This should be seen as an easily comprehensible
sound analysis of MAN GenSets. These measurements can be used in the project phase as a basis
for decisions concerning damping and isolation in
buildings, engine rooms and around exhaust systems.
Measuring equipment
All measurements have been made with Precision
Sound Level Meters according to standard IEC
Publication 651or 804, type 1 – with 1/1 or 1/3
octave filters according to standard IEC Publication
225. Used sound calibrators are according to
standard IEC Publication 942, class 1.
Definitions
Sound Pressure Level: LP = 20 x log P/P0 [dB ]
D 10 25 0
Sound measuring "on-site"
The Sound Power Level can be directly applied to
on-site conditions. It does not, however, necessarily
result in the same Sound Pressure Level as measured on test bed.
Normally the Sound Pressure Level on-site is 3-5
dB higher than the given surface Sound Pressure
Level (Lpf) measured at test bed. However, it
depends strongly on the acoustical properties of the
actual engine room.
Standards
Determination of Sound Power from Sound Pressure measurements will normally be carried out
according to:
ISO 3744 (Measuring method, instruments, background noise, no of microphone positions etc) and
ISO 3746 (Accuracy due to criterion for suitability of
test environment, K2>2 dB).
where P is the RMS value of sound pressure in pascals, and P0 is 20 μPa for measurement in air.
Sound Power Level: LW = 10 x log P/P0 [dB]
where P is the RMS value of sound power in watts,
and P0 is 1 pW.
Measuring conditions
All measurements are carried out in one of MAN
Diesel & Turbo's test bed facilities.
During measurements, the exhaust gas is led outside the test bed through a silencer. The GenSet is
placed on a resilient bed with generator and engine
on a common base frame.
Sound Power is normally determined from Sound
Pressure measurements.
New measurement of exhaust sound is carried out
at the test bed, unsilenced, directly after turbocharger, with a probe microphone inside the
exhaust pipe.
Previously used method for measuring exhaust
sound are DS/ISO 2923 and DIN 45635, here is
measured on unsilenced exhaust sound, one meter
from the opening of the exhaust pipe, see fig.1.
This paper describes typical structure-borne noise
levels from standard resiliently mounted MAN GenSets. The levels can be used in the project phase
as a reasonable basis for decisions concerning
damping and insulation in buildings, engine rooms
and surroundings in order to avoid noise and vibration problems.
References
References and guidelines according to ISO 9611
and ISO 11689.
Operating condition
Levels are valid for standard resilient mounted GenSets on flexible rubber support of 55° sh (A) on relatively stiff and well-supported foundations.
D 10 25 0
Frequency range
The levels are valid in the frequency range 31.5 Hz
to 4 kHz.

Exhaust gas components of medium
speed four-stroke diesel engines
The exhaust gas is composed of numerous constituents which are formed either from the combustion
air, the fuel and lube oil used or which are chemical
reaction products formed during the combustion
process. Only some of these are to be considered
as harmful substances.
For the typical exhaust gas composition of a MAN
Diesel & Turbo four-stroke engine without any
exhaust gas treatment devices, please see tables
below (only for guidance). All engines produced currently fulfil IMO Tier II.
Carbon dioxide CO
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a product of combustion of
all fossil fuels.
Among all internal combustion engines the diesel
engine has the lowest specific CO2 emission based
on the same fuel quality, due to its superior efficiency.
2
D 10 28 0
Hydrocarbons HC
The hydrocarbons (HC) contained in the exhaust
gas are composed of a multitude of various organic
compounds as a result of incomplete combustion.
Due to the efficient combustion process, the HC
content of exhaust gas of MAN Diesel & Turbo fourstroke diesel engines is at a very low level.
Particulate matter PM
Particulate matter (PM) consists of soot (elemental
carbon) and ash.
Sulphur oxides SO
Sulphur oxides (SOX) are formed by the combustion
of the sulphur contained in the fuel.
Among all propulsion systems the diesel process
results in the lowest specific SOx emission based
on the same fuel quality, due to its superior efficiency.
Nitrogen oxides NO
The high temperatures prevailing in the combustion
chamber of an internal combustion engine causes
the chemical reaction of nitrogen (contained in the
combustion air as well as in some fuel grades) and
oxygen (contained in the combustion air) to nitrogen
oxides (NOX).
X
X
Carbon monoxide CO
Carbon monoxide (CO) is formed during incomplete
combustion.
In MAN Diesel & Turbo four-stroke diesel engines,
optimisation of mixture formation and turbocharging
process successfully reduces the CO content of the
exhaust gas to a very low level.
In general the engine is designed to fulfil the
emission limits according Worldbank II
(2007/2008) for plants ≤ 300 MWth and nondegraded airshed.
SOx and PM emissions are mainly influenced by the
fuel specification. The sulphur and the ash content
must be limited accordingly. The NOx emission is
influenced by the ambient conditions, fuel specifica-
tions and operating conditions of the engine.
Please contact MAN Diesel & Turbo at an early
stage for project specific emission calculations
(contact your sales representative).
Needed adaptions of the engine parameters to fulfil
project specific emission limits may in minor extent
affect the fuel oil consumption.

