Top dead centre (TDC)


The top turning point of the piston in the cylinder. TDC for every
cylinder is marked on the gradation of the flywheel.
In a complete diesel process on a four cycle engine the piston reaches
TDC twice:

TDC at scavenging
The first time when the exhaust stroke of the previous working cycle
ends and the suction stroke of the following one begins. Exhaust valves
as well as inlet valves are then partly open and scavenging takes place.
If the crankshaft is turned back and forth in this TDC area, both
exhaust and inlet valves tend to open, a fact that indicates the piston is

ly
near top position which is called TDC at scavenging.

TDC at firing
on
The second time is at the end of the compression stroke and before the
e
working stroke starts. Slightly before this TDC the fuel injection takes
place and this TDC can therefore be defined as TDC at firing. In this
us

case, all valves are closed and do not move if the crankshaft is turned.
The roller of the fuel pump tappet is on the lifting side of the fuel cam.
al

Bottom dead centre (BDC)


rn

The bottom turning point of the piston in the cylinder.

Marks on the flywheel


The circumference of the flywheel is divided into sections of 5°, starting
at TDC of cylinder 1. TDC for every following cylinder is individually
indicated. Where two TDC’s are indicated at the same mark, one
cylinder is in TDC at firing and the other in TDC at scavenging. See also
the firing order in chapter 1.0.
The indicator (1) is provided with a scale per degree, starting at 5°
before TDC till 5° after TDC.

0.1.3. Electro Static Discharge (ESD)


Note! ESD, the invisible threat!
The components of modern printed circuit boards are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Damages due to electrostatic discharge
can cause immediate failures of a printed circuit board, or can cause a
problem since the components start deteriorating. Pay always attention
to ESD protection, just because the ESD damage is usually invisible.
Handle printed circuit boards, EPROMs and SRAM always carefully.
The static electricity is generally created when two materials are rubbed
against each other. This causes unbalanced electricity in the objects (or

ly
persons) and they become charged with a static electricity. On the other
hand, conducting materials in the environment usually have a balanced

on
electrical situation. A discharge current is created when a charged
person touches a conducting object. Even when you move around you
are continuously charged and discharged, but normally that causes no
damage. Those discharge currents, however, easily damage the thin
e
layers in integrated circuits.
us

The following precautions can widely reduce the risk of failures and
malfunctions due to ESD:
al

Always keep the board in its protection bag/box during


transportation and storage. Remove it from the bag just shortly
rn

before the installation.


Make sure your body always has the same potential as the table
frame, the board, the rail, or the junction box where you are going
te

to install the printed circuit board. This can be done with the help
of a special ground−terminal with wristband, but also by simply
In

touching the object with one hand and inserting the printed circuit
board with the other hand.
Avoid touching the connector pins!
Use the protective bag under and between the boards while placing
them on a table.
Do not pass the board straight into the hands of another person
except if is in a protective bag. It is also possible to place the board
on a non−conducting table and let the other person pick it up from
there.
Clear the installation site from all the construction or the package
material before the installation. Keep the environment tidy.
Before inserting the board into its frame or enclosure, check the
frame or the enclosure is clean. Check the connector pins are clean
and straight so that the board can be easily inserted into its frame.
Do not place the board on a conducting surface such as a metallic
table. If the board has been placed on a conducting table, place one
hand on the table and lift the board with the other one.
Handle damaged boards as functional ones, because the damage
grade is usually unknown.

0.1.4. Welding precautions

Introduction
This is an instruction concerning the treatment and the protection of
the engine mounted electrical equipment when an arc welding is
performed in the vicinity. Before start welding, it is important to read
welding safety instructions and that the welder is instructed on its safe
use by a qualified teacher or welder.

ly
Hazards and precautions:

on
Electrical shock can kill
− Insulate welder from workpiece and ground using dry insulation:
rubber mat or dry wood.
− Wear dry, hole−free gloves. (Change as necessary to keep dry.)
e
− Do not touch electrically ˆhot˜ parts or electrode with bare skin
us

or wet clothing.
− If wet area and welder cannot be insulated from workpiece with
dry insulation, use a semiautomatic, constant−voltage welder or
al

stick welder with voltage reducing device.


−Keep electrode holder and cable insulation in good condition. Do
rn

not use if insulation is damaged or missing.


te

Fumes and gases can be dangerous


− Use ventilation or exhaust to keep air breathing zone clear,
In

comfortable.
− Use helmet and positioning of head to minimize fume in breathing
zone.
− Read warnings on electrode container and material safety data
sheet (MSDS) for electrode.
− Provide additional ventilation/exhaust where special ventilation
requirements exist.
− Use special care when welding in a confined area.
− Do not weld unless ventilation is adequate.

Welding sparks can cause fire or explosion


− Do not weld on containers which have held combustible materials.
Check before welding.
− Remove flammable materials from welding area or shield from
sparks, heat.
− Keep a fire watch in area during and after welding.
− Keep a fire extinguisher in the welding area.
− Wear fire retardant clothing and hat. Use earplugs when welding
overhead.

0.1 – 8
Manual
General Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

Arc rays can burn eyes and skin


− Select a filter lens which is comfortable for you while welding.
− Always use helmet when welding.
− Provide non−flammable shielding to protect others.
− Wear clothing which protects skin while welding

Confined space
− Carefully evaluate adequacy of ventilation especially where
electrode requires special ventilation or where gas may displace
breathing air.
− If basic electric shock precautions cannot be followed to insulate
welder from work and electrode, use semiautomatic, constant

ly
voltage equipment with cold electrode or stick welder with voltage

on
reducing device.
− Provide welder helper and method of welder retrieval from
outside enclosure.
e
General work area hazards
us

− Keep cables, materials, tools neatly organized.


− Connect work cable as close as possible to area where welding is
being performed. Do not allow alternate circuits through scaffold
al

cables, hoist chains, or ground leads.


− Use only double insulated or properly grounded equipment.
rn

− Always disconnect power to equipment before servicing.


te

Gas cylinders
− Never touch cylinder with the electrode.
In

− Keep cylinder upright and chained to support.

Main principles
Prevent uncontrolled current loops while welding
The welding current path must always be checked, there should be
a straight route from the welding point back to the return connection
of the welding apparatus. The highest current is always going where
it meets the lowest resistance, in certain cases the return current can
therefore go via grounding wires and electronics in the control
system. To avoid this, the distance between the welding point and
the return connection clamp of the welding apparatus must always
be as short as possible and without any electronic component in the
return loop path. Pay attention to the connectivity of the return
connection clamp, a bad contact might also cause sparkles and
radiations.

Radiations prevention
The welding current and the arc are emitting a wide spectrum of

0.1 – 9
Manual
Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac
General

electromagnetic radiations. Those might cause damages on sensitive


electronic equipment; in order to avoid those damages all cabinets
and terminal boxes must be kept closed while welding. Sensitive
equipment can also be protected by means of shieldings with
conductive metal plates, avoid also the welding apparatus cables go
in parallel with wires and cables of the control system since the high
welding currents are going to easily induce secondary currents in
conductive materials.

Damages prevention due to sparkles


Sparkles are commonly flying around from the welding arc. Few
materials withstand the heat from these sparkles, therefore all
cabinets and terminal boxes should be kept closed during the

ly
welding. Sensors, actuators, cables and additional equipments on
the engine must be properly protected. Sparkles can also be a

on
problem after they have cooled down, i.e. while causing short
circuits, sealing problems etc.
e
If it is convenient, disconnect all global signals like power supply,
us

data communication etc.

Handling instructions − normal sealing applications


In normal sealing applications the use of fluoride rubber products does
not cause any health hazards. The handling of products, e.g. installation

and service, can be made without any risk provided that normal
industrial hygiene is applied.
rn

Handling instructions in case of overheated seats and valve


te

blow−by
In

When changing O−rings, for instance after a valve blow−by, operators


handling the remains of burnt fluoride rubber must wear impenetrable
acidproof gloves to protect the skin from the high corrosive remains.
Appropriate glove materials are neoprene or PVC. All liquid state
remains must be considered to be extremely corrosive. Neutralisation
of the remains can be done by using large amounts of calcium hydroxide
solution (lime water). Used gloves must be disposed off.

Use of fluoride rubber products at temperature above 275


°C (527 °F)
Fluoride rubber can be used in most applications (up to 275 °C) without
any substantial degradation or health hazard. Use of or test of fluoride
rubber at temperatures above 275 °C must be avoided. If the material,
in spite of above recommendations, is exposed to higher temperatures,
or in case of an accident, there is a risk that the temperature will rise
out of control.

Special conditions
Grinding dust: Dust and particles which originates from grinding
or abrasion (wear) of fluoride rubber can cause the formation of toxic
degradation products when burned (incinerated). Smoking must
therefore be prohibited in areas where there is fluoride rubber dust
and particles present.
Fire: In case of a fire, burning fluoride rubber can cause the
formation of toxic and corrosive degradation products (e.g.
hydrofluoric acid, carbonyl fluoride, carbon monoxide and carbon
fluoride fragments of low molecular weight). Burning (incineration)
of fluoride rubber is allowed only when using approved incinerators
equipped with gas emission reduction systems.
Decontamination: Operators handling the remains of burnt

0.2.1. General

Selection of the most economical fuel for diesel engines depends on


several variables such as engine requirements, operating conditions,
fuel quality, availability, and costs. Engines vary widely in the grade of
fuel required for satisfactory operations. In general high speed engines
require a more refined fuel than low speed types.
High cetane number light distillate fuels are more expensive than low
cetane heavier−type fuels. For any class of fuel, careful control of
uniformity generally carries a price premium because of the operating
limitations imposed on the refiner.

ly
Engine operation under some fuels, resulting in excessive maintenance,
is obviously uneconomical regardless of fuel cost. The engine

on
manufacturer’s recommendation is the logical starting point for
selecting the fuel of an engine. These recommendations may
subsequently be tempered to obtain additional economies in view of
e
experience and the local fuel situation. Such steps, however, should be
us

taken carefully.

also section 0.2.2.3.

Engines can be started and stopped on heavy fuel oil by providing the engine
and the fuel system are preheated to operating temperature.
It is only recommended to change over from HFO to distillate fuel
operation when it is necessary to fill or flush the fuel oil system.

Distillate fuels
The fuel specification is based on the ISO 8217:1996 (E) standard and
covers the fuel categories ISO−F−DMX, DMA. DMB and DMC.
The distillate grades mentioned above can be described as follows:
− DMX is a fuel which is suitable for use at ambient temperatures
down to −15°C without heating the fuel. In merchant marine
applications, its use is restricted to lifeboat engines and certain
emergency equipment due to reduced flash point. This type of fuel
is not further specified in this chapter.

ly
Note! No W38B engines is supposed to run for any period on DMX fuels.

on
− DMA is a high quality distillate, generally designed as MGO (Marine
Gas Oil) in the marine field.
− DMB is a general purpose fuel which may contain trace amounts of
e
residual fuel and is intended for engines not specifically designed to
us

burn residual fuels. It is generally designed as MDO (Marine Diesel


Oil) in the marine field.
− DMC is a fuel which can contain a significant proportion of residual

fuel. Consequently it is unsuitable for installations where engine or


fuel treatment plants is not designed for the use of residual fuels.

the corresponding temperatures is required. These temperatures can be
determined from the diagram in fig. 0.2 – 2 . The diagram shows:
− The viscosity−temperature lines for a number of viscosity grades.
For residual fuels (ISO RM..) the viscosity is specified at 100°C .
For distillate fuels (ISO DM..) the viscosity is specified at 40°C .
The line for 35 mm2/s at 100°C fuel for instance is the one running

Purification
Heavy fuel (residuals, and mixtures of residuals, distillate and DMC)
must be purified in an efficient working centrifuge before entering the
day tank. The fuel should be heated before centrifuging.
Recommended temperatures, depending on the fuel viscosity, are stated
in the diagram, see fig. 0.2 – 2 .
Sufficient heating capacity is needed to make centrifuging at
recommended levels possible. The temperature must be controlled on
±2°C before centrifuge when centrifuging high viscosity fuels with
densities approaching or exceeding 0.991 g/ml at 15°C.
Be sure the correct gravity disc is used. Never exceed the flow rates
recommended for the centrifuge for the grade of fuel in use. The lower

ly
the flow rate the better the purification efficiency.

0.2.2.6. Avoiding difficulties during operation


on HFO*
Note! (*) This section must be taken into account only for HFO engines.

The engine is designed for burning HFO. In order to avoid difficulties


mind the following points:

1 At all loads the charge air temperature should be kept at design


temperature by controlling the LT cooling water temperature.
2 Fuel injection temperature with regard to HFO. For requirements
see "Fuel viscosity / temperature in the engine". Poor fuel quality will

ly
adversely influence wear, engine component life time and maintenance

on
intervals.
3 Clean the turbocharger turbine side frequently straight from the
beginning. Fuels with high vanadium and sodium contents in
e
unfavourable ratio’s may lead to rapid contamination of the turbine and
higher gas temperatures. In such cases more frequently cleaning is
us

necessary.
4 Limit low load operation as much as operating conditions permit if
fuel is known or suspected to have higher sulphur content above 2 %,
al

carbon content " carbon residue" above 15 % and/or asphaltene content


rn

above 8 %.
5 Avoid unstable and incompatible fuels (precipitation of heavy
te

components in the fuel) by avoiding blending of fuels unless the fuels


are known to be compatible. Store fuels from different deliveries in
In

separate tanks.
If stability and compatibility problems occur never add distillate fuel as
this will probably increase precipitation. A fuel additive with highly
powerful dispersing characteristics can be of help until a new fuel
delivery takes place.
6 Some of the difficulties may occur on heavy fuels blended from
cracked residuals, see section 0.2.2.7.

General Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

0.2.2.7. Comments on fuel characteristics

1 Viscosity determines the complexity of the fuel heating and


handling system, which should be considered when estimating
installation economy. The standard engine fuel system is designed for
fuels up to the viscosity class 55.
2 When the density exceeds 0.991 g/ml at 15°C water, and to some
extent solid matter, can no longer be removed with certainty by a
centrifuge. Centrifuging systems claiming to clean fuel oils with
densities up to 1.010 g/ml at 15°C are on the market. If such systems of
the so called controlled discharge design are installed, fuels with
densities up to 1.010 g/ml at 15°C may be used.

ly
Note! High density fuels with low viscosity may have low ignition
quality.
on
e
3 Higher sulphur content increases the risk for corrosion and wear,
particularly at low loads, and may contribute to high−temperature
us

deposit formation. The lubricating oil specification must be matched to


such qualities.
al

4 High ash content causes abrasive wear, and may cause high
temperature corrosion and contributes to formation of deposits. The
rn

most harmful ash constituents are the vanadium−sodium


combinations.
te

5 High vanadium content causes high temperature corrosion on hot


parts like exhaust valves, particularly in combination with high sodium
In

content. The corrosion accelerates with increased temperatures


(increased engine output).
6 Sodium (Na)contributes to hot corrosion on hot parts like exhaust
valves in combination with high vanadium (V) content. Sodium also
contributes strongly to fouling of the turbine blading of the
turbocharger at high exhaust gas temperature. The permissable
content of Na of the cleaned fuel should be below 30 ppm.
7 High "carbon residue" may cause deposit formation in combustion
chamber and exhaust system, particularly at low engine output.
8 High content of asphaltenes may contribute to deposit formation in
the combustion chamber and exhaust systems (at low loads).
Asphaltenes may under certain circumstances precipitate from the fuel
and will block filters and/or cause deposits in the fuel system.
Precipitating asphaltenes may also cause excessive centrifuge sludge.
9 Heavy fuels may contain up to 1 % water at delivery. Water can
originate from the installation bunker tanks. To avoid difficulties in the
engine fuel injection system water must be removed.

