Short Description of the Engine
1.General
General data about the engine are given as follows:
DThe W−X engine is a single acting, two-stroke diesel engine of crosshead design
with exhaust gas turbocharging and uniflow scavenging.
DThe engine is reversible and is directly connected to the propeller.
DThe W−X concept is based on the Common Rail System, with full electronic
control of the fuel injection system and the exhaust valve operation.
DThe engine control can have different remote controls, which are related to our
specifications, from recommended manufacturers.
DIf the remote control has a failure, the engine can be controlled with the
emergency control from the local control panel.
DTie rods hold the bedplate, columns and cylinder block together.
0050−1/A1
DA partition isolates the crankcase from the cylinder block. This partition includes
the piston rod glands for the piston rods.
DThe thrust bearing and turning gear are installed on the driving end of the engine.
DThe engine control system WECS-9520 controls the exhaust valve operation,
electronic fuel injection and cylinder lubricating system.
DThe lubrication oil, coolant water, fuel supply, booster pumps and air
compressors are parts of the engine room installation (ancillary systems).
2.Systems
General data about the systems are given as follows:
DThe servo oil system opens the exhaust valves hydraulically. The exhaust valves
are closed pneumatically.
DServo oil pumps in the supply unit, supply bearing oil at the necessary pressure
through two high pressure (HP) oil pipes to the servo oil rail.
DBearing oil cools the pistons.
DThe fuel pumps in the supply unit, supply high pressure fuel through the HP fuel
pipes to the fuel rail. The fuel rail supplies high pressure fuel to all the injection
valves.
DThe servo oil system operates the injection control units.
Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd.
DFresh water cools the cylinder liners and cylinder covers.
DThe central fresh water cooling system (closed circuit), or the conventional
sea-water cooling system (direct) with single-stage coolers are used to cool the
scavenge air.
DThe WECS-9520 controls the engine start sequence. Compressed air flows
through the starting valve into the cylinders to start the engine.
1/ 2
2017−08
Page 36
Short Description of the Engine
DThe exhaust gases flow from the cylinders through the exhaust valves into the
exhaust gas manifold.
DThe turbocharger uses the pressure of the exhaust gas to operate the
compressor.
DThe scavenge air from the turbocharger flows through the air cooler and water
separator into the air receiver. This air then flows through air flaps and scavenge
ports when the pistons are almost at BDC.
DAt low loads, independently operated auxiliary blowers supply air to the scavenge
air space.

1.Piston Movement
1.1First Stroke (Compression)
The sequence of piston movements during the compression stroke is as follows:
DThe piston is at BDC (see Fig. 1).
DThe scavenge ports and exhaust valve are open.
DScavenge air flows into the cylinder and pushes the exhaust gas through the
exhaust valve into the exhaust gas manifold and then to the turbocharger.
DThe piston moves up.
DAt ES, the piston covers the scavenge ports.
DAt AS, The exhaust valve closes and compression starts, which heats the air.
3.2Control System 5.............................................
1.General
There is a specified relation between the propeller speed and the absorbed power in
ships that have fixed pitch propellers. The relation is between the propeller and the
speed at which it turns.
The formula that follows (where P = power and n = speed) gives an approximate
result, which is sufficient for conventional vessels:
P
1
=
P
2
3
n
1
n
2
0070−1/A1
The graph from this formula is known as the propeller characteristic.
If the engine is in good condition, correctly supplied with air (i.e. turbocharger(s) are in
good condition and the resistance of the air and exhaust lines is in the specifications)
and the fuel injection quantity is correctly adjusted (see the shop test protocol), then
the mean effective pressure (mep) developed during service conditions (in
accordance with the specified load indication), is related to the approximate mep for
this position on the test bed.
In the diagram (see paragraph 2), the propeller property line through the CMCR point
(100% power at 100% engine speed) is known as the nominal propeller characteristic.
Engines which are to be used for the propulsion of vessels with fixed propellers have
a load appliedon the test bed in accordance with this propeller characteristic.
However, during sea trial of a new ship with a smooth and clean hull, the power
requirement is lower and the operation point is below the nominal propeller
characteristic.
During service, a higher torque will be necessary for the propeller to keep its speed
than at the time of the sea trial (sea margin) because:
DThere are changes in wake flow conditions because of marine growth on the hull.
DThe cargo load has an effect on the depth of the vessel in the water.
DThe propeller has a rough surface or has mechanical damage.
DThe vessel operates in bad sea and weather conditions.
DThe vessel operates in shallow water. The mep of the engine (and thus the fuel
injection quantity) will increase. In such a condition, the operating point will then
be at the left of the initial propeller curve which was calculated during sea trials.
A hull that was cleaned and painted will help to decrease the resistance as the vessel
moves through the water. It is not possible, to get the hull back to its initial condition.
Because the thermal load of the engine is related to the mep, the position of the
operating point is also important. The air supply to the engine and the operating
conditions will become unsatisfactory if the operation point is far above the propeller
curve.
To get the best conditions, the operation point of the engine for service range must be
on or below the nominal propeller characteristic.

