN Diesel & Turbo has specified the method for
recalculation of fuel consumption for liquid fuel dependent on ambient condi-
tions for single-stage turbocharged engines as follows:

= 1 + 0.0006 x (tx tr) + 0.0004 x (tbax tbar) + 0.07 x (pr px)

The formula is valid within the following limits:

76 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 2

Among all internal combustion engines the diesel engine has the lowest spe-

2.19 Noise
cific CO2 emission based on the same fuel quality, due to its superior effi-
ciency.

Sulphur oxides SOx


Sulphur oxides (SOx) are formed by the combustion of the sulphur contained
in the fuel.
Among all systems the diesel process results in the lowest specific SOx emis-
sion based on the same fuel quality, due to its superior efficiency.

Nitrogen oxides NOx (NO + NO2)


The high temperatures prevailing in the combustion chamber of an internal
combustion engine cause the chemical reaction of nitrogen (contained in the
combustion air as well as in some fuel grades) and oxygen (contained in the
combustion air) to nitrogen oxides (NOx).

Carbon monoxide CO
Carbon monoxide (CO) is formed during incomplete combustion.
In MAN Diesel & Turbo four-stroke diesel engines, optimisation of mixture
formation and turbocharging process successfully reduces the CO content of
the exhaust gas to a very low level.

Hydrocarbons HC
The hydrocarbons (HC) contained in the exhaust gas are composed of a
multitude of various organic compounds as a result of incomplete combus-
tion.
Due to the efficient combustion process, the HC content of exhaust gas of
MAN Diesel & Turbo four-stroke diesel engines is at a very low level.

Particulate matter PM
Particulate matter (PM) consists of soot (elemental carbon) and ash.

2.19.5 Noise and vibration Impact on foundation

Noise and vibration is emitted by the engine to the surrounding (see figure
Noise and vibration Impact on foundation, Page 82). The engine impact
2016-03-01 - 1.1

transferred through the engine mounting to the foundation is focussed sub-


sequently.

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 81 (270)
2 MAN Diesel & Turbo
2.19 Noise

Figure 32: Noise and vibration Impact on foundation


The foundation is excited to vibrations in a wide frequency range by the
engine and by auxiliary equipment (from engine or plant). The engine is
vibrating as a rigid body. Additionally, elastic engine vibrations are superim-
posed. Elastic vibrations are either of global (e.g. complete engine bending)
or local (e.g. bending engine foot) character. If the higher frequency range is
involved, the term "structure borne noise" is used instead of "vibrations".
Mechanical engine vibrations are mainly caused by mass forces of moved
drive train components and by gas forces of the combustion process. For
structure borne noise, further excitations are relevant as well, e.g. impacts
from piston stroke and valve seating, impulsive gas force components, alter-
nating gear train meshing forces and excitations from pumps.
For the analysis of the engine noise- and vibration-impact on the surround-
ing, the complete system with engine, engine mounting, foundation and plant
has to be considered.
Engine related noise and vibration reduction measures cover e.g. counterbal-
ance weights, balancing, crankshaft design with firing sequence, component
2 Engine and operation

design etc. The remaining, inevitable engine excitation is transmitted to the


surrounding of the engine but not completely in case of a resilient engine
mounting, which is chosen according to the application-specific require-
ments. The resilient mounting isolates engine noise and vibration from its sur-
rounding to a large extend. Hence, the transmitted forces are considerably
reduced compared with a rigid mounting. Nevertheless, the engine itself is
2016-03-01 - 1.1

vibrating stronger in the low frequency range in general especially when


driving through mounting resonances.
In order to avoid resonances, it must be ensured that eigenfrequencies of
foundation and coupled plant structures have a sufficient safety margin in
relation to the engine excitations. Moreover, the foundation has to be
designed as stiff as possible in all directions at the connections to the engine.

82 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 2

Thus, the foundation mobility (measured according to ISO 7262) has to be as

2.19 Noise
low as possible to ensure low structure borne noise levels. For low frequen-
cies, the global connection of the foundation with the plant is focused for that
matter. The dynamic vibration behaviour of the foundation is mostly essential
for the mid frequency range. In the high frequency range, the foundation
elasticity is mainly influenced by the local design at the engine mounts. E.g.
for steel foundations, sufficient wall thicknesses and stiffening ribs at the con-
nection positions shall be provided. The dimensioning of the engine founda-
tion also has to be adjusted to other parts of the plant. For instance, it has to
be avoided that engine vibrations are amplified by alternator foundation vibra-
tions. Due to the scope of supply, the foundation design and its connection
with the plant is mostly within the responsibility of the costumer. Therefore,
the customer is responsible to involve MAN Diesel & Turbo for consultancy in
case of system-related questions with interaction of engine, foundation and
plant. The following information is available for MAN Diesel & Turbo custom-
ers, some on special request:
Residual external forces and couples (Project Guide)
Resulting from the summation of all mass forces from the moving drive
train components. All engine components are considered rigidly in the
calculation. The residual external forces and couples are only transferred
completely to the foundation in case of a rigid mounting, see above.
Static torque fluctuation (Project Guide)
Static torque fluctuations result from the summation of gas and mass
forces acting on the crank drive. All components are considered rigidly in
the calculation. These couples are acting on the foundation dependent
on the applied engine mounting, see above.
Mounting forces (project-specific)
The mounting dimensioning calculation is specific to a project and
defines details of the engine mounting. Mounting forces acting on the
foundation are part of the calculation results. Gas and mass forces are
considered for the excitation. The engine is considered as one rigid body
with elastic mounts. Thus, elastic engine vibrations are not implemented.
Reference measurements for engine crankcase vibrations according to
ISO 108166 (project-specific)
Reference testbed measurements for structure borne noise (project-spe-
cific)
Measuring points are positioned according to ISO 13332 on the engine
feet above and below the mounting elements. Structure borne noise lev-
els above elastic mounts mainly depend on the engine itself. Whereas
structure borne noise levels below elastic mounts strongly depend on the
foundation design. A direct transfer of the results from the testbed foun-
dation to the plant foundation is not easily possible even with the con-
2 Engine and operation

sideration of testbed mobilities. The results of testbed foundation mobility


measurements according to ISO 7626 are available as a reference on
request as well.
Dynamic transfer stiffness properties of resilient mounts (supplier infor-
mation, project-specific)
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Beside the described interaction of engine, foundation and plant with transfer
through the engine mounting to the foundation, additional transfer paths
need to be considered. For instance with focus on the elastic coupling of the
drive train, the exhaust pipe, other pipes and supports etc. Besides the
engine, other sources of noise and vibration need to be considered as well
(e.g. auxiliary equipment, propeller, thruster).

Note:
Changes may be necessary as a result of the torsional vibration calculation

Note:
Masses which are connected downstream of the engine in the case of an
overhung or rigidly coupled, arrangement result in additional crankshaft
bending stress, which is mirrored in a measured web deflection during
engine installation.
Provided the limit values for the masses to be coupled downstream of the
engine (permissible values for Mmax and F1max) are complied with, the permit-
ted web deflections will not be exceeded during assembly.
Observing these values ensures a sufficiently long operating time before a

2.21.3 Static torque fluctuation

General
The static torque fluctuation is the summation of the torques acting at all
cranks around the crankshaft axis taking into account the correct phase-
angles. These torques are created by the gas and mass forces acting at the
crankpins, with the crank radius being used as the lever. An rigid crankshaft
is assumed.
The values Tmax. and Tmin. listed in the following table(s) represent a measure
for the reaction forces of the engine. The reaction forces generated by the
torque fluctuation are dependent on speed and cylinder number and give a
contribution to the excitations transmitted into the foundation see figure
Static torque fluctuation, Page 88 and the table(s) in this section. Accord-
ing to different mountings these forces are reduced.
In order to avoid local vibration excitations in the vessel, it must be ensured
that the natural frequencies of important part structures (e.g. panels, bulk-
heads, tank walls and decks, equipment and its foundation, pipe systems)
have a sufficient safety margin (if possible 30 %) in relation to all engine
excitation frequencies. 2 Engine and operation

Resilient mounting of GenSets


2016-03-01 - 1.1

On resilient mounted GenSets, the diesel engine and the alternator are
placed on a common rigid base frame mounted on the ship's/erection hall's
foundation by means of resilient supports, type conical.
All connections from the GenSet to the external systems should be equipped
with flexible connections, and pipes, gangway etc. must not be welded to
the external part of the installation.

90 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 2

Resilient support

2.23 Foundation
A resilient mounting of the GenSet is made with a number of conical mount-
ings. The number and the distance between them depend on the size of the
plant. These conical mountings are bolted to brackets on the base frame see
figure Resilient mounting of GenSets, Page 91.
The setting from unloaded to loaded condition is normally between 5 11
mm for the conical mounting.
The exact setting can be found in the calculation of the conical mountings for
the plant in question. The support of the individual conical mounting can be
made in one of the following three ways:
1. The support between the foundation and the base casting of the conical
mounting is made with a loose steel shim. This steel shim is machined to
an exact thickness (min. 40 mm) for each individual conical mounting.
2. The support can also be made by means of two steel shims, at the top a
loose shim of at least 40 mm and below a shim of approximately 10 mm
which are machined for each conical mounting and then welded to the
foundation.
3. Finally, the support can be made by means of chockfast. It is recommen-
ded to use two steel shims, the top shim should be loose and have a
minimum thickness of 40 mm, the bottom shim should be cast in chock-
fast with a thickness of at least 10 mm.

Figure 38: Resilient mounting of GenSets

Irrespective of the method of support, it is recommended to use a loose steel


shim to facilitate a possible future replacement of the conical mountings.
2 Engine and operation

Check of crankshaft deflection


The resilient mounted GenSet is normally delivered from the factory with
engine and alternator mounted on the common base frame. Eventhough
engine and alternator have been adjusted by the engine builder, with the
2016-03-01 - 1.1

alternator rotor placed correctly in the stator and the crankshaft deflection of
the engine (autolog) within the prescribed tolerances, it is recommended to
check the crankshaft deflection (autolog) before starting up the GenSet.

2.23.2 General requirements for engine foundation

Plate thicknesses
2 Engine and operation

The stated material dimensions are recommendations, calculated for steel


plates. Thicknesses smaller than these are not permissible. When using other
materials (e.g. aluminium), a sufficient margin has to be added.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Top plates
Before or after having been welded in place, the bearing surfaces should be
machined and freed from rolling scale. Surface finish corresponding to Ra
3.2 peak-to-valley roughness in the area of the chocks shall be accom-
plished.
The thickness given is the finished size after machining.

Downward inclination outwards, not exceeding 0.7 %.

2.23 Foundation
Prior to fitting the chocks, clean the bearing surfaces from dirt and rust that
may have formed: After the drilling of the foundation bolt holes, spotface the
lower contact face normal to the bolt hole.

Foundation girders
The distance of the inner girders must be observed. We recommend that the
distance of the outer girders (only required for larger types) is observed as
well.
The girders must be aligned exactly above and underneath the tank top.

Floor plates
No manholes are permitted in the floor plates in the area of the box-shaped
foundation. Welding is to be carried out through the manholes in the outer
girders.

Top plate supporting


Provide support in the area of the frames from the nearest girder below.

Dynamic foundation requirements


The eigenfrequencies of the foundation and the supporting structures,
including GenSet weight (without engine) shall be higher than 20 Hz. Occa-
sionally, even higher foundation eigenfrequencies are required. For further
information refer to section Noise and vibration Impact on foundation, Page
81.

3.1 SaCoSone GENSET system overview


3.1 SaCoSone GENSET system overview
The monitoring and safety system SaCoSone GENSET serves for complete
engine operation, control, monitoring and safety of GenSets. Therefore all
sensors and operating devices are wired to the system.
The SaCoSone design is based on high reliable and approved components as
well as modules specially designed for installation on medium speed engines.
The used components are harmonised to a homogenously system. The
whole system is attached to the engine cushioned against vibration.

Control Unit
The Control Unit consists of 2 Control Modules S (CMS). All sensors are con-
nected to the Control Unit:
Control Module/safety:
The CMS safety system (CMS/Safety) contains the safety system and
monitors all engine operating data and initiates required actions (i.e. load
reduction or engine shutdown) in case limit values are exceeded.
Control Module/alarm:
The CMS alarm system (CM-S/alarm) contains the engine control and
alarm system. It monitors all engine operating data and generates alarms
prior to the corresponding safety actions of the CMS safety system in
case limit values are exceeded. In particular, it supervises all necessary
parameters for the engine-internal functions and also provides a redun-
dant overspeed monitoring.

Interface Cabinet
The Interface Cabinet is a floor-standing cabinet providing the interface for all
external systems and the power supply. It contains fuses, relais for 24
VDC/110 VAC/230 VAC and VVT supply.

Local Operating Panel


The Local Operating Panel (LOP) is directly mounted on the engine cush-
ioned against vibration. It is equipped with a display module for the visualisa-
tion of all engine's operating and measuring data. At the local operating
panel, the engine can be fully operated. Additional hardwired switches are
available for relevant functions.

System bus
3 Engine automation

The SaCoSone system bus connects all system modules. This redundant field
bus system provides the basis of data exchange between the modules and
allows the takeover of redundant measuring values from other modules in

3.2 Power supply and distribution


The plant has to provide electric power for the automation and monitoring
system. In general an uninterrupted 24 V DC power supply is required for
SaCoSone.

3.4 Functionality

3.3 Operation

Control Station Changeover


The operation and control can be done from both operating panels. Selec-
tion and activation of the control stations is possible at the Local Operating
Panel. On the touchscreens, all the measuring points acquired by means of
SaCoSone can be shown in clearly arranged drawings and figures. It is not
necessary to install additional speed indicators separately.
The operating rights can be handed over to an external automatic system.

Speed setting
In case of operating with one of the SaCoSone panels, the engine speed set-
ting is carried out manually by a decrease/increase switch button. If the oper-
ation is controlled by an external system, the speed setting can be done
either by means of binary contacts (e.g. for synchronisation) or by an active
4 20 mA analogue signal alternatively. The signal type for this is to be
defined in the project planning period.

Operating modes
For alternator applications:
Droop (5-percent speed increase between nominal load and no load)
The operating mode is pre-selected via the SaCoSone interface and has to be
defined during the application period.
Details regarding special operating modes on request.

3.4 Functionality

Safety system
Safety functions The safety system monitors all operating data of the engine and initiates the
required actions, i.e. engine shutdown, in case the limit values are exceeded.
The safety system is integrated the Display Module. The safety system
directly actuates the emergency shutdown device and the stop facility of the
speed governor.
Auto shutdown Auto shutdown is an engine shutdown initiated by any automatic supervision
3 Engine automation

of engine internal parameters.


Emergency stop Emergency stop is an engine shutdown initiated by an operator manual
action like pressing an emergency stop button. An emergency stop button is
placed at the Control Unit on engine. For connection of an external emer-
2016-03-01 - 1.1

gency stop button there is one input channel at the Interface Cabinet.
Engine shutdown If an engine shutdown is triggered by the safety system, the emergency stop
signal has an immediate effect on the emergency shut-down device and the
speed control. At the same time the emergency stop is triggered, SaCoSone
issues a signal resulting in the alternator switch to be opened.

Alarm/monitoring system
Alarming The alarm function of SaCoSone supervises all necessary parameters and
generates alarms to indicate discrepancies when required. The alarms will be
transferred to ship alarm system via Modbus data communication.
Self-monitoring SaCoSone carries out independent self-monitoring functions. Thus, for exam-
ple the connected sensors are checked constantly for function and wire
break. In case of a fault SaCoSone reports the occurred malfunctions in single
system components via system alarms.
Control SaCoSone controls all engine-internal functions as well as external compo-
nents, for example:
Start/stop sequences:
- Local and remote start/stop sequence for the GenSet.
- Activation of start device. Control (auto start/stop signal) regarding pre-
lubrication oil pump.
- Monitoring and control of the acceleration period.
Jet system:
- For air fuel ratio control purposes, compressed air is lead to the turbo-
charger at start and at load steps.
Control signals for external functions:
- Nozzle cooling water pump
- HT cooling water preheating unit
- Prelubrication oil pump control
Redundant shutdown functions:
- Engine overspeed
- Low lube oil pressure at engine inlet
- High cooling water temperature at engine outlet

camshaft.
Speed adjustment Local, manual speed setting is possible at the Control Unit with a turn switch.
Remote speed setting is either possible via 4-20mA signal or by using hard-
wired lower/raise commands.
Speed adjustment range Between 5 % and +10 % of the nominal speed at idle running.

Engine stop Engine stop can be initiated local at the Display Module and remote via a
hardware channel or the bus interface.

3.5 Interfaces

Data machinery interface


This interface serves for data exchange to ship alarm systems or integrated
automation systems (IAS).
The status messages, alarms and safety actions, which are generated in the
system, can be transferred. All measuring values and alarms acquired by
SaCoSone GENSET are available for transfer.
The following Modbus protocols are available:
Modbus RTU (Standard)
Modbus ASCII
The Modbus RTU protocol is the standard protocol used for the communica-
tion from the GenSet. For the integration in older automation system, also
Modbus ASCII is available.

Modbus RTU protocol


The Modbus RTU protocol is the standard protocol used for the communica-
tion from the GenSet.
The bus interface provides a serial connection. The protocol is implemented
according to the following definitions:
Modbus application protocol specification, Modbus over serial line speci-
fication and implementation guide
There are two serial interface standards available:
RS422 Standard, 4 + 2 wire (cable length <= 100 m), cable type as

Provided data Provided data includes measured values and alarm or state information of
the engine.
Measured values are digitised analogue values of sensors, which are stored
in a fixed register of the control module S. Measured values include media
values (pressures, temperatures) where, according to the rules of classifica-
tion, monitoring has to be done by the machinery alarm system. The data
type used is signed integer of size 16 bit. Measured values are scaled by a
constant factor in order to provide decimals of the measured.
Pre-alarms, shutdowns and state information from the SaCoSone system are
available as single bits in fixed registers. The data type used is unsigned of
size 16 bit. The corresponding bits of alarm or state information are set to the
binary value 1, if the event is active.

Live bit In order to enable the alarm system to check whether the communication
with SaCoSone is working, a live bit is provided in the list of signals. This bit is
alternated every 4 seconds by SaCoSone.Thus, if it remains unchanged for
more than 4 seconds, the communication is down.

Modbus ASCII
General The communication setup is: 9,600 baud, 8 databits, 1 stopbit, no parity.
The Modbus protocol accepts one command (Function code 03) for reading
analogue and digital input values one at a time, or as a block of up to 32
inputs.
The following section describes the commands in the Modbus protocol,
which are implemented, and how they work.
Protocol description The ASCII and RTU version of the Modbus protocol is used, where the
CMS/DM works as Modbus slave.
All data bytes will be converted to 2-ASCII characters (hex-values). Thus,

3.7 Installation requirements

Location
The Interface Cabinet is designed for installation in engine rooms or engine
control rooms.
The cabinet must be installed at a location suitable for service inspection.
Do not install the cabinet close to heat-generating devices.
In case of installation at walls, the distance between the cabinet and the wall
has to be at least 100 mm in order to allow air convection.
Regarding the installation in engine rooms, the cabinet should be supplied
with fresh air by the engine room ventilation through a dedicated ventilation
air pipe near the engine.
Note:
If the restrictions for ambient temperature can not be kept, the cabinet must
be ordered with an optional air condition system.

Ambient air conditions


For restrictions of ambient conditions, please refer to the section Technical
data, Page 106.

Cabling
The interconnection cables between the engine and the Interface Cabinet
have to be installed according to the rules of electromagnetic compatibility.
Control cables and power cables have to be routed in separate cable ducts.
The cables for the connection of sensors and actuators which are not moun-
3 Engine automation

ted on the engine are not included in the scope of MAN Diesel & Turbo sup-
ply. Shielded cables have to be used for the cabling of sensors. For electrical
noise protection, an electric ground connection must be made from the cabi-
net to the hull of the ship.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

All cabling between the Interface Cabinet and the controlled device is scope
of yard supply.
The cabinet is equipped with spring loaded terminal clamps. All wiring to
external systems should be carried out without conductor sleeves.

Installation works
During the installation period the yard has to protect the cabinet against
water, dust and fire. It is not permissible to do any welding near the cabinet.
The cabinet has to be fixed to the floor by screws.
If it is inevitable to do welding near the cabinet, the cabinet and panels have
to be protected against heat, electric current and electromagnetic influences.
To guarantee protection against current, all of the cabling must be discon-
nected from the affected components.
The installation of additional components inside the cabinet is only permissi-
ble after approval by the responsible project manager of MAN Diesel &

This may well change if in the future new methods are developed to produce
low sulphur-containing heavy fuels.
If it is intended to run continuously with low sulphur-containing heavy fuel,
lube oil with a low BN (BN30) has to be used. This is required, in spite of

General
The specific output achieved by modern diesel engines combined with the
use of fuels that satisfy the quality requirements more and more frequently
increase the demands on the performance of the lubricating oil which must
therefore be carefully selected.
Doped lubricating oils (HD oils) have a proven track record as lubricants for
the drive, cylinder, turbocharger and also for cooling the piston. Doped lubri-
cating oils contain additives that, amongst other things, ensure dirt absorp-
tion capability, cleaning of the engine and the neutralisation of acidic com-
bustion products.
Only lubricating oils that have been approved by MAN Diesel & Turbo may be
used. These are listed in the tables below.

Specifications
Base oil The base oil (doped lubricating oil = base oil + additives) must have a narrow
distillation range and be refined using modern methods. If it contains paraf- 4 Specification for engine supplies
fins, they must not impair the thermal stability or oxidation stability.
The base oil must comply with the following limit values, particularly in terms
of its resistance to ageing.

