Foreword

The instructions contained in this Maintenance Manual are meant to contribute towards correctly handled mainte-
nance work to be carried out at specific intervals.
It has been assumed that the staff put in charge of such work possesses the required mechanical knowledge and practice.
Indications on the engine operation as well as the description of the function of specific systems are contained in the
Operating Instructions. In this manual you can find also under group 0010---1 and 0040---1 explanations to the lay-out
and use of the Operating Instructions as well as of the Maintenance Manual.
More detailed instructions on the operation and maintenance of components from sub-suppliers can be gathered from
the instruction leaflets of the respective manufacturers.
Outside makes are, for example, such engine components which are not manufactured in accordance with drawings of
Wärtsilä Italia S.p.A.
The Maintenance Manual is subdivided into the following main divisions:

--- General guidelines for maintenance


--- Maintenance schedule
--- Clearance and wear tables, tightening values of screwed connections, masses (weights), seal rings
--- Design groups
--- Tools list

Comments on these divisions:


The ’General Guidelines for Maintenance’ contain, in addition to recommendations on precautions to be taken, also
hints on the work to be carried out.
In the ’Maintenance Schedule’ guiding values are given on intervals in which specified maintenance work or servicing
should be carried out.
The ’Tables’ inform about normal and maximum permissible clearances and on the tightening values of important
screwed connections, weights of individual engine components as well as the type and use of various sealing rings.
The ’Normal Clearances’ listed in the clearance and wear table group 0352---1 correspond to design and manufacturing
values or to the settings on the new engine.
The laid down maximum clearances or max/min. dimensions are such values as may be reached after a lengthy operating
period, which however may not be allowed to be exceeded or fall below. On components where the clearance is adjust-
able by modifying the thickness of shims, discs, spacers etc. the value given as ’Normal Clearance’ should always be ar-
rived at, or striven to attain. Where this is not possible, worn parts must be replaced by standard new ones or recondi-
tioned by suitable material buildup.
If, during an overhaul, clearances are measured which have almost reached the permissible limit, it must be left to indi-
vidual judgement to decide whether a component part should be replaced or remain fitted till the next overhaul. This
depends for example on the duration of the next operation period till the next overhaul and what wear has to be expected
based on experience made.
Detailed instructions are given in the ’Design Groups’ on the procedure of maintenance work on certain engine parts.
The ’Tools List’ is a compilation of tools and devices required for the maintenance work and which are, as a rule, supplied
along with the engine.
Indications in the text and illustrations in this manual correspond to the status at the time of printing. Modifications are
taken into consideration in re-prints.

General Guidelines for Maintenance
Criteria for the Replacement of Bearing Shells

For the crankshaft main bearings as well as for the connecting rod bottom end bearings, bearing shells of the following
production types are used:
- Aluminium bearings with running layer No. 212.*)
- "Rillenlager" grooved bearings with running layer No. 336
For easy identification of the bearing shell type, their front faces are correspondingly marked (see Fig. 'A'). The last three
digits of the marking indicate the running layer of the bearing shell.

95.7183

Depending on operating conditions, the running layer of a bearing is subjected to more or less wear.
Bearings are therefore considered as wear parts, and depending on operating conditions must be replaced sooner or
later. In order to ensure a trouble free operation and a long life of the bearings, the following points must be observed:
- Optimum lubrication of the bearings, prior to starting and while operating the engine.
- Optimum treatment of the lubricating oil by centrifuging.
- Perfectly working oil filters.
- Through cleaning of the crankcase after overhaul work, and adequately long flushing through of the oil piping system.
- Plugging the oil drillings in the crankshaft during overhaul work on the connecting rod bottom end bearing.

Remark *) Crankshaft main bearings as well as connecting rod bottom end bearings with a running layer
No. 212 should be used for engines with a nominal output of more than 660 kW per cylinder.

Criteria for the replacement of bearing shells

The following indications should facilitate a decision whether a bearing shell has to be replaced or can be fitted again for
further use. It is of paramount importance that in case of a refitting of used shells, they are installed in the same place i.e.
in the same bearing saddle or connecting rod as well as shaft journal, whereby the bearing shell should clamp lightly in
the saddle bore when assembling.
Before assembling a bearing shell its expanded dimension L1 and L2 (Fig. 'B') are to be measured. If a smaller dimension
is established than the values mentioned in Fig. 'B', the bearing shell is to be exchanged.

a) Aluminium bearing No. 212


A bearing shell with the above running layer No. may be refitted provided:
1. The wear lies within the tolerance (see Fig. 'B').
2. The running surface and contact surface are good.
3. Only individual scratches or isolated beddedin dirt traces are observed in the running surface.

A bearing shell with the above running layer No. must be replaced if:
1. The wear in the bearing centre lies outside the tolerance (see Fig. 'B').
2. The running surface is rough or damaged.
3. The running surface contains several grooves and several dirt indentations.

b) "Rillenlager" grooved bearing No. 336


The bearing surfaces of a new grooved bearing shell correspond with the values given in Fig. 'C'. However, these values
are only meant as a general guide. The groove shape and dimensions may differ from one supplier to another.

The following criteria are applicable for the replacement of grooved shells

- A bearing shell must be replaced when, on the max. loaded area of the running surface, the Alweb has increased by
75% (see Fig. 'D'). This does not apply to running surface sections which show some wear caused during runningin by
small directional faults.

- Should, in a surface without overlay, 10% of the Alwebs be worn such that their width has increased by more than
75%, then a new bearing shell must be fitted.
- Should the Alwebs on either or both sides of the bearing be fully worn on a width of over 8 mm, then the bearing shell
must be replaced.
- Should the overlay be worn out of its grooves on either or both sides by more than 15% of the full running width, then
the bearing shell must be replaced.

Remark If cavitation traces are noticed ink the bearing shells of the connecting rod bottom end bearing as
depicted in Fig. 'F' then such bearing shells may again be fitted for reuse; provided however that the
bearing shells show none of the above mentioned wear limits.

General
Foreword

1. Summary
The documentation for this Diesel engine type comprises the following books and publications:
--- Operating Manual
This contains information covering engine operation, the required operating media (oil, water and
fuel), as well as a description of the function of specific systems.
--- Maintenance Manual
This contains, in addition to the maintenance diagrams, information covering specific dismantling and
assembly work necessary for engine maintenance.
It contains furthermore a masses (weight) table of certain individual parts, a clearance table, a list of
rubber / O-rings, tightening values for important screwed connections and a tools list.
--- Code Book (spare parts catalogue)
In this book all parts are marked with a code number by which they can be ordered from the engine
supplier. Such spare parts are to be ordered exclusively from this book.
--- Documentation for bought-out items
Separate publications are provided for those items on the engine supplied by outside manufacturers,
such as turbocharger, governor, torsional vibration damper, etc. In most cases these can also be used as
a spare parts catalogue.
--- Records and drawings
With the first delivery of the documentation, the setting tables, shop trial documents and surveyor’s
certificates of the engine concerned as well as schematic diagrams are also supplied.

2. Structure of the manuals


Generally the manuals have to be regarded as ”B a s i c M a n u a l s” i.e. they describe particularly the standard engine
with all cylinder numbers, alternative design executions and special equipment.
As a rule, in the case of alternative design executions their descriptions have been distributed in separate groups and
clearly designated by the respective alternative names. This, on one hand, allows quickly to find with certainty the respec-
tive passages, on the other hand it allows the later removal of sheets of not supplied alternatives and special executions.
Further indications can be found under the section ’Explanation on the Use of the Operating Manual’ group 0040---1.

3. Repeat-order of technical documentation


Analogous with the continuing development of the engines the documentation is continually being brought up to date.
This means that in a later ordered manual for the same engine, text and designations may no longer coincide in every
way.
Independent of this, however, important information and improvements are brought to the customer’s notice by the
’Service Bulletin’ so that the relevant part of any development should already be known.
When ordering documentation at a later stage for engines which are already in operation since several years, the follo-
wing details are basically required:

1. Engine type, year built and engine manufacturer

2. Name of motor ship or site of installation

3. Cylinder or engine number

4. Special equipment

5. Number of the Operating Manual, Maintenance Manual or Code Book.

Expected inspection and service lifetimes

As already mentioned in group 0003-1, the recommended intervals in the maintenance schedule, group 0030-1 serve
only as general g u i d a n c e.
The actually applicable intervals or lifetimes depend on the following points:
- Quality of fuel and lubricating oils (group 0356-1 of the Operating Instructions)
- Environmental and operating conditions
- Fuel and lubricating oil care
- Maintenance work
- Use of genuine spare parts
- Engine load factor
The actual service intervals are to be determined according to the actual operating conditions.

General
Explanations on the Use of the Operating Manual and Cross Section

Contents

The Operating Manual called Operation for short, contains mainly descriptions and indications on the servicing of the
engine in operation, the required operating media (oil, water, air, fuel) as well as explanations of the function of specific
components and system.
The instructions on maintenance and overhauls are found in a separate book, the Maintenance Manual.

Structure and utilization

The individual groups with their illustration part are extensively distributed according to design groups.
In order to have group descriptions universally usable i.e. a module structure possible, the numbering has been arranged
in accordance with two points of view.
1. By one permanent group number plus a subdivision number:
e.g.: 0040-1
In this way crossindexes (see group . . . . - . ) are neutral within the description.
2. After the oblique stroke with a variable designation:
e.g.: /A1
A certain design execution and the attached number of an alternative is assigned to the letter.
Simultaneously such groups are clearly marked by a short variant designation arranged opposite the title.
The numbering for the pages takes place in the middle of the foot of the page, whereby the last page marks the end of the
group description and page number respectively, by a conclusion mark ().
Remarks refer to the complete group (see group . . . . - . ) within the texts, and not to individual pages.
Every page is provided with a footnote with the year of issue or the last modification (month + year) as well as with
additional remarks.

Where to find what

When looking for group descriptions consult first of all the table of contents 0020-1.
In the cross section illustration, important components have been marked with the group number where they can quickly
be found with their description. The sections further provide a general view of the design of the engine, which, depending
on specific executions, may differ slightly.
Cross section, see page 2.

tightened studs. Fitted in are inlet/exhaust valves, fuel injection valve, starting valve,
relief valve and indicator valve.
Valve drive . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : From camshaft via push rods and rocker arms.
Crankshaft . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : One piece construction, fitted with counterweights, gear wheels for camshaft drive
and builton pumps in certain cases.
Connecting rod . . . . . . . . . . . : Separated in connecting rod shaft with spherical upper end and crankpin bearing
split, split bearing shell, hydraulically pretensioned and fitted compression shim de
pending on cylinder output.
Rotating piston . . . . . . . . . . . : Bore cooled with lubricating oil, fitted with a rotating mechanism, consisting of sev
eral parts, piston crown of steel, piston skirt cast iron.
Camshaft drive . . . . . . . . . . . : Via intermediate gear wheel from crankshaft.
Camshaft . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : The camshaft carries the inlet and exhaust valve cams as well as the fuel injection cam
for each cylinder. The cams are shrunkon hydraulically. There are fitted also driving
wheel for governor drive and overspeed safety cutout, flywheel disc or vibration
damper depending on the number of cylinders and application.
Starting air control . . . . . . . . : With solenoid valve via shutoff valve for starting air and starting air distributor to
starting valve in the cylinder head.
Local control stand . . . . . . . : In case of failure of the remote control the engine can be operated from the local con
trol stand.
Speed governor . . . . . . . . . . . : Driven off camshaft drive wheel, mechanic/hydraulic or electronic.
Overspeed cutout device . . : The mechanical overspeed safety cutout device shuts the engine down in case of
overspeed by shifting the regulating linkage to zero fuel.
The electropneumatic safety cutout device acts on the piston of regulating racks of
all fuel injection pumps and in turn interrupts the fuel delivery until a lower engine
speed is reached (however the engine is not shut down).
Fuel injection . . . . . . . . . . . . : Fuel injection pump (Boschtype) driven off camshaft (fuel cam), direct injection via
high pressure pipe, fuel stud and nozzle holder to injection nozzle.

General
Working Principle of the FourStroke Diesel Engine

During one working cycle the crankshaft turns twice.

First stroke:
Through the opened inlet valve compressed air is pressed by the exhaust gas turbocharger via charge air cooler into the
cylinder. The piston moves downwards. During this period the crankshaft goes through a half turn. The first stroke is
also designated suction stroke.

Second stroke:

With closed valves the air in the cylinder is compressed by the upwards moving piston. Before the top dead centre
(T.D.C.) is reached by the piston, fuel is injected into the combustion space. Here too the crankshaft goes through a
half turn. The second stroke is designated compression stroke.

Third stroke:

The injected, atomized fuel ignites in the hot compressed air of the combustion space. Combustion and with it expan
sion begins and presses the piston downwards. The crankshaft goes through a further half turn. The third stroke is
designated working stroke or expansion stroke.

Fourth stroke:
The exhaust valve opens and the combustion gases are pressed out of the cylinder by the upwards moving piston. These
exhaust gases drive the turbine and with it the blower of the turbocharger. The crankshaft goes through a further half
turn. The fourth stroke is designated exhaust stroke or scavenging stroke.

1. General
Almost all mineral fuel oils may be burned in a diesel engine provided suitable measures are taken. Nevertheless, the
quality of the fuel will have a bearing on the frequency of overhauls and the necessary effort required for the preparation
of the fuel. Consequently it is primarily economic considerations which - according to the type, size and speed of the
engine, as well as its application - determine the fuel quality margins.
Gas oils and diesel oils (distillates) can be used in all our engines. Whether a specific engine type is suited to run on heavy
fuel and up to what grade, can be found in the "Quality specification for heavy fuel oils" (see table on page 3). In case of
fuels with very low sulphur content care must be taken, particularly when runningin new piston rings and cylinder liners.
Heavy fuel oil must be treated in an appropriate fuel treatment plant.
The attached table under section 2 summarizes the characteristic values of marine fuel oil available on the market.
When bunkering, the fuel suppliers may report only a few of the values listed in "Quality requirements", frequently me
rely the density and maximum viscosity. This also handicaps the assessment of a fuel oil.
The supplier should guarantee the stability of the fuel, i.e. resistance to the formation of sludge. Furthermore, the fuel
must not have any corrosive effect on the injection equipment.
Mixing of fuel oils from different supplies should be avoided as far as practicable, since there is a risk of incompatibility
difficulties if fuels having different compositions are mixed (for instance this may cause fouling of filters).
The following table under section 2 may be used as a guide for first classification of fuels according to certain characteri
stic values.

During combustion the sulphur of the fuel burns to form sulphur oxides which in turn form
sulphuric acids. These acids are very corrosive to the cylinder liner walls and the piston
rings primarily if temperatures of these components are below the dew point. The corro
sive attack can be combated by using a cylinder oil with sufficient alkalinity, expressed by its
BN (Base Number).
Regarding the selection of the BN in relation to the sulphur content of the fuel, reference is
made to instructions in group 0110-1.
Experience shows that also an excessive BN can have detrimental effects such as forming
hard deposits in the combustion chamber of the engine.
Carbon residue [%] up to 0.20 up to 2.5 up to 18 up to 20

A high conradson figure shows that the fuel tends to form deposits during combustion, and
thus favours the fouling of nozzles, piston ring grooves, gas outlet ducts and scavenge
ports.
Ash content [%] up to 0.01 up to 0.02 up to 0.15 up to 0.20
Ash grinds piston rings, cylinders and valves, and can also promote fouling and burnoff

3. Heavy fuel oil


Diesel engine fuels include a variety of petroleum products ranging from gas oil to heavy fuel oil. Gas oil is produced
from crude oil by distillation and processing whereas fuel oil is mainly the residue left after distillation of the crude oil. To
obtain the desired viscosity the residue is blended down with lighter, less viscous components. Modern refineries also
apply socalled secondary conversion processes such as visbreaking and catalytic cracking to obtain a higher proportion
of lighter products. These products are used as blending stocks for heavy fuel oil.
Marine fuels are usually differentiated by viscosity. The viscosity is indicated in centistokes (cSt) at 50 C. The fuels are
classified according to ISO 8217:1996, e.g. ISO  F  RMK55.
It has to be noted that viscosity itself is not a quality criterion. To evaluate the quality and suitability of a fuel for use in a
diesel engine, a number of characteristics such as those listed in the fuel oil requirements table have to be considered.
For assessing the ignition properties of a distillate diesel fuel the CETANE number (by standardized engine test) or the
CETANE index (by calculation) have been used. The CCAI (Calculated Carbon Aromaticity Index) is recommended
for marine fuels. The inflammability is of particular importance for medium and highspeed engines. Experience has
shown that for slowspeed diesel engines the ignition properties are of minor importance.
The use of fuel oils with properties approaching the maximum limits requires very good supervision and maintenance of
the engine and, in particular, of the fuel treating equipment. With fuels of poor quality and inadequate fuel preparation,
premature overhauling and added maintenance costs have to be faced.

0100–1/A1 Operation ZA40S

The values in the column 'Bunker limit' (RMK55) indicate the minimum quality of heavy fuel as bunkered, i.e. as sup
plied to the ship/installation. Good operating results have been achieved with commercially available fuels within these
limits.
The column 'Recommended fuel quality' is an example of a good quality fuel of the type commonly used in Sulzer diesel
engines. This variety of fuel can be expected to have a positive influence on overhaul periods, by improving combustion,
wear and exhaust gas composition.
The fuel oil as bunkered must be processed before it enters the engine. For the design of the fuel treatment plant, it is
recommended to follow the relevant recommendations of Wärtsilä NSD Switzerland Ltd. The difference between the
recommended fuel quality of bunker and at engine inlet is an approximate indication of the improvement that must be
achieved by fuel oil treatment. If catalyst fines are present they must be removed. The fuel oil should contain no foreign
substances or chemical waste, hazardous to the safety of the ship or detrimental to the performance of machinery.

4. Notes to Fuel oil requirements (heavy fuel oil)

4.1. Viscosity
The maximum admissible viscosity of the fuel that can be used in an installation depends on the heating and fuel prepara
tion facilities available. As a guidance, the necessary preheating temperature for a given nominal viscosity can be taken
from the viscositytemperature diagram (group 0250-2) in the engine Operating Manual. The recommended viscosity
range before engine is: 13-17 cSt [mm2/s] or 60-75 SecRW1.

4.2. Carbon residue, asphaltenes, sediment


High levels of carbon residue and asphaltenes impair the combustion quality of the fuel and promote increased wear and
fouling of engine components. Asphaltenes also have a bearing on the stability of blended fuels and can cause problems
of excessive sludge formation in centrifugal separators, filters and on the tank bottom. To minimize compatibility risks,
care should be taken to avoid mixing bunkers from different suppliers and sources in the storage tanks on board. Care
must also be taken when heavy fuel oil is blended onboard to reduce the viscosity. Paraffinic distillate, when added to a
heavy fuel oil of low stability reserve, can cause the asphaltenes to settle out, resulting in heavy sludge formation. A stan
dard heavy fuel oil contains up to 14% asphaltenes and a good quality fuel up to 8% asphaltenes.

4.3. Sulphur
The alkalinity (BN) of the cylinder lubricating oil should be selected with regard to the sulphur level of the fuel in use.
Indications for the selection of the BN of lubricating oil in relation to the sulphur content of the fuel oil are found in
group 0100-1.

4.4. Ash and trace metals


Fuels oils with low contents of ash, vanadium and sodium are preferable. These components are detrimental since they
tend to promote mechanical wear, hightemperature corrosion and the formation of deposits in the turbocharger and on
the exhaust valve.
Since sodium compounds (oxides, sulphates) depress the melting point of the vanadium, which is very corrosive in the
liquid phase, the sodium content should be as low as possible. With certain ratios of the vanadium to sodium content, the
compounds form a eutectic with a minimum melting point which must be avoided. High sodium levels at engine inlet can
cause fouling of turbocharger components.
The effect of hightemperature corrosion and the formation of deposits can be counteracted by application of suitable
fuel treatments, known as socalled ash modifiers.

ZA40S Operation 0100–1/A1

4.5. Aluminium, silicon


Aluminium and silicon found in appreciable concentrations in the fuel oil are regarded as an indication of the presence
of socalled catalytic fines (cat fines). These are particles of hard oxides which cause high abrasive wear to piston rings
and cylinder liners. This material is used as a catalyst in certain processes in petroleum refining and can find its way into
marine fuels. The most dangerous cat fines are of the size 10 to 20 microns. They tend to be attracted to water droplets
and are very difficult to remove from the fuel oil. Practical experience has shown that with proper treatment in the fuel
separator a sum of aluminium and silicon of 80 ppm (mg/kg) can be reduced to less than 15 ppm (mg/kg) which may be
considered as just tolerable. Proper treatment means reduced throughput in the separator and a fuel temperature of as
close as possible to 98 C.

4.6. Water
The water content of the fuel oil must be further reduced by careful purification. This is accomplished most effectively by
centrifuging and by use of proper draining arrangements on the settling and service tanks. A thorough removal of water
is strongly recommended, to reduce the content of cat fines and sodium in the fuel oil. Cat fines potentially reside in the
water droplets and marine fuel oil is often contaminated with sea water containing sodium, 1.0% sea water in the fuel oil
corresponds to 100 ppm sodium.
To achieve a good separating effect, the throughput and the temperature of the fuel must be adjusted in relation to the
viscosity. With highviscosity fuels, the separating temperature must be increased whereas the throughput must be de
creased in relation to the nominal capacity of the separator. For recommended operating data, refer also to the separa
tor instruction manual.

4.7. Flash point


This is a legal requirement with regard to the fire hazards of petroleum based fuels.

4.8. Pour point


The lowest operating temperature of the fuel should be kept about 5-10 C above the pour point to secure easy pum
ping.

4.9. Ignition quality (CCAI)


The CCAI = Calculated Carbon Aromaticity Index (ISO 8217:1996) is a function of viscosity and density, and is an indi
cation of the ignition quality for medium and high speed diesel engines. In low speed engines ignition delay as given by
the CCAI is of minor importance. There is no rigidly applicable limit for this quantity, but good results have been obtai
ned with commercially available fuels which have CCAI values up to 870.

1. General
The functions to be performed by the lubricant in a diesel engine can be summarized as reduction of friction and wear,
cooling of engine components, sealing of piston rings and cylinder liner and prevention of corrosion at high and low
temperatures. In addition to this, it must be able to cope with unfavorable byproducts through its neutralization and
detergent / dispersal properties. To effectively perform all these functions it must have specific physical and chemical
properties.
An alkaline trunkpiston engine oil with detergent / dispersal properties, designed for application in medium speed
engines running on residual type fuel must be selected.
The same oil is used for the bearing system and the separate cylinder lubrication (dual purpose oil, SAE 40). The type
of fuel used, distillate or residual, determines the necessary performance level of the lubricating oil. Residual fuels
impose higher requirements on the lubricant.

Remark To assist the engine operator in selecting lubricants, the major lube oil suppliers' lube oil brands are
listed in the table 'Lubricating oils for Sulzer mediumspeed diesel engines'. If further advice is

As base stocks highly refined naphthenic as well as paraffinic or mixed based mineral oils have proven satisfactory in
service. Typical characteristic of fresh engine oil are as follows:

Viscosity at 40 °C . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 120-180 cSt (mm2/S)


Viscosity index . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 80-100
SAE Viscosity grade . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40
Flash point ( PMCC ) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . above 210 °C
Pour point . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -15 °C

The alkalinity of the lubricating oil or Base Number (BN) must correspond to the type of fuel used.

Fuel type Distillate fuel oil Residual fuel oil


(MGO, MDO) (HFO, MFO, IF, IFO)
Fuel sulphur content by weight % max. 1 1-2 max. 3 3-5
BN (mg/KOH/g) 12-20 up to 30 30 40

Remark Engines with internal cylinder lubrication


A lubricating oil with a BN of 40 mgKOH/g should be used with HFO, as engines with internal
cylinder lubrication tend to have a lower lube oil consumption than engines with external cylinder
lubrication.
The application of a BN50 lubricating oil is mainly restricted to engines which have a very low lube
oil consumption (< 0.60 g/kWh ref. MCR), whenever a BN40 lube oil is not sufficient to maintain
the BN above 20 mgKOH/g.

