Design and Function
4Design and Function
4.1Engine, General
The 8, 10 and 12-cylinder engines described here are liquid-cooled, 4-cycle diesel engines with turbochar
ging and charge air cooling.
Engine Monitoring
Monitoring of the engine is made through various sensors. The sensors are designed, for example, as rpm
and temperature sensors, which report the various operating conditions of the engine to the engine control
unit. The engine control unit operates according to the EVA principle:
E = Eingang (Input)
V = Verarbeitung (Processing)
A = Ausgang (Output)
The engine control units process the information received from the sensors and control the output signals
which are sent to the actuators. The actuators convert the signals into mechanical factors.
Engine Lubrication
Pressure feed lubrication with one lube-oil pump for the bearings of the crankshaft, connecting rods and
camshafts as well as piston pin sockets, roller tappets and rocker arms.
Oil is filtered through a filter module with an integrated oil cooler and a crankcase breather in the main flow.
Ancillary assemblies such as high-pressure pump, turbocharger and PTOs are connected to the engine oil
circuit.
Cooling System
The cooling circuit is a thermostat controlled forced circulation cooling system. The maintenance-free
coolant pump is mounted to front side on the crankcase and is belt driven. The thermostats are located on
the coolant pump and are made with changeable disks.
Intake and Exhaust System
The dry exhaust pipes are mounted to the cylinder heads. The exhaust is routed to the turbocharger from
the high-pressure stage.
Control of the wastegate valves is made directly by the boost pressure. The engine's main-flow oil circuit
supplies the lubrication for the turbocharger and is connected at the oil pressure connections on the tur
bochargers.
The intake air is routed through the air filter to the turbochargers. The pre-compressed charge air is then
routed to the engine.
Fuel System, General
The fuel system is divided into a low-pressure and a high-pressure system.
The fuel lines, manual pump and the fuel filters are all part of the low-pressure system.
The fuel feed pumps that are flange-mounted to the high-pressure pump act as the interface to the highpressure system.
The high-pressure system consist of the high-pressure pump which is fed by the flange-mounted delivery
pumps and the high-pressure lines and injection nozzles.
Carefully read the Operating Instructions before starting any work!
This is especially valid for the chapter on General Safety Instructions

Decommissioning and Recommissioning
10.3 Temporary Decommissioning of Engines
Temporary anticorrosion protection according to MAN works norm M 3069 is required for engines which are
to be put out of service depending on the duration.
The works norm can be obtained from our After-Sales Service department Nuremberg works.
NOTE!
A proper and careful recommissioning of new or operated engines has a great impact on
the operating safety and remaining life of the engines.
In general the goal is to preserve the decommissioned engines or new engines (after the
factory tests).
If the engine was not preserved before decommissioning, there is a risk that the cylinder
liners, piston rings and valves will corrode, especially when the intake and exhaust opening
are not closed off or when the engine is stored in the open.
Foreign matter, rain water and similar conditions require a complete disassembly of the en
gine.

Decommissioning and Recommissioning
10.4 Recommissioning of Decommissioned Engines
10.4.1 Commissioning of Preserved Engines according to MAN-Werknorm M 3059
1. Remove external preservation. Never use a high pressure cleaner for this.
2. Remove caps from intake and exhaust openings.
3. Check cooling system; add antifreeze according to the Fluids and Lubricants list (see “Fluids and Lubric
ants ..."); check concentration and correct.
4. Check engine oil level and add fresh approved engine oil if necessary.
5. Fill fuel, bleed system.
Check the operation of the monitoring and emergency shut off equipment.
6. Check condition and proper installation of elastic fasteners, such as V-belts, coolant hoses and charge
air hoses. Retighten if necessary.
7. Rotate engine with fuel supply turned off until oil pressure builds up. Operate starter no more than
5 seconds for this.
8. Open fuel supply and start engine. After engine is running, operate engine above idle speed to avoid
insufficient lubrication of the cylinder liners.
9. Check engine for leaks, unusual noises and observe the oil pressure and all temperatures. Increase en
gine speed in steps.
10.After a max. of 25 operating hours, drain preservation oil from engine and change oil filter; fill engine
with fresh approve engine oil.
10.4.2 Commissioning of Non-Preserved Engines
In addition to the work steps for a preserved engine, the commissioning of a non-preserved engine requires
the following extra work depending on the possible nonuse damages.
1. Check combustion chambers with an endoscope, to do this, remove/install injectors.
Check valve for easy movement; check valve clearance and adjust if necessary.
Replace any damaged/corroded parts.
2. Drain old oil from engine and change oil filter. Fill engine with fresh approved engine oil.
3. Check cooling system for corrosion; check coolant for proper concentration; if in doubt, change coolant.
Before adding new coolant , clean coolant chambers and remove/install coolant pump and thermostat if
necessary; replace the slide ring seal of the coolant pump and thermostat elements; pressure test cool
ing system.
4. Check clean air system, air filter and turbocharger for dirt and corrosion. Clean or repair if necessary.
5. Clean fuel system and drain old fuel if necessary. Clean/check/replace filter.
Carefully read the Operating Instructions before starting any work!