* Works' own method

Compounded lubricating oils The base oil to which the additives have been added (doped lubricating oil)
(HD oils) must have the following properties:
Additives The additives must be dissolved in the oil, and their composition must ensure
that as little ash as possible remains after combustion.
The ash must be soft. If this prerequisite is not met, it is likely the rate of dep-
osition in the combustion chamber will be higher, particularly at the outlet
valves and at the turbocharger inlet housing. Hard additive ash promotes pit-
ting of the valve seats, and causes valve burn-out, it also increases mechani-
cal wear of the cylinder liners.
Additives must not increase the rate, at which the filter elements in the active
or used condition are blocked.
Washing ability The washing ability must be high enough to prevent the accumulation of tar
and coke residue as a result of fuel combustion.
Dispersion capability The selected dispersibility must be such that commercially-available lubricat-
ing oil cleaning systems can remove harmful contaminants from the oil used,
i.e. the oil must possess good filtering properties and separability.
Neutralisation capability The neutralisation capability (ASTM D2896) must be high enough to neutral-
ise the acidic products produced during combustion. The reaction time of
the additive must be harmonised with the process in the combustion cham-
ber.
Evaporation tendency The evaporation tendency must be as low as possible as otherwise the oil
4 Specification for engine supplies

consumption will be adversely affected.


Additional requirements The lubricating oil must not contain viscosity index improver. Fresh oil must
not contain water or other contaminants.

Doped oil quality We recommend doped lubricating oils (HD oils) according to international
specifications MIL-L 2104 or API-CD with a base number of BN 10 16 mg
KOH/g. Military specification O-278 lubricating oils may be used.
The operating conditions of the engine and the quality of the fuel determine
the additive fractions the lubricating oil should contain. If marine diesel oil is
used, which has a high sulphur content of 1.5 up to 2.0 weight %, a base

112 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 4

number of appr. 20 should be selected. However, the operating results that

4.2 Specification of lubricating oil (SAE 40) for operation


with MGO/MDO and biofuels
ensure the most efficient engine operation ultimately determine the additive
content.
Cylinder lubricating oil In engines with separate cylinder lubrication systems, the pistons and cylin-
der liners are supplied with lubricating oil via a separate lubricating oil pump.
The quantity of lubricating oil is set at the factory according to the quality of
the fuel to be used and the anticipated operating conditions.
Use a lubricating oil for the cylinder and lubricating circuit as specified above.
Oil for mech.hydr. speed Multigrade oil 5W40 should ideally be used in mechanical-hydraulic control-
governor lers with a separate oil sump, unless the technical documentation for the
speed governor specifies otherwise. If this oil is not available when filling,
15W40 oil may be used instead in exceptional cases. In this case, it makes
no difference whether synthetic or mineral-based oils are used.
The military specification applied for these oils is NATO O-236.
Experience with the drive engine L27/38 has shown that the operating tem-
perature of the Woodward controller UG10MAS and corresponding actuator
for UG723+ can reach temperatures higher than 93 C. In these cases, we
recommend using synthetic oil such as Castrol Alphasyn HG150. The
engines supplied after March 2005 are already filled with this oil.
Lubricating oil additives The use of other additives with the lubricating oil, or the mixing of different
brands (oils by different manufacturers), is not permitted as this may impair
the performance of the existing additives which have been carefully harmon-
ised with each another, and also specially tailored to the base oil.
Selection of lubricating oils/ Most of the mineral oil companies are in close regular contact with engine
warranty manufacturers, and can therefore provide information on which oil in their
specific product range has been approved by the engine manufacturer for
the particular application. Irrespective of the above, the lubricating oil manu-
facturers are in any case responsible for the quality and characteristics of
their products. If you have any questions, we will be happy to provide you
with further information.
Oil during operation There are no prescribed oil change intervals for MAN Diesel & Turbo medium
speed engines. The oil properties must be regularly analysed. As long as the
oil properties are within the defined limit values the oil may be used further.
See table Limit values for used lubricating oil, Page 119.
An oil sample must be analysed every 1-3 months (see maintenance sched- 4 Specification for engine supplies
ule). The quality of the oil can only be maintained if it is cleaned using suitable
equipment (e.g. a separator or filter).
Temporary operation with Due to current and future emission regulations, heavy fuel oil cannot be used
gas oil in designated regions. Low-sulphur diesel fuel must be used in these regions
instead.
If the engine is operated with low-sulphur diesel fuel for less than 1,000 h, a
lubricating oil which is suitable for HFO operation (BN 30 55 mg KOH/g)
can be used during this period.
If the engine is operated provisionally with low-sulphur diesel fuel for more
2016-03-01 - 1.1

than 1,000 h and is subsequently operated once again with HFO, a lubricat-
ing oil with a BN of 20 must be used. If the BN 20 lubricating oil from the
same manufacturer as the lubricating oil is used for HFO operation with
higher BN (40 or 50), an oil change will not be required when effecting the
changeover. It will be sufficient to use BN 20 oil when replenishing the used
lubricating oil.

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 113 (270)
4 MAN Diesel & Turbo

If you wish to operate the engine with HFO once again, it will be necessary to
4.2 Specification of lubricating oil (SAE 40) for operation
with MGO/MDO and biofuels

change over in good time to lubricating oil with a higher BN (30 55). If the
lubricating oil with higher BN is by the same manufacturer as the BN 20 lubri-
cating oil, the changeover can also be effected without an oil change. In
doing so, the lubricating oil with higher BN (30 55) must be used to replen-
ish the used lubricating oil roughly 2 weeks prior to resuming HFO operation.

Tests
Regular analysis of lube oil samples is very important for safe engine opera-
tion. We can analyse fuel for customers at MAN Diesel & Turbo laboratory
PrimeServLab.
Note:
If operating fluids are improperly handled, this can pose a danger to health,
safety and the environment. The relevant safety information by the supplier of
operating fluids must be observed.

Operation with low-sulphur To comply with the emissions regulations, the sulphur content of fuels used
fuel nowadays varies. Fuels with low-sulphur content must be used in environ-
mentally-sensitive areas (e.g. SECA). Fuels with higher sulphur content may
2016-03-01 - 1.1

be used outside SECA zones. In this case, the BN number of the lube oil
selected must satisfy the requirements for operation using fuel with high-sul-
phur content. A lube oil with low BN number may only be selected if fuel with
a low sulphur content is used exclusively during operation.
However, the practical results demonstrate that the most efficient engine
operation is the factor ultimately determining the permitted additive content.

Cylinder lubricating oil In engines with separate cylinder lubrication systems, the pistons and cylin-
4.3 Specification of lubricating oil (SAE 40) for heavy fuel
operation (HFO)

der liners are supplied with lubricating oil via a separate lubricating oil pump.
The quantity of lubricating oil is set at the factory according to the quality of
the fuel to be used and the anticipated operating conditions.
Use a lubricating oil for the cylinder and lubricating circuit as specified above.
Oil for mech.hydr. speed Multigrade oil 5W40 should ideally be used in mechanical-hydraulic control-
governor lers with a separate oil sump, unless the technical documentation for the
speed governor specifies otherwise. If this oil is not available when filling,
15W40 oil may be used instead in exceptional cases. In this case, it makes
no difference whether synthetic or mineral-based oils are used.
The military specification applied for these oils is NATO O-236.
Experience with the drive engine L27/38 has shown that the operating tem-
perature of the Woodward controller UG10MAS and corresponding actuator
for UG723+ can reach temperatures higher than 93 C. In these cases, we
recommend using synthetic oil such as Castrol Alphasyn HG150. The
engines supplied after March 2005 are already filled with this oil.
Lubricating oil additives The use of other additives with the lubricating oil, or the mixing of different
brands (oils by different manufacturers), is not permitted as this may impair
the performance of the existing additives which have been carefully harmon-
ised with each another, and also specially tailored to the base oil.
Selection of lubricating oils/ Most of the mineral oil companies are in close regular contact with engine
warranty manufacturers, and can therefore provide information on which oil in their
specific product range has been approved by the engine manufacturer for
the particular application. Irrespective of the above, the lubricating oil manu-
facturers are in any case responsible for the quality and characteristics of
their products. If you have any questions, we will be happy to provide you
with further information.
Oil during operation There are no prescribed oil change intervals for MAN Diesel & Turbo medium
speed engines. The oil properties must be regularly analysed. As long as the
oil properties are within the defined limit values the oil may be used further.
See table Limit values for used lubricating oil, Page 119.
An oil sample must be analysed every 1-3 months (see maintenance sched-
ule). The quality of the oil can only be maintained if it is cleaned using suitable
equipment (e.g. a separator or filter).
4 Specification for engine supplies

Temporary operation with Due to current and future emission regulations, heavy fuel oil cannot be used
gas oil in designated regions. Low-sulphur diesel fuel must be used in these regions
instead.
If the engine is operated with low-sulphur diesel fuel for less than 1,000 h, a
lubricating oil which is suitable for HFO operation (BN 30 55 mg KOH/g)
can be used during this period.
If the engine is operated provisionally with low-sulphur diesel fuel for more
than 1,000 h and is subsequently operated once again with HFO, a lubricat-
ing oil with a BN of 20 must be used. If the BN 20 lubricating oil from the
same manufacturer as the lubricating oil is used for HFO operation with
2016-03-01 - 1.1

higher BN (40 or 50), an oil change will not be required when effecting the
changeover. It will be sufficient to use BN 20 oil when replenishing the used
lubricating oil.
If you wish to operate the engine with HFO once again, it will be necessary to
change over in good time to lubricating oil with a higher BN (30 55). If the
lubricating oil with higher BN is by the same manufacturer as the BN 20 lubri-

118 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN

cating oil, the changeover can also be effected without an oil change. In

doing so, the lubricating oil with higher BN (30 55) must be used to replen-
ish the used lubricating oil roughly 2 weeks prior to resuming HFO operation.

the cloud point in accordance with ISO 3015

Additional information
Use of diesel oil If distillate intended for use as heating oil is used with stationary engines
instead of diesel oil (EL heating oil according to DIN 51603 or Fuel No. 1 or
no. 2 according to ASTM D 396), the ignition behaviour, stability and behav-
iour at low temperatures must be ensured; in other words the requirements
for the filterability and cetane number must be satisfied.
Viscosity To ensure sufficient lubrication, a minimum viscosity must be ensured at the
fuel pump. The maximum temperature required to ensure that a viscosity of
more than 1.9 mm2/s is maintained upstream of the fuel pump, depends on
the fuel viscosity. In any case, the fuel temperature upstream of the injection
pump must not exceed 45 C.
Lubricity Normally, the lubricating ability of diesel oil is sufficient to operate the fuel
injection pump. Desulphurisation of diesel fuels can reduce their lubricity. If
the sulphur content is extremely low (< 500 ppm or 0.05%), the lubricity may
no longer be sufficient. Before using diesel fuels with low sulphur content,
you should therefore ensure that their lubricity is sufficient. This is the case if 4 Specification for engine supplies
the lubricity as specified in ISO 12156-1 does not exceed 520 m.
You can ensure that these conditions will be met by using motor vehicle die-
sel fuel in accordance with EN 590 as this characteristic value is an integral
part of the specification.
Note:
If operating fluids are improperly handled, this can pose a danger to health,
safety and the environment. The relevant safety information by the supplier of
operating fluids must be observed.

6 mm2/s @ 40 C, as this would reduce the lifetime of the injection system.

Additional information
During transshipment and transfer, MDO is handled in the same manner as
residual oil. This means that it is possible for the oil to be mixed with high-
viscosity fuel or heavy fuel oil with the remnants of these types of fuels in
the bunker ship, for example that could significantly impair the properties of
the oil.
Lubricity Normally, the lubricating ability of diesel oil is sufficient to operate the fuel
injection pump. Desulphurisation of diesel fuels can reduce their lubricity. If
the sulphur content is extremely low (< 500 ppm or 0.05%), the lubricity may
no longer be sufficient. Before using diesel fuels with low sulphur content,
you should therefore ensure that their lubricity is sufficient. This is the case if
the lubricity as specified in ISO 12156-1 does not exceed 520 m.
You can ensure that these conditions will be met by using motor vehicle die-
sel fuel in accordance with EN 590 as this characteristic value is an integral
part of the specification.
The fuel must be free of lubricating oil (ULO used lubricating oil, old oil).
Fuel is considered as contaminated with lubricating oil when the following
concentrations occur:
Ca > 30 ppm and Zn > 15 ppm or Ca > 30 ppm and P > 15 ppm.
The pour point specifies the temperature at which the oil no longer flows. The
lowest temperature of the fuel in the system should be roughly 10 C above
the pour point to ensure that the required pumping characteristics are main-
tained.
A minimum viscosity must be observed to ensure sufficient lubrication in the
fuel injection pumps. The temperature of the fuel must therefore not exceed
45 C.
Seawater causes the fuel system to corrode and also leads to hot corrosion
of the exhaust valves and turbocharger. Seawater also causes insufficient
atomisation and therefore poor mixture formation accompanied by a high
proportion of combustion residues.
Solid foreign matters increase mechanical wear and formation of ash in the 4 Specification for engine supplies
cylinder space.
We recommend the installation of a separator upstream of the fuel filter. Sep-
aration temperature: 40 50C. Most solid particles (sand, rust and catalyst
particles) and water can be removed, and the cleaning intervals of the filter
elements can be extended considerably.

If operating fluids are improperly handled, this can pose a danger to health,
safety and the environment. The relevant safety information by the supplier of
operating fluids must be observed.

4.6 Specification of heavy fuel oil (HFO)

4.6 Specification of heavy fuel oil (HFO)

Prerequisites
MAN Diesel & Turbo four-stroke diesel engines can be operated with any
heavy fuel oil obtained from crude oil that also satisfies the requirements in
Table The fuel specification and corresponding characteristics for heavy fuel
oil, Page 125 providing the engine and fuel processing system have been
designed accordingly. To ensure that the relationship between the fuel, spare
parts and repair / maintenance costs remains favourable at all times, the fol-
lowing points should be observed.

Heavy fuel oil (HFO)


Origin/Refinery process The quality of the heavy fuel oil largely depends on the quality of crude oil
and on the refining process used. This is why the properties of heavy fuel oils
with the same viscosity may vary considerably depending on the bunker
positions. Heavy fuel oil is normally a mixture of residual oil and distillates.
The components of the mixture are normally obtained from modern refinery
processes, such as Catcracker or Visbreaker. These processes can
adversely affect the stability of the fuel as well as its ignition and combustion
properties. The processing of the heavy fuel oil and the operating result of
the engine also depend heavily on these factors.
Bunker positions with standardised heavy fuel oil qualities should preferably
be used. If oils need to be purchased from independent dealers, also ensure
that these also comply with the international specifications. The engine oper-
ator is responsible for ensuring that suitable heavy fuel oils are chosen.
Specifications Fuels intended for use in an engine must satisfy the specifications to ensure
sufficient quality. The limit values for heavy fuel oils are specified in Table The
fuel specification and corresponding characteristics for heavy fuel oil, Page
125. The entries in the last column of this Table provide important back-
ground information and must therefore be observed
Different international specifications exist for heavy fuel oils. The most impor-
tant specifications are ISO 8217-2012 and CIMAC-2003. These two specifi-
4 Specification for engine supplies

cations are more or less equivalent. Figure ISO 8217-2012 Specification for
heavy fuel oil indicates the ISO 8217 specifications. All qualities in these
specifications up to K700 can be used, provided the fuel system has been
designed for these fuels. To use any fuels, which do not comply with these
specifications (e.g. crude oil), consultation with Technical Service of MAN
Diesel & Turbo in Augsburg is required. Heavy fuel oils with a maximum den-
sity of 1,010 kg/m3 may only be used if up-to-date separators are installed.
Important Even though the fuel properties specified in the table entitled The fuel specifi-
cation and corresponding properties for heavy fuel oil, Page 125 satisfy the
above requirements, they probably do not adequately define the ignition and
combustion properties and the stability of the fuel. This means that the oper-
2016-03-01 - 1.1

ating behaviour of the engine can depend on properties that are not defined
in the specification. This particularly applies to the oil property that causes
formation of deposits in the combustion chamber, injection system, gas
ducts and exhaust gas system. A number of fuels have a tendency towards
incompatibility with lubricating oil which leads to deposits being formed in the
fuel delivery pump that can block the pumps. It may therefore be necessary
to exclude specific fuels that could cause problems.

Blends The addition of engine oils (old lubricating oil, ULO used lubricating oil) and

4.6 Specification of heavy fuel oil (HFO)


additives that are not manufactured from mineral oils, (coal-tar oil, for exam-
ple), and residual products of chemical or other processes such as solvents
(polymers or chemical waste) is not permitted. Some of the reasons for this
are as follows: abrasive and corrosive effects, unfavourable combustion
characteristics, poor compatibility with mineral oils and, last but not least,
adverse effects on the environment. The order for the fuel must expressly
state what is not permitted as the fuel specifications that generally apply do
not include this limitation.
If engine oils (old lubricating oil, ULO used lubricating oil) are added to fuel,
this poses a particular danger as the additives in the lubricating oil act as
emulsifiers that cause dirt, water and catfines to be transported as fine sus-
pension. They therefore prevent the necessary cleaning of the fuel. In our
experience (and this has also been the experience of other manufacturers),
this can severely damage the engine and turbocharger components.
The addition of chemical waste products (solvents, for example) to the fuel is
prohibited for environmental protection reasons according to the resolution
of the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee passed on 1st January
1992.
Leak oil collector Leak oil collectors that act as receptacles for leak oil, and also return and
overflow pipes in the lube oil system, must not be connected to the fuel tank.
Leak oil lines should be emptied into sludge tanks.

Please see section ISO 8217-2012 Specification of HFO, Page 135

Additional information
The purpose of the following information is to show the relationship between
the quality of heavy fuel oil, heavy fuel oil processing, the engine operation
and operating results more clearly.
Selection of heavy fuel oil Economical operation with heavy fuel oil within the limit values specified in
the table entitled The fuel specification and corresponding properties for
heavy fuel oil, Page 125 is possible under normal operating conditions, provi-
ded the system is working properly and regular maintenance is carried out. If
these requirements are not satisfied, shorter maintenance intervals, higher
wear and a greater need for spare parts is to be expected. The required
maintenance intervals and operating results determine which quality of heavy
fuel oil should be used.
4 Specification for engine supplies

It is an established fact that the price advantage decreases as viscosity


increases. It is therefore not always economical to use the fuel with the high-
est viscosity as in many cases the quality of this fuel will not be the best.
Viscosity/injection viscosity Heavy fuel oils with a high viscosity may be of an inferior quality. The maxi-
mum permissible viscosity depends on the preheating system installed and
the capacity (flow rate) of the separator.
The prescribed injection viscosity of 12 14 mm2/s (for GenSets, L16/24,
L21/31, L23/30H, L27/38, L28/32H: 12 - 18 cSt) and corresponding fuel
temperature upstream of the engine must be observed. This is the only way
to ensure efficient atomisation and mixture formation and therefore low-resi-
due combustion. This also prevents mechanical overloading of the injection
2016-03-01 - 1.1

system. For the prescribed injection viscosity and/or the required fuel oil tem-
perature upstream of the engine, refer to the viscosity temperature diagram.
Heavy fuel oil processing Whether or not problems occur with the engine in operation depends on how
carefully the heavy fuel oil has been processed. Particular care should be
taken to ensure that highly-abrasive inorganic foreign matter (catalyst parti-

126 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 4

cles, rust, sand) are effectively removed. It has been shown in practice that

4.6 Specification of heavy fuel oil (HFO)


wear as a result of abrasion in the engine increases considerably if the alumi-
num and silicium content is higher than 15 mg/kg.
Viscosity and density influence the cleaning effect. This must be taken into
account when designing and making adjustments to the cleaning system.
Settling tank Heavy fuel oil is precleaned in the settling tank. The longer the fuel remains in
the tank and the lower the viscosity of heavy fuel oil is, the more effective the
precleaning process will be (maximum preheating temperature of 75 C to
prevent the formation of asphalt in heavy fuel oil). A settling tank is sufficient
for heavy fuel oils with a viscosity of less than 380 mm2/s at 50 C. If the
heavy fuel oil has a high concentration of foreign matter, or if fuels in accord-
ance with ISO-F-RM, G/H/K380 or H/K700 are to be used, two settling tanks
will be required one of which must be sized for 24-hour operation. Before the
content is moved to the service tank, water and sludge must be drained from
the settling tank.
Separators A separator is particularly suitable for separating material with a higher spe-
cific density such as water, foreign matter and sludge. The separators must
be self-cleaning (i.e. the cleaning intervals must be triggered automatically).
Only new generation separators should be used. They are extremely effective
throughout a wide density range with no changeover required, and can sep-
arate water from heavy fuel oils with a density of up to 1.01 g/ml at 15 C.
Table Achievable proportion of foreign matter and water (following separa-
tion), Page 128 shows the prerequisites that must be met by the separator.
These limit values are used by manufacturers as the basis for dimensioning
the separator and ensure compliance.
The manufacturer's specifications must be complied with to maximize the
cleaning effect.

Figure 42: Arrangement of heavy fuel oil cleaning equipment and/or separator
The separators must be arranged according to the manufacturers' current
recommendations (Alfa Laval and Westphalia). The density and viscosity of
the heavy fuel oil in particular must be taken into account. If separators by
other manufacturers are used, MAN Diesel & Turbo should be consulted.