3. Lubricating oil treatment


When running on heavy fuel oil the lubricating oil must be continuously separated, for which a centrifugal separator
working in bypass is recommended which, according to latest advice by the separator manufacturers, has to be oper
ated as 'purifier'. The lubricating oil entering the separator should have a temperature of 90 to 95 C, with a through
put adjusted to 20% of the rated capacity. The complete oil charge should be treated in the separator at least 5 timesa
day. Centrifuging should be commenced about 4 hours before starting the engine and continued for about 2-4 hours
after shutdown.

4. Used oil testing


Under normal operating conditions samples of the lubricating oil should be taken from the system of the engine as
explained in group 0356-1 of the 'Maintenance Manual'. From an analysis of the samples, it is possible to comment on
the condition of the oil and to confirm if it is fit for further service. It is advisable to make use of the services offered by
the oil suppliers for this purpose.
the used oil testing should cover the following data:
- Viscosity - Insolubles
- Flash point - Water contamination
- Base number (BN) - Nature of water

Possibly also dilution by fuel and metal content (spectroscopic analysis) might be included. The significance of analysis
results can best be assessed if they are considered as a whole and in relation to the past analytical history of the oil.
In the course of time even the best quality lubricating oil changes its properties due to ageing, oxidation and contami
nation caused by the working conditions in such a way that a change of the oil fill must be considered. However, it is not
possible to give a fixed time interval for this purpose since this is influenced by the operating conditions and the effi
ciency of the oil treatment.
For general guidance, the limiting values of some used oil analysis results are indicated below. A rapid change of one or
the other of these parameters can indicate abnormal operating conditions or a fault in the system. The lube oil should
not simply be changed without investigating the cause of the problem.
Correct sampling is most important to be able to draw true conclusions from the analysis. Care must therefore be taken
to ensure that the sample is not contaminated after being drawn. The instructions given in group 0356-1 of the 'Main
tenance Manual' must be observed.

5. Attention limits
The values indicated below for general guidance. The oil fill is still fit for further use if the parameters are within the
limits indicated:

Viscosity ISO 3104 at 100 C -20/+25%


(reference fresh oil) at 40 C -25/+40%
Flash point ISO 2719 (PMCC) min. 170 C
ASTM D92 (COC) min. 190 C
Insolubles ASTM D893b (in pentane) max. 2.0%
Water ISO 3733 max. 0.3%
BN ASTM D2896 (residual fuel) min. 20 mgKOH/g
(distillate fuel) max. 50% depletion

If one of these limits is reached remedial action must be taken to bring the oil charge back to normal condition. Besides
renewal of the complete oil charge, this might also be achieved by intensified separation (e.g. through decreasing the
intervals between the discharge cycles of the separator), special treatment in a reconditioning tank or by partial re
placement of the oil charge. It is also recommended to seek advice from the oil supplier.

6. Other lube oil requirements

6.1 Turbocharger

For the selection and maintenance of the lubricating oil the requirements of the turbocharger supplier as outlined in
the instruction book must be observed.

7.00 2 Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd


ZA40S
Operation 0110–1/A1

6.2 Hydraulic governor


The lubricating oil must conform to the lube oil requirements of the mechanical or hydraulic governor or actuator's
original manufacturer. The following guidelines are supplementary to those requirements:
If the nominal operating pressure is high (< 200 psi), as for most modern engines, a synthetic polyalphaolefin based
lube oil should be used. Certain ester based oils attack seals and varnish, and should not be used unless recommended
by the manufacturer. Older engines have governors with lower nominal operating pressures (> 200 psi), for which a
mineral oil based lube oil can also be used.
The lube oil viscosity should be in the range:
- ISO VG 68 for oil sump temperatures approx. 60 C to 75 C
- ISO VG 100 for oil sump temperatures approx. 75 C to 90 C
The oil must be kept clean and an oil charge which shows distinct signs of discoloration should be replaced. Synthetic
oils should be changed at least once a year and mineral oils at least every 2000 running hours. If the nominal operating
pressure is very high (> 260 psi), as on all engines with 12 cylinders or more, then the synthetic oil should be changed at
least every 6 months, or if the oil sump operation temperature exceeds 90 C then more frequently.

6.3 Turning gear


Oil type recommended: EP (extreme pressure) gear oil. FZG gear machine method IP 334/90, load stage pass 12, vis
cosity grade ISO VG 220.

Cooling Water / Cooling Water Treatment

1. General remarks
To avoid service stoppages due to the cooling water circuit the water must be suitably treated to cause neither corrosion
nor the formation of sediments. Untreated cooling water leads, from experience, relatively quickly to the formation of
sediments and incrustations and with it to troubles in the cooling system.

2. Raw water for closed cooling water circuits


For a fresh filling the raw water must, without fail, be totally desalinated water or condensate water from e.g. the fresh
water generators or from auxiliary steam systems with additives. Condensate water is highly corrosive and must therefo
re be made suitable as a coolant by corrosion inhibitors.
Only in exceptional situations should drinking water or process water be used from the local mains. Its hardness must on
no account exceed 10°dH (German hardness degrees). If the water exceeds this limit it must be desalinated and brought
to the hardness value indicated below.
Sea water must never be used as raw water because of its high content of salts.
As a nominal guide for the desired raw water quality the following values should be used:

Hardness . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 to 10°dH
Content of chlorides and sulphates . . . not more than 100 mg/liter
pH value . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 to 10

In cases of doubt a water analysis must be carried out and advice be sought from Wärtsilä NSD Switzerland Ltd.
It is generally not recommended to use corrosion protective oils (emulsion oils) for treating the cooling water, as consi
derable risks are run to foul the cooling system, if instructions are not strictly adhered to and insufficient checks of the
coolant (a wateroil emulsion) are carried out.

3. Cooling water in service


To be suitable, cooling water must, as already mentioned above, be treated by the right, and correctly administered
corrosion inhibitor. Well proven in service are inhibitors with NITRITE and BORATE as active ingredients. A listing of
proven and tested marketed products can be obtained from New Sulzer Diesel Ltd upon request. The dosage must be
strictly in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer, and it must be periodically checked in service to main
tain the correct concentration.
It is recommended to choose such suppliers of inhibitors who can also provide expert advice for the fresh filling as well as
for later in service.
Coolant leakages have to be made good again by adding the right water with the correctly metered additive. Loss by
evaporation has to be made up by correct raw water (see above). In this way an over concentration of inhibitors is preven
ted.
The cooling water in the cooling system should have a pHvalue of 8 to maximum 10.
A faultless and permanent venting of the cooling system is an essential requirement for the uniform and effective cooling
of all components in the system.
The water cooled spaces must be regularly inspected for rust formation, contamination and the formation of sediments.
The quality of the cooling water must be tested for its correct inhibitor concentration as well as for other parameters.
Here the instructions of the supplier of the inhibitor must be carefully followed: It is also recommended to secure the
services of the inhibitor supplier or to utilize appropriate test kits as per instructions.

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 1 1996


0120–1/A1 Operation ZA40S

Emulsion oils

When emulsion oils are used as inhibitors, it is essential that full attention be paid to the following points:
- the system must be scrupulously clean before being put into service.
- the emulsion oil is added according to the instructions.
When the system has been operating for a short time, the original inhibitor concentration falls sharply due to the crea
tion of an oil film on the metal surfaces (e.g. from 0.5% down to 0.1% by weight). Only after the concentration drops
below 0.1% weight should a calculated amount of fresh emulsion oil be added to bring the value back to 0.4% to 0.5% by
weight.
For tests on the existing concentration of inhibitors the recommendations of the oil supplier must be followed.
Too high a concentration causes an increase in the oil film thickness and thereby impairs the heat transfer, which in turn
causes increased corrosion and local overheating (heat cracks, burn scars).
Totally saltfree water can result in the emulsion oil causing foaming, in which case antifoaming additives should be used
according to the oil supplier's instructions.
Cooling water systems with emulsion oils are particularly sensitive to contamination or fouling and especially in the
presence of combustion residues. The acid in them causes the emulsion to decompose, which leads to sludge formation.
We therefore strongly recommend using chemically acting corrosion inhibitors.

4. Cleaning the cooling water system


For a fresh filling the complete cooling system must be clean, free from grease and oil and must not contain any foreign
particles or remainders from the manufacture.
Later, in service, cleaning can become necessary if by influx of oil or when due to gradual formation of sediments the heat
transfer and with it the cooling effect is diminished. Such problems will occur earlier where the care of the cooling water
and of the cooling system has not been given the required attention. The complete system must then be treated by a
suitable detergent agent (decreasing, dissolution of chalk sediments). Prior to filling with the prepared cooling water,
the system has to be thoroughly rinsed through and any residual acid remains neutralized.
For this purpose suitable cleaning agents are available, which are too numerous to be listed here. We again recommend,
however, to consult a firm of specialists for assistance.
Contaminations occurring during operation are settling in the cooling system particularly in areas where the water velo
city is low and they considerably impair the heat transfer. Cooling water spaces in cylinder heads especially have to be
periodically checked. Should sedimentation be detected then the complete cooling system must be cleaned.

Safety Precautions and Warnings (General Information)

General remark

A well maintained engine is a prerequisite for a troublefree and safe operation. The below mentioned points should
always be a guide to the maintenance staff.

Illumination

Besides a permanent good illumination hand lamps should be ready at hand in various locations of the engine room.

Cleanliness

The engine room as well as the engine itself should always be kept as clean as possible. Any leakages should be atten
ded to as soon as possible. Dust, sand and chemical vapors must be prevented from entering the engine room.

Warning

Opening valves and other shutoff devices may allow hot fluids or gases to escape.
Therefore open slowly and watch in which direction the medium escapes.
Avoid injury.
When removing valves from the cylinder head, avoid that oils or fuels drip onto the hot piston which could cause an
explosion. When disassembling parts of the engine without suitable tools and/or the required care, prestressed springs
can expand suddenly and cause injury. Pay attention to the maintenance instructions of the corresponding parts.

Fire

Special attention has to be paid to the rules of fire fighting.


Welding work and activities which cause sparks must not be carried out in the engine room before ensuring that no
explosive gases, vapors or inflammable fluids are present. If spark generating work must be performed in the engine
room make sure that fire extinguishing equipment is readily at hand to fight a fire locally. Components such as exhaust
turbocharger air filters must be protected by suitable covering. When claddings and covers are removed before the
engine has cooled down, the risk of fire or explosions is increased. Therefore keep the engine closed until it has cooled
down.
Care must also be taken when paints or easily inflammable solvents are used in the engine room.
Insulation material saturated with oil or fuel (due to leakages) is also easily ignited and must therefore be replaced.
Cleanliness in the whole engine room, also below the floor plates reduces the possibility of a fire and the risk of its
spreading.
For your personal safety make absolutely sure that in case of a fire alarm no fire extinguishing gases can be automati
cally released when people are in the engine room. Emergency escapes are to be marked and personnel is to be instruc
ted of what to do in the case of fire.

Tools

Hand tools should be placed at easily accessible locations and clearly arranged. Special tools and devices shall be pla
ced in the engine room in the vicinity of their usual application in such a way that they can be used without hindrances.
In marine installations they must be fastened and protected against rust.

Spare parts

Large spares are to be stored as near as possible to their probable place of fitting, well braced and secured and within
the reach of the engine room crane. All the spare parts must be well protected against corrosion, but with a compound
requiring little effort for removal. They must also be protected against mechanical damage.
Spare parts removed from the store must be replaced as soon as possible.

Opening the crankcase doors

If the engine has to be shutdown due to suspected overheated parts of the running gear or bearings, at least 20 minu
tes must elapse before the covers are unfastened and removed in order to reduce the danger of an explosion.

Temperature sensing

When commissioning an engine after an overhaul of its running gear a check must be made to find out whether any
areas are heatingup abnormally. This check should be made after 10 minutes operation and repeated after about 1
hour. Following this, the checking should again be made after a short full load run.

Attention Danger of burning! When trying to touch the hot parts it is necessary to approach the part slowly
and to avoid injury.

Entering the crankcasing

Before entering the crankcasing make sure that:


1. the starting air to the engine is blocked off and the vent in the starting air supply pipe to the engine is open.
2. the turning gear is engaged (also refer to item 2 of the Maintenance Manual Group 0003-1).

Attention In ships, please consider that water currents induced by other ships can cause the propeller and the
engine with it to rotate. By engaging the turning gear this rotation can be avoided.

Turning gear

When using the turning gear the indicator valves on the cylinder head must be opened. It is advisable also to start the
prelubricating pump.

Attention Make sure that no personnel or parts (tools, jigs) are inside the crankcasing or near rotating parts
(fly wheel, couplings, shafts, propeller). At ship propulsion plants the propeller and propeller
shafts must be freely turnable.

Note If the engine is standing still for overhaul, the turning gear must be engaged in order to prevent the
engine to be turned due to outside influence.

If the engine must be ready for manoeuvres the turning gear must not be engaged.
Before starting the engine, make sure that the turning gear is disengaged and the lever secured
otherwise the blocking valve 38HA (see group 4603-1) hinders the start of the engine.

Measuring and indicating instruments

These instruments must be checked and calibrated periodically.

Frost hazard

If there is a possibility that the temperature falls below the freezing point with the engine out of service, measures must
be taken that the water in the engine, in the pumps, coolers and piping system cannot freeze. (Draining the systems or
heating the engine room).

Note Further remarks concerning safety precautions for maintenance work see the relevant mainte
nance instruction (group 0003-1)

with differential pressure indication.

Venting:

- Pressurize the fuel system. (According to the installation with a manual pump or an electric motor driven booster
pump).
- Loosen the cap nut of the high pressure fuel pipes to the fuel pressure valve in the cylinder head one after another
( see group 2716-1).
- Start venting at the fuel injection pump nearest to the fuel supply pipe.
- As soon as fuel flows the cap nut can be tightened again.

Starting the Engine with Electric Speed Setting

Starting the engine (see separate publication of the 'ENGINE CONTROL')

The engine may only be started when all the settings for the fuel injection pumps, the governor, the safety cutout
devices and the control linkages are correct.
If the engine was out of service for some time, the instructions of the section 'Preparation for Starting' must be obser
ved (see group 0210-1) .
We recommend, in any case to turn the engine through with the turning gear at least two revolutions with the indicator
cocks open. If the engine has been stopped only very shortly this procedure can be omitted.

For starting the engine proceed as follows:


1. Start the lubricating oil, fuel booster and cylinder cooling water pumps. (For engines with enginedriven pumps
start the standby or the prelubricating and the cooling water pumps).

2. Check whether the turning gear is disengaged and the operating lever is locked.

3. Check whether the shutoff valves for starting air and control air are open and whether sufficient air pressure is
available.

4. Bring speed setting to start position (about 40% of nominal speed).

5. a) Local control stand:Press hand lever to STARTposition until the engine fires evenly then put hand lever back to
RUN position.
or
b) Remote control: Hand lever on the local control stand must be in AUTO position. Initiate start until the
engine fires evenly.
(By starting failure the starting air is shutoff automatically after a determined time limit).

6. Bring the engine slowly up to the required speed. (Extended running without load should be avoided however)

7. Load up the engine steadily but put on to full load only when the lubricating oil and cooling water have reached
service temperature.

8. Check operating pressures and temperatures (see group 0230-1).

9. Check the turbocharger speed and compare with the value in the test report (speed depends on the load).

10. The load indicator may not exceed the position given for a certain load (see test report).

Apart from the general instructions given here,the instructions for machinery space ventilation, water cooling, refil
ling of fuel and water tanks, etc. have to be observed. The starting air receivers have to be recharged (30 bar).

Normal Running with External Cyl. Lubrication

Instructions for normal operation

Following checks and precautionary actions should be observed:


1. Regular checking of the pressures and temperatures using the pressure gauges and thermometers. The values and
limits laid down in the engine acceptance records, supplied separately, and table in group 0230-1 should be main
tained.
2. The temperature differences between the cooling water inlets and outlets should be kept as small as possible, i.e. as
much water as possible should be allowed to flow through the engine. For this reason, the cooling systems should
never be unnecessarily restricted.
3. Check that the various valves for the engine cooling and lubricating systems are in the correct positions.
4. Any changes to the cooling water flow should be made slowly, since abrupt temperature changes can cause damage
due to thermal stress.
5. Maintain the correct charge air temperature after charge air cooler (see group 0230-1).In principle a higher
charge air temperature causes poor scavenging of the cylinders, i.e. higher fuel consumption, higher exhaust tem
peratures.
6. The charge air pressure drops across the turbocharger air filter and the cooler should be checked. If the pressure
drop is too high, this can result in too little air reaching the engine which, in turn, can lead to turbocharger surging.
7. When heavy oil is used as a fuel, the temperature at the engine inlet must always be kept high enough so that the
viscosity lies within the permissible range (see group 0250-2).
8. Comparison of the readings shown on the instruments with those indicated in the Engine Acceptance Report will
provide a good indication of the engine's behavior.
To the most importance readings belong: position of the engine load indicator, speed of turbocharger, chargeair
pressure and exhaust temperature before the turbocharger, as well as on stationary engines the power output of the
generator and on marine engines the engine speed. A good indication is also obtained by the specific fuel consump
tion, whereby fluctuations in the lower calorific value of the fuel must be taken into consideration.
9. It is particularly important to watch the exhaust gas temperature before the turbine. The maximum permissible
temperature must never be exceeded. (see group 0230-1 and the separate turbocharger instructions)
The exhaust gas temperatures after each cylinder are only meaningful when compared with the values obtained
during the shop tests; by themselves they are of no importance. If the temperature after any single cylinder differ
widely from the test results, the reason must be found.
10. Combustion can be checked from the color of the exhaust gases, or by making smoke tests where apparatus is avail
able.
11. On engines with separate cylinder lubrication, regulate the cylinder lub. oil quantity and calculate the specific con
sumption.
12. If provided, check the various components in the cylinder lubricating system (header tank level, oil filter, oil pump,
flowcontrol valve, ORBIThydraulic motor and cylinder lubricating pumps).
13. Listening to the engine noise can disclose irregularities.
14. The fuel oil must be thoroughly cleaned before use. Water and sludge should be regularly drained from the daily

15. The permanent drain from the receiver space on the engine housing and of the charge air cooler casing must al
ways be open. During operation charge air should escape. If water emerges it is necessary to clarify whether it is
condensate or cooling water.
Should water flow out, one has to clarify whether it is water from the cylinder cooling system or from the charge air
cooler.
From time to time the drains must be checked, for possible blockage.

Instructions for normal operation

Following checks and precautionary actions should be observed:


1. Regular checking of the pressures and temperatures using the pressure gauges and thermometers. The values and
limits laid down in the engine acceptance records, supplied separately, and table in group 0230-1 should be main
tained.
2. The temperature differences between the cooling water inlets and outlets should be kept as small as possible, i.e. as
much water as possible should be allowed to flow through the engine. For this reason, the cooling systems should
never be unnecessarily restricted.
3. Check that the various valves for the engine cooling and lubricating systems are in the correct positions.
4. Any changes to the cooling water flow should be made slowly, since abrupt temperature changes can cause damage
due to thermal stress.
5. Maintain the correct charge air temperature after charge air cooler (see group 0230-1).In principle a higher
charge air temperature causes poor scavenging of the cylinders, i.e. higher fuel consumption, higher exhaust tem
peratures.
6. The charge air pressure drops across the turbocharger air filter and the cooler should be checked. If the pressure
drop is too high, this can result in too little air reaching the engine which, in turn, can lead to turbocharger surging.
7. When heavy oil is used as a fuel, the temperature at the engine inlet must always be kept high enough so that the
viscosity lies within the permissible range (see group 0250-2).
8. Comparison of the readings shown on the instruments with those indicated in the Engine Acceptance Report will
provide a good indication of the engine's behavior.
To the most importance readings belong: position of the engine load indicator, speed of turbocharger, chargeair
pressure and exhaust temperature before the turbocharger, as well as on stationary engines the power output of the
generator and on marine engines the engine speed. A good indication is also obtained by the specific fuel consump
tion, whereby fluctuations in the lower calorific value of the fuel must be taken into consideration.
9. It is particularly important to watch the exhaust gas temperature before the turbine. The maximum permissible
temperature must never be exceeded (see group 0230-1 and the separate turbocharger instructions).
The exhaust gas temperatures after each cylinder are only meaningful when compared with the values obtained
during the shop tests; by themselves they are of no importance. If the temperature after any single cylinder differ
considerably from the test results, the reason must be found.
10. Combustion can be checked from the color of the exhaust gases, or by making smoke tests where apparatus is avail
able.
11. Listening to the engine noise can disclose irregularities.
12. The fuel oil must be thoroughly cleaned before use. Water and sludge should be regularly drained from the daily
fuel tank and fuel filter. The instructions concerning the separator must be observed.
13. The permanent drain from the receiver space on the engine housing and of the charge air cooler casing must al
ways be open. During engine running charge air must escape. If water emerges it is to clarify whether it is conden
sate or cooling water.
Should cooling water flow out, one has to clarify whether it is water from the cylinder cooling system or from the
charge air cooler.
From time to time the drains must be checked, for possible blockage.
14. The permanent venting of the cooling systems must always be open to permit air to escape.
15. Check the pressure drop across the oil filter.
16. Check the levels in the water and oil tanks as well as those from the leakage pipes. Always look for the cause of any
abnormal changes.

Manoeuvring and Operation at Low Load

General information concerning maneuvering, increasing and decreasing load

Correct manoeuvering and the resulting increase in engine load up to service power, as well as decrease in load from
the service power, is very important with the usual high engine power of today. Experience has shown that changing
the load too quickly in the upper power ranges can result in increased wear and fouling, especially of the piston rings
and cylinder liners.
Slow load changes allow the piston rings to adapt themselves to the new running conditions and therefore ensure opti
mum sealing.
On the other hand, there must always be sufficient power available within a short time to ensure safe manoeuvering in
ports and waterways.

1. Manoeuvring
Depending on installations manoeuvering varies. The information for starting, etc. are to be found in the section on
engine control (see group 0220-1).
Below are given a few general indications on manoeuvering.
- When the gear box is being reversed the instructions of the gear manufacturers must be observed. When engaging,
the engine speed must not drop too much, as otherwise the safety devices (oil pressure, water pressure etc.) may
trigger an alarm.

2. Operation at Low Load


A fouling of the inlet ducts in the cylinder heads can occur when the engine is operated for a lengthy period below 25 %
of nominal load. We therefore recommend not to let the engine run unnecessarily long at idle speed (not more than
half a day).

3. Operation at low speed


When operating at low speed the cooling water inlet temperature to the charge air cooler should be as high as possible,
so that the engine does not cool down too much.

4. Operation in heavy seas


When the propeller is emerged and submerged constantly in heavy seas the engine speed should be reduced. When the
propeller emerges there is a risk that the engine is shut down by the mechanical overspeed trip.

Operation
Operation with Heavy Fuel Oil for Single Engine Plant

Heavy fuel oils, as they are supplied today for burning in diesel engines, require a careful treatment which makes the
installation of a suitable plant necessary. According to present techniques the most effective cleaning of liquid fuels from
solids and water is achieved by centrifugal separators.

1. Treatment of heavy fuel oils, treatment plant, presentday treatment equipment and its use
Heavy fuel oils are mostly contaminated with solids and water. Should uncleaned or insufficiently treated heavy fuel oil
enter the engine, it can cause unacceptably rapid wear on engine components like piston rings, cylinder liners, fuel
pumps, fuel valves etc. Furthermore excessive sediment can be formed in the combustion spaces.
Particularly sodium in the fuel oil (which originates from sea water) leads to formation of deposits on pistons and in the
turbocharger. For this reason, water must be separated carefully out of the fuel oil.
Settling tanks are used for the first steps of treatment. However, they only effect a coarse separation, particularly of free
water from the heavy fuel oil. To keep them effective settling tanks must have the sludge and water, accumulating in the
tank bottom, periodically drained off.
The main cleaning is effected by optimally dimensioned and correctly adjusted and operated centrifuges. Modern de
signs render superfluous the previously necessary adaptation of the gravity discs to varying densities of heavy fuel oils in
use. Modern machines automatically expel the sludge from the centrifuge. For modern power plants, designed for bur
ning heavy fuel oils of the lowest grade, such centrifuges are an absolute necessity. This applies in particular when heavy
fuel oils with densities of 991 kg/m3 and higher and with viscosities of 700 cSt/50C must be used.
Homogenizers can improve combustion properties to some extent. They will, however, be of no help in the removal of
solids from the fuel oil. They are therefore to be regarded solely as auxiliaries in the treatment plant.
Filters hold back solids of a specified size and shape. They can, however, practically not hold back water. Water will partly
even cause accelerated fouling of filters.