2.Fixed Pitch Propeller (FPP)
2.1Continuous Service Rating (CSR)
Point A (see Fig. 1) shows the power and speed of a ship that operates at contractual
speed in calm seas with a new clean hull and propeller. A power / speed combination
at point D is necessary for the same ship at the same speed during service conditions
with aged hull and average weather. Point D is then the CSR point.
2.2Engine Margin (EM) / Operational Margin (OM)
Most owners specify the contractual loaded service speed of the ship at 85% to 90%
of the contract maximum continuous rating (CMCR). The remaining 10% to 15% of
power can be used to catch up with changes in schedules or for the timing of dry-dock
intervals. This margin is usually subtracted from the CMCR. Thus, to get the 100%
power line, you divide the power at point D by between 0.85 to 0.90.

The Relation between Engine and Propeller
2.3Load Range Limits
When the engine has the best values at CMCR (Rx), the limits that follow give the
load range of the engine:
DLine 1 is a constant mep or torque line through CMCR from 100% speed and
power down to 95% speed and power.
DLine 2 is the overload limit. This is a constant mep line from 100% power and
93.8% speed to 110% power and 103.2% speed. 103.2% speed is the
intersection point between the nominal propeller property and 110% power.
DLine 3 is the 104% speed limit where an engine can operate continuously. For Rx
with decreased speed (N
but, the torsional vibration must not be more than the specified limits.
DLine 4 is the overspeed limit. The overspeed range between 104 (106) and 108%
speed is only permitted during sea trials if necessary. This is to demonstrate the
speed of the ship at CMCR power with a light running propeller in the presence of
authorized representatives of the engine builder. The torsional vibration must not
be more than the specified limits.

DLine 5 is the permitted torque limit from 95% power and speed to 45% power and
70% speed. This shows a curve defined by the equation: P

.
When the engine speed and power is near the data in Line 5 there will be a
decrease in scavenge air, which has an effect on the engine. The area between
Lines 1, 3 and 5 show the range in which the engine must be operated. The area
in the nominal propeller characteristic, 100% power and Line 3 is recommended
for continuous operation. The area between the nominal propeller property and
Line 5 must be reserved for acceleration, shallow water and usual flexibility of
operation.
DLine 6 gives the equation: P

through 100% power and 93.8%
speed and the maximum torque limit in transient conditions. The area above
Line 1 is the overload range. You must only operate the engine in this range for a
maximum of one hour during sea trails in the presence of authorized
representatives of the engine builder. The area between Lines 5 and 6 and the
constant torque line (shown as a dark area) must only be used for transient
conditions, i.e. during fast acceleration. This range is known as the service range
with operational time limit.

position that at 100% speed, the
minimum power at point F is 37%. The
formula shown in paragraph 1 is used for
this calculation.
DAlong Line 8 the power increase from
37% (point F) to 100% power (CMCR) at
100 % speed is the constant speed mode
for shaft generator operation
DLine 5 is the top load limit and relates to
the permitted torque limit.
DThe area between 70% and 100% speed
and between Line 5 and Line 9 shows the
area that an engine with a CPP must be
operated.
Line 7 shows a typical combinator curve for
variable speed mode.
Maneuvering at maximum speed with low or
zero pitch is not permitted. Thus,
installations with main engine-driven
generators must have a frequency
converter when electrical power is to be
supplied (e.g. to thrusters) at constant
frequency during manoeuvring. As an
alternative, power from auxiliary engines
can be used for this purpose.