0.2 – 15
Manual
Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac
General

10 Reduced ignition and combustion quality can be caused by using


HFO from modern refinery processes compared with "traditional"
heavy fuels. HFO from modern refinery processes may approach at least
some of the limits of fuel characteristics.
Ignition quality is not defined nor limited in marine residual fuel
standards. The same applies to ISO−F−DMC marine distillate fuel.
The ignition quality of these fuels cannot for a variety of reasons be
determined by methods used for pure distillates, i.e. Diesel Index,
Cetane Index and Cetane Number.
Low ignition quality may cause trouble during starting and at low load
operation, especially at too low charge air temperature. This may result
in long ignition delay and as a consequence, in high firing pressure rise
ratio. The combustion will be more noisy in this case, known as "Diesel

ly
knock", i.e. hard, high pitch combustion noise. Diesel knock increases

on
mechanical load on components surrounding the combustion space,
increases thermal load, increases lube oil consumption and increases
lube oil contamination. Basically a low viscosity, in combination with a
high density, will result in a low ignition quality and is expressed in a
e
CCAI value.

What do the CCAI values mean?


Straight run residues show CCAI values (Calculated Carbon Aromaticy
Index) in the 770 to 840 range and are very good igniters. Cracked
residues delivered as bunkers may range from 840 to, in exceptional
cases, above 900.
Normal diesel engines should accept CCAI values up to 850 with no
difficulties. CCAI values between 850 and 870 may cause difficulties
under unfavourable conditions such as low charge air temperatures,
insufficient preheating of the engine at the start, malfunctioning of fuel
injection system (in particular, badly maintained nozzles).
CCAI values above 870 are not advised.

ly
Note! Although low ignition quality produces long ignition delay,

on
advancing the ignition timing makes things only worse; fuel is
injected at a lower compression temperature and this will
produce even longer ignition delay.

0.2.3. Lubricants

Lubricating oil should feature a number of physical and chemical


qualities required for reliable diesel engine operation. Apart from
lubricating bearings, cylinder liners, gears, valve mechanism etc.,
cooling is an important function. The main engine lubricating oil must
also be able to neutralize combustion products on engine parts and to
keep these products well dispersed.
Under normal operation the engine lubricating oil is exposed to high
pressures and temperatures. The oil is often finely divided as a spray or
mist, intimately mixed with air and subjected to catalytic effects of

ly
various contaminators. Contact with air results in oxidation and the
production of gums, resins and acids.

on
Other major contaminators are products of combustion, such as soot,
ash and (partially) unburnt fuel mixed with the lubricating oil on the
cylinder wall. High sulphur content of the fuel may also accelerate the
e
rate of oil deterioration.
us

Some of the contaminators can be removed by purification or filtering.


Other contaminators eventually will accumulate to the point where the
oil must be discarded. To determine the condition of the oil regular
al

sampling and testing is necessary. The samples should therefore be sent


to a qualified laboratory for a detailed analysis regarding the oil
rn

condition.
The oil manufacturer remains responsible for the quality of the oil
te

under operating conditions. It is the responsibility of the operator


together with the advise of the oil supplier and no–go criteria given by
In

Wärtsilä Corporation, to determine whether or not the oil should be


refreshed.

Remarks
Category A and B: If the recommended lube oil BN is not available also
an approved lube oil with a BN 30 can be used.

Category C: The recommended lube oil BN is especially valid for engines


with a wet oil sump using fuel with a sulphur content above 2.0 % mass.

If experience shows that the lube oil BN equilibrium remains at an


acceptable level (fuel with very low sulphur content) lube oil with a BN
te

40 can be used. Lube oil with a BN 30 is only recommended in special


cases, such as installations equipped with a SCR catalyst.
In

Category D: Lube oil with a BN 30 is a recommended alternative.


Additives
The oil should contain additives that ensures good oxidation stability,
corrosion protection, load carrying capacity, neutralisation of acid
combustion and oxidation residues and should prevent deposit
formation on internal engine parts (piston cooling gallery, piston ring
zone and bearing surfaces in particular).
Foaming characteristics
Fresh lubricating oil should meet the following limits for foaming
tendency and stability, according to the ASTM D 892−92 test method:
Sequence I, II and III : 100/0 ml
Base oils
Only the use of virgin base oils is allowed, i.e. recycled or re−refined

0.2.3.2. Influences on the lubricating oil


condition
When the engine is in operation under "extreme" conditions the
operator should check the oil condition more frequently.
The following engine conditions are "extreme" :
During the running–in period of an engine when a relative large
quantity of metal wear products are formed entering the lubricating
oil.
After replacement of liners and piston rings. The engine running–in
process will introduce larger quantities of blow–by gas existing in
combustion products (sulphur dioxide, water and CO2) and liner and
piston ring wear products.

ly
Strong fluctuations in engine load create more blow–by.
A bad fuel combustion process caused by bad condition of injectors

on
and/or fuel pumps and insufficient scavenging air pressure.
A fuel oil quality with a CCAI > 850.
Frequent engine overhaul introduces a relative high percentage of
e
dirt into the crankcase.
Postponed engine maintenance introduces the possibility of water

and fuel oil entering the lubricating oil. Piston and liner wear
increase the quantity of blow–by gas.
Frequently cold starting.

0.2.3.3. Testing of main lubricating oil

It is the duty of the operator to monitor the behaviour of the lubricating


In

oil carefully and regularly in order to ensure the oil remains in a good
condition. This is particularly necessary when a new engine is put into
operation or when a change is made in brand of oil in an engine already
in operation or when oil is taken from a batch with different
composition. However it is not advised to mix different types of
lubricating oil and in such a case always consult the lubricating oil
supplier. During testing the quality of lubricating oil the instructions of
the oil supplier have to be observed. It is advised with a new engine or
after a major overhaul to take samples of the lubricating oil at intervals
of 250 operating hours and send it to a qualified laboratory.
On the basis of the results it is possible to determine suitable intervals.

Recommendations for sampling


Samples should be drawn from the sampling valve which is
specifically fitted for this purpose.
Ensure the total quantity of oil in circulation is approximately the
same prior to drawing each sample.
Draw samples only when the engine is running and the oil is at
normal operating temperature.
Before filling the sampling container open the sampling cock and
drain some oil to make sure that it is flushed and hot oil is flowing
slowly from the outlet point.
Draw oil samples directly into clean, dry containers of one litre
capacity.
Draw a sample during a period of about ten minutes.

ly
Shake the sample thoroughly before pouring into the sample bottle
provided for this purpose; the bottle should not be filled over 90% of
its content.

0.2.3.5. Comments on lubricating oil


characteristics

1 Centrifuging of the system oil is required in order to separate water


and insolubles from the oil. Do not supply water during purifying. The
oil should be preheated till 80–90°C. Many oil manufacturers
recommend a separation temperature of 85–95°C for an effective
separation. Please check with the supplier of your lubricating oil for the
optimal temperature. Select the highest recommended temperature.
For efficient centrifuging, use not more than 20% of the rated flow
capacity of the separator. For optimum conditions, the centrifuge should

ly
be capable of passing the entire oil quantity in circulation 4–5 times
every 24 hour at 20% of rated flow. The gravity disc should be selected

Note!
on
according to the oil density at separation temperature.

e
circumstances, quickly increase the water content of the oil

3 Water content
rn

Lubricating oil with a high water content must be purified or discarded.


4 Choose BN according to our recommendations.
te

A too low BN value increases the risk of corrosion and contamination


of the engine components.
In

5 Insolubles
The quantity of insolubles allowed depends on various factors. The oil
supplier’ s recommendations should be closely followed.
1.5% Insolubles in n–Pentane call for action, however, it can be said that
changes in the analyses usually give a better basis for estimation than
the absolute values.
Rapid and big changes of insolubles may indicate abnormal operation
of the engine or system.
6 Sudden increase of wear metals indicates that there is abnormal
wear. Immediate actions should be taken to find the cause. If necessary
contact the oil supplier and/or the engine manufacturer

0.2 – 24
Manual
General Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

7 Measure and record the quantity added for compensation of the oil
consumption. Attention to lubricating oil consumption may give
valuable information about the engine condition. A continuous increase
may indicate wear of piston rings, pistons and cylinder liners. A sudden
increase demands inspection of pistons if no other reason is found.
8 Intervals between changes are influenced by system content (oil
volume), operating conditions, fuel oil quality, centrifuging efficiency and
total oil consumption. Efficient centrifuging in combination with large
systems (dry sump operation) generally allow longer intervals between
changes.
9 Daily top up of the circulating tank/wet sump will extend the life
time of the lubricating oil.

Oil is discharged into 4 vertical drillings in the piston skirt (20), see fig.
1.2 – 5 . At the end of the vertical drillings the lubricating oil flow is restricted
by orifices (19) to control the quantity of oil for piston crown cooling.
Four spray holes take care of lubrication of liner, piston skirt and piston
rings during engine operation. The flows are restricted by orifices (18).
The excess of lubricating oil on the liner is scraped off by a scraper ring
and drained via a groove, below the scraper ring, through holes in piston
skirt down into the crank case.
After passing the restrictions in top of the piston skirt the lubricating
oil enters the outer space (21) of the piston crown. The outer space is
separated from the center space by a rim in which two horizontal
grooves at certain height. Due to these grooves the outer crown space
is always partly filled with oil.

ly
During the up and down stroke of the piston the lubricating oil is shaken

on
and increased in speed, intensively cooling the piston crown. The
displaced oil flows to the center section (22) of the piston crown. A
second shaker action takes place cooling the center of the crown. After
e
cooling down the piston the lubricating oil flows to the engine sump.

1.2.2.1.1. Pressure regulating valve and safety valve

The pressure regulating valve, is integrated in the lubricating oil pump


house and regulates the oil pressure before the engine by returning the
surplus oil direct from the pressure side of the pump to the crankcase.
A pipe is connected to the engine distributing channel, where the
pressure is kept constant if the engine is running at constant speed.
This pressure actuates the regulating piston (3) and the spring (4) is
tensioned to balance this force at the required pressure. Thus the
pressure is kept constant in the distributing channel, irrespective of the
pressure in the pressure side of the pump and of the pressure drop in

ly
the system. By tensioning the spring a higher oil pressure is obtained
(if too low).

on
If, for some reason, the pressure should increase strongly in the
pressure pipe, e.g. due to clogged system, the ball (1) will open and admit
oil to pass to the regulating piston (3). This serves as a safety valve.

Assembling of cooler
1 Check cleanliness and scratches on all sealing surfaces.
2 Mount the o−rings on the oil module, use new o−rings.
3 Mount the plate heat exchanger on the oil module.
4 Tighten the plate heat exchanger fastening screws

Cleaning of oil side


Fouling of the oil side is normally insignificant. On the other hand,
possible fouling will influence the cooler efficiency very strongly.
Due to the design, the heat exchanger cannot be cleaned mechanically
from the inside. Slight fouling can be removed by blowing steam

ly
through the oil connection of the heat exchanger.
If the amount of dirt is considerable, use chemical cleaning solutions
available on the market:
on
Alkaline degreasing agents:
Suitable for normal degreasing, however, not effective for heavy
e
greases, sludge and oil coke. Requires high temperature. Always pour
degreasing agent slowly into hot water, never the contrary. Rinse
us

carefully with water after treatment.


Hydrocarbon solvents:
Include the whole range from light petroleum solutions to chlorinated
al

hydrocarbons, e.g. thrichlorethylene. These products should be handled


with care as they are often extremely volatile, toxic and/or narcotic.
rn

Solvent emulsions:
Heavy fouling, e.g. oil coke, can often be dissolved only by using these
te

solutions. Several brands are available on the market.


In

Note! Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to achieve the best results.

Cleaning of water side


The cleaning should be carried out so that it does not damage the
natural protective layer on the heat exchanger.
If the deposit in the plates is hard, e.g. calcium carbonate, it can be
removed chemically by using commercial agents. After this treatment
the heat exchanger should be rinsed and, if necessary, treated with a
solution neutralizing the residual washing agents. Otherwise, follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.

The fig. 1.2−21 shows the valve in a closed position (right). When the
temperature exceeds the nominal value, the contents of the elements
expands and forces the valve unit towards the seat, thus passing part of
the oil through the cooler. This movement continues until the right
temperature of the mixed oil is obtained. If the cooler becomes dirty, the
temperature will rise a few degrees, which is quite normal, because the
valve needs a certain temperature rise for a certain opening to increase
the oil flow through the cooler

1.2 – 20
Manual
Lubricating Oil System Wärtsilä 26 Auxpax

Maintenance
Normally, no service is required. Too low or a too high an oil
temperature may depend on a defective thermostat. However in most
cases, it is usually a dirty cooler, if too high a temperature.

In

3 Check the element by heating it slowly in water. Check at which


temperatures the element starts opening and is fully open. The values
can be found on the thermostatic element or in chapter 1.0; the lower
value for the lube oil temperature is the opening temperature, the
higher for the fully open valve.
4 Change the defective element. Check O−rings and change, if
necessary. Apply sealing compound to the sealing faces between the
cover (2) and the oil module.

Warning! Elements exposed to a temperature of more than 10°C above the


nominal working range will be damaged and should be renewed.

1.2.2.2.3. Automatic back−flushing filter

General
The filter is full flow filter, i.e. the whole oil flow passes through the
filter.
The arrows in Fig. 1.2−22 show the flow through the filters. At first, the
oil flows through the inlet flange and turbine (1) to the bottom end of
the filter candles (2); a partial stream of about 50 % is passed through
the central connection tube (3) to the top end of the filter candles. This
means that the oil flows through the filter candles at both ends from
inside outwards and most of the dirt particles are retained in the inside
of the candles. The oil filtered in this way now passes through the

ly
protective filter (4) to the filter outlet.

The flow energy drives the turbine (1) installed in the inlet flange. The
high speed of the turbine is reduced by the worm gear unit (5) and gear
(6) to the lower speed required for turning the flushing arm (7).
The individual filter candles are now connected successively to the
atmosphere by means of continuosly rotating flushing arm (7), the
flushing bush (8) and nozzle (16).
The unfiltered oil passes through the optimally designed bores of the top
cover plate (10) into the individual filter candles from above. The
resultant turbulent stream in the longitudial direction of the filter
candles (cross−flow back flushing) and the counter flow back−flushing
through the filter candles result in a particularly effective and lasting
back−flushing action.
The lower pressure in the interior of the filter candles during the

ly
back−flushing operation (connected with the centrifugal filter) and the
higher pressure (operating pressure) outside the filter candles produce

on
a counter−flow though the mesh from the clean filter side through the
dirty filter side to the centrifugal filter.
Should for any reason the filter candles (first filter stage) no longer be
e
adequately cleaned, the overflow valves (11) are opened at a differential
pressure of 2 bar upwards and the oil is only filtered through the
us

protective filter (4) (second filter stage).


However, before this situation arises, the installed differential pressure
indicator emits a differential pressure warning (first contact). The
al

cause must now be localised and remedied.


If this warning is not heeded, an alarm is emitted by the second contact
rn

of the differential pressure indicator.


The filter may only be operated in this emergency condition for a short
te

time (opened overflow valves and differential pressure warning).


