00.3 Terminology
The most commonly used terms in this manual are defined as follows,
see also Fig 00-1:
Operating side and rear side: Details located on the operating side
may be marked with "M" (Manoeuvering) and correspondingly "B" for
the back side of the engine (B-bank on a V-engine).
Driving end: The end of the engine where the flywheel is located.
Free end: The end opposite the driving end.
Clockwise rotating engine: When looking at the engine from the
driving end the shaft rotates clockwise.
Counter-clockwise rotating engine: When looking at the engine
from the driving end the shaft rotates counter-clockwise.
Bottom dead centre, abbreviated BDC, is the bottom turning point
of the piston in the cylinder.
Top dead centre, abbreviated TDC, is the top turning point of the
piston in the cylinder. TDC for every cylinder is marked on the
graduation of the flywheel.
Top dead centre at firing: During a complete working cycle, consist-
ing of two crankshaft revolutions in a four-stroke engine, the piston
reaches TDC twice:
a) TDC at scavenging: For the first time when the exhaust stroke of
the previous working cycle ends and the suction stroke of the following
one begins. Exhaust valves as well as inlet valves are then partially
open and scavenging takes place. If the crankshaft is turned backwards
and forwards from TDC position, both exhaust and inlet valves will
move, a fact that indicates that the crankshaft is near the position
which is called TDC at scavenging.

b) TDC at firing: The second time is after the compression stroke and
before the working stroke. Slightly before this TDC the fuel injection
takes place (on an engine in operation) and this TDC can therefore be
defined TDC at firing. In this case, all valves are closed and do not move
if the crankshaft is turned. When watching the camshaft and the
injection pump it is possible to note that the pump tappet roller is on
the lifting side of the fuel cam.
Designation of cylinders:
According to ISO recommendation 1204 and DIN 6265 the designation
of cylinders begins at the driving end. In a V-engine the cylinders in
the left bank, seen from the driving end, are termed A1, A2 etc. and in
the right bank B1, B2 etc.

Designation of bearings
Main bearings:
The flywheel bearing is No. 0, the first standard main bearing is No.
1, the second No. 2 etc., see Fig 00-2.
Thrust bearings:
The thrust bearing rails are located in the flywheel bearing. The outer
rails close to the flywheel are marked with "00" and the inner rails with
"0".
Camshaft bearings:
The camshaft bearings are designated the same as the main bearings
and the thrust bearing bushings are designated "00" (outer) and "0".
Camshaft gear bearings:
The bearings is a located on the flywheel side are designated "00" and
the inner bearings "0".
Upper and lower bearings shells:
In bearings where both shells are identical, the upper one is marked
with "UP".

operation with LFO): If gas oil or marine diesel oil is continuously used
as fuel, lubricating oil with a BN of 10-20 is recommended to be used.
In periodic operation with natural gas and light fuel oil lubricating oil
with a BN of 10-15 is recommended.
1)
Periodic operation with natural gas and light fuel oil as a main fuel.
2)
Continuous operation with light fuel oil as a main fuel.
Additives. The oils should contain additives that give good oxidation
stability, corrosion protection, load carrying capacity, neutralisation of
acid combustion and oxidation residues and should prevent deposit
formation on internal engine parts (piston cooling gallery, piston ring
zone and bearing surfaces in particular).
Foaming characteristics. Fresh lubricating oil should meet the follow-
ing limits for foaming tendency and stability, according to the ASTM
D 892-92 test method:
· Sequence I:100/0 ml
· Sequence II:100/0 ml
· Sequence III:100/0 ml
In this test a certain amount of air is blown through the lubricating oil
sample. The first number in the results is the foam volume after a
blowing period of 5 minutes and should be less than or equal to 100 ml.
The second number is the foam volume after a settling period of 10
minutes and should always be 0 ml.
Sequences I and III are performed at a temperature of 24 °C and
sequence II at a temperature of 93.5 °C.
Base oils. Use of virgin base oils is only allowed, i.e. recycled or
re-refined base oils are not allowed.

chapter.
Note! Never blend different oil brands unless approved by the oil supplier,
and during the warranty period, by the engine manufacturer.
Attention! Before using a lubricating oil not listed in the table the engine
manufacturer must be contacted. Lubricating oils that are not
approved have to be tested according to the engine manufac-
turer’s procedures.
Note! The separator should run always when the engine is running.

All systems:
b) During the first year of operation it is advisable to take samples of the
lubricating oil at 500 operating hours intervals. The sample should be
sent to the oil supplier for analysis. On the basis of the results it is
possible to determine suitable intervals between oil changes. Frequent
oil analysis at 500 - 1000 operating hours intervals is also recom-
mended after the first year of operation to ensure safe engine operation.
To be representative of the oil in circulation, the sample should be
taken with the engine in operation at the sampling cock located
immediately after the oil filter on the engine, in a clean container
holding 0.75 - 1 litre. Take samples before, not after adding new oil to
compensate for consumption. Before filling the container, rinse it with
the oil from which the sample is to be taken.
In order to make a complete assessment of the condition of the oil in
service, the following details should be furnished with the sample:
Installation, engine number, oil brand, engine operating hours, num-
ber of hours the oil has been in use, where in the system sample was
drawn, type of fuel, any special remarks. Oil samples with no informa-
tion except installation and engine number are close to valueless.
c) When estimating the condition of the used oil, the following proper-
ties should be observed. Compare with guidance values (type analysis)
for new oil of the brand used.
Viscosity. Should not decrease by more than 20 % and not rise by more
than 25% above the guidance value at 100 °C.
Should not decrease by more than 25 % and not rise by more than
50% above the guidance value at 40 °C.
Flash point. Should not fall by more than 50 °C below the guidance
value. Min. permissible flash point 190 °C (open cup) and 170 °C (closed
cup) . At 150 °C risk of crankcase explosion.
Water content. Should not exceed 0.3 %. A value higher than 0.3% can
not be accepted for longer periods, but measures must be taken; either
centrifuging or oil change.
BN (Base Number). The minimum allowable BN value of a used oil is
50 % of the nominal value of a new oil.
TAN (Total Acid Number). Should not increase by more than
2.5 mg KOH/g compared to nominal value of a new oil.
Insolubles. The quantity allowed depends on various factors. The oil
supplier’s recommendations should be followed. However, an n-Pentan
insoluble value above 0.5 w-% calls for attention. A value higher than
1.0 w-% cannot be accepted for longer periods.
TAN (Total Acid Number). Should not increase by more than 2.5 mg
KOH/g compared to the nominal value of a new oil.

See the Instruction Book for the governor, attached. An oil of viscosity
class SAE 30 or SAE 40 is suitable, and the same oil can be used as in
the engine. Turbocharger oil can also be used in the governor. In low
ambient conditions it may be necessary to use a multigrade oil (e.g.
SAE 5W-40) to get a good control during start-up. Oil change interval,
see maintenance schedule chapter 04.
Condensed water, high temperature or leaking drive shaft seal may
cause the oil to deteriorate, or internal surfaces of the governor to collect
deposits. If the reason cannot be clarified and rectified, a shorter oil
change interval or change of oil type should be considered.
The governor should be flushed with the oil in use or gasoil if heavy
contamination of the oil is evident.
Examples of suitable lubricating oils for governor can be found from
the end of this chapter, where the lists of approved lubricating oils for
an engine and turbocharger are available.
· If the system is equipped with a start booster, then this should
also be emptied when changing oil.
· In installations whereby the actuator is equipped with a filter, it
has to be cleaned when changing oil.
· Depending on the governor type, oil should be separately emptied
from the power cylinder. This is done by removing the plug in the
bottom of the power cylinder.
· Some governors are equipped with a magnetic oil plug, this plug
should be cleaned in connection with an oil change.
Caution! If turbine oil is used in the governor, take care not to mix it with
engine lubricating oil. Only a small quantity of engine lubricating oil
into the turbine oil may cause heavy foaming.
Please note that different types of turbochargers can be used for the
engine. The lubricating system is different for the different turbo-
charger. One type of chargers has a common lubricating oil system with
the engine, see chapter 15, while the other type of chargers has an
internal lubricating system for the bearings, see chapter 15. See the
Instruction Book for the turbocharger, attached.
Note! In the ABB VTR..4 series turbochargers the use of synthetic low friction
lubricating oils is strongly recommended by the engine and the
turbocharger manufacturers!
Oil change interval is 500 h service for normal mineral oils, 1 500 h
service for special mineral oils and 2 500 h service for synthetic
lubricating oils.

Caution! Take care that the turbine oil is not mixed with engine lubricating
oil. Only a small quantity may cause heavy foaming.
The list of approved lubricating oils for the ABB VTR..4 series turbo-
chargers can be found in the end of this chapter. These lubricating oils
are, regarding viscosity and quality, according to the recommenda-
tions.
02.3.1 General
Caution! Distilled water without additives absorbs carbon dioxide from the
air, which involves great risk of corrosion.
Sea water will cause severe corrosion and deposit formation even if
supplied to the system in small amounts.
Rain water has a high oxygen and carbon dioxide content; great risk
of corrosion; unsuitable as cooling water.
If risk of freezing occurs, please contact the engine manufacturer for
use of anti-freeze chemicals.
Fresh water generated by a reverse osmosis plant onboard often has
a high chloride content (higher than the permitted 80 mg/l) causing
corrosion.