Treatment of heavy fuel oil, heavy fuel oil and diesel fuel oil separation (see Fig. 'A')
As a result of experience we strongly recommend the use of modern centrifuges for the treatment of heavy fuel oils.
The separating effect, i.e. the cleaning effect depends on the throughput and on the viscosity of the heavy fuel oil. As a
general rule, the smaller the throughput (m3/h or ltr/h) and the lower the viscosity of the heavy fuel oil, the better the
separating effect. It necessitates heating the heavy fuel oil before it enters the centrifuge and maintaining the working
temperature at a constant level within a tolerance of ± 2C. The minimum required heatup temperature depends on
the viscosity at 50C of the heavy fuel oil in question. This temperature can be read off the viscosity/temperature dia
gram, please also refer to the instructions of the makers of your centrifuge. For design reasons the admissible heatup
temperature is limited to 98C.
For operation, the instructions of the centrifuge makers are to be followed in the first place.
The sludge removed by centrifuging must be removed periodically from the separator drum. In the case of self cleaning
centrifuges the sequence of the emptying process may be controlled automatically but even in such a plant the correct
function and the frequency of proceedings must be kept in control by the operating personnel. Of utmost importance is
the unimpeded drain of the sludge from the drum, so that unacceptably high back pressure does not impair the function
of separation and thereby of cleaning the heavy fuel oil. This point must be absolutely assured in operation by periodical
inspections.

2. Description of the fuel oil system (see Fig. 'B')


In the described plant the complete fuel system is kept under pressure to prevent the evaporation of any water in the fuel
at the temperature required for the heavy fuel oil.
At the corresponding position of the 3way valve 21, heavy fuel is drawn from the daily tank 2 by the low pressure feed
pump 23 which supplies it to the mixing unit 25. The booster pump 26 takes the fuel from here and delivers it to the
engine fuel injection pumps via endheater 27 and filter 28. The rated capacity of the booster pump 26 is several times
higher than that of the engine fuel consumption rate. Fuel oil not consumed by the engine flows back to the mixing unit
25.

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 1 7.00


0250–1/A1 Operation ZA40S

The required system pressure is set by the pressure regulating valve 31, the pressure at inlet to the fuel injection pumps by
pressure retaining valve 32 (adjusting value see group 0230-1).

Remark The pressure before fuel injection pump must not be adjusted by the bypass valve (normally closed)
at the booster pump 26!

The pump 23 supplies only so much fuel from the daily tank 2 as the engine consumes. The contents of the heavy fuel oil
daily tank 2 must be heated, if necessary. However, the official safety regulations limit the temperature to which it can be
heated.
Only the fuel in the system between the mixing unit 25 and the fuel injection pumps must be heated to the required injec
tion temperature. This is done by the endheater 27. When necessary during preheating, the heating systems of the mi
xing unit 25 and the return pipe can be put on.
The installation should be so laid out with nonreturn valves that no heavy fuel oil can enter the diesel oil daily tank 3.

3. Engine operation with heavy fuel oil


Continuous operation with heavy fuel oil is recommended for engines and plants provided for running on heavy fuel oil.
Changing over from heavy fuel oil to diesel oil operation may only be undertaken when absolutely necessary for example
by:
 Flushing the engine before maintenance works
 Heating plant switched off in the drydock
 Environmental requirements

Recommended viscosity at inlet to the fuel injection pumps


If the fuel viscosity is too high, excessive pressure is produced in the injection system which may cause damage to parts of
the fuel injection pumps, their drive or cause the relief valves to open. At the same time the atomization of the fuel oil is
impaired, which results in partial combustion.
The temperature necessary to ensure that the required viscosity of the fuel before inlet to the injection pumps is reached
can be seen on ViscosityTemperature Diagram 0250-2. This temperature is hereafter referred to as the 'required pre
heating temperature'.
The preheating of the fuel is controlled by a viscosimeter.

Changing over from diesel oil to heavy fuel oil


After changing the threeway valve 21 the result is a mixture of diesel oil and heavy fuel oil in the mixing unit 25. The
viscosimeter controls the endheater 27 in such a way that the required viscosity (preheating temperature) of the mixture
is maintained. This preheating should only be done slowly (temperature rise max. 15C/min.). Sudden temperature
changes can lead to seizure of the fuel injection pump plungers.
The heating for the fuel oil filter 28 as well as for the fuel delivery and return pipes should be kept on, at least until the
'required preheating temperature' (read off at the thermometer before inlet to the injection pumps) is reached.
Check fuel pressure after low pressure feed pump and at injection pump inlet (see group 0230-1).
It is recommended not to exceed 75% CMCR load during changing over and until the required preheating temperature
has been reached.

7.00 2 Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd


ZA40S Operation 0250–1/A1

Changing over from heavy fuel oil to diesel oil


To change over from normal heavy fuel oil service to diesel oil, the three way valve 21 has first of all to be repositioned
accordingly. This results in a mixture of heavy fuel and diesel oil in the mixing unit 25. The viscosity of the circulating
mixture at a certain temperature drops quickly corresponding to the increasing share of diesel oil. After a short period
the heating can be shut off.
It is recommended to changing over from heavy fuel oil to diesel oil operation at less than 50% CMCR power.

Operation with Heavy Fuel Oil for Multi Engine Plant

Heavy fuel oils, as they are supplied today for burning in diesel engines, require a careful treatment which makes the
installation of a suitable plant necessary. According to present techniques the most effective cleaning of liquid fuels from
solids and water is achieved by centrifugal separators.

1. Treatment of heavy fuel oils, treatment plant, presentday treatment equipment and its use
Heavy fuel oils are mostly contaminated with solids and water. Should uncleaned or insufficiently treated heavy fuel oil
enter the engine, it can cause unacceptably rapid wear on engine components like piston rings, cylinder liners, fuel
pumps, fuel valves etc. Furthermore excessive sediment can be formed in the combustion spaces.
Particularly sodium in the fuel oil (which originates from sea water) leads to formation of deposits on pistons and in the
turbocharger. For this reason, water must be separated carefully out of the fuel oil.
Settling tanks are used for the first steps of treatment. However, they only effect a coarse separation, particularly of free
water from the heavy fuel oil. To keep them effective settling tanks must have the sludge and water, accumulating in the
tank bottom, periodically drained off.
The main cleaning is effected by optimally dimensioned and correctly adjusted and operated centrifuges. Modern de
signs render superfluous the previously necessary adaptation of the gravity discs to varying densities of heavy fuel oils in
use. Modern machines automatically expel the sludge from the centrifuge. For modern power plants, designed for bur
ning heavy fuel oils of the lowest grade, such centrifuges are an absolute necessity. This applies in particular when heavy
fuel oils with densities of 991 kg/m3 and higher and with viscosities of 700 cSt/50C must be used.
Homogenizers can improve combustion properties to some extent. They will, however, be of no help in the removal of
solids from the fuel oil. They are therefore to be regarded solely as auxiliaries in the treatment plant.
Filters hold back solids of a specified size and shape. They can, however, practically not hold back water. Water will partly
even cause accelerated fouling of filters.

Treatment of heavy fuel oil, heavy fuel oil and diesel fuel oil separation (see Fig. 'A')
As a result of experience we strongly recommend the use of modern centrifuges for the treatment of heavy fuel oils.
The separating effect, i.e. the cleaning effect depends on the throughput and on the viscosity of the heavy fuel oil. As a
general rule, the smaller the throughput (m3/h or ltr/h) and the lower the viscosity of the heavy fuel oil, the better the
separating effect. It necessitates heating the heavy fuel oil before it enters the centrifuge and maintaining the working
temperature at a constant level within a tolerance of ± 2C. The minimum required heatup temperature depends on
the viscosity at 50C of the heavy fuel oil in question. This temperature can be read off the viscosity/temperature dia
gram, please also refer to the instructions of the makers of your centrifuge. For design reasons the admissible heatup
temperature is limited to 98C.
For operation, the instructions of the centrifuge makers are to be followed in the first place.
The sludge removed by centrifuging must be removed periodically from the separator drum. In the case of self cleaning
centrifuges the sequence of the emptying process may be controlled automatically but even in such a plant the correct
function and the frequency of proceedings must be kept in control by the operating personnel. Of utmost importance is
the unimpeded drain of the sludge from the drum, so that unacceptably high back pressure does not impair the function
of separation and thereby of cleaning the heavy fuel oil. This point must be absolutely assured in operation by periodical
inspections.

2. Description of the fuel oil system (see Fig. 'B')


In the described plant the complete fuel system is kept under pressure to prevent the evaporation of any water in the fuel
at the temperature required for the heavy fuel oil.
At the corresponding position of the 3way valve 21, heavy fuel is drawn from the daily tank 2 by the low pressure feed
pump 23 which supplies it to the mixing unit 25. The booster pump 26 takes the fuel from here and delivers it to the
engine fuel injection pumps via endheater 27 and filter 28. The rated capacity of the booster pump 26 is several times
higher than that of the engine fuel consumption rate. Fuel oil not consumed by the engine flows back to the mixing unit
25.

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 1 2000


0250–1/A2 Operation ZA40S

The required system pressure is set by the pressure regulating valve 32, the pressure at inlet to the fuel injection pumps by
pressure regulating valve 33 (adjusting value see group 0230-1).

Remark The pressure before fuel injection pump must not be adjusted by the bypass valve (normally closed)
at the booster pump 26!

The pump 23 supplies only so much fuel from the daily tank 2 as the engine consumes. The contents of the heavy fuel oil
daily tank 2 must be heated, if necessary. However, the official safety regulations limit the temperature to which it can be
heated.
Only the fuel in the system between the mixing unit 25 and the fuel injection pumps must be heated to the required injec
tion temperature. This is done by the endheater 27. When necessary during preheating, the heating systems of the mi
xing unit 25 and the return pipe can be put on.
The installation should be so laid out with nonreturn valves that no heavy fuel oil can enter the diesel oil daily tank 3.

3. Engine operation with heavy fuel oil


Continuous operation with heavy fuel oil is recommended for engines and plants provided for running on heavy fuel oil.
Changing over from heavy fuel oil to diesel oil operation may only be undertaken when absolutely necessary for example
by:
 Flushing the engine before maintenance works
 Heating plant switched off in the drydock
 Environmental requirements

Recommended viscosity at inlet to the fuel injection pumps


If the fuel viscosity is too high, excessive pressure is produced in the injection system which may cause damage to parts of
the fuel injection pumps, their drive or cause the relief valves to open. At the same time the atomization of the fuel oil is
impaired, which results in partial combustion.
The temperature necessary to ensure that the required viscosity of the fuel before inlet to the injection pumps is reached
can be seen on ViscosityTemperature Diagram 0250-2. This temperature is hereafter referred to as the 'required pre
heating temperature'.
The preheating of the fuel is controlled by a viscosimeter.

Changing over from diesel oil to heavy fuel oil


After changing the threeway valve 21 the result is a mixture of diesel oil and heavy fuel oil in the mixing unit 25. The
viscosimeter controls the endheater 27 in such a way that the required viscosity (preheating temperature) of the mixture
is maintained. This preheating should only be done slowly (temperature rise max. 15C/min.). Sudden temperature
changes can lead to seizure of the fuel injection pump plungers.
The heating for the fuel oil filter 28 as well as for the fuel delivery and return pipes should be kept on, at least until the
'required preheating temperature' (read off at the thermometer before inlet to the injection pumps) is reached.
Check fuel pressure after low pressure feed pump and at injection pump inlet (see group 0230-1).
It is recommended not to exceed 75% CMCR load during changing over and until the required preheating temperature
has been reached.

ZA40S Operation 0250–1/A2

Changing over from heavy fuel oil to diesel oil


To change over from normal heavy fuel oil service to diesel oil, the three way valve 21 has first of all to be repositioned
accordingly. This results in a mixture of heavy fuel and diesel oil in the mixing unit 25. The viscosity of the circulating
mixture at a certain temperature drops quickly corresponding to the increasing share of diesel oil. After a short period
the heating can be shut off.
It is recommended to changing over from heavy fuel oil to diesel oil operation at less than 50% CMCR power.

Operation
Shuttingdown with External Cyl. Lubrication

If it is not necessary to shut down the engine immediately for compelling reasons, the engine load should be reduced
s u c c e s s i v e l y in order to avoid extreme thermal stressing of the component material.
Following shutdown of the engine, the cylinder cooling water system and the lube oil pumps are to be left in operation
for at least 10 minutes to allow an equalization of temperatures within the engine.
Leakages on the engine observed during its operation are to be remedied as quickly as possible after shutdown.

During a stoppage of some duration


The engine running gear should be turned in reasonably short intervals (in dry climates weekly, in very moist climates
daily) the procedure being:
- Open indicator valves;
- Start motor driven lubricating oil pumps;
- Give the crank of the cylinder lubricators about 10  20 turns (see also group 0210-1);
- Start turning gear and rotate crankshaft at least two revolutions.

Measures to be taken after a Shutdown

When the engine is shut down for only a few hours


- Keep the prelubricating pump running.
- Open the indicator valves.
- Do not cool down the engine too much.
- Bar the engine by one turn and shut the indicator valves before starting.

When the engine is shut down for one or several days


- Keep the prelubricating pump running for about 10 minutes to prevent heat congestion.
- Open the indicator valves.
- Stop the circulating pumps, separators etc.
- Shut feed and return piping of cooling water and fuel oil.
- Close shutoff valve of starting air bottle and open the vent of the feed line.
- Shut the feed line of the control air.

When the engine is shut down for a longer period


- Additionally to the measures for one or several days stoppage the following measures must be taken.
- For the charge air cooler the instructions of the cooler manufacturers have to be followed. Should these be missing
we recommend either draining the cooler (sea water) or to let the water(fresh water) circulate daily for about 30
minutes.
- Bar the engine, in dry climate weekly in humid climate daily, with open indicator valves by several turns. During
barring the prelubrication pump should be running.
- If the engine is taken out of service for a long time it must be cleaned carefully inside and outside and preserved.
(Instructions for preservations to be requested from the manufacturers).
- When frost is expected, the cooling spaces must be drained and protected against corrosion.

Special Measures in Operation
Runningin after Inspections or Overhauls with External Cyl. Lubrication

1. General

Attention Replaced piston rings, piston crowns, piston skirts or cylinder liners must be runin.

- A careful runningin is the basis for further satisfactory service, well sealing compression rings and modest wear
of cylinder liners, piston skirts and piston rings.
- It is not permitted to reinstall used piston rings!
- Barred speed ranges (critical speed) must be avoided!
- The engine is supposed to be in full operational readiness, controls and monitoring must function. The same
refers to the installation and ancillary equipment.
- Runningin additives in the lubricating oil or fuel oil are not foreseen.

2. Cylinder lubricating oil for the runningin


a) Engines operating on Diesel Oil (distillate fuel)
When runningin engines which normally operate on diesel oil, the normal lubricating oil recommended in our
lubricant specification should be used.
This is lubricating oil of the viscosity class SAE40 suitable for medium speed engines with trunk pistons.
When diesel fuel oil with a sulphur content of up to 1% or 1 - 2% is used, refer to the recommended lubricating
oil in group 0110-1.
b) Engines operating on Heavy Fuel Oil
If heavy fuel oil is used for runningin, the same lubricating oil should be used which is recommended for normal
operation with heavy fuel oil.
When heavy fuel oil with a sulphur content of 1 - 3% or 3 - 5% is used, refer to the recommended lubricating
oil in group 0110-1.
c) Starting on Diesel Oil and subsequent switching to Heavy Fuel Oil
When a vessel leaves the port or at the startup of a power plant, the engine for practical reasons is started up on
diesel fuel instead of heavy fuel oil. During the runningin, the operation on diesel fuel should be kept as short
as possible and the changeover to heavy fuel should be carried out at the latest before reaching 50% of nominal
load or load step 4 (see runningin programme item 4).
If a longer period of diesel fuel operation is envisaged, a cylinder lubricant must be used as indicated in para
graph a) and the lubricators would have to be filled up or refilled by hand in such a case.
If a longer period of diesel fuel operation is envisaged, a cylinder lubricant must be used as indicated in para
graph a) and the lubricators would have to be filled up or refilled by hand in such a case.

3. Cylinder lubricating oil flow quantity for runningin


The engine is equipped with a l o a d d e p e n d e n t cylinder lubricating system, i.e. depending on the load
position of the regulating shaft, the cylinder is supplied with a larger specific lubricant quantity (at 25% load) or a
reduced specific lubricant quantity (at 100% load).
For the runningin period of the individual cylinder components or of the complete engine, the lubricating oil
quantity must be larger. To achieve this the respective setting screws on the cylinder lubricators are to be set for
maximum delivery stroke (turn anticlockwise to the stop X = O) (see group 7200-1).

Operation 0300–1/A1

Reduced runningin ( exceptional case )


If it is absolutely essential that the engine be brought back into service with a faster load increase than in the pre
ceding table, the full charge of the cylinder to be runin should be reduced to 50% for at least 4 hours and to 75% for
a further 6 hours.
The limiting of the fuel charge can be done by putting the distance piece (tool no. 9455.11) on the regulating rack
between the fuel injection pump housing and clamp ring of the respective cylinder (similar to what is done to cut
out the fuel injection pump completely (see group 5501-1).
The barred speed and load ranges for service with one or more cylinders not firing have also to be adhered to when
running under the previously mentioned conditions (see group 0310-1).
At the same time, the engine should not operate with a surging turbocharger or with too high exhaust tempera
tures.

5. Reduction of the cylinder lubricant flow quantity after runningin


After completion of the runningin programme the lubricating oil supply to the overhauled cylinder has to be kept
increased for about another 100 operating hours at service load. Only after this time have the setting screws to be
turned back in steps within 24 hours to the normal X value as specified in the setting table (see group 7200-1).

Operation under Abnormal Conditions
With a Fuel Injection Pump Cut Out or Driving Mechanism Removed with Internal Cyl. Lubrication

Operation with a fuel injection pump cut out


The regulating rack of the fuel pump is to be withdrawn to zerodelivery and arrested in this position with the special
spacer (tool No. 9455.11), (see group 5501-1).
Should an engine have to be operated with one fuel injection pump cutout, one has to consider that vibration pro
blems might arise. It is therefore essential in every case to verify by what degree the speed and load must be reduced so
that no consequential damage may be caused by the formation of resonant vibrations.
These investigations have been carried out by the engine manufacturer when all the components for the vibration
calculation are known to them (engine specification, coupling, gearbox, shaft power and propeller). The vibration cal
culation is included in the 'Engine Documentation', their instructions must be strictly observed.
When operating over a long period with a fuel pump cutout, the indicator valve on the respective cylinder head is to be
opened hourly to allow any accumulated oil to be emitted. Opening the indicator valve must be done with the utmost
care, and the oil spray to be caught by suitable means or to be directed towards the drain tank.

Operation with driving mechanism removed


Should an engine have to be operated with a removed driving mechanism the same conditions apply as described abo
ve.

For operation with removed driving mechanism the following work must be carried out:
- Remove piston with connecting rod and connecting rod big end.
- Block lubricating oil outlet from crank pin with suitable bandage.
- Fit cylinder head without push rods to rocker arms.
- Block starting air pipe between flame arrestor housing and cylinder head.
- Disconnect control air to starting valve and plug pipe with a closing piece.
- Cut out fuel injection pump concerned (see group 5501-1).
- In all cases where the engine must run with cylinders cutout, it may no longer be operated at full power.

To prevent a thermal overloading of the engine the full load position of the load indicator (LI) or the maximum ex
haust gas temperatures before turbine (see group 0230-1) may under no circumstance be exceeded. Furthermore the
colour of the exhaust gases must always be observed, as the engine should not be operated with dark exhaust.
The engine power and engine speed have to be correspondingly reduced, keeping in mind any barredspeed ranges at
critical speeds.
When individual cylinders are cutout the turbocharger can start 'surging' what is audible as a loud 'baying/panting'
sound. Surging is also visible by the large amplitudes of the pointer in the pressure gauge for the scavenge air.
Should the 'surging' occur at short intervals or even continuously, the speed (with fixed pitch propeller installations) or
the propeller pitch (with controllable pitch propeller installations) has to be suitably reduced.
Operation with one or more running gears removed should only be practised in extreme cases of emergency, i.e. where
there is no other possibility for the vessel to proceed under its own steam.

Operation 0320–1/A1
Operation under Abnormal Conditions
Operation with Defective Charge Air Cooler

Operating the engine with a defective charge air cooler is strictly not recommended.
If the tubes of the Charge Air Cooler (CAC for short) are defective, the cooling medium can enter the working cylin
ders of the engine. Should water flow out from the drain pipes of the CAC it must be established whether this is con
densate (precipitation at high humidity of the air) or cooling water (leakage in the CAC or leaking Orings of the cylin
der liners).
With these charge air coolers a leakage of the cooling tubes is practically not to be expected, as they are operated with
treated cooling water.
Should a cooler defect occur just the same, then the following measures should be taken:
- In the fitted condition block off the defective cooling tubes by suitable means (see Maintenance Manual group
6601-1).
- As soon as operation permits, remove the defective cooler and fit in its place the spare cooler.

Operation 0330–1/A1

Operation under Abnormal Conditions


Operation with Defective Turbocharger

Upon failure of the turbocharger the engine must be shut down as quickly as possible to avoid worse damage.
Should repair or replacement of a turbocharger not be immediately possible, then the engine can be run in 'Emergency
Operation' at reduced load (according to limiting values) and after the measures below have been taken.
In the mentioned 'Emergency Operation' the engine should basically run only as long as absolutely necessary.

Measures
 Block the rotor of the defective turbocharger as described in the turbocharger manual.
 Remove cover at the charge air space, and provide suitable measures so that foreign particles cannot be sucked
through the unprotected openings.
 If a turbocharger casing is cracked, the cooling water inlet and return pipes must be blanked off.

Attention
When the engine is operated with a defective turbocharger, the exhaust gas temperature after cylinder and before
turbine must under no circumstances be higher than for full load operation (see group 0230-1 and shop trial docu
ments).
This means that a well maintained engine may be operated at about 15 to 20% load.

Remark The temperature must be continuously checked to prevent the max. limiting values from being ex
ceeded by reducing the load in time.

Operation under Abnormal Conditions


Measures for Prevention of Crankcase Explosions

Investigations into the causes of crankcase explosions with diesel engines have shown that they can only occur under
particular conditions and, therefore, are extremely rare.
The oil mist in the crankcase is inflammable over a very narrow range of mixture only. There must always be an extra
neous cause to set off ignition such as hot engine components. Only under these circumstances and the presence of a
critical mixture ratio of oil mist and air can an explosion occur.
If required the engine will be equipped with an oil mist detector (see group 9314-1), which continuously monitors the
density of oil mist in the crankcase and, depending on the installation, triggers an alarm or stops the engine if the oil
mist exceeds the admissible density.
Good engine maintenance and deliberate action in cases of an alarm rule out explosions to a large degree.

Measures to be taken in case of an alarm


 Get a way from the engine, risk of explosion!
 Reduce engine speed (power) immediately.
 As soon as conditions allow, stop the engine.
 Find cause and remedy as far as possible (check bearings, visual inspection of the cylinder liners).

Attention Should the engine be shut down (manually or by the monitoring unit) because of a suspected over
heating of a running gear, then neither the covers nor the casings of the crankcase may be opened
immediately and allow no one in the vicinity of the explosion relief valves!

The overheated parts must cool down for at least 20 minutes, to prevent ignition from access of
fresh air.
Fire extinguishing equipment should be kept close at hand when the crankcase or engine housing is
subsequently opened.

Clearance and Wear Table

The normal clearances given in the following clearance and wear tables correspond to those resulting from manufactu
ring tolerances or clearances as adjusted on the new engine.
The laid down maximum clearances resp. max/min. dimensions are such values as may be reached after a lengthy opera
ting period, which however may not be allowed to be exceeded or fall below. On components where the clearance is
adjustable by modifying the thickness of shims, discs, spacers etc. the value given as 'Normal Clearance' should always be
arrived at, or striven to attain. Where this is not possible, worn parts must be replaced by standard new ones or recondi
tioned by suitable material buildup.
If during an overhaul clearances are measured which almost have reached the permissible limit it must be left to indivi
dual judgement to decide whether a component part should be replaced or remain fitted till the next overhaul. This de
pends for example from the duration of the next operation period till the next overhaul and what wear has to be expected
based on experience made.