If the treatment is in accordance with the MAN Diesel & Turbo specifications
4.6 Specification of heavy fuel oil (HFO)

and the correct separators are chosen, it may be assumed that the results
stated in the table entitled Achievable Contents of Foreign Matter and Water,
Page 128 for inorganic foreign matter and water in heavy fuel oil will be ach-
ieved at the engine inlet.
Results obtained during operation in practice show that the wear occurs as a
result of abrasion in the injection system and the engine will remain within
acceptable limits if these values are complied with. In addition, an optimum
lube oil treatment process must be ensured.
Definition Particle size Quantity
Inorganic foreign matter < 5 m < 20 mg/kg
including catalyst particles

Al+Si content -- < 15 mg/kg

Water content -- < 0.2 vol.%


Table 80: Achievable contents of foreign matter and water (after separation)

Water It is particularly important to ensure that the water separation process is as


thorough as possible as the water takes the form of large droplets, and not a
finely distributed emulsion. In this form, water also promotes corrosion and
sludge formation in the fuel system and therefore impairs the supply, atomi-
sation and combustion of the heavy fuel oil. If the water absorbed in the fuel
is seawater, harmful sodium chloride and other salts dissolved in this water
will enter the engine.
Water-containing sludge must be removed from the settling tank before the
separation process starts, and must also be removed from the service tank
at regular intervals. The tank's ventilation system must be designed in such a
way that condensate cannot flow back into the tank.
Vanadium/Sodium If the vanadium/sodium ratio is unfavourable, the melting point of the heavy
fuel oil ash may fall in the operating area of the exhaust-gas valve which can
lead to high-temperature corrosion. Most of the water and water-soluble
sodium compounds it contains can be removed by pretreating the heavy fuel
oil in the settling tank and in the separators.
The risk of high-temperature corrosion is low if the sodium content is one
4 Specification for engine supplies

third of the vanadium content or less. It must also be ensured that sodium
does not enter the engine in the form of seawater in the intake air.
If the sodium content is higher than 100 mg/kg, this is likely to result in a
higher quantity of salt deposits in the combustion chamber and exhaust-gas
system. This will impair the function of the engine (including the suction func-
tion of the turbocharger).
Under certain conditions, high-temperature corrosion can be prevented by
using a fuel additive that increases the melting point of heavy fuel oil ash (also
see Additives for heavy fuel oils, Page 132).
Ash Fuel ash consists for the greater part of vanadium oxide and nickel sulphate
2016-03-01 - 1.1

(see above section for more information). Heavy fuel oils containing a high
proportion of ash in the form of foreign matter, e.g. sand, corrosion com-
pounds and catalyst particles, accelerate the mechanical wear in the engine.
Catalyst particles produced as a result of the catalytic cracking process may
be present in the heavy fuel oils. In most cases, these catalyst particles are
aluminium silicates causing a high degree of wear in the injection system and

128 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN

the engine. The aluminium content determined, multiplied by a factor of

4.6 Specification of heavy fuel oil (HFO)


between 5 and 8 (depending on the catalytic bond), is roughly the same as
the proportion of catalyst remnants in the heavy fuel oil.
Homogeniser If a homogeniser is used, it must never be installed between the settling tank
and separator as otherwise it will not be possible to ensure satisfactory sepa-
ration of harmful contaminants, particularly seawater.
Flash point (ASTM D 93) National and international transportation and storage regulations governing
the use of fuels must be complied with in relation to the flash point. In gen-
eral, a flash point of above 60 C is prescribed for diesel engine fuels.
Low-temperature behaviour The pour point is the temperature at which the fuel is no longer flowable
(ASTM D 97) (pumpable). As the pour point of many low-viscosity heavy fuel oils is higher
than 0 C, the bunker facility must be preheated, unless fuel in accordance
with RMA or RMB is used. The entire bunker facility must be designed in
such a way that the heavy fuel oil can be preheated to around 10 C above
the pour point.
Pump characteristics If the viscosity of the fuel is higher than 1000 mm2/s (cSt), or the temperature
is not at least 10 C above the pour point, pump problems will occur. For
more information, also refer to Low-temperature behaviour (ASTM D 97),
Page 129.
Combustion properties If the proportion of asphalt is more than two thirds of the coke residue (Con-
radson), combustion may be delayed which in turn may increase the forma-
tion of combustion residues, leading to such as deposits on and in the injec-
tion nozzles, large amounts of smoke, low output, increased fuel consump-
tion and a rapid rise in ignition pressure as well as combustion close to the
cylinder wall (thermal overloading of lubricating oil film). If the ratio of asphalt
to coke residues reaches the limit 0.66, and if the asphalt content exceeds
8%, the risk of deposits forming in the combustion chamber and injection
system is higher. These problems can also occur when using unstable heavy
fuel oils, or if incompatible heavy fuel oils are mixed. This would lead to an
increased deposition of asphalt (see Compatibility, Page 132).
Ignition quality Nowadays, to achieve the prescribed reference viscosity, cracking-process
products are used as the low viscosity ingredients of heavy fuel oils although
the ignition characteristics of these oils may also be poor. The cetane num-
ber of these compounds should be > 35. If the proportion of aromatic hydro-
carbons is high (more than 35 %), this also adversely affects the ignition
quality. 4 Specification for engine supplies
The ignition delay in heavy fuel oils with poor ignition characteristics is longer;
the combustion is also delayed which can lead to thermal overloading of the
oil film at the cylinder liner and also high cylinder pressures. The ignition delay
and accompanying increase in pressure in the cylinder are also influenced by
the end temperature and compression pressure, i.e. by the compression
ratio, the charge-air pressure and charge-air temperature.
The disadvantages of using fuels with poor ignition characteristics can be
limited by preheating the charge air in partial load operation and reducing the
output for a limited period. However, a more effective solution is a high com-
2016-03-01 - 1.1

pression ratio and operational adjustment of the injection system to the igni-
tion characteristics of the fuel used, as is the case with MAN Diesel & Turbo
piston engines.
The ignition quality is one of the most important properties of the fuel. This
value does not appear in the international specifications because a standar-
dised testing method has only recently become available and not enough
experience has been gathered at this point in order to determine limit values.

The parameters, such as the calculated carbon aromaticity index (CCAI), are
4.6 Specification of heavy fuel oil (HFO)

therefore aids that are derived from quantifiable fuel properties. We have
established that this method is suitable for determining the approximate igni-
tion quality of the heavy fuel oil used.
A testing instrument has been developed based on the constant volume
combustion method (fuel combustion analyser FCA) and is currently being
tested by a series of testing laboratories.
The instrument measures the ignition delay to determine the ignition quality
of fuel and this measurement is converted into an instrument-specific cetane
number (FIA-CN or EC). It has been established that in some cases, heavy
fuel oils with a low FIA cetane number or ECN number can cause operating
problems.
As the liquid components of the heavy fuel oil decisively influence the ignition
quality, flow properties and combustion quality, the bunker operator is
responsible for ensuring that the quality of heavy fuel oil delivered is suitable
for the diesel engine. Also see illustration entitled Nomogram for determining
the CCAI assigning the CCAI ranges to engine types, Page 131.

Sulphuric acid corrosion The engine should be operated at the coolant temperatures prescribed in the
operating handbook for the relevant load. If the temperature of the compo-
nents that are exposed to acidic combustion products is below the acid dew
point, acid corrosion can no longer be effectively prevented, even if alkaline
lube oil is used.

The BN values specified in section Specification of lubricating oil (SAE 40) for
4.6 Specification of heavy fuel oil (HFO)

heavy fuel operation (HFO), Page 115 are sufficient, providing the quality of
lubricating oil and the engine's cooling system satisfy the requirements.
Compatibility The supplier must guarantee that the heavy fuel oil is homogeneous and
remains stable, even after the standard storage period. If different bunker oils
are mixed, this can lead to separation and the associated sludge formation in
the fuel system during which large quantities of sludge accumulate in the
separator that block filters, prevent atomisation and a large amount of resi-
due as a result of combustion.
This is due to incompatibility or instability of the oils. Therefore heavy fuel oil
as much as possible should be removed in the storage tank before bunker-
ing again to prevent incompatibility.
Blending the heavy fuel oil If heavy fuel oil for the main engine is blended with gas oil (MGO) to obtain
the required quality or viscosity of heavy fuel oil, it is extremely important that
the components are compatible (see Compatibility, Page 132).
Additives for heavy fuel oils MAN Diesel & Turbo SE engines can be operated economically without addi-
tives. It is up to the customer to decide whether or not the use of additives is
beneficial. The supplier of the additive must guarantee that the engine opera-
tion will not be impaired by using the product.
The use of heavy fuel oil additives during the warranty period must be avoi-
ded as a basic principle.
Additives that are currently used for diesel engines, as well as their probable
effects on the engine's operation, are summarised in the table below Addi-
tives for heavy fuel oils classification/effects, Page 132.

Heavy fuel oils with low From the point of view of an engine manufacturer, a lower limit for the sul-
sulphur content phur content of heavy fuel oils does not exist. We have not identified any
problems with the low-sulphur heavy fuel oils currently available on the mar-
ket that can be traced back to their sulphur content. This situation may
change in future if new methods are used for the production of low-sulphur
heavy fuel oil (desulphurisation, new blending components). MAN Diesel &
Turbo will monitor developments and inform its customers if required.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

If the engine is not always operated with low-sulphur heavy fuel oil, corre-
sponding lubricating oil for the fuel with the highest sulphur content must be
selected.
Note:
If operating fluids are improperly handled, this can pose a danger to health,
safety and the environment. The relevant safety information by the supplier of
operating fluids must be observed.

4.6 Specification of heavy fuel oil (HFO)


Sampling To check whether the specification provided and/or the necessary delivery
conditions are complied with, we recommend you retain at least one sample
of every bunker oil (at least for the duration of the engine's warranty period).
To ensure that the samples taken are representative of the bunker oil, a sam-
ple should be taken from the transfer line when starting up, halfway through
the operating period and at the end of the bunker period. "Sample Tec" by
Mar-Tec in Hamburg is a suitable testing instrument which can be used to
take samples on a regular basis during bunkering.
Analysis of samples To ensure sufficient cleaning of the fuel via the separator, perform regular
functional check by sampling up- and downstream of the separator.
Analysis of HFO samples is very important for safe engine operation. We can
analyse fuel for customers at MAN Diesel & Turbo laboratory PrimeServLab.

* With these figures, the temperature drop between the last preheating
device and the fuel injection pump is not taken into account.
A heavy fuel oil with a viscosity of 180 mm2/s at 50 C can reach a viscosity
of 1,000 mm2/s at 24 C (line e) this is the maximum permissible viscosity
of fuel that the pump can deliver.
A heavy fuel oil discharge temperature of 152 C is reached when using a
recent state-of-the-art preheating device with 8 bar saturated steam. At
higher temperatures there is a risk of residues forming in the preheating sys-
tem this leads to a reduction in heating output and thermal overloading of
the heavy fuel oil. Asphalt is also formed in this case, i.e. quality deterioration.
The heavy fuel oil lines between the outlet of the last preheating system and
the injection valve must be suitably insulated to limit the maximum drop in
temperature to 4 C. This is the only way to achieve the necessary injection
viscosity of 14 mm2/s for heavy fuel oils with a reference viscosity of 700
mm2/s at 50 C (the maximum viscosity as defined in the international specifi-
cations such as ISO CIMAC or British Standard). If heavy fuel oil with a low
reference viscosity is used, the injection viscosity should ideally be 12 mm2/s
in order to achieve more effective atomisation to reduce the combustion resi-
due.
The delivery pump must be designed for heavy fuel oil with a viscosity of up
to 1,000 mm2/s. The pour point also determines whether the pump is capa-
ble of transporting the heavy fuel oil. The bunker facility must be designed so
as to allow the heavy fuel oil to be heated to roughly 10 C above the pour
point.
4 Specification for engine supplies

Note:
The viscosity of gas oil or diesel oil (marine diesel oil) upstream of the engine
must be at least 1.9 mm2/s. If the viscosity is too low, this may cause seizing
of the pump plunger or nozzle needle valves as a result of insufficient lubrica-
tion.
This can be avoided by monitoring the temperature of the fuel. Although the
maximum permissible temperature depends on the viscosity of the fuel, it
must never exceed the following values:
45 C at the most with MGO (DMA) and MDO (DMB)
2016-03-01 - 1.1

A fuel cooler must therefore be installed.


If the viscosity of the fuel is < 2 cSt at 40 C, consult the technical service of
MAN Diesel & Turbo SE in Augsburg.

4.8 Specification of engine cooling water


4.8 Specification of engine cooling water

Preliminary remarks
An engine coolant is composed as follows: water for heat removal and cool-
ant additive for corrosion protection.
As is also the case with the fuel and lubricating oil, the engine coolant must
be carefully selected, handled and checked. If this is not the case, corrosion,
erosion and cavitation may occur at the walls of the cooling system in con-
tact with water and deposits may form. Deposits obstruct the transfer of heat
and can cause thermal overloading of the cooled parts. The system must be
treated with an anticorrosive agent before bringing it into operation for the
first time. The concentrations prescribed by the engine manufacturer must
always be observed during subsequent operation. The above especially
applies if a chemical additive is added.

Requirements
Limit values The properties of untreated coolant must correspond to the following limit
values:

Testing equipment The MAN Diesel & Turbo water testing equipment incorporates devices that
determine the water properties directly related to the above. The manufactur-
ers of anticorrosive agents also supply user-friendly testing equipment.
For information on monitoring cooling water, see section Cooling water
inspecting, Page 146.

Additional information
Distillate If distilled water (from a fresh water generator, for example) or fully desalina-
2016-03-01 - 1.1

ted water (from ion exchange or reverse osmosis) is available, this should
ideally be used as the engine coolant. These waters are free of lime and
salts, which means that deposits that could interfere with the transfer of heat
to the coolant, and therefore also reduce the cooling effect, cannot form.
However, these waters are more corrosive than normal hard water as the
thin film of lime scale that would otherwise provide temporary corrosion pro-

tection does not form on the walls. This is why distilled water must be han-
4.8 Specification of engine cooling water

dled particularly carefully and the concentration of the additive must be regu-
larly checked.
Hardness The total hardness of the water is the combined effect of the temporary and
permanent hardness. The proportion of calcium and magnesium salts is of
overriding importance. The temporary hardness is determined by the carbo-
nate content of the calcium and magnesium salts. The permanent hardness
is determined by the amount of remaining calcium and magnesium salts (sul-
phates). The temporary (carbonate) hardness is the critical factor that deter-
mines the extent of limescale deposit in the cooling system.
Water with a total hardness of > 10dGH must be mixed with distilled water
or softened. Subsequent hardening of extremely soft water is only necessary
to prevent foaming if emulsifiable slushing oils are used.

Damage to the cooling water system


Corrosion Corrosion is an electrochemical process that can widely be avoided by
selecting the correct water quality and by carefully handling the water in the
engine cooling system.
Flow cavitation Flow cavitation can occur in areas in which high flow velocities and high tur-
bulence is present. If the steam pressure is reached, steam bubbles form
and subsequently collapse in high pressure zones which causes the destruc-
tion of materials in constricted areas.
Erosion Erosion is a mechanical process accompanied by material abrasion and the
destruction of protective films by solids that have been drawn in, particularly
in areas with high flow velocities or strong turbulence.
Stress corrosion cracking Stress corrosion cracking is a failure mechanism that occurs as a result of
simultaneous dynamic and corrosive stress. This may lead to cracking and
rapid crack propagation in water-cooled, mechanically-loaded components if
the coolant has not been treated correctly.

Processing of engine cooling water


Formation of a protective The purpose of treating the engine coolant using anticorrosive agents is to
film produce a continuous protective film on the walls of cooling surfaces and
4 Specification for engine supplies

therefore prevent the damage referred to above. In order for an anticorrosive


agent to be 100 % effective, it is extremely important that untreated water
satisfies the requirements in the Section Requirements, Page 139.
Protective films can be formed by treating the coolant with anticorrosive
chemicals or emulsifiable slushing oil.
Emulsifiable slushing oils are used less and less frequently as their use has
been considerably restricted by environmental protection regulations, and
because they are rarely available from suppliers for this and other reasons.
Treatment prior to initial Treatment with an anticorrosive agent should be carried out before the
commissioning of engine engine is brought into operation for the first time to prevent irreparable initial

damage.
Note:
The engine must not be brought into operation without treating the cooling
water first.

Additives for cooling water

4.8 Specification of engine cooling water


Only the additives approved by MAN Diesel & Turbo and listed in the tables
under the section entitled Approved Coolant Additives may be used.
Required approval A coolant additive may only be permitted for use if tested and approved as
per the latest directives of the ICE Research Association (FVV) "Suitability test
of internal combustion engine cooling fluid additives. The test report must
be obtainable on request. The relevant tests can be carried out on request in
Germany at the staatliche Materialprfanstalt (Federal Institute for Materials
Research and Testing), Abteilung Oberflchentechnik (Surface Technology
Division), Grafenstrae 2 in D-64283 Darmstadt.
Once the coolant additive has been tested by the FVV, the engine must be
tested in the second step before the final approval is granted.
In closed circuits only Additives may only be used in closed circuits where no significant consump-
tion occurs, apart from leaks or evaporation losses. Observe the applicable
environmental protection regulations when disposing of coolant containing
additives. For more information, consult the additive supplier.

Chemical additives
Sodium nitrite and sodium borate based additives etc. have a proven track
record. Galvanised iron pipes or zinc sacrificial anodes must not be used in
cooling systems. This corrosion protection is not required due to the prescri-
bed coolant treatment and electrochemical potential reversal that may occur
due to the coolant temperatures which are usual in engines nowadays. If
necessary, the pipes must be deplated.

Slushing oil
This additive is an emulsifiable mineral oil with added slushing ingredients. A
thin film of oil forms on the walls of the cooling system. This prevents corro-
sion without interfering with heat transfer, and also prevents limescale depos-
its on the walls of the cooling system.
The significance of emulsifiable corrosion-slushing oils is fading. Oil-based
emulsions are rarely used nowadays for environmental protection reasons

4 Specification for engine supplies


and also because stability problems are known to occur in emulsions.

Anti-freeze agents
If temperatures below the freezing point of water in the engine cannot be
excluded, an antifreeze agent that also prevents corrosion must be added to
the cooling system or corresponding parts. Otherwise, the entire system
must be heated.
Sufficient corrosion protection can be provided by adding the products listed
in the table entitled Antifreeze Agent with Slushing Properties, Page 145
(Military specification: Federal Armed Forces Sy-7025), while observing the
prescribed minimum concentration. This concentration prevents freezing at
2016-03-01 - 1.1

temperatures down to -22 C and provides sufficient corrosion protection.


However, the quantity of antifreeze agent actually required always depends
on the lowest temperatures that are to be expected at the place of use.
Antifreeze agents are generally based on ethylene glycol. A suitable chemical
anticorrosive agent must be added if the concentration of the antifreeze
agent prescribed by the user for a specific application does not provide an

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 141 (270)
4 MAN Diesel & Turbo

appropriate level of corrosion protection, or if the concentration of antifreeze


4.8 Specification of engine cooling water

agent used is lower due to less stringent frost protection requirements and
does not provide an appropriate level of corrosion protection. Considering
that the antifreeze agents listed in the table Antifreeze Agents with Slushing
Properties, Page 145 also contain corrosion inhibitors and their compatibility
with other anticorrosive agents is generally not given, only pure glycol may be
used as antifreeze agent in such cases.
Simultaneous use of anticorrosive agent from the table Chemical additives
nitrite free, Page 145 together with glycol is not permitted, because monitor-
ing the anticorrosive agent concentration in this mixture is no more possible.
Antifreeze agents may only be mixed with one another with the consent of
the manufacturer, even if these agents have the same composition.
Before an antifreeze agent is used, the cooling system must be thoroughly
cleaned.
If the coolant contains emulsifiable slushing oil, antifreeze agent may not be
added as otherwise the emulsion would break up and oil sludge would form
in the cooling system.

Biocides
If you cannot avoid using a biocide because the coolant has been contami-
nated by bacteria, observe the following steps:
You must ensure that the biocide to be used is suitable for the specific
application.
The biocide must be compatible with the sealing materials used in the
coolant system and must not react with these.
The biocide and its decomposition products must not contain corrosion-
promoting components. Biocides whose decomposition products con-
tain chloride or sulphate ions are not permitted.
Biocides that cause foaming of coolant are not permitted.

Prerequisite for effective use of an anticorrosive agent


4 Specification for engine supplies

Clean cooling system


As contamination significantly reduces the effectiveness of the additive, the
tanks, pipes, coolers and other parts outside the engine must be free of rust
and other deposits before the engine is started up for the first time and after
repairs of the pipe system.
The entire system must therefore be cleaned with the engine switched off
using a suitable cleaning agent (see section Cooling water system cleaning,
Page 147).
Loose solid matter in particular must be removed by flushing the system
thoroughly as otherwise erosion may occur in locations where the flow veloc-
ity is high.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

The cleaning agents must not corrode the seals and materials of the cooling
system. In most cases, the supplier of the coolant additive will be able to
carry out this work and, if this is not possible, will at least be able to provide
suitable products to do this. If this work is carried out by the engine operator,
he should use the services of a specialist supplier of cleaning agents. The
cooling system must be flushed thoroughly after cleaning. Once this has

142 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 4

been done, the engine coolant must be immediately treated with anticorro-

4.8 Specification of engine cooling water


sive agent. Once the engine has been brought back into operation, the
cleaned system must be checked for leaks.

Regular checks of the coolant condition and coolant system


Treated coolant may become contaminated when the engine is in operation,
which causes the additive to loose some of its effectiveness. It is therefore
advisable to regularly check the cooling system and the coolant condition. To
determine leakages in the lube oil system, it is advisable to carry out regular
checks of water in the expansion tank. Indications of oil content in water are,
e.g. discoloration or a visible oil film on the surface of the water sample.
The additive concentration must be checked at least once a week using the
test kits specified by the manufacturer. The results must be documented.
Note:
The chemical additive concentrations shall not be less than the minimum
concentrations indicated in the table Nitrite-containing chemical additives,
Page 144.
Excessively low concentrations can promote corrosion and must be avoided.
If the concentration is slightly above the recommended concentration this will
not result in damage. Concentrations that are more than twice the recom-
mended concentration should be avoided.
Every 2 to 6 months, a coolant sample must be sent to an independent labo-
ratory or to the engine manufacturer for an integrated analysis.
Emulsifiable anticorrosive agents must generally be replaced after abt. 12
months according to the supplier's instructions. When carrying this out, the
entire cooling system must be flushed and, if necessary, cleaned. Once filled
into the system, fresh water must be treated immediately.
If chemical additives or antifreeze agents are used, coolant should be
replaced after 3 years at the latest.
If there is a high concentration of solids (rust) in the system, the water must
be completely replaced and entire system carefully cleaned.
Deposits in the cooling system may be caused by fluids that enter the cool-
ant or by emulsion break-up, corrosion in the system, and limescale deposits
if the water is very hard. If the concentration of chloride ions has increased, 4 Specification for engine supplies
this generally indicates that seawater has entered the system. The maximum
specified concentration of 50 mg chloride ions per kg must not be exceeded
as otherwise the risk of corrosion is too high. If exhaust gas enters the cool-
ant, this can lead to a sudden drop in the pH value or to an increase in the
sulphate content.
Water losses must be compensated for by filling with untreated water that
meets the quality requirements specified in the section Requirements, Page
139. The concentration of anticorrosive agent must subsequently be
checked and adjusted if necessary.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Subsequent checks of the coolant are especially required if the coolant had
to be drained off in order to carry out repairs or maintenance.

