2.2.3 Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (“KHI”)


(1) Research and development made in 2010;
In the international shipping, the 3rd regulation of IMO on the emission of NOx (nitrogen oxide) will
become effective from 2016 and the concern to the environmental protection of the earth has mounted,
and under the circumstances KHI developed their original technology to satisfy the severe
environmental regulation reaching the unknown sphere and placed diesel test engine at their Kobe
Works with the viewing of carrying out the research of the future’s improvement of engine.

Fig. 2.2-2 2cycle test engine

This diesel test engine is 2 cycle electronically controlled engine having 50cm of cylinder diameter which
is same in size as the actual engine, and therefore, the test can be conducted under the same conditions
as the actual engine. It started the first running in July, 2010, and the performance in fully loaded
conditions was verified in the end of August. Since then, the change test of electronic control to reduce
NOx and water emulsified fuel test etc. have been carried out. In addition to the NOx reduction
apparatus originally developed, the verification of engine performance and characteristic of exhaust gas
will be further conducted with the verification of the performance of NOx reduction apparatus and the
development of environmental measures will be prompted.
On the other hand, as the joint development works with Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd., KHI installed the
water emulsified fuel supply system originally developed for the newbuilding bulk carrier of 58,000

DWT and carried out the sea trials during the period between December, 2010 and January, 2011. From
now on KHI will carry out the long term onboard operation test and they will pursue that the water
emulsified fuel technology will be practically used as one of efficient technologies to clear the 3rd
regulation of IMO.
(2) The remarkable engine produced in 2010;
In 2010, KHI produced a port sided type engine (port design) 7L70ME-C8 in which the right and left are
arranged conversely against the arrangement of ordinary engine. In case of the main engine of the ship
equipped with single engine and single propeller, the exhaust manifold is usually arranged on starboard
side of ship, however, it is arranged on portside of ship in case of this engine. This ship is a RO/RO ship
and has been built in special consideration of client’s desire that the ship’s exhaust system should be
arranged on portside which is most remote from wharf upon berthing of the ship. Also, the technology
called TES (Thermal Efficiency System) was adopted for this engine. This is the system that the exhaust
gas needed for turbo-charging is controlled under the application of the highly efficient turbochargers
and the surplus exhaust gas by-passes the turbochargers and the said gas is led to exhaust pipe of hull
to recover the exhaust heat in order that the heat efficiency of whole ship can be elevated. The opening
motion of the by-pass valve is automatically controlled by ECS (Engine Control System) of main engine
in compliance with the operation conditions. The appearance of this engine is shown in Fig. 2.2-3.

(1) New kind of product etc;
Kobe Diesel has been advancing the production of 6UEC45LSE type engine developed by Mitsubishi
6

Translated from Journal of the JIME Vol.46, No.4 (Original Japanese)


Year Book 2011 : Progress of Marine Engineering Technology in the year 2010

Heavy Industries, Ltd. The production number in 2010 is 22 units, and 30 units have been so far
produced since the operation of the first unit started in February, 2009, and further, 18 units have been
under operation. 9 units out of the above are equipped with electronically controlled lubrication system
(ECL timing lubrication system). This system makes it possible to substantially reduce the consumption
of cylinder oil by the most suited lubrication timing by the use of electronic control.
UEC45LSE type engine has been developed as a substitute engine for UEC52LA type engine, and the
length over all is about 19 % shorter than 6UEC52LA and it enables the increase of cargo space. Further,
the weight of engine has been lightened about 18 % (195ton / 6 cylinder engine), and therefore, mono
block forwarding and mono block installation have become more easy. If the engine is evaluated from
structural point of view, the number of fastening bolt for cylinder cover and exhaust gas valve casing has
been reduced in comparison with the conventional kinds of engine. Also, it has been made pipe-less by
processing the oil passage within cam shaft casing in which the piping such as supply pipe of exhaust
valve hydraulic oil and lubrication pipe of cam shaft bearing etc. are arranged. These devices contribute
to the reduction of man hours of maintenance works. The cam shaft casing is solidly structured in
engine frame made from cast iron, and so, the structure has become compact.
As for the production numbers of LA/LS type engine, each one unit of UEC45/52/60LA has been
produced, and the production of LA/LS type engine is planned to be discontinued at the end of 2010. In
the matter of the total production number of LA/LS type engine, 45LA type is 151 units, 52LA/LS type is
284 units and 60LA/LS type is 144 units. The core of engine production will be LSII type and LSE type
from now on.