Operation
Safety Precautions and Warnings (General Information)
13.Turning Gear
The lubricating oil pump must operate if possible, but the oil pressure cannot fully
increase when the exhaust valves are open.
Injury Hazard: After an air run the crankshaft can turn suddenly
when the pressurized air in the cylinder releases. There is a risk
of death, serious injury or damage to components. Make sure that
there is no pressurized air in the cylinder and starting air pipes
before you do maintenance on the engine or engage the turning
gear. Make sure that the relief valves on all cylinder covers are
open to release the pressure.
Injury Hazard: Make sure that no personnel and components are
in the danger areas (crankcase, piston underside, propeller shaft,
etc). The propeller coupling also turns.

WARNING
WARNING
Note: If the engine is stopped for overhaul, you must engage the turning gear to
prevent engine movement.
If the engine is ready for maneuvering, the turning gear must not be engaged.
Before the you start the engine, make sure that the turning gear is disengaged and
the lever is locked. It is possible that the 3/2-way valve (35-31HA) can prevent engine
start (see 4003−2 Control Diagram).
14.Instruments
Calibrate instruments (and gages) at regular intervals before you use them.
15.Frost Hazard
If the temperature decreases below 0°C and the engine is not in operation, it is
possible that water in the engine, pumps, coolers and piping system will freeze. To
prevent this, drain the systems or increase the temperature in the engine room.

Operation during Usual Conditions
Slow Turning
1.General
To make sure that the running gear turns freely, it is recommended (as long as the
classification society did not make more primary specifications) to turn the crankshaft
a minimum of one full turn before start-up.
Note: This does not apply if the engine was stopped during a maneuvering
period.
2.Turning Gear
The turning gear is used to turn the crankshaft (approximately one turn in
10 minutes). An arrow next to the flywheel shows the direction and distance that the
crankshaft has turned.
3.Slow Turning with Starting Air
A controlled quantity of starting air is released to turn the running gear at
approximately 5 rpm to 10 rpm.
The WECS−9520 has the command SLOW TURNING for this operation.
The active control stand is used to start the SLOW TURNING operation:
DFrom the remote control
DAt the ECR manual control panel in the control room
DAt the local control panel (see 4618−1 WECS−9520 manual control panel).

Operation
Usual Operation
1.General
To get the best performance, operate the engine at constant power. You must only
change the engine load and / or speed slowly, unless there are unusual conditions.
2.Checks and Precautions
During usual operation, you must do regular checks and use precautions. This lets
you operate the engine without problems. The most important of these regular checks
and precautions are given below:
DYou must do regular checks of pressures and temperatures. You must obey the
limits (see 0250−1 Operating Data Sheet).
DYou must compare the values of the instruments with those given in the
acceptance records and include the engine speed and power values. This gives
a good indication of engine performance. If there are differences in the values,
these must be identified.
0240−1/A1
DIf there is no risk to the engine, replace instruments that are possibly defective.
Feel the pipes to compare temperatures.
1)Do a check of the values that follow:
DFuel injection quantity
DFuel rail pressure
DServo oil rail pressure
DEngine speed
DTurbocharger speed
DScavenge air pressure
DExhaust gas temperature upstream of the turbine.
Other important data are the values of the fuel that is used each day and the lower
calorific value.
2)Do a check to make sure that all shut-off valves in the cooling and lubricating
system are in the correct position.
3)Make sure that the shut-off valves for the cooling inlets and outlets on the engine
are always fully open during operation. These shut-off valves are used only to
isolate cylinders from the cooling water system during overhauls.
If there are unusually high or low temperatures at a water outlet, the temperature
must must be gradually adjusted to the usual value. Sudden temperature changes
can cause damage (see also 2124−1 Cylinder Liner and 8017−1 Cooling Water
System).
Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd.
The maximum permitted exhaust temperature at the turbine inlet must not be more
than the limit given in 0250−1 Operating Data Sheet.
4)Compare the exhaust gas temperature indications at the cylinder outlet with the
related values in the acceptance records. If larger differences between the
cylinders are shown, you must find the cause.
5)Look at the colors of the exhaust gases from the funnel. No dark smoke must
come out.