Protective measures
4.8 Specification of engine cooling water

Anticorrosive agents contain chemical compounds that can pose a risk to


health or the environment if incorrectly used. Comply with the directions in
the manufacturer's material safety data sheets.
Avoid prolonged direct contact with the skin. Wash hands thoroughly after
use. If larger quantities spray and/or soak into clothing, remove and wash
clothing before wearing it again.
If chemicals come into contact with your eyes, rinse them immediately with
plenty of water and seek medical advice.
Anticorrosive agents are generally harmful to the water cycle. Observe the
relevant statutory requirements for disposal.

Auxiliary engines
If the same cooling water system used in a MAN Diesel & Turbo two-stroke
main engine is used in a marine engine of type 16/24, 21/ 31, 23/30H, 27/38
or 28/32H, the cooling water recommendations for the main engine must be
observed.

Analyses
Regular analysis of coolant is very important for safe engine operation. We
can analyse fuel for customers at MAN Diesel & Turbo laboratory PrimeServ-

4.10 Cooling water system cleaning

Summary
Remove contamination/residue from operating fluid systems, ensure/re-
establish operating reliability.
Cooling water systems containing deposits or contamination prevent effec-
tive cooling of parts. Contamination and deposits must be regularly elimina- 4 Specification for engine supplies
ted.
This comprises the following:
Cleaning the system and, if required removal of limescale deposits, flushing
the system.

Cleaning
The coolant system must be checked for contamination at regular intervals.
Cleaning is required if the degree of contamination is high. This work should
2016-03-01 - 1.1

ideally be carried out by a specialist who can provide the right cleaning
agents for the type of deposits and materials in the cooling circuit. The clean-
ing should only be carried out by the engine operator if this cannot be done
by a specialist.
Oil sludge Oil sludge from lubricating oil that has entered the cooling system or a high
concentration of anticorrosive agents can be removed by flushing the system
with fresh water to which some cleaning agent has been added. Suitable

Lime and rust deposits Lime and rust deposits can form if the water is especially hard or if the con-
centration of the anticorrosive agent is too low. A thin lime scale layer can be
left on the surface as experience has shown that this protects against corro-
sion. However, limescale deposits with a thickness of more than 0.5 mm
obstruct the transfer of heat and cause thermal overloading of the compo-
nents being cooled.
Rust that has been flushed out may have an abrasive effect on other parts of
the system, such as the sealing elements of the water pumps. Together with
the elements that are responsible for water hardness, this forms what is
known as ferrous sludge which tends to gather in areas where the flow
velocity is low.
Products that remove limescale deposits are generally suitable for removing
rust. Suitable cleaning agents are listed alphabetically in the table entitled
Cleaning agents for removing lime scale and rust deposits., Page 148 Prod-
ucts by other manufacturers can be used providing they have similar proper-
ties. The manufacturer's instructions for use must be strictly observed. Prior
to cleaning, check whether the cleaning agent is suitable for the materials to
be cleaned. The products listed in the table entitled Cleaning agents for
removing lime scale and rust deposits, Page 148 are also suitable for stain-
less steel.

during application:
Stainless steel heat exchangers must never be treated using diluted
hydrochloric acid.

148 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 4

Cooling systems containing non-ferrous metals (aluminium, red bronze,


brass, etc.) must be treated with deactivated aminosulphonic acid. This

4.11 Specification of intake air (combustion air)


acid should be added to water in a concentration of 3 - 5 %. The tem-
perature of the solution should be 40 - 50 C.
Diluted hydrochloric acid may only be used to clean steel pipes. If hydro-
chloric acid is used as the cleaning agent, there is always a danger that
acid will remain in the system, even when the system has been neutral-
ised and flushed. This residual acid promotes pitting. We therefore rec-
ommend you have the cleaning carried out by a specialist.
The carbon dioxide bubbles that form when limescale deposits are dissolved
can prevent the cleaning agent from reaching boiler scale. It is therefore
absolutely necessary to circulate the water with the cleaning agent to flush
away the gas bubbles and allow them to escape. The length of the cleaning
process depends on the thickness and composition of the deposits. Values
are provided for orientation in the table entitled Cleaning agents for removing
lime scale and rust deposits, Page 148.
Following cleaning The cooling system must be flushed several times once it has been cleaned
using cleaning agents. Replace the water during this process. If acids are
used to carry out the cleaning, neutralise the cooling system afterwards with
suitable chemicals then flush. The system can then be refilled with water that
has been prepared accordingly.
Note:
Start the cleaning operation only when the engine has cooled down. Hot
engine components must not come into contact with cold water. Open the
venting pipes before refilling the cooling water system. Blocked venting pipes
prevent air from escaping which can lead to thermal overloading of the
engine.
Note:
The products to be used can endanger health and may be harmful to the
environment. Follow the manufacturer's handling instructions without fail.
The applicable regulations governing the disposal of cleaning agents or acids
must be observed.

4.11 Specification of intake air (combustion air)


4 Specification for engine supplies
General
The quality and condition of intake air (combustion air) have a significant
effect on the engine output, wear and emissions of the engine. In this regard,
not only are the atmospheric conditions extremely important, but also con-
tamination by solid and gaseous foreign matter.
Mineral dust in the intake air increases wear. Chemicals and gases promote
corrosion.
This is why effective cleaning of intake air (combustion air) and regular main-
tenance/cleaning of the air filter are required.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

When designing the intake air system, the maximum permissible overall pres-
sure drop (filter, silencer, pipe line) of 20 mbar must be taken into considera-
tion.
Exhaust turbochargers for marine engines are equipped with silencers
enclosed by a filter mat as a standard. The quality class (filter class) of the
filter mat corresponds to the G3 quality in accordance with EN 779.

Requirements
4.11 Specification of intake air (combustion air)

Liquid fuel engines: As minimum, inlet air (combustion air) must be cleaned
by a G3 class filter as per EN779, if the combustion air is drawn in from
inside (e.g. from the machine room/engine room). If the combustion air is
drawn in from outside, in the environment with a risk of higher inlet air con-
tamination (e.g. due to sand storms, due to loading and unloading grain
cargo vessels or in the surroundings of cement plants), additional measures
must be taken. This includes the use of pre-separators, pulse filter systems
and a higher grade of filter efficiency class at least up to M5 according to EN
779.
Gas engines and dual-fuel engines: As minimum, inlet air (combustion air)
must be cleaned by a G3 class filter as per EN779, if the combustion air is
drawn in from inside (e.g. from machine room/engine room). Gas engines or
dual-fuel engines must be equipped with a dry filter. Oil bath filters are not
permitted because they enrich the inlet air with oil mist. This is not permissi-
ble for gas operated engines because this may result in engine knocking. If
the combustion air is drawn in from outside, in the environment with a risk of
higher inlet air contamination (e.g. due to sand storms, due to loading and
unloading grain cargo vessels or in the surroundings of cement plants) addi-
tional measures must be taken. This includes the use of pre-separators,
pulse filter systems and a higher grade of filter efficiency class at least up to
M5 according to EN 779.
In general, the following applies:
The inlet air path from air filter to engine shall be designed and implemented
airtight so that no false air may be drawn in from the outdoor.
The concentration downstream of the air filter and/or upstream of the turbo-
charger inlet must not exceed the following limit values.

Figure 45: Coordinate system


Generally flexible pipes (rubber hoses with steel inlet, metal hoses, PTFE-cor-
rugated hose-lines, rubber bellows with steel inlet, steel bellows, steel com-
pensators) are nearly unable to compensate twisting movements. Therefore

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 155 (270)
5 MAN Diesel & Turbo

the installation direction of flexible pipes must be vertically (in Z-direction) if


5.1 Basic principles for pipe selection

ever possible. An installation in horizontal-axial direction (in X-direction) is not


permitted; an installation in horizontal-lateral (Y-direction) is not recommen-
ded.

Flange and screw connections


Flexible pipes delivered loosely by MAN Diesel & Turbo are fitted with flange
connections, for sizes with DN32 upwards. Smaller sizes are fitted with
screw connections. Each flexible pipe is delivered complete with counter
flanges or, those smaller than DN32, with weld-on sockets.

Arrangement of the external piping system


Shipyard's pipe system must be exactly arranged so that the flanges or
screw connections do fit without lateral or angular offset. Therefore it is rec-
ommended to adjust the final position of the pipe connections after engine
alignment is completed.

Figure 46: Arrangement of pipes in system

Installation of hoses
In the case of straight-line-vertical installation, a suitable distance between
the hose connections has to be chosen, so that the hose is installed with a
sag. The hose must not be in tension during operation. To satisfy a correct
sag in a straight-line-vertically installed hose, the distance between the hose
connections (hose installed, engine stopped) has to be approximately 5 %
5 Engine supply systems

shorter than the same distance of the unconnected hose (without sag).
In case it is unavoidable (this is not recommended) to connect the hose in
lateral-horizontal direction (Y-direction) the hose must be installed preferably
with a 90 arc. The minimum bending radii, specified in our drawings, are to
be observed.
Never twist the hoses during installation. Turnable lapped flanges on the
2016-03-01 - 1.1

hoses avoid this.


Where screw connections are used, steady the hexagon on the hose with a
wrench while fitting the nut.
Comply with all installation instructions of the hose manufacturer.
Depending on the required application rubber hoses with steel inlet, metal
hoses or PTFE-corrugated hose lines are used.

Installation of steel compensators

5.1 Basic principles for pipe selection


Steel compensators are used for hot media, e.g. exhaust gas. They can
compensate movements in line and transversal to their centre line, but they
are absolutely unable to compensate twisting movements. Compensators
are very stiff against torsion. For this reason all kind of steel compensators
installed on resilient mounted engines are to be installed in vertical direction.
Note:
Exhaust gas compensators are also used to compensate thermal expansion.
Therefore exhaust gas compensators are required for all type of engine
mountings, also for semi-resilient or rigid mounted engines. But in these
cases the compensators are quite shorter, they are designed only to com-
pensate the thermal expansions and vibrations, but not other dynamic
engine movements.

Angular compensator for fuel oil


The fuel oil compensator, to be used for resilient mounted engines, can be
an angular system composed of three compensators with different charac-
teristics. Please observe the installation instruction indicated on the specific
drawing.

Supports of pipes
Flexible pipes must be installed as near as possible to the engine connection.
On the shipside, directly after the flexible pipe, the pipe is to be fixed with a
sturdy pipe anchor of higher than normal quality. This anchor must be capa-
ble to absorb the reaction forces of the flexible pipe, the hydraulic force of
the fluid and the dynamic force.
Example of the axial force of a compensator to be absorbed by the pipe
anchor:
Hydraulic force
= (Cross section area of the compensator) x (Pressure of the fluid inside)
Reaction force
= (Spring rate of the compensator) x (Displacement of the comp.)
Axial force
= (Hydraulic force) + (Reaction force)
Additionally a sufficient margin has to be included to account for pressure
peaks and vibrations.

5.1 Basic principles for pipe selection


5.1.4 Condensate amount in charge air pipes and air vessels

Figure 48: Diagram condensate amount

The amount of condensate precipitated from the air can be considerablly


high, particularly in the tropics. It depends on the condition of the intake air
(temperature, relative air humidity) in comparison to the charge air after
charge air cooler (pressure, temperature).
It is important, that no condensed water of the intake air/charge air will be led
to the compressor of the turbocharger, as this may cause damages.
In addition the condensed water quantity in the engine needs to be mini-
5 Engine supply systems

mised. This is achieved by controlling the charge air temperature.


How to determine the amount of condensate:
First determine the point I of intersection in the left side of the diagram (intake
air), see figure Diagram condensate amount, Page 159 between the corre-
sponding relative air humidity curve and the ambient air temperature.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Secondly determine the point II of intersection in the right side of the diagram
(charge air) between the corresponding charge air pressure curve and the
charge air temperature. Note that charge air pressure as mentioned in sec-
tion Planning data for emission standard, Page 59 is shown in absolute pres-
sure.
At both points of intersection read out the values [g water/kg air] on the verti-
cally axis.

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 159 (270)
5 MAN Diesel & Turbo

The intake air water content I minus the charge air water content II is the
5.1 Basic principles for pipe selection

condensate amount A which will precipitate. If the calculations result is nega-


tive no condensate will occur.
For an example see figure Diagram condensate amount, Page 159. Intake air
water content 30 g/kg minus 26 g/kg = 4 g of water/kg of air will precipitate.
To calculate the condensate amount during filling of the starting air vessel
just use the 30 bar curve (see figure Diagram condensate amount, Page 159)
in a similar procedure.

Solution acc. to above diagram:

Water content of air according to point of intersection (I) kg of water/kg of air 0.030

Maximum water content of air according to point of intersection (II) kg of water/kg of air 0.026

The difference between (I) and (II) is the condensed water amount (A)
A = I II = 0.030 0.026 = 0.004 kg of water/kg of air

Total amount of condensate QA:


QA = A x le x P
QA = 0.004 x 6.9 x 9,000 = 248 kg/h
In case of two-stage turbocharging choose the values of the high pressure TC and cooler (second stage of turbo-
1)

charging system) accordingly.

2016-03-01 - 1.1

System flow
The lube oil pump draws oil from the oil sump and presses the oil through
the cooler and filter to main lube oil pipe (engine frame), from where the oil is
distributed to the individual lubrication points. From the lubricating points the
oil returns by gravity to the oil sump.

Requirements before commissioning of engine


5.2 Lube oil system

The flushing of the lube oil system in accordance to the MAN Diesel & Turbo
specification (see the relevant working cards) demands before commission-
ing of the engine, that all installations within the system are in proper opera-
tion. Please be aware that special installations for commissioning are
required and the separator must be in operation from the very first phase of
commissioning.
Please contact MAN Diesel & Turbo or licensee for any uncertainties.

T-001/Service tank
As standard the lube oil system is based on wet sump lubrication. The oil
sump has the function of the service tank. The main purpose is to separate
air and particles from the lube oil, before being pumped back to the engine.

H-002/Lube oil heating


The lube oil in the tank and the system shall be heated up to 40 C during
stand-by mode of one engine. A constant circulation through the separate
separator heater is recommended.
For arctic operation conditions the heater capacity has to be increased.

FIL-004/Suction strainer
The suction strainer protects the attached lube oil pumps against larger dirt
particles that may have accumulated in the tank.

P-001/Main lubricating oil pump


The lubricating oil pump is mounted on the free end of the engine and is
driven by means of the crankshaft through a gear. The oil pressure is control-
led by an adjustable spring loaded relief valve.
The pump gear is lubricated by the engines oil flow.

P-007/Prelubricating oil pump


The engine is as standard equipped with an electric driven pump for prelubri-
cation before starting and also for postlubrication when the engine is stop-
ped. The pump, which is of the gear pump type, is self priming. The auto-
matic control of prelubrication must be made by the costumer or can be
5 Engine supply systems

ordered from MAN Diesel & Turbo. The voltage for automatic control must be
supplied from the emergency switchboard in order to secure post- and pre-
lubrication in case of a critical situation.
In case of unintended engine stop (e.g. blackout) the postlubrication must be
started as soon as possible (latest within 20 min.) after the engine has stop-
ped and must persist for minimum 15 min. This is required to cool down the
2016-03-01 - 1.1

bearings of the turbo charger and hot inner components (see also section
Prelubrication/Postlubrication, Page 171).
The lube oil cooler is a plate type cooled from the LT cooling water.
To comply with the rules of classification societies.
To ensure continuous lube oil supply during blackout and emergency
stop for engine run-out.

Dimensioning Heat data, flow rates and tolerances are indicated in section Planning data
for emission standard, Page 59 and the following.
On the lube oil side a pressure drop of max 1.1 bar is required.

TCV-001/Thermostatic valve
The wax type shall regulate the inlet oil temperature of the engine. The valve
has thermostatic elements operating in a temperature range ensuring lube oil
inlet to engine is kept a constant temperature (set point).

FIL-002/Full-flow depth filter


The lubricating oil main filter is a duplex paper cartridge type. It is a depth fil-
ters with a nominal fineness of 10 15 micron, and a safety filter with a fine-
ness of 60 micron.

CF-008 Centrifuge (by-pass filter)


A by-pass filter is optionally and possible as build-on. It's a small centrifuge
removing small impurities and herewith serving as inspection unit for check-
ing the pureness of the fuel oil system.
5 Engine supply systems

Only a small part of the oil main stream is routed through the centrifuge. Its
flow pressure is operating the centrifuge itself. The centrifuge shall be instal-
led as close as possible to the pressure side of the lube oil pump for
improved centrifuge effect.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

PCV-007/Pressure control valve


Capacity and pressure for the main pump must be proper above the
required values for the engine. The regulating valve is a complete mechanical
component consisting of a spring arrangement. Through the small control
pipe line between engine and valve, the engine inlet pressure is adjusted by

sump tank. The valve is equipped with spindle adjustable (by rotating) for set-
ting a fix pressure.

Lube oil treatment


The treatment of the circulating lube oil can be divided into two major func-
tions:
Removal of contaminations to keep up the lube oil performance.
Retention of dirt to protect the engine.
The removal of combustion residues, water and other mechanical contami-
nations is the major task of separators/centrifuges (CF-001) installed in by-
pass to the main lube oil service system of the engine. The installation of a
separator per engine is recommended to ensure a continuous separation
during engine operation.
The filters integrated in the system protect the diesel engine in the main cir-
cuit retaining all residues which may cause a harm to the engine.
Depending on the filter design, the collected residues are to be removed
from the filter mesh by automatic back flushing, manual cleaning or changing
the filter cartridge. The retention capacity of the installed filter should be as
high as possible.
When selecting an appropriate filter arrangement, the customer request for
operation and maintenance, as well as the class requirements, have to be
taken in consideration.

CF-001/Separator
The lube oil is intensively cleaned by separation in the by-pass thus relieving
the filters and allowing an economical design.
The separator should be of the self-cleaning type. The design is to be based
on a lube oil quantity of 1.0 l/kW. This lube oil quantity should be cleaned
within 24 hours at:
HFO-operation 6 7 times
MDO-operation 4 5 times
Dual-fuel engines operating on gas (+MDO/MGO for ignition only) 4 5
times
The formula for determining the separator flow rate (Q) is:
5 Engine supply systems

Q [l/h] Separator flow rate


P [kW] Total engine output
n HFO = 7
MDO/MGO = 5
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Gas (+ MDO/MGO for ignition only) = 5

With the evaluated flow rate the size of separator has to be selected accord-
ing to the evaluation table of the manufacturer. The separator rating stated
by the manufacturer should be higher than the flow rate (Q) calculated
according to the formula above.

Separator equipment

5.2 Lube oil system


The preheater H-002 must be able to heat the oil to 95 C and the size is to
be selected accordingly. In addition to a PI-temperature control, which
avoids a thermal overloading of the oil, silting of the preheater must be pre-
vented by high turbulence of the oil in the preheater.
Control accuracy 1 C.
Cruise ships operating in arctic waters require larger preheaters. In this case
the size of the preheater must be calculated with a t of 60 K.
The freshwater supplied must be treated as specified by the separator sup-
plier.
The supply pumps shall be of the free-standing type, i.e. not mounted on the
separator and are to be installed in the immediate vicinity of the lube oil serv-
ice tank.
This arrangement has three advantages:
Suction of lube oil without causing cavitation.
The lube oil separator does not need to be installed in the vicinity of the
service tank but can be mounted in the separator room together with the
fuel oil separators.
Better matching of the capacity to the required separator throughput.
The condensate traps required for the vent pipe of the turbocharger/crank-
case must be installed as close as possible to the vent connections. The
sump tank is vented through the vent pipes engine. The traps prevent con-
densate water formed on the cold venting pipes, to enter the engine. See
section Crankcase vent and tank vent, Page 171.

T-006/Leakage oil tank


Leaked fuel and the dirty oil drained from the lube oil filter casings is collected
in this tank. It is to be emptied into the sludge tank. The content must not be
added to the fuel. It is not permitted to add lube oil to the fuel.

T-021/Sludge tank
Separated impurities from the lube oil separator module and the content of
the leakage oil tank T-006 are disposed into the sludge tank. The sludge
tank is also part of the fuel oil leakage system. See section Marine diesel oil
(MDO) treatment system, Page 189.

The engine is equipped with an internally electrically driven lube oil pump
supplying the cylinder liners with a proper lube oil pressure. The pump is
operated in the load range 50 100 % and activated from the automation
system of the engine.

Overflow tank
A lube oil overflow tank, connected to the GenSet service tank (T-001), is
necessary, if there is one lube oil separator (CF-001) which serves more than
one engine.

5.2 Lube oil system


5.2.3 Prelubrication/postlubrication

Prelubrication
The prelubrication oil pump must be switched on at least 5 minutes before
engine start. The prelubrication oil pump serves to assist the engine attached
main lube oil pump, until this can provide a sufficient flow rate.

For design data of the pre- and postlubrication pump see section Planning
data for emission standard, Page 59 and paragraph Lube oil, Page 67.
During the starting process, the maximal temperature mentioned in section
Starting conditions, Page 31 must not be exceeded at engine inlet. There-
fore, a small LT cooling waterpump can be necessary if the lube oil cooler is
served only by an attached LT pump.

Postlubrication
The prelubrication oil pumps are also to be used for postlubrication after the
engine is turned off.
Postlubrication is effected for a period of 15 min.

5.2.4 Lube oil preheating


Preheating the lube oil to 40 C is effected by the preheater of the separator
via the free-standing pump. The preheater must be enlarged in size if neces-
sary, to be able to heat the content of the service tank to 40 C, within 4
hours.

5.2.5 Crankcase vent and tank vent

Vent pipes
The vent pipes from engine crankcase, Vent pipes from engine crankcase
are to be arranged according to the sketch. The pipe line design must ensue
sufficient lube oil ventilation avoiding no reduction of the cross section flow
caused from condensed water. The required nominal diameters ND are sta-
ted in the chart following the diagram.

Notes:
The venting pipework must be kept separately for each engine.
Condensate trap overflows are to be connected via siphon to drain pipe
and back to sludge tank.
Specific requirements of the classification societies are to be strictly

observed.
The pipe connection between engine and ventilation line must be flexible.
The ventilation pipe must be made with continuous upward slope min
5 , even when the ship heel or trim (static inclination).
Avoiding condensed water enters the engine, a trap must be installed near
each vent connection of the engine.