Taking Lubricating Oil Samples for Laboratory Analysis

In the course of time, even the best quality lubricating oil tends to change it properties due to ageing, oxidation and con
tamination. Therefore in intervals of approx. 3000 operating hours a sample should be taken from the engine lubricating
oil and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The sample must be taken from the oil in circulation and at normal service tem
perature from a cock specially fitted for this purpose, and which is situated at the inlet of the main lubricating oil pipe into
the engine.
Before taking the sample, drain about 2 litres into a container to remove any possible dirt accumulation in the drain cock.
Now remove the sample oil (about 1 litre) from the engine into an absolutely clean container (glass is best).
Mark the container with the oil sample with the following data:

- Name of Vessel or Plant

- Engine type

- Engine No. or cylinder No.

- Date of sampling

- Operating hours of lubricating oil and of engine

- Oil brand

Monitoring the lubricating oil

The condition of the lubricating oil charge or its alteration during operation can be assessed on the basis of some analysis
data. With regular checks a deterioration can be detected at an early stage and remedial measures taken.
The test should at least cover the following characteristics:
- Viscosity
- Flash point
- BN
- Insolubles
- Water content and nature of water
Possibly also contamination by fuel and metal content might be included.
The significance of such analysis results can best be assessed if they are considered as a whole and in relation to the past
analytical history of the oil.
In the course of time, even the best quality lubricating oil changes its properties in such a way that a change of the oil
charge must be considered. However, it is not possible to give a fixed time interval for this purpose since this is influenced
by the operating conditions and the efficiency of the oil treatment.
A rather sudden change of one or the other of these parameters can indicate abnormal operating conditions or failures
in the system. In such a case it would be of little help just to change the oil without investigating the cause.
The values for used lubricating oil indicated in the relevant group 0110-1 of the Operating Manual are given for general
guidance. Normally, the oil is still fit for further use if the parameters are within the limits indicated.

Operation 0360–1/A1
Mooring Trials
After Major Overhauls

After a major overhaul, it is advisable to run the engine for some time with a coupled propeller at about 60 % full load.
This enables the usual checks on the running gear to be carried out with a minimum of inconvenience.
If, however, the ship's berth does not permit such a mooring trial, the engine can be operated at lower loads with disen
gaged transmission.
The following precautions are to be taken before the engine is started:
1. Observe the guide lines in group 02101 concerning 'Starting after a long stoppage'.
2. The engine may not be started if: The governor is disconnected from the regulating linkage, if the governor is
blocked, incorrectly adjusted or defective.
3. Control that the wastegate is closed.
4. .For starting and running the engine, until it is proved that the engine control and monitoring works properly, one
engineer should constantly remain at the engine control stand (specially with disengaged transmission) to stop the
engine with the hand lever should it prove necessary.
5. The engine speed is to be kept under constant observation.
6. During operation, one should also listen for any unusual noises.
7. Barred speed ranges must be passed through as quick as possible.
8. Before the engine is put into continuous operation, check the pneumatic overspeed cutout for proper function.

Tools: Key to Illustrations:


Spanner 1 Upper edge of engine DF Sealing surface
Cleaning materials housing RR Annular space
2 Cylinder head stud
3 Sealing compound

The cylinder head studs 2, studs for short, must be protected against corrosion at the lower end. The annular space 'RR'
and the stud shank must be fully sealed off with a suitable sealing compound, without cavities, up to about the level of the
upper edge of the engine housing 1 (see illustration).

Remark - No filling material may be added to the sealing compound.


- Only use a compound which will allow the studs to be unscrewed again without difficulty.

Working procedure during fitting and sealing

- Other than the corrosion protection oil already supplied, no lubricant or 2


locking agent may be applied to the threads of the stud 2.
1
- Thoroughly clean and degrease the sealing surfaces 'DF' before fitting 3
(e.g. with white spirit).
- Prime the sealing surfaces 'DF' with primer according to the manufac
turer's instructions. DF
- Screw in the studs and tighten with a torque of 50-200 Nm. Utilize al
ways stud driver or two locked nuts. Tools like pipe wrench etc. which
would damage the stud shank must never be used. RR
- As a sealant we recommend the following two component silicon com
pounds.
- Fill the annular space 'RR' completely. In order to allow the sealing
compound to be poured above the level of the top of the engine housing
1, a ring of cardboard, putty or similar having an internal diameter of
about 60 mm has to be laid around the stud shank until the sealing com
pound has fully set. This is particularly important for ZAVS engines.

To loosen and pretension transverse tie rods and main bearing studs for the removal and fitting of the main bearings
proceed as follows:

Removal Fitting
1. Loosen both transverse tie rods 1. Press bearing cover upwards (group 1201-2)
simultaneously and hand fit round nuts
2. Loosen both main bearing stud nuts 2. Screwin transverse tie rods
simultaneously
3. Unscrew transverse tie rods 3. Pretension both main bearing stud nuts
simultaneously
4. Lower bearing cover (group 1201-2) 4. Pretension both transverse tie rods
simultaneously

Remarks
- If all the crankshaft main bearings must be removed, loosen first all the transverse tie rods. If only one of the main
bearings must be removed, loosen the transverse tie rods of the specific bearing and also the transverse tie rods in the
immediate vicinity, otherwise it is difficult to lower and later lift back the bearing cover.
- When screwingon the piston 16 or 7 of the cylinder 13 or 6 respectively of the pretension jack (Fig. 'A1' and 'A2'), the
oil is being pushed back to the hydraulic hand pump. To permit the oil to flow back open the relief valve of the hydrau
lic hand pump 9408.02 and connect the pretensioning jacks with the hydraulic hand pump by HP hoses.
If you want to screw the piston on without draining the oil to the hydraulic hand pump open the nonreturn valve on
the hose socket of the pretensioning jack by pressing it inwards. The oil will then flow out.
- Before actuating the hydraulic hand pump make sure that the hose couplings are all completely tightened otherwise
the nonreturn valve may not open, preventing oil from reaching the pretensioning jacks, thus not achieving correct
pretensioning.

L o o s e n i n g the transverse tie rods

Working procedure: (Fig. 'A' and 'A1')


- Remove protection cap from transverse tie rod.
- Clean connecting surface of the disc 11 and screw one pretensioning jack 9427.01 on each opposing transverse tie rod
3, till the cylinders 13 land on the discs 11.
- Using special spanner 9431.03 screw the pistons 16 into the cylinders until they land.
- Screw both pretensioning jacks back again until a gap of 2 mm appears between the cylinder 13 and the discs 11.

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 1 1995


1201–1/A1 Maintenance ZA40S

- Build up a pressure of 600 to 620 bar with the hydraulic hand pump 9408.02 and maintain this pressure constant until
the two round nuts 12 have been loosened (with the round bar 9427.01a) by 4-5 hole spacings on the nuts circumfer
ence.
- Relieve the pressure by opening the relief valve on the hydraulic hand pump, until the pressure gauge shows 'zero'.
- Remove pretensioning jacks and also the round nuts.

L o o s e n i n g the crankshaft main bearing studs

Please refer to notes on the obverse page!

Working procedure: (Fig. 'A' and 'A2')


- Use lifting device 9412.10 (Fig. 'B') to screw one pretensioning jack each onto the two main bearing studs 4 until the
jack cylinders 6 are resting against the bearing cover 1.
- Screwin the pistons 7 with the round bar 9410.01a until they land.
- Screw back both pretensioning jacks until a gap of 2 mm appears between the cylinder 6 and the bearing cover 1.
- Buildup a pressure of 600 to 620 bar with the hydraulic hand pump 9408.02 and keep pressure constant until you have
unscrewed both round nuts 5 by 4-5 hole spacings (on nut circumference) by using the round bar 9410.01a.
- Relieve the pressure by opening the relief valve on the hydraulic hand pump, until the pressure gauge shows 'zero'.
- Remove the pretensioning jacks with the aid of the lifting device 9412.10 and screw the two round nuts 5 by about 130
to 140 mm downwards! (For the further procedure to lower the bearing cover please refer to group 1201-2).

Attention
It is important to unscrew the round nuts as described for both the transverse tie rods and the bearing cover studs. If the
round nuts are unscrewed too much, the jacks cannot be removed as they jam against the round nuts.
If the round nuts are unscrewed too little, they cannot be loosened after releasing, as the transverse tie rod studs or main
bearing studs are still under pretension.

P r e  t e n s i o n i n g main bearing studs

Conditions at start of pretensioning:


- The bearing covers are fitted according to the instructions in group 1201-2 and are held by two round nuts 5.
- The transverse tie rods of the respective bearing as well as of the neighbouring bearings are not yet pretensioned.
- The threads of the main bearing studs must not be lubricated with MOLYKOTE paste.

Working procedure of pretensioning:


- After the bearing cover is pressed upwards till fully seated against the engine housing (see group 1201-2) and held in
place by both round nuts 5, screw the two pretensioning jacks 9410.01 onto the two main bearing studs with the aid of
the lifting device 9412.10 (Fig. 'B') till their cylinders 6 are resting against the bearing cover 1.
- Connect the pretensioning jacks to the hydraulic hand pump 9408.02 with the HP hoses 9408.09, open relief valve
and screw the pistons 7, using round bar 9410.01a, into the cylinders 6 until they land.
- Close the relief valve of the hydraulic hand pump and pretension the main bearing studs initially at a pressure of 600
bar. Hold this pressure constant. Subsequently the pressure has to be reduced to 200 bar and kept at this level, till the
round nut 5 has been tightened firmly till full seating (check seating with the feeler gauge). With the above mentioned
procedure a full seating of all bearing components is ensured.

Crankshaft Main Bearing


Replacement of Crankshaft Main Bearing Shells (Standard Shell Bearing)

Tools: Key to Illustrations:


1 Hydraulic hand pump 9408.02 1 Main bearing cover 19 Counterweight
with accessories 2 Engine housing 20 Upper shell
2 HP hoses 9408.09 3 Transverse tie rod 21 Lower shell
2 Hydraulic jacks 9408.36 4 Main bearing studs 22 Crankshaft
1 Hydraulic jacks 9408.38 5 Round nut 23 Oil sump
2 Supports 9410.02
1 Segment ZAVS 9412.01
1 Segment ZALS 9412.08

Condition at the start of work

- Transverse tie rods and main bearing studs of the bearing to be removed as well as the transverse tie rods of the two
adjacent main bearings have been slackened (refer to group 1201-1).
- The transverse tie rods oft he bearing to be removed have been unscrewed and removed.

Working procedure

- Screw the two round nuts 5 downwards, until a space of about 130 mm has been provided between the lower edge of
the bearing cover and the connecting face of the nut (see Fig. 'A').
- Fasten the two supports 9410.02 to the bearing cover 1 with two screws.
- Place two hydraulic jacks 9408.36 between the supports and the counterweight 19, and connect them to the hand
pump 9408.02 by HP hoses.
- Actuate the pump to push the bearing cover from its guided position. After pressing it for about 110 mm the bearing
cover will slide down onto the round nuts 5 by its own weight.
- Remove the two hydraulic jacks and the two supports 9410.02 from the engine. The supports must on no account be
left fitted to the bearing cover as the counterweights 19 would knock against them causing damage, when turning the
engine (Fig. 'B' and 'C').
- Place a hydraulic jack 9408.38 under the bearing cover and connect it to the hand pump. The bearing cover and the
bottom of the oil sump have been provided with drilled recesses into which the hydraulic jacks fit.
- Actuate the pump to lift the bearing cover sufficiently off the round nuts to permit unscrewing them for the main
bearing studs.
- Open the venting valve 'EV' of the hand pump allowing the bearing cover to descend as much as the jack permits.

Removing the bearing shells (Fig. 'C')

- In this position, the lower bearing shell 21, descending with the bearing cover, can be checked and if necessary be
removed.
- The upper bearing shell 20 can be pushed out using the segment 9412.01 or 9412.08. Clean the segment well, press it
against the journal and at the same time upwards against the bearing shell.

Attention Safeguard the upper shell by hand, to prevent it from falling out when pressing it out with the seg
ment.

Judging the bearing shells for possibility of reuse

the possibility of reusing a bearing shell depends in principle on the condition of its running surface. Please refer in this
matter to the recommendations in group 0003-2.

Fitting the bearing shells (Fig. 'C')

Remark Never reduce the clearance by filling the mating faces of the bearing shells. The ends of the bearing
shells protrude somewhat over the faces of the bearing cover or the bearing saddle. This is meant to
be and is absolutely necessary!

- Push the upper bearing shell, with well lubricated running surface but dry back, by hand between journal and bearing
saddle bore, until its mating surfaces are equally spaced on both sides. If the shell cannot be easily pushed in, assist the
fitting by pressing the crankshaft slightly in the required direction using a hydraulic jack.
- Place the lower bearing shell with dry back and well lubricated running surface into the bearing cover.
- Using the hydraulic jack 9408.38, press the bearing cover 1 upwards to the stop in the engine housing.
- Fit the two round nuts 5 onto the main bearing studs 4 till they are landed on the bearing cover. Remove the hydraulic
jack.
- Fit the two transverse tie rods 3 into the bearing cover 1.
- Proceed with pretensioning the main bearing studs and the transverse tie rods in accordance with the instructions in

1202–1/A1 Maintenance ZA40S

Check the condition of the bearing shells and thrust ring halves in accordance with the instructions in the Maintenance
Schedule or according to the prescribed intervals of the classification society. Within a period of 5 years all the bearings
must have been inspected at least once.
Whether a bearing shell may be reinstalled, depends mainly on the condition of its running surface. Please refer to
group 0003-2 for respective information.

Thrust ring halves

For these parts the same recommendations apply as for the bearing shells, i.e. only such thrust ring halves may be re
used, which are in good condition. It is also of the greatest importance that the ring halves are refitted in the same loca
tion from where they were removed.
When removing the thrust ring halves, the shaft shoulders must also be inspected; they must be smooth and clean.

Oversize thrust ring halves

If the shoulder of the thrust bearing shaft, which was subjected to the load during operation, has become rough and has
therefore to be remachined, then oversize thrust ring halves have to be fitted.
When remachining the shoulder as little material as possible should be removed, but the distance between shaft shoul
ders must, after machining, correspond to one of the ('steps') dimensions 'L' in the table below.
Oversize thrust ring halves have to be selected in accordance with the dimension 'L' and they have, without fail, to be
fitted on that side where the shoulder had been remachined! Shaft shoulder and locating ring half must be marked ac
cordingly.

Removing the bearing shells and the thrust ring halves

Working sequence: (follow Fig. 'A' on preceding page)


- Loosen the screws 15 of the oil catcher upper part 6 and remove. Separate oil catcher upper part 6 from the bearing
housing upper part 7; use jack screws if necessary.
- Remove all the screws 11 of the bearing housing upper part 7 and loosen the two thrust bearing screws 12 in two or
three equal steps and remove.
- Fit an eye bolt (M16) into the treaded hole 'GL' in the bearing housing upper part 7 and lift the housing upper part off
(about 80 kg).
- Remove both upper thrust ring halves 2 as well as the upper bearing shell.
- Adjust a (micrometer) dial gauge 23 on the top of the thrust bearing shaft (Fig. 'B'). Place a hydraulic jack 25 under the
flywheel and with it lift the shaft by about 0.15 mm (Fig. 'C'). Take care that the shaft remains radially in the centre!
- Use segment 9412.08 - pressing it against the shaft - to push the lower bearing shell out (Fig. 'B') and remove it.
- Use mandrel 9412.09 to press both thrust bearing ring halves 2a out till you can lift them out.

Attention Before you attempt to pull the lower bearing shell or the lower thrust ring halves 2a out, check and
ensure that the shaft does not push axially against one of the thrust rings. If necessary shift the crank
shaft axially in the appropriate direction. The shaft must also be equally spaced in the centre radially,
as otherwise the bearing shell is jammed and can only be removed with difficulty.

Fitting the bearing shells and the thrust ring halves (Fig. 'A', 'B' and 'C')

- Clean thrust bearing shaft 4 and the bore of bearing housing lower part 1 carefully, lubricate the shaft journal lightly.
- Check whether the bearing shells and the thrust ring halves are undamaged.
- Check whether the crankshaft is in such a position that sufficient space is available axially to fit the thrust ring halves.
If necessary shift the crankshaft slightly axially.
- Using hydraulic jack 25 under the flywheel lift it and the shaft until the (micrometer) dial gauge 23 mounted above the
shaft journal shows 0.15 mm (Fig. 'B'). Take great care that the journal is radially in the centre.
- Push the lower bearing shell as well as the two lower thrust ring halves by hand as far as possible between shaft journal
and housing bore. Ensure that the bearing surface of the thrust ring halves lie against the corresponding shaft shoul
der.
- Press segment 9412.08 against the shaft journal and slip in the lower bearing shell until the dividing faces protrude by
the same amount on both sides.
- Slide both thrust bearing ring halves in with the aid of mandrel 9412.09 until the dividing faces protrude by the same
amount on both sides.
- Release the pressure in jack 25 under the flywheel and remove the tools.
- Apply oil lavishly on the shaft journal; use new engine oil.
- Apply sealing compound to the engine side of the bearing housing upper part. (Also a very thin coat of sealing com
pound on the horizontal separating faces).
- Place the upper bearing shell 3 and the upper thrust ring halves 2 into the bearing housing upper part and secure them
with the locating pins 5.
Fitting condition: Bearing shell on its rear side dry, on the running surface coated with oil, bore of the thrust bearing
housing upper part dry.

Important! Before fitting them apply MOLYKOTE paste Gn to the threads and landing faces of the screws 11
and 12, as the tightening torque values are only valid if this lubricant is used.

- Fit bearing housing upper part 7 and fasten to the engine end plate with the screws 11 uniformly, at first only lightly
with about 100 Nm.
- Fit and tighten uniformly the two screws 12 in several equal steps with a torque wrench to 780 Nm. If you use the force
multiplier contained in the engine tools, the tightening value is 220 Nm.
- Check that no clearance exists between the bearing housing upper and lower part.
- Tighten the screws 12 with a torque wrench to the final value of 1230 Nm or when using the force multiplier to 350 Nm.
- Finally tighten the screws 11 also in several equal steps to the final value of 740 Nm.
- Measure the axial clearance of the crankshaft with the thrust ring halves fitted, by pressing the crankshaft with a hy
draulic jack alternately into both end positions. The axial movement is measured with a dial gauge (please refer to
Clearance and Wear Table 0352-1).
- Finally lock the screws 11 in pairs with locking wire (Fig. 'A').

Loosening and tensioning of studs 26 (Fig. 'E')

Loosening

- Clean the contact faces of the hydraulic jacks.

- Screw the hydraulic jacks 9433.01 onto the studs 26 till their cylinders 29 rest on the bearing housing upper part 7.

- Connect the hydraulic jacks by HP hoses 9408.09 with the hydr. hand pump 9408.02.

- Open relief valve on hydr. hand pump, and screw the pistons 28 of the hydraulic jacks in, till they land on the cylinders
of the hydraulic jacks (see Fig. 'E').

- Now turn the hydraulic jacks back a little until a gap of about 2-3 mm appears between the pretensioning jack and
the bearing housing upper part.

- Build up a pressure of 600 bar (or a little more) with the hydr. hand pump and unscrew the two nuts of the studs by
about 4-5 hole intervals.

- Release the pressure to 'zero' and remove the hydraulic jacks.

Tensioning

- Clean the contact faces of the nuts 27, screw them on and tighten them with the round bar 9433.01a until landed.
- Screw hydraulic jacks 9433.01 onto the studs 26 till their cylinders 29 are landed.
- Connect the jacks with the hydr. hand pump 9408.02 by the HP hoses 9408.09.

- Open relief valve on hydr. hand pump, and screw the pistons 28 of the hydraulic jacks in, till they land on the cylinders
29 of the hydraulic jacks (see Fig. 'E').
- Build up a pressure of 100 bar with the hydr. hand pump and keep this pressure constant.
- Tighten the round nuts 27 with the round bar until they are firmly seated (check seating with feeler gauge).
- Release the pressure to 40 bar.
- Measure protrusion 'X' of piston 28 and make a note of it (see Fig. 'E').
- Raise tensioning pressure to 600 bar. Keep this pressure constant and tighten the nuts 27 with the round bar until they
are firmly seated (check seating).
- Release pressure to 40 bar and measure protrusion 'X1' of piston on both hydraulic jacks and make a note of it. When
the waisted studs are correctly pretensioned the elongation amounts to: X1 - X = 1.0 ± 0.1 mm.
- If the measured elongation deviates considerably from the above figure, repeat the whole tensioning procedure.
- Release the pressure to 'zero' and remove the hydraulic jacks.

Covers and Safety Explosion Flap Valves

The safety (relief) valves or explosion flap valves are mounted to the covers 3 of the crankcase (see Fig. 'A' and 'B').
The number of covers with safety valves as well as their arrangement is determined by the reguirments of the classifica
tion societies and may therefore not be altered.
In case of a possible crankcase explosion the safety valve already opens at a differential pressure (interior/exterior) of
0.1 bar and allows the hot gases or flames to escape sideways. By the restoring force of the compression spring 9 the
valve is immediately shut again by means of the spring carrier 8, thus shutting off the entry of fresh air into the crankca
se and preventing further explosions.

Attention If a crankcase explosion has been observed the engine must be stopped immediately. Do not open
any covers to the crankcase until the engine has cooled down for at least 20 minutes and allow no
one in the vicinity of the safety valves.

Later the cause of the crankcase explosion has to be found (see also group 0350-1).
Depending on the engine equipment various makes of safety valves may be fitted on the engine.
The cover 3 must always be fitted with both feet 'DF' towards the bottom of the engine housing 4.

Measuring Wear and Remachining of Cylinder Liner Bore

Tools: Key to Illustrations:

1 Measuring tool 9421.03 2 Top piston ring
1 Setting gauge 9421.03a
1 Wear ridge milling tool 9421.09
1 Carbon removing machine 9421.10
(for carbon removal in upper
part of cylinder liner)
1 Honing machine 9421.11

The wear of the cylinder liners should be checked during every overhaul or whenever a piston is removed. Always mea
sure cylinder liners in situ and when engine is cooled down.
To permit comparisons with previous measures it is inevitable that measuring is always done in the same place and that
the measured values are noted in a log.
To this end always use the measuring rail 9421.02 (Fig. 'A') which is available in the engine tools. It is so designed that it
can simply be hooked over the top face of the liner. Measure at the four points A, B, C and D in the engine axis and at
right angles to it.
Avoid measuring errors by preventing the measuring tool 9421.03 being exposed to large temperature variations. The
setting gauge 9421.03a must be used for calibrating the measuring tool.
Generally the most important wear occurs at point 'A'. For maximum permissible inside diameter please refer to Clear
ance Table group 0352-1.

2105–1/A1 Maintenance ZA40S

After a long operating time a socalled wear ridge appears in the top part of the running surface. During overhaul this
wear ridge must be ground off carefully with the wear ridge milling tool 9421.09 without damaging the running surface in
any way. It is possible that the wear ridge must be removed to permit withdrawal of the piston. If this is the case, lower the
piston by barring the engine and cover the piston and the liner surface above it carefully to prevent any foreign particles
from penetrating between piston and cylinder liner.
For removal of the wear ridge on the cylinder liner milling tool 9421.09 must always be used. The removal of wear ridges
should be carried out after the first piston removal and after the first replacement of piston rings, whereby the machi
ning has to be done as shown in Fig. 'B'.
A repetition of the machining of the wear ridge may be necessary after a longer operating period or after replacing a
piston.
After completing the remachining, the cylinder liner bore must be cleaned very carefully in order to avoid scratch marks
on the piston.
On cylinder liners which are provided with a fine thread in the uppermost portion, the hard combustion residue must be
removed prior to pulling the piston. For removal of the combustion residue the carbon removing machine 9421/10 must
be used (Fig. 'C'). For this work the space above the piston has to be well covered, so that no combustion residue can
enter between piston and cylinder liner bore.
In order to avoid damaging the fine thread it is necessary to carefully centre it in the cylinder liner 1, before starting ma
chine 9421/10.
When removing combustion residue, be sure to pay attention not to damage the fine thread. Combustion residue within
the thread itself has not to be removed.
Avoid removing combustion residue by using wire brushes, scrapers, pointed utensils etc.
After having removed the combustion residue, the inner diameter of the cylinder liner in the region of the fine thread
must measure Ø 400 +0
-0.1
mm.