Usual Operation
Operation0240−1/A1
6)Keep the correct scavenge air temperature downstream of the air cooler with the
usual water flow (see 0250−1 Operating Data Sheet). A higher scavenge air
temperature will give an unsatisfactory quantity of scavenge air in the cylinder.
This will cause more fuel to be used and higher exhaust gas temperatures.
7)Do a check of the scavenge air pressure decrease through the air cooler. Too
much resistance will cause a decrease of air to the engine.
Note: The fuel must be carefully cleaned before use. See the recommendations
in 0720−1 Fuel Treatment, Fuel System and the documentation of the
separator manufacturer.
8)Open the drain valves of all fuel tanks and and fuel filters regularly for short
periods to drain possible sludge or water.
9)Keep the fuel pressure correct downstream of the low pressure feed pump and
the inlet of the mixing unit (see the 0250−1 Operating Data Sheet and 0720−1,
paragraph 4, Configuration of the Fuel System).
10) Use the pressure retaining valve in the fuel return pipe to adjust the pressure at
the fuel pump inlet. The fuel will flow in the low pressure circuit of the engine at
the usual supply capacity of the booster pump.
The heavy fuel oil (HFO) must be sufficiently heated to make sure that its viscosity
upstream of the inlet to the fuel pumps is in the limits given in 0710−1, Viscosity
paragraph 3.1).
11) Do regular checks of the cylinder lubricating oil quantity that is used. Continuous
service will give the best cylinder lubricating oil quantity. Do not lubricate the
cylinders too much. For the usual quantity used, and how to calculate it, see
7218−2 Instructions about Measurement of the Cylinder Lubricating Oil
Consumption.
The cooling water pumps must operate at their usual flow capacity i.e. the supply
head is related to the given system configuration. The result of the flow rate and
temperature difference between the inlet and outlet will approximately relate to the
values given in 0250−1 Operating Data Sheet . If the temperature difference is too
much, repair or replace the related pump as soon as possible.
To adjust the correct supply head of the cylinder cooling water pump, the supply rate
must be controlled in the engine outlet manifold. There must always be positive
pressure at the suction side of the pump to prevent air flow through the stuffing box.
12) Make sure that the vents at the top of the cooling water spaces are kept
constantly open to release the air.
13) Do a check of the level in all water and oil tanks, and all the drainage tanks of the
leakage pipes. Look for unusual changes.
14) Look at the cooling water. If there is contamination or oil in the cooling water, the
cause must be found and the defect repaired.
2014
15) Regularly examine the sight glasses of the condensate collectors to do a check
of the water flow (see 8345−1 Drainage System and Wash-water Piping System
Fig. 1, item 12). Clean the condensate collector and the orifices if necessary (see
Maintenance Manual 0380−1 and 6708−1).
16) If there is a pressure decrease, do a check of the oil filters. Clean the oil filters if
necessary.
17) You must monitor for a period, bearings that are replaced or bearings that are
installed after an overhaul. You must obey the precautions to prevent crankcase
explosions (see 0460−1).
18) Make sure that the covers of the rail unit are kept closed when the engine
operates.

Usual Operation
Operation
When you listen to the engine, unusual noises will show that there is a possible
defect.
Hand-drawn diagrams give data about the combustion process and pressures in the
cylinder (see 0420−1 Indicator Diagrams).
When the quality of the fuel used changes (diesel oil, HFO from different bunkerings),
the maximum pressure in the cylinder at service power must be found as soon as
possible. You must compare this pressure to the pressure measured during the
related shop trial (speed, power).
If there are large differences in the firing pressures (i.e. too high or too low), adjust the
fuel quality setting (FQS) to change the firing pressures (see 4002−3 User
Parameters).
19) Put the lubricating oil through a centrifuge. Get samples at regular intervals and
compare these samples with the values given in 0750−1 Lubricating Oils.
20) Do a check of the dirty oil drain pipes from the piston underside to make sure that
there are no blockages. Use your hand to touch each drain pipe to feel for a
temperature difference. A pipe is blocked when there is a temperature difference
along its length. You must clear all blockages as soon as possible.
0240−1/A1
21) Examine regularly the lubricating and fuel oil systems for leaks (see 8016−1,
paragraph 5 Servo oil leakage system and 8019−1, paragraph 4 Fuel leakage
system). To find leakages in the rail unit, open the related hinged covers and
casings. You must repair leaks as soon as possible.