Prolonged operation in this mode can result in damage to downstream
In

components.
The overflow valves are closed under normal operating conditions, even
during start−up at lower fluid temperatures.

Maintenance
Even with automatic filters inspections and maintenance must be
performed at regular intervals.
It is extremely important to remember that in spite of constant
back−flushing the mesh may become clogged over the course of time,
depending on the quality of the fluid.
In order to maintain trouble−free operation, the following aspects are
to be observed during maintenance:

1 Check filter and connections for leaks.


2 Conduct visual inspection of all filter candles once a year.
Note! Should a higher differential pressure occur beforehand, all the filter
candles (2) and the protective filter (4) must be checked and, if
necessary, cleaned or the candles are to be replaced by new ones.

A highly contaminated protective filter is a sign of prolonged operation


with defective or clogged filter candles and thus (from a differential
pressure of 2 bar upwards) opened overflow valves.
It is imperative to check these components.
3 Check the ease of movement of the worm gear unit (5), the turbine
(1) including gear (6) with flushing arm (7) and (15).
To this end the cover or the screw plug must be removed. Now check the
ease of movement with a suitable spanner (on the hexagon of the worm
gear unit).

Lubricating Oil System Wärtsilä 26 Auxpax

Operation
The filter comprises a housing (4) in which a dynamically balanced rotor
assembly (5) with a hardened steel spindle (6) rotates. The rotor
comprises a cleaning chamber(7) and an outlet chamber (8). The oil flow
at connection (2) from the back−flushing filter enters at the inner side
of the spindle (6) and flows to the cleaning chamber (7). The oil then
passes from the cleaning chamber to the outlet chamber (8) with outlet
holes (9) at the lower part of the rotor.
The oil flow to the drive tubes (10) direct from the lubricating oil pump
drives a pelton turbine wheel (11) which is connected to the spindle. By
the high speed of the rotor the oil inside the cleaning chamber (7) is
subjected to a high centrifugal force. The dirt particles will form a

ly
deposit of heavy sludge on the paper on the wall of the rotor assembly.
The clean oil from the outlet holes (9) and the oil from the turbine wheel

on
drive returns via drain hole (12) of the filter housing back to the engine
oil sump.

Starting Air System

1.3.1. General

The start of an engine requires a large amount of air under high


pressure for a relatively brief period. To meet this demand it is necessary
to provide a system for compressed air stored in vessels until needed.
The starting air system should consist of an air compressor driven by
an electric motor, air vessel(s), pressure gauge, relief valve, piping to the
engine and a compressed air supply valve located near the engine.
Normally, the minimum compressor capacity should be sufficient to
replenish the starting air for the largest unit in one hour after such
supply has been reduced to the minimum pressure necessary to start the

ly
engine.

on
The total air vessel volume depends on the air storage pressure, the
number of starts required before recharging the vessels, the number of
engines in the installation and the starting air requirements for the
e
largest engine.
At least two vessels should be available in each installation to insure
us

that starting air pressure is always available even if a vessel is out of


service for any reason.
The compressed air system should be free of condensation and the most
al

effective way to prevent condensation occurring in a compressed air line


is to ensure that the air has a dew–point below the temperature to which
rn

any part of the system will be exposed for an appreciable period of time.
This can be achieved by appropriated components. Water in compressed
te

air systems can give rise to one or several of the following indirect costs:
In

– water damage to instrumentation and compressed air starter motor.


– rusting of pipework which will lead to leaking traps, joints and
solenoids etc.
– clogging of hygroscopic materials.

Engine start process
The engine is started by compressed air for driving the compressed air
starter motor(s) ( max. 12 bar and min. 7 bar), see fig. 1.3 – 1 .
On a signal to start the engine:
– Start solenoid valve (01) is activated electrically,
– Admitting throttled air to rotate the starter motor slowly while
connecting the bendix ’L’ to the gear ring on the flywheel.
– after the bendix is engaged, valve ’F’ opens the air supply to switch
valve ’H’ into open position, supplying full air pessure to the starter

ly
motor ’K’.
– the starter motor ’K’ starts to rotate the engine.

on
– At the moment the engine fires, solenoid valve (01) is de–energized,
valve ’F’ is depressurized and the main starting valve ’H’ is closed.
The air supply to the compressed air starter motor stops.

1.3.3. Compressed air starter motor

1.3.3.1. General

The Wärtsilä 26B2 diesel engines are started with an air starter
operating at a nominal pressure of maximum 10 bar. The air starter
drives a pinion that turns the gear mounted on the flywheel. The air
motor is of the turbine type, inertia engaged.

ly
The Wärtsilä 26B2 starts when the master starting valve is opened
electrically or manually. The pinion of the air starter moves forward due

on
to a bendix on the driving shaft and its own inertia; then it softly
engages the turning gear and it gives full torque only when the
engage−phase is completed. When the pinion has reached its most
e
outward position, the main slave valve opens and the full airflow
accelerates the diesel engine.
us

At 125 rpm the master starter valve closes, the pinion is drawn back by
the toothed ring and it is pushed to its original position by the driving
force of the diesel engine.
al

As a precaution the engine can not be started when the turning gear is
rn

engaged.

1.3.3.2. Description of compressed air starter


motor basic operation

Pressurized air is admitted to the starter by opening of the manual or


relay valve. The air expands through the turbine, which produces shaft
rotation and torque. The acceleration of the drive assembly causes the
pinion to advance and engage the ring gear of the engine.
The starter motor torque causes the engine to accelerate. This
acceleration causes the pinion to be disengaged from the ring gear. The
fuel and ignition systems now fire the engine. Closing the relay valve
stops the starter.

ly
The operator may decrease starter life by the continual operation of the
starter after the engine has started. Upon a successful engine start, turn

on
the air off to the starter immediately. Minimizing the time the starter
is operating unloaded (i.e. the engine is running) will maximize starter
life. If a start is aborted, a restart may be attempted after the engine and
e
the starter has come to rest.

1.4.1. Internal cooling water system

1.4.1.1. General

A closed circuit cooling water system divided into a high temperature


circuit (HT) anda low temperature circuit (LT) cools the engine.
– The HT cooling water circuit cools the cylinders. Two direct acting
thermostatic valves on the engine control the outlet temperature of
the circuit.

ly
– The LT cooling water circuit cools the charge air cooler and the

on
lubricating oil circuit. Two direct acting thermostatic valves
mounted on the engine, control the outlet temperature of the circuit.
e
The circuits on the engine can be either separate or combined, thanks
us

to differences in the thermostat casing.


To prevent high temperatures in the HT, caused by local trapped air,
continuous de−aeration lines are attached to the multi−duct on each
al

cylinder head. For the same reason multi−ducts, oil−cooler, charge air
cooler & thermostat casing (LT side & HT side) should be de−aerated
rn

each time the water system is filled up again.


The HT−circuit contains the following equipment:
te

– Engine driven circulating water pump


In

– Two thermostatic valves


– Two HT adjustable orifices

The LT−circuit contains the following equipment:


– Engine driven circulating water pump
– Lubricating oil cooler.
– Charge air cooler.
– Two thermostatic valves.
– Two LT adjustable orifices .

1.4.1.2. Description HT cooling water system


At the suction side of the HT cooling water pump water returning from
the engine and water from the external cooler is mixed in the
thermostatic block. The cooling water at the correct temperature is
forced in to the cooling water inlet channel of the engine.

Flow from cylinder liner to cylinder head


The cooling water flows with a relatively low speed from the inlet channel
(4) at the bottom of the liners upwards almost to the top of the liners. At
the exhaust side, a recess in the engine block makes it possible to pass the
rim around the liner. Next cooling water flows with increased speed from
one side to the other resulting in better cooling of the liner top side.

ly
After circulating around the liner top side, cooling water is collected at
camshaft side in a vertical drilling in top of the engine block. An

on
interconnecting pipe (11) conducts the cooling water into the cylinder
head bottom side, see fig. 1.4 – 1 .

Cylinder head
The cooling water is forced over the cylinder head bottoms and along the
injector sleeves. A part of the cooling water is forced around both the
exhaust valve seats. In a common space in the cylinder head, cooling water
is cooling the exhaust gas ductings. Cooling water is collected at top of the
cylinder head at exhaust gas side into the multiduct (12). After the
multiduct water goes to the outlet channel (5A and 5B), see fig. 1.4 – 1 .

Thermostatic valves
Relative cold water, returning from the external cooler, is mixed with
hot water from the engine outlet by thermostatic valves to the correct
temperature for the engine inlet. The bracket turbocharger

1.4.2.2. Cleaning
te

In completely closed systems fouling will be minimal if cooling water is

Depending on the cooling water quality and the efficiency of the
treatment, cooling water spaces may or may not foul over the length of
time. Deposits on cylinder liners, cylinder heads and cooler stacks
should be removed to avoid disturbance in heat transfer to the cooling
water with thermal overload as consequence.
Necessity of cleaning should be investigated, especially during the first
year of operation. This may be executed during a cylinder liner
inspection on fouling and deposits on the liner and block. Deposits can
quite vary in structure and consistency and can in principle
mechanically and/or chemically be removed.

The term "charge air" or "supercharging" refers to the practice of filling
the cylinder, with air at a pressure substantially higher than
atmospheric pressure to support the combustion of the fuel, plus a
sufficient excess to control internal combustion and exhaust gas
temperatures.
Supercharging is realised by a turbo charging system consisting of
centrifugal compressor(s) each driven by an exhaust gas turbine.
Turbochargers utilise energy in the exhaust gasses and improve the
engine efficiency. The speed of turbochargers has no fixed ratio to the

1.5.4.1. General
If the engine takes combustion air from the engine room, all combustion
air should than first be supplied into the engine room. The design of
engine room ventilation, special in the vicinity of the charge air intake
filters, can highly influence the good performance of the engine
combustion process. Full air supply to the air intake filter under arctic
conditions may create too low combustion gas temperature, and

ly
ambient air further heated in the engine room under tropical conditions

on
will raise the exhaust gas temperatures in the engine far too much. For
good engine operation the following should be taken into consideration:
– Engine room ventilation should be such that water, foam, sand, dust
e
exhaust smoke etc. can’t enter the engine room.
us

– Avoid heating of fresh combustion air by striking hot engine room


machinery.
– In case the engine room temperature raises over 45°C the engine
al

room ventilation ducting should be directed even nearer to the


turbocharger inlet filter to avoid further heating of the fresh air. If

1.5.4.2.2. Operation

To prevent the cooling water from freezing when the engine is not in
operation the temperature in the engine room should be kept at a
minimum temperature of + 5 °C. When the temperature is below 5 °C
precautions have to be taken by means of anti freeze additives. In this
case it must be realized that this affects the heat balance.
A rising air temperature accompanied by a fall in air pressure indicates
the fin plates around the tubes are becoming contaminated. A rising air
temperature with water pressure difference over the cooler indicates
contamination inside the tubes by scale or dirt. In either case cleaning
of the cooler stack is required.

ly
1.5.4.3. Condensate draining

on
Check daily, during operation of the engine, if the condensate drain
e
pipes located on the housing of the charge air cooler and charge air
receiver are open. Under normal operating conditions only compressed
us

air should escape from these holes and possible some condensate.
If excessive water escapes from the condensate drain pipes this can be
caused by:
al

− Condensate due to high air humidity.


rn

Condensate can be formed at the outside of the tubes of the air cooler
te

and is carried together with the air into the combustion chambers of the
cylinders.
In

The quantity of condensate depends on the suction air temperature,


humidity, charge air pressure and charge air temperature. There will
always be some condensate on the pipes of the charge air cooler.
Do not reduce the cooling water flow.
Excessive water (condensate) in the combustion chambers can cause
corrosion on liners, piston rings and pistons and cold corrosion on fuel
injector nozzles.
− Charge air cooler stack has one or more leaking tubes.
This should be confirmed by a lowering of the level of the expansion
tank. Check the kind of water (treated water or not) Continuously
water leaking when the engine is out of operation may indicate a
leaking cooler stack.
Inspection of the cooler stack on short notice is required.
Note! Condensate drain points have the function to inform the operator on
the presence of water in the charge air receiver.
Condensate drain points are not designed to drain large quantities
of water and should always be open.

1.5.4.4. Maintenance

Clean the cooler at intervals according to chapter 2.4. or, if at full load,
the charge air temperature cannot be maintained.

1.5.4.4.1. Cleaning

General
Cleaning of the water and air side of the charge air cooler is required to
restore thermal cooler performance. Cleaning can be done either
mechanical, hydraulic or chemical. Several international companies
supply equipment and chemicals for cleaning of heat exchangers.

ly
Cleaning intervals vary with the mode of operation, cooling water and
intake air quality, etc.
on
During cleaning the cooler should internally be inspected on scaling and
corrosion.
e
Scale increases the risk of pitting corrosion and scale coming loose
us

blocks the tubes leading to erosion.


Always check for erosion after cleaning.
al

Cleaning water side


rn

Remove the water covers from the stack and inspect the tubes
internally. When deposits are soft, which will occur in most of the
installations, use special nylon brushes connected to a rod. The type of
te

brush must be selected in accordance with the finned tube. Replace


gaskets or O–rings.
In

Cleaning air side


Remove the cooler stack. To clean the fins of the tubes, immerse the
stack in a chemical bath containing a degreasing solvent. Raising and
lowering the stack in the solution or bringing the solution into
movement by means of a steam jet or air, will accelerate the cleaning
process. Direct after the cleaning is completed the cooler is to be flushed
by applying a powerful water jet
Note! When using chemicals take the necessary precaution and follow the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the chemicals.

Hydraulic cleaning
Hydraulic cleaning has to be carried out with the cooler stack removed
using a high pressure spray gun with a special nozzle to remove dirt
deposits inside the tubes. For the outside of the tubes a nozzle with a
diameter of 3 mm is recommend. Attack the cooling tubes with the water
yet vertical this means parallel to the fins. A suitable distance to avoid
damage is 2 meter.

The following factors may influence the degree of fouling e.g.:
– Environment.
– Fuel quality.
– Load pattern.

1.5.6.3. Compressor side cleaning

The compressor should be cleaned by water injection during the engine


operation. The cleaning process will have good results as long as the
deposit formation has not gone too far.
In this method of cleaning the water is not acting as a solvent but
instead removes the deposits mechanically by the impact of the water
droplets. Use clean water without additives.
Daily cleaning of the compressor prevents or delays excessive build−up
of dirt. In case a very thick hardened crust of dirt is formed, the
compressor has to be dismantled for cleaning.
The cleaning system is provided with a water container (1). During

The water content is forced to the compressor wheel inlet via pipe (3).
3 The complete water volume should be injected in 4 – 10 sec. The
success of cleaning can be evaluated by comparing engine exhaust gas
temperatures before and after cleaning. If unsuccessfully, the cleaning

Note! Regular cleaning of the turbine during operation prevents or retards


excessive formation of deposits.
te

Use only clean, fresh water with no additives or solvents. The fresh

1.6.1. General

The engine is equipped with a control system which comprises the


following functions:
– starting of the engine
– slow turning of the engine
– stopping of the engine
– emergency stop of the engine

ly
– controlling the engine speed / load

on
– measuring of the engine and turbocharger speed

These functions are automatically carried out by the control air and
e
mechanical control systems during starting, running, reducing load and
us

stopping engine modes. The engine is also equipped with hand


controlled safety devices for all the emergency operations.
Control of the rotating speed of an engine is accomplished by varying
al

the rate of fuel admission in the engine cylinders. The duty to which the
engine is applied usually determines the degree of accuracy required in
rn

engine speed control. An actuator is used to control the engine speed


and thus enables the engine to respond to changing load requirements.
te

The control system is constituted by a series of mechanical and


pneumatic control devices and it is assisted by the conventional
In

automation system (See Chapter 1.7 Automation System).