General
The engine is a turbocharged, single-acting fourstroke diesel engine of the trunk piston type with a
cylinder bore of 270 mm and a stroke of 380 mm.
The crank shaft speed is 720 or 750 rpm.
The engine can be delivered as an in-line engine
with 5 to 9 cylinders.
For easy maintenance the cylinder unit consists of:
the cylinder head, water jacket, cylinder liner, piston
and connecting rod which can be removed as complete assemblies with possibility for maintenance by
recycling. This allows shoreside reconditioning work
which normally yields a longer time between major
overhauls.
The engine is designed for an unrestricted load profile on HFO, low emission, high reliability and simple
installation.
General description
Engine frame
The monobloc cast iron engine frame is designed to
be very rigid. All the components of the engine
frame are held under compression stress. The
frame is designed for an ideal flow of forces from
the cylinder head down to the crankshaft and gives
the outer shell low surface vibrations.
Two camshafts are located in the engine frame. The
valve camshaft is located on the exhaust side in a
very high position and the injection camshaft is
located on the service side of the engine.
The main bearings for the underslung crankshaft
are carried in heavy supports by tierods from the
intermediate frame floor, and are secured with the
bearing caps. These are provided with side guides
and held in place by means of studs with hydraulically tightened nuts. The main bearing is equipped
with replaceable shells which are fitted without
scraping.
On the sides of the frame there are covers for
access to the camshafts and crankcase. Some
covers are fitted with relief valves which will operate
if oil vapours in the crankcase are ignited (for
instance in the case of a hot bearing).

Figure 1: Engine frame.
Base frame
The engine and alternator are mounted on a rigid
base frame. The alternator is considered as an integral part during engine design. The base frame,
which is flexibly mounted, acts as a lubricating oil
reservoir for the engine.
Cylinder liner
The cylinder liner is made of special centrifugal cast
iron and fitted in a bore in the engine frame. The
liner is clamped by the cylinder head and rests by
its flange on the water jacket.

General description
The cylinder head is tightened by means of 4 nuts
and 4 studs which are screwed into the engine
frame. The nuts are tightened by means of hydraulic
jacks.
The cylinder head has a screwed-on top cover. It
has two basic functions: oil sealing of the rocker
chamber and covering of the complete head top
face.
1689477-8.1
Page 2 (7)
Figure 2: Cylinder liner.
The liner can thus expand freely downwards when
heated during the running of the engine. The liner is
of the flange type and the height of the flange is
identical with the water cooled area which gives a
uniform temperature pattern over the entire liner
surface. The lower part of the liner is uncooled to
secure a sufficient margin for cold corrosion in the
bottom end. There is no water in the crankcase
area.
The gas sealing between liner and cylinder head
consists of an iron ring.
To reduce bore polishing and lube oil consumption
a slip-fit-type top land ring is arranged on the top
side of the liner.
Cylinder head
The cylinder head is of cast iron with an integrated
charge air receiver, made in one piece. It has a
bore-cooled thick walled bottom. It has a central
bore for the fuel injection valve and 4 valve cross
flow design, with high flow coefficient. Intensive
water cooling of the nozzle tip area made it possible
to omit direct nozzle cooling. The valve pattern is
turned about 20° to the axis and achieves a certain
intake swirl.
Figure 3: Cylinder head.
Air inlet and exhaust valves
The valve spindles are made of heat-resistant mate-
rial and the spindle seats are armoured with wel-
ded-on hard metal.
All valve spindles are fitted with valve rotators which
turn the spindles each time the valves are activated.
The turning of the spindles ensures even temperature levels on the valve discs and prevents deposits
on the seating surfaces.
The cylinder head is equipped with replaceable
valve seat rings. The exhaust valve seat rings are
water cooled in order to assure low valve temperatures.
The seat rings are made of heat-resistant steel. The
seating surfaces are hardened in order to minimize
wear and prevent dent marks.