2016-03-01 - 1.1

the possibility of heat utilisation in a freshwater generator and equipment for


preheating of the charge air in a two-stage charge air cooler during part load
operation.
Note:
The arrangement of the cooling water system shown here is only one of
many possible solutions. It is recommended to inform MAN Diesel & Turbo in

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 177 (270)
5 MAN Diesel & Turbo

advance in case other arrangements should be desired. In any case two sea
5.3 Water systems

water coolers have to be installed to ensure continous operation while one


cooler is shut off (e.g. for cleaning).
For special applications, e.g. GenSets or dual-fuel engines, supplements will
explain specific necessities and deviations.
For the design data of the system components shown in the diagram see
section Planning data for emission standard: IMO Tier II, Page 59 and follow-
ing sections.
The cooling water is to be conditioned using a corrosion inhibitor, see sec-
tion Specification of engine cooling water, Page 139.
LT = Low temperature
HT = High temperature
Cooler dimensioning, general For coolers operated by seawater (not treated water), lube oil or MDO/MGO
on the primary side and treated freshwater on the secondary side, an addi-
tional safety margin of 10 % related to the heat transfer coefficient is to be
considered. If treated water is applied on both sides, MAN Diesel & Turbo
does not insist on this margin.
In case antifreeze is added to the cooling water, the corresponding lower
heat transfer is to be taken into consideration.
The cooler piping arrangement should include venting and draining facilities
for the cooler.
Open/closed system Open system
Characterised by "atmospheric pressure" in the expansion tank. Pre-pres-
sure in the system, at the suction side of the cooling water pump is given by
the geodetic height of the expansion tank (standard value 6 9 m above
crankshaft of engine).

Closed system
In a closed system, the expansion tank is pressurised and has no venting
connection to open atmosphere. This system is recommended in case the
engine will be operated at cooling water temperatures above 100 C or an
open expansion tank may not be placed at the required geodetic height. Use
air separators to ensure proper venting of the system.
Venting Note:
Insufficient venting of the cooling water system prevents air from escaping
which can lead to thermal overloading of the engine.
5 Engine supply systems

The cooling water system needs to be vented at the highest point in the
cooling system. Additional points with venting lines to be installed in the cool-
ing system according to layout and necessity.
In general LT system and HT system are separate systems, therefore, make
sure that the venting lines are always routed only to the associated expan-
sion tank. The venting pipe must be connected to the expansion tank below
2016-03-01 - 1.1

the minimum water level, this prevents oxydation of the cooling water caused
by "splashing" from the venting pipe. The expansion tank should be equip-
ped with venting pipe and flange for filling of water and inhibitors.
Additional notes regarding venting pipe routing:
The ventilation pipe should be continuously inclined (min. 5 degrees).
No restrictions, no kinks in the ventilation pipes.

178 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 5

Merging of ventilation pipes only permitted with appropriate cross-sec-


tional enlargement.

5.3 Water systems


Draining At the lowest point of the cooling system a drain has to be provided. Addi-
tional points for draining to be provided in the cooling system according to
layout and necessity, e.g. for components in the system that will be removed
for maintenance.

LT cooling water system


In general the LT cooling water passes through the following components:
Stage 2 of the two-stage charge air cooler (HE-008)
Lube oil cooler (HE-002)
Nozzle cooling water cooler (HE-005)
Fuel oil cooler (HE-007)
Alternator cooler (if water cooled) (A-001)
LT cooling water cooler (HE-024)
Other components such as, e.g., main engine for propulsion.
In case an engine driven LT pump is used and no electric driven pump (LT
main pump) is installed in the LT circuit, an LT circulation pump has to be
installed. We recommend an electric driven pump with a capacity of approxi-
mately 5 m3/h at 2 bar pressure head. The pump has to be operated simulta-
neously to the prelubrication pump. In case a 100 % lube oil standby-pump
is installed, the circulation pump has to be increased to the size of a 100 %
LT standby pump to ensure cooling down the lube oil in the cooler during
prelubrication before engine start. For details please contact MAN Diesel &
Turbo.
The system components of the LT cooling water circuit are designed for a
maximum LT cooling water temperature of 38 C with a corresponding sea-
water temperature of 32 C (tropical conditions).
However, the capacity of the LT cooler (HE-024) is determined by the tem-
perature difference between seawater and LT cooling water. Due to this cor-
relation an LT freshwater temperature of 32 C can be ensured at a seawater
temperature of 25 C.
To meet the IMO Tier I/IMO Tier II regulations the set point of the temperature
regulator valve (MOV-016) is to be adjusted to 32 C. However this tempera-
ture will fluctuate and reach at most 38 C with a seawater temperature of 32
C (tropical conditions).
The charge air cooler stage 2 (HE-008) and the lube oil cooler (HE-002) are
5 Engine supply systems

installed in series to obtain a low delivery rate of the LT cooling water pump
(P-076).
P-076/LT cooling water The delivery rates of the service and standby pump are mainly determined by
pump the cooling water required for the charge air cooler stage 2 and the other
coolers.
For operating auxiliary engines (GenSets) in port, the installation of an addi-
2016-03-01 - 1.1

tional smaller pump is recommendable.

control valve for charge air It serves two purposes:
cooler
1. In engine part load operation the charge air cooler stage 2 (HE-008) is
partially or completely by-passed, so that a higher charge air temperature
is maintained.

operation under tropical conditions by regulation of the charge air tem-


perature. Below a certain intake air temperature the charge air tempera-
ture is kept constant. When the intake temperature rises, the charge air
temperature will be increased accordingly.
HE-002/Lube oil cooler For the description see section Lube oil system description, Page 165. For
heat data, flow rates and tolerances see section Planning data for emission
standard, Page 59 and the following. For the description of the principal
design criteria see paragraph Cooler dimensioning, general, Page 178.
HE-024/LT cooling water For heat data, flow rates and tolerances of the heat sources see section
cooler Planning data for emission standard, Page 59 and the following. For the
description of the principal design criteria for coolers see paragraph Cooler
dimensioning, general, Page 178.
MOV-016/LT cooling water This is a motor-actuated three-way regulating valve with a linear characteris-
temperature regulator tic. It is to be installed as a mixing valve. It maintains the LT cooling water at
set-point temperature (32 C standard).
The three-way valve is to be designed for a pressure loss of 0.3 0.6 bar. It
is to be equipped with an actuator with normal positioning speed (high speed
not required). The actuator must permit manual emergency adjustment.
Note:
For engine operation with reduced NOx emission, according to IMO Tier
I/IMO Tier II requirement, at 100 % engine load and a seawater temperature
of 25 C (IMO Tier I/IMO Tier II reference temperature), an LT cooling water
temperature of 32 C before charge air cooler stage 2 (HE-008) is to be
maintained. For other temperatures, the engine setting has to be adapted.
For further details please contact MAN Diesel & Turbo.
Fil-021/Strainer In order to protect the engine and system components, several strainers are
to be provided at the places marked in the diagram before taking the engine
into operation for the first time. The mesh size is 1 mm.
HE-005/Nozzle cooling water The nozzle cooling water system is a separate and closed cooling circuit. It is
cooler cooled down by LT cooling water via the nozzle cooling water cooler
(HE-005).
Heat data, flow rates and tolerances are indicated in section Planning data
for emission standard, Page 59 and the following. The principal design crite-
ria for coolers has been described before in paragraph Cooler dimensioning,
general, Page 178. For plants with two main engines only one nozzle cooling
water cooler (HE-005) is required. As an option a compact nozzle cooling
module (MOD-005) can be delivered, see section Nozzle cooling water mod-
ule, Page 185.
5 Engine supply systems

HE-007/MDO/MGO cooler This cooler is required to dissipate the heat of the fuel injection pumps during
MDO/MGO operation. For the description of the principal design criteria for
coolers see paragraph Cooler dimensioning, general, Page 178. A
MDO/MGO cooler is required for the main fuel oil system, and one addition-
ally for the separate MDO-system.
T-075/LT cooling water The effective tank capacity should be high enough to keep approximately 2/3
2016-03-01 - 1.1

expansion tank of the tank content of T-002. In case of twin-engine plants with a common
cooling water system, the tank capacity should be by approximately 50 %
higher. The tanks T-075 and T-002 should be arranged side by side to facili-
tate installation. In any case the tank bottom must be installed above the
highest point of the LT system at any ship inclination.

HT Cooling water circuit


General The HT cooling water system consists of the following coolers and heat
exchangers:
Charge air cooler stage 1 (HE-010)
Cylinder cooling (D-001)
HT cooling water preheater as build on GenSet or as external unit
(H-027)
The outlet temperature of the cylinder cooling water at the engine must be
85 C.
Each engine has its own individual HT thermostatic valve and an engine
driven HT cooling water pump.
The shipyard is responsible for the correct cooling water distribution, ensur-
ing that each engine will be supplied with cooling water at the flow rates
required by the individual engines, under all operating conditions. To meet
this requirement, e.g., orifices, flow regulation valves, by-pass systems etc.
are to be installed where necessary. Check total pressure loss in HT circuit.
The delivery height of the attached pump must not be exceeded.
H-001/Preheater Before starting a cold engine, it is necessary to preheat the water jacket up
to 60 C.
For the total heating power required, for preheating the HT cooling water
from 10 C to 60 C within 8 hours see table Heating power, Page 181
below.

Engine type L engine


Min. heating power kW 33
Table 99: Heating power

These values include the radiation heat losses from the outer surface of the
engine. Also a margin of 20 % for heat losses of the cooling system has been
considered.
The preheater is to provide heat capacity in the HT cooling water system. In
case engine is put into stand-by mode the preheater is designed keeping the
5 Engine supply systems

temperature of the engine at a sufficient level.


Avoid an installation of the preheater in parallel to the engine driven HT
pump. In this case, the preheater may not be operated while the engine is
running. Preheaters operated on steam or thermal oil may cause alarms
since a postcooling of the heat exchanger is not possible after engine start
(preheater pump is blocked by counterpressure of the engine driven pump).
2016-03-01 - 1.1

An electrically driven pump becomes necessary to circulate the HT cooling


water during preheating. For the required minimum flow rate see table Mini-
mum flow rate during preheating and postcooling, Page 181 below.

The preheating of the main engine with cooling water from auxiliary engines
is also possible, provided that the cooling water is treated in the same way.
In that case, the expansion tanks of the two cooling systems have to be
installed at the same level. Furthermore, it must be checked whether the
available heat is sufficient to pre-heat the main engine. This depends on the
number of auxiliary engines in operation and their load. It is recommended to
install a separate preheater for the main engine, as the available heat from
the auxiliary engines may be insufficient during operation in port.
As an option MAN Diesel & Turbo can supply a compact preheating module
(MOD-004). One module for each main engine is recommended. Depending
on the plant layout, also two engines can be heated by one module.
Please contact MAN Diesel & Turbo to check the hydraulic cirquit and elec-
tric connections.
HT temperature control The wax type valve regulates the HT cooling water leaving the engine. The
valve has thermostatic elements operating in a temperature range for a keep-
ing a constant temperature. Set point is 85 C.

pumps Design flow rates should not be exceeded by more than 15 % to avoid cavi-
tation in the engine and its systems. A throttling orifice is to be fitted for
adjusting the specified operating point.
T-002/HT cooling water The expansion tank compensates changes in system volume and losses due
expansion tank to leakages. It is to be arranged in such a way, that the tank bottom is situ-
ated above the highest point of the system at any ship inclination.
The expansion pipe shall connect the tank with the suction side of the
pump(s), as close as possible. It is to be installed in a steady rise to the
expansion tank, without any air pockets. Minimum required diameter is
DN 32 for L engines.

5.3.4 Cooling water collecting and supply system

T-074/Cooling water collecting tank


The tank is to be dimensioned and arranged in such a way that the cooling
water content of the circuits of the cylinder, turbocharger and nozzle cooling
systems can be drained into it for maintenance purposes.
This is necessary to meet the requirements with regard to environmental pro-
tection (water has been treated with chemicals) and corrosion inhibition (re-
use of conditioned cooling water).

P-031/Transfer pump (not indicated in the diagram)


The content of the collecting tank can be discharged into the expansion
tanks by a freshwater transfer pump.

5.3.5 Miscellaneous items

Piping
Coolant additives may attack a zinc layer. It is therefore imperative to avoid to
use galvanised steel pipes. Treatment of cooling water as specified by MAN
Diesel & Turbo will safely protect the inner pipe walls against corrosion.
Moreover, there is the risk of the formation of local electrolytic element cou-
ples where the zinc layer has been worn off, and the risk of aeration corro-
sion where the zinc layer is not properly bonded to the substrate.
See the instructions in our Work card 6682 000.16-01E for cleaning of steel
pipes before fitting.
Pipes shall be manufactured and assembled in a way that ensures a proper
draining of all segments. Venting is to be provided at each high point of the
pipe system and drain openings at each low point.
Cooling water pipes are to be designed according to pressure values and
flow rates stated in section Planning data for emission standard, Page 59
and the following sections. The engine cooling water connections have to be
designed according to PN10/PN16.

Turbocharger washing equipment


The turbocharger of engines operating on heavy fuel oil must be cleaned at
5 Engine supply systems

regular intervals. This requires the installation of a freshwater supply line from
the sanitary system to the turbine washing equipment and two dirty-water
drain pipes via a funnel (for visual inspection) to the sludge tank.
The water lance must be removed after every washing process. This is a pre-
cautionary measure, which serves to prevent an inadvertent admission of
water to the turbocharger.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

The compressor washing equipment is completely mounted on the turbo-


charger and is supplied with freshwater from a small tank.
For further information see the turbocharger project guide. You can also find

schematic diagram. Cooling of the nozzle cooling water is effected by the LT
cooling water.
If an antifreeze is added to the cooling water, the resulting lower heat transfer
rate must be taken into consideration. The cooler is to be provided with vent-
ing and draining facilities.
TCV-005/Temperature The temperature control valve with thermal-expansion elements regulates the
control valve flow through the cooler to reach the required inlet temperature of the nozzle
cooling water. It has a regulating range from approximately 50 C (valve
begins to open the pipe from the cooler) to 60 C (pipe from the cooler com-
pletely open).

5.3.7 Nozzle cooling water module

Nozzle cooling system description


General In HFO operation, the nozzles of the fuel injection valves are cooled by fresh-
5 Engine supply systems

water circulation, therefore a nozzle cooling water system is required. It is a


separate and closed system re-cooled by the LT cooling water system, but
not directly in contact with the LT cooling water. The nozzle cooling water is
to be treated with corrosion inhibitor according to MAN Diesel & Turbo speci-
fication see section Specification for engine cooling water, Page 139.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Note:
In diesel engines designed to operate prevalently on HFO the injection valves
are to be cooled during operation on HFO. In the case of MGO or MDO
operation exceeding 72 h, the nozzle cooling is to be switched off and the
supply line is to be closed. The return pipe has to remain open.

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 185 (270)
5 MAN Diesel & Turbo

In diesel engines designed to operate exclusively on MGO or MDO (no HFO


5.3 Water systems

operation possible), nozzle cooling is not required. The nozzle cooling system
is omitted.

Purpose
The nozzle cooling water module serves for cooling the fuel injection nozzles
on the engine in a closed nozzle cooling water circuit.

Design
The nozzle cooling water module consists of a storage tank, on which all
components required for nozzle cooling are mounted.

Description
By means of a circulating pump, the nozzle cooling water is pumped from
the service tank through a heat exchanger and to the fuel injection nozzles.
The return pipe is routed back to the service tank, via a sight glass. Through
the sight glass, the nozzle cooling water can be checked for contamination.
The heat exchanger is integrated in the LT cooling water system. By means
of a temperature control valve, the nozzle cooling water temperature
upstream of the nozzles is kept constant. The performance of the service
pump is monitored within the module by means of a flow switch. If required,
the optional standby pump integrated in the module, is started. Throughput
0.8 10.0 m/h nozzle cooling water, suitable for cooling of all number of cyl-
inders of the current engine types and for single or double engine plants.
Required flow rates for the respective engine types and number of cylinders
see section Planning data for emission standard, Page 59 and the following.

5.4 Fuel oil system

5.4.1 General
Modern fuel oil systems for auxiliary generator engines in MAN Diesel &
Turbo Holeby-design (in short words: H-GenSets) are built as multi-engine
5 Engine supply systems

plants, to support a main propulsion engine (i.e. a two-stroke main engine in


container vessel (CV)).
Specialities of the Holeby- The GenSets external fuel system consists of a main HFO/DO piping, and a
concept MAN L32/44 second, parallel pure DO-system.
GenSet Tier II This second DO-circuit was developed as a short-time emergency- and
2016-03-01 - 1.1

maintenance system. Therefore it is possible to operate i.e. three auxiliary-


GenSets in HFO-mode, and one auxiliary-GenSet temporary in DO-mode.
Fuel types Due to different local emission requirements in ports between Asia and
Europe CVs must operate today with different fuel types: DMA, DMB, Low
sulphur-HFO, HFO. Therefore you will find a complex system with different
fuel tanks, and possibilities for a global fuel type switch-over (all engines get
the same fuel type) and a GenSet individual switch-over.

188 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 5

Especially the high viscosity-high density HFO-fuel types in ISO 8217 (RMK-

5.4 Fuel oil system


fuels) are challenging for the fuel treatment- and supply system. On the other
side of the fuel range there are the new ultra-low-sulphur fuels to be uesd in
SECAs (start in January 2015).
A new feature is the clean leakage fuel re-use in DO-operation (= highest
cost advantage for customer), means the clean leakages can be transferred
mandatory into a tank before the DO-separator.
If the engine is equipped with Sealed Plunger (SP) pumps, its leakage will be
reused. The MAN L32/44 engine of the auxiliary GenSet is equipped with SP
pumps by default. For the MAN L32/40 auxiliary GenSet SP pumps can be
ordered optionally, instead of the standard injection pumps. When using
standard injection pumps, the leakage (lube oil contaminated) must be gui-
ded separately into the sludge tank.
Therefore the following fuel system descriptions for the MAN L32/44 auxiliary
GenSet are a further development, based on abovementioned different
requirements, on field experiences with MAN L32/40 H-GenSets and of
course on the MAN 32/40 main propulsion application.
Under these conditions also the requirements of the well known unifuel-sys-
tem (= two-stroke main engine and auxiliary-engines together supplied by
same fuel module) are included. This concept remains unchanged.
The following diagrams are examples for guidance. They have to be adapted
to the actual engine- and piping layout of every single project.
Mixing of fuels Incompatibility reactions with other fuels during mixing in tanks or during
switch-over may occur and lead to damages of the engine and the plant sys-
tem. To avoid incompatibility reactions it is recommended to check the com-
patibility, especially of ULSHFO with HFO, by lab (e.g. PrimeServLab) or with
onboard kit before bunkering. Suitable test methods follow ASTM D7060 or
ISO 10307-2 or ASTM 4740 as quick test for rough estimation.

5.4.2 Marine diesel oil (MDO) treatment system

The following MDO-related descriptions are also valid for this second parallel
DO-circuit.
In this section MDO is a synonym for destillate fuel according ISO 8217, i.e.
DMA/DMB-grade.
A prerequisite for safe and reliable engine operation with a minimum of serv-
icing is a properly designed and well-functioning fuel oil treatment system.
5 Engine supply systems

The schematic diagram shows the system components required for fuel
treatment for marine diesel oil (MDO).

T-015/MDO storage tank


The minimum effective capacity of the tank should be sufficient for the opera-
2016-03-01 - 1.1

tion of the propulsion plant, as well as for the operation of the auxiliary die-
sels for the maximum duration of voyage including the resulting sediments
and water. Regarding the tank design, the requirements of the respective
classification society are to be observed.
The tank design should follow the design of the DO-service tank T-003, i.e. a
must is a 10 sloped bottom.

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 189 (270)
5 MAN Diesel & Turbo

Tank heating The tank heater must be designed so that the MDO in it is at a temperature
5.4 Fuel oil system

of at least 10 C minimum above the pour point. The supply of the heating
medium must be automatically controlled as a function of the MDO tempera-
ture.

T-021/Sludge tank
If disposal by an incinerator plant is not planned, the tank has to be dimen-
sioned so that it is capable to absorb all residues which accumulate during
the operation in the course of a maximum duration of voyage. In order to
render emptying of the tank possible, it has to be heated.
The heating is to be dimensioned so that the content of the tank can be
heated to approximately 40 C.

P-073/MDO supply pump


The supply pumps should always be electrically driven, i.e. not mounted on
the separator, as the delivery volume can be matched better to the required
throughput.

H-019/MDO preheater
In order to achieve the separating temperature, a separator adapted to suit
the fuel viscosity should be fitted (DO-separation temperature: 40 C, see in
every case separator maker manual).

CF-003/MDO separator
A self-cleaning separator must be provided. The separator is dimensioned in
accordance with the separator manufacturers' guidelines.
The required flow rate (Q) can be roughly determined by the following equa-
tion:

Q [l/h] Separator flow rate


P [kW] Total engine output
be [g/kWh] Fuel consumption
[g/l] Density at separating temp approximately 870 kg/m3 =
g/dm3
5 Engine supply systems

With the evaluated flow rate, the size of the separator has to be selected
according to the evaluation table of the manufacturer. The separator rating
stated by the manufacturer should be higher than the flow rate (Q) calculated
according to the above formula.
By means of the separator flow rate, which was determined in this way, the
separator type, depending on the fuel viscosity, is selected from the lists of
2016-03-01 - 1.1

the separator manufacturers.


For the first estimation of the maximum fuel consumption (be), increase the
specific table value by 15 %, see section Planning data, Page 59.

5.4.3 Marine diesel oil (MDO) supply system for diesel engines

General
In most cases the auxiliary GenSets are supplied with HFO or MDO by one
fuel system together with the main engine(s). See section Heavy fuel oil (HFO)
supply system, Page 206. Often a second MDO supply system is installed in
parallel to the main fuel system, connected only to the auxiliary GenSets. It
was developed as a short-time emergency- and maintenance system and
is an open system using the same open deaeration service tanks, used for
the main fuel system.