Operation
Manoeuvring
1.General
Correct maneuvering, with a subsequent increase in engine load up to service power
and a decrease in load from service power, is very important.
Engine loads in the higher power ranges that are changed too quickly can cause
increased wear and contamination, specially on piston rings and cylinder liners.
Slow load changes let the piston rings adapt to the new conditions and therefore
make sure of the best sealing.
There must always be sufficient power available in a short time for safe manoeuvring
in ports and waterways.
2.Maneuvering
Maneuvering is the operation between leaving port and release to sea speed and
from the approach to port until finished with engine. This also includes all changes
during usual service e.g. changes of direction.
Operation
0260−1/A1
The manoeuvring range is the speed range between FULL AHEAD and FULL
ASTERN. This range is usually divided into four manoeuvring steps with related given
speeds in each direction.
Note: Because of torsional vibration, it is possible that the engine has more
than one barred speed range. Also, it is possible that the engine has a
barred speed range if the axial damper becomes defective. Data about the
barred speed range can be found near the telegraph on the bridge, and/or
near the local control panel.
Usually, the full maneuvering speed, for engines that have fixed pitch propellers, is
related to approximately 70% of the maximum rated engine speed. This is
approximately 35% of the maximum power. This means that when sailing straight
ahead, the ship will be at approximately 66% of its maximum speed.
A fully serviceable engine can be manoeuvred in the range given above with no time
or performance limits. Fuel and scavenge air necessary for engine operation are
controlled electronically.
With controllable pitch propellers the speed and torque can be freely selected. During
maneuvering, the limits are the same as for fixed pitch propellers. The time period to
change the propeller pitch position from zero pitch to full, must be a minimum of 20
seconds.
If the engine is increased quickly to full maneuvering speed (or the propeller blades
move to full pitch), the engine load is momentarily higher when the vessel has no
movement. When the vessel is at sea speed, the engine load is decreased.
Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd.
You can do maneuvering operations from the bridge (if the remote control is installed),
from the engine control room or at the local control panel on the engine.
Make sure that you know the special precautions for maneuvering operations from
the local control panel.
Heavy fuel oil or diesel oil can be used during maneuvering, but heavy fuel oil is
recommended (see 0270−1, paragraph 1).
The fuel used must have sufficient treatment (see 0720−1 Fuel Treatment, Fuel Oil
System).
The data given in 0250−1, Operating Data Sheet is also applicable during
manoeuvring.
1/ 3

Page 84
Manoeuvring
Operation0260−1/A1
When HFO is used for maneuvering, the fuel must be heated sufficiently. This keeps
the viscosity at the fuel pump inlets in the range given in 0710−1, Fig. 1
Viscosity-Temperature Diagram.
The heating of the fuel oil system must stay set to on. Keep the temperature of the
cooling media as close as possible to the higher limits given for usual service (see
0250−1 Operating Data Sheet).
Because different remote controls can be connected to the engine controls, data
about the operation from the manoeuvring stand in the control room is not given here.
For this operation, see the documentation of the remote control manufacturers.

speed control system, or other defects in the remote control can be repaired.
In installations with controllable pitch propellers or clutch couplings, more precautions
are necessary. There must be good communication between the bridge and the local
manoeuvring stand.
Note: An engineer must stay at the local manoeuvring stand. The engineer can
then make changes immediately if necessary.

3.5Installations with Clutch Couplings
You must not disengage clutch couplings while the engine operates.
You must make sure that the couplings are engaged before you start the engine.
4.Increase Power after Release to Sea Speed and
Decrease
You must only increase and decrease the engine load during a given time period. This
time period is usually between 40 minutes to 45 minutes between full maneuvering
and service power. The time period must not be less than that given as follows:
DFor an increase in engine load, not less than 30 minutes
DFor a decrease in engine load, not less than 15 minutes.
You use the related devices in the engine room to manually increase and decrease
the engine load as follows:
For fixed pitch propeller installations:

0270−1/A1
Change-over from Heavy Fuel Oil to Marine Diesel Oil and
Back
1.General
When you change from heavy fuel oil (HFO) to marine diesel oil (MDO) or back, you
must keep the thermal stresses of the related fuel components as low as possible.
Thermal stress occurs because of the large temperature changes. Too fast change of
the temperature can cause damage to the fuel pump plungers and can cause
leakages in the fuel pipes.
During the change−over procedure the temperature of the fuel must not change more
than 2_C each minute. This prevents damage to the system, specially when you do
the procedure frequently. The small change rate is also because of the large
difference of viscosity between HFO and MDO/MGO.
You can do a change−over of the fuel only when the engine is running. While the
engine has stopped, there is no fuel flow through the fuel rail. Change-over is thus not
possible.
2.Automatic Fuel Change−over
WinGD recommends the installation and use of an automatic fuel change−over
system to prevent problems during the change−over procedure.
If an automatic change−over system is installed, follow the instructions in the
documentation of the manufacturer and the instructions for cylinder lubricating oil in
paragraph 5.
3.Manual Fuel Change−over
When you do a manual change−over of the fuel, you must make sure that the
change-over is safe, see the paragraphs that follow.
Specially make sure that during the procedures HFO never can flow into the MDO
tank and pipe system.
Note: WinGD recommends to do a manual change−over only, if an automatic
change−over system is not installed or if the automatic change−over
system is unserviceable.
4.Recommended Viscosity at Inlet to Fuel Pumps
For the temperature necessary to make sure that the fuel upstream of the inlet to the
fuel pumps is at the correct viscosity, see Fig. 1 Viscosity / Temperature Diagram in
0710−1. The viscosity for MDO must not be less than 2 cSt.
Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd.
A viscosimeter measures the viscosity and thus controls the temperature of the fuel.
Make sure that you monitor the viscosity and the temperature of the fuel.