The engine is continuously under the control of a monitoring system
constituted of a series of sensors and switches, that transfer all the
necessary information to the control devices.

Many governing problems are the result of improper selection or


improper treatment of oil used in the actuator. The actuator should be
serviced on a routine schedule according to the maintenance schedule
of section 2.4.1.2..
When changing oil types flush the hydraulic system before oil change.

ly
Do not mix different types of oil. Most actuators with sumps do not have

on
filters, therefore, add only clean oil. If water enters change the oil
immediately. Clean oil is of most importance in hydraulic governing
system.
e
Consult the sub−suppliers manual for oil quality and viscosity selection
as well for acceptable operating temperatures.
us

Maintain the oil level in the actuator between the limits on the sight
glass and do not overfill. During a refill keep the oil level low and add
more oil during running of the engine if needed. Oil in bad condition
al

causes approximately 50% of all governing troubles.


rn

When during engine operation one of the following circumstances are


observed the engine should be stopped, the oil changed and the reason
te

for the oil deterioration be examined:


– The oil looks different from new.
In

– The oil feels dirty or fumes bad.


– There is water or dirt in the oil.
– The viscosity of the oil has changed; increased or decreased.
– Actuator parts are damaged or bad.
– The actuator has run at a higher temperature than recommended for
the oil being used.

1.6.2.2. Booster

The booster activated by air the moment the engine is started, boosts
the oil pressure in the actuator accumulator. This makes fast response
of the actuator power piston and fuel rack possible at initial start of the
engine.
The booster supplies pressurized oil to mechanical–hydraulic actuators
and electro–hydraulic actuators instantaneous the starting air fills the
starting air header on the engine. This instant oil pressure eliminates
the time required for gear pump in the actuator to build up enough oil
pressure to move the linkage. This produces a faster start, conserving
starting air.

ly
The booster is positioned lower than the actuator to prevent trapped air
in booster and oil lines.
on
When the booster is inactive, the piston is held at one end of a cylinder
by a spring. The cylinder is filled with oil supplied from a line from the
e
actuator’s sump.
us

When the booster is activeted, engine starting air at the bottom side of
the piston pressurises the oil which is forced through ports and piping
into the oil system of the actuator.

Check valves control the oil to flow in only one way.


This avoids the returning of booster oil during the starting process.

In

– observation to proper connections of the linkage mechanism

Trouble shooting
Fluctuations in engine speed or load are usual ascribed to an improper
working of the actuator however before exchanging or doing any
inspection of the actuator check the following:
1 Check engine load is not beyond maximum load.
2 Check if the fuel supply to the fuel pumps is at operating pressure
and no vapour locks exist.
3 Check cylinder firing pressures and proper working of injectors.

1.7.1. Introduction
The UNIC−C1 automation system is an embedded engine management
system. The system has a modular design, and some parts and functions
are optional in the C1 configuration. The system is specifically designed
for the demanding environment on engines, thus special attention has
been paid to temperatureand vibration endurance in the design. This
rugged design allows the system to be directly mounted on the engine,
which will givea very compact design without components to be
mounted in dispersed external cabinets or panels, and allows the engine
to be delivered fully tested from factory. The number of in and outputs
is determined to optimally suit this application, and the galvanic signal
isolation is also made to match these needs.

ly
The system is a combination of the traditional approach of
point−to−point wiring of sensor signals to an external alarm system,

on
and a modern system handling fundamental engine safety, and speed
control.

The selector switch Engine MODE (HS724)

This mode selector switch has the following four positions:


− Local: Local control of engine start and stop enabled.
− Remote: Remote control of engine start and stop enabled.
− Blocked: Starting is electrically blocked (both local− and remote
start).
− Blow: When the selector is in this position, it is possible to perform

ly
a "blow" (an engine rotation check with indicator valves open) when

on
pressing the local start button. The engine will not start (fuel shaft
limited to zero), only the starting air valve will be activated while
pressing the start button in this situation.

which activates the el. pneumatic stop solenoids, and also informs the
MCM−10 to enter shutdown mode i.e. to set the fuel shaft to zero
position. The push button position is latching, and it needs to be turned

The MCM−10 is a versatile, configurable microprocessor based
control− and data acquisition module. It has a variety of analogue and
digital measuring channels, as well as a number of analogue and binary
outputs. The module is designed for mounting directly on the engine.
Engine mounting allows the engine to be delivered fully tested from
factory, and also allowing a faster commissioning.

The CPU used in MCM−10 is a high−performance Motorola
PowerPC MPC561 controller. The module itself contains diagnostic
features on internal system integrity (like memory checksums, CPU
watchdog, system temperature) as well as advanced I/O checks based on
signal processing, like open/short circuit detection and sensor
diagnostics. In addition, depending on application, also other
application specific diagnostics is available. The max. current
consumption of MCM−10 (all outputs energised) is 2 A, while the idle
comsumption is less than 200 mA.
The MCM−10 module handles the following main tasks in the
UNIC−C1 system:
−Speed control
−Timing rack control*

Note! *) Only on engines with separate timing rack.

1.7– 8
Manual
Automation System Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

1.7.3.1. Speed controller


The main task of the MCM−10 module is acting as the speed controller
for the engine. The speed controller functionality is fully embedded in
the module, and optimised to suit Wärtsilä genset or main engine
applications on ship installations. On engines equipped with UNIC−C1
the module supports speed control with droop, where only a minimum
of in/out−signals are needed between external systems and the engine,
and no signals at all are needed between the engines. As the controller
is a droop controller, no additional signals are needed for load sharing.
In order to meet very high demands in terms of reliability, two speed
sensors are simultaneously used by the controller. If one speed sensor
fails, the operation will be uninterrupted. Speed controller parameters

ly
are verified and if necessary changed at the test run facilities at the
engine maker, i.e. parameters do normally not have to be changed at the

on
installation. However, in case some changes are necessary, a separate
service tool needs to be connected to the module. Downloaded settings
are permanently stored in the module’s flash memory, and are not lost
at a power failure.

1.7.3.2. Timing rack control


On engines with a separate timing rack, this module also handles the
al

control of the timing rack. The timing rack functionality is fully


embedded in the module and is tuned to meet both optimal engine
rn

performance and high emission requirements.

The ESM−10 (Engine Safety Module) module handles the fundamental
engine safety, a number of speed measuring functions and feed signals
to some instruments. The ESM−10 is also the interface to the shutdown
devices and local instruments and the module constitutes also the major
signal interface to external systems of the engine. The ESM−10 module
design is largely redundant, based on hardwired logic and built to meet
the stringest safety regulation. All adjustments are performed with
DIP−switches and potentiometers i.e. the module needs no
programmingfor application set−up.

1.7.4.3. Speed measuring and speed switches

The engine speed is measured with two independent speed sensors with
separate supply circuits and with separate sensor failure detection
circuits. The sensors are of inductive proximity PNP−type. The
frequency from the speed sensors are converted into analogue voltages
proportional to the rotational speed. The voltage signals are used to trig
the internal overspeed trip circuits in ESM−10. Overspeed limits are
fixed to 115 % of rated engine speed.
The two speed measuring channels are compared and if the difference
is more than 5 %, speed differential failure is indicated.
The higher speed value is selected and used as an internal speed signal

ly
for controlling the analogue outputs and the speed switches.

Failure detection:

Speed differential failure indication is disabled if rotational speed is
e
smaller of speed switch 1. The speed differential failure is triggered

indication (in WIP−10).


Overspeed shutdown:
− Trigging point for overspeed shutdown 1 is 115 % of rated engine
speed.
− Trigging point for overspeed shutdown 2 is also 115 % of rated engine
speed.

Other stop/shutdown inputs

The following additional inputs are used in ESM−10:

− Stop 1 is activated by MCM−10 (if used) or by the local− and remote

output Shutdown status is not activated in case of this situation.
− Main controller shutdown is activated by MCM−10 (if used) in
case of an automatically generated shutdown. An activation of this

1.7.6. Functionality of the MCM−10 (optional)

1.7.6.1. Speed controller


Speed control
In the speed control algorithm the speed refernce is compared with the
measured engine speed. The difference between these signals
constitutes the input to a PID−controller. The regulation output of the
MCM−10 controller will accordingly change, to sustain the reference
level. This output will set the position request of the fuel actuator, i.e.
control the diesel fuel rack position. The fuel actuator can either be an

ly
electro−hydraulic actuator or a full−electric actuator.
The PID−controller has different sets of dynamic parameters for

on
operation under acceleration and under rated speed, to obtain optimal
stability under all conditions. The PID map settings are speed
dependent for start acceleration and for open circuit breaker/clutch
e
conditions and load dependent when the engine is loaded. An adaptive
speed deviation dependent feature is also provided, to minimise large
us

speed fluctuations. The proportional gain is speed deviation mapped,


for more aggressive control in case of large deviations from the reference
speed.
al

Limiters
rn

Three fuel limiters are available. Below, a description of these limiters.


− A start fuel limiter is active during the engine start, up to a rotational
te

speed level of 20 rpm below rated speed. The start fuel limiter settings
in this 8−point table are speed dependent, and the limiter works in
In

combination with a speed reference ramp, used at engine start. The


acceleration ramp is set for an optimal acceleration rate.
− A charge air pressure limiter (8−point map) is used to reduce
overfuelling and black smoke at load steps at low engine load levels. This
feature will also improve the engine’s load acceptance at low load levels.
− A load dependent fuel limiter is used to set an envelope of the max.
fuelling at various engine loads. This feature will improve the engine’s
load acceptance, but is also used as a limiter for setting the max. output
(110% load).

Synchronising sequence
For synchronising, the UNIC−C1 system’s binary speed increase and
speed decrease inputs are used. When the engine reaches rated speed,
an external device (synchronizer) activates the synchronising sequence.
Commands from this synchroniser unit activate the two binary inputs
OS163 Speed increase and OS164 Speed decrease to reach the requested
speed level. The speed reference can be altered between an allowed min.
and max. speed reference level, with a rate of 0,3 rpm/s when keeping
one of these inputs activated (low). The internal speed reference is in

1.7– 20
Manual
Automation System Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

this way adjusted so that the generator frequency exactly will match the
plant frequency. When the two frequencies are totally matched (in
addition also the phase matching and the generator voltage level), the
generator breaker can be closed.

Engine loading
When the generator breaker is closed, i.e. when the generating set is
operated in droop mode, the load is ramped up by activating the OS163
Speed increase input. The speed reference increases with a different
rate compared to when the generator breaker was open. The rate of
change is configurable. Increase commands are used until the load level
of this generating set is equal to other sets running in parallel. The
relative load level of the engine, will after this be automatically set

ly
according to the relative load of the entire plant (see next chapter, Load
sharing). The engine load can in the corresponding way be decreased,

on
by activating the OS164 Speed decrease input, when it is intended to
shut it down. When the load has reached low level, the generator
breaker can be opened, and the generating set be shut down.
e
On power plant engines also a load control mode is provided. This
us

control mode is activated when the input OS7328 kW control enable is


activated and the GS798 Generator breaker status and GS799 Grid
breaker status inputs are both closed. The load control mode has most
al

benefits in base load applications where the grid frequency stability is


low. The engine load will not fluctuate according to the frequency in the
rn

same way as it would do in speed control mode with droop. In load


control mode, the load reference (input OT795 kW reference) is
te

compared with the actual load of the engine (UT793 Generator 1 load).
The difference between these signals constitutes the input to a
In

PID−controller. The regulation output of this controller will


accordingly vary, to substain the load reference level. The load control
mode PID−controller’s dynamic settings have load dependent
mapping.
If the frequency deviates outside a pre−defined window, or if the UT793
Generator 1 load signal fails, the control mode will automatically trip
back to speed control. The speed reference is updated continuously by
the speed control loop also in load control, which means that if a trip
occurs, the transfer will basically be bumbless (no load swing). By
toggling the OS7328 kW control enable input, the load control mode will
be restored, providing that all enabling conditions are met.

Load sharing
When two or more engines are operating in parallel, some kind of load
sharing must be provided. Load sharing means that each engine will
contribute equally to the total power demand, and it ensures that load
changes are absorbed evenly by the engines in operation. The engine is
operated under speed droop control mode, i.e. load sharing with other
engines is provided with the use of droop.

1.7– 21
Manual
Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac
Automation System

Droop control is a load sharing method, by which parallel running


generating sets share the load by decreasing their internal speed
reference proportionally to an increase in load. No communication or
signalling is needed between the engines. The droop value is normally
set to 4 %, but the setting can if necessary be changed.
Too low droop value means that the load can potentially start oscillating
between the engines. Too high droop value means that the plant’s
frequency decreases more steeply with the load level.
Load sharing based on droop, means that the power management
system (PMS) may after major load changes compensate the effect
derived from the droop slope. Therefore, this system should under such
conditions activate the OS163 Speed increase or the OS164 Speed
decrease input of UNIC−C1 (in so called cascade control) to compensate

ly
for the droop slope i.e. to ensure that the bus frequency is kept within
a certain window regardless of net load level. The PMS system must

on
however have a control deadband implemented, allowing for an uneven
load or frequency drift of 1...2 %.
e
Backup governor (optional)
us

In some mechanical main propulsion engine applications a mechanical


backup governor is provided. Should the MCM−−10 speed controller
have a dual power supply loss or otherwise fail, the mechanical backup
governor will automatically take over. This mechanical governor will
al

however only provide fundamental speed governor in droop, while


rn

special dynamic features and control modes will not be provided.

1.7.6.2. Timing rack control (if separate timing


te

rack onengine)
In

On engines with a separate timing rack , the MCM−10 module also


handles the control of the timing rack. The timing rack control
functionality is fully embedded in the module and is tuned to meet both
optimal engine performance and high emission requirements.
The timing map is mapped in a 30x8−point reference table according
to the engine load and the engine speed. As engine load is not available
in main engine applications on ship installations, the controller always
uses the fuel (reference signal to the fuel rack actuator) as load signal.
To avoid interaction between fuel rack control and timing rack control,
special offsetting and reference ramps are used in the timing control.
Some offsets are provided in special cases for the timing reference, to
compensate for ambient conditions. These offsets are based on ambient
air humidity, ambient air pressure, ambient air temperature and charge
air temperature.

1.8.1. Introduction
The generator is air− or water−cooled (optional), brushless,
constant−voltage synchronous generator and is of the self−excited
type with an electronic voltage regulator integrated in the excitation
system.
The generator is provided with one deep−groove ball bearings,
cylindrical roller bearings or sleeve bearings depending on installation.
The air−cooled generator is internally cooled with shaft−mounted fan.
The fan provided at the drive−end draws cooling air axially through the
machine.
Brushless synchronous generators consists of the main machine and

ly
the exciter. The main machine field winding is powered from the exciter
rotor winding via a rotating, three−phase bridge−connected rectifier
set.
on
The synchronous generator incorporates an exciter supplying a
three−phase current which is converted into DC and then fed to the
e
rotor winding of the main machine. The exciting current for the exciter
is supplied by the main machine via the built−in excitation unit with
us

electronic regulator.
More detailed information can be found in the manual of
themanufacturer.

