2-stroke engines

The current low-speed engine portfolio comprises the

Wrtsil RTA and RT-flex engine types which cover a
power range from 5100 kW to 80,080 kW.

Wrtsil RTA-series engines:

Traditional camshaft-controlled low-speed diesel
engine
Wrtsil RT-flex engines:
Based on the RTA-series but have electronically-
controlled common-rail systems for fuel injection and
valve actuation.

These engines are marketed world-wide for application

in the propulsion of all types of deep-sea ships.

Low-speed engines are developed, designed, marketed

and serviced by Wrtsil.

The engines are manufactured by specialised engine

manufacturing companies under licence from Wrtsil
Switzerland.

Pilot diesel injection
Intake of Compression of Ignition by
air and gas air and gas pilot diesel fuel

The gas is mixed with air before the intake valves.

After the compression phase, the gas-air mixture is ignited by a small
amount of liquid pilot fuel.

This is a normal diesel process with camshaft-operated liquid fuel pumps

running in parallel with the process and working as a stand-by.
The engine can be switched automatically from fuel oil to gas operation at loads
below 80 % of the full load.

Gas-diesel engines operating principle

Gas mode:
The gas is injected at high pressure after the pilot
fuel and is ignited by the flame from the pilot fuel
injection.

Liquid Fuel mode:

The gas-diesel engine can be switched over
instantly to operation.
The liquid fuel can be light fuel oil, heavy fuel oil
or crude oil.
The process is the same as the conventional
diesel process.

Fuel Sharing mode:

The ratio between liquid and gas fuel amounts
can be controlled and varied during operation.
The operating window is 35 to 90% load and the
gas/liquid fuel ratio can vary from 80/20 to 15/85.

The gas-diesel process can tolerate big variations

in the gas quality and is especially suitable for
non-pipeline quality gas, such as associated gas
in oil fields.

 SG engines operating principle

The SG engines are spark-ignited lean-

burn engines.
The gas is mixed with air before the inlet
valves.
The gas is also fed into a small
prechamber, where the gas mixture is rich
compared to the gas in the cylinder.
The gas-air mixture in the prechamber is
ignited by a spark plug.
The flames from the nozzle of the
prechamber ignite the gas-air mixture in
the whole cylinder.

25 Wrtsil 17 March 2010 Engine products / WLSA

The lean-burn concept

In a lean-burn gas engine, the

mixture of air and gas in the cylinder
is lean, i.e. more air is present in the
cylinder than is needed for complete
combustion.
With leaner combustion, the peak
temperature is reduced and less
NOX is produced.
Higher output can be reached while
avoiding knocking and the efficiency
is increased as well, although a too
lean mixture will cause misfiring