MDO fuel viscosity


MDO-DMB with a maximum nominal viscosity of 11 cSt (at 40 C), or lighter
MDO qualities (DMA, DMZ), can be used.
At engine inlet the MDO-fuel viscosity should be 11 cSt or less. The fuel tem-
perature has to be adapted accordingly. It is also to make sure, that the
MDO fuel temperature of maximum 45 C in engine inlet (for all MDO quali-
ties) is not exceeded. Therefore a tank heating and a cooler in the fuel return
pipe are required.

T-003/MDO service tank


The classification societies specify that at least two service tanks are to be
installed on board. Advantage: one for engine supply, one for receiving sepa-
rated DO. In case of two destillate MDO-fuel types (LS-DO, HS-DO) also the
amount of service tanks must be doubled. The minimum tank capacity of
each tank should, in addition to the MDO consumption of other consumers,
enable a full load operation of minimum 8 operating hours for all engines
under all conditions.
To fulfil this requirement it is necessary to fit the DO service tank T-003 with
overflow pipes, which are connected with DO storage tank T-015. The tank
capacity is to be designed for at least eight-hours fuel supply at full load so
as to provide for a sufficient period of time for separator maintenance, see
DO treatment diagram, Page 192.
The sludge must be drained from the service tank at regular intervals.
5 Engine supply systems

The tank should be provided with a sludge space with a tank bottom inclina-
tion of preferably 10 and sludge drain valves at the lowest point, an over-
flow pipe from the MDO/MGO service tank T-003 to the MDO/MGO storage
tank T-015, with heating coils and insulation.
If DMB fuel with 11 cSt (at 40 C) is used, the tank heating is to be designed
to keep the tank temperature at minimum 40 C.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

For lighter types of MDO it is recommended to heat the tank in order to


reach a fuel viscosity of 11 cSt or less. Rules and regulations for tanks,
issued by the classification societies, must be observed.

In case more than one engine, or different engines are connected to the
same fuel system, the service tank capacity has to be increased accordingly.

STR-010/Y-type strainer
To protect the fuel supply pumps, an approximately 0.5 mm gauge (sphere-
passing mesh) strainer is to be installed at the suction side of each supply
pump.

P-008/Booster pump
The booster pump shall keep sufficient fuel pressure before the engine.
The volumetric capacity must be at least 300 % of the maximum fuel con-
sumption of the engine, including margins for:

FIL-003/Automatic filter

5.4 Fuel oil system


The automatic filter should be a type that causes no pressure drop in the
system during flushing sequence. The filter mesh size shall be 0.010 mm.
The automatic filter must be equipped with differential pressure indication
and switches.
The design criterion relies on the filter surface load, specified by the filter
manufacturer.
MDO supply systems for A by-pass pipe in parallel to the automatic filter is required. A stand-by filter
more than one engine in the by-pass is not required. In case of maintenance on the automatic filter,
the by-pass is to be opened; the fuel is then filtered by the duplex filter
FIL-013.

FIL-013/Duplex filter
At MAN L32/44- and at MAN 32/40 H-GenSets the duplex filter is attached.
See description in paragraph FIL-013/Duplex filter, Page 211.

system. Once these valves are adjusted, they have to be blocked and must
not be manipulated later.

MDO supply systems for In case two engines are operated with one fuel module, it has to be possible
more than one engine to separate one engine at a time from the fuel circuit for maintenance purpo-
ses. In order to avoid a pressure increase in the pressurised system, the fuel,
which cannot circulate through the shut-off engine, has to be rerouted via
this valve into the return pipe.
This valve is to be adjusted so that rerouting is effected only when the pres-

ded. This valve should be designed as a pressure relief valve, not as a safety
valve.

The MDO cooler is required to cool down the fuel, which was heated up
while circulating through the injection pumps. The MDO cooler is normally
connected to the LT cooling water system and should be dimensioned so
that the MDO does not exceed a temperature of max. 45 C.

be increased accordingly.
1)
This temperature has to be normally max. 45 C. Only for very light MGO fuel types this temperature has to be even
lower in order to preserve the min. admissible fuel viscosity in engine inlet (see section Viscosity-temperature diagram
(VT diagram), Page 137).
2)
The max. MDO/MGO throughput is identical to the delivery quantity of the installed supply pump P-008.
Table 103: Calculation of cooler design

The recommended pressure class of the MDO cooler is PN16.

PCV-008/Pressure retaining valve


Pressure retaining valve is only necessary in the second parallel DO-circuit of
5 Engine supply systems

the H-GenSets.
In open fuel supply systems (fuel loop with circulation through the service
tank; service tank under atmospheric pressure) this pressure-retaining valve
is required to keep the system pressure to a certain value against the service
tank. It is to be adjusted so that the pressure before engine inlet can be
maintained in the required range (see section Operating/service temperatures
2016-03-01 - 1.1

and pressures, Page 65).

FSH-001/Leakage fuel monitoring tank (in DO- and HFO-mode)


At MAN L32/44- and at MAN L32/40 H-GenSets this monitoring tank is
attached on the GenSet (GenSet information, see paragraph Fuel oil system
internal GenSet, Page 205).

196 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 5

By a float switch the leakage fuel (transferred via pipe 5141 to FSH-001) will

5.4 Fuel oil system


be monitored for:
+ High pressure pipes leakages (as burst control).
+ SP Injection Pumps leakages (operating leakages).
A high flow of leakage oil will occur in case of a pipe break, for short time
only (< 1 minute). Engine will run down immediately after a pipe break alarm.
The float switch mounted in the tanks must be connected to the alarm sys-
tem. All parts of the monitored leakage system (pipes and monitoring tank)
have to be designed for a fuel rate of 6.7l/cyl. x minute.
The classification societies require the installation of monitoring tanks for
unmanned engine rooms. Lloyd's Register specify monitoring tanks for man-
ned engine rooms as well.

GenSet yard connection 5173 for leakage fuel re-use


Transfered via pipe 5143 will be
+ Injection valve leakages (operating leakages).
This and the leakage fuel drain from FSH-001 are connected to 5173 for
leakage fuel re-use.

T-006/Leakage oil collecting tank


Leakage fuel from the yard connections 9141 and 9143 and dirt fuel oil from
the filters (to be discharged by gravity) are collected in the leakage oil collect-
ing tank (1T-006). The content of this tank has to be discharged into the
sludge tank (T-021), or it can be burned for instance in a waste oil boiler. It is
not allowed to add the content of the tank to the fuel treatment system
again, because of contamination with lube oil (= fuel separation problems by
lube oil additives).
Leakage fuel flows pressure less (by gravity only) from the engine into this
tank (to be installed below the engine connections). Pipe clogging must be
avoided by a sufficient downward slope and in case of HFO additional by
trace heating. Dirty oil drain from crankcase foot also guided into T-006.

T-071/Clean leakage fuel oil tank


Leakage fuel via yard connection 5173 is lead to an extra clean leakage fuel
oil collecting tank. From there it can be emptied into the HFO settling tank.
When the fuel oil system is running in MDO-mode, clean leakage can be
5 Engine supply systems

pumped to the MDO storage tank. The MOV-017 is switching between HFO
settling tank and MDO storage tank.
Note:
Get sure, that no more HFO is in the clean leakage fuel oil tank before pump-
ing the leakage fuel to the MDO storage tank.

FQ-003/Fuel consumption meter


In case a fuel oil consumption measurement is required (not mentioned in the
diagram), a fuel oil consumption meter is to be installed upstream and down-
stream of each engine (differentiation measurement).

General notes for GenSets


The arrangement of the final fuel filter directly upstream of the engine inlet
(the duplex filter FIL-013) has to ensure that no parts of the filter itself can be
loosen.
The pipe between the final filter and the engine inlet has to be done as short
as possible and is to be cleaned and treated with particular care to prevent
damages (loosen objects/parts) to the engine. At GenSets this must be done
in the engine factory, then all ship yard flanges must be closed and sealed
before delivery (= "clean GenSet to ship"). Valves or components shall not be
installed in this pipe. For commissioning of GenSets the ship yard pipes must
be flushed without engine/GenSet. After this flushing the last pipes before
GenSet must be inspected. It is required to dismantle this pipe completely in
presents of our commissioning personnel for a complete visual inspection of
all internal parts before the first engine start. Therefore flange pairs have to
be provided on eventually installed bands.
For the fuel piping system we recommend to maintain a MDO flow velocity
between 0.5 and 1.0 m/s in suction pipes and between 1.5 and 2 m/s in
pressure pipes. The recommended pressure class for the fuel pipes is PN16.

5.4.4 Heavy fuel oil (HFO) treatment system


A prerequisite for safe and reliable engine operation with a minimum of serv-
icing is a properly designed and well-functioning fuel oil treatment system.
The schematic diagram shows the system components required for fuel
treatment for heavy fuel oil (HFO).

Bunker
Fuel compatibility problems are avoidable if mixing of newly bunkered fuel
5 Engine supply systems

with remaining fuel can be prevented by a suitable number of bunkers. Heat-


ing coils in bunkers to be designed so that the HFO in it is at a temperature
of at least 10 C minimum above the pour point.

P-038/Transfer pump
2016-03-01 - 1.1

The transfer pump discharges fuel from the bunkers into the settling tanks.
Being a screw pump, it handles the fuel gently, thus prevent water being
emulsified in the fuel. Its capacity must be sized so that complete settling
tank can be filled in 2 hours.

198 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 5

T-016/Settling tank for HFO

5.4 Fuel oil system


Two settling tanks should be installed, in order to obtain thorough pre-clean-
ing and to allow fuels of different origin to be kept separate. When using RM-
fuels we recommend two settling tanks for each fuel type (High sulphur HFO,
low sulphur HFO).
Reason: To give more settling time for especially small and light foreign parti-
cles.
Size Pre-cleaning by settling is the more effective the longer the solid material is
given time to settle. The storage capacity of the settling tank should be
designed to hold at least a 24-hour supply of fuel at full load operation,
including sediments and water the fuel contains.
The minimum volume (V) to be provided is:

V [m3] Minimum volume


P [kW] Engine rating

Tank heating The heating surfaces should be so dimensioned that the tank content can be
evenly heated to 75 C within 6 to 8 hours. The supply of heat should be
automatically controlled, depending upon the fuel oil temperature.
In order to avoid:
Agitation of the sludge due to heating, the heating coils should be
arranged at a sufficient distance from the tank bottom.
The formation of asphaltene, the fuel oil temperature should not be per-
missible to exceed 75 C.
The formation of carbon deposits on the heating surfaces, the heat
transferred per unit surface must not exceed 1.1 W/cm2.
Design The tank is to be fitted with baffle plates in longitudinal and transverse direc-
tion in order to reduce agitation of the fuel in the tank in rough seas as far as
possible. The suction pipe of the separator must not reach into the sludge
space. One or more sludge drain valves, depending on the slant of the tank
bottom (preferably 10), are to be provided at the lowest point. Tanks reach-
ing to the ship hull must be heat loss protected by a cofferdam. The settling
tank is to be insulated against thermal losses.
Sludge must be removed from the settling tank before the separators draw
fuel from it.

5.4 Fuel oil system

The supply pumps should preferably be of the free-standing type, i. e. not


mounted on the separator, as the delivery volume can be matched better to
the required throughput.

H-008/Preheater for HFO-separator


To reach the separating temperature a preheater matched to the fuel viscos-
ity has to be installed.
A reliable temperature control (setpoint 98 C 1 C for HFO) for different
fuel flows to the separator must be installed.

CF-002/Separator
Main principle in separators as well as in settling tanks is the density differ-
ence between fuel oil and particles and water (= have a higher density as fuel
oil/ HFO).
Small particles will settle very slowly, especially in RMK-fuels with high vis-
cosity/ high density.
As a rule, poor quality, high viscosity fuel is used. For each HFO-type two
new generation separators must therefore be installed, which are also capa-
ble to clean fuels with a density up to 1,010 kg/m (referring to 15 C).
Recommended separator manufacturers and types:
Alfa Laval: Alcap, type SU
Westfalia: Unitrol, type OSE
Separators must always be provided in sets of 2 of the same type
1 service separator
1 stand-by separator
of self-cleaning type.
The freshwater supplied to the separator must be treated as specified by its
manufacturer.
Mode of operation The purpose of defining the operation parameters is to raise the separator
efficiency up to 98 %. Based on the separator makers recommendations and
guidelines the separator cleaning efficiency can be increased by several
options.
Number of separators in operation
5 Engine supply systems

The stand-by separator is always to be put into service, to achieve the


best possible fuel cleaning effect with the separator plant as installed.
The piping of both separators is to be arranged in accordance with the
makers advice, preferably for both parallel and series operation. Separa-
tor operation in parallel means each unit works with i.e. a 50 %-flow rate
of the separator design-flow (design-flow determined via separator
maker evaluation table, and below formula for the estimated design flow
2016-03-01 - 1.1

rate, both based on the 100 %-engine load fuel consumption). More
hints for the differences between design flow and different possible oper-
ation flow can be found in the separator maker manuals. The discharge
flow of the freestanding dirty oil pump is to be split up equally between
the two separators in parallel operation.
Fuel temperature at separator inlet

The fuel oil preheater H-008 must have a sufficient capacity, to heat the
fuel at a maximum flow rate up to 98 C. Especially at high viscosity-high

5.4 Fuel oil system


density fuels (RMK-fuels) a longer HFO residence time in each separator
in combination with a high separation inlet temperature can reduce the
amount of small and light foreign particles (i.e. cat fines in the range of 5
micron to 10 micron).
Fuel flow rate
Generally the engines are not running all together and not always at 100
% load. Hence the actual fuel consumption is lower than the design flow
rate and allows a reduction of the separator flow rate depending on the
engines load. One simple method of determining the fuel consumption is
to measure the fuel tank levels and adjust the flow manually. But there
are also systems available which are able to optimise the flow rate via the
separator control in dependence of continuously consumption measure-
ment.
Homogenisation
Also any fuel emulsifications/homogenisations before separators are
counterproductive not permissible, because then foreign particles etc.
can never be removed.
Various operating parameters affect the separation efficiency. These include
temperature (which controls both, fuel oil viscosity and density), flow rate and
separator maintenance. Figure Separation efficiency dependence on particle
size, density difference, viscosity andflowrate, Page 201 shows, how the
operating parameters affect the separator efficiency.

Figure 58: Separation efficiency dependence on particle size, density difference, viscosity and flow rate

Size The required design flow rate (Q) can be roughly determined by the following
equation:

[g/l] Density at separating temp approximately 930 kg/m3 =

With the evaluated flow rate, the size of the separator has to be selected
according to the evaluation table of the manufacturer. The separator rating
stated by the manufacturer should be higher than the flow rate (Q) calculated
according to the above formula.
By means of the separator flow rate, which was determined in this way, the
separator type, depending on the fuel viscosity, is selected from the lists of
the separator manufacturers.

lems in conventional, pressureless systems.
General information The common fuel feed system is a pressurised system, consisting of HFO
supply pumps, HFO circulating pumps, preheater, diesel cooler and equip-
ment for controlling the viscosity, (e.g. a viskosimeter). The fuel oil is led from
the service tank to one of the electrically driven supply pumps. It delivers the
fuel oil with a pressure of approximately 4 bar to the low-pressure side of the
fuel oil system thus avoiding boiling of the fuel in the mixing tank. From the
low-pressure part of the fuel system the fuel oil is led to one of the electrically
driven circulating pumps which pumps the fuel oil through a preheater to the
engines.
The mixing tank is connected to the service tank via an automatic de-aera-
tion valve that will release any gases present. To ensure ample filling of the
fuel injection pumps the capacity of the electrically driven circulating pumps
must be three times higher the amount of fuel consumed by the diesel
engine at 100 % load. The surplus amount of fuel oil is re-circulated in the
engine and back through the venting pipe. To have a constant fuel pressure
to the fuel injection pumps during all engine loads a spring-loaded overflow
valve is inserted in the fuel system. The circulating pump pressure should be
as specified in section Engine and operation, Page 13.
The circulating pumps will always be running; even if the propulsion engine
(UNI-fuel system) and one or several of the GenSets are stopped. Circulation
of heated heavy fuel oil through the fuel system on the engine(s) keep them
ready to start with preheated fuel injection pumps and the fuel valves deaer-
ated.
Depending on system layout, viscosity, and volume in the external fuel oil
system, unforeseen pressure fluctuations can be observed.
In such cases it could be necessary to add pressure dampers to the fuel oil
system. For further assistanece, please contact MAN Diesel & Turbo.
In addition to the normal common fuel change over valve CK-002 for all Gen-
Sets there are installed two 3-way-valves CK-006/CK-007, close to the inlet/
outlet connections of each GenSet (Shipyard scope of supply).
5 Engine supply systems

Through these valves it is possible to do also a GenSet individual fuel change


over from HFO to DO and vice versa (at engine stop, more described in the
following sections).

The tank should have a sludge space with a tank bottom inclination of pref-
erably 10, with sludge drain valves at the lowest point, and is to be equip-
ped with heating coils.
The sludge must be drained from the service tank at regular intervals.
The heating coils are to be designed for a tank temperature of 75 C.
The rules and regulations for tanks issued by the classification societies must

In case of continuos MDO/MGO operation, a water cooled fuel oil cooler is
required to keep the fuel oil temperature below 45 C.

pensate the influence (flow distribution due to pressure losses) of the piping
system. Once these valves are adjusted, they have to be blocked and must
not be manipulated later.

FSH-001/Leakage fuel monitoring tank (in DO- and HFO-mode)


At MAN L32/44- and at MAN L32/40 H-GenSets this monitoring tank is
attached on the GenSet (GenSet information, see paragraph Fuel oil system
internal GenSet, Page 205).
By a float switch the leakage fuel (transferred via pipe 5141 to FSH-001) will
be monitored for:
+ High pressure pipes leakages (as burst control).
+ SP Injection Pumps leakages (operating leakages).
A high flow of leakage oil will occur in case of a pipe break, for short time
only (< 1 minute). Engine will run down immediately after a pipe break alarm.
The float switch mounted in the tanks must be connected to the alarm sys-
tem. All parts of the monitored leakage system (pipes and monitoring tank)
have to be designed for a fuel rate of 6.7l/cyl. x minute.
The classification societies require the installation of monitoring tanks for
unmanned engine rooms. Lloyd's Register specify monitoring tanks for man-
ned engine rooms as well.

T-006/Leakage oil collecting tank


Leakage fuel from the yard connections 9141 and 9143 and dirt fuel oil from
the filters (to be discharged by gravity) are collected in the leakage oil collect-
ing tank (1T-006). The content of this tank has to be discharged into the
sludge tank (T-021), or it can be burned for instance in a waste oil boiler. It is
2016-03-01 - 1.1

not allowed to add the content of the tank to the fuel treatment system
again, because of contamination with lube oil (= fuel separation problems by
lube oil additives).
Leakage fuel flows pressure less (by gravity only) from the engine into this
tank (to be installed below the engine connections). Pipe clogging must be
avoided by a sufficient downward slope and in case of HFO additional by
trace heating. Dirty oil drain from crankcase foot also guided into T-006.

Leakage fuel via yard connection 5173 is lead to an extra clean leakage fuel
oil collecting tank. From there it can be emptied into the HFO settling tank.
When the fuel oil system is running in MDO-mode, clean leakage can be
pumped to the MDO storage tank. The MOV-017 is switching between HFO

ing the leakage fuel to the MDO storage tank.

HE-007/CK-003 MDO/MGO cooler/three way cock


The propose of the MDO/MGO cooler is to ensure that the viscosity of
MDO/MGO will not become too fluid in engine inlet.
With CK-003, the MDO/MGO cooler HE-007 has to be opened when the
engine is switched from HFO to MDO/MGO operation.
That way, the MDO/MGO, which was heated while circulating via the injec-
tion pumps, is re-cooled before it is returned to the mixing tank T-011.
Switching on the MDO/MGO cooler may be effected only after flushing the
pipes with MDO/MGO.
The MDO/MGO cooler is cooled by LT cooling water.
The thermal design of the cooler is based on the following data:

Note:
5.4 Fuel oil system

In case more than one engine, or different engines are connected to the same fuel system, the cooler capacity has to
be increased accordingly.
1)
This temperature has to be normally maximum 45 C. Only for very light MGO fuel types this temperature has to be
even lower in order to preserve the minimum admissible fuel viscosity in engine inlet (see section Viscosity-tempera-
ture diagram (VT diagram), Page 137).
2)
The maximum MDO/MGO throughput is identical to the delivery quantity of the installed booster pump.
Table 113: Simplified MDO-cooler dimensioning for engines without common rail (MAN 32/40,
MAN 48/60B, MAN 51/60DF)

The recommended pressure class of the MDO cooler is PN16.


The viscosity of gas oil or diesel fuel (marine diesel oil) upstream of the engine
must be at least 1.9 mm2/s. If a water cooled MDO/MGO cooler is not suffi-
cient to keep the viscosity above that value, it is recommended to install a so
called "Chiller" which removes heat through vapour compression or an
absorption refrigeration cycle.

PCV-011/Spill valve
HFO supply systems for In case two engines are operated with one fuel module, it has to be possible
more than one engine to separate one engine at a time from the fuel circuit for maintenance purpo-
ses. In order to avoid a pressure increase in the pressurised system, the fuel,
which cannot circulate through the shut-off engine, has to be rerouted via
this valve into the return pipe. This valve is to be adjusted so that rerouting is
effected only when the pressure, in comparison to normal operation (multi-
engine operation), is exceeded. This valve should be designed as a pressure
relief valve, not as a safety valve.
HFO supply systems for The stop cock is closed during normal operation (multi-engine operation).
more than one engine When one engine is separated from the fuel circuit for maintenance purpo-
ses, this cock has to be opened manually.

T-008/Fuel oil damper tank


The injection nozzles cause pressure peaks in the pressurised part of the fuel
system. In order to protect the viscosity measuring and control unit, these
pressure peaks have to be equalised by a compensation tank. The volume of
the pressure peaks compensation tank is 20 I.