Generator Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

A generator is designed to produce a voltage level suitable for the load


to which it is connected. The control circuits are designed to
automatically maintain this voltage level as the load is increased or
decreased.
Sudden large changes in loading will produce temporary changes in the
voltage. The control circuit is designed to recover to a stable condition
as quickly as possible.
The current drawn from the generator is determined by the amount of
load connected to it. Current creates a temperature rise in the windings,
hence the requirement for drawing air through the generator by means
of the fan. If the full load rated current is exceeded on any phase of the
main stator windings, it will result in overheating in this winding.
Similarly, any restriction in the flow of air through the machine will

ly
result in a rapid increase in the temperature of the windings.

1.8.2. Installation on
e
The mains connection is made at the terminal bars provided at the
inside on top of the housing. The slanted cable entry can be detached
us

and turned round for cable entry from above, if required.


The thyristor voltage regulator is located inside the housing, opposite
the mains connection. Its cover can be removed to obtain external access
al

to the setpoint potentiometer.


The space over the regulator can be used for the accommodation of
rn

current transformers, if required.

1.8.3. Routine maintenance


1.8.3.1. General
Warning! Hazardous voltage, before starting any work on a generator, make
sure that it has been disconnected from the power supply (test that
there is zero voltage and earth or disconnect wiring) and that
unintentional starting is safely prevented.

Clean the cooling air passages at regular intervals, matching the degree
of pollution and using oil−free compressed air, for example.
The inside of totally−enclosed fan−cooled generators need only be
cleaned during normal overhauls. If dust or moisture has penetrated

ly
into the terminal compartment, it should be carefully cleaned and dried,
in particular the surfaces of the insulating parts. Check the seals and
eliminate the leak.

1.8.3.2. Inspection
on
e
The first inspection should be carried out after approximately 500
us

hours. The rate of fouling should be assessed and appropriate periods


for cleaning the cooling air ducts decided upon.
The following checks should also be carried out:
al

− Running smoothness of machine satisfactory


rn

− Rotor alignment within tolerances


− No subsidence or cracks in the foundation
te

− All fixing bolts of mechanical and electrical joints tight


In

− Insulation resistance of windings satisfactory (compare with


previous reading and record)
− No bridging of any bearing insulation
Any excessive deviations or changes ascertained during the checks must
be corrected immediately. Damaged or used locked elements from
released bolted joints must be renewed.
The basic intervals between inspections are approximately 4000 hours,
1000 switching operations or 1 year for intermittent operation and
approximately 16,000 hours or 2 years for continuous operation,
depending on which occurs first.
The cleaning of all parts becoming fouled by the flow of cooling air
depends on the intervals decided after the first inspection according to
the rate of fouling which occurs locally.
Cleaning should be carried out with dry compressed air.
Note! Information on oil changes, regreasing, etc. is given on the
lubrication instruction plate on the generator or in the
supplementary instructions for bearings.

Manual
Generator Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

The checks stated for the first inspection after 500 hours should be
performed during these inspections also.
When a machine is dismantled the following checks should be made:
− Slot wedges in stator and rotor cores tight
− Windings, connection leads, and insulating parts in satisfactory
condition with no discoloration.
After reassembly, again follow the instructions given for installation.

1.8.3.3. Air filters (air cooled generator)


1.8.3.3.1. Air filter cleaning period

ly
The cleaning period depends on the site conditions and can change. The
cleaning of the filter is requested if the record of the stator winding

on
temperature (using the stator winding sensors) indicates an abnormal
increase in temperature.

1.8.3.3.2. Air filter cleaning procedure (synthetic filter


e
mat)
us

The filter element is immersed in a tank of cold or warm water


(temperautre less than 50°C). Use water with detergent added.
Shake the filter gently to ensure that the water flows through the filter
al

in both directions.When the filter is clean, rinse it with clear water.


Drain the filter properly (there must be no more formation of droplets).
rn

Refit the filter on the machine. Do not clean the filter using compressed
air. This procedure would reduce filter efficiency.
te

Caution! Do not use water with a temperature higher than 50°C, do not use
solvents.
In

However, it is often more economical to change the filter mat.

1.8.3.4. Insulation testing

Warning! Hazardous voltage, before starting any work on a generator, make


sure that it has been disconnected from the power supply (test that
there is zero voltage and earth or disconnect wiring) and that
unintentional starting is safely prevented.
Caution! Before checking insulation resistance, disconnect and earth the
leads from Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) .

Before commissioning and after long periods of storage or standstill the


insulation resistance of the windings to the frame must be measured
with D.C. voltage.
Do not discontinue measurement before the final resistance value is

1.8 – 5
Manual
Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac
Generator

indicated (with high−voltage machines, this process may take up to 1


minute).
The limit values for minimum insulation resistance and critical
insulation resistance (for measurement at a winding temperature of
25°C) and for measuring voltage can be derived from the following table
depending on the rated voltage for the machine.

us

Dry new windings have insulation resistance values between 100 MΩ


and 2000 MΩ or higher. If the insulation resistance value is in the region
al

of the minimum value, humidity or dirt could be the cause. If the


insulation resistance value falls below this minimum figure, the cause
rn

must be established and the winding dried.


In case of drying by warm air oven:
te

−Remove bearing housings


In

−Remove rotor
−Remove diode varistor in excitation equipment part
The heat should be applied slowly so the desired temperature will not
be obtained in less than six hours. Insulation resistance should be
measured before the heat is applied, and every six to eight hours
thereafter.
The insulation resistance for clean windings is largely dependent on
temperature: for each 10K rise in temperature it falls by half, i.e. with
a temperature rise of 50K (e.g. from 25°C to 75°C) it falls to about 1/30
of the initial value. During operation the insulation resistance of the
windings may decrease as result of environmental and operating
conditions.
The critical value of the insulation resistance at a winding temperature
of 25°C can be calculated depending on the rated voltage by multiplying
the latter (kV) by the specific critical resistance value in the table
(MΩ/kV).
For example: critical resistance for rated voltage

1.8 – 6
Manual
Generator Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

400 V: 0.4 kV x 0.5 MΩ/kV = 0.2 MΩ


If the measured insulation resistance value is above the calculated
critical figure during operation, the machine can still operate further.
When the measured value reaches or falls below this critical insulation
resistance figure, however, the windings must either be dried, or the
rotor must be removed and the windings thoroughly cleaned and dried.
Insulation drying temperature is 118°C (isolation level of class F).
Insulated units should be baked at 70% specified temperature (to avoid
steam inside winding) for about six hours, before temperature is raised
to drying temperature.
If the measured value approaches the critical value, the resistance
should subsequently be checked at appropriate short intervals.
Insulation resistance measurements on low−voltage machines with a

ly
measuring voltage of 1000 V are only permissible if the insulation
resistance has previously been measured with a measuring voltage of a

1.8.3.5.1. Ball bearings

Bearings must be regreased in accordance with regreasing interval


stated on the generator plate, but at least once a year. For regreasing,
clean the lubricating nipple and press in the grease quantity indicated
on a data plate, using a grease gun. Where possible, apply grease when
the generator is running.
If a different type of grease is required, this is indicated on the data
plate, provided that the particular operating conditions were given in

Note! A common mistake is over−lubrication of bearings. When grease is


added without removing the drain plug, the excess grease must go
somewhere and usually it is forced into and through the inner
bearing cap and is then thrown into the windings. Proper lubrication
is desired, but some under−lubrication is less dangerous than
over−lubrication.

Do not mix grease of different soapbases. When changing the type of


grease, clean the bearing beforehand using a brush with solvent.

− Clip−On (Clampmeter)
− Kelvin Bridge−low resistance meter

Warning! It is essential that all instruments be regularly checked for safety,

– Check the exiter stator resistance

Check the resistance value of the exciter stator across these two leads
with a Multimeter. Refer to the generator manual for correct values.

– Check the generator output voltage

Using a Multimeter, test the output voltage across the main terminals,
phase to phase and phase to neutral.
If the output voltage from the main stator is within 10% of the nominal,
or higher than the nominal, and balanced across phases, this indicates
that the main stator, the, main rotor, exciter stator, exciter rotor, and
main rectifier diodes, are all functioning correctly.
Proceed directly to Test of AVR, refer to the generator manual.
If the output is unbalanced phase to phase, or more than 10% below the
nominal, this indicates that a fault exists in one of the above
components, and the following tests must be conducted.

1.8 – 14
Manual
Generator Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

– Check the main stator winding

The voltages between phases and each phase to neutral, should be


balanced to within 1% of the nominal voltage.
If the voltage is unbalanced by more than 1%, this indicates that a fault
exists with the main stator windings.
This test should be repeated with all external connections removed from
the generator terminals, to eliminate the possibility of external shorts
in the output cables or the circuit breaker.
Further tests may be made on the resistance values of the main stator
windings with a Kelvin Bridge resistance test meter (refer to the
generator manual for main stator winding resistance values).

– Testing the Rotating Rectifier Assembly

The diodes on the rectifier assembly can be checked with a multimeter.


e
The leads connected to each diode should be disconnected at the
terminal end, and the forward and reverse resistance checked. The
us

forward resistance is being measured when the positive meter lead


connected to forward side of the diode (+). The reverse resistance is
being measured when the meter leads have been reversed.
al

An electronic digital instrument will read true electron flow, hence the
resistance polarity readings will be reverse to conventional current flow,
rn

i.e. forward and reverse readings will be reversed.


A Digital Multimeter usually has a semiconductor test scale on the
te

selector switch, marked with diode symbol. This measures true electron
flow, and will give a forward, (indication reading only), or reverse (no
In

reading) indication.
Using an analogue meter on resistance scale, the forward resistance
varies considerably, depending on the internal impedance of the
Multimeter, and the diode type.
A typical reading would be between 20 and 100 ohms.
The reverse resistance must be very much higher, usually in excess of
100k ohms, (100,000 Ω).
A faulty diode will give a reading in both forward and reverse directions
(short circuit) or no reading in either direction (open circuit).

Note! If one or more diodes are found to be faulty, always change the
complete set of diodes (rectifier).

When fitting the diodes to the places they must be tight enough to
ensure a good mechanical and electrical contact, but should not be over
tightened.

– Testing the Surge Suppressor (Varistor)

The Surge Suppressor (Varistor) is a protection device, which prevents


high voltage transients from damaging the main rectifier diodes.
High Voltage transients are created by fault conditions in the
distribution system. The Voltage transient returns back to the
Generator output terminals, enters the main stator windings and by
mutual inductance, is transferred to the main rotor windings and the
main rectifier assembly.
The Surge Suppressor can be tested with a Multimeter on Megohms
(MΩ) range.
A good Surge Suppressor should have a very high resistance, (more than
100 MΩ in either direction).

ly
A faulty Surge Suppressor will be either open circuit (usually showing

on
signs of burning) or short circuit in both directions.
The Main Rectifier will work normally with this device removed.
However, it should be replaced as soon as possible, to avoid diode failure
in the event of further transient fault conditions.
e
Occasionally, a very high transient may totally destroy the Surge
us

Suppressor. This would result from extreme fault conditions or out of


phase synchronisation of the Generator, when paralleled to multiple
Generator systems.
al

Note!
rn

In the event of a Surge Suppressor failure, all rectifier diodes should


be replaced, including any which appear to test OK.

Operation

2.3.1. General

Before an operator takes an engine a first time in operation he should


be acquainted with the location and function of the components of the
installation.
It is desirable, in case of new installations or those which have been out
of service for some time, before starting, that the operator tests all fuel,
lubricating oil, water and air lines, to see they are tight and functional.
Air should be purged from liquid systems through vents at the highest
point while filling or circulating the liquid.

ly
The engine should be cranked a few revolutions to ensure there are no
restrictions. After all necessary preparations have been made prior to

on
starting, the engine should run at idle speed recommended in the main
data, see chapter 1.0. The engine speed should be increased gradually
while observing pressures and temperatures to make sure all parts are
e
working properly.
us

Wärtsilä Corporation issues instructions for each engine and such


instructions are the result of wide experience. To secure the utmost in
reliability and efficiency these instructions should be read, understood,
and followed.
al

All well−managed installations maintain engine log sheets. The logs


rn

should have provision for recording the starting and stopping time of
each engine, the loads, pressures and temperatures. These logs are
te

usually based on a 24−hours operating period and provide space for


each of the shift engineers. Well maintained logs will provide an
In

invaluable record of the performance of the engines and all


maintenance made or needed.

2.3.2. Start

2.3.2.1. Preheating

In a stand−by preheated mode the engine is ready to accept load


instantly.
Stand−by preheated mode of the engine means:
Fuel must be of the correct viscosity in the internal engine system.
HT cooling water must be preheated as near as possible to the

ly
operating temperature or at least to a temperature of minimum 60
°C by means of an external preheating system. Preheating water

Lubricating oil temperature minimum 40 °C.

2.3.2.2. Preparations before the start


e
us

Before a trial run and after maintenance/repairs or a prolonged stop, the


engine and system should be thoroughly inspected and prepared for
al

operation.

2.3.2.3. Generator preparation


Humidity is the enemy of insulation and although modern insulations
do not absorb water to the extent of some older types, humidity on the
insulation surface can lead to loss of insulation resistance.
When air is cooled down it can become saturated leading to the
formation of dew. This could happen when the ambient temperature
drops or when warm humid air is cooled down in a cold generator. To
avoid these effects, the generators are fitted with heaters to raise the
windings temperature a few degrees above the ambient temperature.
The heaters should be switched on whenever the genset is stopped and
off when the genset is started.
It is recommended to make an insulation test whenever it could be

ly
suspected that the insulation resistance is below the limit values. For
further instructions, see chapter 10 and manufacturers manuals.

Warning!

The more extensive the overhaul, the more carefully the operator has
to be during the start−up procedure.

General
1 After any kind of maintenance the operator should be fully
informed regarding the results of the maintenance to be able to operate
the engine accordingly.
2 Full attention should be paid to the cleaning of pipe systems
between filters and engine.

rn

− cooling air flow unobstructed,


− bearings properly lubricated according to type and
supplementary instructions,
te

− rotor revolves freely without touching,


− all fixing screws, fastening devices and electrical connections tight

− earthing and potential−equalizing connections satisfactory.

Test run
After maintenance and/or repair work on engine parts run the engine
at idling speed.
Note! If anything is suspected during the test run procedure, stop the
engine immediately.

1 Start the engine according to the local start procedures as


mentioned in section 2.3.2.4..

2.3.3. Operation

Normal operation and supervision includes all activities to assure a


smooth and trouble free operation of the complete installation against
the lowest costs as well as to guarantee the safety of operators working
at that plant.

Golden rule
Satisfactorily operation of a diesel engine depends mainly on the
quality of the systems supporting the engine.

ly
To guarantee a trouble free and smooth plant operation one should take

on
the following remarks into account:
e
1 There is no automatic supervision or control arrangement that
replaces an experienced engineer observations.
us

It is not only a matter of FEEL, LOOK and LISTEN, but also a correct
interpretation of signals from monitoring devices.
Do not jumper safety devices in case of malfunction but make the safety
al

equipment reliable. In case the malfunction can not locally be solved


contact Wärtsilä Corporation, service department.
rn

2 Keep the engine installation in operation in a way it is designed.


te

3 The operator has to know what normally can be expected of a plant


in operation and ought to have admission to all relevant technical data
In

being part of the installation such as:


– testbed− and commissioning protocols
– manual, parts catalogue and sub−suppliers manuals
– engine log book for each engine etc.
4 The operator must be convinced that the instrument readings are
correct.
The indicated process values must be according to operating data.
5 The operator should, by consequent keeping the engine and/or
installation logs, be in time aware of all changes in engine and
installation processes and be able to take necessary corrective actions.