Nitrite Concentration
X ppm
Nitrite based cooling water additives are so called anodic inhibitors and
require proper dosing and maintenance in order to serve as intended.
The nitrite of the additive is as such a salt and it will increase the
conductivity of the water. The conductivity is on the other hand one of
the main parameters affecting the corrosion rate once a corrosion process
gets started, the higher the conductivity the higher the corrosion rate.
32DF/W 50DF 02 - 11
Fuel, Lubricating Oil, Cooling Water 32-200305-02
If the conditions (nitrite level, chlorides, pH, etc.) in the systems are
such that the nitrite based additive is no longer able to protect the
entire surface of the system there may occur a rapid, local corrosion in
the areas that are not protected. The corrosion rate at the attacked
areas will even be much greater than it would be with no additive at
all present in the system, see schematic graph of the corrosion rate as
a function of the nitrite dosage in Fig 02-3. Observe that the position
of the curve peak on the x-axis (= dangerous condition for corrosion) is
not stable, but will shift depending on temperature, pH, chloride &
sulphate contents, etc. in the cooling water.

Viscosity
Viscosity class SAE 40
Alkalinity (BN)
Lubricating oils with BN of 4-7 mg KOH/g shall be used, if possible. However, in practise,
especially on marine installations it can be difficult to guarantee whether natural gas as a
main fuel is possible to use continuously. In such cases also lubricating oils with 10 – 20 mg
KOH/g designed for distillate fuel operation can be used.
Additives
The oils should contain additives that give good oxidation stability, corrosion protection, load
carrying capacity, neutralisation of acid combustion and oxidation residues and should
prevent deposit formation on internal engine parts.
Foaming characteristics
Fresh lubricating oil should meet the following limits for foaming tendency and stability,
according to the ASTM D 892-92 test method:
Sequence I: 100/0 ml
Sequence II: 100/0 ml
Sequence III: 100/0 ml

Base oils
Use of virgin base stocks is only allowed, i.e. recycled or re-refined base oils are not
allowed.
When estimating the condition of used lubricating oil, the following properties along with the
corresponding limit values must be noted. If the limits are exceeded, measures must be
taken. Compare also with guidance values for fresh lubricating of the brand used.
1.3 APPROVED LUBRICATING OIL QUALITIES FOR W 32DF, W 34DF AND W 50DF
ENGINES
In addition to continuous natural gas operation, the below mentioned lubricating oils can
also be used during short operating periods on periodical natural gas / LFO operation. See
the details in the chapter 2.4.
The table here below includes BN 10 – 20 lubricating oils, which have to be used on DF
engines, if continuous operation on natural gas can not be guaranteed and the running
hours on LFO are exceeding the allowed limits for the use of low ash gas engine oils
included in chapter 2.4, but on the other hand these products can be used as well, even if
the a.m. limits will not be exceeded.
Viscosity
Viscosity class SAE 40
Alkalinity (BN)
Liquid fuel always contains some sulphur and because of that higher BN in lubricating oil
compared to natural gas operation is required. The required lubricating oil alkalinity in
LFO operation is tied to the fuel specified for the engine, which is shown in the table
below.
If the installation is equipped with either a SCR or oxidation catalyst, lubricating oil with
lower BN decreases the risk of fouling and may result in longer maintenance intervals of the
catalyst.
Additives
The oils should contain additives that give good oxidation stability, corrosion protection, load
carrying capacity, neutralisation of acid combustion and oxidation residues and should
prevent deposit formation on internal engine parts (piston cooling gallery, piston ring zone
and bearing surfaces in particular).
Foaming characteristics
Fresh lubricating oil should meet the following limits for foaming tendency and stability,
according to the ASTM D 892-92 test method:
Sequence I: 100/0 ml
Sequence II: 100/0 ml

ENGINES
If in addition to natural gas also light fuel oil (LFO, MGO, MDO) is used either continuously
or periodically as fuel, lubricating oils with a BN of 10-20 have to be used. If only short
periods at a time on LFO are operated, low ash gas engine oils listed in the chapter 1.3 can
also be used. Allowed running periods are mentioned in the chapter 2.4.

2.4 ALLOWED RUNNING HOURS FOR ENGINES LUBRICATED WITH LOW ASH GAS
ENGINE OILS AND USING LFO PERIODICALLY AS A MAIN FUEL
It is allowed to operate the W 32DF, W 34DF and W 50DF engines in some extent on LFO
when still using low ash gas engine oils.
The allowed running periods are depending on total yearly accumulated running hours as
well as on the sulphur content of LFO quality. If longer periods, than specified below, are
operated on LFO, lubricating oil qualities according to the chapter 2.3 have to be used.
LFO qualities fulfilling ISO-F-DMX or DMA standard and having sulphur content of max. 0.2
% m/m:
Engines accumulating > 4000 hours yearly Engines accumulating < 4000 hours yearly
Max. running hours per week: 50 Max. running hours per week: 25
Max. running hours per month: 100 Max. running hours per month: 50
Max. running hours per year 400 Max. running hours per year: 200
LFO qualities fulfilling ISO-F-DMB standard and / or having sulphur content of max. 0.2 - 0.5
% m/m:
Engines accumulating > 4000 hours yearly Engines accumulating < 4000 hours yearly
Max. running hours per week: 25 Max. running hours per week: 15
Max. running hours per month: 50 Max. running hours per month: 25
Max. running hours per year 200 Max. running hours per year: 100
In the W 32DF engine HFO as a main fuel can be used, if the engine is modified according
to the document 4V92A1109.
In the W 50DF engine it depends on the engine design, whether the engine in question
needs modifications in order to be able to run on HFO or if the use of HFO is allowed
without modifications. The modifications are described in the document 4V92A1168.
When operating the W 50DF engines periodically on two or three fuel qualities including
heavy fuel, only one lubricating oil quality is needed and that has to be chosen based on
heavy fuel operation requirements. Approved products are listed hereafter in the table
included in chapter 3.3.
Viscosity
Viscosity class SAE 40

Alkalinity (BN)
The required lubricating oil alkalinity on HFO operation is tied to the fuel specified for the
engine, which is shown in the table hereafter.
For installations running periodically with two fuel qualities, i.e. natural gas and heavy fuel or
three qualities including additionally distillate fuel, lubricating oil quality must be chosen
based on heavy fuel operating requirements, i.e. BN 30 – 40 must be used. It’s the
responsibility of the operator to follow the used lubricating oil condition, especially alkali
reserve (BN) and to ensure that a chosen lubricating oil brand suits from BN point of view to
the operating conditions resulting from the fuel qualities being used. This is very important,
since there are several factors, like operating periods on each fuel quality, sulphur content
of each fuel quality and lubricating oil consumption all influencing on BN depletion rate.

Additives
The oils should contain additives that give good oxidation stability, corrosion protection, load
carrying capacity, neutralisation of acid combustion and oxidation residues and should
prevent deposit formation on internal engine parts (piston cooling gallery, piston ring zone
and bearing surfaces in particular).
Foaming characteristics
Fresh lubricating oil should meet the following limits for foaming tendency and stability,
according to the ASTM D 892-92 test method:
Sequence I: 100/0 ml
Sequence II: 100/0 ml
Sequence III: 100/0 ml
Base oils
Use of virgin base stocks is only allowed, i.e. recycled or re-refined base oils are not
allowed.
When estimating the condition of used lubricating oil, the following properties along with the
corresponding limit values must be noted. If the limits are exceeded, measures must be
taken. Compare also with guidance values for fresh lubricating of the brand used.

3.3 APPROVED LUBRICATING OIL QUALITIES FOR W 32DF, W 34DF AND W 50DF
ENGINES
In case of heavy fuel oil (HFO) as a main fuel is used periodically in addition to natural gas
(NG) and light fuel oil (LFO), BN 30 and 40 lubricating oils listed in the table hereafter have
to be used. BN 50 and 55 lubricating oils listed here are recommended only to the engines
running continuously on HFO.
*) NG = Natural gas
The intervals between lubricating oil changes may be extended by adding oil daily to keep
the oil level constantly close to the maximum level.
If the main fuel type is changed from natural gas to light fuel oil or heavy fuel oil, or vice
versa, change the lubricating oil to a suitable product as shown in the chapters 1.3, 2.3 and
3.3 of this document.
In order to minimize the risk of lubricating oil foaming, deposit formation, blocking of
lubricating oil filters, damage of engine components, etc., the following procedure should be
followed when lubricating oil brand is changed from one to another:
• If possible, change the lubricating oil brand in connection with an engine (piston)
overhaul
• Drain old lubricating oil from the lubricating oil system
• Clean the lubricating oil system in case of an excessive amount of deposits on the
surfaces of engine components, like crankcase, camshaft compartment, etc.
• Fill the lubricating oil system with fresh lubricating oil
If the procedure described above is not followed, responsibility of possible damage and
malfunctions caused by lubricating oil change should always be agreed between the oil
company and customer.
Before using a lubricating oil not listed in the tables above, the engine manufacturer must be
contacted. Lubricating oils that are not approved have to be tested according to engine
manufacturer’s procedure.
Should unapproved lubricating oils be used during the engine warranty period, and there
exist no agreement with the engine manufacturer about testing, the engine guarantee does
not hold.