Change-over from Heavy Fuel Oil to Marine Diesel Oil and Back
5.Cylinder Lubricating Oil
When you do a manual or automatic change−over of the fuel, you must make sure
that you change to the correct cylinder lubricating oil at the same time. This prevents
damage of the piston running system because of an incorrect BN. For more data refer
to 0750−1, Lubricating oils.
WinGD recommends to monitor the change−over of the cylinder lubricating oil. Do a
calculation of the cylinder lubricant quantity and make sure that you know cylinder
lubricating feed rate.
1)Make sure that you know the cylinder lubricant quantity that is between the
change−over valve and the lubricating quills including the measurement tube.
2)Calculate the related lead time that the cylinder lubricating oil has to get to the
lubricating quills.
2017−08
3)Use this lead time to have the correct timing for the change−over of the cylinder
lubricating oil.
Note: When you change from MDO to HFO, WinGD recommends to start the
change−over of the cylinder lubricating oil from low BN to high BN
already inside the ECA zone. This prevents operation with high sulphur
fuel and low BN cylinder lubricating oil.

6.Change-over from HFO to MDO
See 0720−1 Fuel Treatment and Fuel System, Fig. 1.
To change−over from HFO to MDO, do as follows:
1)Make a full time schedule for the change−over to obey the ECA rules.
2)If you operate the engine with MDO for a long period, you must change the
cylinder lubricating oil to the applicable BN at the related time, refer to paragraph
5.
3)Set to OFF the trace heating of the fuel pipes and fuel rail approximately one
hour before the change−over. The correct time is related to the pipe diameter and
the waste heat in the system.
4)Set the viscosimeter to 17 cSt to decrease the temperature of the fuel.
5)Set to OFF all heating sources in the system (e.g. fuel heaters) some minutes
before the change−over.
6)Decrease the load of the engine to max. 50% CMCR. The decrease of the engine
power is related to the total quantity of fuel that flows in the system, e.g. the
larger the mixing tank, the less decrease in load is necessary.
0270−1/A1
7)Follow the instructions of the plant to slowly change−over the fuel supply from
HFO to MDO. Make sure that you decrease the fuel temperature a maximum of
2_C each minute.
8)If the temperature changes too much, wait until the fuel temperature is stable.
Then you can continue the procedure. Try to decrease the temperature as
linearly as possible.
9)When the temperature of the fuel is near the applicable value, you can start the
cooler slowly to give a linear and smooth temperature change at minimum
viscosity.
10) Do a check of the temperature, viscosity and pressure of the supplied fuel.
11) If the temperature, viscosity, or pressure is not correct, find the cause and repair
the fault.
12) If you have to collect the MDO from the leakage and return pipes, do as follows:
a)Wait until the system is completely flushed with MDO.
Note: This prevents contamination of the MDO with HFO.
b)If also a MDO leakage tank is installed, move the 3−way valve in the pipe from
the outlet of the fuel leakage fuel pump and injection control to the MDO leakage
tank.
c)If the fuel return of the pressure control valve goes into the HFO service tank, set
the valve positions to have the fuel return go into the MDO service tank.
Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd.
13) If you have to stop the engine, wait until the change−over procedure is fully
completed.
Note: This prevents problems during the subsequent engine start because of a
mixture of HFO and MDO in the system.