Changeover from diesel oil to heavy fuel oil and vice-versa.
Local, single GenSet-individual fuel change-over, only at stopped engine.
HFO-MDO/MGO changeover The MDO to the GenSets can also be supplied via a separate pipeline from
of a single GenSets the service tank through a MDO booster pump. The capacity of the MDO
booster pump must be three times higher the amount of MDO consumed by
the diesel engines at 100 % load. The system is designed in such a way that
the fuel type for the GenSets can be changed independent of the fuel supply
to the propulsion engine.
A separate fuel changing system for each GenSet gives the advantage of
individually choosing MDO or HFO mode. Such a changeover may be neces-
sary if the GenSets have to be:
Stopped for a prolonged period.
Stopped for major repair of the fuel system, etc.
In case of a blackout/emergency start.
In case fuel type for the GenSet has to be changed independent of the
fuel supply to the propulsion engine.
Following procedure has to be adhered:
1) If the engine is still running Stop the engine.
2) Flush the single engine with DO from separate DO-pump the backflow
during flushing should be lead to the HFO-service tank.
3) Turn the engine crankshaft 3 4 times.
4) Start the engine in DO, if fuel temperature before engine and pump sur-
face temperature is about 45 C = "touching the pump surface possible by
hands".
With following mixture ratio no incompatibility reactions are expected.
Max. MDO/MGO-content in HFO: 5 % vol.
Max. HFO-content in MDO/MGO: 2 % vol.
Furthermore incompatibility reactions cannot be excluded completely, espe-
cially when using HFO with high asphaltene-content and less aromatic DO.
Take into account that a minimum of 50 min. can be required to achieve a
stable fuel temperature/viscosity (depending on fuel system).

the mixing tank is sufficient to press fuel from the mixing tank in the engine
for a short time.
Engines with common rail injection system: The feeder pump has to be con-
nected to a safe electrical grid, or an additional air driven booster pump is to
be installed in front of the mixing tank.

5.5 Compressed air system


Engines with conventional fuel injection system:
MDO to be supplied from the MDO booster pump which can be driven
pneumatically or electrically. If the pump is driven electrically, it must be
connected to the emergency switchboard.
A gravity tank (100 200 litres) can be arranged above the GenSet. With
no pumps available, it is possible to start up the GenSet if a gravity tank
is installed minimum 8 m above the GenSet. However, only if the
changeover valve "CK-006 CK-007" is placed as near as possible to
the GenSet.
Engines with common rail injection system: Supply and booster pump are to
be connected to a save electrical grid, or both pumps are to be air driven. As
an alternative it is also possible to install in parallel to the main fuel oil system
an MDO/MGO emergency pump. This pump shall be electrically driven and
connected to a save electrical grid, or it shall be air driven.
Note:
A fast filling of injection pumps with cold MDO/MGO shortly after HFO-opera-
tion will lead to temperature shocks in the injection system and has to be
avoided under any circumstances.
Blackout and/or black start procedures are to be designed in a way, that
emergency pumps will supply cold, low viscosity fuel to the engines only
after a sufficient blending with hot HFO, e.g. in the mixing tank or sufficient
flushing at engine/GenSet standstill before restart.

5.5 Compressed air system

5.5.1 Starting air system

General
The engine requires compressed air for starting, the Jet Assist function and
several pneumatic controls (Connection 7161). The design of the pressure air
vessel directly depends on the air consumption and the requirements of the
classification societies. Temporary the optional connection 9701 is used for
the dry cleaning of the turbo charger.

Design of external system The external compressed air system should be common for both propulsion
engines and GenSet auxiliary engine. Separate starting air bottles shall only
be installed in case of turbine vessels, or if the GenSets are installed far away
from the propulsion plant.
The design of the air system for the actual plant must be according to the
rules of the relevant classification society. An oil and water separator should
be mounted in the line between the compressor and the air receivers, and
the separator should be equipped with automatic drain facilities. Each engine
needs only one connection for compressed air, see the internal diagram.

These are multi-stage compressor sets with safety valves, cooler for com-
pressed air and condensate traps.
The operational compressor is switched on by the pressure control at low
pressure then switched off when maximum service pressure is attained.
A max. service pressure of 30 bar is required. The standard design pressure
2016-03-01 - 1.1

of the starting air vessels is 30 bar and the design temperature is 50 C.


The service compressor is electrically driven, the auxiliary compressor may
also be driven by a diesel engine. The capacity of both compressors (1
C-001 and 2 C-001) is identical.

Quality of compressed air

5.5 Compressed air system


Sufficient air supply must be ensured and available through a proper air
source for each engine. In case the engine is equipped with Jet Assist a par-
ticular higher air capacity is required in comparison for starting and turning by
air. This can be met either by increasing the quantity of compressors or using
larger types. As standard solution, the engine is configured for the above
mentioned service pressure of 30 bar. For air consumption see section Start-
ing air and control air consumption, Page 57.
Optionally through specific order request MAN recommend a separate air
pipe connection on the engine for Jet Assist with air supplied from a separate
air source e.g. the working air system common specified for 7 bar in marine
application.
For special operating conditions such as, e.g., dredging service, the capacity
of the compressors has to be adjusted to the respective requirements of
operation.

Installation
In order to protect the engine starting and control equipment against con-
densation water the following should be observed:
The air receiver(s) should always be installed with good drainage facilities.
Receiver(s) arranged in horizontal position must be installed with a slope
downwards of min. 3 5 deg.
Pipes and components should always be treated with rust inhibitors.
The starting air pipes should be mounted with a slope towards the
receivers, preventing possible condensed water from running into the
compressors.
Drain valves should be mounted at lowest position of the starting air
pipes and receivers.
The installation also has to ensure that during emergency discharging of the
safety valve no persons can be compromised.
It is not allowed to weld supports (or other) on the air vessels. The original
design must not be altered. Air vessels are to be bedded and fixed by use of
external supporting structures.
Other air consumers for low pressure, auxiliary application (e.g. filter cleaning,
TC cleaning, pneumatic drives) can be connected to the start air system after
a pressure reduction unit.
Galvanised steel pipe must not be used for the piping of the system.
5 Engine supply systems

General requirements of classification societies


The equipment provided for starting the engines must enable the engines to
be started from the operating condition 'zero' with shipboard facilities, i. e.
without outside assistance.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Compressors The total capacity of the starting air compressors is to be calculated so that
the air volume necessary for the required number of starts is topped up from
atmospheric pressure within one hour.
The compressor capacities are calculated as follows:

As a rule, compressors of identical ratings should be provided. An emer-


gency compressor, if provided, is to be disregarded in this respect.
Starting air vessels For the sizes of the starting air vessels for the respective engines see section
Starting air vessels, compressors, Page 224.
The exact number of required starting manoeuvres depends on the arrange-
ment of the system and on the special requirements of the classification soci-
ety.
Separate air tanks shall only be installed if the auxiliary sets in engine-driven
vessels are installed far away from the main plant.

make a decision, consider the information in section Starting air vessels, compressors.

If other consumers (i.e. auxiliary engines, ship air etc.) which are not listed in

the formula are connected to the starting air vessel, the capacity of starting
air vessel must be increased accordingly, or an additional separate air vessel
has to be installed.

5.5.2 Starting air vessels, compressors

General
The engine requires compressed air for starting, start-turning, for the Jet
Assist function as well as several pneumatic controls. The design of the pres-
sure air vessel directly depends on the air consumption and the requirements
of the classification societies.
For air consumption see table Starting air and control air consumption, Page
57.
The air consumption per starting manoeuvre depends on the inertia
moment of the unit. For alternator plants, 1.5 times the air consumption
per starting manoeuvre has to be expected.
For more information concerning Jet Assist see section Jet Assist, Page
225.
The air consumption per slow-turn activation depends on the inertia
moment of the unit.

5.5.3 Jet Assist


Jet Assist is a system for acceleration of the turbocharger. By means of noz-
zles in the turbocharger, compressed air is directed to accelerate the com-
pressor wheel. This causes the turbocharger to adapt more rapidly to a new
load condition and improves the response of the engine.

Air consumption
The air consumption for Jet Assist is, to a great extent, dependent on the
load profile of the ship. In case of frequently and quickly changing load steps,
Jet Assist will be actuated more often than this will be the case during long
routes at largely constant load.
For air consumption (litre) see section Starting air vessels, compressors,
Page 224.

General data
Jet Assist air pressure (overpressure) 4 bar:
At the engine connection the pressure is max. 30 bar. The air pressure will
reduced on the engine by an orifice to max. 4 bar (overpressure).
Jet Assist activating time:
3 seconds to 10 seconds (5 seconds in average).

Consider temporal distribution of events


For the design of the Jet Assist air supply the temporal distribution of events
needs to be considered, if there might be an accumulation of events. Follow-
5 Engine supply systems

ing figure shows exemplary for an application with 10 manoeuvres per hour
five Jet Assist manoeuvers in rapid succession and five remaining Jet Assist
manoeuvres in standard activation.

In this case for the design of the Starting air vessels, compressors, Page 224
5.6 Engine room ventilation and combustion air

it has to be considered that after finishing of the five Jet Assist manoeuvres
within short time the next Jet Assist manoeuvre (marked) must be executa-
ble.

Dynamic positioning for drilling vessels, cable-laying vessels, off-shore


applications
When applying dynamic positioning, pulsating load application of > 25 %
may occur frequently, up to 30 times per hour. In these cases, the possibility
of a specially adapted, separate compressed air system has always to be
checked.

Air supply
Generally, larger air bottles are to be provided for the air supply of the Jet
Assist.
For the design of the Jet Assist air supply the temporal distribution of events
needs to be considered, if there might be an accumulation of events.
If the planned load profile is expecting a high requirement of Jet Assist, it
should be checked whether an air supply from the working air circuit, a sepa-
rate air bottle or a specially adapted, separate compressed air system is nec-
essary or reasonable.
In each case the delivery capacity of the compressors is to be adapted to the
expected Jet Assist requirement per unit of time.

5.6 Engine room ventilation and combustion air

General information
Engine room ventilation Its purpose is:
system Supplying the engines and auxiliary boilers with combustion air.
Carrying off the radiant heat from all installed engines and auxiliaries.
Combustion air The combustion air must be free from spray water, snow, dust and oil mist.
This is achieved by:
Louvres, protected against the head wind, with baffles in the back and
optimally dimensioned suction space so as to reduce the air flow velocity
to 1 1.5 m/s.
5 Engine supply systems

Self-cleaning air filter in the suction space (required for dust-laden air, e.
g. cement, ore or grain carrier).
Sufficient space between the intake point and the openings of exhaust
air ducts from the engine and separator room as well as vent pipes from
lube oil and fuel oil tanks and the air intake louvres (the influence of winds
must be taken into consideration).
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Positioning of engine room doors on the ship's deck so that no oil-laden


air and warm engine room air will be drawn in when the doors are open.
Arranging the separator station at a sufficiently large distance from the
turbochargers.
As a standard, the engines are equipped with turbochargers with air intake
silencers and the intake air is normally drawn in from the engine room.

226 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 5

In tropical service a sufficient volume of air must be supplied to the turbo-

5.6 Engine room ventilation and combustion air


charger(s) at outside air temperature. For this purpose there must be an air
duct installed for each turbocharger, with the outlet of the duct facing the
respective intake air silencer, separated from the latter by a space of 1.5 m.
No water of condensation from the air duct must be permissible to be drawn
in by the turbocharger. The air stream must not be directed onto the exhaust
manifold.
In intermittently or permanently arctic service (defined as: air intake tempera-
ture of the engine below +5 C) special measures are necessary depending
on the possible minimum air intake temperature. For further information see
section Engine operation under arctic conditions, Page 44 and the following.
If necessary, steam heated air preheaters must be provided.
Please be aware that for an air intake pipe (plant side) directly connected to
the compressor inlet of the turbocharger following needs to be considered:
Instead of air intake silencer an air intake casing needs to be ordered.
The air intake pipe (plant side) needs to be separated by an expansion
joint from the turbocharger in order to prevent the transmission of forces
to the turbocharger itself. These forces include those resulting from the
weight, thermal expansion or lateral displacement of the exhaust piping.
An insulation of the air intake pipe (plant side) should allow acces to the
installed sensors.
For the required combustion air quantity, see section Planning data for emis-
sion standard, Page 59. For the required combustion air quality, see section
Specification of intake air (combustion air), Page 149.
Cross sections of air supply ducts are to be designed to obtain the following
air flow velocities:
Main ducts 8 12 m/s
Secondary ducts max. 8 m/s
Air fans are to be designed so as to maintain a positive air pressure of 50 Pa
(5 mm WC) in the engine room.
Radiant heat The heat radiated from the main and auxiliary engines, from the exhaust
manifolds, waste heat boilers, silencers, alternators, compressors, electrical
equipment, steam and condensate pipes, heated tanks and other auxiliaries
is absorbed by the engine room air.
The amount of air V required to carry off this radiant heat can be calculated
as follows:
5 Engine supply systems

V [m3/h] Air required


Q [kJ/h] Heat to be dissipated
t [C] Air temperature rise in engine room (10 12.5)
cp [kJ/ Specific heat capacity of air (1.01)
kg*k]
2016-03-01 - 1.1

t [kg/m3] Air density at 35 C (1.15)

Ventilator capacity The capacity of the air ventilators (without separator room) must be large
enough to cover at least the sum of the following tasks:
The combustion air requirements of all consumers.
The air required for carrying off the radiant heat.

5.7 Exhaust gas system

24 m3/kWh.

5.7 Exhaust gas system

5.7.1 General
Layout As the flow resistance in the exhaust system has a very large influence on the
fuel consumption and the thermal load of the engine, the total resistance of
the exhaust gas system must not exceed 30 mbar.
The pipe diameter selection depends on the engine output, the exhaust gas
volume, and the system backpressure, including silencer and SCR (if fitted).
The backpressure also being dependent on the length and arrangement of
the piping as well as the number of bends. Sharp bends result in very high
flow resistance and should therefore be avoided. If necessary, pipe bends
must be provided with guide vanes.
It is recommended not to exceed a maximum exhaust gas velocity of
approximately 40 m/s.
Installation When installing the exhaust system, the following points must be observed:
The exhaust pipes of two or more engines must not be joined.
Because of the high temperatures involved, the exhaust pipes must be
able to expand. The expansion joints to be provided for this purpose are
to be mounted between fixed-point pipe supports installed in suitable
positions. One compensator is required just after the outlet casing of the
turbocharger (see section Position of the outlet casing of the turbo-
charger, Page 239) in order to prevent the transmission of forces to the
turbocharger itself. These forces include those resulting from the weight,
thermal expansion or lateral displacement of the exhaust piping. For this
compensator/expansion joint one sturdy fixed-point support must be
provided.
The exhaust piping should be elastically hung or supported by means of
dampers in order to prevent the transmission of sound to other parts of
the vessel.
The exhaust piping is to be provided with water drains, which are to be
regularly checked to drain any condensation water or possible leak water
from exhaust gas boilers if fitted.
During commissioning and maintenance work, checking of the exhaust
gas system back pressure by means of a temporarily connected measur-
ing device may become necessary. For this purpose, a measuring socket
is to be provided approximately 1 to 2 metres after the exhaust gas out-
5 Engine supply systems

let of the turbocharger, in a straight length of pipe at an easily accessed


position. Standard pressure measuring devices usually require a measur-
ing socket size of 1/2". This measuring socket is to be provided to
ensure back pressure can be measured without any damage to the
exhaust gas pipe insulation.

5.7.2 Components and assemblies of the exhaust gas system


2016-03-01 - 1.1

Exhaust gas silencer and exhaust gas boiler


Mode of operation The silencer operates on the absorption and resonance principle so it is
effective in a wide frequency band. The flow path, which runs through the
silencer in a straight line, ensures optimum noise reduction with minimum
flow resistance.

228 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 5

The silencer must be equipped with a spark arrestor.

5.7 Exhaust gas system


Installation If possible, the silencer should be installed towards the end of the exhaust
line.
A vertical installation situation is to be preferred in order to avoid formations
of gas fuel pockets in the silencer. The cleaning ports of the spark arrestor
are to be easily accessible.
Note:
Water entry into the silencer and/or boiler must be avoided, as this can
cause damages of the components (e.g. forming of deposits) in the duct.
Exhaust gas boiler To utilise the thermal energy from the exhaust, an exhaust gas boiler produc-
ing steam or hot water may be installed.
Insulation The exhaust gas system (from outlet of turbocharger, boiler, silencer to the
outlet stack) is to be insulated to reduce the external surface temperature to
the required level.
The relevant provisions concerning accident prevention and those of the
classification societies must be observed.
The insulation is also required to avoid temperatures below the dew point on
the interior side. In case of insufficient insulation intensified corrosion and
soot deposits on the interior surface are the consequence. During fast load
changes, such deposits might flake off and be entrained by exhaust in the
form of soot flakes.
Insulation and covering of the compensator must not restrict its free move-
ment.

6.1 Installation and arrangement

6.1.1 General details


Apart from a functional arrangement of the components, the shipyard is to
provide for an engine room layout ensuring good accessibility of the compo-
nents for servicing.
The cleaning of the cooler tube bundle, the emptying of filter chambers and
subsequent cleaning of the strainer elements, and the emptying and cleaning
of tanks must be possible without any problem whenever required.
All of the openings for cleaning on the entire unit, including those of the
exhaust silencers, must be accessible.
There should be sufficient free space for temporary storage of pistons, cam-
shafts, turbocharger etc. dismounted from the engine. Additional space is
required for the maintenance personnel. The panels on the engine sides for
inspection of the bearings and removal of components must be accessible
without taking up floor plates or disconnecting supply lines and piping. Free
space for installation of a torsional vibration meter should be provided at the
crankshaft end.
A very important point is that there should be enough room for storing and
handling vital spare parts so that replacements can be made without loss of
time.
In planning marine installations with two or more engines driving one propel-
ler shaft through a multiengine transmission gear, provision must be made
for a minimum clearance between the engines because the crankcase pan-
els of each engine must be accessible. Moreover, there must be free space
on both sides of each engine for removing pistons or cylinder liners.

Crane arrangement
6.1 Installation and arrangement

The rails for the crane are to be arranged in such a way that the crane can
cover the whole of the engine beginning at the exhaust pipe.
The hook position must reach along the engine axis, past the centreline of
the first and the last cylinder, so that valves can be dismantled and installed
without pulling at an angle. Similarly, the crane must be able to reach the tie
rod at the ends of the engine. In cramped conditions, eyelets must be wel-
ded under the deck above, to accommodate a lifting pulley.
The required crane capacity is to be determined by the crane supplier.
Crane design It is necessary that:
there is an arresting device for securing the crane while hoisting if operat-
ing in heavy seas
there is a two-stage lifting speed
Precision hoisting approximately = 0.5 m/min
Normal hoisting approximately = 2 4 m/min
Places of storage In planning the arrangement of the crane, a storage space must be provided
in the engine room for the dismantled engine components which can be
reached by the crane. It should be capable of holding two rocker arm cas-
ings, two cylinder covers and two pistons. If the cleaning and service work is
to be carried out here, additional space for cleaning troughs and work surfa-
ces should be planned.
Transport to the workshop Grinding of valve cones and valve seats is carried out in the workshop or in a
neighbouring room.
Transport rails and appropriate lifting tackle are to be provided for the further
transport of the complete cylinder cover from the storage space to the work-
shop. For the necessary deck openings, see following figures and tables.

Withdrawal space The withdrawal space shown in section Removal dimensions of piston and
dimensions cylinder liner, Page 232) and the tables (see paragraph Hoisting rail, Page
235) is required for separating the silencer from the turbocharger. The
silencer must be shifted axially by this distance before it can be moved later-
ally.
In addition to this measure, another 100 mm are required for assembly clear-
ance.
This is the minimum distance between silencer and bulkhead or tween-deck.
We recommend to plan additional 300 400 mm as working space.
Make sure that the silencer can be removed either downwards or upwards or

The engine combustion air is to be supplied towards the intake silencer in a


duct ending at a point 1.5 m away from the silencer inlet. If this duct impedes
the maintenance operations, for instance the removal of the silencer, the end
section of the duct must be removable. Suitable suspension lugs are to be
provided on the deck and duct.

If possible the ship deck should reach up to both sides of the turbocharger
(clearance 50 mm) to obtain easy access for the maintenance personnel.
Where deck levels are unfavourable, suspended galleries are to be provided.

Charge air cooler


For cleaning of the charge air cooler bundle, it must be possible to lift it verti-
cally out of the cooler casing and lay it in a cleaning bath.
Exception MAN 32/40: The cooler bundle of this engine is drawn out at the
end. Similarly, transport onto land must be possible.
For lifting and transportation of the bundle, a lifting rail is to be provided
which runs in transverse or longitudinal direction to the engine (according to
the available storage place), over the centreline of the charge air cooler, from
which a trolley with hoisting tackle can be suspended.

7.1 Safety instructions and necessary safety measures


7.1 Safety instructions and necessary safety measures
The following list of basic safety instructions, in combination with further
engine documentation like user manual and working instructions, should
ensure a safe handling of the engine. Due to variations between specific
plants, this list does not claim to be complete and may vary with regard to
project specific requirements.

7.1.1 General
There are risks at the interfaces of the engine, which have to be eliminated or
minimised in the context of integrating the engine into the plant system.
Responsible for this is the legal person which is responsible for the integra-
tion of the engine.

Following prerequisites need to be fulfilled:


Layout, calculation, design and execution of the plant have to be state of
the art.
All relevant classification rules, regulations and laws are considered, eval-
uated and are included in the system planning.
The project-specific requirements of MAN Diesel & Turbo regarding the
engine and its connection to the plant are implemented.
In principle, the more stringent requirements of a specific document is
applied if its relevance is given for the plant.

7.1.2 Safety equipment and measures provided by plant-side


Proper execution of the work
Generally, it is necessary to ensure that all work is properly done accord-
ing to the task trained and qualified personnel.
All tools and equipment must be provided to ensure adequate accesible
and safe execution of works in all life cycles of the plant.
Special attention must be paid to the execution of the electrical equip-
ment. By selection of suitable specialised companies and personnel, it
has to be ensured that a faulty feeding of media, electric voltage and
electric currents will be avoided.
Fire protection
A fire protection concept for the plant needs to be executed. All from
safety considerations resulting necessary measures must be implemen-
ted. The specific remaining risks, e.g. the escape of flammable media
from leaking connections, must be considered.
Generally, any ignition sources, such as smoking or open fire in the main-
tenance and protection area of the engine is prohibited.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Smoke detection systems and fire alarm systems have to be installed


and in operation.