An oil of viscosity class SAE 30 or SAE 40 is suitable and usually the same oil can be used
as in the engine. Turbocharger oil can also be used in the governor. In low ambient
conditions it may be necessary to use a multigrade oil (e.g. SAE 5W-40) to get a good
control during start-up. Oil change interval: 2000 service hours.
It is recommended to use lithium soap based EP-greases having a penetration of 300 - 350
when measured according to the ASTM D 217 standard and being classed as NLGI Grade 1
at 30 - 70 °C operating temperature.
Raw water quality to be used in the closed cooling water circuits of engines has to meet the following
specification.
Property Limit
pH min. 6.5
Hardness max. 10 °dH
Chlorides max. 80 mg/l
Sulphates max. 150 mg/l
For raw water evaporated water and a good quality tap water are normally recommended. If a reverse
osmosis process results in water quality specified above, that can be used as well. Untreated sea water
and fresh water as well as rain water are unsuitable raw water qualities.
In order to prevent corrosion in the cooling water system, the instructions of right dosage and
concentration of active corrosion inhibitors should always be followed. The information can be found
in the table below.
Page Document No Rev
3 (4) 4V92A0765 d
Note 1: For many products the recommended minimum and maximum limits are listed in the table
above. Since the amount of active corrosion inhibitors, especially nitrites, is decreasing
during the service of engines, the engine manufacturer recommends to start the dosage from
the upper level of indicated range.
Note 2: The nitrite content of nitrite-based cooling water additives tends to decrease in use. The risk
of local corrosion increases substantially when nitrite content goes below the recommended
limit.
Note 3: Cooling water additive manufacturers can indicate the required nitrite content measured
either as sodium nitrite, NaNO2 or as nitrite, NO2. 1 mg/l as NO2 equals to 1.5 mg/l as
NaNO2.

USE OF GLYCOL
If a freezing risk exists, glycol needs to be added to cooling water. Since glycol alone does not protect
the engine and cooling water system against corrosion, additionally an approved cooling water
additive must always be used. All approved cooling water additives are compatible with glycol. The
amount of glycol in closed cooling water system shall always be minimized since heat transfer of
water containing glycol has deteriorated significantly. Engine type specific requirements have to be
always taken into account and in some cases derating of engine output is needed if a high amount of
glycol is added to closed cooling water system. There are commercially available two types glycol
qualities, monopropylene glycol (MPG) and monoethyleneglycol (MEG). So called industrial
qualities of both glycol types can be used, but MPG is considered to be a more environmental
alternative.

shaft in the in-position), when the extra grease comes out from the
locking pin bore in the other end of the shaft. Excessive greasing is to
be avoided.
Oil change
Change the gear box lubricating oil once during the first year of
operation. Approved lubricating oils, can be found in the end of chapter
02. After that, oil should be changed according to chapter 04..
Check also that the vent hole (3) is open.
1 Drain old oil, preferably when warm, through the drain hole (4).
2 Rinse the gear box with clean, thin fluid oil.
3 Fill the gear box with oil (according to the table in section 02.2.7)
through the filling hole (5) until the oil level reaches the lewel screw.
Utmost cleanliness must be observed.

Start, stop and operation 50-200509-07
The piston rings have slid into new positions and need time to bed-in.
If the program cannot be followed, do not load the engine fully for
4 h, at least.
2 After changing piston rings, pistons or cylinder liners and after
honing of cylinder liners follow program B in Fig 03-5 as closely as
possible.
If the program cannot be followed, do not load the engine fully for
10 h, at least.
The important thing is to vary the load several times. The ring groove
will have a different tilting angle at each load stage, and consequently
the piston ring a different contact line to the cylinder liner.
The running-in may be performed either on distillate or heavy fuel,
using the normal lubricating oil specified for the engine.
For use of running-in filters see chapter 18

50-200735-13 Maintenance Schedule
04.1 General
The actual operating conditions, and above all the quality of the fuel
used, will largely determine the maintenance necessary for the engine.
Because of the difficulty in anticipating the various operating condi-
tions that may be encountered in the field, the periods stated in the
schedule should be used for guidance purposes only, but must not be
exceeded during the warranty period. Where any indications are
encountered that the performance of a maintenance procedure is
required in advance of the recommended time period, prudent industry
practice dictates that the suggested maintenance procedure be per-
formed. Additionally, where inspection or observation reveals that a
part shows wear or use beyond the prescribed tolerances, that part
should be renewed immediately.
See also the instruction books of the turbocharger separate instructions
for additional equipment and chapter 03..
1 Before any steps are taken, carefully read the corresponding
item in this Manual.
2 Note the Risk Reduction in chapter 00A.
3 Note the Environmental Hazards in chapter 02A.
4 At all maintenance work, observe the utmost cleanliness and
order.
5 Before dismantling, check that all systems concerned are
drained or the pressure released. After dismantling, immediately
cover holes for lubricating oil, gas and air with tape, plugs, clean cloth
or the like.
6 When exchanging a worn-out or damaged part provided
with an identification mark stating cylinder or bearing number, mark
the new part with the same number on the same spot. Every exchange
should be entered in the engine log and the reason should be clearly
stated.
7 Always renew all gaskets, sealing rings and O-rings at
maintenance work. Note! The O-rings in the cooling water system
must not be lubricated with oil based lubricants, use soap or similar.
8 After reassembling, check that all screws and nuts are tight-
ened and locked, if necessary.
04 - 1
Maintenance Schedule 50-200735-13
Caution! When overhauling the engine, make absolutely sure that the auto-
matic start and the priming pump are disconnected. Make also sure
that the starting air shut-off valve located before main starting valve
is closed. Then drain the engine starting air system to avoid engine
damage and/or personal injury.
Caution! When overhauling the engine, make absolutely sure that the gen-
erator breaker is secured/gear box is not engaged to avoid acci-
dental turning of engine.

The hydraulic tool set consists of a high pressure hand pump with
integrated oil container, hoses fitted with quick-connections and non-
return valves, cylinders and a pressure gauge mounted on the hand
pump and another mounted after the last hydraulic jack. See Fig 07-19.
The components are connected in series, the pressure gauge being the
last component thus ensuring that every cylinder is fed with the correct
pressure.
The non-return valves in the hoses are integrated with the quick-con-
nections and are opened by the pins located in the centre of the male
and female parts. If these pins get worn the connection must be
replaced due to the risk of blocking.
• In the high pressure hydraulic tool set it is recommended to use
a special hydraulic oil or at least an oil with a viscosity of about
2°E at 20°C.
• During the filling of the high pressure pump container, it is
recommended to connect the set according to scheme B Fig 07-19.
Before filling, open the release valve (2) and empty the cylinders
(4) by pressing piston and cylinder together. After that, the con-
tainer can be filled through the filling plug (1).
• After filling, vent the system by pressing in, with a finger, the
centre pin of the female part of the last quick-connection; the
connection being disconnected from the pressure gauge. Keep on
pumping until airfree oil emerges from the connection.
• Check the pressure gauge of the hydraulic tool set regularly. For
this purpose a comparison pressure gauge is supplied. This pres-
sure gauge can be connected to the plug hole (7) and the outlet
hose of the pump is connected direct to the pressure gauges.

08 Operating Troubles 50-200513-06
If the water tubes of an air cooler are defective, the cooling water may
enter the cylinders. If water or water mist flows out of the drain pipe
at the bottom of the cooler housing, check whether it is raw water or
condensate. If condensate, reduce cooling (see chapter 03, Fig 03-2). If
raw water, stop the engine as soon as possible and fit a spare cooler.
In case of no available spare cooler, the following procedure can be
carried out as an emergency solution:
a) Dismantle the cooler for repair and blank off the opening in the
charge air cooler housing. Shut off the water supply and the return
pipes. Repair the cooler, e.g. by plugging the leaking tubes.
b) If there is not time enough to remove the defective cooler to re-
pair it, then only shut off the water supply and the return pipes.
c) Operating with a partially plugged, shut-down or removed air
cooler.
The engine output must be limited and normal full load exhaust
temperatures must not be exceeded. The turbocharger may surge
before the admissible exhaust temperatures are reached. In such a
case, engine load must be reduced further to avoid continuous surging.
08 - 6 W50DF
50-200513-06 Operating Troubles 08
When operating with a shut-off injection pump over a long period, the
valve push rods of the inlet and outlet valves are to be removed, and
the indicator valve on the respective cylinder is to be opened once an
hour to allow any accumulated oil to escape.With one cylinder out of
operation, reduce load to prevent exhaust temperature of the remain-
ing cylinders from exceeding normal full load temperatures.
b) Valve cams
Shut off the fuel injection to the cylinder concerned, see chapter 16.
Remove the valve push rods and cam followers of the cylinder. Replace
the tubes covering the push rods.
Run the engine with reduced load to prevent the exhaust tempera-
tures from exceeding their respective normal full load temperatures.
W50DF 08 - 7
08 Operating Troubles 50-200513-06
Run the engine with reduced load to prevent the exhaust temperatures
from exceeding their respective normal full load temperatures. If the
turbocharger(s) surges, reduce load further to avoid continuous surg-
ing.
Operation with removed piston and connecting rod, from one or more
cylinders, should be performed only in absolute emergency conditions
when there are no other means of proceeding under own power.
When running the engine with one cylinder, or more, out of operation,
the balance of the engine is disturbed and severe, or even dangerous,
vibrations may occur. The vibration conditions are, in practice, depen-
dant on the type of the installation.As a general advice, when there are
cylinders out of order:
1 Reduce load as much as possible.
2 Keep the speed in a favourable range (completely depend-
ing on the type of installation).

