2 Essential Wear Parts
Essential Wear Parts
Introduction

Certain spare parts for the two-stroke engine are considered to be Essential Wear
Parts as they are key components that have a critical effect on the performance of
the engine. Our continuous development and focus help us provide our customers
with the best possible product and service every time.

We have a sharp focus on this group of components which share a number of com-
monalities, the overall being a long lifetime. Essential Wear Parts mainly include
large components, and not standard wear parts such as O-rings, which means
that they represent a larger investment. The lifetime is related to the quality of the
components, and the high quality of the parts from MAN PrimeServ ensures an
optimal lifetime.

Features of Essential Wear Parts:

- Key components critical for the performance of the engine
- Long lifetime
- Increased focus internally
- Mainly large components
- Large investment.

 Cylinder Liners
Essential Wear Parts

The size and design of this Essential Wear Part re-

quires a high level of technological know-how and
experience within engineering and manufacturing of
these complex components. MAN Diesel & Turbo has
both the know-how and the experience and is there-
fore able to produce our cylinder liners in a high qual-
ity. The design of our liners is based on many years of
service experience and is under continuous develop-
ment.

The above combination as well as having the world’s

leading and most experienced cylinder liner supplier,
ensures the highest quality of the products.

MAN Diesel & Turbo has been designing engines for

more than 100 years, and our desire to provide the
best products ensures that the development and op-
timisation never stops. This is reflected in our entire
product portfolio including the cylinder liners.

Features of the cylinder liners

The standard liner surface has a semi-honed profile
that ensures good oil retaining properties, as oil is ac-
cumulated between the plateaus thereby ensuring a
hydro-dynamic oil film.

Benefits
„„ Latest design updates
„„ Reliability
„„ Know-how of the engine designer
„„ Extended warranty = 36 months.

4 Essential Wear Parts

Piston Crowns
Essential Wear Parts

This Essential Wear Part must be of high quality and
precision, as it is vital for the reliable operation of the
engine. This is why all sub-suppliers of MAN Diesel &
Turbo piston crowns must demonstrate their ability to
fulfil all the requirements stated in the quality control
agreements before they can be approved as produc-
ers and suppliers.
These agreements also contain CSR (corporate social
responsibility) requirements, as MAN Diesel & Turbo con-
siders this an important matter when doing business.
Features of the piston crown
The piston crown is the top part of the piston which
transmits the pressure created during the ignition of
the air-fuel mixture to the crosshead, on to the con-
necting rod and from there to the crankshaft. In oth-
er words, it is an essential part of transforming the
combustion-energy into mechanical energy. Further-
more, the piston crown is exposed to a very harsh
environment with high temperatures and pressures.
This is why the design includes special features that
requires the most advanced manufacturing technol-
ogy to achieve the high standard we offer.
Benefits
„„ High quality
„„ All suppliers/manufacturers must fulfil quality con-
trol agreements
„„ Focus on CSR
„„ Extended warranty = 36 months.

 Spindle Guides – Slide Valves
Essential Wear Parts

Fuel equipment requires extra focus and the spindle

guide is therefore an Essential Wear Part. Many of our
fuel equipment components, and components which
have an influence on the engine emissions, are manu-
factured in-house in Copenhagen to ensure that our
high production requirements are fulfilled. This is done
by using our in-house expert knowledge on precision
machinery.

Worldwide focus and demand is on reducing fuel oil

consumption and emissions. Therefore, the develop-
ment and optimisation of the spindle guide and nozzle
has a high priority in our R&D department, where ben-
eficial features are continuously developed and tested.

Features of the Spindle Guides – Slide Valves

The spindle guide and nozzle are the main wear parts
of the fuel valve, and they need to be changed at
certain intervals to ensure a good performance. The
combination of the spindle guide and HIP (Hot Iso-
static Pressing) compound nozzle ensures a TBO of
16.000 running hours, thereby keeping the mainte-
nance budget at a minimum.

Benefits
„„ Latest design
„„ Own production in Copenhagen on precision ma-
chinery
„„ No dripping from the nozzle = cleaner component
„„ Cleaner exhaust gas ways.

PrimeServ, we make sure to match the right compo-
nent with your engine and ensure compliance with the
technical file.

Features of the plunger-and-barrel

The function of the plunger-and-barrel assembly is to
deliver the correct amount of fuel oil to the fuel valves
for injection into the combustion chamber. Thus, it
is important to apply the correct plunger-and-barrel
assembly to ensure an optimal combustion process.
This is always the case when buying the components
from MAN PrimeServ.

 MAN FIVA Valves
Essential Wear Parts

The FIVA (fuel injection, valve actuation) valve is es-
sential to the running of the ME engine as it controls
the fuel injection and the exhaust valve actuation. This
is the reason why the MAN FIVA Valve is considered
an Essential Wear Part.
Features of the MAN FIVA Valves
It is a high precision unit that controls the fuel injec-
tion and exhaust valve opening of the ME engine and
thereby serves the same function as the camshaft on
conventional engines.