After having removed the combustion residue, the cylinder liner bore must be thoroughly cleaned.
Should a piston have been removed and equipped with new piston rings and oil scraper rings, then the cylinder liner bore
must be honed with the honing machine 9421.11. Possible hard wear areas must be levelled by honing. During this work,
it isabsolutely necessary to prevent machining residues from entering the crankcase. To prevent this, the best means is to
place a suitablle dirty oil catcher bowl into the crankcase of the respective cylinder.
After honing, the cylinder liner bore has to be washed with clean Diesel fuel or kerosine using a clean paint brush.

Attention Reworking of the cylinder liner's running surface may only be carried out by honing. Under no cir
cumstances may the bore of cylinder liner be simply cylindrically rebored by turning out, as other
wise the guidance of the piston is impeded.

Note For the utilization of the honing machine mentioned above, the working instruction of the respective
manufacturer must be followed.

A major overhaul includes a thorough check of the cylinder heads. This also covers an inspection of the cooling water
spaces. When treated cooling water is used these spaces generally remain clear. Untreated cooling water, however,
usually causes scale formation which impairs the cooling effect. For the removal of this scale we recommend consulting a
specialist firm for chemical descaling.
The surfaces in contact with the combustion must be inspected for cracks. If cracks are suspected, and also after replac
ing valve seats and insert bushes, the water spaces have to be subjected to a water pressure test (7 bar), (please refer to
group 2701-6).
Valve seats with water side leakage must be replaced. Damaged seat surfaces have to be reconditioned (please refer to
instruction in groups 2701-2 and 2701-3 respectively).
The Orings 7 of the valve guide bushes 8 must be replaced at each overhaul. The same applies to damaged or badly worn
valve guide bushes 8 (please refer to group 2701-5).
Leaking insert bushes 22, also badly damaged ones, must be replaced (please refer to group 2701-4).
Uneven or slightly damaged insert bushes 22 can be reconditioned with the aid of tool 9427.10 and the prescribed grin
ding/lapping paste (please refer to group 2701-4).
If the seating surface for the soft iron gasket between cylinder head and cylinder liner is damaged it can be reconditioned
with the help of lapping device tool No. 9421.01 and grinding/lapping paste. The same tool can be used for seating surfa
ces of cylinder head and cylinder liner.

R e m o v i n g a cylinder head

Preparations:
- Drain the cylinder cooling water from the engine and shut the shutoff cocks for the fuel valve cooling water.
- Bar the crankshaft to bring the piston of the respective cylinder to T.D.C. on the firing stroke. This means the inlet and
exhaust valves are closed.
- Loosen the nuts 1 of the rocker arm cowling 2 in even steps and lift the cowling 2 with the help of lifting device 9427.34
(please refer to Fig. 'J').
- Remove both push rods 16 and the screws 14 holding the connecting piece 13.

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 1 1995


2701–1/A1 Maintenance ZA40S

- Unscrew and remove HPfuel pipe 18 and plug the openings on the fuel valve as well as in the HPfuel pipe, using clean
cloth. Separate all other pipe connections (exhaust, air, etc.) from the cylinder head.
- Remove the thread protecting caps 3 and clean the thread of the cylinder head studs 4 and the area around the stud
nuts on the top of the cylinder head.

L o o s e n i n g the cylinder head stud nuts (Fig. 'C')

Remarks When screwing the pistons 31 of the jacks 9427.01 onto the stud thread (Fig. 'D') the oil is pressed
out of the cylinder and can return to the pump when the HPhoses are correctly connected to the
jack, whereby the nonreturn valve on the jack is opened. If this valve is pressed in by hand on the
unconnected jack the oil can flow out.

Do not start pumping before all the hose couplings are correctly and firmly joined otherwise oil may
not enter the jacks as the nonreturn valve does not open.

Working procedure:
- Fit a jack 9427.01 on each of the 8 cylinder head studs, until the cylinders 32 touch the cylinder head of the engine at
'S'. Continue screwing the pistons 31 in until they are at 'B' flush with the jack cylinders 32. Then unscrew the complete
jacks until at 'S' a gap of about 2 mm exists (observe the notes above).
- Connect all the short HPhoses 9427.02 according to Fig. 'C' and connect the two long HPhoses to the hand pump.
- Actuate the pump and pretension the eight cylinder head stud with 600-620 bar and hold this pressure constant.
- Unscrew all the nuts 6 by 45 hole spaces.
- When all the nuts are in this position release the pressure to 'Zero', by opening the relief valve on the pump.
- Disconnect the hose couplings between the eight jacks and remove jacks and hoses. If they are not immediately re
used, close the connecting openings with closing caps.
- Remove all the nuts 6.
- Apply the jack screws 9427.09 and jack the cylinder head off the cylinder liner (Fig. 'G').
- The cylinder head freed, fit the lifting device 9427.03 on the studs of the rocker arms cowling 2 and lift the cylinder
head off by crane (please refer to Fig. 'K' for ZALS and Fig. 'K1' for ZAVS engines).
- Cover the open combustion space with a wooden or cardboard lid to prevent foreign bodies falling in. The same
should be done with the openings of the push rod claddings.

F i t t i n g a cylinder head

Preparations: (Fig. 'A' and 'B')


- Clean the seating face on cylinder liner and cylinder head thoroughly. Any unevenness is to be ground off with grind
ing device 9421.01 and grinding paste.
- Place a new cylinder head soft iron gasket on the cylinder liner. (It should be a principle practice not to reuse any
gaskets, joints or Orings etc.) Check whether the gasket lies flat.

1995 2 Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd


ZA40S Maintenance 2701–1/A1

- Place new Orings 10 into the grooves at the collar of the cylinder liner. Smear these before with engine lub. oil. Al
ways use only original Orings corresponding to our specification, see group 0328-1.
- Ascertain that all the cylinder head studs 4 are screwed in until fully seated.
- Smear the guide area on the cylinder liner collar and the inner side on the bottom of the cylinder head lightly with
engine lub. oil.
- In order to have the oil connecting piece 24 (see Fig. 'E') correctly centred when cylinder head 17 is placed in position,
loosen first screws 25 and 27 before positioning the cylinder head.
- Check the drilling in the cylinder head 17 for centring pin 30 and the drilling in flange 26 for the oil connecting piece 24
for cleanliness. Smear the drilling in the flange and the Orings on the oil connecting piece lightly with engine lub. oil.
- Check combustion space for cleanliness and remove any foreign particles.

Working sequence:
- Fit the lifting device 9427.03 on the cylinder head and attach it to the crane. Position of rope loop as per Fig. 'K' for
ZAL engines' and 'K1' for ZAVS engines.
- Lower the cylinder head slowly over the cylinder head studs until the centring pin 30 and the oil connecting piece 24
have mated. If the cylinder head does not slip down under its own weight to rest on the cylinder head gasket on the
cylinder liner apply the two special nuts 9427.04 on two opposite studs. Tighten these nuts alternately with the socket
spanner 9427.57 and a ratchet or a spanner until the cylinder head is seated (please refer to Fig. 'H').
- After fitting the cylinder head tighten screws 25 and 27 of the oil connecting piece 24 again (Fig. 'E').

P r e  t e n s i o n i n g the cylinder head studs

- Clean the seating surface of all the nuts 6. Lubricate the thread of the studs and the seating surfaces with oil, do not use
MOLYKOTE paste.
- Screw down, by hand, all the nuts 6 until they seat and only then tighten them with round bar 9427.01a.
It is important that all the nuts run freely on their threads and that they can be screwed down by hand until seated.
- Fit all the hydr. jacks 9427.01 on the cylinder head studs, screw them down until their cylinders 32 are seated on the
cylinder head.
- The pistons 31 of the hydraulic jacks must be screwed into the cylinders 32 until they are flush with their upper edges at
'B'! As a result of nonobservance the required stroke cannot be obtained by the jack. Use the special spanner 9431.03
to screw down the pistons 31 (Fig. 'D'). Please refer to the note on the previous page.
- Connect the hand pump 9408.01 by the HPhoses with the hydr. jacks
9427.01.
- Shut the relief valve, actuate the pump and raise the pressure to 100
X1

bar. Hold this pressure constant until all the nuts have been tightened
X

with the round bar until fully seated.


- Open the relief valve on the pump and lower the pressure to 40 bar.
- Measure the projection 'X' of jack piston over jack cylinder with a
depth gauge and note them down (please refer to adjacent Fig.). 31
- Shut relief valve and actuate the pump raising the pressure to 600
bar. Hold the pressure constant until all the nuts 6 have been tight 32
ened down until seated.
- Release the oil pressure to 40 bar and measure the projection jack 6
piston over cylinder 'X1' with the depth gauge and note them down. 95.7063

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 3 1995


2701–1/A1 Maintenance ZA40S

- Calculate the extension value X1 - X. For correctly pretensioned cylinder head studs, the difference between the
two measurements should be 1.4 ±0.1 mm. These measures serve as a safety check of the hydraulic pretensioning
method.
- If considerable differences are established in the measured values, then it is necessary to loosen the cylinder head
studs once more (please refer to group 2701-1) and to repeat the pretensioning procedure.
- When the stretching measure of all the studs corresponds approximately with the indicated value, remove all jacks,
the pump and close all open hose connections with sealing caps.

Remark Leaking hydr. jacks do not permit correct pretensioning of the studs. In such a case the defective
jack must be dismantled and equipped with new sealing rings. The piston 31 can be withdrawn from
the cylinder when the circlip is removed from the cylinder. When reassembling the jack particular
care must be taken when fitting the face seal.

Replacing the Orings in the oil connecting piece without removing the cylinder head (please refer to Fig. 'E')

The Orings 23 on the oil connecting piece 24 can be replaced without removing the cylinder head; for this proceed as
follows:
- Loosen and remove screws 25 and 27.
- Flange 26 and oil connecting piece 24 can be removed laterally.
- Remove the old Orings, smear a new set with engine lubricating oil and fit them.
- For fitting put both parts together and place them between cylinder head and engine housing (take care of cleanness
of the seating faces).
- Fit and tighten screws 25 and 27.

Fitting the rocker arm cowling, please refer to group 2705-1

Adjusting the valve clearances for inlet and exhaust valves, please refer to group 4401-1.

2701–2/A1 Maintenance ZA40S

Remark If a valve seat holds exceptionally tight in the cylinder head, it is possible to loosen the valve seat by
the following method:
Apply a welding bead all around the seat periphery on the sloping seat surface.
When the valve seat cools, it shrinks and can readily be withdrawn. (While welding take care that no
weld spatter contacts the bore surface of the cylinder head).

Fitting a valve seat 8

Place the cylinder head on its side, permitting the valve seat to be fitted in a horizontal direction.

Inlet valve seat:

- Clean and degrease thoroughly the bore and the seating shoulder in the cylinder head.
- Apply Loctite 648 to the sealing faces.
- Push the inlet valve seat by hand as far as possible into the bore in the cylinder head, then install the seat fitting device
as shown in Fig. 'B' and pull the seat in until fully seated. (The valve guide bush 6 must be fitted for this procedure).
The inlet valve seat rests on the shoulder at 'AS' but must have a clearance at the point 'S'.

Exhaust valve seat:

- Clean thoroughly the bore and the seating shoulder of the bush 9 and the exhaust valve seat. Any unevenness or dam
age must be polished out.
- The radial sealing face of the exhaust valve seat as well as the corresponding bore in the cylinder head must be de
greased; then coat only the radial seating face of the exhaust valve seat with Loctite 648 as shown in Fig. 'C'.
- Before fitting oil lightly the Orings 7.
- Push the exhaust valve seat by hand as far as possible into the bore in the cylinder head, then install the seat fitting
device as shown in Fig. 'B' and pull the seat in until fully seated. (The valve guide bush 6 must be fitted for this proce
dure).
The exhaust valve seat rests on the shoulder at 'AS' but must have a clearance at the point 'S' (Fig. 'C').
- The proper fitting position must be checked as shown in Fig.' C'. For that place a straightedge on the sealing face of
the cylinder head, and with a depth gauge measure the distance to the upper edge of the exhaust valve seat. The re
quired dimension is mentioned in Fig. 'C'.
- A pressure test must be carried out after replacement of an exhaust valve seat (see group 2701-6).

Fitting a bush 9 for the exhaust valve seat

Before fitting a new bush 9 clean and degrease thoroughly the radial sealing face of the bush and the corresponding bore
in the cylinder head.
Coat the bore in the cylinder head with Loctite 648 as shown in Fig. 'C'.
For fitting the bush it is to be cooled down to about -190C in liquid nitrogen. The two cooling water bores in bush 9
must correspond with the bores in the cylinder head. The bush must rest on the shoulder at 'AS' but must have a clear
ance at the point 'S'.
The proper fitting position must be checked as shown in Fig.' C'. For that place a straightedge on the sealing face of the
cylinder head, and with a depth gauge measure the distance to the upper edge of the bush. The required dimension is
mentioned in Fig. 'C'.

For information on the grinding of valve spindle seat please refer to group 2720-2

Valve seats should only be ground with the valve seat grinding machine.
Lappingin of the valve with valve seat using grinding paste is strictly forbidden!

When is the grinding of valve seats indicated?

- Every time new valve seats have been fitted in the cylinder head.
- When new or reconditioned valve spindles are being fitted. An exception may be made, when the
valve seat surface is neither worn, corroded nor pitted.
- When the seat surface of the exhaust valve seats is badly impaired, on heavy fuel operation.
(pitting, corrosion scars).
+ 2'
Inlet valve seats with a valve seat angle of 30° 0 are usually free from damage like pittings, or corrosion. However it can
happen that the seat surface becomes slightly embossed due to wear. As this does not impair the reliability of operation it
is usually not necessary to undertake this grinding operation, which reduces the lifespan of the valves. A condition for
this is of course that the valve in question is refitted to the same valve seat with unchanged seat surface. (Please refer to
group 2720-2).
+ 2' + 2'
Exhaust valve seats for ZA40S engines may have valve seat angles of either 30° 0 or 45° 0 respectively. Valve seats of
+ 2'
45° 0 are fitted in ZA40S engines rated at 720 kW/cyl and also in engines with ER I / ER II at 660 / 600 kW/cyl. The
criteria for grinding are the same for both types of valve seats.

Grinding of valve seats

Fig. 'A' shows an example of how an electric driven seat grinding machine is used. Before starting the grinding operation
the grinding device has to be mounted in the 30° or the 45° guide of the valve seat grinding machine tool No. 9427.18.
When grinding the valve seats care has to be taken to prevent grinding dust from entering the cylinder head. It is essential
that after completing the grinding the cylinder heads are thoroughly cleaned.
For the use of the grinding machine please refer to the instructions supplied with the machine.
A clean and smooth surface must be obtained with the grinding of the valve seat.
The valve seat grinding machine must be well centered in the valve guide bush as well as in the valve seat with the aid of
the inbuilt centering device 7. This is of paramount importance.
Experience has shown that chatter marks appear when valve seat surfaces are reground in the vicinity of engines or
machines producing vibrations. This phenomenon can be successfully prevented when the cylinder head is laid on a thick
rubber mat during the grinding operation. On board ship this grinding operation should never be attempted without
such a rubber mat.
To prevent the machine from twisting, a wooden staff or a pipe is inserted in a bore of the cylinder head.

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 1 1995


2701–3/A1 Maintenance ZA40S

For grinding of valve seats, only discs which are specified by the maker of the valve seat grinding machine are to be used.
Such discs may be ordered also through New Sulzer Diesel.

Cut: . . . . . . Coarse . . . . 0,1 mm


Fine . . . . . . 0,03 mm

Checking

A crack detection test by dye penetration must be carried out on the finish machined seat surface. No cracks are permit
ted!
After completing the grinding check whether the new or reground valve (refer to group 2720-2) sits correctly on the
valve seat. To check this, apply some marking blue onto the valve spindle seat. The valve spindle is inserted into the guide
bush, the cylinder head being laid flat with combustion face upwards.
Move the spindle 3 to 4 times by about a 1/3 turn to and fro, if necessary use the hand grip 9427.35. Place this grip with the
movable part of the strap folded down onto the clean surface of the valve plate (if the surface is rough, apply some oil). By
folding the movable part of the strap upwards the grip fastens itself by suction to the valve plate (Fig. 'B').
If the angle tolerances on valve and valve seat have been adhered to, then the contact pattern on the seat surface of the
inlet valves amounts to 20- 80% of the seat width. The bearing imprint must run from the inner diameter outwards (see
Fig. 'a' Illustr. 'C'). Besides the imprint check, the gap between valve and seat can also be measured; As shown in Fig. 'c'
Illustr. 'C' this should be between 0.005 mm and 0.015 mm.
On correctly ground exhaust valves having seat angles of 30° or 45° respectively the contact pattern must be 50 - 100%
of the seat width. Here, however, in contrast to the inlet valves, the bearing imprint must run from the outer diameter
inwards (see Fig. 'a' Illustr. 'D' and 'E').
For inlet as well as for exhaust valve seats in the cylinder head it is important that the outer diameter of the valve seat
surface must be bigger than the outer diameter of the valve plate, and that the inner diameter of the valve seat is smaller
than the small diameter of the valve plate. Valve seats in the cylinder head may only be ground to the limit shown in Fig.
'b' Illustr. 'C', 'D', 'E'.

Fitting an insert bush (Fig. 'B')

- The guide bores and the seating surface in the cylinder head must be clean, dry and undamaged.
- Degrease the insert bush in the region 'E2' and coat it with Loctite 648. Mount the insert bush in the cylinder head and
fit the tool as shown in Fig. 'B'.
- Fit the Oring 6 at 'E1' and smear the area with oil.
- Rotate the special nut 1 with the spanner 2 and press the insert bush into its guide bore until fully seated. Finally the
cylinder head must be subjected to a pressure test (please refer to group 2701-6).

Lapping in the seating surface for the fuel injection valve

The seating surface inside the insert bush must be inspected prior to each fitting of the fuel injection valve. It must not be
either dirty or damaged, as it has to seal against very high pressures. The sealing in this part must be metal to metal, i.e. no
sealing ring may be fitted.
Special tools are contained in the engine tools collection, to service this seating surface. They are to be used as described
below (Tool No. 9427.10 and 9427.11).
- Insert the guide ring in the bore in the centre of the cylinder head (Fig. 'C').
- Put a few spots of grinding paste on the face of the mandrel, insert it into the inset bush and lap the seating surface by
turning the mandrel to and fro several times.
- Fasten a soft cleaning cloth at the bottom end of tool 9427.11 and clean the setting surface with this device (Fig. 'D').
- If you carry out this reconditioning work with the cylinder head fitted, pay particular attention that no grinding paste
or any other objects can enter the combustion chamber.

When valve guide bushes are worn beyond the permissible limit or are otherwise damaged, they must be replaced by new
bushes, whereby the undermentioned procedure should be followed:

Removal of a valve guide bush (Fig. 'A')


- Fit the tool as shown in Fig. 'A' and rotate the special nut 1 with the double ended ring spanner 8 until the valve guide
bush has been withdrawn from its guide bore in the cylinder head 4, and can be put aside.
- Clean the bore and the seating surface in the cylinder head carefully. Use emery cloth only for extreme cases and then
only sparingly, to avoid any enlargement of the bore in the cylinder head.

Fitting a valve guide bush (Fig. 'B')


Valve seat 7 must be fitted!
- Check the bore in cylinder head 4 and valve guide bush 5 for cleanliness and possible damage, remedy if necessary.
- Smear oil or Thred Gard into the bore and the lower part of the valve guide bush; push the guide bush as far as possible
into the bore and tap lightly with a lead hammer. Ascertain that the valve guide bush is exactly aligned with the axis of
the bore in the cylinder head.
- Mount the tool as shown in Fig. 'B' and, by rotating the special nut 1 with the double ended ring spanner 8, push the
valve guide bush 5 into its bore until fully seated on its shoulder.
- Remove the tool and fit seal rings into the grooves in the valve guide bush bore (lubricate the bore with oil).

should definitely also be made when valve seats or insert bushes are replaced.

Working procedure:

- Remove all the valves from the cylinder head and mount the pressure testing device 9427.06 equipped with two O
rings 4 in perfect condition in the bottom part of the cylinder head, and fasten it as shown in the illustration below.
- Fit the flange 9427.07 and fill the cylinder head with water, while the vent screw 6 remains open until all the air has
escaped.
- Subject the cylinder head to a pressure of 7 bar shut the valve of the supply pipe and leave the pressure in the cylinder
head constant for about 15 minutes. During this time the pressure in the water spaces may not diminish.
- If the water space is tight, loosen the vent screw 6, drain the water from the cylinder head and prepare the cylinder
head for assembly.

Relief valves which begin to leak in service must be removed and overhauled at the next opportunity, when the engine is
not in operation. In general all the relief valves should be dismantled and checked at every major overhaul of the engine.

Reconditioning a relief valve

Working procedure:
- Push the special spanner 9427.23 over the hexagonal spring casing 3 and turn it at the level of the recess 'H' till it fits
over the hexagon of the valve seat 5.
- Unscrew the relief valve, using an open end spanner AF 65 and the special spanner 9427.23, from the cylinder head.
- To dismantle the relief valve unscrew the spring casing 3 and remove compression spring 2 together with spring plate
6. Following this the valve body 4 can be pulled out of valve seat 5 together with ball 7.
Should remachining have to carried out on the relief valve or P
parts thereof be replaced, then the opening pressure must be
checked and if necessary reset with distance ring 1. By chang 1
ing the height of the distance ring the opening pressure can be 2
set i.e. when reducing the height, lower opening pressure, the
higher the distance ring the higher the opening pressure.
To vary the opening pressure by about 1 bar, the ring height 3
has to be modified by about 0.1mm.
Engine rating: Opening pressure:
up to 660 kW/cylinder . . . . . . . . 202 bar
up to 720 kW/cylinder . . . . . . . . 223 bar
up to 750 kW/cylinder . . . . . . . . 243 bar
Before reassembling smear all parts including the M27x2
thread to the valve seat 5 lightly with a heat resisting lubricant.
For the refitting in the cylinder cover no joint is to be used. 6

Remark On engines of some stationary engines the


bores M27x2 in the cylinder covers are
closed with a screw plug instead of a relief H 4
valve being fitted. These screw plugs seal
metallically and have therefore to be 5
fitted without joints.

During a major overhaul the delivery valves 4, built on to the fuel stud 15, should be dismantled and checked. Valve seats
which are no longer in perfect condition must be carefully lappedin with grinding paste. When the seat is again flawless
the whole valve must be carefully washed in kerosene, white spirit or other cleaning fluid and then blown out with com
pressed air. The best way to dismantle a delivery valve is to first remove it together with the fuel stud.

Removal

- Loosen both cap nuts 3 (Fig. 'A') and remove high pressure pipe 2 with the aid of spanner plate 9427.21 and torque
wrench 9408.17.
- Loosen and dismantle screws 8 to flange 5. Remove flange 5 and joint 7.
- Set the socket spanner 9427.21a on the hexagon of the valve casing 13 and unscrew the fuel stud 15 with delivery valve
4 from the fuel injection valve.
- Loosen the screws 11 and separate the valve casing 13 with delivery valve 4 and spring 17 from the fuel delivery con
nection.

Assembly

- Hold the valve casing 13 with the threaded end downwards and insert delivery valve 4 with spring 17.
- Wipe the end faces of the valve casing as well as the fuel stud with a clean cloth or the dry palm of the hand.
- Place fuel stud 15 on the valve casing 13 and clamp them together with fitting device 9427.20 (Fig. 'B') and tighten
moderately.

Replacing valve springs

Remark Normally valve springs are replaced when the cylinder head is removed from the engine and placed
on its side.
They can, however, also be replaced when the cylinder head is fitted on the engine. In such a case bar
the engine to bring the respective working piston to firing T.D.C. (all valves are then closed).
In both cases the removal of the valve springs follows the same procedure. It may happen that the
valve spindle slides down onto the piston top when the springs are removed. To mount the spring
tensioning device for fitting, the valve spindle must be lifted up by hand. To prevent it slipping down
again attach a string to the spindle shank and pull the spindle up on this until the spring tensioning
device 9427.24 is mounted.