Bearings
1 Clean the bearing shells and inspect for wear, scoring and
other damage. If the main bearing shells are of TRI-METAL type,
they can be used until the overlay is partially worn off. When the
underlaying nickel-barrier or the lining material is exposed in any
area, the bearing must be renewed.
Caution! Never re-install a tri-metal bearing with the nickel barrier exposed
in any part of the bearing shell.
Journals
2 Inspect the surface finish of the main bearing journals.
Damaged journals (i.e. rough surface, scratches, marks of shocks
etc.) must be polished. If, after a longer running period, considerably
uneven wear appears (table 10. section 06.2) the crankshaft may be
reground and used together with thicker bearing shells.

When the camshaft bearing journal has been removed, the inner
diameter of the bearing bushing can be measured at site, by using a
ball anvil micrometer screw. The wear limit is stated in chapter 06. If
the wear limit for one camshaft bearing bushing is reached, all cam-
shaft bearing bushes should be replaced. For visual inspection of the
camshaft bearing bushing, proceed as follows:

· The pitch angle of the honing lines in the cross hatch pattern
should be about 30° which is achieved by combining e.g. 40
strokes/min with a rotational speed of 100 rpm.
· For cooling, a honing oil is preferred but a light fuel oil may also
be used.
· When honing the liner fitted to the engine the used honing oil
must be directed from the engine with e.g. a tarpaulin or similar.
· The honing time depends on the condition of the bore surface.
Usually only a few minutes’ honing is required.
After honing, the liner bore must be carefully cleaned by using a
suitable brush and solvent or fuel oil. Dry with a cloth and lubricate
with engine oil for corrosion protection.
· Check the cylinder liner inner diameter, see section 10.5.3
The water side of the cylinder liner can be cleaned of deposits with a
wire brush. The cooling bores in the collar can be cleaned by boring
with a suitable drill (diam. 18 and 25 mm).

Inner part (1) of the damper is bolted onto the free end of the crankshaft
and follows its torsional vibrations. The outer part consists of spring
packs (2), spacers (3), a clamping ring (4) and side plates (5). Springs
are clamped at their outer end by the spacers and their inner ends mesh
with grooves of the inner part. The cavities between spring packs and
spacers are filled with oil which comes through the crankshaft drillings.
Due to torsional vibrations, the inner member will twist against the
outer part. The springs deflects and one cavity will reduce and another
will enlarge. Oil flow then through the narrow gap between inner and
outer part, generating the hydrodynamic friction and therefore damp-
ing the vibrations.

The piston is of a composite type with a nodular cast iron skirt and a
forged steel crown screwed together. The space between the crown and
the skirt is supplied with lubricating oil for cooling the crown by means
of a cocktail shaker effect.
Lubricating oil is led from the main bearing through the drillings in
the crankshaft to the big end bearing, and further through the drillings

1 Clean all the parts carefully. Remove the rest of the piston
rings by using the pliers 800002. The design of the pliers prevents
overstressing of the rings.
Remove burned carbon deposits from the piston and piston ring
grooves. Special care should be taken not to damage the piston mate-
rial. Never use emery cloth on the piston skirt.
The cleaning is facilitated if coked parts are soaked in kerosene or
fuel oil. An efficient carbon solvent - e.g. ARDROX No. 668 or similar-
should preferably be used to facilitate cleaning of the piston crown.
When using chemical cleaning agents, take care not to clean piston
skirt with such agents because the phosphate/graphite overlay may be
damaged.
2 Check the rings for wear by inserting them in a new cylinder
liner and measure the ring gap at the joint. Measure the height of
the piston ring grooves, and the piston ring side clearances. Use new
rings when measuring the clearances.
Caution! Always replace the piston rings with new ones when removing from
the grooves.
See clearances and wear limits in chapter 06. When measuring use
forms 4611V002, 4611V009 and 5011V001, see “Attatchments”.
Caution! When mounting a new cylinder liner, or a honing the old liner, all
rings are to be replaced by new ones, according to chapter 04.

5 Lower the connecting rod carefully into the piston so that a
slight contact is reached on surface (A), see Fig 11-19. Slide the
gudgeon pin to its place. Mount the securing ring (9), see Fig 11-15
with pliers 800001.
Caution! Never compress the securing ring more than necessary to fit into
the groove. If the ring is loose in its groove after mounting, it must
be renewed.
Note! The number of the cylinder is stamped in the upper part of the piston
and on the connecting rod, see Fig 11-18. When the piston has been
renewed, the same markings must be stamped in the same loca-
tions as those visible on the replaced piston.

8 Clean the cylinder liner bore carefully and lubricate with en-
gine oil.
9 Check and clean the contact surface of the connecting rod
foot. Ensure that the oil bores are open. Note that the markings on
the foot of the connecting rod are on the same side as on the big end,
see Fig 11-18.
10 Check and clean the big end contact surface. Ensure that
the surface is free from oil. Fit the compression shim (5) into
position, see Fig 11-20 for L-engine and Fig 11-21 for V-engine.
11 Fit the piston assembly ring (845010) to the place of the an-
tipolishing ring.
12 Fit the lifting tools onto the cylinder liner, as shown in Fig 11-
11 and pump to the upmost position. (Up enough so that all piston ring
grooves of the piston will remain in sight when the piston has been
lowered). Close the valve (15).
Step 13 only for V-engines!
13 Mount the protecting sleeve (835005) into position (V-engines).
Use guide tool (836008) and lever (837040) when lowering the piston
and remove the guide tool when the connecting rod lower end has
slid into the cylinder, see Fig 11-21.
14 Lubricate the piston and lower it carefully into the cylinder
liner onto the lifting tools (835008), see Fig 11-11.
15 Use the positioning tool (846012) to hold the big end in the
correct position when lowering the piston.
16 Remove the lifting tool (835001).
17 Mount the piston rings by using the pliers 800002. When new
rings are mounted, check the height clearance by using a feeler
gauge with the rings fitted into their grooves. The rings should be
placed with gaps located 180° in relation to each other. Note that
the mark “TOP” near the gap is showing up.
Note! Always renew the piston rings if they have been removed from the
piston during maintenance.

12.1 General
Every cylinder is equipped with a cylinder head including two inlet and
two exhaust valves with rotators, a main injection valve, a starting valve
(in some cases on B-bank of V-engines a dummy) and a gas admission
valve.
Cylinder heads are cast of special quality grey iron and are water
cooled. Cooling water is lead into the cylinder head from the engine
block through the cylinder liner water bores. Water leaves the cylinder
head through an outlet channel on the top and flows to a common pipe
and is drained away.

4 Supply pressurized air (5-7 bar) via the testing device. Open
the valve and record the pressure.
5 Shut the valve of the testing device and record the pressure
drop in a certain time (e.g. 20 s).
· If the pressure drops directly to 0 bar, it is possible that one or
more valves are sticking or the valve(s) are burnt.
A sticking valve can be found from the immobility of the valve
when the engine is turned.
A burnt valve can normally be seen from the exhaust tempera-
ture. If the valve clearance is zero that would also cause an direct
pressure drop.
· Carbon particles trapped between the valve and the seat when
the engine is stopped could also prevent the valve to close properly
thus causing a direct pressure drop. If that is suspected, the
engine should be run for a few minutes and after that a new check
of the same cylinder.
· If a blow-by between the cylinder liner and piston is suspected e.g.
from fast fouling of filters or high crankcase pressure, it is best to
take readings of the complete engine and make a comparison.

Attention! A general condition of engine is indicated with the test device, but
more important is the operation data records.
The overhauls must be made according to recommended over-
haul intervals and not only when the pressure test shows a big
blow-by.
There is no use giving absolute guiding values for the pressure drop,
but you can evaluate the condition of the valves by comparing the
pressure drop in different cylinders.

Note! If blow-by has occurred, the O-ring for the corresponding valve seat
ring must be changed. Blow-by increases the temperature and the
O-ring is “burned”, which will result in water leakage into the cylinder.
4 Check with a blueing test that the contact area is wide enough
and that it is at the inner edge of the seat, see Fig 12-23. Ensure,
that the valve used in the blueing test is the one that will be
assembled to the seat concerned.
Spread a thin layer of blue paint on the whole seat face of the valve.
Fit the valve into its place in the valve guide and press the valve
gently against the valve seat using the tool (841010). Repeat 2-3
times turning the valve about 45° between the strokes.
Note! Ensure, that the sealing faces are absolutely clean and the blue
paint layer is as thin as possible.

The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft through gearing. For V-en-
gines the gears are alike for both camshafts, see Fig 13-1. The gearing
consists of a split gear (36) on the crankshaft, two hydraulically
fastened intermediate gears (1 and 2) and a camshaft driving gear (7).
Lube oil nozzles provide for lubrication and cooling of the gears. The
camshafts rotates with half of the engine speed in the same direction
as the engine.