(b) DU developed the timing cylinder lubricating system of electronic type DU-TLS (DU-Timing
Lubricating System) for low speed 2 stroke marine main engine.
This lubricating system is the system in which the lubricating pump is hydraulically driven instead of
conventional mechanical driving and the suitable and proper quantity of lubrication becomes possible at
the fixed timing of crank angle, and this system is effective in enabling the improvement of sliding
condition of ring / liner and the reduction of cylinder oil consumption. (Refer to Fig. 2.2-9 & Fig. 2.2-10)
The shop test completed without problem in July, 2010 and the mechanical lubricating system of
RTA48T engine installed on the existing ship was replaced by DU-TSL, and then, the field test started
in March, 2011 and the system and engine have been under operation in good condition up to the
present.
(c) DU has endeavored to make better piston ring with a view to improving the seizure resistance and
abrasion resistance upon decrease of lubrication ratio, and as a result, in cooperation with IHI they were
successful in the development of the new spray-coated ring of next generation which is more superior in
seizure resistance and abrasion resistance to the existing spray-coated ring presently used by DU. This
new spray-coated ring was tested at shop at the same time together with the test of new lubricating
system (DU-TLS) and satisfactory result was obtained. After the affirmation of the above result, they
have started the field test on the aforesaid engine from March, 2011.

2.2.8 Niigata Power Systems Co., Ltd. (“Niigata Power Systems”);


(1) The status of development;
(a) The countermeasures against the next regulation of NOx of IMO to be applied for marine diesel
engine;
In 2009, Niigata Power Systems applied the survey for obtainment of statement of compliance with the
2nd regulation of IMO in respect of the medium speed diesel engine 6L28HX (Fig. 2.2-11), and
successfully obtained the statement of compliance in February, 2010. This was domestically the first
obtainment of statement of compliance at the same time for the three kinds of test cycle (in modes of E2,
E3 and D2).
Niigata Power Systems applied not only to 6L28HX but also to other existing kinds of engine the
reduction technology of NOx emission, such as the optimization technology of fuel injection system
adopted for medium speed marine diesel engine「28AHX」developed in 2008 for satisfying IMO 2nd
regulation and the optimization of turbocharger system etc..
So far they have completed to apply the survey for 12 kinds of engine, and they plan to continue the
obtainment of the statement of compliance in turn on the rest of engines which have to comply with the
2nd regulation of IMO.
(b) The status of new development;
As regards the new development relating to engine itself, there was no matter to be particularly
mentioned in 2010.