Valve actuating gear
Drive of the push rod for the inlet and exhaust
valves is from the camshaft via inlet and exhaust
rocking levers supported on a joint pillow, with the
cam movements being transmitted via a follower.
The push rod movement is in the cylinder head
transmitted to short rockers, and from these to a
guided, spring-loaded yoke. This yoke operates two
equal valves each.
The pillow supporting the rocking levers (the rocking
lever casing) is bolted to the cylinder head.
Bearing bushes, ball pans and yokes are lubricated
by means of a fitting in the pillow.
Fuel injection system
The engine is provided with one fuel injection pump
unit, an injection valve, and a high pressure pipe for
each cylinder.
The injection pump unit is mounted on the engine
frame. The pump unit consists of a pump housing
embracing a roller guide, a centrally placed pump
barrel and a plunger. The pump is activated by the
fuel cam, and the volume injected is controlled by
turning the plunger.
The fuel injection valve is located in a valve sleeve in
the centre of the cylinder head. The opening of the
valve is controlled by the fuel oil pressure, and the
valve is closed by a spring.
The high pressure pipe which is led through a bore
in the cylinder head is surrounded by a shielding
tube.
The shielding tube also acts as a drain channel in
order to ensure any leakage from the fuel valve and
the high pressure pipe will be drained off.
The complete injection equipment including injection pumps and high pressure pipes is well
enclosed behind removable covers.
Piston
The piston, which is oil-cooled and of the composite type, has a body made of nodular cast iron and
a crown made of forged deformation resistant steel.
It is fitted with 2 compression rings and 1 oil scraper
ring in hardened ring grooves.
General description
Figure 4: Piston
By the use of compression rings with different barrelshaped profiles and chrome-plated running surfaces, the piston ring pack is optimized for maximum
sealing effect and minimum wear rate.
The piston has a cooling oil space close to the piston crown and the piston ring zone. The heat transfer, and thus the cooling effect, is based on the
shaker effect arising during the piston movement.
The cooling medium is oil from the engine's lubricating oil system.
Oil is supplied to the cooling oil space through
channels from the oil grooves in the piston pin
bosses. Oil is drained from the cooling oil space
through ducts situated diametrically to the inlet
channels.
The piston pin is fully floating and kept in position in
the axial direction by two circlips.
Connecting rod
The connecting rod is of the marine head type.
The joint is above the connecting rod bearing. This
means that the big-end bearing must not be
opened when pulling the piston. This is of advantage for the operational safety (no positional
changes/no new adaption), and this solution also
reduces the height dimension required for piston
assembly / removal.
Connecting rod and bearing body consist of CrMo
steel. They are die-forged products.
The bearing shells are identical to those of the
crankshaft bearing. Thin-walled bearing shells having an AISn running layer are used.

General description
Camshaft and camshaft drive
The inlet and exhaust valves as well as the fuel
pumps of the engine are actuated by two cam-
shafts.
Due to the two-camshaft design an optimal adjustment of the gas exchange is possible without interrupting the fuel injection timing. It is also possible to
adjust the fuel injection without interrupting the gas
exchange.
The two camshafts are located in the engine frame.
On the exhaust side, in a very high position, the
valve camshaft is located to allow a short and stiff
valve train and to reduce moving masses.
1689477-8.1

Figure 5: Connecting rod.
Crankshaft and main bearings
The crankshaft, which is a one-piece forging with
hardened bearing surfaces to achieve better wear
resistance, is suspended in underslung bearings.
The main bearings are of the trimetal type, which
are coated with a running layer. To attain a suitable
bearing pressure and vibration level the crankshaft
is provided with counterweights, which are attached
to the crankshaft by means of two hydraulic
screws.
At the flywheel end the crankshaft is fitted with a
gear wheel which, through two intermediate wheels,
drives the camshafts.
Also fitted here is a coupling flange for the connection of an alternator. At the opposite end (front end)
there is a gear wheel connection for lube oil and
water pumps.
Lubricating oil for the main bearings is supplied
through holes drilled in the engine frame. From the
main bearings the oil passes through bores in the
crankshaft to the big-end bearings and thence
through channels in the connecting rods to lubricate
the piston pins and cool the pistons.
Figure 6: Twin camshafts.
The injection camshaft is located at the service side
of the engine.
Both camshafts are designed as cylinder sections
and bearing sections in such a way that disassem-
bly of single cylinder sections is possible through
the side openings in the crankcase.
The two camshafts and the governor are driven by
the main gear train which is located at the flywheel
end of the engine. They rotate with a speed which
is half that of the crankshaft.
2015.11.26
MAN Diesel & Turbo

The camshafts are located in bearing bushes which
are fitted in bores in the engine frame; each bearing
is replaceable and locked in position in the engine
frame by means of a locking screw.