The inner part (1) of the damper is bolted on the free end of the camshaft
and follows its torsional vibrations, see Fig 14-14. The outer part
consists of spring packs (2), spacers (3), a clamping ring (4) and side
plates (5). The springs are clamped at their outer end by the spacers
and their inner ends mesh with grooves of the inner part. The cavities
between spring packs and spacers are filled with oil which comes
through the camshaft drillings.
Due to torsional vibrations the inner member will twist against the
outer part, the springs will deflected, one cavity will reduce and one
will enlarge and the oil will flow through the narrow gap between inner
and outer part, generating the hydro dynamic friction and therefore
damping the vibrations.

and pressure tested.
Before starting the cleaning of the charge air cooler, the water must be
drained from the charge air cooler and pipes. If there is a drain tank,
the engines and coolers can be drained for maintenance so that the
water and cooling water treatment can be collected and reused.
Most of the cooling water in the engine can be recovered from the HT-circuit,

Mechanical cleaning:
Mechanical cleaning is done by use of nylon brushes fitted to a rod. The
length of the rod corresponds to the tube length of the cooler in question
and the type of brush is chosen in accordance to the finned tube type.
Mechanical cleaning can be done on site or with the cooler removed.
Check the gaskets and and replace if necessary.
Hydraulic cleaning:
Hydraulic cleaning is carried out with the cooler removed using a high
pressure spray gun to remove dirt deposits inside the tubes. It is
recommended that the size of the spray gun nozzle is 3 mm.
Chemical cleaning:
Chemical cleaning is recommended, when the cooler is removed. The
tube bundle is immersed into a chemical cleaning bath. Time of
immersion is a function of the degree of fouling. When the cleaning is
complete, the cooler is to be flushed by applying a powerful water jet.
If the result is still not satisfying, cleaning should be repeated.

50-200509 Turbocharging and Air Cooling Appendix M
15.M.1 Description
A reliable and safe perfomance of the engine requires a correct air-fuel
ratio during all kind of site conditions. If the air-gas mixture becomes
too lean, misfire will occur and if the air-gas mixture becomes too rich,
knocking will occur.
To mantain a correct air-fuel ratio, the engine is equipped with an
exhaust gas wastegate valve that keeps the air pressure in the reciever
at an optimal level all over the power output range. The exhaust gas
wastegate valve is by-passing the exhaust gases past the turbocharger.
The wastegate valve is working as a regulator and adjusts the air-fuel
ratio to the correct value regardless of varying site conditions (ambient
temperature, humidity, etc).
The exhaust gas wastegate system is built on the engine and consists
of an actuator (1) connected to the butterfly valve (2) which controls the
exhaust by-pass flow via pipes (4) and (5) to the distance piece (3) as
much as required to get the correct air-fuel ratio according to the
preprogrammed values.

46/50DF 15M - 1
Appendix M Turbocharging and Air Cooling 50-200509
15.M.2 Function
The wastegate control system gets compressed air from the instrument
air system. The pressure is approx. 6 - 7 bar. The instrument air needs to
be clean, dry and oil free to secure troublefree function of the components.
See also chapter 21.
The wastegate system works as follows:
When the engine is running, instrument air is supplied to the I/P converter
(8) and to the positioner (9) in the actuator unit (1), see Fig 15M-2.
The I/P converter maintains a 0.2 - 1.0 bar control air pressure to the
positioner according to the incoming 4 - 20mA control signal from the
controll system. The 4 - 20mA current is based on the load dependent
charge air pressure, measured with the analogue pressure sensor
PT601.
The positioner pilot valve (11), see Fig 15M-3, maintains the actuator (1)
with air pressure according to the control air pressure from the I/P converter.
The engine control system (WECS) is monitoring the air pressure in
the receiver. If the pressure is lower than the set-point, the engine
control system will close the wastegate gradually, until the correct
value is reached.
The control logic is carried out in the engine control system and no
external regulators are required

50-200538-13 Injection System 16
16.1 General
The Wärtsilä® 50DF is a pilot fuel ignited lean-burn gas engine with
instant switch-over capability to back-up fuel. There are two operating
modes, gas mode and diesel mode. In gas mode low pressure gas is
mixed with the combustion air in the air inlet channel in the cylinder
head, the mixture is compressed in the cylinder during compression
stroke and ignition is initiated with a small amount of pilot fuel injected
into the combustion chamber. In diesel mode the diesel fuel is injected
into the cylinder at the end of the compression stroke by means of the
injection pump. In diesel mode there is no gas mixed with the air, but
pilot fuel is injected as well as main diesel fuel to prevent pilot nozzle
orifices to clog.
Only LFO is allowed as pilot fuel as well as back-up fuel. If HFO is
to be used, the injection valves must be replaced with one-needle type
injection valves made for this purpose, and the pilot fuel pump must
be taken off and disconnected from the fuel lines.
16.2 Description
This chapter deals with the high pressure side of the fuel system
including injection pump, high pressure pipe, injection valve as well as
the pilot fuel system.
The injection pumps are one-cylinder pumps with built-in roller
tappets. The element is of mono type. The drain fuel is led to a pipe
system with atmospheric pressure outside the pump, or back to the low
pressure circuit of the injection pump. Each injection pump is equipped
with an emergency stop cylinder, which is coupled to an electro-pneu-
matic overspeed protecting system.
The injection line from the injection pump consists of an injection pipe
and a connection piece attached sideways into the nozzle holder at a
conical inlet port.
The pilot fuel system is a common rail system fed by a pump directly
driven by the pump gear at the driving end of the crankshaft. A
connection piece is mounted to each cylinder head connecting the one
per cylinder rail pipes. From the connection piece the fuel is fed through

16.6.1 Description
The injection valve is a combined pilot and main fuel oil injection valve
centrally located in the cylinder head. The valve consists of a two-part
nozzle holder and the nozzle. A solenoid valve for pilot injection control
is located in the upper part of the nozzle holder. The fuel enters the
nozzle holder sideways through two connection pipes with spherical
ends pressed against the conical ports in the holder.
The pilot fuel pressure acts on both the pilot needle pressure step (opening
force) and through an orifice on the pilot piston (closing force). The solenoid
valve opens a drain port from the pilot cylinder and thus eliminates the
pressure acting on the piston, and the fuel pressure acting on the needle
forces the needle upwards. The drained fuel is led through borings to the
clean fuel leakage system of the engine. A spring acting on the push rod
keeps the pilot needle closed in event of loss of pilot fuel pressure.
There are very small clearances in the nozzle and in the solenoid
valve, and therefore cleanliness and prevention of particles and dirt
from entering the valve nor pipes are of utmost importance.

The injection valve is a precision made valve with small borings and
moving parts with small clearances. Therefore cleanliness is of utmost
importance.
Adjust the main fuel needle opening pressure and check the valve
function in the test bench.
1 Insert the valve in the test bench and connect the high pres-
sure supply to the main diesel inlet port. Apply fuel pressure and
adjust the opening pressure to stated value, see chapter 06 . Note
the fuel spray uniformity.
2 Check the needle seat tightness:
· Decrease the supply pressure to a value 20 bar below the opening
pressure
· Keep the pressure constant for 10 s and check that no fuel drops
appear at the nozzle tip. A slight dampness may be acceptable.
3 If the tests according to step 1...2 give satisfactory results
the injection valve can be re-installed in the engine. Otherwise,
replace the injection valve by a new one.
4 If leakage occurs on the high pressure sealing surfaces the
damaged detail should be replaced by a new one.
5 If the injection valve is to be stored it should be treated with
corrosion protecting oil.

Ventilation
On the engine the gas is supplied via a common pipe running along the
engine, continuing with individual feed pipes to each cylinder.
The gas admission is controlled with “Main Gas Admission Valves”
for the main charge. Valve is direct actuated solenoid valve and
controlled by the control system (WECS).
Main gas pressure at the engine can be checked from the local display
unit. Alarms are set for low pressure difference between charge air
pressure and the gas pressures.

Warning! Before doing any maintenance work, check that gas supply valves
are closed, vent valves are in open position and gas pressure is
drained out from the gas lines.
Caution! Before beginning maintenance work, the fuel gas piping system has
to be de-pressurized and purged with inert gas.
The DF engine and the gas valve unit are equipped with purging
connecrions for inert gas (nitrogen).
Note! Always renew the O-rings and the spiral gaskets if a pipe has been
removed.

Note! Only individuals trained in the use of leak detection methods should
perform this leak test procedure.
Following the calibration and operation procedures for your gas detec-
tor, place the probe of the detector near possible leakpoints such as
connections,pipe flanges, valves, manifolds, pressure gauges of the gas
fuel system for at least two times the response time of the gas detector.
If a leak is detected, immediately shut off the supply of gas at its
source and perform maintenance to stop the leak. Do not use a flam-
mable gas until the system has been pressure leak tested with an inert
gas.
1 Connect compressed air pressure of 3 bar, to the inlet flange
of the gas system.
2 Check all connections with soap water or leakage spray, be-
ginning from the inlet flange and continue through the gas line. The
last connection on the main gas line is connections between flexible
hoses and the main gas admission valves.
3 Growing bubbles on the connection indicates leakage.