7 Annex

Electrical safety
Standards and legislations for electrical safety have to be followed. Suita-
ble measures must be taken to avoid electrical short circuit, lethal electric
shocks and plant specific topics as static charging of the piping through
the media flow itself.

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 241 (270)
7 MAN Diesel & Turbo

Noise and vibration protection


7.1 Safety instructions and necessary safety measures

The noise emission of the engine must be considered early in the plan-
ning and design phase. A soundproofing or noise encapsulation could be
necessary. The foundation must be suitable to withstand the engine
vibration and torque fluctuations. The engine vibration may also have an
impact on installations in the surrounding of the engine, as galleries for
maintenance next to the engine. Vibrations act on the human body and
may dependent on strength, frequency and duration harm health.
Thermal hazards
In workspaces and traffic areas hot surfaces must be isolated or cov-
ered, so that the surface temperatures comply with the limits by stand-
ards or legislations.
Composition of the ground
The ground, workspace, transport/traffic routes and storage areas have
to be designed according to the physical and chemical characteristics of
the excipients and supplies used in the plant.
Safe work for maintenance and operational staff must always be possi-
ble.
Adequate lighting
Light sources for an adequate and sufficient lighting must be provided by
plant-side. The current guidelines should be followed (100 Lux is recom-
mended, see also DIN EN 1679-1).
Working platforms/scaffolds
For work on the engine working platforms/scaffolds must be provided
and further safety precautions must be taken into consideration. Among
other things, it must be possible to work secured by safety belts. Corre-
sponding lifting points/devices have to be provided.
Setting up storage areas
Throughout the plant, suitable storage areas have to be determined for
stabling of components and tools.
It is important to ensure stability, carrying capacity and accessibility. The
quality structure of the ground has to be considered (slip resistance,
resistance against residual liquids of the stored components, considera-
tion of the transport and traffic routes).
Engine room ventilation
An effective ventilation system has to be provided in the engine room to
avoid endangering by contact or by inhalation of fluids, gases, vapours
and dusts which could have harmful, toxic, corrosive and/or acid effects.
Venting of crankcase and turbocharger
The gases/vapours originating from crankcase and turbocharger are
ignitable. It must be ensured that the gases/vapours will not be ignited by
external sources. For multi-engine plants, each engine has to be ventila-
ted separately. The engine ventilation of different engines must not be
connected.
In case of an installed suction system, it has to be ensured that it will not
be stopped until at least 20 minutes after engine shutdown.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Intake air filtering


In case air intake is realised through piping and not by means of the tur-
7 Annex

bochargers intake silencer, appropriate measures for air filtering must be


provided. It must be ensured that particles exceeding 5 m will be
restrained by an air filtration system.
Quality of the intake air

242 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 7

It has to be ensured that combustible media will not be sucked in by the


engine.

7.1 Safety instructions and necessary safety measures


Intake air quality according to the section Specification of intake air (com-
bustion air), Page 149 has to be guaranteed.
Emergency stop system
The emergency stop system requires special care during planning, reali-
sation, commissioning and testing at site to avoid dangerous operating
conditions. The assessment of the effects on other system components
caused by an emergency stop of the engine must be carried out by
plant-side.
Fail-safe 24 V power supply
Because engine control, alarm system and safety system are connected
to a 24 V power supply this part of the plant has to be designed fail-safe
to ensure a regular engine operation.
Hazards by rotating parts/shafts
Contact with rotating parts must be excluded by plant-side (e.g. free
shaft end, flywheel, coupling).
Safeguarding of the surrounding area of the flywheel
The entire area of the flywheel has to be safeguarded by plant-side.
Special care must be taken, inter alia, to prevent from: ejection of parts,
contact with moving machine parts and falling into the flywheel area.
Securing of the engines turning gear
The turning gear has to be equipped with an optical and acoustic warn-
ing device. When the turning gear is first activated, there has to be a cer-
tain delay between the emission of the warning device's signals and the
start of the turning gear. The gear wheel of the turning gear has to be
covered. The turning gear should be equipped with a remote control,
allowing optimal positioning of the operator, overlooking the entire hazard
area (a cable of approximately 20 m length is recommended). Uninten-
tional engagement or start of the turning gear must be prevented reliably.
It has to be prescribed in the form of a working instruction that:
the turning gear has to be operated by at least two persons
the work area must be secured against unauthorised entry
only trained personnel is permissible to operate the turning gear
Securing of the starting air pipe
To secure against unintentional restarting of the engine during mainte-
nance work, a disconnection and depressurisation of the engines start-
ing air system must be possible. A lockable starting air stop valve must
be provided in the starting air pipe to the engine.
Securing of the turbocharger rotor
To secure against unintentional turning of the turbocharger rotor while
maintenance work, it must be possible to prevent draught in the exhaust
gas duct and, if necessary, to secure the rotor against rotation.
Consideration of the blow-off zone of the crankcase covers relief valves
2016-03-01 - 1.1

During crankcase explosions, the resulting hot gases will be blown out of
the crankcase through the relief valves. This must be considered in the
overall planning.
7 Annex

Installation of flexible connections


For installation of flexible connections follow strictly the information given
in the planning and final documentation and the manufacturer manual.

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 243 (270)
7 MAN Diesel & Turbo

Flexible connections may be sensitive to corrosive media. For cleaning


only adequate cleaning agents must be used (see manufacturer manual).
7.1 Safety instructions and necessary safety measures

Substances containing chlorine or other halogens are generally not per-


missible.
Flexible connections have to be checked regularly and replaced after any
damage or lifetime given in manufacturer manual.
Connection of exhaust port of the turbocharger to the exhaust gas sys-
tem of the plant
The connection between the exhaust port of the turbocharger and the
exhaust gas system of the plant has to be executed gas tight and must
be equipped with a fire proof insulation.
The surface temperature of the fire insulation must not exceed 220 C.
In workspaces and traffic areas, a suitable contact protection has to be
provided whose surface temperature must not exceed 60 C.
The connection has to be equipped with compensators for longitudinal
expansion and axis displacement in consideration of the occurring vibra-
tions (the flange of the turbocharger reaches temperatures of up to
450 C).
Media systems
The stated media system pressures must be complied. It must be possi-
ble to close off each plant-side media system from the engine and to
depressurise these closed off pipings at the engine. Safety devices in
case of system overpressure must be provided.
Drainable supplies and excipients
Supply system and excipient system must be drainable and must be
secured against unintentional recommissioning (EN 1037). Sufficient ven-
tilation at the filling, emptying and ventilation points must be ensured.
The residual quantities which must be emptied have to be collected and
disposed of properly.
Spray guard has to be ensured for liquids possibly leaking from the
flanges of the plants piping system. The emerging media must be
drained off and collected safely.
Charge air blow-off piping (if applied)
The piping must be executed by plant-side and must be suitably isola-
ted. In workspaces and traffic areas, a suitable contact protection has to
be provided whose surface temperature must not exceed 60 C.
Signs
Following figure shows exemplarily the risks in the area of a combus-
tion engine. This may vary slightly for the specific engine.
This warning sign has to be mounted clearly visibly at the engine as
well as at all entrances to the engine room or to the power house.

Figure 73: Warning sign E11.48991-1108
Prohibited area signs
Dependending on the application, it is possible that specific operat-
ing ranges of the engine must be prohibited.
In these cases, the signs will be delivered together with the engine,
which have to be mounted clearly visibly on places at the engine
which allow intervention of the engine operation.
Optical and acoustic warning device
Communication in the engine room/power house may be impaired by
noise. Acoustic warning signals might not be heard. Therefore it is nec-
essary to check where at the plant optical warning signals (e.g. flash
lamp) should be provided.
In any case, optical and acoustic warning devices are necessary while
using the turning gear and while starting/stopping the engine.

7.3 Engine running-in


7.3 Engine running-in

Prerequisites
Engines require a running-in period in case one of the following conditions
applies:
When put into operation on site, if
after test run the pistons or bearings were dismantled for inspection
or
the engine was partially or fully dismantled for transport.
After fitting new drive train components, such as cylinder liners, pistons,
piston rings, crankshaft bearings, big-end bearings and piston pin bear-
ings.
After the fitting of used bearing shells.
After long-term low load operation (> 500 operating hours).

Supplementary information
Operating Instructions During the running-in procedure the unevenness of the piston-ring surfaces
and cylinder contact surfaces is removed. The running-in period is comple-
ted once the first piston ring perfectly seals the combustion chamber. i.e. the
first piston ring should show an evenly worn contact surface. If the engine is
subjected to higher loads, prior to having been running-in, then the hot
exhaust gases will pass between the piston rings and the contact surfaces of
the cylinder. The oil film will be destroyed in such locations. The result is
material damage (e.g. burn marks) on the contact surface of the piston rings
and the cylinder liner. Later, this may result in increased engine wear and
high lube oil consumption.
The time until the running-in procedure is completed is determined by the
properties and quality of the surfaces of the cylinder liner, the quality of the
fuel and lube oil, as well as by the load of the engine and speed. The run-
ning-in periods indicated in following figures may therefore only be regarded
as approximate values.

Operating media
The running-in period may be carried out preferably using MGO (DMA, DMZ)
or MDO (DMB).
The fuel used must meet the quality standards see section Specification for
engine supplies, Page 109 and the design of the fuel system.
For the running-in of gas four-stroke engines it is best to use the gas which is
to be used later in operation.
Diesel-gas engines are run in using diesel operation with the fuel intended as
the ignition oil.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Lube oil The running-in lube oil must match the quality standards, with regard to the
fuel quality.

Engine running-in
7.3 Engine running-in

Cylinder lubrication (optional) The cylinder lubrication must be switched to "Running In" mode during com-
pletion of the running-in procedure. This is done at the control cabinet or at
the control panel (under "Manual Operation"). This ensures that the cylinder
lubrication is already activated over the whole load range when the engine
starts. The running-in process of the piston rings and pistons benefits from
the increased supply of oil. Cylinder lubrication must be returned to "Normal
Mode" once the running-in period has been completed.
Checks Inspections of the bearing temperature and crankcase must be conducted
during the running-in period:
The first inspection must take place after 10 minutes of operation at mini-
mum speed.
An inspection must take place after operation at full load respectively
after operational output level has been reached.
The bearing temperatures (camshaft bearings, big-end and main bearings)
must be determined in comparison with adjoining bearings. For this purpose
an electrical sensor thermometer may be used as a measuring device.
At 85 % load and at 100 % load with nominal speed, the operating data
(ignition pressures, exhaust gas temperatures, charge pressure, etc.) must
be measured and compared with the acceptance report.
Standard running-in Dependent on the application the running-in programme can be derived from
programme the figures in paragraph Diagram(s) of standard running-in, Page 251. Dur-
ing the entire running-in period, the engine output has to be within the
marked output range. Critical speed ranges are thus avoided.
Running-in during Most four-stroke engines are subjected to a test run at the manufacturers
commissioning on site premises. As such, the engine has usually been run in. Nonetheless, after
installation in the final location, another running-in period is required if the pis-
tons or bearings were disassembled for inspection after the test run, or if the
engine was partially or fully disassembled for transport.
Running-in after fitting new If during revision work the cylinder liners, pistons, or piston rings are
drive train components replaced, a new running-in period is required. A running-in period is also
required if the piston rings are replaced in only one piston. The running-in
period must be conducted according to following figures or according to the
associated explanations.
The cylinder liner may be re-honed according to Work Card 050.05, if it is
not replaced. A transportable honing machine may be requested from one of
our Service and Support Locations.
Running-in after refitting When used bearing shells are reused, or when new bearing shells are instal-
used or new bearing shells led, these bearings have to be run in. The running-in period should be 3 to 5
(crankshaft, connecting rod hours under progressive loads, applied in stages. The instructions in the pre-
and piston pin bearings) ceding text segments, particularly the ones regarding the "Inspections", and
following figures must be observed.
Idling at higher speeds for long periods of operation should be avoided if at
all possible.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Running-in after low load Continuous operation in the low load range may result in substantial internal
operation pollution of the engine. Residue from fuel and lube oil combustion may cause
7 Annex

deposits on the top-land ring of the piston exposed to combustion, in the


piston ring channels as well as in the inlet channels. Moreover, it is possible
that the charge air and exhaust pipes, the charge air cooler, the turbocharger
and the exhaust gas tank may be polluted with oil.

250 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 7

Since the piston rings have adapted themselves to the cylinder liner accord-

7.4 Definitions
ing to the running load, increased wear resulting from quick acceleration and
possibly with other engine trouble (leaking piston rings, piston wear) should
be expected.
Therefore, after a longer period of low load operation ( 500 hours of opera-
tion) a running-in period should be performed again, depending on the
power, according to following figures.
Also for instruction see section Low load operation, Page 33.

Auxiliary GenSet/auxiliary generator operation


7 Annex

A generator is driven by the engine, hereby the engine is operated at con-


stant speed. The generator supplies the electrical power not for the main
drive, but for supply systems of the vessel.
The mean output range of the engine is between 40 to 80 %.

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 251 (270)
7 MAN Diesel & Turbo

Loads beyond 100 % up to 110 % of the rated output are permissible only
7.4 Definitions

for a short time to provide additional power for governing purpose only.

Blackout Dead ship condition


The classification societies define blackout on board ships as a loss of elec-
trical power, but still all necessary alternative energies (e.g. start air, battery
electricity) for starting the engines are available.
Contrary to blackout dead ship condition is a loss of electrical power on
board a ship. The main and all other auxiliary GenSets are not in operation,
also all necessary alternative energies for starting the engines are not availa-
ble. But still it is assumed that the necessary energy for starting the engines
(e.g. emergency alternator) could be restored at any time.

Designation
Designation of engine sides
Coupling side, CS
The coupling side is the main engine output side and is the side to
which the propeller, the alternator or other working machine is cou-
pled.
Free engine end/counter coupling side, CCS
The free engine end is the front face of the engine opposite the cou-
pling side.

Designation of cylinders
The cylinders are numbered in sequence, from the coupling side, 1, 2, 3 etc.
In V engines, looking on the coupling side, the left hand row of cylinders is
designated A, and the right hand row is designated B. Accordingly, the cylin-
ders are referred to as A1-A2-A3 or B1-B2-B3, etc.

Electric propulsion
7.4 Definitions

The generator being driven by the engine supplies electrical power to drive
an electric motor. The power of the electric motor is used to drive a control-
lable pitch or fixed pitch propeller, pods, thrusters, etc.
The mean output range of the engine is between 80 to 95 % and the fuel
consumption is optimised at 85 % load.

GenSet
The term "GenSet" is used, if engine and electrical alternator are mounted
together on a common base frame and form a single piece of equipment.

GenSet application (also applies to auxiliary engines on board ships)


Engine and electrical alternator mounted together form a single piece of
equipment to supply electrical power in places where electrical power (cen-
tral power) is not available, or where power is required only temporarily.
Standby GenSets are kept ready to supply power during temporary interrup-
tions of the main supply.
The mean output range of the engine is between 40 to 80 %.
Loads beyond 100 % up to 110 % of the rated output are permissible only
for a short time to provide additional power for governing purpose only.

Gross calorific value (GCV)


This value supposes that the water of combustion is entirely condensed and
that the heat contained in the water vapor is recovered.

Mechanical propulsion with controllable pitch propeller (CPP)


A propeller with adjustable blades is driven by the engine.
The CPPs pitch can be adjusted to absorb all the power that the engine is
capable of producing at nearly any rotational speed.
Thereby the mean output range of the engine is between 80 to 95 % and the
fuel consumption is optimised at 85 % load.

Mechanical propulsion with fixed pitch propeller (FPP)


A fixed pitch propeller is driven by the engine. The FPP is always working
very close to the theoretical propeller curve (power input ~ n3). A higher tor-
que in comparison to the CPP even at low rotational speed is present.
To protect the engine against overloading its rated output is reduced up to
90 %. The turbocharging system is adapted. Engine speed reduction of up
to 10 % at maximum torque is permissible.
The mean output range of the engine is between 80 to 95 % of its available
2016-03-01 - 1.1

output and the fuel consumption is optimised at 85 % load.

Net calorific value (NCV)

7.4 Definitions
This value supposes that the products of combustion contain the water
vapor and that the heat in the water vapor is not recovered.

Offshore application
Offshore construction and offshore drilling place high requirements regarding
the engines acceleration and load application behaviour. Higher require-
ments exist also regarding the permissible engines inclination.
The mean output range of the engine is between 15 to 60 %. Acceleration
from engine start up to 100 % load must be possible within a specified time.

Output
ISO standard output (as specified in DIN ISO 3046-1)
Maximum continuous rating of the engine at nominal speed under
ISO conditions, provided that maintenance is carried out as specified.
Operating-standard-output (as specified in DIN ISO 3046-1)
Maximum continuous rating of the engine at nominal speed taking in
account the kind of application and the local ambient conditions, provi-
ded that maintenance is carried out as specified. For marine applications
this is stated on the type plate of the engine.
Fuel stop power (as specified in DIN ISO 3046-1)
Fuel stop power defines the maximum rating of the engine theoretical
possible, if the maximum possible fuel amount is used (blocking limit).
Rated power (in accordance to rules of Germanischer Lloyd)
Maximum possible continuous power at rated speed and at defined
ambient conditions, provided that maintenances carried out as specified.
Overload power (in accordance to rules of Germanischer Lloyd)
110 % of rated power, that can be demonstrated for marine engines for
an uninterrupted period of one hour.
Output explanation
Power of the engine at distinct speed and distinct torque.
100 % output
100 % output is equal to the rated power only at rated speed. 100 %

Suction dredger application (mechanical drive of pumps)


7.4 Definitions

For direct drive of a suction dredger pump by the engine via gear box the
engine speed is directly influenced by the load on the suction pump.
To protect the engine against overloading its rated output is reduced up to
90 %. The turbocharging system is adapted. Engine speed reduction of up
to 20 % at maximum torque is released.
Possibly the permissible engine operating curve has to be adapted to the
pump characteristics by means of a power output adaption respectively the
power demand of the pump has to be optimised particularly while start-up
operation.
The mean output range of the engine is between 80 to 100 % of its available
output and the fuel consumption is optimised at 85 % load.

Waterjet application
A marine propulsion system that creates a jet of water that propels the ves-
sel. The waterjet is always working close to the theoretical propeller curve
(power input ~ n3).
To protect the engine against overloading its rated output is reduced up to
90 %. The turbocharging system is adapted. Engine speed reduction of up
to 10 % at maximum torque is permissible.
The mean output range of the engine is between 80 % to 95 % of its availa-
ble output and the fuel consumption is optimised at 85 % load.

Weight definitions for SCR


Handling weight (reactor only):
This is the "net weight" of the reactor without catalysts, relevant for trans-
port, logistics, etc.
Operational weight (with catalysts):
That's the weight of the reactor in operation, that is equipped with a layer
of catalyst and the second layer empty as reserve.
Maximum weight structurally:
This is relevant for the static planning purposes maximum weight, that is
equipped with two layers catalysts.

7.7 Preservation, packaging, storage

7.7.1 General

Introduction
Engines are internally and externally treated with preservation agent before
delivery. The type of preservation and packaging must be adjusted to the
means of transport and to the type and period of storage. Improper storage
may cause severe damage to the product.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Packaging and preservation of engine


The type of packaging depends on the requirements imposed by means of
7 Annex

transport and storage period, climatic and environmental effects during


transport and storage conditions as well as on the preservative agent used.
As standard, engines are preserved for a storage period of 12 months and
for sea transport.

MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN 261 (270)
7 MAN Diesel & Turbo

Note:
7.7 Preservation, packaging, storage

The packaging must be protected against damage. It must only be removed


when a follow-up preservation is required or when the packaged material is
to be used.

Preservation and packaging of assemblies and engine parts


Unless stated otherwise in the order text, the preservation and packaging of
assemblies and engine parts must be carried out such that the parts will not
be damaged during transport and that the corrosion protection remains fully
intact for a period of at least 12 months when stored in a roofed dry room.

Transport
Transport and packaging of the engine, assemblies and engine parts must
be coordinated.
After transportation, any damage to the corrosion protection and packaging
must be rectified, and/or MAN Diesel & Turbo must be notified immediately.

7.7.2 Storage location and duration

Storage location
Storage location of engine As standard, the engine is packaged and preserved for outdoor storage.
The storage location must meet the following requirements:
Engine is stored on firm and dry ground.
Packaging material does not absorb any moisture from the ground.
Engine is accessible for visual checks.

Storage location of Assemblies and engine parts must always be stored in a roofed dry room.
assemblies and engine parts The storage location must meet the following requirements:
Parts are protected against environmental effects and the elements.
The room must be well ventilated.
Parts are stored on firm and dry ground.
Packaging material does not absorb any moisture from the ground.
Parts cannot be damaged.
Parts are accessible for visual inspection.
An allocation of assemblies and engine parts to the order or requisition
must be possible at all times.
Note:
Packaging made of or including VCI paper or VCI film must not be opened or
must be closed immediately after opening.
2016-03-01 - 1.1

Storage conditions
In general the following requirements must be met:
7 Annex

Minimum ambient temperature: 10 C


Maximum ambient temperature: +60 C
Relative humidity: < 60 %

262 (270) MAN L32/44 GenSet IMO Tier II, Project Guide Marine, EN
MAN Diesel & Turbo 7

In case these conditions cannot be met, contact MAN Diesel & Turbo for

7.8 Engine colour


clarification.

Storage period
The permissible storage period of 12 months must not be exceeded.
Before the maximum storage period is reached:
Check the condition of the stored engine, assemblies and parts.
Renew the preservation or install the engine or components at their
intended location.

7.7.3 Follow-up preservation when preservation period is exceeded


A follow-up preservation must be performed before the maximum storage
period has elapsed, i.e. generally after 12 months.
Request assistance by authorised personnel of MAN Diesel & Turbo.

7.7.4 Removal of corrosion protection


Packaging and corrosion protection must only be removed from the engine
immediately before commissioning the engine in its installation location.
Remove outer protective layers, any foreign body from engine or component
(VCI packs, blanking covers, etc.), check engine and components for dam-
age and corrosion, perform corrective measures, if required.
The preservation agents sprayed inside the engine do not require any special
attention. They will be washed off by engine oil during subsequent engine
operation.
Contact MAN Diesel & Turbo if you have any questions.
