Low Load Operation
Service Experience

Operating at low engine load, below 50%, can create


issues in relation to:

 Deposit build up in receivers, turbocharger(s) and exhaust gas boiler


 Cylinder lubrication
 Continuous operation of auxiliary blowers
 Cutting in/out of auxiliary blowers
 Increased stress on flap valves in scav. receiver
 Increased heat load on components
 Down stream corosion in gas ways

Countermeasure – Soot build up:

 Introduction of slides fuel valves - MC engines

 Alpha lubricators - MC engines

 Increase of scavenge air pressure

Engine load up interval

 Interval to be based on service experience and


recommendations from T/C and boiler maker

When the drilling is finished, the edges of the holes must be rounded from the inside.

The rounding can be done using a pneumatic tool fitted with a grinding
stone.

After drilling and grinding is finished, it is recommended to “fresh-up”


the fuel valve seats, using the original lapping tool.
The spare cylinder cover should be modified as well.

Low Load Operation
Service Experience

Cylinder Lubrication - Mechanical Lubricators (Hans Jensen)

During operation at low load it has been experienced that over/under


lubrication can happen
The piston stroke is low and mis-adjustment on the buttons is possible

Before Low Load Operation


 Check that the cam for the MEP lubrication is correct adjusted
 Check that the strokes are correct

Consider Alpha Lubricator as retrofit

Cylinder Lubrication - Alpha Lubricators

During operation at low load it has been experienced that over-


lubrication can happen, due to layout of lubricators.

Countermeasure
 Retrofit of lubricator pistons with reduced diameter
 Modification of lubricator by reducing piston stroke
 Change of software

T/C Cleaning:
 Low load => Increased risk of fouling
 Manufacturer’s dry-cleaning recommendation to be followed
 ABB – increase load >50% engine load (1/24-100h)
 MAN – not necessary to increase load (1/24h)
 Mitsubishi has released new recommendation - below

~25% load

Test on a 8K80MC-C engine with Slide Valves

 Test duration: 3 days on 10% Load

 No engine load up

Conclusion
No significant change in fouling condition of exhaust gas ways

Low Load Operation
Service Experience
Feedback from vessels:
 Slightly increased fouling in scavenge air receiver
 Cylinder oil feed rate too high  Alpha Lubricator retrofit
 Increased maintenance on auxiliary blowers  extra blower on
board
 Increased heat load on the exhaust valve spindles. Experienced in
few cases related to T/C performance during low load. (35 – 45 %
load)
 Exhaust gas boiler condition more or less the same
 Exhaust gas receiver condition more or less the same

Generally positive feed back on low load service and


much better than expected

Super Low Load Operation

 Our Low Load experience is collected during an


excellent cooperation with various container ship
owners.

 Similar performance is expected for VLCC’s


(S-type engines)

 Experience mostly collected on MC/-C engines. ME/-


C engines has less fouling due to higher injection
pressure at low loads

Low Load Operation – Increased
Pscav. Service Experience

T/C Cut-Out Feedback:


 IMO cycle value and type of engine limits potential fuel oil consumption
benefit
 Bearing loads and torsional vibration issues must be checked
 Turbine out temperature can drop up to 30 degrees
 Air flow distribution in scavenge air receiver can appear uneven
 Significant reduction in SFOC below 35 % engine load
 Low specific cylinder oil feed rate maintained at low load with increased
Pscav.
 Stable cylinder condition maintained at low load with increased Pscav

Generally, positive feed-back on low load service


with increased Pscav.