17.4.1 Description
The main gas admission valve is controlling the amount of gas fed to
each cylinder of the engine. On a V-engine the valve is located on the
cylinder head and on a line engine the valve is between the gas manifold
and cylinder air inlet pipe. The gas is fed into the inlet channel of the
cylinder head. The main gas valve is a direct actuated solenoid valve.
The design of the gas feed pipes varies between the V- and in-line
engines.
With the control system (WECS) it is possible to adjust the amount
of gas fed to individual cylinders, even when the engine is running. For
further information about engine control, see chapter 23.

Because of the low resistance, make sure to compensate for the meter
lead resistance. If outside this tolerance, the coil assembly should be
replaced.
Additional indication of a coil problem can be observed by comparing
the coil resistance of a suspect coil to one that is known to be good. This
is particularly helpful if the meter’s accuracy at low resistance is
questionable.
2 Check for a ground fault. Measure the resistance from either
pin to the solenoid assembly housing. If a low resistance is meas-
ured, a ground fault exists and the solenoid valve should be re-
placed. If a high resistance is measured at first and the reading
gradually increases until the meter reading is infinite, the meter
has been charging the coils natural capacitance.
Note! Be careful with the O-rings when mounting the gas feed pipe.

17.7.2 Venting
Start the fuel feed pump if the static pressure from the day tank is not
sufficient.
Always vent the filter after changing cartridges in the filter.
If the engine has been stopped and the feed pump is not running, the
three-way valve can be changed directly over to the position where both
sides are in operation. The air can be vented through the respective air
vent screw. If the engine is running, the change-over of the three-way valve
should be carried out very carefully to give only a small flow of fuel to the
filter side to be vented. Activate the segment cock valve (18) slowly. If the
nose (30) of the valve points to the nearest screw of the plate (25), the
segment cock valve opens a small gap wich is enough to fill the filter
chamber (see Fig 17-7). The filter side will be slowly filled. Vent the filter
W50DF 17 - 13
17 Fuel System 50-200635-08
side. Set the three-way valve and slow-filling valve in normal position
(both filter sides in use).
A sudden change-over of the three-way valve to an empty filter side
will cause a temporary pressure drop in the engine system, and the
alarm switch will give a signal for too low a fuel pressure. This may
also involve the risk of air escaping from the filter to the injection
pumps, which may also cause the engine to stop.
Caution! To avoid air escaping to the injection pump, fill up the filter with
clean fuel before changing over.

4 The fuel circulating pumps (11) keep the fuel in constant cir-
culation and maintain a system pressure between the circulating

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.
Caution! These adjustments should be carried out rapidly as the pumps may
run hot if the system is closed for a lengthy time.
Depending on engine type, the position and type of the filter may vary.

50-200439 Pilot fuel filter Appendix E
17.E1.1 Description
The filter is a duplex filter. By means of the three-way valve (5)
the fuel flow can be guided to one side or the other, or to both sides
in parallel. The direction of the flow appears from the mark on
the filter housing, see Fig 17E-2. At normal operation, one or both
sides of the filter can be used. When changing cartridges during
operation one side can be closed. Fig 17E-2B shows the position
of the valve when the right side of the filter is closed.
The fuel flows through a strainer core (11) and a cartridge (3)
made of special paper material for filtering off small particles, see
Fig 17E-3.

10 Fasten the bowl (2) back into place by turning the fas-
tening ring (13). Tighten the fastening ring firmly. Mount the
drain plug (4).
11 Change slowly over to working position to avoid quick
pressure drop, see section 17.E1.3.
12 Close the air vent screw (1) after the air has exited. See
section 17.E1.3. Check the tightness of the filter housing when
pressurized.
13 Repeat the same procedure with the other side of the
filter.
14 Fasten the cover (22) back into place.
17.E1.3 Venting
The air can be vented through the respective air vent screw (1). If
the engine is running, the change-over of the three-way valve
should be carried out very carefully to give only a small flow of fuel
to the filter side to be vented. Vent the filter side. Set the three-way
valve in normal operation position, see Fig 17E-2.
A sudden change-over of the three-way valve to an empty filter
side will cause a temporary pressure drop in the engine system,
and the alarm switch will give a signal for too low fuel pressure.
This may also cause the risk of air escaping from the filter to the
pilot fuel pump, which may also cause the engine to stop.
Caution! To avoid air escaping to the pilot fuel pump, fill up the filter with
clean fuel before changing over.
Note! When the injection valve has been changed, the engine might
need several start attempts due to air in the pilot fuel system.

46-200521-06 Lubricating oil system
18.1 Description
The marine engines lubrication systems are of dry oil sump type and
power plant engines are of wet oil sump type. The oil is filtrated/sepa-
rated outside the engine.
Besides lubrication of pistons, bearings, etc. the lube oil also conducts
heat transfer and is cleaning the engine inside. Various auxiliary
devices i.e. filters and coolers, keeps the oil conditioned.
The system components outside the engine are not handled in this
manual. For a more detailed information, see installation specific
documentation.
A general overview of the engine lube oil system is shown in Fig 18-1.
System components:
01 Oil sump
02 Centrifugal filter (optional)
03 Sampling cock
04 Running-in filter
05 Turbine (turbo charger connected to engine lube oil system)

From the distributing pipe (1) in the bottom of the oil sump, the oil is
forwarded as shown in Fig 18-2.
Lubricating oil is led through the gudgeon pin and piston up to the
piston crown cooling space and thereafter returned to the oil sump.
Part of the lube oil is furthermore merged to the skirt lubrication before
returned to oil sump, see Fig 18-3.
When returned to oil sump the oil flows freely back to the oil tank.

The oil pressure affects through the choke (3) also in the spring
chamber (5) to the back side of the main regulating piston (4) thus
demanding less spring power to keep the valve closed, see Fig 18-11.
The feed pressure is also merged to the pilot control piston (2). When
the control pressure reaches the preadjusted value, the pilot control
piston opens and releases the pressure in spring chamber (5).
The pressure drop in chamber (5) makes the feed oil pressure open
the main regulating piston by the same reducing the feed pressure.
The set point is adjusted by the engine manufacturer but can be
readjusted if necessary by turning the adjusting screw (10); clockwise
to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the pressure. See chapter
01. for correct set values.

2 Clean the valve carefully.
3 Check that the components moves freely and do not stick.
Check that the drain hole (19) is clear if using valve type (A), see
Fig 18-10.
Note! When using valve type (A), Fig 18-10, do not forget copper sealing
rings (13) when re-assembling. If the seals have been changed,
check that the thickness is correct, (=1.5 mm), as the thickness of
these sealings influences valve function.

46-200523 Lubricating oil system Appendix 18D
The wet sump can be provided with an oil level transducer, which
makes the use of an oil level stick unnecessary.
It consists of three floaters and four relays, which control the level of
lubricating oil in the oil sump:
1 The middle float (1) controls two relays, see Fig 18D-1. In the
lower position it starts the oil supply pump for oil refill and in the
higher position it stops the pump. The quantity filled is equivalent
to 10% of the total oil volume in the wet sump.
2 The upper float (2) controls the maximum limit of lubricating
oil. If the oil surface for some reason reaches this level an alarm is
activated resulting in engine shutdown.
3 The lower float (3) controls the minimum limit of lubricating
oil. If the oil level reaches this point an alarm is activated resulting
in engine shutdown.
Note! After an engine shutdown due to too low or high lubricating oil level
the engine may not be restarted before the reason for shutdown is
clarified and eliminated and the lubricating oil level is restored to
the right level.

19.1.1 HT circuit
The HT circuit includes cylinders, cylinder heads, charge air and turbo-
charger (except TPL-turbochargers, which are not water cooled).
In some installations the HT-stage of the charge air cooler can be cooled
by LT-water.
For more detail information, see separate installation specific
documentation.
From the pump water flows to the distributing duct which is cast in
the engine block. From the distributing ducts, water flows through the
cooling water bores in the cylinder liners and continues to the cylinder
heads. In the cylinder head water is forced by the intermediate deck to
flow along the flame plate, around the valves to the exhaust valve seats
and up along the fuel injector sleeve.
From the cylinder head water flows out through a connection piece (1)
to the collecting pipe (2) (see Fig 19-2 ) and, depending on installation,
through the first stage of the charge air cooler or to a preheating unit.
In case of water cooled turbochargers, part of water flows through the
turbocharger parallel to the flow to the cylinders.
The system outside the engine is not handled in this manual.
See separate installation specific documentation.

19.1.2 LT circuit
The LT circuit cools the charge air and the lube oil, see Fig 19-2 and
Fig 19-3.
LT water flows first through the second stage of the charge air cooler,
then to the separate lube oil cooler and through the separate tempera-
ture control valve.
Depending of installation, the LT-water can be connected to the
HT-stage of the charge air cooler after lube oil cooler.
The engine can be equipped as an option with a 3-stage air cooler, if
adequate cooling of charge air can not be achieved by 2-stage cooler,
see chapter 01.2.
The necessary cooling for the LT water is gained from the central
cooler.
The system outside the engine is not handled in this manual.

