General description
The Wartsila”32 Common Rail engine is designed for continuous
light or heavy fuel duty. The engine can be started and stopped
on heavy fuel provided that the fuel is heated to operating
temperature, the fuel feed system is pressurized to stated value
and the jacket water is preheated to described temperature, see
chapter 03.
‘As the fuel feed system can vary widely from one installation to
another, it is not described in detail in this manual, Read the
installation specific instructions for further information.
A pump (11) delivers the fuel pressurized to the engine through
afilter (17). The pressure in the engine system is maintained by
an adjustable throttle valve or a pressure regulating valve (13)
The fuel is circulated through the engine high pressure pumps
(18), back to the deaeration tank (10), see Fig 17-1.
It is of great importance that the fuel treatment before the
engine is done properly. The lifetime of the high pressure pumps,
the injection valves and other fuel injection parts depends highly
on the fuel filtration efficiency. The performance of the engine is
also dependent of the condition of the fuel injection equipment.
Worn pumps decreases the power output and increases the ther-
mal load of the engine.
The fuel feed pressure and temperature are monitored on the
Local Display Unit (LDU) located on the engine.
Clean and dirty leak fuel oil is collected in separate enclosed
systems. The clean leak fuel can be reused. The dirty leak oil
system collects waste oil from the top level of the engine block as
well as fuel and water arising e.g. when overhauling cylinder
heads.
‘The high pressure fuel oil system with high pressure pumps,
accumulators and injection valves, are described in chapter 16.

Maintenance
17.3
When maintaining the fuel feed system, always observe utmost
cleanliness. Pipes, tanks, pumps, filters, heaters and viscosime-
ters, included in the engine delivery or not, should be carefully
cleaned before taken into use,
Run the engine for a while on light fuel oil before doing any
maintenance to the fuel oil system, if the engine has been running,
on heavy fuel oil
‘The fuel should always be separated and it is recommendable
to install an automatic filter in the fuel treatment system.
Always when the system has been opened, it should be vented
after reassembly, see section 17.3.
For maintenance of the fuel treatment equipment not mounted
on the engine, see separate instructions.
Venting
17.4
Start the fuel feed pump if the static pressure from the day tank
is not sufficient.
Always vent the filter housing after changing cartridges in the
filter.
Adjusiment of fuel system
Check the adjustment at intervals recommended in chapter 04.
Adjust the valves at normal temperatures with an idling engine.
[1 Adjust the fuel system before engine according to the in-
stallation specific instructions or by following steps 2 to 5.
2| The fuel feed pumps (7) maintain a system pressure of
3-4 bar. The pressure is adjusted on the pressure regulating
valve (8) when the valve (15) is closed.
3| The safety valves (9) on the fuel feed pumps should be
adjusted to 12 bar and locked when the valves (16) are closed. The
purpose of the safety valve is only to protect the pump.
[4] The fuel circulating pumps (11) keep the fuel in constant
circulation and maintain a system pressure between the circu-
lating pumps and the pressure regulating valve (13). Adjust
the opening pressure of the pressure regulating valve to 10 bar.
5| The safety valves (12) on the fuel circulating pumps
should be adjusted to 12 bar and locked when the valves (14)
are closed. The purpose of the safety valve is only to protect the
pump.

These adjustments should be carried out rapidly as the pumps
may run hot if the system is closed for a lengthy time.
6] The pressure regulating valve/adjustable orifice (3)
should be adjusted according as follows. Raise the pressure in
the system slowly by closing the valve/ orifice (3), until the
pressure reaches the value stated in chapter 01
7| Adjust the other engines according to workstep de-
scribed above.
8] Check that the fuel oil pressures in all engines are ac-
cording to chapter O1., section 01.2.
17.4.1 Preheating of fuel oil
Preheating of the fuel oil is needed to achive correct viscosity of
heavy fuel oil. The fuel system is preheated as follows:
[1] Switch on the fuel feed pump and the booster pump.
2| Switch on the fuel heater (20) and check that the fuel oil
temperature monitored on the electric control unit display
starts rising. The Flow Control Valve (21) mounted on one of
the high pressure pump is at this stage fully opened by the
WECS engine control system to enable circulation through the
pumps (18), the accumulators (22), the SSV-valves (23) and
through the 3-way valve (24)