Removing the springs

Valve springs 3, 5 and 7 are removed as follows:


- Pull the rocker arm pin of the respective valve out sideways and remove the corresponding rocker arm (see sheet
2705/1).
- For valves with ROTOCAP mount the spring tensioning device 9427.24 in such a way that the split clamp sleeve 14
grips the valve shank on its end (see Fig. 'C'), then push the tensioning sleeve 13 downwards until the lower faces of
clamp sleeve 14 and tensioning sleeve 13 are flush (see Fig. 'A').
For valves with TURNOMAT the removal instructions for spring 7 are the same as already mentioned, with the only
exception that for the removal sleeve 19 has to be used as shown in Fig. 'B' and 'C'.
- With hand grip 18 screw down sleeve 19 till the valve rotating device ROTOCAP 2 Fig. 'A' or the upper part of TUR
NOMAT 11 Fig. 'B' are sufficiently low, that clamp ring 1 can be removed.
- Turn the hand grip 18 back until the springs are fully slackened.
- Remove the tensioning device and remove the springs.

Fitting the springs

- The fitting of the springs is done analogously to the removal but in reverse sequence.
- The seating faces must be clean and undamaged for the springs 3, 5 and 7 as well as the lower spring plate 6 and the
valve rotating devices ROTOCAP or TURNOMAT.
- When carry out the tensioning procedure of the spring 7 for fitting the conical clamp ring halves 1 of the TURNO
MAT, pay attention that the balls 22 engage with the guide grooves of the guide ring 21 (Fig. 'B' and 'C').

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 1 3.00


2720–1/A1 Maintenance ZA40S

- Smear the tapered clamp ring halves 1 with MOLYKOTE paste Gn on all sides.
- Do not remove the tensioning device before having checked that the two clamp ring halves 1 are correctly inserted.
The spacing between the two halves should be about equal on both sides.

Removing the valves

- The removal of the valves demands the removal of the cylinder head from the engine (please refer to group 2701-1).
- Remove the valve springs as described before, then pull out the valvespindles.
- Inspect the seal faces of valve seat and valve body for damage and regrind them if necessary using the grinding
machine (please refer to group 2701-3 and 2720-2).

Fitting the valves

- Clean the valve guide bushes 9 thoroughly and fit new Orings 4.
- Smear the valve spindles 10 well with oil and before fitting the springs check their easy movement within the guide
bushes 9.
- Fit the valve springs in accordance with the instruction in the earlier paragraph.
- Fit the rocker arm and adjust the valve clearance.

Make it a point to grind off only as much material as is absolutely necessary to obtain a clean smooth surface.
Grind only wet i.e. with cooling agent.
To avoid chatter marks on the seating surface, place the grinding machine in a place which is free from vibrations set up
by running machinery, engines or electric motors. If necessary place the grinding machine on a rubber matting.
A crack detection test by dye penetration must be carried out on the finish machined seat surface. No cracks are permit

When the grinding angle is exactly maintained an inking


check of an inlet valve with the valve seat fitted in the cylinder +6'
30°+4' 20 - 80%
head and equally ground will reveal a contact pattern of 20 -
80% of the seat width and beginning from the smaller dia
meter.

Under the same conditions and with the same procedure as


described above, a marking check on an exhaust valve shows a 0
30°- 2' 50 - 100%
contact percentage of 50 - 100% of the seat width and run
ning inward from the outer diameter.

The above ruling also applies to ZA 40S engines with a MCR

When the marking check is carried out the contact area must
be 50 - 100% of the seat width starting from the outer diame
ter and running inwards.

The seating surfaces of the inlet valves may not show any pit straight edge
ting marks or corrosion scars, but have simply become hollow
due to wear.
Such valves must not be reground but they have without fail wear
to be fitted again to the same valve seat in the cylinder head in
which they operated before and which was not re ground
either.
On the latest valve design this type of wear pattern will no longer
occur!

sting device 9427.40 and its components.
For this test use only absolutely clean gas oil, which may not be poured back into the fuel tank 8 after the test.
Prior to checking a fuel injection valve, clean the same carefully externally and remove any existing combustion residue
on the injection nozzle with a brass wire brush.
The fuel injection valve to be tested is placed on the spray testing device 9427.40 and connected to the pressure connec

Judging a fuel injection valve

To correctly judge a fuel injection valve, the following checks must be carried out:
 Loosen lock nut 2 and then spring tensioner 1, to relieve the nozzle needle of the fuel injection valve completely of
tension.
Check by a few short pump strokes of spray testing device 9427.40 whether the fuel is equally distributed from all spray
holes of the fuel nozzle.

 Using spring tensioner 1, adjust the opening pressure of the fuel injection valve to the value mentioned in the setting
table (normally 400 ± 10 bar).
 To check sealing between nozzle needle and nozzle needle seat of the fuel injection valve, keep a pressure of 200 ± 20
bar constant, over a period of 5 seconds. During this time no dripping should be noticeable at the tip of the injection
nozzle.

Attention Never hold fingers or hands directly against the spray holes of the injection nozzles due to the risk of
accidents.

Fuel injection valves checked according to the above mentioned criteria and proven flawless can be further used.
Deficient fuel injection valves must be dismantled (see group 2722-1 and 2722-3) and their injection nozzles replaced
by new or overhauled injection nozzles.
Fuel injection valves which leak and drip have to be overhauled by the manufacturers or a specialized company.
Improper repair work on fuel injection valves can cause scrapping of the same.

Adjusting the opening pressure

- Loosen the lock nut 2, move the pump lever up and down and at the same time tighten the spring tensioner 1 until the
opening pressure is read on the pressure gauge 20 (please note the required value, normally 400 ± 10 bar, in the set
ting table).
- Shut the pressure damping valve 3 and check with short fast pump strokes whether the fuel nozzle sprays equally.
When this condition is reached, tighten the lock nut 2 firmly, while holding the spring tensioner 1 steady with a span
ner.
- After tightening the lock nut 2 check the opening spray pressure once more.

Starting Air Valve

A starting air valve is fitted in each cylinder head and is controlled by control air from the starting air distributor (see
group 4301-1). It admits starting air (30 bar) to the cylinders in certain positions of the piston. The control timing i.e.
opening or closing of the valve in relation to the crank position is entered in the setting table, which is supplied with the
engine.

Function

Without starting order the control valve 4 and the working piston 5 screwconnected to the valve spindle 7 are pressed
upwards by the springs 9 and 10 respectively which means the valve is closed (see left halve of starting air valve on
illustration 'A').
The schematic sketches on illustration 'B' show the starting air valve in the positions corresponding to the following
situations:

Figure I - No starting order, but starting air pipe and therefore also space 'RR' are under air pressure.
- Space 'DV' above the starting control valve 4 is without pressure.
- Equal pressure exists in the space 'DA' and 'DA1' above and below the working piston 5. The starting
valve is shut.

Figure II - Starting air valve has received the starting order (Open).
- Control air from the starting air distributor reaches space 'DV'.
- The control air valve 4 is pressed onto its lower seat.
- The air below the working piston 5 escapes from the space 'DA1' through the bores 'EB' and 'EB2'.

Figure III - With the control valve 4 still pressed down, the air pressure in space 'DA' pushes the piston 5 with the
valve spindle 7 down and starting air enters the combustion chamber 'VR'.

Figure IV - The air flow from the starting air distributor is interrupted.
- Space 'DV' is without pressure.
- The control valve 4 is pressed up by the spring 9.
- Staring air enters the space 'DA1' below the working piston 5 and equalizes the pressure in the spaces
'DA' and 'DA1'.
- Valve 7 is still open but closes immediately by the action of spring 10.

sure is adjusted by the hight of the distance ring 7 (see Maintenance Manual 27017). The opening pressure 'OD' de
pends on the engine rating and is stampedin on top of the valve housing 1.

Indicator Valve

Description
Each cylinder head 1 is equipped with an indicator valve 5 which seals off the indicator bore (connection of the com
bustion chamber to the atmosphere). Indicator valves are required together with the 'peak pressure indicator' (tool
9408.14) to measure the compression and firing pressures of the cylinders during operation. The indicator valve must
be opened by a separate handwheel 8 (tool 9427.39).
Before mounting the 'peak pressure indicator' the indicator valve must be opened for a moment to blow out any dirt in
the indicator bore, thus preventing any dirt from entering the measuring device. Dirt entering the measuring device
could affect its function.

Attention When opening the indicator valve 5 hot dirty gas is exhausted, which can lead to injuries. For this
reason a sufficient distance must be kept from the hot gas outlet 'HG' when the indicator valve is
opened.

During measuring with the 'peak pressure indicator', the respective indicator valve is to be opened completely.
Standard values for compression and maximum ignition pressures must be taken from the shop trial report for the
respective load and speed.

Maintenance and inspection


Even if no measurements are carried out, it is advisable during continuous operation to open the indicator valves for a
short period once a day in order to prevent the indicator bore from coking up.
To enable the engine to be turned over in a more favorable manner during overhaul and preparatory work for starting
etc., the indicator valves are always to be opened. This will enable liquids (water, fuel, oil etc. ), which have collected in
the combustion space during longer standstill periods, to be ejected when the engine is turned over.

Inlet and Exhaust Valves

Each cylinder has two inlet and two outlet valves.


The valves are spring loaded and their opening and closing is controlled - via the valve drive - by the cams on the
camshaft (see group 4401-1).
In consideration of their dissimilar thermal loads, inlet and exhaust valves are differently executed. For easy distinc
tion the valve spindles are therefore marked with 'INLET' and 'EXHAUST' respectively.
The inlet and exhaust valves are equipped with rotating devices which results in following advantages:
- by a short rotation during the valve stroke, combustion residues are wiped away;
- the temperature is equally distributed around the valve seat;
- longer service life of valve spindles and valve seats.

Inlet valve (see Fig. 'A')

For both power ranges the inlet valve is provided with a ROTOCAP rotating device. It produces a rotating movement
during valve opening.
The valve seat angle is  30.

Exhaust valve

Engines with an output up to 660 kW/Cylinder (see Fig. ’B’):


For this power range the standard equipment of the exhaust valve is the ROTOCAP rotating device. It produces a
rotating movement during valve o p e n i n g.
The valve seat is water cooled.
The valve seat angle is 30.

Engines with an output of 720 kW/Cylinder (see Fig. ’C’):


The exhaust valves for the high power range are equipped with the TURNOMAT rotating device. The necessary rota
ting movement in this rotating device is produced during valve c l o s i n g.
The vale seat angle is 45.
The location for fitting inlet or exhaust valves respectively is shown in group 2701-1.

Measuring Crank Deflections

Tools:
1 Checking device 9431.01

We recommend that the crank deflections be measured whenever:


- A general overhaul is being carried out.
- Main bearing shells have been replaced.
- There are indications of engine foundation deformation.
- A breakdown has occurred or for other reasons where a check on the support of the crankshaft is required.

The following points have to be noted when taking crank deflections:


- Measuring should always only be made on an engine which has cooled down.
- All the running gear (pistons, connecting rods) should be in place.
- The dial gauge must always be fitted in the same position (see illustration on following page).
- When dealing with a marine installation, it must be remembered that the loaded condition of the vessel should be as
nearly as possible the same at the time readings are taken.

Measuring procedure

- The crankshaft is to be turned by the turning gear into such a position that the dial gauge (with about 1 mm of preten
sion) can be placed between two counterweights at measuring point 1, as shown in the illustration on the following
page, and set to '0'.
- Then, with the aid of the turning gear, the crankshaft is turned in the normal running direction and stopped again so
that the value shown on the dial gauge at measuring points 2, 3, 4 and 5 can be read off and noted down.
- The noted values have to be recorded so that they can be compared with earlier or later measurements.
- Where values are measured which lie outside those shown on the graphics 'A' and 'B', the cause has to be investigated,
whereby the crankshaft has to be uncoupled from driven equipment.
- In addition to this, the engine holdingdown bolts have to be slackened off to determine if a permanent deformation
of the engine foundation has occurred.

Torsional Vibration Damper
Fluid Damper

When conditions demand it, the crankshaft is fitted with a torsional vibration damper. This is to reduce torsional
vibrations which may be dangerous for the crankshaft
Depending upon the demands, a fluid damper is required, which is bolted onto the crankshaft FREE END.
Positioning marks 'M' on the flanges of the crankshaft and torsional vibration damper permit the latter to be refitted
in exactly the same position if ever it has to be removed.

HOLSET, HASSE + WREDE and STE fluid damper


The damper consists of a housing into which is installed a freefloating damping mass. The housing is rigidly connected
to the crankshaft and hermetically sealed. A gap exists between the housing and the damping mass which is filled with
silicone oil of a specific viscosity.
- The damper requires no outside lubrication.
- The torque is transmitted to the damping mass by the friction of the silicone oil.
When torsional vibration occurs, there is relative motion between the housing and the damping mass.
The resulting sheer stresses (friction) in the silicon oil bring about a damping of the torsional vibrations.
- The work consumed by friction generates heat. When for any reason the torsional vibration damper is overloaded,
the silicone oil overheats which leads to a change in the viscosity of the silicon oil. When this happens, the torsional
vibration damper can no longer fulfil its function and can even lead to damage of the damper itself.
- Maintenance:
To check the silicone oil therefore, samples have to be drawn from the damper at prescribed intervals (see Mainte
nance Manual group 3130-1).

GEISLINGER leaf spring damper


The damper consists of an inner part 2 which carries an outer part 3 (damping mass). The inner part is rigidly connec
ted to the crankshaft. Between each of these parts are radially arranged leaf spring packs 4 which are restrained at the
outer ends. The spring packs form, together with the inner and outer parts, chambers which are filled with oil.
- The damper requires lubricating oil from the engine pressure circuit for both lubrication and cooling. This oil being
taken from the circuit along axial hole 1 in the outside crankshaft bearing journal (at FREE END).
- The torque is transmitted to the outer part 3 by the flexible leaf spring packs 4.
When torsional vibration occurs, there is relative motion between the inner part 2 and the outer part 3 (damping
mass).
The oil is forced from one chamber to another through restricting slits thus damping the torsional vibrations.

Positioning marks 'M' on the flanges of the crankshaft and torsional vibration damper permit the latter to be refitted

VULKAN sleeve spring damper


Inner part 1 of the damper is screw fastened to crankshaft part 7. Outer part 2 is connected elastically via sleeve springs
4 and can move in conformity with the torsional vibrations. The outer part and the screw fastened side discs 3 constitu
te the 'seismic mass'.
Sleeve spring packs 4 are arranged between the inner and outer part and are compressed by the torsion of the damper.
- For lubrication and cooling the damper requires oil from the engine circuit, which is supplied through a longitudinal
bore 6 in the outermost crankshaft journal (at the FREE END) by the oil circuit.
- Through radial drillings the individual spring chambers are supplied with pressure oil. All hollow spaces of the
damper are thus filled with oil. Through relative movement at the spring circle, a hydraulic damping is produced by
oil displacement.
Additionally frictional damping is produced within the spring packs. The essential damping capacity is, however,
produced by oil displacement, i.e. oil is pressed through small gaps between side discs 3 and inner part 1.

Connecting Rod and Connecting Rod Bearing

The piston bearing is situated on the upper spherical end of the connecting rod. This bearing is part of the working
piston and therefore described in group 3401-1.
An upper and lower bearing half is fitted to the crankpin bearing, which are of different design. To avoid mistakes
when fitting, each bearing half is provided with a positioning guide which is protruding only on one side of a shell half.
Concerning undersize bearing shells, see Maintenance Manual group 3302-1.
The lubricating oil is fed through a drilling from the main journal to the crankpin and part of it flows through a central
bore in the connecting rod to the piston bearing.
The connecting rod head as well as the two bearing halves are bolted together with waisted studs, which are hydrauli
cally pretensioned (see Maintenance Manual group 03551).
The compression shims 9 are fitted by the engine manufacturer in accordance with the cylinder power capacity and
require no modifications for normal operation. The corresponding shim thickness is recorded in the setting table.

Bearing shells of the crankpin bearing can be removed and fitted without pulling out the working piston.

Procedure for the removal

- Loosen all the nuts of studs 1 and 2 as described in group 3302-2. Do not yet remove the nuts but leave them hand
tight.
- Turn crankshaft to bring the piston of respective cylinder to ignition TDC. This is absolutely essential to prevent the
working piston touching a possible open valve, when it has to be lifted when the crankpin bearing upper part has to be
inspected.
- On both sides of the crankpin bearing upper part 3 screw in one ring screw each together with the steel rope of lower
ing device 9433.03. At the same time mount also the two rollers 9433.03a needed to lower crankpin bearing lower part
4.
- Remove now all nuts of studs 1, then lower crankpin bearing lower part 4 with the aid of two lifting tackles, mounted
on the engine exterior. Lower with care, so as not to damage the threads of studs 1.
- Mount removal device 9433.02 as shown in the illustration. For this screw in the two pins 9433.02a fully into the corre
sponding threaded holes in the main bearing cover 5. Fasten joke 6 of removal device 9433.02 with two screws 11 to
engine housing 7. Adjust retaining device 9 with adjusting nuts 8 in such a way that the removal device comes to lie
lightly against crankpin bearing upper part 3.
- Place hydraulic cylinder 9408.35 together with underlay 9433.02b on to support of removal device 9433.02 as shown in
the illustration.
- Connect hydraulic cylinder by high pressure hose to hydraulic hand pump 9408.02 and by actuating the pump lever
raise crankpin bearing upper part 3 together with connecting rod 13.

Attention Lift the connecting rod with crankpin bearing upper part only just sufficiently that the bearing
shell can be removed.
In this position secure the connecting rod and crankpin bearing upper part by tightening securing
screw 10 firmly.

Before refitting used bearing shells check their condition carefully (see group 0002-2, 'Criteria for the replacement of
bearing shells'). Unduly worn or defective bearing shells must on no account be refitted, but must be replaced by new
ones. Any machining, scraping or filing of the bearing shells must absolutely be avoided!
Should it become necessary to regrind a worn roughened crankpin, then thicker bearing shells must be fitted, to suit the
reduced pin diameter. The following table advises on standard undersize bearing shells, the regrinding diameter for the
crankpin as well as the article denomination of the respective bearing shell undersize (dimensions are in mm).

Working procedure for fitting

For fitting the bearing shells the shell rear side and the bore in the crankpin bearing body must be free from any damage.
Smear the running surface of the bearing shells lavishly with clean engine lubricating oil.
- Fit the upper bearing shell equally spaced axially and radially into crankpin bearing upper part 3. Make sure that the
small tongue of the shell fits into the recess in the crankpin bearing upper part.
- Actuate hydr. hand pump 9408.02 to slightly raise connecting rod 13 together with crankpin bearing upper part 3, then
loosen securing screw 10.
- Slowly lower the oil pressure by the relief valve of hydr. hand pump, till the bearing shell together with crankpin bear
ing upper part and connecting rod rests on the crankpin.
- Remove hydraulic jack 9408.35, the underlay 9433.02b as well as removal device 9433.02 with the pins 9433.02a.
- Mount the bearing shell to the crankpin lower part 4 in the same manner as in upper part 3 described above.
- Using lowering device 9433.03 and rollers 9433.03a, lift crankpin bearing lower part with its bearing shell till it rest
against the crankpin.
- Fit the four nuts to studs 1.
- Tighten nuts of studs 1 as described in group 3302-2.
- Tighten nuts of studs 2 as described in group 3302-2.

Remark The nuts of studs 1 should always be tightened before the ones of studs 2.

After completion of work remove all tools from the crankcase.


For a final check measure the bearing clearance on the fully fitted bearing and compare it with the values in Clearance
and Wear Table 0352-1.

Operation 3401–1/A3
Piston
MCR 720kW/Cylinder with Internal Cyl. Lubrication

The piston is also called working or rotating piston, i.e. during operation it slowly rotates around its axis.
The rotation is achieved by a ratchet pawl, situated off centre to of the connecting rod sphere, through a toothed rim
and a flexible member. The stroke of the pawl is a function of its distance to the sphere and swing angle of the connec
ting rod.
After 67 turns of the crankshaft the piston has rotated once around its axis.
The piston is equipped with oil spray nozzles 22 and inner lubricating bores 'OB'. For piston cooling, the oil is sprayed
directly to the bore ends of the piston crown 15. The oil flow is indicated with arrows in Fig. 'A'. The ring space 'RR'
provides a constant oil supply to all spray nozzles.
Pistons with 'internal lubrication' are provided with lubricating bores 'OB' in the piston skirt 11, which are connected
by internal bores with the ring space 'RR' and assure an uniform cylinder lubrication.

Camshaft

The camshaft is driven by the gear wheel on the crankshaft via the camshaft drive. The camshaft turns in the same
direction as the crankshaft. The camshaft makes one full turn for two turns of the crankshaft.
The camshaft is a bright steel shaft ground cylindrically, onto which the following parts are mounted by compressive
shrinking:
- Cams for the inlet valve
- Cams for the exhaust valve
- Cams for the fuel injection pumps
- Camshaft driven gear wheel
- Stop rings for the thrust bearing
To remove these parts from the shaft or to change their position, special tools are needed which are not included in the
standard tool kit.
It is recommended not to undertake such work without having obtained the required instructions from the engine
makers or without the assistance of a specialist.
The camshaft is supported at the engine ends and between the cylinders (see group 4216-1)
Depending on the method of operation and vibration calculation, the 9  18 cylinder engines are either equipped with
a flywheel disc or a vibration damper at the FREE END of each camshaft.
Vibration damper
The dampers of HASSE & WREDE Co. and STE make are specially adapted to the engine. Function and mainte
nance is analogous to the liquid vibration damper on the crankshaft (see group 3130-1).
For damper cooling the cooling oil is injected through the spray nozzles 10.

Cams for Camshaft

The cams are mounted onto the camshaft by compressive shrinking. They are correctly set in the engine manufactu
rer's works and normally must not be reset. Should it for any reason become necessary to shift cams, then the manufac
turer must be consulted as arbitrary cam shifting can lead to irreparable damage to cams and camshaft.
The original setting of the cams is written down in the setting table. To check the position of the cams, the engine
should have the ambient temperature and the clearance of exhaust and inlet valves must be correct. The crank angle
must be read off the graduation on the flywheel at the begin of opening i.e. when the respective valve has opened
2.7mm minus the valve clearance. (see Maintenance Manual group 44011) The valve stroke can be measured with a
dial gauge on the valve rotary device. The position of the fuel pump cam is indicated in degrees before TDC and refers
to the delivery start of the fuel pumps (see Maintenance Manual group 5501-2).
Marks are engraved on both sides of the cams for the coarse setting, the indication for its application (EX= exhaust
valve, B= fuel pump, IN or P4IN= inlet valve) and on the cams for nonreversible engines an arrow for the correct
sense of direction.

Remark On engines with VTR 354P or VTR 454P turbochargers, inlet cams with designation P4IN are to
be provided.

Camshaft Bearing

The camshaft bearings consist of two bearing shells. The two bearing shells are not identical and must be fitted as
follows:
- The upper bearing shell 3 has a continuous oil groove.
- The lower bearing shell 4 has only two short oil intake grooves.
To prevent errors in fitting, pins 8 and 5 have been provided in the bearing cover 2.
To keep the camshaft axially in the correct position the last camshaft bearing on the DRIVING END is equipped addi
tionally with locating ring halves 6 (see illustration 'B'). The stop rings 7 are mounted on to the crankshaft by compres
sive shrinking.

Starting Air Distributor
NonReversible Engine

General

The starting air distributor is driven off the camshaft. Its purpose is the control of the starting valves in the cylinder
heads.
The pilot control valves are actuated only during the starting process. At all other times they are pressed outwards by
their springs. This produces a clearance 'SP' between the cam and the roller (see Fig. 'A').

Function (see illustrations 'B' to 'E')

In all four figures starting air is present in the ring space 'AR1' and 'AR2'. The pilot control valves 5 are pressed by it
onto the cam 2.

Figure 'B' : The control air piping to the starting air valve is vented through connection 'EL'.

Figure 'C' : The pilot control valve shuts the piping to the starting valve.

Figure 'D' : The pilot control valve keeps the piping to the starting valve closed.

Figure 'E' : The connection between space 'AR1' and 'SL' (to the starting valve) has been opened. Starting air
opens the starting valve. Starting air flows from the shutoff valve through the starting valve directly
into the respective cylinder.