2.3 – 11
Manual
Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac
Operation

6 Operators involved should have more than marginal


knowledge of on−going processes in engine and installation.
The basic acknowledge to be gained by intensive basic studies, by
long term practical experiences on comparable installations and
studies of relevant manuals available.
7 Safety of operators should, during their stay at the installation, be
guarantied in an optimum way.
Only under safe working conditions of operators a safe running
situation of the installation can be realised. Unsafe locations in
general will be avoided.
Safety of operators includes also the use of adequate clothes and
shoes complemented with helmeted, glasses, gloves and ear
protectors.

ly
Furthermore, safety of operators depends largely on observing of the

on
rules.
8 Sufficient means and "tools" have to be available for optimum
working conditions of the operator and for uninterrupted operation of
engine and installation.

This can be realised when one keeps the following in mind:


The installation is assembled and in operation according to
manufactures prescriptions.

derating of the engine may be required, see section NO TAG
For suction air temperature < −5 oC heating of the suction air and / or
special requirements may be required.

ly
2.3.3.1.2. Restrictions for low load and idling

on
During idling and low load operation, and depending on the fuel quality
e
and combustion, more soot and sludge will be formed than during
us

higher loads. These combustion products will contaminate the internals


of the engine. As a result lubricating oil filters and separator will be
higher loaded during such periods. As well as sticking of piston rings
and valve stems may occur after a stop. Furthermore, combustion prod-
al

ucts, not sufficiently neutralised by the lubricating oil, may cause cor-
rosion. By reloading of the engine the concentration of all kind of com-
rn

bustion products reduces. This is specially important if the engine is to


be stopped.
te

Restrictions for idling:


In

(declutched main engine, unloaded generator):


– Maximum 15 minutes and recommended minimum 10 minutes if
the engine is to be stopped after idling.
– Maximum 6 hours if the engine is to be loaded after idling.
Note! Unnecessary idling should be avoided as much as possible.

Restrictions for low load operation:


Operation between 5...20% load:
– Maximum 100 hours continuous low load operation.
– After every 100 hours low load operation and before stopping, the
engine must be loaded at least till 70% load during 1 hour.

2.3.3.2. Loading performance

The load steps must be controlled to deliver sufficient air for a complete
combustion in the cylinders. Turbocharged engines should be loaded
successively due to the air deficit, which is apparent, until the
turbocharger has reached the required speed. The engine loading

2.3.3.5. Measurement of cylinder pressure

General
The maximum cylinder pressure is measured with a peak pressure
meter connected to the indicator cock on top of the cylinder head.
The obtained pressure can only be used for comparison with pressures
of other cylinders of the engine.
Depending on type of fuel, engine load and rpm, the pressure measured
at the indicator cock differs from the maximum pressure in the cylinder
and can be 5−15 bar higher.

ly
Note! Cylinder pressure measurement at the indicator cock is useful for
individually comparison, however, the value measured is not

on
representative for the real pressure in the combustion space.

More sophisticated instruments can present the cylinder pressure /


e
crank angle diagram showing the start of combustion and angle of
us

maximum pressure. However, the mean indicated pressure and heat


release, as calculated with these data, does in no way represent the
engine performance as measured at the indicator cock.
al
rn

The obtained data should not be used for this purpose as:
– The cylinder pressure indicator is placed at the end of a small bore
te

on top of the cylinder head. In this bore the pressure is developing


steeper giving pressure fluctuations and higher maximum values
In

than in the cylinder space.


– Due to length of the indicator channel the pressure pulse is delayed
giving a wrong time monitoring.

Note! It is not permitted to switch off fuel injection of a cylinder to


measure compression pressure.

Checking cylinder firing pressure


Check cylinder firing pressures. At the same time record engine load,
fuel rack position, turbine speed, charge air pressure and inlet air
temperature. All offer information about the engine performance.
Note! Recording cylinder combustion pressures without
simultaneously recording engine load is practically worthless.

The running−in procedure is mainly intended for piston rings and


liners. For a good running−in it is important to vary the load. Ring
grooves in the piston have different tilting angles at each load and
consequently piston rings have different contact lines to the cylinder
liner walls. Running−in may be performed either on distillate or heavy
fuel, using the lubricating oil specified for the fuel. (Keep BN value in
mind).

adjustment feature. The frequency is adjusted by activating increase
and decrease signals to the built on control system. These signals are
usually controlled by a switch or push buttons mounted in the ships
main switchboard.

2.3.4.2. Rated Frequency


When the generating set is started it will always accelerate to the rated

ly
frequency (50 or 60Hz depending on Auxpac type) regardless of the
frequency before the last shutdown. The frequency/ speed on the

2.3.4.3.
on
generating set can be read from the built on control panel.

Adjusting the frequency


e
Adjusting the frequency is only possible when the generating set is
us

running within the frequency range.


The frequency is adjustable within +/− 5 % of the rated frequency.
When the frequency adjustment is activated, the frequency is either
al

increased or decreased with a rate of 0,1 Hz/s. Adjusting the frequency


when the generating set is stopped is not possible.
rn

2.3.4.4. Frequency drop


te

The Auxpac control system is equipped with a speed droop feature for
parallel running of generating sets. This means that the frequency of
In

the generating set will change according to the loading % of the set. The
speed droop is factory set to 4 %. This means that the frequency of the
generating set will decrease by 4 % when the set is loaded from no load
to full load. The frequency drop of a loaded generating set can be
compensated by using the increase frequency input.
Frequency setting of a generating set connected in parallel with other
generators: see further paragraph.

2.3.5. Voltage setting


Auxpac generators are equipped with a voltage adjustment feature.
The voltage of the generator is controlled by an Automatic Voltage
Regulator ( AVR ) which is installed inside the generator.
The AVR is measuring the generators phase − to − phase voltage and
maintaining it at a pre set level by increasing or decreasing the field
current to the exciter.
The output voltage of the generating set is adjusted by the means of a
reference value setting potentiometer normally installed in the main

2.3 – 21
Manual
Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac
Operation

switchboard in the ship. The reference value setter gives an voltage


adjustment range of +/− 10% of the rated phase−tophase voltage. The
voltage reference will change when the position of the remote reference
setter is changed. This means that turning the reference setter when the
generating set is at standstill will affect the phase−to−phase voltage of
the generating set when it is started.
Voltage setting of a generating set connected in parallel with other
generators: see further paragraph.

2.3.6. Load application


Any change in the load of the generating set creates thermal stresses to

ly
engine components. The components of the engines are designed for
normal load changes occurring onboard a ship. It is therefore important

on
to keep in mind that fast load changes should be limited to a minimum
as far as practically possible.

2.3.6.1. Pre heated generating set


e
us

A generating set should always be preheated before it is started and


loaded. The temperature of the HT cooling water should be kept at
approx 60°C or higher. This temperature allows for the fastest possible
load application to the generating set.
al

2.3.6.2. Cold generating set


rn

If the temperature of the HT cooling water can not be kept at 60°C or


te

higher and the set must be started, special precautions are to be taken.
Load application is such special cases are to be done according to the
In

graph below. It is to be noted that starting the generating set at HT


cooling water temperatures below 40°C is not recommended.

Fig. 2.3 – 7 Load application on a cold generating set

2.3 – 22
Manual
Operation Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

2.3.6.3. Unloading
Fast unloading will also cause thermal stresses. It is therefore
recommended that unloading of the genset is done "softly", i.e. the set
is unloaded from full load to no load in approx 2 mins. It is further
recommended that a generating set is kept idling for a period of 1 min,
after the set has been disconnected from the switchboard, before it is
shut down.

2.3.6.4. Low load operation


The generating set can be started, stopped and operated on heavy fuel
under all operating conditions. Continuous operation on heavy fuel is
preferred rather than changing over to diesel fuel at low load operation.

ly
The following recommendations apply:

on
Absolute idling (zero load)
Maximum 5 minutes (recommended about 1 min for post cooling),
if the engine is to be stopped after the idling.
Operation at < 20 % load on HFO or < 10 % on MDF
e
Maximum 100 hours continuous operation. At intervals of 100
us

operating hours the engine must be loaded to minimum 70 % of the


rated load.
Operation at > 20 % load on HFO or > 10 % on MDF
al

No restrictions.

2.3.6.5. Load sharing


rn
te

2.3.6.5.1. Active power (kW) load−sharing


When two or more generating sets are operating in parallel a method of
In

load sharing is required. Wärtsilä Auxpac generating sets are designed


for a load sharing method based on speed droop.
This means that the internal speed reference of the generating set speed
controllers is decreased proportionally with the load (kW) of the
generating sets. Provided that all generating sets connected to the same
system has an equal amount of speed droop, they will automatically
share load equally and proportionally without the help of any external
system or without any interconnections between the generating sets.
Auxpac generating sets are delivered with a factory set droop of 4%. This
means that without any intervention from an external system the
output frequency of the generating sets will drop with 4% from no load
to full load.

2.3 – 23
Manual
Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac
Operation

ly
Fig. 2.3 – 8 4% speed droop
on
e
us

In order to maintain a stable and constant frequency in the ships power


distribution network, the change in output frequency should be
compensated either manually or by an superior control system in the
al

ship. This is done by changing the speed reference of the generating set
speed controllers by using the "increase speed/decrease speed" inputs
rn

of the generating set control system.


The ideal situation is that all generating sets connected to the system
te

share the load proportionally. In practice a load sharing error of +/−


10% of the rated output of the generating set is acceptable and requires
In

no action from the operator or the superior control system.

2.3.6.5.2. kVAr sharing


When two or more generating sets are operated in parallel a method of
sharing the reactive load (kVAr) must be applied, if not, a slightest
difference in generator voltage between generators connected in
parallel, would lead to an uneven reactive load of the generators.
Auxpac generating sets are designed for a reactive power sharing by
"reactive droop compensation". This means that the generator output
voltage is proportionally either decreasing or increasing with the
reactive load of the generator. An inductive load means decreasing
voltage and a capacitive load means increasing voltage of the generator.
The reactive droop compensation method will ensure that the
generating sets share reactive load equally and proportionally without
any interconnections between the generating sets. A prerequisite for
this is that the no load voltage of the sets are equal and that they have
an equal amount of reactive droop compensation.
The no load voltage can be adjusted from the remote voltage adjustment
potentiometer (usually mounted in the ships main switchboard). The

2.3 – 24
Manual
Operation Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

reactive droop compensation is factory set to 3.5 %.


Since the output voltage is changing with the reactive load of the
generating sets, it is in some cases required to be compensated for. This
is done simply by changing increasing or decreasing the output voltage
of the generating set, by using the remote voltage adjustment
potentiometer.
Since the change in voltage is rather small (−3.5 % from no load to full
load ) it is recommended not to adjust the output voltage repeatedly.
The system can be set up in the following manner:
Normal load of the generating is recorded;
No load voltage is adjusted to a slightly higher value that the
rated voltage so that the voltage under normal load is approximately
rated.

ly
on
Example:
Normal load is 70%
No load voltage is adjusted to Un + ( 70/100 * 3.5% * Un )
e
Where, Un = Nominal voltage
us

In the case above we have a system with a rated voltage of 450 V. The
no load voltage should be adjusted to 450 V + (70/100 * 3.5% * 450 V )
= 461 V.
al

This method ensures that the system voltage is at its rated level when
the generating set is operated at the normal load, i.e. the largest share
rn

of the operation time.

In

A torsional vibration analysis is made for each installation and all

With misfire conditions we mean: no combustion in one cylinder, only
compression and expansion. This can occur due to for instance a defect
HP fuel pump. In case there is also no compression and expansion,
Wärtsilä Corporation has to be consulted.
Eventual restrictions, from point of view of torsional vibration
behaviour, mentioned in a torsional vibration analysis report, have to
be obeyed. Otherwise, especially in emergency operation −one cylinder
unit out of operation− critical components as torsional vibration
damper, crankshaft, torsional elastic coupling, gearwheel, propeller
shaft etcetera, are subjected to not allowable torsional vibration loads.

Note! Engine operation, with one cylinder misfiring, is only allowed in


case restrictions, mentioned in a report concerning torsional
vibration behaviour of this particular installation, are observed!

PARTS CATALOGUE.
4 During all maintenance work, observe the utmost cleanliness and order.
In

5 Be aware of the risk of crankcase or camshaft case explosion!


Before performing any maintenance or inspection jobs on the engine,
always allow the engine to cool down sufficiently. A 10 minute cooling
period will do after a normal stop.
6 Observe the fire precautions when maintenance jobs or cleaning on
the engine will be done.
7 Always replace locking washers, copper rings, split pins, locking
wires, self locking nuts and O-rings during assembling. In case copper
rings have to be used a second time, please take care of proper annealing.
8 In general never leave O-rings mounted on spares. Store O-rings
in a dry, cool and dark place.
9 Never carry out electric welding to the engine nor use the engine as
conductor for welding.
In addition the following precaution must be taken before welding in
the vicinity of a WECS control system; Deactivate the system by
disconnecting all external connectors and all the connectors of the unit.
If necessary protect harness, cables, sensors and other equipment from
sparkles with a proper metal sheet.

replaced if necessary.
te

5 In general, all piping should be carefully cleaned before installing.


In

Fuel, lubricating oil and air lines should be acid cleaned and
neutralized. Also after heating of pipe sections iron oxidation has to be
removed by pickling (acid cleaning).
6 Fit all piping stress free.

Last check
1 It is important no tools, parts or other foreign matters have been
left in or on the engine and all parts have been thoroughly cleaned
before closing the engine.
2 Due to the compression ability of some gasket material the
prestress of some flange connections should be checked after 24 hours
of operation.
3 Record engine parts renewed.
4 Record engine running hours.

2.4.1.2. Maintenance schedule

The total running hours between overhauls as well as the effective life
time of components depend generally on the following aspects:
- The operation and maintenance of the engine should be in
accordance with instructions as specified in the engine
documentation.
- The intervals stated in the maintenance schedule are guidance
values only, but must not be exceeded during the guarantee period.
- Everyone concerned with the maintenance of the engine should be
trained and qualified for the job and should have the engine

ly
documentation available.

on
- To ensure the efficiency, reliability and lifetime of the engine and its
components, only genuine spare parts should be used.
- The load of the engine should be between 60% and 100% of the
e
output, indicated on the engine type plate, making 3,000 to 6,000
us

running hours annually.


- The build on sub-suppliers components should be maintained
according the sub-suppliers manufacturers instructions.
al

- Quality and treatment of lubricating oil, fuel, cooling water and air
should be on accordance with the rules.
rn

Deviation from the above factors may result in adapting the running
hours between overhauls and/or effective life time of the components.

2.4.1.2.1. Procedure for inspection and maintenance

Inspection
- If, for example, two valve rotators have to be replaced inspect also
two rotators of an other cylinder unit. If the result of this second
inspection is also negative replace all valve rotators.
- The results of the first 4,000 hours inspection are aimed to establish
the further service intervals.

2.4.2. Maintenance Tools

Maintenance of a diesel engine requires a number of special tools


developed in the course of engine design. Some of these tools are
supplied with the engine and others are available through our service
stations or for direct purchase by the customer.
Tool requirements for a particular installation may vary greatly
depending on the use and service area. Special tools are therefore
selected to meet basic requirements.
This section shows a selection of tools for the engine.
These tools are not all described in the related sections.

ly
The tools are grouped in order to facilitate selection for specific service

on
operations.
Miscellaneous tools, as mentioned in section 2.4.2.1., are used in various
chapters.
e
Tools for instance needed for cylinder head are grouped in section
us

2.4.2.7. The chapter mentioned between brackets refers to the chapter


where these tools are used.