Figure 7: Front-end box.
The gear wheel for driving the camshaft as well as a
gear wheel connection for the governor drive are
screwed on to the aftmost section.
The lubricating oil pipes for the gear wheels are
equipped with nozzles which are adjusted to apply
the oil at the points where the gear wheels are in
mesh.
The components can be exchanged by means of
the clip on/clip off concept without removing any
pipes. This also means that all connections for the
engine, such as cooling water and fuel oil, are to be
connected at the front end of the engine to ensure
simple installation.
Governor
Front-end box
The front-end box is fastened to the front end of the

Safety and control system
The engine is equipped with MAN Diesel & Turbo’s
own design of safety and control system called
SaCoS
toring system” and “B 19 00 0 Communication from
the GenSet”.
Turbocharger system
The turbocharger system of the engine, which is a
constant pressure system, consists of an exhaust
gas receiver, a turbocharger, a charging air cooler
and a charging air receiver.
The turbine wheel of the turbocharger is driven by
the engine exhaust gas, and the turbine wheel
drives the turbocharger compressor, which is
mounted on the common shaft. The compressor
draws air from the engine room through the air filters.
The turbocharger forces the air through the charging air cooler to the charging air receiver. From the
charging air receiver the air flows to each cylinder
through the inlet valves.
The charging air cooler is a compact two-stage
tube-type cooler with a large cooling surface. The
high temperature water is passed through the first
stage of the charging air cooler and the low temperature water is passed through the second stage. At
each stage of the cooler the water is passed two
times through the cooler, the end covers being
designed with partitions which cause the cooling
water to turn.
The cooling water for the low temperature stages of
the charge air is controlled by the scavenging pressure to ensure sufficient scavenging temperature for
burning HFO. A water mist catcher can be adopted
after the air cooler as an option.
From the exhaust valves, the exhaust gas is led
through to the exhaust gas receiver where the pulsatory pressure from the individual cylinders is
equalized and passed on to the turbocharger as a
constant pressure, and further to the exhaust outlet
and silencer arrangement.
The exhaust gas receiver is made of pipe sections,
one for each cylinder, connected to each other by
means of compensators to prevent excessive stress
in the pipes due to heat expansion.
.
See “B 19 00 0 Safety, control and moni-
one
General description
To avoid excessive thermal loss and to ensure a
reasonably low surface temperature the exhaust
gas receiver is insulated.
Compressed air system
The engine is started by means of a built-on air
driven starter.
The compressed air system comprises a dirt
strainer, main starting valve and a pilot valve which
also acts as an emergency valve, making it possible
to start the engine in case of a power failure.
Lubricating oil system
All moving parts of the engine are lubricated with oil
circulating under pressure.
The lubricating oil pump is of the helical gear type.
A pressure control valve is built into the system. The
pressure control valve reduces the pressure before
the filter with a signal taken after the filter to ensure
constant oil pressure with dirty filters.
The pump draws the oil from the sump in the base
frame, and on the pressure side the oil passes
through the lubricating oil cooler and the full-flow
depth filter with a nominel fineness of 15 microns.
Both the oil pump, oil cooler and the oil filter are
placed in the front end box. The system can also be
equipped with a centrifugal filter.
Cooling is carried out by the low temperature cool-
ing water system and temperature regulation effec-
ted by a thermostatic 3-way valve on the oil side.
The engine is as standard equipped with an electri-
cally driven prelubricating pump.
Cooling water system
The cooling water system consists of a low temper-
ature system and a high temperature system.
Both the low and the high temperature systems are
cooled by fresh water.
Only a one string cooling water system to the
engine is required.
The water in the low temperature system passes
through the low temperature circulating pump
which drives the water through the second stage of
the charge air cooler and then through the lubricat-
ing oil cooler before it leaves the engine together
with the high temperature water.

Page 7 (7)
The high temperature cooling water system passes
through the high temperature circulating pump and
then through the first stage of the charge air cooler
before it enters the cooling water jacket and the cylinder head. Then the water leaves the engine with
the low temperature water.
Both the low and high temperature water leaves the
engine through separate three-way thermostatic
valves which control the water temperature.
It should be noted that there is no water in the
engine frame.

