The MAN EcoCam is a new solution for
the low-load optimisation of mechanical
engines (MC/MC-C). The EcoCam makes
it possible to adjust the closing time of
exhaust valves according to engine load.
Benefits
„ Cost-efficient, part-load optimisation for
engines with a single turbocharger
„ Easy to install
„ Easy to operate (automatic)
„ Effective between 10 to 60% load
„ Short pay-back time
„ No exchange of exhaust cam required.
MAN EcoCam function
The MAN EcoCam introduces a flexible
controlled hydraulically by adjusting the
amount of actuator oil in the hydraulic
pushrod.
Low-load tuning has an impact on tor-
sional vibration and NOX. When a low-load
tuning method is installed on an engine,
the torsional vibrations’ impact and the
NOX level have to be taken into account
to ensure that the vibrations’ impact is not
harming the engine and that the NOX level
is in compliance with IMO regulations.
The new torsional vibration calculation and
NOX amendment are included when buy-
ing the MAN EcoCam.

Fuel Savings and Payback
Depending on an engine’s load profile, the MAN EcoCam typically generates savings in
the range of 2 to 4 g/kWh. This results in a payback period of as little as 1½ years for a
6S50MC-C engine with 6,000 annual running hours.