2.4.3. Background information of hydraulic


tools and torque spanners

A number of important engine components are fitted by means of


hydraulic tools. With the use of hydraulic tools is it possible to stress a
bold or stud of a connection till very high tension. This tightening
process can be done within very small tension limits and a great force
and accuracy.
It is necessary to understand the working principle of the hydraulic
tools. For this reason an explanation of the principle is given.

ly
For safety reasons it is important the tools are used in the correct way.

on
The tightening procedures have to be carried out strictly in accordance
with the instructions in this manual.
For the following subjects general background information is described:
e
us

”Rolled thread”
The thread of the studs of important connections is manufactured by a
"cold rolled" process to make the stud thread strong and good resistant
al

against fatigue. Due to this process the circumference of the thread


becomes smooth and hard. This process make studs also sensitive to
rn

breakage in case of damage. Therefore, studs must always carefully be


handled. Replace a stud when damaged.
te

The ”easy going” nut


In

The stud becomes a little bit longer over its entire length during
elongation. This includes that also the pitch of the thread is a little
extended. However, the pitch of the nut mounted is not extended. To
make it possible to turn the nut on the elongated stud "quite some
clearance" must exist between the thread of the nut and the thread of
the stud. This clearance can be felt when turning on the nut. For this
reason it must be possible, without any restriction, to turn on a nut by
hand.
In case of "heavy points" remove the nut and find and solve the problem
before starting the tightening procedure.

Studs
All hydraulically stretched studs are made of high tensile strength steel.
To obtain the correct force in the studs, the studs have to be stretched
to approximately 90% of the yield point of the material.
This means, a force 10% more than the tightening force does overstretch
the stud. This may never happen because over- stretched studs
becomes sensitive to fatigue and may break after some time.

2.4 – 73
Manual
Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac
Maintenance

Therefore, overstretched studs should be replaced. This is particular


important for connecting rod studs and counter weight studs.

Use genuine parts


There is a real danger in employing studs not delivered by Wärtsilä
Corporation in particular studs hydraulically stretched.
If these studs are not made from the same high tensile strength material and
not provided with "cold rolled thread", problems may occur. Studs, made of
material not sufficient strong, will continue to elongate even if the correct
oil pressure is applied. The nuts can be turned further until breaking.

ly
Use of locking fluids

on
Clean parts carefully with a degreasing agent and dry parts before
applying locking fluid.

Note! See for specification relevant drawing / parts list (Parts Cata-

ć A filter / water separator (12).
ć A lubricator (13).
ć A reducing valve (6) to adjust the service air between 0 and 6 bar.
ć A manometer (5) direct mounted after the service air reducing valve.
ć An air valve (4) to control the pump speed.
ć An air-operated piston (3) (large surface) connected to a piston in
the lower section (small surface) for pressurizing the hydraulic oil.
ć A container (1) for hydraulic oil (circa 5 litres).
ć A double pointer manometer (8) indicating the hydraulic jack pressure.
ć A quick-release couplings with non return valve (10).
ć A valve (9) in the H.P. oil return line.

2.4 – 74
Manual
Maintenance Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

The manometer (5) is connected to the air pressure line after the
reducing valve (6). The manometer scale indicates a comparable oil
pressure from 0 to 1000 bar. 6 Bar service air pressure is equivalent to
1000 bar "oil pressure" on the manometer scale. The manometer (5)
makes it possible to set the required H.P. oil pressure before pumping.
To prevent, due to inaccuracy of this manometer, that the final obtained
oil pressure will ends higher than the required pressure, manometer (5)
indicates 10% higher.
A manometer (8) indicates the pressure in the H.P. hydraulic system.
This calibrated manometer contains two independently working
measuring mechanisms, each provided with a scale and pointer.
Recalibrating of this manometer is necessary when the indication of

ly
both pointers differs more then 10 bar.
Check the double pointer pressure gauge (8) regularly. For this purpose

on
a calibrated pressure gauge can be delivered. This pressure gauge can
be connected at the end of the H.P. hose.

Operating
Always keep the pump unit horizontally. Maintain sufficiently
hydraulic oil in the container to avoid air in the system and check if
valve (14) is open.
During filling of the H.P. pump container, it is recommended to connect
the set according to Fig. 2.4 ć 2 . Before filling, open the release valve (9)
and empty the jack (15) by pressing piston and cylinder simultaneously.
Next, the container can be filled through the filling plug (2). (For
specification of the hydraulic oil, see chapter 1.2.).
1 Close valves (4) and (9), see fig 2.4 ć 1 and fig. 2.4 ć 2 .
2 Connect at (10) the H.P. hose (11) to the hydraulic jacks (15).
3 Connect the service air at (7).

ly
4 After adjusting the "air pressure" at the value of the required oil

on
pressure, start the pump by opening air valve (4). The hydraulic system
will be pressurized, visible on manometer (8). At a value of approx. 10%
below the adjusted value, the pump will stop.
e
5 Slowly turn the spindle of the reducing valve (6) counter clockwise,
by which the hydraulic oil pressure will increase.
us

6 Continue pumping until the reading on the manometer of the


hydraulic system (8) shows the required oil pressure. The manometer
al

in the air system will now show a pressure of circa 10 % higher.


7 After the correct oil pressure has been reached, push down the locking
rn

ring over the reducing valve spindle to fix the setting of the reducing valve.
Every time the pump is operated, the pressure will rise automatically and
te

accurately till the fixed pump setting (accuracy " 5 bar). When the hydraulic
stretching procedure is completed close valve (4) and always open slowly
In

valve (9). Quick opening of valve (4) may damage the hydraulic pressure
manometer.

Remark
When the required pressure is reached and the pump continues slowly
working, the hydraulic system is leaking, e.g. a leaking coupling or a
leaking hydraulic jack.
When the hydraulic system contains air, disconnect the coupling at (10).
Press the small valve in the coupling by means of a pin and run the pump
slowly. Let oil escape as long as it contains air.

Warning! Always check the correct connecting of hose couplings to pump


unit and jacks special when more jacks are connected at the time.
An incorrectly made connection may cause the jack is not
connected and the jack in question not pressurized although the
manometer indicates the correct pressure.

2.4.3.2. Hydraulic jack


al
rn

A hydraulic jack, see fig. 2.4 ć 3 for an example, consists basically of a


housing (3) and a piston (1) which is accommodated in a recess in the
top of the housing. The piston is sealed at the top and the bottom with
te

Oćrings, (7) and (8).


In

The space between the O-rings can be filled with oil under pressure via
connection (13). The enclosed area of the piston multiplied by the
applied oil pressure results in the stretching force in the pulling piece
and stud. The stud shall, as a consequence of the applied force, be
lengthened. Every time when the same force (oil pressure) is applied,
the same lengthening of the stud will be realised. To exert the required
force in the stud, only a limited lengthening of the stud is required, a few
mm only. The stroke of the jack shown is 9 mm, which can differ with
the type of jack, and is sufficient for the stud elongation.
After the nut is fastened or loosened and the oil pressure is released, the
stretching process can be repeated.
After the oil pressure is released it takes some time, for the springs (12)
on top of the piston, to force the piston back into bottom position as
friction exists in the returning of the hydraulic oil to the sump of the
hydraulic pump in the small oil drillings in the jack, in the valves in the
quick release couplings and the relative large quantity of oil to return
to the pump.
If no time is given to displace the oil and to lower the piston till bottom
position, for instance by too quickly disconnecting the hoses from the

2.4 – 77
Manual
Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac
Maintenance

jack, the piston will stop a few mm from bottom. If this method of
stretching is repeated the piston finally has no working stroke left and
in the next stroke a situation arises in which the retaining cover (4) is
breaking the bolts (11). The retaining cover is not kept in place and will
be stopped by two bolts (10).
To avoid this situation the returning of the piston into bottom position
can be realized by waiting, or by using a spanner on top of the jack when
mounted on a stud.
The piston is in bottom position when the top face of the jack is level
with the top face of the retaining ring.

2.4.3.7. Safety instructions for hydraulic tools


te
In

The following general instructions and guides will be helpful to


determine if your system components are properly connected.

1 Be sure all hydraulic hoses and fittings are connected to the correct
inlet and outlet ports of the pump, cylinders, valves and other system
components. An incorrectly made connection may cause a not
connected jack in question and not pressurized although the
manometer indicates the correct pressure.
2 Be sure all threaded connections are fully tightened and free of
leakage. Seal threaded connections with a high-grade thread sealer.
Do not over-tighten any connection.
3 Excessive tightening will cause strain on threads and castings
which could cause fitting failure at pressures below rated capacity.
4 Fully tighten hydraulic connectors (avoid excessive force). Loose
connectors will act as a partial or complete line restriction causing little
or no oil flow and resulting in equipment damage or failure.
5 If the maximum stroke is exceeded the sealing sets of the piston will be
damaged. Pressurized oil will escape and the pressure drops to zero. If this

2.4 – 82
Manual
Maintenance Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

has happens the jack has to be disassembled, the sealings inspected and
if damaged, replaced by new.
6 Do not drop heavy objects on hydraulic hoses. A sharp impact may
cause bends or breaks to internal hose wire strands. Applying pressure
to the damaged hose will cause internal flexing which will eventually
break the hose strands causing the hose to rupture.
7 Do not use the hydraulic hose to carry a hydraulic component (i.e.
pumps, cylinders and valves).
8 Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses. If
pressure is applied to a bend or kinked hose, the oil flow will be
restricted causing severe back-pressure. Also the sharp bend and kinks
will internally damage the hose leading to premature failure.

ly
9 Avoid situations where loads are not directly centered on the

on
cylinder plunger. Off-center loads produce considerable strain on
cylinder plungers and may slip or fail causing potentially dangerous
results. Avoid point loading. Distribute the load evenly across the entire
saddle surface.
e
10 Always provide clearance for hoses and connectors to avoid moving
us

objects, abrasion or sharp objects.


11 Use hydraulic pressure gauges with safe operating ranges in the
hydraulic system. Do not exceed the safe limit of the lowest rated
al

component used within your system.


rn

12 Keep hydraulic equipment away from flames and heat. Excessive


heat (above 70°C) will soften packings and seals, resulting in fluid leaks.
te

13 Never attempt to lift a load which exceeds the capacity of a cylinder


or jack. Overloading causes equipment failure and possible personal
In

injury.
14 Do not overextend the hydraulic jack. The cylinder will take the
load on the plunger stop ring. However, using the full stroke does not
supply power and only adds unnecessary strain to the cylinder.
15 Keep oil lines clean. When connector halves are disconnected,
always put on dust caps. Use every precaution to guard unit against
entrance of dirt because dirt and foreign matters may cause pump,
cylinder and valve failures.

2.4.3.8. Loosening of hydraulically


tightened connection

Note! Loosening pressure = tightening pressure.

2.4 – 83
Manual
Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac
Maintenance

To loosen a connection the same oil pressure, or somewhat lower than the
final pressure with which the connection has been tightened, is required.

Prevent overstretching
To prevent overstretching, the hydraulic pressure applied to the studs should
never exceed the tightening pressure plus 5%. Furthermore, operate the
pneumatic driven hydraulic pump according the instructions.
There is no reason to apply a higher pressure than the tightening
pressure. When studs have been tightened to the setting value, the
prestress in the studs may decrease slightly during running of the
engine as a result of the forces incurred in the engine components.
Therefore, the oil pressure in the hydraulic jacks, required for

ly
disassembly will be the same or somewhat lower than the tightening
pressure.

on
If one or more nuts can't be loosened at setting value check with a feeler
gauge of 0.05 mm if the nut is free from the contact surface. If the nut
is free and it is still not possible to turn the nut, the nut is sticking due
e
to dirt, corrosion or damage. In such case try to turn the nut using a
us

copper pin and a hammer.


If still not successful don't increase the oil pressure because it serves no
purpose. Applying a too high oil pressure introduces the risk of
al

damaging the thread in the engine component in which the stud is


mounted.
rn

If the nut is not free


te

1 Check if the oil supply and pressure to all the jacks is correct.
2 Check the quick-release couplings and the non return valves.
In

3 Check if the nut is free from the tools.


4 Increase the oil pressure by maximum 5%.

If the nut can still not be loosened the connection has previously been
tightened with a too high oil pressure, possible resulting in an
overstretched stud. In this case increase the oil pressure till final setting
value + 10%. More than 10% is not allowed as other construction parts
can be damaged.
If, at 10% overpressure, the nut is still tight, remove the tools, cut off the
nut and remove the stud. Fit a new stud and nut.
Make sure no iron parts enter the engine.
Note! If e.g. one cylinder head nut has to be cut leave the other three nuts
tightened to prevent damage to cylinder head and liner.

If, due to any cause, doubt exists regarding the stress in


hydraulically tensioned studs the loosening value must be found.

2.4 – 84
Manual
Maintenance Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

5 Increase the oil pressure in the hydraulic jacks in steps e.g. of 50 bar.
6 Check after each step whether the nuts can be turned.

reason.

2.4.3.10. Use of torque spanner

Modern technology requires more and more the fastening of screwed


connections every time at the same prestress within certain tolerances.
Human forces exerted on spanners are not sufficient accurate to obtain
the required result c.q. the fastening torque. To make this possible the
application of a torque spanner becomes a must.
To apply a torque spanner the following must be known to avoid
mistakes resulting in unsafe connections.
ć A torque spanner is a precision instrument that should be handled

ly
with utmost care. Every time the torque spanner is used the spring

on
tension of the spanner should be released before restoring the
spanner in its box.
ć The spanner should be kept clean, not dropped and not drenched
e
with water or dirty oil.
us

ć The spanner is calibrated between 20% and 100% of its scale and has
a tolerance within 4% of its reading. Take care the spanner is
periodically recalibrated.
al

ć Calibrate the torque spanner every time in the horizontal or vertical


plane to compensate for the spanner weight.
rn

ć Never use the spanner over the 100% scale. Distortion may exist and
readings may become inaccurate.
te

ć Always apply force on the torque spanner in a clockwise rotation, the


direction shown on the spanner and only apply the exerted force in
In

the centre of the knurled handle. The spanner clicks and gives a few
degrees of free movement when the desired torque is reached. When
you completely release the force, the spanner automatically resets
for the next torque application.
ć Never use a torque spanner to release connections.
ć A high degree of torque accuracy can be obtained in the application
of the correct lubricant on the thread of the connection. Where the
contrary is not mentioned only use engine lubricating oil.
ć Support the tool well during tightening.
The tightening torques are torque spanner readings and should be
realised by an even tightening of bolt and nut. (if applicable,
crosswise).
ć Always apply force on a torque spanner in a slow onćgoing move not
passing the required setting. Using the spanner in a fast move will
easily do pass the required setting.
ć The rachet requires periodic cleaning and lubrication to ensure
proper operation. Lubricate with a light oil. DO NOT USE GREASE.

piece.

Example:
Required torque = 200 Nm.
Length of the torque spanner 500 mm.
Length of the extension piece 76.2 mm.

Part, measuring point

Bearings
The engine bearings consist of a steel shell onto which a very tiny bonding of al-
most pure Aluminium. On this bonding is a running layer of Aluminium alloy.
It concerns bearings for:
– crankshaft
– connecting rod big end
– camshaft

ly
A bearing is suitable for use as long as:

on
– the shell thickness is expected to stay within the given tolerances, until the
next inspection, (see this chapter).
– the inside diameter is within the given tolerances, until the next inspection,
e
(see this chapter).
us

– the bearing shell is free of damage.