(sphere passing mesh) The fuel oil filter duplex is
with star-pleated filter elements and allows changeover during operation without pressure-loss. The filter is compact and easy to maintain, requiring only
manual cleaning when maximum allowable pressure
drop is reached. When maximum pressure drop is

reached the standby filter chamber is brought on
line simultaneously as the dirty one is isolated by
means of the change-over valve. After venting, the
dirty element can be removed, cleaned and refilled
to be the standby filter chamber.
Fuel injection equipment
Each cylinder unit has its own set of injection equipment comprising injection pump unit, high-pressure
pipe and injection valve.
The injection equipment and the distribution supply
pipes are housed in a fully enclosed compartment
thus minimizing heat losses from the preheated fuel.
This arrangement reduces external surface temperatures and the risk of fire caused by fuel leakage.
The injection pump units are with integrated roller
guide directly above the camshaft.
The fuel quantity injected into each cylinder unit is
adjusted by means of the governor, which maintains the engine speed at the preset value by a continuous positioning of the fuel pump racks, via a
common regulating shaft and spring-loaded linkages for each pump.
The injection valve is for "deep" building-in to the
centre of the cylinder head.
The injection oil is supplied from the injection pump
to the injection valve via a double-walled pressure
pipe installed in a bore in the cylinder head.
This bore has an external connection to lead the
leak oil from the injection valve and high-pressure
pipe to the waste oil system, through the double
walled pressure pipe.
A bore in the cylinder head vents the space below
the bottom rubber sealing ring on the injection
valve, thus preventing any pressure build-up due to
gas leakage, but also unveiling any malfunction of
the bottom rubber sealing ring due to leak oil.
Waste oil system
Clean leak oil from the fuel injection valves, fuel
injection pumps and high-pressure pipes, is led to
the fuel leakage alarm unit, from which it is drained
into the clean leak fuel oil tank.
The leakage alarm unit consists of a box, with a
float switch for level monitoring. In case of a leakage, larger than normal, the float switch will initiate
an alarm. The supply fuel oil to the engine is led
3700163-4.1
Page 2 (2)
through the leakage alarm unit in order to keep this
heated up, thereby ensuring free drainage passage
even for high-viscous waste/leak oil.
Waste and leak oil from the hot box is drained into
the sludge tank.
Clean leak fuel tank
Clean leak fuel is drained by gravity from the engine.
The fuel should be collected in a separate clean
leak fuel tank, from where it can be pumped to the
service tank and reused without separation. The
pipes from the engine to the clean leak fuel tank
should be arranged continuously sloping. The tank
and the pipes must be heated and insulated, unless
the installation is designed for operation exclusively
on MDO/MGO.
The leak fuel piping should be fully closed to pre-
vent dirt from entering the system.
Sludge tank
In normal operation no fuel should leak out from the
components of the fuel system. In connection with
maintenance, or due to unforeseen leaks, fuel or
water may spill in the hot box of the engine. The
spilled liquids are collected and drained by gravity
from the engine through the dirty fuel connection.
Waste and leak oil from the hot box is drained into
the sludge tank.
The tank and the pipes must be heated and insula-
ted, unless the installation is designed for operation

MAN Diesel & Turbo is continuously adapting our
engine programme to the changing market conditions.
At the request of various shipowners, we have
developed and introduced a new IMO Tier II/III compliant tuning method for GenSets which mostly
operate below the normal 75% MCR.
The new tuning method is referred to as part load
optimisation (PLO), and it is recommended for GenSets which mostly run below 75% MCR.
Traditionally, GenSets are fuel oil optimised at 85%
MCR, but with PLO tuning, the engine performance
is optimised at approx. 60-65% MCR, which
ensures optimisation in the low-and part-load areas.
The most obvious benefit of applying PLO is the fuel
oil saving of, typically, up to 5 g/kWh, depending on
engine type/model and load point.
Furthermore, thanks to the improved combustion
process resulting from the optimised nozzle ring in
the turbocharger, valuable engine components,
such as pistons, fuel equipment, valves and T/C
nozzle ring, will be operating under optimal conditions at the given load.
The GenSets are fully compliant with IMO Tier II,
even though the fuel oil consumption is reduced in
the low and part load area, as a fuel oil penalty is
imposed in the high load range.
However, a fuel oil penalty will rarely occur, since it
is unusual that GenSets operate beyond 75% load,
because the power management system will
engage an additional GenSet when more power is
needed.
PLO will give the same relative advantage when
applied in combination with SCR-systems for IMO
Tier III compliance.