Caution! Do not keep the wrench against the bellows when tightening,
otherwise the bellows can be deformated.
Thermal expansion of the connection piece (7), see Fig 20-3, as well as
the transversal movement of the last engine side exhaust pipe section
(8) cause together lateral movement (=misalignment) of the bellows
flanges. To avoid overstressing the convolutions a proper alignment
with a pre-offset is required.

21.1 Description
The engine is started with compressed air of max 30 bar pressure.
Minimum pressure required is 15 bar. The main starting valve (01), see
Fig 21-1, is a special design with integrated throttle valve for slow turning,
see chapter 03. A pressure gauge (38) mounted on the instrument panel
indicates the pressure before the main starting valve. The inlet air pipe
from the starting air receiver is provided with a non return valve (14) and
a blow off valve (13) before the main starting air valve (01).
The main starting/slow turning valve is operated pneumatically via
the solenoid control valves (16) and (17) by pushing the start button
(39) on the local instrument panel or by activating the solenoids from
remote control.

When the main starting valve opens, the starting air passes through
the slow turning valve (22) (if not activated) and partly through the
flame arrestors (02) to the starting valve (03) in the cylinder head. Part
of the air passes through the blocking valve (09) on the turning gear (if
not engaged) and through the starting air distributor (04) to open the
starting valves in the cylinder head. The starting air distributor
controls the opening time and sequence of the starting valves.
Slow turning is automatically activated for two revolutions if the engine
has been stopped for more than 30 min.
Blocking valve (09) on the turning gear is a precaution to prevent the
engine from starting when turning gear is engaged.

When the starting signal is over the main starting valve closes and the
starting air pressure in engine piping is vented through connection (C).
21.3.1 Description
The starting air distributor is of the piston type with precision ma-
chined interchangeable liners (26). The liners as well as the pistons are
of corrosion resistant materials. The distributor pistons are controlled
by a cam (28) at the camshaft end. When the main starting valve opens,
the control pistons (27) are pressed against the cam, whereby the
control piston for the engine cylinder which is in starting position
admits control air to the piston (35) of the starting valve, see Fig 21-4.
The starting valve opens and allows air pressure to pass into the engine
cylinder.

The procedure will be repeated as long as the main starting valve is
open or until the engine speed is so high that the engine fires. After the
WÄRTSILÄ 50DF 21 - 3
21 Starting air system 50-200536-07
main starting valve has closed, the pressure drops quickly and the
springs (32) lift the pistons off the cam. This means that the pistons
touch the cam only during the starting cycle and thus the wear is
insignificant.
1 Remove the protecting plate (29) and end plate (30), see Fig
21-3. Loosen all pippes from the distributor. Remove the fastening
screws and lift the distributor off.
2 Remove the plugs (31). The pistons (27) will come out due to
the spring force (32).
3 Take care not to damage the sliding surfaces of the pistons
and liners.
4 In case of a stuck piston, use thread M8 at the end of the
piston to get it out, if necessary.
5 It is recommended not to change the place of the pistons,
although they are precision machined to be interchangeable. Utilize
cylinder numbers stamped at the control air connections.
6 Clean the parts and check for wear.
7 If a liner is worn, press it out. It may be necessary to heat the
distributor up to about 200°C as Loctite is used for fixing and sealing.
8 Clean the bore carefully so that the new liner can be inserted
by hand. Otherwise there is a risk of deformation of the liner and
sticking of the piston.
9 Apply Loctite 242 on the outside surfaces when mounting the
liner. Check that the openings in the liner correspond to those in
the housing.
10 Check that there is no Loctite on the inside sliding surfaces.
11 Apply Molykote Paste G to the piston sliding surfaces before
reassembling. Wipe off surplus paste. Check that pistons do not
stick.
12 Apply silicon sealant to both sides of the intermediate plate
(33). Do not use too much as surplus sealant will be forced into the
system when tightening the fastening screws.
13 After mounting the distributor to the engine but before con-
necting the control air pipes and the end plate (30), check that all
pistons work satisfactorily, e.g. by connecting compressed air (work-
ing air of 6 bar) to the distributor air inlet and by turning the
crankshaft. It is then possible to see whether the pistons follow the
cam profile.

21.4.1 Description
The starting valve is operated by control air pressure coming from the
starting air distributor. The valve consists of a valve spindle (37) with
a spring-loaded piston (35) mounted in a separate housing.
Check and clean the valve in connection with overhauls of the cylinder
head.
1 Remove the fastening yoke and pull out the valve.
2 Open the self-locking nut (34) and remove the piston (35).
3 Clean all the parts.
4 Check the sealing faces of the valve and valve seat. If neces-
sary, lap the valve by hand. See instructions for the engine valves
in chapter 12.
5 If it is necessary to change the piston seals, take care not to
deform the Teflon ring, located outside the O-ring, more than
necessary. Lubricate the seals and the piston with lubricating oil.
6 After reassembling the valve, check that the valve spindle
with the piston moves easily and closes completely.
7 Check that the vent holes (36) in the valve are open.

The system includes a filter (11), an automatic draining valve (10) and
furthermore an air container (12) and non-return valves to ensure the
pressure in the system in case of a lack of feed pressure, see Fig 21-6.
The main starting valve (01), which is described in detail in section 21.2
is actuated by solenoid valves (CV331) and (CV321) for slow turning
and by (CV321) for starting at remote start. Fig 21-7 shows the solenoid
valve, which is equipped with a push button and can be energized
manually. At the same time as the main starting valve is actuated, an
impulse goes to the automatic water separator, which opens during the
starting cycle to expel condensate water separated by the air filter (11).

The movement from the regulating shaft, to the injection pump fuel
racks (1), is transferred through the control shaft lever (4) and then to
the fuel rack lever (2), see Fig 22-1. The torsion spring (3) enables the
regulating shaft and, consequently, the other fuel racks to be moved to
a stop position, even if one of the racks has jammed. In the same way
the torsion spring (5) enables the regulating shaft to be moved towards
fuel-on position, even if an injection pump has jammed in a no-fuel
position. This feature can be of importance in an emergency situation.
There is also a fixed mechanical limiter (20), see Fig 22-3, affecting
the regulating shaft directly by means of the lever (13). The limiter is
adjusted and locked by the engine manufacturer so that the engine can
not be overloaded and to give the best results for the operating charac-
teristics of the engine.
Note! If for any reason the limiter’s position or its operating characteristics
need to be changed, contact the engine manufacturer. The
changes to be done always under the manufacturer’s supervision,
who also will reseal the limiter after the change.

The speed governor is provided with a stop function by which the engine
can be stopped remotely. The governor stop is also connected to the
electro-pneumatic overspeed protection system and to the automatic
stop system, which stops the engine through a pneumatic stop cylinder
on each injection pump at too low lubricating oil pressure, too high
circulating water temperature, or at any other desired function.
Overspeed trip devices
The engine is provided with two independent overspeed trip devices,
an electro-pneumatic device, see section 22.6 and a mechanical
device, see section 22.5 .
The electro-pneumatic device, see Fig 22-19 moves every fuel rack to
a no-fuel position ( 0 - 2 mm) by means of a pneumatic cylinder on each
injection pump. Air pressure actuates the piston at the free end of the
fuel pump rack.
The mechanical device actuates the lever (14), see Fig 22-1 and Fig
22-10 moving the regulating shaft to stop position. Both the electro-
pneumatic and the mechanical device can be tripped manually.

The trip mechanism is fastened to the camshaft end. When the engine
speed increases, the centrifugal force on the trip mechanism increases
and exceeds the force of the spring (42) at the set trip speed. The weight
(43) is thrown outwards forcing the latch (44) to turn, thus releasing
the spindle (45), which is forced outwards by the working springs (46).
At the same time when the lever (47) is released together with the latch
(44), the lever (47) activates the pneumatic valve (71), air pressure goes
to the cylinder to help the piston (59) to go out as quickly as possible,
see Fig 22-16.

PMOD cabinet
The external 24VDC power supply enters the PMOD via two separate
inputs. The two 24 VDC power supplies are via diodes inside PMOD
connected to a EMC-filter. There are separate distribution lines from
the PMOD to each sub-module, all having an individual fuse.

The function of the fuel feed pump should be checked for each instal-
lation depending on the design of the fuel oil system. Automatic start
and stop of the feed pump, is to be controlled by the unit control panel.

The engine speed is measured, based on the signal from two speed
sensors. Both speed sensors are connected directly to the main control
module (MCM-700), where the speed calculation is carried out in.
The information is used as feedback for the internal speed controller,
but also for overspeed protection, and additionally in some engine
speed dependent control maps. In case both speed signals interrupt in
the main control module, it will use the speed indication sent out over
CAN from the cylinder control modules.
For the gas admission- and pilot injection timing processing, the
cylinder control modules (CCM-10) need accurate information about
the engine speed and engine angular position. Therefore the engine
speed- and phase signals are connected to each cylinder control module,
for this calculation. These signals are hard-wired to each module, i.e.
not transferred as data over CAN.
For redundancy reasons two speed sensors and two phase sensors are
connected to each cylinder control module. The hardwired speed/phase
signal distribution is described in Fig 23-29.

