5 Installation Aspects
The figures shown in this chapter are intended as an
aid at the project stage. The data is subject to
change without notice, and binding data is to be
given by the engine builder in the “Installation Doc-
umentation” mentioned in Chapter 10.
Space Requirements for the Engine
The space requirements stated in Fig. 5.01 are valid
for engines rated at nominal MCR (L1).
Additional space needed for engines equipped with
PTO is stated in Chapter 4.
If, during the project stage, the outer dimensions of
the turbocharger seem to cause problems, it is pos-
sible, for the same number of cylinders, to use
turbochargers with smaller dimensions by increas-
ing the indicated number of turbochargers by one.
Overhaul of Engine
The distances stated from the centre of the crank-
shaft to the crane hook are for vertical or tilted lift,
see note F in Fig. 5.01.
A lower overhaul height is, however, available by us-
ing the MAN B&W double-jib crane, built by Danish
Crane Building ApS, shown in Figs. 5.02 and 5.03.
Please note that the distance given by using a dou-
ble-jib crane is from the centre of the crankshaft to
the lower edge of the deck beam, see note E in Fig.
5.01.
2 x 0.5 ton double jib crane can be used for this en-
gine as this crane has been individually designed for
the engine.
The capacity of a normal engine room crane has to
be minimum 0.5 ton.
The area covered by the engine room crane shall be
wide enough to reach any heavy spare part required
in the engine room, and the crane hook shall be able
to reach the lowermost floor level in the engine
430 100 030

S26MC Project Guide
room. A special crane beam for dismantling the
turbocharger shall be fitted. The lifting capacity of
the crane beam for dismantling the turbocharger is
stated in fig. 6.10.07
The overhaul tools for the engine are designed to be
used with a crane hook according to DIN
15400,June 1990, material class M and load capac-
ity 1Am and dimensions of the single hook type ac-
cording to DIN 15401, part 1.
Engine Outline
The total length of the engine at the crankshaft level
may vary depending on the equipment to be fitted
on the fore end of the engine, such as adjustable
counterweights, tuning wheel, moment compensa-
tors PTO, which are shown as alternatives in Fig.
5.04.
Transparent outline drawings in scale 1:50 and
1:100 are included in section 11.
Engine Masses and Centre of Gravity
The partial and total engine masses appear from
Chapter 9, “Dispatch Pattern”, to which the masses
of water and oil in the engine, Fig. 5.06, are to be
added. The centre of gravity is shown in Fig. 5.05,
including the water and oil in the engine, but without
moment compensators or PTO.
Gallery Outline
Fig. 5.07 shows the gallery outline for engines with
high efficiency turbochargers and rated at nominal
MCR (L1).

Engine Pipe Connections
The position of the external pipe connections on the
engine are stated in Fig. 5.08, and the correspond-
ing lists of counterflanges for pipes and turbochar-
ger in Figs. 5.09 and 5.10, respectively.
The flange connection on the turbocharger gas out-
let is rectangular, but a transition piece to a circular
form can be supplied as an option: 4 60 601.
Engine Seating and Arrangement of
Holding Down Bolts
The dimensions of the seating stated in Figs. 5.11
and 5.12 are for guidance only.
The engine is basically mounted on epoxy chocks
4 82 102 in which case the underside of the
bed-plate’s lower flanges has no taper.
The epoxy types approved by MAN B&W Diesel A/S
are:
“Chockfast Orange PR 610 TCF”
from ITW Philadelphia Resins Corporation, USA,
and
“Epocast 36"
from H.A. Springer – Kiel, Germany
The engine may alternatively, be mounted on cast
iron chocks (solid chocks 4 82 101), in which case
the underside of the bedplate’s lower flanges is with
taper 1:100.

S26MC Project Guide
Top Bracing
Because of the small size of the engine, we consider
the guide force moments as harmless, and no spe-
cial countermeasures are to be tanken.
Earthing Device
In some cases, it has been found that the difference
in the electrical potential between the hull and the
propeller shaft (due to the propeller being immersed
in seawater) has caused spark erosion on the main
bearings and journals of the engine.
A potential difference of less than 80 mV is harmless
to the main bearings so, in order to reduce the po-
tential between the crankshaft and the engine struc-
ture (hull), and thus prevent spark erosion, we rec-
ommend the installation of a highly efficient earthing
device.
The sketch Fig. 5.13 shows the layout of such an
earthing device, i.e. a brush arrangement which is
able to keep the potential difference below 50 mV.
We also recommend the installation of a shaft-hull
mV-meter so that the potential, and thus the correct
functioning of the device, can be checked.