MAN Diesel & Turbo four-stroke diesel engines can be operated with anyheavy fuel oil obtained from crude oil that also satisfies the requirements intable The fuel specification and corresponding characteristics for heavy fuel

accordingly. To ensure that the relationship between the fuel, spare partsand repair / maintenance costs remains favourable at all times, the followingpoints should be observed.

The quality of the heavy fuel oil largely depends on the quality of crude oiland on the refining process used. This is why the properties of heavy fuel oilswith the same viscosity may vary considerably depending on the bunkerpositions. Heavy fuel oil is normally a mixture of residual oil and distillates.The components of the mixture are normally obtained from modern refineryprocesses, such as Catcracker or Visbreaker. These processes canadversely affect the stability of the fuel as well as its ignition and combustionproperties. The processing of the heavy fuel oil and the operating result ofthe engine also depend heavily on these factors.
Bunker positions with standardised heavy fuel oil qualities should preferablybe used. If oils need to be purchased from independent dealers, also ensurethat these also comply with the international specifications. The engine oper-ator is responsible for ensuring that suitable heavy fuel oils are chosen.
Fuels intended for use in an engine must satisfy the specifications to ensuresufficient quality. The limit values for heavy fuel oils are specified in Table
fuel specification and corresponding characteristics for heavy fuel oil. The
entries in the last column of this Table provide important background infor-mation and must therefore be observed
The relevant international specification is ISO 8217 in the respectively appli-cable version. All qualities in these specifications up to K700 can be used,provided the fuel system has been designed for these fuels. To use any fuels,which do not comply with these specifications (e.g. crude oil), consultationwith Technical Service of MAN Diesel & Turbo in Augsburg is required. Heavyfuel oils with a maximum density of 1,010 kg/m3 may only be used if up-to-date separators are installed.
Even though the fuel properties specified in the table entitled
cation and corresponding properties for heavy fuel oilsatisfy the above
requirements, they probably do not adequately define the ignition and com-bustion properties and the stability of the fuel. This means that the operatingbehaviour of the engine can depend on properties that are not defined in thespecification. This particularly applies to the oil property that causes forma-tion of deposits in the combustion chamber, injection system, gas ducts andexhaust gas system. A number of fuels have a tendency towards incompati-bility with lubricating oil which leads to deposits being formed in the fueldelivery pump that can block the pumps. It may therefore be necessary toexclude specific fuels that could cause problems.
The addition of engine oils (old lubricating oil, ULO – used lubricating oil) andadditives that are not manufactured from mineral oils, (coal-tar oil, for exam-ple), and residual products of chemical or other processes such as solvents(polymers or chemical waste) is not permitted. Some of the reasons for this
The fuel specifi-
The
Specification of heavy fuel oil (HFO)D010.000.023-05-0001
are as follows: abrasive and corrosive effects, unfavourable combustioncharacteristics, poor compatibility with mineral oils and, last but not least,adverse effects on the environment. The order for the fuel must expresslystate what is not permitted as the fuel specifications that generally apply donot include this limitation.
If engine oils (old lubricating oil, ULO – used lubricating oil) are added to fuel,this poses a particular danger as the additives in the lubricating oil act asemulsifiers that cause dirt, water and catfines to be transported as fine sus-pension. They therefore prevent the necessary cleaning of the fuel. In ourexperience (and this has also been the experience of other manufacturers),this can severely damage the engine and turbocharger components.
The addition of chemical waste products (solvents, for example) to the fuel isprohibited for environmental protection reasons according to the resolutionof the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee passed on 1st January
1992.
Leak oil collectors that act as receptacles for leak oil, and also return andoverflow pipes in the lube oil system, must not be connected to the fuel tank.Leak oil lines should be emptied into sludge tanks.