As WECS 8000 must detect the accurate engine angular position, one
missing hole is arranged in both speed sensing hole-peripheries on the
flywheel, i.e. the pulse train will contain one missing pulse for each
engine revolution.
The angular locations of the missing holes are such, that the end-edge
(= positive electrical flank) of the hole coming after the missing hole, is
accurately at TDC (Top Dead Centre) of cylinder (A)1.
The speed sensors use separate holes, but the holes are “in parallel”,
thus the phase difference between the two signals is negligible. The
number of holes is 120 minus the missing one, i.e. 120 - 1.
Prime
Backup
The sensing gap for these engine speed sensors has to be 2,5 mm +/-0,2
mm. The speed signal pulse train from the two speed sensors will have
the shape as in Fig 23-33. This signal is connected to all cylinder control
modules, as well as to the main control module.
The main control module however, has no use of the TDC information,
only the speed level.

The phase sensors are detecting the "phase" of the engine by means
of detecting the position of a "half-moon" disc, attached to the driving
end of the camshaft. This disc is mounted in such a way, that a positive
edge (signal going high) will occur 180° BTDC of cyl. (A)1, and will
remain high until 180° ATDC for the same cylinder, see picture below.
Based on whether the phase signal is high (24VDC) or low (0VDC)
when the missing pulse comes, WECS can exclude the false missing
pulse. Only the missing transition coming while the phase signal is
high, is in WECS defined as true.
The sensing gap for these engine phase sensors has to be 1,5 mm +/-0,2 mm.
All four sensors are individually monitored in the cylinder control
modules, and an alarm will be initiated if any of these sensors would
fail. Each cylinder control module sends the calculated speed over CAN
to the main control module, and if the prime speed signal fails in that
module, it will initiate an alarm, and use the information over CAN as
back-up signal for the speed controller and other calculations.
In case of an engine overspeed, the main control module will instantly
initiate an emergency stop. Also an independent second overspeed
protection is provided on DF engines, as part of the RM-11 module’s
functionality. A separate back-up engine speed sensor is connected to
this independent safety module, which is located in the WECS cabinet
of the engine. The RM-11 initiates independently of WECS an emer-
gency stop of the engine, in case engine overspeed is detected.

· IS872 Engine ready for start: Output is active when the engine
is in stop mode (engine standstill and reset) and no start blocking
is active.
· XS7318 Slowturning pre-warning: Used to start auxiliaries,
such as generator bearing lubricating oil pump etc. Indicates 20
seconds before a periodic slowturning (engine in stand-by), that
this automatically initiated procedure is about to occur. The
output stays high also during the slowturning procedure. Not
active before normal start since the automation system then has
started necessary auxiliaries.
· IS875 Start failure indication: Indicates that an engine start
has failed.
· IB724 Remote control indication: Indicates that the re-
mote/local switch is in remote position, and engine operation is
controlled remotely.
· IS181 Speed switch 1: Output activated at a pre-defined "engine
running" speed level. See installation specific document for de-
tails.
· IS182 Speed switch 2: Output activated at a pre-defined "engine
overspeed" speed level. See installation specific document for
details.
· IS183 Speed switch 3: Output activated at a pre-defined third
speed level. See installation specific document for details.
· IS184 Speed switch 4: Output activated at a pre-defined fourth
speed level. See installation specific document for details.
· IS7323 Shutdown pre-warning: Output activated a pre-de-
fined time before the engine will automatically shut down, to
ensure possible manual activation of the system’s Stop/shutdown
override input, in critical situations. The shutdowns related to
here, are engine internal automatic shutdowns with built-in de-
lays, not emergency stop signals or command signals.

WECS 8000 switches over from start mode to run mode, when the
engine speed reaches 175 rpm during acceleration, and this mode will
remain active until a (manual) stop is requested, or a shutdown- or
emergency stop request has become active.
In run mode, the engine can operate in three different fuel operating
modes; gas-, diesel- or backup mode. The engine can be started in any
of these modes (defined by the status of the gas- diesel- & backup mode
request inputs), and a transfer to another mode is possible under engine
operation. If the engine has been started to operate in backup operating
mode, it is however not possible to perform a transfer to gas operating
mode, because the pilot injector check was not performed during the
start sequence, or has been disabled during engine operation. A trans-
fer from diesel- to gas mode is only possible, after the reason for the
trip has been cleared and a reset performed.
The control sequence in case of a transfer to gas, is built according to
Fig 23-41.

When the WECS 8000 system is powered up, stop mode will be entered
by default. After a manually activated stop of the engine, stop mode
will be entered when the engine is standstill, and a timed delay has
elapsed. Stop mode is also entered after an automatic shutdown or
emergency stop, but not before the engine is standstill and the reset
has been pressed. In case a start blocking is active in stop mode, an
engine start is automatically prohibited. A number of engine condi-
tions, as well as the activation of any of the external start blocking
inputs, can lead to this situation. See Alarm and Safety section for
details. When no start blocking is active, the output ready for start will
be set high. This condition will also be indicated on the LDU.
In stop mode, slowturning will occur periodically, if the remote
standby request input is set high, and the engine ready for start
condition is true.
The control sequences under stop mode, are built according to the
following flow charts Fig 23-53.

The gas supplied to the engine passes at first a gas valve unit (GVU).
The gas valve unit consists of a filter, temperature/pressure sensors, a
pressure regulating valve, safety (shut-off) valves and ventilation
valves.

Engine
The solenoid valves (safety and ventilation valves) on the gas valve unit
are controlled by an engine external system, while the pressure regu-
lating valve is controlled by WECS 8000. During engine start & stop,
the sequenced control of the safety and ventilation valves is communi-
cated between WECS and the unit control panel. This communication
also includes a valve leakage test, performed prior to every engine start.
The gas supply pressure reference is calculated in the WECS 8000 main
control module, and this reference is dependent on the engine load. An
electrical pressure reference signal is sent out to the pressure regulat-
ing valve. The actual gas pressure is measured on the engine and
compared to the reference pressure. If the deviation is too high, an
alarm will be initiated. If the deviation increases even more, the safety
valves on the gas valve unit will cut the gas supply to the engine
immediately.

In diesel- and backup operating mode, the main fuel injection control
is handled by a diesel actuator, setting the angular position of a diesel
fuel rack on the engine. The control signal to this actuator derives
from the same fuel control loop, as used for gas admission (determined
according to speed- or load control conditions of the engine, see speed
control chapter). During a transfer or a trip, the percentage share
between the fuel demand output to the gas admission valves and the
diesel actuator goes through a divider, i.e. the share will ramp from
0 % to 100 % or vice versa. The fuel control loop output is converted
into a proportional electrical signal, which is connected to a rotary
electro/hydraulic actuator. Between the main control module and the
actuator, a signal converter (4¼20mA/0¼200 mA) is used. During
cranking of the engine, the oil pressure in the actuator is boosted be
means of a separately controlled booster valve.

The pilot fuel pump is driven by the engine. The main control module
is controlling the pilot pressure, by means of using a PID-controller.
The reference pilot pressure for this controller is engine speed depend-
ent. For this control loop a pilot pressure sensor is used, and this sensor
is attached to the engine mounted pilot fuel pump unit. In the main
control module the measured pressure is compared to a pressure
reference table, and any deviation from the reference pressure will
result in a fast and accurate control signal change to the pilot fuel pump
unit. The pump unit is provided with a proportional control valve, for
pressure control purpose. Between the main control module and the
pump unit, a 4...20 mA/0...2000 mA current transformer is used. The
pilot pressure is continuously monitored, and if the pressure of some
reason is exceptionally high or low, a trip to backup operating mode
will be initiated.

An even gas admission duration setting for all gas admission valves
will not result in exactly the same gas quantity in all cylinders, due to
the geometry of the engine and due to some deviations in the gas valve
performance. This slight disparity is handled with the cylinder balanc-
ing control. The main control module compares each cylinder’s exhaust
gas temperature with the average exhaust gas temperature of the
entire engine, and adjusts the duration of the individual gas valves
with an offset, in order to minimise the deviation. There are limitations
for the maximum adjustment available in order to prevent that possible
component failures cause a too rich or too lean gas/air mixture. Above
an engine load level of approximately 75 % (tuneable) this compensa-
tion is disabled, and the duration offset will be determined according
to fixed values. The knock control algorithm of WECS 8000 will also
affect the gas admission duration. The cylinder exhaust gas control is
not active in diesel- and backup operating mode.

If the engine is in gas operating mode, and the load level is above
approximately 15 % (tuneable) a cylinder knock based control will
enable. Light knock in any cylinder will immediately result in a slight
reduction of the quantity of gas injected into that cylinder. In order to
maintain the same engine load level, the speed/load controller will
automatically increase the gas admission into other cylinders. When
the situation normalises in the cylinder, the gas admission will slowly
be restored to the original setting.
This process is continuous, and keeps the cylinders slightly out of
knocking conditions. This process will ensure that the efficiency of the
engine is at optimal levels.

Fig 23-65. The CIB unit is attached to the MCM (CCM) module by
screws and multi-connectors inside. In case of malfunction, the MCM
(CCM) module can easily be removed and renewed without disman-
tling the CIB external cabling.
Caution! The engine must be in stop mode and MCM (CCM) power supply
disconnected during dismantling of the module.