Starting Air Distributor


with Control Disc

During starting, in the rhythm of the firing order, the starting air distributor controls the starting air valves 15 in the
cylinder covers (see group 2728-1), so that the starting air enters the cylinders at the right moment during a certain time,
making the crankshaft rotate via the pistons.

Operating manner
The housing 1 is provided with slotshaped ducts according to the cylinder number. The control disc 3 rotating with the
camshaft 11 is equipped with a window.
As soon as the control valve 215HA is actuated, the air space 'AR' is filled with starting air via the starting air inlet 'AE'.
Through the window in control disc 3, the starting air enters at connection 'LA' via the slotshaped ducts, and with that at
the corresponding cylinder cover, opening the starting air valve (see group 2728-1). The crankshaft, and camshaft with
the control disc mounted on it, begin to rotate. The window in the control disc 3 frees the next duct according to the firing
order, and another starting valve is opened, etc. The starting air accelerates the engine up to firing speed.

Automatic Starting Air Shutoff Valve

The shutoff valve stops the flow of starting air to the air starting valves until the pilot control valve receives the 'start
ing order' and opens.
The nonreturn valve 6 is to be considered as a part of the shutoff valve. It protects the shutoff valve and the starting
air pressure vessel from undesired pressure surges from the combustion space.
In installations where the plant is on full standby duty, and the engine therefore turned over slowly at intervals, using
starting air, the shutoff valve is equipped with a throttle nonreturn valve (slow turning valve) (see Fig. 'D').
If this valve is not provided, the respective opening on the shutoff valve is plugged .

ZA40S

Function (see Fig. 'B')

In the 'ready to start' mode, starting air from the starting air bottle 'AL' enters space 'ER'
The same pressure exists in the spaces 'VR' from the pilot control valve 'VS'.
The combined forces applied by the air pressure in areas 'VR' plus the pressure from spring 2 being larger than the
ones in the area 'ER' keep piston 5 closed.
At the start order, the pilot control valve lets the air escape from the spaces 'VR'. The piston 5 is pressed against the
spring up to the stop and admits starting air from the space 'ER'. The nonreturn valve piston 6 is pressed against its
spring and admits the air through the space 'AR' into the branch pipe to the starting valves.
The nonreturn valve 6 remains open whilst starting air 'AV' flows to the engine cylinders.
As soon as the order arrives to interrupt the starting process, air flows into the spaces 'VR' from the pilot control valve
'VS' and presses the piston 5 onto its seat interrupting the flow of starting air. This interruption of starting air presses
the piston 6 immediately onto its seat.

Valve Drive Mechanism

The valve actuating gear opens and closes the inlet and exhaust valves at the required time. The actuation is transmit
ted from cams arranged on the camshaft through push rods acting onto the main rocker arms. The latter actuate the
auxiliary rocker arms thus simultaneously opening either two inlet or two exhaust valves.
The valve closure is effected by spring action.
The lubricating oil for the valve actuation is fed to its moving parts through internal bores.
To compensate the heat expansion of the push rods and valve guides during operation, a relatively large clearance
must exist on the cold engine, between the valves and the rocker arms. These clearances must be checked periodically
and if necessary readjusted. For instructions regarding the adjustment procedure and the correct clearances see
Maintenance Manual group 4401-1.

Shut down Servomotor

The shut down servomotor shuts the engine down or prevents fuel injection when starting is attempted if and when the
lubricating oil system is not under the required pressure.
The action of the servomotor is effected by its piston directly onto a lever which is clamped to the fuel regulating shaft.
In operation, with lubricating oil 'OE' pressure, the slide seat 3 is pressed against the piston 6 at 'BS'. Without or not
sufficient oil pressure in the space 'DR1 ', the slide seat 3 is pushed away from the piston 6 by the spring 2. The opening
'AB' is uncovered and the oil from space 'DR2' can escape (see Fig. 'B').
The quick relief valve consisting of the parts 3, 3a, 4, 5 and 10 permits the oil from spaces 'DR2' and 'DR3' to escape very
fast through the opening 'AB' and 'OA' into the engine housing, if the oil pressure collapses. This valve furthermore
renders a venting of the shut down servomotor superfluous (Fig. 'B').
On enginedriven lubricating oil pumps, the piston 6 is pressed inwards during starting by several pneumatic pistons 13
fed by starting air, until sufficient oil pressure has built up to hold the piston 6 in position 19a (see Fig. 'D').

Feedback Transmitter

For marine engines designed for operation with a controllable pitch propeller, an angle transmitter is installed to
transmit the load indicator position to the propeller pitch control system. Two standard design executions can be sup
plied.

Transmitter on the regulating shaft (Illustration 'A')


The angle transmitter 1 is mounted on the casing 7 to the camshaft. The position of the regulating shaft 5 is transmitted
via lever 4, which is connected by means of a torsional spring with the link rod 3 and lever 2, to the angle transmitter 1.
The transmitter emits an analogous electrical signal corresponding to the angle range of load positions '0' to '10'.

Setting instruction for CAMILLE BAUER transmitter:


When the engine load indicator points to '0' the markings on the transmitter output shaft and on the transmitter casing
must correspond (electrical zero position).

Setting instruction for KMW transmitter:


The exact adjustment of the transmitter has to be carried out in accordance with the instructions of the propeller
manufacturer KaMeWa.

Speed Governor
Speed Control System WOODWARD PGA58 / PGAEG58

Description

The duty of the speed governor is to keep the speed of the engine constant by controlling the fuel injection quantity.

The WOODWARD PGA governor is a mechanicalhydraulic governor with load limiter for turbocharger protection.
The setting of the governor speed and with it the engine's speed (rpm) is obtained pneumatically. For emergency
operations the speed can also be set with the speed setting knob 9 on the governor.

For more detailed description refer to the 'WOODWARD Bulletins', separately supplied with the governor actually
installed. It contains all the information on function, irregularities, maintenance and service.

The WOODWARD governors have an independent closed oil system. The oil level has to be maintained during ope
ration between the two markings of the oil level sight glass 7.

The governor is driven from the spur gear wheel on the camshaft. The vertical governor drive shaft is driven by a spur
gear wheel and a pair of bevel gear wheels (see group 5105-1).

Adjustments or repairs on the governor should only be carried out by specially trained personnel.

It is strongly recommended that a spare governor be kept on board which is already set up for the installation concer
ned.

Speed Governor
Speed Control System (Electronic) WOODWARD DCS 723 with PGAEG 58

1. General
The function of the speed governor is to maintain the engine speed constant, at a given rated value, i.e. the speed gover
nor controls the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder via the fuel pump regulating linkage in accordance with the
required load.
A further function of the governor is to protect the engine from unexpected operating conditions, or overload, by builtin
fuel limiters.
The WOODWARD DCS 723 governor is a digital electronic governor. The speed measuring is done electrically via
pickups on the tootling at the flywheel.
The PGAEG 58 governor/actuator is both an actuator for the electronic governor (EG part), which moves the fuel
pump regulating linkage to the position pregiven by the electronic governor and a complete mechanical/hydraulic
backup governor (PG part). For the PGAEG 58 backup governor, the speed detection and energy supply are provided
via the transmission of the governor drive.
The backup governor automatically takes over the speed governing at a slightly higher rated value, if the electronic
governor fails. Simultaneous setting of the rated value for the engine speed is carried out by the engine remote control
electrically to the electronic governor and pneumatically, via a current/pressure converter, to the backup governor. The
speed setting can be controlled with the manual speed setting knob directly on the governor for emergency operation
(see section 7).
The DCS 723 electronic governor is equipped with a charge air pressuredependent fuel limiter and a speeddependent
fuel limiter (torque limiter).
The backup governor is only provided for emergency operation and does not contain any fuel limiters. Operation is,
therefore, to be performed with extreme care.

3. Settings
The necessary settings in the electronic governor are made by the engine manufacturer during the engine test run, either
on the test bed, or during the sea trials of the ship. The exact settings are recorded, and are then part and parcel of the
acceptance documents of the engine.
Setting and repair of the electronic governor, as well as on the PGAEG 58 governor / actuator, should be made only by
specially instructed personnel. Alterations of the governor settings may only be undertaken with the written agreement
of the engine manufacturer.

4. Troubles
If the electronic governor fails, then the backup governor takes over control of the engine speed automatically.
If the actuator part of the PGAEG 58 governor / actuator does not function correctly, operation can be continued by
local operation with the backup governor.
Please refer to the manufacturer's documents for further troubleshooting.

5. Oil specifications for the PGAEG 58 governor / actuator


See WOODWARD Bulletin 25071.

6. Maintenance
No maintenance is required on the DCS 723 electronic governor.
Requirements for the PGAEG 58 are: Lifting up and replacing the governor, replacement of the governor oil, venting
of the oil system and setting of the needle valve. These are maintenance work, described in group 5103-1 of the Mainte
nance Manual.

7. Emergency operation

7.1. Failure of air pressure to the speed setting of the PGAEG 58


 If the pneumatic speed setting for the PGAEG 58 fails, the backup governor automatically takes over at the set mini
mum speed.
 The speed can be set with the speed setting knob at the PGAEG 58.
As soon as the speed setting knob is no longer needed, turn the speed setting knob again to the left till the stop, (mini
mum position).

Attention The speed setting knob is only to be used, if the pneumatic speed setting does not function any more
and the engine speed has to be regulated by the PGAEG 58 backup governor.
The speed setting knob may never be used when the setting for the PGAEG 58 takes place pneu
matically, as the pneumatic and mechanically set rated values, set on the speed setting knob, are
otherwise added together.

7.2. Failure of the DCS 723 electronic governor and of the PGAEG 58 governor / actuator
The engine can also be run provisionally in emergency operation without governor (see group 0340-1), if both regulat
ing possibilities have failed and the PGAEG 58 governor / actuator cannot be immediately replaced.

Speed Governor
Speed Control System (Electronic) ABB DEGO II with ASAC 70

1. General
The function of the speed governor is to maintain the engine speed constant, at a given rated value, i.e. the speed
governor controls the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder via the fuel pump regulating linkage in accordance with
the required load.
A further function of the governor is to protect the engine from unexpected operating conditions, or overload, by
builtin fuel limiters.

The ABB DEGO II speed control system consists of the following components:
- QHFD 112 . . . Governor unit for mediumspeed diesel engines for ship propulsion.
- ASAC 70 . . . . . Actuator (final control element) for the setting of the fuel pump regulating linkage.
- QHFD 420 . . . Power unit = power booster for ASAC 70.
- QHFD 490 . . . Transformer (current supply for the power unit).

The QHFD 112 governor is an analogous electronic governor. The speed detection takes place electrically via pickups
on a gear wheel of the camshaft drive.
The ASAC 70 actuator is a final control element for the electronic governor, which moves the fuel pump regulating
linkage to the position pregiven by the electronic governor.
The setting of the rated value for the engine speed is normally carried out electrically by the engine remote control to
the electronic governor.
The QHFD 112 electronic governor is equipped with a charge air pressuredependent fuel limiter and a speeddepen
dent fuel limiter (torque limiter).
The QHFD 500 is for load sharing, optionally for twin engine installation.

Speed Governor
Speed Control System (Electronic) WOODWARD 721 with PGGEG58

1. General
The function of the speed governor is to maintain the engine speed constant, at a given rated value, i.e. the speed
governor controls the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder via the fuel pump regulating linkage in accordance with
the required load.
The WOODWARD 721 speed control (721 speed control for short) is a digital electronic governor. The speed measu
ring is done electrically via a pickup on the flywheel.
The PGGEG 58 governor/actuator is both an actuator for the electronic governor (EG part), which moves the fuel
pump regulating linkage to the position pregiven by the electronic governor and a complete mechanical/hydraulic
backup governor (PG part). For the PGGEG 58 backup governor, the speed detection and energy supply are provi
ded via the transmission of the governor drive.
The interface board adapts the 721 speed control to the engine and provides the necessary signals for the backup
control.
Most of the signals from the 721 speed control and all of the signals to the PGGEG 58 are connected to the interface
board.
The manufacturer's documentation contains more exact descriptions and instructions regarding the interrelationship
between the speed control system and the remote control of the engine.

2. Automatic operation
The engine usually will be controlled by the power management system. In this case all the operations are done by the
automatic.
At engine start the 721 speed control receives a "start impulse" and then an impulse to go to "rated" speed. The syn
chronizer drives the 721 speed control to the appropriate speed and orders the circuit breaker to close when the requi
red speed has been read.
From this moment the 721 speed control controls the engine. It slowly loads its engine to the average load of the other
gensets. Then it shares the load with the other gensets in isochronous load sharing. The 721 speed control does the
laod sharing without any orders from outside. It receives the measured load on its genset and compares it with the
average load on all gensets being expressed on the load sharing lines.
After receiving the "unload impulse" the 721 speed control reduces the load (while the other gensets increase their
load) and finally gives an order to "open circuit breaker". After disconnection from the busbar the 721 speed control
can be stopped by the impulses "idle" and "stop".

3. Power management system failed and electronic speed control is working


The running engines share the load on the busbar as in fully automatic operation. Starting/stopping of engines, setting
the speed to idle/rated and giving the unload order has to be done manually by the user at the local control box in the
engine room.
To operate manually the user has to select "manual" engine control on the switch "manual/remote" and to press the
appropriate button "start", "stop", "idle", "rated" or "unload". The power meter or the mechanical load indicator of
the engine are indicated criteria, needed to start/stop an engine.
The synchronizer must work in order to synchronize a started engine automatically.

4. Synchronizer unit failure


The synchronization is done manually by the user at the main switch board in the control room. This requires an identi
fication of the frequency and the phaselag (bright/dark indication), and a switch to manually operate the circuit brea
ker and the working voltage control (or its manual backup).
To synchronize manually from the main switch board the user has to select "manual" speed setting on the switch "auto/
manual". The engine speed is influenced by the increase/decrease button according to the indication of the frequency
and the phaselag. If both gensets have the same frequency (and voltage) and the phaselag is zero the user has to close
the circuit breaker.

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 1 1996


5101–1/A4 Operation
ZA40S

5. 721 Digital speed control failure


The backup speed control takes over automatically if the 721 speed control fails. For this feature the backup gover
nor needs a slightly higher speed setting than the electronic speed control. The backup governor is running in speed
droop only. If the backup governor takes over the load increases a little (due to the higher speed setting).
To adjust the load the user selects "backup" speed control at the switch "electronic/backup" at the main switch board
in the control room. The load adjustment can be done by the increase/decrease button (the same as for synchroniza
tion).

6. Manual engine control


The engine runs on the backup governor by selecting "backup" speed control on the switch "electronic/backup". A
manual speed setting button to influence the engine speed is provided on the PGGEG governor.
The manual engine control is intended for service and commissioning work or at a combination of the above mentio
ned failures.

7. Settings
The necessary settings in the electronic governor are made by the engine manufacturer during the shop trial and the
sea trial. The exact settings are recorded and are part of the acceptance documents of the engine.
Setting and repair of the electronic governor, as well as on the PGGEG 58 governor/actuator, should be made only by
specially instructed personnel. Alterations of relevant governor settings may only be undertaken with the written
agreement of the engine manufacturer.

8. Troubles
If troubles occur the manufacturing documentation gives advice on possible causes and the measures to be taken.

9. Oil specifications for the PGGEG 58 governor/actuator

10.Maintenance
No maintenance is required on the 721 electronic governor.

Safety Cutout Device and Fuel Limitation

The engine is double protected against excessive speed:


1. An electropneumatic safety cutout device
2. A mechanical overspeed safety cutout device

1. Electropneumatic overspeed safety cutout


Each fuel injection pump has a pneumatic shutdown device which is connected via a collecting pipe with the electro
pneumatic valve. Under normal operating conditions, an electropneumatic valve arranged on the engine prevents the
supply of air (30 bar) to the pneumatic shutdown device on the fuel injection pumps, so that the governor can move
the regulating rack in way of the spring links.
One end of all the fuel regulating racks functions as a piston and is installed in the pneumatic shutdown device. The
electropneumatic valve itself is controlled by an electric monitoring device (see group 5501-1).
If the engine reaches overspeed, the electropneumatic valve receives a signal and opens. As a result of this compres
sed air (30 bar) enters the shutdown devices and pushes the fuel regulating racks of the fuel injection pumps towards
the control position "0". As a consequence of this, the fuel delivery is interrupted immediately, which leads to a reduc
tion in the speed of the engine. As soon as the speed reaches the maximum permissible limit again, the electropneu
matic valve closes and vents the shutdown device. Afterwards the governor controls the fuel injection pumps again
and brings the engine to the required speed .
The electric signal controlling the electropneumatic valve is generated by a pickup on the flywheel or the tachogene
rator, depending on the type of installation employed. The switching value is noted in the control and acceptance docu
ments for the engine.
In other words, the engine is not shut down completely by the pneumatic safety cutout in the event of overspeed, but
only brought to a lower speed and then released again.

2. Mechanical overspeed safety cutout (see Fig. 'A')


Should the electropneumatic overspeed safety cutout not actuate, then the engine is shut down by the mechanical
overspeed cutout which actuates at a higher engine speed then the electropneumatic safety cut-out. (for shutdown
speed, see control and acceptance documents for the engine)
This is effected in the following manner: As a result of centrifugal force, the adjustable, springloaded piston 12 disen
gages the pawl 7 from the cutout bar 4a. The bar - under the influence of the pretensioned spring 4b (over 100 kg) -
shoots immediately outwards and operates the lever 4. As a result of this, the regulating shaft of the fuel injection
pumps is turned in such a way that the delivery of fuel is interrupted immediately and the engine is brought to a stop.
The drive of the overspeed safety cutout is connected to the pressurised oil system of the engine.

Attention If the engine has been brought to a standstill by the mechanical overspeed safety cutout, it can not
be started again before the pawl 7 is engaged in the cutout bar 4a. This is effected by turning the
shaft with the hexagon 18 against the force of the spring 4b, using tool No. 9408.40 until the pawl 7
is engaged again. Prior to resetting the overspeed safety cutout, it must be ascertained why the
safety cutout has been actuated. In particular, investigations are to be made to determine why the
engine has not been stopped by the pneumatic safety cutout, which is set to actuate earlier.

The speed at which the safety cutout should actuate can be influenced by means of the adjusting screw 14. If the screw
is turned in a clockwise direction, the cutout point is lowered.
If the cutout speed is to be increased, i.e. by turning the adjusting screw 14 in an anticlockwise direction, make sure
that the adjusting screw does not project more than 5.5 mm from the cutout bar 11.
The springloaded locking balls 13 hold the adjusting screw 14 in the selected position (12 engagement positions
around the circumference).
The graphical representations on the following page show the change in the cutout point realized through turning the
adjusting screw.

bar).
The lever 5 - which during the starting manoeuvre moves towards load indicator position 10 - makes contact with the
piston 8 and therefore prevents the fuel pumps to deliver the maximum fuel oil quantity. This prevents hard and dan
gerous ignitions in the cylinders and excessive smoke. At a given point the automatic control system causes the air
under piston 8 to be released via the electropneumatic valve and, as a result of this, regulation of the fuel injection
pumps is taken over by the speed governor.

Fuel Injection Pump

Each cylinder has one injection pump. The fuel injection pump delivers fuel at high pressure to the fuel injector. With
the spring 18 pressing the guide piston 2 and roller 21 onto the fuel cam via lower spring plate 3, the plunger 15 is
brought into a pumping motion by the movement of the camshaft.
The amount of fuel injected is controlled by the upper and lower edges of the helical groove in the plunger.
Regulation of the injection pump is carried out by the axial movement of the regulating rack 7 whose teeth mesh on the
toothed regulating sleeve 9 causing it to turn. The sleeve is connected to the plunger 15 by carrier 'KM' so that the
plunger turns when the sleeve turns. Depending on the position of the plunger, the helical groove opens and closes the
supply and return ports to the fuel chambers 'ZR' and 'RR' either earlier or later.
The position of the helical groove controls the injection timing and hence the amount of fuel injected.
The regulating rack 7 is connected to the fuel regulating shaft through spring links. The regulating shaft is turned by the
governor via the fuel injection pump regulating rod (see group 5803-1).
Oil from the engine lubricating system is used as a sealingoil, to prevent fuel from leaking into the lubricating oil be
tween the plunger 15 and cylinder 14. The oil enters 'OE', from the engine lubricating oil pressure system, and flows
through the vertical drilling 'OB' to the circumferential groove 'ZN' in the pump cylinder, sealing off the fuel which has
leaked between plunger and cylinder. Part of the oil flows upwards and reaches the groove 'ON' where it mixes with
any fuel and drains out through the leakage drain 'LO'. The rest of the oil flows down the plunger 15 and returns to the
crankcase via holes in the guide piston 2. Due to the minimal clearance between the plunger and cylinder, the amount
of oil leaking from the sealingoil system is very small.
A pipe is connected to pump cover 11 at 'LF' through which the fuel can flow in the event of a high pressure fuel deliv
ery pipe breaking or if the screwed connections of same are not tight.
The rear part of the regulating rack 7 acts as piston 'KP' for the pneumatic safety cutout whereby the regulating rack 7
is pushed towards the '0' position as soon as air at 30 bar is blown in at connection 'SA' (Fig. 'A') . The air is controlled by
the corresponding control elements on the engine.

Remark Individual injection pumps can be taken out of service while the engine is running by fitting a dis
tance piece 71 mm long between the pump housing and clamp ring 8 (see Fig. 'B'). Three of these
distance pieces are supplied as tool 9455.11. Cutout of a fuel injection pump should only be car
ried out under emergency conditions.

Turbocharging

Depending on the number of cylinders, the nominal output and mode of operation, the turbocharger is selected and
adjusted to the engine.
Mode of operation, maintenance and service are described in the respective turbocharger manual of the manufac
turer. The cleaning of turbochargers is described in group 8339-1.

Principle of function

Exhaust gases 'GZ' from the cylinders 1 drive the turbine 7 of the exhaust gas turbocharger and are then exhausted to
'GA' through the exhaust system of the plant. The rotation of the turbine drives the blower 8 which is mounted on the
same shaft.
The blower 8 sucks in fresh air 'FL' from the engine room via the filtersilencer and compresses it, i.e. the charge air
pressure 'LL'. The compression process heats the charge air, which must be cooled down by the charge air cooler 10.
Depending on the humidity of the air, the cooling process produces a considerable amount of condensate water, which
is separated by the water separator 19. The condensate water is drained off by the permanent open drain 16.

Additional installations
On this modern highpowered engine further installations have been provided to exploit the high efficiency of the
turbocharger. Depending on the engine's application the following valves are applied either single or in combination
with the others.

Charge air bypass valve (18)

The charge air bypass valve 18 is generally only fitted to engines with variable speed. Its purpose is to return, at part
load, a certain amount of charge air 'LL' after the blower 8 into the exhaust pipe 6 (see group 6730-1).

Charge air wastegate (17)


On engines equipped with the charge air wastegate 17 operating in the upper load range, excess charge air is allowed
to escape into the engine room (see group 6735-1).

Exhaust gas wastegate (19)

For the power range above ER 1 (Economy Rating 1) the exhaust gas wastegate functions as a part load wastegate. In
the lower power range the charge air wastegate instead of the exhaust gas wastegate may be used as a part load waste
gate.
Controlled by the charge air pressure through control piping 20 and pressure retaining valve 21, part of the exhaust gas
'GZ' is thereby led to the gas outlet side 'GA', in other words shortcircuited (see group 8136-1).

Measuring Point for the Exhaust Gas Back Pressure

The exhaust gas back pressure is an important value for the engine operation. For this reason and to ensure correct inter
pretation, the measuring point has been clearly defined.

Remark The exhaust gas back pressure, measured at this point at full load, is too high and must be considered
with a correction value of 300 mm WG, i.e. 300 mm WG must be deducted from the measured value
in order to obtain the effective value. Admissible values see Gr. 0230-1.

At engine standstill, remove the the plug 4 and the retaining nut from the measuring connection 3. Connect a Utube,
using a pipe line 5 of approx. 0.5 m length with suitable bolting and plastic hose.
As a makeshift, a transparent plastic hose 6 of sufficient length can be used as a Utube (see Fig. 'B').
After the measurement, apply a heatproof lubricant on the plug 4 and screw it down together with the retaining nut.