The purpose of the following information is to show the relationship betweenthe quality of heavy fuel oil, heavy fuel oil processing, the engine operationand operating results more clearly.
Economical operation with heavy fuel oil within the limit values specified inthe table entitled The fuel specification and corresponding properties for
heavy fuel oilis possible under normal operating conditions, provided the
system is working properly and regular maintenance is carried out. If theserequirements are not satisfied, shorter maintenance intervals, higher wearand a greater need for spare parts is to be expected. The required mainte-nance intervals and operating results determine which quality of heavy fuel oilshould be used.
It is an established fact that the price advantage decreases as viscosityincreases. It is therefore not always economical to use the fuel with the high-est viscosity as in many cases the quality of this fuel will not be the best.
Heavy fuel oils with a high viscosity may be of an inferior quality. The maxi-mum permissible viscosity depends on the preheating system installed andthe capacity (flow rate) of the separator.
The prescribed injection viscosity of 12 – 14 mm2/s (for GenSets, L16/24,L21/31, L23/30H, L27/38, L28/32H: 12 – 18 cSt) and corresponding fueltemperature upstream of the engine must be observed. This is the only wayto ensure efficient atomisation and mixture formation and therefore low-resi-due combustion. This also prevents mechanical overloading of the injectionsystem. For the prescribed injection viscosity and/or the required fuel oil tem-perature upstream of the engine, refer to the viscosity temperature diagram.
Whether or not problems occur with the engine in operation depends on howcarefully the heavy fuel oil has been processed. Particular care should betaken to ensure that highly-abrasive inorganic foreign matter (catalyst parti-cles, rust, sand) are effectively removed. It has been shown in practice thatwear as a result of abrasion in the engine increases considerably if the alumi-num and silicium content is higher than 15 mg/kg.
Viscosity and density influence the cleaning effect. This must be taken intoaccount when designing and making adjustments to the cleaning system.
The heavy fuel oil is pre-cleaned in the settling tank. This pre-cleaning ismore effective the longer the fuel remains in the tank and the lower the vis-cosity of the heavy fuel oil (maximum preheating temperature 75 °C in orderto prevent the formation of asphalt in the heavy fuel oil). One settling tank issuitable for heavy fuel oils with a viscosity below 380 mm2/s at 50 °C. If theheavy fuel oil has high concentrations of foreign material or if fuels accordingto ISO-F-RM, G/K380 or K700 are used, two settling tanks are necessary,one of which must be designed for operation over 24 hours. Before transfer-ring the contents into the service tank, water and sludge must be drainedfrom the settling tank.
A separator is particularly suitable for separating material with a higher spe-cific density – such as water, foreign matter and sludge. The separators mustbe self-cleaning (i.e. the cleaning intervals must be triggered automatically).
Only new generation separators should be used. They are extremely effectivethroughout a wide density range with no changeover required, and can sep-arate water from heavy fuel oils with a density of up to 1.01 g/ml at 15 °C.

Figure 1: Arrangement of heavy fuel oil cleaning equipment and/or separator
The separators must be arranged according to the manufacturers' currentrecommendations (Alfa Laval and Westphalia). The density and viscosity ofthe heavy fuel oil in particular must be taken into account. If separators byother manufacturers are used, MAN Diesel & Turbo should be consulted.
If the treatment is in accordance with the MAN Diesel & Turbo specificationsand the correct separators are chosen, it may be assumed that the resultsstated in the table entitled
Achievable contents of foreign matter and water
for inorganic foreign matter and water in heavy fuel oil will be achieved at theengine inlet.
Results obtained during operation in practice show that the wear occurs as aresult of abrasion in the injection system and the engine will remain withinacceptable limits if these values are complied with. In addition, an optimumlube oil treatment process must be ensured.

< 5 µm< 20 mg/kg
It is particularly important to ensure that the water separation process is asthorough as possible as the water takes the form of large droplets, and not afinely distributed emulsion. In this form, water also promotes corrosion andsludge formation in the fuel system and therefore impairs the supply, atomi-sation and combustion of the heavy fuel oil. If the water absorbed in the fuelis seawater, harmful sodium chloride and other salts dissolved in this waterwill enter the engine.