2.2.9 Hanshin Diesel Works, Ltd. (“Hanshin Diesel”);


(1) The new kind of product and new technology developed in 2010;
(a) The countermeasures against NOx in respect of the engine;
The engines installed on ships to be keel-laid after January 1, 2011 will have to comply with the 2nd
regulation of NOx, and therefore, Hanshin Diesel has investigated in the last few years the
countermeasure method against the 2nd regulation of NOx that would minimize the worsening of fuel
consumption and they have repeated the test and experiments.
Upon coping with the 1st regulation of NOx, they satisfied the regulation mainly by improvement of fuel
injection system of their original 4 cycle engine, however, they have decided to cope with the 2nd
regulation by adoption of Miller cycle in addition to the above technology.
Hanshin Diesel have completely prepared the specifications to comply with the 2nd regulation of NOx
on almost all kinds of original 4 cycle engine, and they also received the survey of the 2nd regulation of
NOx for all kinds of LA type engine and other engines upon their productions and they have obtained
the certificate of EIAPP for these engines as well.
On the other hand, in the matter of MAN 2 cycle engine, the verification of specifications conformed to
the 2nd regulation of NOx has also been completed and the preparation for production of actual engine
has been under progress.
(b) The adoption of oil hydraulic valve-driving mechanism for large LH-L type engine;
Hanshin Diesel has adopted to the large LH-L type engine the oil hydraulic valve-driving mechanism
that had been well received by their clients on its application to their original 4 cycle engine LA type.
This oil hydraulic valve-driving mechanism changes the motion of cam to oil hydraulics by oil hydraulic
piston and makes suction and exhaust valves drive by loading oil hydraulics on oil hydraulic piston
positioned at the upper part of suction and exhaust valves. Excepting that oil hydraulic piston is
provided at each side of cam and suction & exhaust valve, the structure is not different from the
mechanical valve-driving system. And therefore, it is unnecessary to equip with the special devices like
hydraulic oil filters etc. to be exclusively used for oil hydraulic valve-driving mechanism, since the
hydraulic oil for this mechanism is commonly used with system oil of engine and divisionally supplied
from main pipe of lubricating oil fitted to the engine.
The oil hydraulic valve-driving apparatus enables the omission of maintenance works due to the
adjustment of tappet clearance becoming unnecessary, and at the same time, it has been greatly
effective on reduction of noise and prevention of oil splash. Hanshin Diesel has completed the adoption of
the oil hydraulic valve-driving system to LH46L type and LH41L type and they have successively
adopted it to LH38L as well. The types of LH46L and LH41L have been already delivered for their
clients. (Refer to Fig. 2.2-12)

2.2.10 Hitachi Zosen Corporation (“Hitachi Zosen”);


(1) The new kind of product and new technology developed in 2010;
As regards the new technology in 2010, Hitachi Zosen produced HITACHI-MAN B&W 7S65ME-C
engine equipped with hybrid turbocharger. Fig. 2.2-13 shows the appearance of the engine.
The hybrid turbocharger (MET83MAG) is the turbocharger within which the generator is installed and
it was proven that the power of more than 420kW could be generated under the loaded condition of more
than 75% upon the shop trial carried out in December. This is the first marine main engine in the world
on which the hybrid turbocharger has been installed, and it is planned that this engine will be placed on
board the ship in the beginning of 2011 and the demonstration test will be carried out on the actual ship.
Also, the 3rd regulation of NOx will be imposed from 2016, and therefore, Hitachi Zosen has been
pursuing the development of the method of Selective Catalystic Reduction (SCR) as the countermeasure
against the above rule.
The special feature of this SCR of Hitachi Zosen is that SCR apparatus is arranged at the location just
before turbocharger, and the following effects are brought about by this arrangement.
(a) The excessive and unnecessary CO2 is not emitted since such reheating process as required for the
type located after turbocharger is not necessary for the operation of SCR apparatus due to the high
temperature exhaust gas at pre-stage of turbocharger being used.
(b) The pressure of exhaust gas is high in comparison with SCR system of turbocharger located at
after-stage, and therefore, the apparatus becomes compact as the activity of catalyst becomes high and
less quantity of catalyst is required.

In 2010, Hitachi Zosen completed demonstration tests on single cylinder engine and then they installed
SCR apparatus on the multi-cylinder engine as the next step. Fig. 2.2-14 shows the appearance of the
multi-cylinder engine on which SCR apparatus has been installed.
From the beginning of 2011, they have carried out the onshore demonstration test on the multi-cylinder
engine, and then, they now plan to install it on the actual ship to conduct the demonstration test on
the ship actually in operation from the 2nd half of 2011.

and they conducted overhauling inspection in May, 2010, when 11,060 hours running operation had
completed, and they made sure of the turbocharger’s capacity that could be further operated during the
time of more than 10,000 hours under the low quality oil being fired. VTG may be fitted to the next
generation turbocharger A100-L as an optional selection, which can contribute to improvement of
performance under partial loading. The turbocharger equipped with VTG has been well received by the
clients as the environmentally friendly system that contributes to energy-saving and reduction of GHG,
and ABB, the developer of the system, has already received the orders of 18 units, and further spread of
system will be much expected in future.