See 0720−1 Fuel Treatment and Fuel System, Fig. 1.
To change−over from MDO to HFO, do as follows:
1)Make a full time schedule for the change−over to obey the ECA rules.
2)Make sure that you have changed the cylinder lubricating oil to the applicable
BN, refer to paragraph 5.
3)Set to ON the trace heating of the fuel pipes and fuel rail.
4)If the engine room is cold, after a minimum of one hour make sure to get correct
heating.
5)Make sure that HFO cannot flow into the MDO system.
a)If also a MDO leakage tank is installed, move the 3−way valve in the pipe from
the outlet of the fuel leakage fuel pump and injection control to the HFO leakage
tank.
b)If the fuel return of the pressure control valve goes into the MDO service tank,
set the valve positions to have the fuel return go into the HFO service tank.
6)Close all covers on the rail unit.
7)Decrease the load of the engine to max. 75% CMCR. The decrease of the engine
power is related to the total quantity of fuel that flows in the system, e.g. the
larger the mixing tank, the less decrease in load is necessary.
8)Set the viscosimeter to 13 cSt to increase the temperature of the fuel.
The viscosimeter controls the end-heater, which keeps the fuel temperature at the
necessary viscosity.
9)Follow the instructions of the plant to slowly change−over the fuel supply from
MDO to HFO. Make sure that you increase the fuel temperature a maximum of
2_C each minute.
Note: Sudden temperature changes can stop the movement of the fuel pump
plungers.
10) If the temperature changes too much, wait until the fuel temperature is stable.
Then you can continue the procedure.
11) Do a check of the temperature, viscosity and pressure of the supplied fuel.
12) If the temperature, viscosity, or pressure is not correct, find the cause and repair
the fault.
13) Keep the engine in operation until the change−over procedure is fully completed.
Note: This prevents problems during the subsequent engine start because of a
mixture of HFO and MDO in the system.

Operation at Low Load
1.General
See the data that follow:
D0240−1 Usual Operation, paragraph 2 Checks and Precautions
DTrace heating of the fuel system during operation
DTemperature of the cooling medium in the usual range (see 0250−1 Operating
Data Sheet)
DCareful treatment of the fuel (see 0720−1, Fuel Treatment and Fuel System)
The cylinder lubricating oil quantity automatically adapts to the lower engine load. The
WECS−9520 controls the lubricating oil quantities related to the engine load.
2.WECS−9520 Injection Control
0280−1/A1
At low load the WECS−9520 automatically cuts out one of the three injection valves in
each cylinder. At very low load, two of the three injection valves are cut out.
This makes sure that the engine has the best fuel mist and combustion properties,
which decreases smoke from the funnel and fuel consumption.
The WECS−9520 changes the cutting out of the three injection valves at regular
intervals to get an equal thermal load in the combustion chamber.
There is no time limit to operate the engine at low load.

Operation at Overload
1.General
Usually, the engine is only operated at overload (110% of CMCR power) during sea
trials when there is an authorized representative of the engine builder on board the
ship.
The limit for operation of the engine at overload is a maximum of one hour each day
(see also 0070−1 The Relation between Engine and Propeller).
During operation at overload, you must carefully monitor the engine. If there are
unusual indications, you must decrease the load (power).
The load indication (fuel injection quantity) and the exhaust gas temperature
upstream of the turbine show the engine load (see 0250−1 Operating Data Sheet,
and the Acceptance Records).
The coolant temperatures must stay in their usual ranges.
In usual service, the full load position of the load indication (fuel injection quantity)
must stay in the limits given (see the Acceptance Records).
0290−1/A1
The maximum permitted position of the load indication (fuel injection quantity) is given
in the Acceptance Records. The adjustments are only permitted to show the CMCR
power during sea trials with an overspeed of 104% to 108% of CMCR power.
The conditions given below affect the speed of the ship:
DSailing into strong head winds
DSailing in heavy seas
DSailing in shallow water
DWhen there is unwanted heavy growth on the hull.
The governor increases the fuel quantity to keep the speed of the ship constant. The
position shown on the load indication (fuel injection quantity) will increase.