– the bearing shell is free of corrosion.
– the wear pattern is equal.
– the running layer is not overloaded. An overloaded bearing shell can be
al

recognized by locally melted or smeared lining.


rn

Restriction for refitting of bearings.


Refitting is only allowed one time if the number of running hours is not more
te

than 5000 hrs. even if the bearing is within the mentioned criteria.
In

New bearings are treated with a corrosion protection that has to be removed be-
fore mounting.
Where bearings show heavy wear grooves in the running layer, the quality of the
lubricating oil cleaning process should be observed more carefully.

Note! For determination of wear, engine components and measuring


equipment should for some hours first be acclimated at room
temperature ( 20 _C).

2.5.1. Engine block


The engine block is a one piece stiff nodular cast iron component. The
engine block carries the underslung crankshaft. The nodular cast iron
main bearing caps (1) are tightened by two vertically main bearing cap
studs (2) and two horizontally side studs (3). Together they provide a
very rigid crankshaft bearing construction. These studs are tightened
by hydraulic tools.
The camshaft bearing housings (4) are incorporated in the engine block.
The lubricating oil sump is mounted under the engine block and sealed
by a rubber string gasket. A number of crankcase covers are equipped

ly
with explosion relief valves.

2.5.2. Main bearings

Main bearing shells are axially guided by lugs to obtain a correct


position during assembly. The crankshaft axial locating bearing,
number ’0’, differs from the other bearings and is provided with thrust
rings to limit the axial displacement of the crankshaft.
Bearing shells are of a bi−metal type. All main bearing caps are
provided with a temperature sensor. If abnormal temperatures appear
the suspected bearing, crankshaft deflections and the alignment have

ly
to be checked.

Note!
on
In order to avoid bearing and crankshaft damages the bearing caps
have to be mounted always in the same position. It is essential to
follow the sequence described in this chapter of the manual .

2.5.4. Camshaft bearings

The camshaft bearing bushes (3) and the axial bearing bushes (1) at the
driving end are shrunk in bearing housings in the engine block.
Camshaft bearing bushes are of the bi–metal type. The axial bearing
bushes are made of bronze. The bearing bushes can be inspected and
measured after removing camshaft section (4) and journal (5).
The camshaft is in axial direction hold in position by an axial bearing
(1) consisting of two axial bearing bushes with collar. The groove in

ly
between the axial bearing bushes is used for conducting lube oil into the
camshaft for further distribution.

2.5.6. Crankcase safety valves

Crankcase explosions result from ignition of a combustible mixture of


lubricating oil or gas and air. Combustion pressure, which develops
following ignition within the confined space, frequently exceeds the
strength of the crankcase housing or covers, causing destructive failure.
The ignition source may be gas blow–by or an overheated engine part.
Any part moving relative to another potentially can become excessively
hot through friction to initiate combustion if not lubricated or cooled
properly. All bearings, bushing, thrust surfaces, pistons, etc. as well as

ly
the surfaces these parts touch, are included. Broken piston or rings that

on
allow fire in the combustion chamber to blow through to the crankcase
is also a source of crankcase ignition.
Operators must recognize that all engine/compressors have the
e
potential to develop hot spots capable of igniting crankcase vapours and
producing a crankcase explosion. The potential can be reduced or safely
us

contained by attention to good maintenance practices.

Engine stop / cool down period


al

If a crankcase explosion occurs, allow the equipment to cool down at


rn

least 15 minutes before attempting to open any crankcase cover doors.


The heat inside the crankcase will promote an inrush of fresh air when
te

cover doors are removed and hot spots remaining from the explosion
may cause a violent secondary explosion.
In

If smoke is observed coming from crankcase vents ore breathers, safely


shut down the equipment and vacate the area.
Smoke from vents or breathers (especially white smoke) is an indication
that a hot spot is vaporizing lubricating oil and is often observed as a
precursor to a crankcase explosion.
A sudden increase in crankcase pressure is an indication of gas blow–by
probably caused by broken piston rings indicates an increased risk of a
crankcase explosion.

Working
A corrugated plate valve (1), see fig. 2.5 – 17 , is by a conical shaped
spring (2) forced on an O–ring seat (3) closing the crankcase to the
outside. In case of an excessive overpressure (explosion) the plate valve
is forced into open position allowing gasses to escape through a number
of baffle plates (4). The baffle plates extinguish the flames. The conical
shape spring closes the plate valve and avoids the entering of fresh air.

2.5 – 25
Manual
Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac
Engine Block with Bearings

Maintenance
1 Periodically open the plate valve manually over the full stroke and
check plate valve returns to its seat without hamper, see section 2.4.1.
2 Check conical spring on spring force. Renew oxidised springs.
3 Periodically renew all O–rings, see chapter 2.4.1..
4 Check by feeler gauge if plate valve is resting on the O–ring and not
on the steel O–ring housing.
5 After O–ring renewal move plate valve manually over the full
stroke, see point 1.

2.6.1. Crankshaft
The crankshaft design features a very short cylinder distance with a
maximum bearing length resulting in a short engine. The crankshaft is
forged from one piece of high tensile steel.
Counterweights are mounted hydraulically onto the crankshaft webs. The
high degree of balancing results in an even and thick oil film for all bearings.
Main bearings and crankshaft bearings are of the bimetal type with a steel
back and a soft running layer with excellent corrosion resistance. The gear
wheel on the crankshaft is mounted by a flange connection.
The crankshaft is provided with a torsional vibration damper at the free

ly
end of the engine.

Note! on
For maintenance background information, safety aspects,
intervals, tolerances, inspections, and hydraulic tightening
e
procedures, see chapter 2.4.

2.6.1.1. Crankshaft deflections


al
rn

Take crankshaft deflection readings only when engine and foundation


are at ambient temperature (cold engine) or at normal operating
te

temperature (hot engine), which means within 40 minutes after


running the engine for more than 6 hours on at least 60% load.
In

All measurements have to be recorded on Crankshaft alignment"


measurement record supplied by Wärtsilä. The document has to be
filled in completely,

Note! Before taking crankshaft deflections on an hot engine, the dial


gauge should be warmed up to the same temperature of the engine
in order to avoid temperature influence on the readings. For
instance the dial gauge could be warmed up by placing it on the
engine feet for a while (15 minutes).

1 Lubricate the bearings for a few minutes by running the


pre–lubricating pump.
2 Remove crankcase covers at both sides.
3 To take crankshaft deflection readings first install dummy
counterweight 9612ZT856 onto the free crankweb.

2.6.2.4. Inspection and maintenance of piston


and connecting rod

When removing carbon deposits from the piston and piston ring
grooves, special care should be taken not to damage the piston material.

Note! Never use emery cloth on the piston skirt.

For cleaning of carbon deposits from the piston crown it is advised to use
kerosene, fuel oil or a carbon solvent. Do not use chemical cleaning
agents for cleaning of the piston skirt as such agents may damage the
phosphate / graphite overlay.

ly
Piston rings should not definitely be replaced during a piston inspection

on
as long as the rings are not damaged, not taken from the piston and the
cylinder liner surface is in a good condition.
When piston maintenance is carried out according the maintenance
e
schedule the piston rings have to be renewed.

2.6.3. Vibration damper crankshaft

The vibration damper serves to reduce the torsional vibration in the


crankshaft. The damper consists of a housing and a free rotating inertia
ring supported by an axial and radial bearing. It forms a totally enclosed
unit. The free space between inertia ring and damper housing is filled
with a high viscosity fluid. The combustion pressure, exerted on the
pistons, causes a torsional vibration in the crankshaft. The energy
caused by the vibration, is converted into heat and cooled by engine
lubricating oil at the outside of the vibration damper.

The viscous damper fluid is subject to aging during engine operation. In

2.7.4. Valve rotators

Exhaust and inlet valves are provided with valve rotators devices. These
devices slowly rotate the valves during engine operation. The valve rotation
results in an even wear pattern with a better metallic contact between valve
and valve seat. The rotating of the valves improves the running behavior and
in turn considerably extends the maintenance interval period of the valve.
The valve rotators for inlet and exhaust are similar. In both cases the
valve rotator rotates the valves only during the opening process of the
valves.
During maintenance only use engine oil for lubrication. Don’t grease

ly
the steel balls of the rotator bearings as this may result in a less effective
working of the rotator.

on
Valve rotators should periodically be checked on good working i.e. the
valve rotates slowly during engine operation. Before an overhaul
e
remove cylinder head cover and check rotation of all valves. Check
during each valve maintenance the valve rotator on wear. During
us

maintenance work, keep the rotator components as a set and do not mix
with parts of other sets.

Each cylinder head is provided with an indicator cock (1), see fig. 2.7 – 25 .
The inside construction is such that pressure in the cylinder closes the
valve. Consequently the force needed to close the valve is relatively low.
1 Before starting the engine close the indicator cocks with just
enough force to bring the sealing surfaces together. The cylinder
pressure will further close the cock.
2 After an engine stop open the indicator cocks only half a turn.
3 Avoid inadvertent tightening during measuring cylinder pressures.

ly
4 Add high temperature resistant lubricant (up to 1000°C) to spindle

on
threads when it gives friction.
5 Always use tool 9612SW510 to open and close the indicator cocks
(1), see fig. 2.7 – 25 .

Safety valve
Each cylinder head is provided with a spring loaded safety valve (2). This
valve emits an alarming sound at excessive cylinder pressures. The
blow–off pressure is stamped in top of the valve. If safety valves during
operation are leaking, replace at once. Mount the valve with a high
temperature resistance lubricant.

2.8.1. Camshaft driving gear

The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft through gear wheels. The gearing
consists of a split gear wheel (1) on the crankshaft, an intermediate gear
wheel (2) and a camshaft gear wheel (3), see fig. 2.8 – 1 . The camshaft
rotates in the same direction as the crankshaft at half the speed.

Camshaft and Valve Drive Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

The camshaft is assembled of camshaft sections (4) and camshaft


journals (5) which are connected by bolts (6), see fig. 2.8 – 2 . The
camshaft sections are per camshaft identical.
Each cylinder has its own camshaft section in which is integrated the
fuel, exhaust and inlet cam. The camshaft journals are not identical in
relation to the position of the locating pins (7) on both sides of the
camshaft journal. The position of the locating pins determine the firing
order.
It is therefore that the camshaft journals have to be remounted to their
original position or replaced by a similar camshaft journal.

2.9.2.4. Inspection of fuel pump push rod

The connection between the fuel pump tappet (37) and fuel pump
plunger is made by the fuel pump push rod (15), see fig. 2.9 – 11 .
Due to machining tolerances in components between the fuel pump
tappet and the fuel pump plunger, the push rod lengths vary from one
to another.
During maintenance the push rods should be provided with the cylinder
unit number and not be interchanged. A new push rod should be
machined to the correct length at the smallest end.
Note! Fuel pump push rods are precision ground to the exact length for
each individual pump bracket. Do not interchange these push rods.

ly
For determination of length of fuel pump push rod (15) take care that

on
the tappet roller (16) rests on the base circle. Take the push rod out and
place depth gauge 9612ZT547, see fig. 2.9 – 13 . The depth gauge
reading minus 1 mm gives the exact length of push rod to be installed.
e
If ’X’ is not within tolerance inspect the concerned parts for wear.

Spill fuel (4), passing the injector needle, escapes along the holder and
the connecting piece through a hole in the cylinder head at (4).
Leaking combustion gases, passing the sealing between the sealing
surface in the cylinder head and the injector tip, will escape together
with the spill fuel at (5).
The injector tip is cooled by lubricating oil supplied by the engine

2.9.4.2. Mounting HP fuel pipe

Mounting connecting pipe


on
1 Before mounting check if from the HP fuel pipe (2) and connecting
e
pipe (3) all seating cones ’(A’) as well as all the threads are clean and
us

undamaged. Lubricate all the cones and the threads with e.g. Molycote.
2 Fit a new O−ring (6) with silicon grease in the sealing groove of the
connecting pipe (3).
al

3 Turn the connecting pipe in the injector holder (4) and use socket
spanner 9612ZT255 with torque spanner 9622DT215 to tighten the
rn

connecting pipe at correct torque according section 2.4.4.8.


4 Place locking plate (5), do not tighten the bolts.
te

If necessary first tighten the injector nuts, see section 2.9.3.4.


In

5 Tighten locking plate (5) to the cylinder head.

Mounting HP fuel pipe


6 Set the HP fuel pipe simultaneously into the appropriate position
to the pump and to the connecting piece connection. Turn both sleeve
nuts manually onto the connections.

Note! In order to prevent leakages caused by damaged seating cones,


the connecting pipe (3) and HP fuel pipe (2) must not be rotated with
or against each other. See fig. 2.9 – 21 .

7 Tighten the sleeve nuts using crow foot spanner 9612ZT331 and
torque spanner 9622DT215 till torque setting, mentioned in section
2.4.4.8.

2.9.5. Testing of fuel injectors

Warning! Be careful in testing fuel injectors. Fuel jets are powerful and will
penetrate skin and underlying skin layers and blood. Such an
accident calls for direct specialistic treatment. Should this aid not
be available disinfect affected part of body. However, it remains
necessary to consult a specialist.

2 Connect the injector to the test equipment.


3 Before final tightening of the connecting line between the pump
and the injector fill the connecting line with fuel and vent the air by a
few pump strokes.
4 Tighten the connection.
5 Increase the pump pressure slowly and watch the manometer
pressure on fuel spraying commencement. The opening pressure should
be accurate within 10 bar. For openings pressure see section 2.4.5.1.

Adjusting the opening pressure

2.9 – 28
Manual
Injection System Wärtsilä 26 Auxpac

1 Remove the locking plug (9) with spanner 9650ZT108, see fig.
2.9 – 18 .
2 Follow "Testing the opening pressure".
3 If necessary adjust the opening pressure by turning the adjusting
plug (10) with tool 9612ZT187, see fig. 2.9 – 18 .
4 After adjusting the opening pressure, tighten the locking plug (9)
with tool 9650ZT108 to the correct torque, see section 2.4.4.8.

Checking the spray pattern


1 For protection of manometer close manometer valve.
2 Hold a dry sheet of paper underneath nozzle and give pump a quick

ly
stroke with pump handle.

on
3 Check uniformity of spray pattern.
4 If spray pattern is not symmetrical impurities are obstructing
injector spray holes. Repeat test after cleaning.
e
us

Checking the needle seat tightness


1 Increase the pressure to approximate 20 bar below the injector opening
pressure.
al

2 Keep the pressure for about 10 seconds constant.


rn

3 Check the appearance of fuel drops on the injector tip. A slight


wetting is acceptable.
te

4 If drops appear the injector tip has to be cleaned internally or


replaced. Repeat the test.
In

Note! Prevent that spill fuel from drain hole ”F” reaches the injector tip.

Checking the needle spindle tightness


1 Increase the injector pressure till approximate 20 bar below the
opening pressure.
2 Check the time for a pressure drop of 200 bar.
– A pressure drop with a duration between 10...20 sec. is acceptable.
– A rapid pressure drop indicates excessive wear of the needle spindle
and/or housing. The injector tip has to be replaced.
– 25 Seconds or more indicates a fouled spindle. Both, needle and
injector tip have to be cleaned.

Note! Only install satisfactorily tested fuel injectors in the engine or store
them with the hole ’F’ and the nozzle tip closed by a plastic cap.