Water-containing sludge must be removed from the settling tank before theseparation process starts, and must also be removed from the service tankat regular intervals. The tank's ventilation system must be designed in such away that condensate cannot flow back into the tank.
If the vanadium/sodium ratio is unfavourable, the melting point of the heavyfuel oil ash may fall in the operating area of the exhaust-gas valve which canlead to high-temperature corrosion. Most of the water and water-solublesodium compounds it contains can be removed by pretreating the heavy fueloil in the settling tank and in the separators.
The risk of high-temperature corrosion is low if the sodium content is onethird of the vanadium content or less. It must also be ensured that sodiumdoes not enter the engine in the form of seawater in the intake air.
If the sodium content is higher than 100 mg/kg, this is likely to result in ahigher quantity of salt deposits in the combustion chamber and exhaust-gassystem. This will impair the function of the engine (including the suction func-tion of the turbocharger).
Under certain conditions, high-temperature corrosion can be prevented byusing a fuel additive that increases the melting point of heavy fuel oil ash (alsosee
Additives for heavy fuel oils).
Fuel ash consists for the greater part of vanadium oxide and nickel sulphate(see above section for more information). Heavy fuel oils containing a highproportion of ash in the form of foreign matter, e.g. sand, corrosion com-pounds and catalyst particles, accelerate the mechanical wear in the engine.Catalyst particles produced as a result of the catalytic cracking process maybe present in the heavy fuel oils. In most cases, these catalyst particles arealuminium silicates causing a high degree of wear in the injection system andthe engine. The aluminium content determined, multiplied by a factor ofbetween 5 and 8 (depending on the catalytic bond), is roughly the same asthe proportion of catalyst remnants in the heavy fuel oil.
If a homogeniser is used, it must never be installed between the settling tankand separator as otherwise it will not be possible to ensure satisfactory sepa-ration of harmful contaminants, particularly seawater.
National and international transportation and storage regulations governingthe use of fuels must be complied with in relation to the flash point. In gen-eral, a flash point of above 60 °C is prescribed for diesel engine fuels.
The pour point is the temperature at which the fuel is no longer flowable(pumpable). As the pour point of many low-viscosity heavy fuel oils is higherthan 0 °C, the bunker facility must be preheated, unless fuel in accordancewith RMA or RMB is used. The entire bunker facility must be designed insuch a way that the heavy fuel oil can be preheated to around 10 °C abovethe pour point.
If the viscosity of the fuel is higher than 1000 mm2/s (cSt), or the temperatureis not at least 10 °C above the pour point, pump problems will occur. Formore information, also refer to paragraph Low-temperature behaviour (ASTM
D 97.
If the proportion of asphalt is more than two thirds of the coke residue (Con-radson), combustion may be delayed which in turn may increase the forma-tion of combustion residues, leading to such as deposits on and in the injec-tion nozzles, large amounts of smoke, low output, increased fuel consump-tion and a rapid rise in ignition pressure as well as combustion close to thecylinder wall (thermal overloading of lubricating oil film). If the ratio of asphaltto coke residues reaches the limit 0.66, and if the asphalt content exceeds8%, the risk of deposits forming in the combustion chamber and injection

system is higher. These problems can also occur when using unstable heavyfuel oils, or if incompatible heavy fuel oils are mixed. This would lead to anincreased deposition of asphalt (see paragraph Compatibility).
Nowadays, to achieve the prescribed reference viscosity, cracking-processproducts are used as the low viscosity ingredients of heavy fuel oils althoughthe ignition characteristics of these oils may also be poor. The cetane num-ber of these compounds should be > 35. If the proportion of aromatic hydro-carbons is high (more than 35 %), this also adversely affects the ignitionquality.
The ignition delay in heavy fuel oils with poor ignition characteristics is longer;the combustion is also delayed which can lead to thermal overloading of theoil film at the cylinder liner and also high cylinder pressures. The ignition delayand accompanying increase in pressure in the cylinder are also influenced bythe end temperature and compression pressure, i.e. by the compressionratio, the charge-air pressure and charge-air temperature.
The disadvantages of using fuels with poor ignition characteristics can belimited by preheating the charge air in partial load operation and reducing theoutput for a limited period. However, a more effective solution is a high com-pression ratio and operational adjustment of the injection system to the igni-tion characteristics of the fuel used, as is the case with MAN Diesel & Turbopiston engines.
The ignition quality is one of the most important properties of the fuel. Thisvalue appears as CCAI in ISO 8217. This method is only applicable to"straight run" residual oils. The increasing complexity of refinery processeshas the effect that the CCAI method does not correctly reflect the ignitionbehaviour for all residual oils.
A testing instrument has been developed based on the constant volumecombustion method (fuel combustion analyser FCA), which is used in somefuel testing laboratories (FCA) in conformity with IP 541.The instrument measures the ignition delay to determine the ignition qualityof a fuel and this measurement is converted into an instrument-specificcetane number (ECN: Estimated Cetane Number). It has been determinedthat heavy fuel oils with a low ECN number cause operating problems andmay even lead to damage to the engine. An ECN >20 can be consideredacceptable.
As the liquid components of the heavy fuel oil decisively influence the ignitionquality, flow properties and combustion quality, the bunker operator isresponsible for ensuring that the quality of heavy fuel oil delivered is suitablefor the diesel engine. Also see illustration entitled
the CCAI – assigning the CCAI ranges to engine types.