2.3.1.3 Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (“MES”);


It has become clear that MES would deliver 8K80ME-C (Tier II, 2xTCA88-21V) equipped with VTA
(Variable Turbine Area: Variable nozzle) for the first time, which was introduced in this Year Book of
2009, to CMD (CSSC-MES Diesel in Shanghai) in April, 2011. TCA turbocharger is the turbocharger
which is applicable to high pressure ratio and is adaptable to engines for Tier II regulation.
MES imports the complete unit of VTA from MAN at present, however, the production by themselves
will be investigated in future.
Also, MES plans to conduct the necessary tests by the use of the ship on which TCA66-2 with VTA has
been installed, and they will continue the acertainment of the further reliability of VTA from now on.
Further, VTA will be also installed on the test engine (4S50ME-T, TCA55-2) completed in December,
2010 and the experimental tests will be carried out.

In 2011, MES has also received the orders of VTA for main engine of newbuilding ship. In future MES
plans to enlarge the sales market of this technology as one of technologies expected to contribute to the
improvement of fuel consumption with a view to applying not only for newbuildings but also for the
existing ships under operation. Finally, the production number of TCA turbocharger in 2010 is shown as
follows;

Year Book 2011 : Progress of Marine Engineering Technology in the year 2010

MHI and Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (Korea), for which the technical cooperation has been
provided by MHI, produced total 1,754 units of MET type turbocharger in 2010. Among those, the
number of radial turbine turbocharger METI8SRC type for small type 4 cycle engine produced by
Doosan Engine, which has become the second licensee, has accounted for 988 units that has greatly
increased from 720 units of the previous year.
On the other hand, as regards large axial-flow turbine turbocharger, 660 units were produced and the
number reduced from 781 units of the previous year.
Also, MHI produced the total 22 units of 3 kinds of power turbine, MPT33A, MPT42A, MPT53A, for
exhaust heat recovery driven by gas by-passed from 2 cycle low speed engine. Any of them is used for
marine exhaust heat recovery system to drive generator in combination with steam turbine driven by
steam generated in exhaust gas boiler. Among them, MPT33A and MPT42A are combined with steam
turbine of MHI make, and this combined system is called MERS (Mitsubishi Energy Recovery System)
and has been watched with keenest interest by many ship-owners. Fig. 2.3-4 shows the generation
apparatus for exhaust heat recovery system combined with steam turbine.

MHI produced the first unit of MET66MB of MET-MB series of axial-flow turbine turbocharger of high
pressure ratio that had been developed for obtaining the high scavenging pressure demanded by the
turbocharger for engine conformable to the 2nd regulation of NOx, and it was installed on the engine,
and then, the matching operation was carried out. The pressure ratio of compressor reached to 4.5 and
satisfied the turbocharger efficiency demanded by the engine.
MHI completed the production of the first marine unit of MET83MAG of hybrid turbocharger
containing generator within itself which MHI had started the development from 2008 and installed it on
2 cycle slow speed engine of 7S65ME-C type. This is what the permanent magnetic type synchronous
generator of maximum output of 550kW has been directly connected to rotor shaft of large sized
turbocharger MET83MA and generator has been placed within silencer of turbocharger. This is different
from power turbine, and the power is generated by use of a part of exhaust gas power changed in
turbocharger turbine and this power can fully cover all demand of electric power within the ship. The
onshore operation of the engine was carried out at the end of 2010 and the expected generation and
performance of turbocharger was verified. Fig. 2.3-5 shows the hybrid turbocharger under single unit
operation. The large sized bulk carrier installed this turbocharger is scheduled to go into operation
within 2011.

MHI developed the variable capacity turbine for large axial-flow turbine turbocharger. This is called VTI
(Variable Turbine Inlet), and the turbine capacity can be alternatively changed into 2 stages, small and
big, by opening and closing the valve fitted on casing at the gas inlet. Although the variable stages are
limited to 2 stages and the continuous variation is not possible in case of this method in comparison with
the variable method of other firms which can change the equivalent area of turbine by making turbine
nozzle rotate, it is meritorious that the structure is simple and the maintenance is easy. And further, the
retrofit demand may be expected for the existing ship under operation, since it is possible to make the
turbine variable only by replacement of the inside casing with nozzle ring at gas inlet. Fig. 2.3-6 shows
the appearance of the turbocharger fitted VTI turbine.