Charge Air Cooler and Cleaning


TwoStage Charge Air Cooler

General

The charge air cooler (CAC for short) is arranged after the blower outlet of the turbocharger. Its duty is to cool the
compressed and thereby heated charge air before it passes into the engine cylinders through the water separator, re
ceiver space and air branch. The CAC is a twostage twoway cooler, i.e. the water enters the part 10 from the bottom,
is reversed at the other cooler end and leaves the cooler at the same front end at the cooler part 7. This method assures
an equal distribution of the temperature drop across the whole CAC.
The t w o  s t a g e compact CAC 9 is only applied to the central cooling system using treated fresh water.
The first stage of this CAC has been provided for the high temperature circuit 'HT', which first cools the charge air and
afterwards the engine (cylinder cooling).
The second stage of this CAC is used for the low temperature cooling circuit 'NT' which cools the charge air before
cylinder to the required temperature (please also refer to schematic diagram group 8300-1).
Illustrations 'A' show the arrangement of the turbocharger and the CAC on the example of a 6 ZAL40S engine. As
required the charging groups can be mounted either at the free end or at the driving end of the engine. ZAV40S engi
nes are equipped with two charging groups.

Operation

In operation charge air must always flow from the drain connections 12.
Obstructed or blocked drain connections must immediately be cleaned out.
Should water issue from drain connections, it must be established, whether this is condensate (precipitation at high air
humidity) or cooling water (leakage in the CAC or leaking Orings of the cylinder liners).

Fouling in operation

Waterside fouling of the CAC causes reduction of the temperature difference between cooling water inlet and outlet.
Cleaning must be carried out at standstill and in accordance with instructions in the Maintenance Manual. In case of
airside fouling the pressure difference across the CAC is increasing (p indication in mm w.g.). The temperature
difference of the charge air across the CAC is decreasing. Airside fouled CACs can be the source of black sooty ex
haust or the socalled "surging" of the turbocharger. (Cleaning at standstill is described in the Maintenance Manual,
group 6601-1).

Airside, in service washing of the CAC

On engines with builton washing plant (refer to Fig. 'B').


- Close shutoff cock 'AU', open 'AE' and 'AF'.
- Fill container with cleaning agent in accordance with cleaning agent maker's instructions.
- Close shutoff cocks 'AE' and 'AF'.
- Connect compressed air from board system by quickrelease coupling and open shutoff cock 'AL'.
- Open shutoff cock 'AU' to the CAC. The contents of the container is sprayed through the nozzles into the CAC.
- After about ten minutes close shutoff cocks 'AU' and 'AL'.
- Repeat cleaning operation but use clean water in place of cleaning agent.
- After this close the shutoff cocks 'AF', 'AL' and 'AU' and open 'AE'.

The pressure difference across the CAC (in comparison with the value prior to the washing operation) indicates the
effectiveness of the washing. Should the washing produce no effect, then the CAC must be cleaned at standstill in
accordance with instructions from the Maintenance Manual.

Remark Detailed instructions on operation maintenance and repairs of charge air coolers are contained in
the separately issued instructions leaflet of the cooler manufacturer.

Charge Air Bypass

General

Turbochargers with improved efficiency are installed to reduce fuel consumption. To prevent 'surging' of the turbo
charger at partial load operation, excess charge air from the blower is led via the charge air bypass into the exhaust gas
manifold before the turbine (see group 6500-1).
In principle the charge air bypass valve is only fitted to engines which are operated at variable speed. For safety reasons
the valve may also be applied in ships with controllable pitch propellers where the engine runs at constant speed, so
that for emergency operation the plant can be operated the same as with a fixed pitch propeller.
The control of the charge air bypass valve is speed and load dependent.
The charge air bypass valve opens if between 63% and 93% of nominal engine speed and if the engine load rises above
load indicator position 3.5.

Function
The constant control air pressure on 'SL' pushes the toothed rack towards position 'BYPASS CLOSED'. By the signal
'to open' from the control logic box, the 3/2way solenoid valve 4 opens and control air enters cylinder 8 and shifts the
toothed rack 1 in the direction 'BO', whereby the valve flap 5 opens. The limit switch 7 monitors the correct position of
the valve flap 5 during operation. Should the flap be in the wrong position, an alarm is triggered.

Functional check of monitoring in operation

The functional check can be carried out at any load, as the monitor must indicate a faulty flap position at any time. For
the check proceed as follows:
Turn the flap with a hexagonal spanner opposite the operating position and hold it there.
Check whether the alarm is triggered after abt. 3 seconds (It is possible that the turbine begins to surge when operating
at partial load).

Charge Air WasteGate

General
The main purpose of the wastegate is the improvement of the acceleration ability of the engine.
Turbochargers of engines equipped with a wastegate attain the maximum charge air pressure at about 85% up to 91%
of MCR (Maximum Continuous Rating). The opening start of the wastegate is dependent on the engine rating. Engi
nes designed for MCR have the opening start at about 85%, engines designed for ER l (Economy Rating l) have the
opening start at about 88% and engines designed for ER ll (Economy Rating ll) have the opening start at about 91%.
The wastegate starts to open at these points mentioned until it is fully open at 100% MCR, thereby maintaining a
constant charge air pressure. Beyond 100% load the charge air pressure rises further, as not more charge air is blown
off via the wastegate than at 100% load.
An additional advantage of the wastegate is an improvement in smoke emission at low loads and during acceleration
and, compared with the standard engine, lower exhaust temperatures after the turbine at the load at which the waste
gate opens.
The surplus of charge air after the charge air cooler is blown through the wastegate and a silencer directly into the
engine room. The air is dry and has a charge air temperature of about 40C.

Function

Piston 6 is shut by pressure spring 5 and charge air pressure. A bore is provided in piston 6 which supplies space 'A' with
charge air. Pressure regulating valve 1 regulates the out flowing air and with this the pressure in space 'A'. When the
charge air pressure rises, the pressure in space 'A' rises accordingly.
From the above mentioned start of opening, piston 6 opens slowly and charge air flows into the engine room (or, de
pending on the installation, into the open).

Checking the setting: (This is only necessary after remedies of defects, dismantling or replacement of the wastega
te).

Valve stroke: The simplest way is at standstill, but definitely below 80% load (piston 6 must be shut). Loosen
lock nut 2, screw in adjusting screw 3 till the stop then turn back adjusting screw 3 by the value
indicated in the setting table (one turn = 1.5 mm).

Holding pressure: The holding pressure for the pressure regulating valve 1 is set with tool no. 9408.26f.
Operate the engine at 100% load. Compare charge air pressure with the setting table, if neces
sary adjust with the pressure regulating valve.
Connect pressure gauge (range 04 bar) to connection 4 and compare pressure readings with
the setting table. In case of a major deviation, establish its cause or consult the manufacturer.

Charge air pressure: The charge air pressure must be continuously watched during operation, in order to prevent
damage due to excessive ignition pressures.
The setting for the alarm CHARGE AIR PRESSURE HIGH must therefore be checked peri
odically. (Alarm point = charge air pressure at 110% load, according to setting table)

Lubricating Oil Pump with Pressure Relief Valve
EngineDriven Pumps

General

The oil pump is mounted only on nonreversible engines and then only in special cases. As long as the engine is running
oil is pumped to the engine components connected to the pressurized oil circuit.
The pump is designed in such a way that it can be used for right and lefthand turning engines. This is achieved by
interchanging the wheels 10 and 13.
The Oring, inserted in the groove of the pump flange seals against the front cover.
The built on pressure and safety valve protects the pump against excessive pressure and also regulates the pressure
before the filter and the bearings.

Function
If the pressure should increase in the chambers 'DR' and 'DR1', which are connected by the bores 'VB', the slide valve
1 is pressed outwards against the force of the spring 17. As a result of this, a corresponding amount of oil escapes from
the space 'DR1' into the space 'DR2'. If the pressure continues to increase, the valve opens more (closes in the event of
a decrease) so that a pressure is built up which remains constant. The theoretical valve opening pressure is 7.8 bar.
The drive wheel 5 is attached to the pump shaft by means of a waisted screw 7, which has to be tightened according to
special instructions (see Maintenance Manual, group 7101-1).

TwoStage Charge Air Cooler

Remark Normally the cooling water is pumped through the engine cooling circuits by electric motor driven
pumps. Engines with 'builton pumps' (for example diesel generators) have their pumps driven
directly off the crankshaft (see groups 7505-1 and 7506-1).

The water cooling is divided into three separate circuits, namely:


- Cylinder cooling with treated fresh water in a closed circuit.
- Fuel injection valve and nozzle cooling with treated fresh water.
- Charge air cooling for twostage compact charge air cooler only with treated fresh water in a closed
circuit.

The circuits of the three systems within the engine are shown on the diagram 'A' for twostage compact charge air

Fuel Oil Diagram


for Single Engine Plant

Fuel oil system (Fig. 'A')


The fuel oil to the fuel injection pumps is fed by a booster pump installed either in the plant or on the engine. The
volume of fuel delivered by this pump is considerably larger than required by the engine injection. At the end of the
return pipe 7 a pressure retaining valve 6 is installed, on which the specified feed pressure (see group 0230-1) can be
set. The excess fuel oil is returned to the system.
The high pressure injection piping 3 is additionally encased for safety reasons.
For heavy fuel oil service the fuel piping is heated and insulated.
Leakages from high pressure pipes 3 are controlled by fuel leakage monitoring 13 which triggers an alarm when the
amount is exceeded.
If an alarm is triggered the leakage must immediately be localized and stopped. The float housing must be drained by
means of the ball cock 14.
The cover of the fuel leakage monitoring has to be removed and all parts must be cleaned to ascertain full float opera
tion after an alarm has been triggered. If not the heavy fuel would clog float and no alarm would warn of future leak
ages.
To reduce the pressure surges produced by the injection pumps, throttling orifices are fitted in the connections to the
feed and return pipes on the injection pumps.
The shutoff valves 11 and 12 are normally only installed on marine engines.

Setting the pressure retaining valves (Fig. 'B')

For adjustment loosen the lock nut 1 and tighten again after the adjustment is completed.
To reduce the pressure turn the adjusting spindle 6 in an anticlockwise direction (-).
To increase the adjustable pressure, turn the adjusting spindle 6 in a clockwise direction (+).
The fuel pressure before and after the fuel injection pump can be read at the pressure gauge on the instrument panel
10 by changing over the threeway ball valve 15. During operation, the pressure gauge should show the pressure before
fuel injection pump.

Fuel Oil Diagram


for Multi Engine Plant

Fuel oil is delivered to the injection pumps 2 via supply pipe 1 by an electricallydriven booster pump installed in the
plant. The delivered fuel quantity is considerably greater than actually required by the engine. The surplus fuel is led
back to the system via return pipe 6. A pressure regulating valve is built in the plant and maintains the pressure in the
system (see group 0230-1).
If an engine must be stopped, it can be isolated from the fuel oil system by means of 3/2way valve 16.

Remark The fuel oil can be drained at the cock 15 for carrying out maintenance works in the fuel oil system.

To reduce the pressure surges produced by the fuel injection pumps 2, orifices 8 have been fitted in the connections to the
supply and return pipes on the fuel injection pumps.
The shutoff valves 17 and 18 are normally only installed on marine engines.
The fuel pressure before and after the fuel injection pump can be read at the pressure gauge on the instrument panel 14
by changing over the threeway ball valve 13. During operation, the pressure gauge should show the pressure before fuel
injection pump.
For heavy fuel operation, preheating as well as keeping warm during a short engine stop must be absolutely assured.
Therefore, and for reasons of safety, all pipes are provided with heating pipes and encased accordingly.
Leakages from high pressure pipes 3 are controlled by fuel leakage monitoring 10 which triggers an alarm when the
amount is exceeded.
If an alarm is triggered the leakage must immediately be localized and stopped. The float housing must be drained by
means of the ball cock 12.
Cover has to be removed and all parts must be cleaned to ascertain full float operation after an alarm has been triggered.
If not the heavy fuel would clog float and no alarm would warn of future leakages.
Leakages 'LB' from the fuel injection pumps 2, the fuel injection valves 5 and from the high pressure pipes 3 are collected
and drained on the plant side.
Fuel oil samples for laboratory analysis are taken at cock 16.

Exhaust Gas Waste-Gate

General
Engines with high cylinder outputs consume the whole turbocharger potential. However, in order to make full use of
the wide utility spectrum of the engine in marine or stationary plants, as well as improve the fuel economy and the
acceleration performance, an exhaust gas waste-gate can be provided (see group 6500---1).
The exhaust gas waste-gate functions similar to the charge air waste-gate.
If the maximum admissible charge air pressure is reached, part of the exhaust gas is bypassed directly into the gas
outlet after the turbine in order to limit the energy supplied to the turbine.

Function
The exhaust gas waste-gate valve is fitted after the turbocharger to a flange on the transition socket to the gas outlet
piping. Immediately before entering the turbine, part of the exhaust gas is branched-off from the exhaust pipe, via
branch piping, and led to the waste-gate. When the valve opening pressure is reached, valve 2 opens and exhaust gas
escapes to the gas outlet piping.
The control of valve 2 is effected by the pressure of the charge air which reaches balance piston 4 via connection piping
8. The closing forces are provided by compression spring 5 and control air pressure on piston 3. The retaining pressure
is adjusted by pressure reducing valve 10 at full load.
The basic setting of valve stroke ’VH’ is done with adjusting plate 7.
The function and setting of the valve stroke are checked visually by means of the adjusting plate 7.
On engines with part load waste-gate the turbocharger is specially tuned for part load operation.
The turbocharger reaches the nominal charge air pressure at about 85% to 91% of MCR.
at MCR . . . the valve opens at about 85%;
at ER1 . . . . the valve opens at about 88%;
at ER2 . . . . the valve opens at about 91%. (ER = ECONOMY RATING)
At approximately this load point the valve opens progressively until, at 100% load, it is completely open.

Load engine up to just before the corresponding opening point.
The waste-gate valve must remain shut.
Slowly increase engine load up to 100%.
The waste-gate valve must open continuously. Adjusting plate 7 lowers itself till the valve stroke ’VH’ is reached.
Should faults occur during this operational test, or should other defects be found then the fault must be remedied (see
Maintenance Manual group 8136---1).

Wärtsilä Italia S.p.A. 1 05.03


8136--1/A2 Operation ZA40S

Checking the setting (only to be done after a defect, dismantling or after replacement of parts).
A check or setting can only be performed with turbocharger and charge air cooler in perfect condition.
Setting the valve stroke: With the valve shut move the adjusting plate 7 for stroke limitation inwards to the
stop. Then move it outwards to the valve stroke ’VH’ and lock it with the lock nut.

Attention The engine is not to be operated above 85% to 90% load with the waste-gate valve compulsorily
closed. Inadmissible high firing pressures!

Setting the holding pressure: Bring engine power to 100% load without, however, exceeding the admissible
(with engine running) 100% value of charge air pressure.
Set the holding pressure using the pressure gauge (range 0---4 bar from tool No.
9408.26) on pressure reducing valve 10 (measuring point 12).
Charge air pressure: The charge air pressure must be permanently monitored during operation.
The setting for the alarm CHARGE AIR PRESSURE TOO HIGH must therefore
be checked periodically.

Cleaning the Turbocharger in Operation (ABB VTR ..4)

1. Washing the BLOWER


There are two different installations for washing the blower. (Fig. `A` and 'B')
The periodical washing of the blower in service should generally be done daily or at least every 25 to 75 service hours.
By injecting water the blower can be cleaned in service as long as the dirt accumulation has not progressed too far. If
the dirt deposits have become excessive and hard, the turbocharger has to be dismantled for cleaning.
The cleaning effect is based on the water solubility of the deposits and on the mechanical action of the impinging water
droplets.
Only fresh water may be used without any cleaning agents or solvents and under no circumstances salt water!
The frequent washing of the blower prevents or delays heavy fouling, but does not replace the normal overhaul (follow
the instructions of the turbocharger manufacturer).
The washing should be executed at a high engine load in order to have sufficient charge air pressure.
The cleaning effect can be noted by an increase in the charge air pressure or by a reduction in the exhaust gas tempera
ture. Should the washing show no results, the process can be repeated at the earliest 10 minutes later.
After the washing of the blower, the engine should continue to run on load for at least 5 minutes.

1.1 Washing procedure (Fig. 'A')


- Remove plug 5 on proportioning vessel 2.
- Fill proportioning vessel with fresh water.
- Push valve grip 4 against spring 3 and hold it there for about 10 seconds until the water is injected.

1.2 Washing procedure (Fig. 'B')


- Loosen the grip screw 9 and lift off the cover 4.
- Fill the water tank 1 to about 10 mm below the edge with clean water.
- Replace the cover 4 and fasten with the grip screw 9.
- Press knob 6 and hold it down until the water has been injected (about 4-10 seconds).

2. Washing the TURBINE


Dirt accumulation in the turbine results mainly in a rise of the charge air pressure and the exhaust gas temperatures
after cylinder and before the turbine, and in extreme cases in surging. The dirt accumulation is mainly influenced by
the quality of the fuel consumed, therefore the periods between washings in service must be adjusted to suit the prevai
ling conditions. The washing in service is intended to prevent or delay a heavy fouling of the turbine. It does not howe
ver replace a thorough cleaning during an overhaul (follow the instructions of the turbocharger manufacturer).
The cleaning in service is best carried out on a routine basis. Regular wet cleaning is recommended, at first every
100-200 running hours (e.g. once a week). Depending on the contamination observed during turbocharger overhaul,
the cleaning interval should be adapted accordingly (48 - 500 hours).
Only clean fresh water without detergents or solvents is to be used for wet cleaning.
If an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) installation is fitted, the ammonia or urea injection must be stopped before
the turbine is washed. After cleaning, the injection should only be restarted once the exhaust temperature before clea
ning has been reached again.
The drain cock 16 must be opened daily at least once for a short time to prevent it from clogging.

2.1 Washing procedure (Fig. 'B' and 'C')

Attention The water supply pressure during turbine washing should be 3-5 bar. This pressure is to be
checked immediately in front of the shut-off cock 7.
Too frequent cleaning produces an unnecessary load on the turbine components.

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 1 1996


8339–1/A1 Operation
ZA40S

- The engine load prior to turbine washing should be adjusted so that the charge air pressure is a minimum of 0.3 bar
and the exhaust gas temperature before turbine a maximum of 430°C . An exhaust gas temperature before turbine
of 400-430°C should be aimed for (wait for the exhaust gas temperature to stabilize). If the load has to be signifi
cantly reduced prior to cleaning, wait for 5-10 minutes before injecting the water in order to avoid thermal shock
loading of the turbine components.
- Open the drain connection on the gas outlet casing and check that it is not blocked. A discharge of exhaust gas must
be observed.
- Attach the water supply line to the water washing pipe 10 by means of the quick release coupling 5.
- Open the water supply line from the installation and the shut-off cock 7 on the engine. Inject water for 5 to 10
minutes.
On no account must the charge air pressure fall below 0.2 bar during turbine cleaning (so that the labyrinth on the
turbine side has sufficient sealing air) or the exhaust gas temperature before turbine increase above 500°C, otherwise
the engine load is to be adjusted accordingly.
To check that enough water is being injected, note whether the exhaust gas temperature after turbine drops to
50-150°C . A discharge of water from the drain connection of the gas outlet casing is possible but does not serve as a
guide.
- Close the shut-off cock 7 and the water supply valve .
- Remove the water connection by means of the quick release coupling 5.
- The engine load should be increased slowly after turbine washing.

On no account must the engine be shut down immediately after turbine washing. It should be operated for at least 15
minutes with a temperature after turbine of 300°C or more in order to dry out the complete exhaust gas installation.
- Close the drain cock 16.

3. Dry cleaning of the TURBINE


The criteria for a dry cleaning in service of the turbine are the same as those already described under 'in service clea
ning of the turbine with fresh water'.
In the place of fresh water an amount of dry solids in the form of granulate, the quantity depends on the size of the
turbine, have to be blown into the exhaust pipe before the gas inlet housing by compressed air.
The solid particles shall be natural core granulate because of their hardness, broken or artificially shaped particles of
coal of granulate size 1.2mm to max. 2.0 mm.
The solid particles act by cleaning mechanically. However, as the relatively small quantity of solid particles are able to
abrade a lesser thickness of incrustation, this method of cleaning has to be applied more often than the cleaning with
fresh water.
As a rule a turbine should be cleaned with the solid particle method every 24 to 5. operating hours.
To achieve optimal cleaning results, the exhaust gas temperature before the turbine should be between 550°C and
580°C, i.e. cleaning has to be done at unreduced or only slightly reduced engine load.

3.1 Cleaning procedure ( Fig. 'D' )


On engines having more than one turbocharger, these shall be cleaned one after the other.
- Remove cap coupling 18 and connect air hose with quick coupling 19 to container 20.
- Open cock 21. Following this, open compressed air valve 22 and shut it again after a short period. By this, possible
sediments or condensate water are blown out of the container 20 and the cleaning piping 23.
- Shut cock 21.
- Separate air hose with quick coupling 19 from the container 20.
- Using a funnel, fill in the following quantity of dry solid granulate into the air connection to the container 20:
for turbocharger VTR 354 . . . . . 1  1.6 liters
for turbocharger VTR 454 . . . . . 1.6  2 liters
- Reconnect air hose with quick coupling 19 to container 20.
- Open cock 21.
- Open compressed air valve 22 and shut it again after 1 to 1.5 minutes. During this time the filledin quantity of solid
granulate is blown in.
- Shut cock 21.
- Separate air hose with quick coupling 19 from container 20 and fit cap coupling 18.

Attention Water drain opening in gas outlet housing 14 remains shut during dry cleaning operation.
There is a possibility that, with this dry cleaning method of the turbine, part of the blownin granu
late escapes outside in singed condition.

Instrument Panel on the Engine

The instrument panel is mounted above the local control stand near the speed governor.
With the precision control valves 9 the conduits to the pressure gauges 3 can be shut. Should, due to the pulsating pressu
re, one of the pointers vibrate too much , then slightly reduce the flow with the respective precision control valve 9 until
the pointer remains steady.
For pressures and temperatures see group 02301.
The engine speed can be watched on the builtin tachometer 4.

Oil Mist Detection


GRAVINER Oil Mist Detector

Where rules or laws demand it or when the customer orders it specially, the engine is equipped with an oil mist detec
tor. This device continuously measures the density of oil mist in the crankcase and triggers an alarm when the oil mist
intensity is to a high.
With this, possible bearing damage can be detected at an early stage and explosions be prevented in the crankcase.

If there is an alarm:

Attention Risk of explosion, keep away from engine! Avoid staying in front of the explosion relief valves (see
group 0350-1 and 1603-1).

- Should the engine be shut down (manually or by the monitoring unit) because of a suspected overheating of the
running gear, then neither the covers nor the casings of the crankcase may be opened immediately.
- The overheated parts must cool down for at least 20 minutes, to prevent an ignition due to the access of fresh air.
- Fire extinguishing equipment should be kept close at hand when the crankcase or engine housing is subse
quently opened.

Function

The oil mist detector 1 is mounted on the EXHAUST SIDE of the engine. From each cylinder of the crankcase space, a
sampling pipe 2 leads to the oil mist detector 1.
Via the individual suction pipes 3 oil mist samples are drawn in periodically and checked for their intensity. In case of
inadmissibly high density the device triggers an alarm.
Via return pipe 4 the oilair mixture is again led back to the crankcase.
As the oil mist detector may have been supplied by various manufacturers we refer to the more detailed description of
each make. The manufacturer's documentation also contains instructions regarding maintenance work, commissio
ning etc. which must be followed.

Main Bearing Temperature Monitoring

Where required by regulations or at the request of the customer, the temperature of the main bearings can be monito
red while the engine is running. In such cases, temperature sensors 3, as shown in Fig. 'A' are fitted into the main bea
ring covers 1 which transmit a temperaturerelated signal to a monitoring instrument. Depending upon the installa
tion, this instrument can give an alarm or immediately stop the engine when the preset temperature is exceeded.
The arrangement of the temperature sensors for normal main bearings is shown in Fig. 'A' and for the locating bearing
in Fig. 'B'.
The screws which hold the clamps 4 have to be secured with locking wire.
The temperature sensors are continuously pressed against the bottom of the hole in the bearing cover by spring 9. In
order to secure the unions 10 in the main bearing cover, their threads have to be smeared with LOCTITE before they
are screwed in. This is not necessary with union l0a, since this temperature sensor is located outside the engine hou
sing.