Engine Shutdown
General
1.Engine Load Decrease
2.Engine Stop
2.1Usual Procedures
2.1.1Engine Stop from the Control Room − Remote Control
Operation
When possible, it is recommended that the engine load is decreased slowly, see
0260−1 Maneuvering.
Because different types of remote control can be connected to the engine controls,
the operation procedure from the manoeuvring stand in the control room is not given.
For this procedure, see the applicable documentation of the remote control
manufacturer.
Usually it is sufficient to move the telegraph to the position STOP.
0310−1/A1
2.1.2Engine Stop from the Control Room − ECR Manual Control Panel
When you push the STOP button on the WECS−9520 manual control panel in the
ECR, the WECS−9520 decreases the engine speed/power, then shuts down the
engine.
2.1.3Engine Stop from the Local Control Panel
See the Control Diagram 4003−2 and Local Control Panel 4618−1.
When you push the STOP button on the WECS−9520 manual control panel the
WECS−9520 decreases the engine speed/power, then shuts down the engine.
Note: You can use the buttons and rotary button only at the related active
control stand.
2.2Emergency Stop
To stop the engine immediately, push the EMERGENCY STOP button in the control
room, or on the local control panel. The fuel pressure control valve 3.06 releases the
pressure in the fuel rail. At the same time, the fuel pump actuators move the
regulating linkages to the zero position.
2.3Last Option
CAUTION
Damage Hazard. Do this emergency procedure only as a last
option. Damage to the engine can occur.

some weeks)
If the engine must still be maneuvered after it has stopped, see the conditions that
follow:
DThe WECS−9520 must stay set to on.
DAll the pumps for coolant water, lubricating oil and fuel must operate.
DControl air must be available and the starting air bottles must be full.
DThe cylinder cooling water must be kept at the correct temperature.
DDo not cool the lubricating oil.
DThe fuel must be kept at the applicable temperature in accordance with the
0710−1 Viscosity-Temperature Diagram.
Note: Post-lubrication of the cylinders starts automatically during the decrease
of engine speed (below 8%).
1.2Engine is Not Maneuverable
If the engine is not maneuverable, see the conditions that follow:
DAfter the engine has stopped, the coolant water and lubricating oil pumps must
operate for a minimum of 20 minutes to let the temperatures become stable. Do
not let these media cool below their usual inlet temperatures. The sea-water
pump can, thus, usually be stopped immediately.
DIf the engine was shut down during operation with HFO, then the supply must
flow through the fuel pumps and the fuel rail. The fuel system must continue to
operate.
DThe fuel pipe heating system of the engine must be set to on. If this is not
necessary, change the engine operation to diesel oil before shut-down (see
0270−1 Change-over from heavy fuel oil to diesel oil and 0620−1 Procedures
before Putting Out of Service for a Long Period).
DThe low pressure feed pump and booster pump can be stopped, if the engine
was shut down during operation with diesel oil (see 0720−1 Fuel Treatment and
Fuel Oil System).
DWhere possible, keep the cooling water warm to prevent the engine from cooling
down too much. The cooling water pump thus, continues to operate unless it is
necessary to stop the pump for maintenance.

Procedures after Engine Stop
Do the steps that follow:
1)Open the indicator valves in the cylinder covers.
2)Engage the turning gear.
3)Set the WECS−9520 to on.
4)At frequent intervals and with the indicator valves open, use the turning gear to
turn the engine as necessary (possibly done daily in damp climates). Do this
procedure while the lubricating oil pump and servo oil service pump operate and
set to on the cylinder lubrication at the same time. After this procedure is
completed, make sure that the piston stops in a different position each time.
5)Close the shut-off valve on the control air supply (supply of air from the board
system).

work or overhauls (see the Maintenance Manual 0011−1 and 0012−1). If
necessary, release the pressure from the fuel oil system.
6)Repair all the defects found in service (leaks, etc).
1.2.1Starting Air Manifold Venting / Stop the Starting Air System
Because of low air pressure after engine stop, the venting of the starting air
manifold (6, Fig. 1) cannot be done correctly. Thus, dirt and grease stay in the starting
air manifold and can cause the piston rings of the starting air valve (7) to stick.
Use high-pressure air at regular periods, to make sure that all dirt and grease is
removed from the starting air manifold.
Do the steps that follow:
1)Engage the turning gear.
2)Open the drain and test valve (3) momentarily. If you can hear the starting air
flow into the shut-off valve (1), close the drain and test valve (3). The starting air
manifold (6) is pressurized with high-pressure starting air.
3)Close the shut-off valves of the starting air bottles.
Note: You can usually find the venting valve (5) installed at the free end of the
starting air manifold. But on some engines the venting valve is installed
at the driving end. It is possible that two venting valves are installed on
different engine types.
4)Open the venting valve (5). The high-pressure air is released. Dirt and grease in
the starting air manifold are removed.

5)Lift the lever then turn the handwheel (2) to position CLOSED.
6)Open the venting valve (4) to drain the shut-off valve (1).
