Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide1. Main Data and Outputs

2. Operating Ranges

2.1 Engine operating rangeBelow nominal speed the load must be limited according to the diagrams in this chapter inorder to maintain engine operating parameters within acceptable limits. Operation in theshaded area is permitted only temporarily during transients. Minimum speed is indicated inthe diagram, but project specific limitations may apply.

2.1.1 Controllable pitch propellersAn automatic load control system is required to protect the engine from overload. The loadcontrol reduces the propeller pitch automatically, when a pre-programmed load versus speedcurve (“engine limit curve”) is exceeded, overriding the combinator curve if necessary. Engineload is determined from measured shaft power and actual engine speed. The shaft powermeter is Wärtsilä supply.

The propulsion control must also include automatic limitation of the load increase rate.Maximum loading rates can be found later in this chapter.

The propeller efficiency is highest at design pitch. It is common practice to dimension thepropeller so that the specified ship speed is attained with design pitch, nominal engine speedand 85% output in the specified loading condition. The power demand from a possible shaftgenerator or PTO must be taken into account. The 15% margin is a provision for weatherconditions and fouling of hull and propeller. An additional engine margin can be applied formost economical operation of the engine, or to have reserve power.

2. Operating RangesWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

Fig 2-1 Operating field for CP Propeller, 1145 kW/cyl, 600 rpm

Remarks: The maximum output may have to be reduced depending on gas properties andgas pressure, refer to section "Derating of output in gas mode". The permissible output willin such case be reduced with same percentage at all revolution speeds.

Restrictions for low load operation to be observed.

2.2 Loading capacityControlled load increase is essential for highly supercharged engines, because the turbochargerneeds time to accelerate before it can deliver the required amount of air. Sufficient time toachieve even temperature distribution in engine components must also be ensured. Dual fuelengines operating in gas mode require precise control of the air/fuel ratio, which makescontrolled load increase absolutely decisive for proper operation on gas fuel.

The loading ramp “preheated, normal gas” (see figures) can be used as the default loadingrate for both diesel and gas mode. If the control system has only one load increase ramp, thenthe ramp for a preheated engine must be used. The HT-water temperature in a preheatedengine must be at least 60ºC, preferably 70ºC, and the lubricating oil temperature must be atleast 40ºC.

The loading ramp “max. capacity gas” indicates the maximum capability of the engine in gasmode. Faster loading may result in alarms, knock and undesired trips to diesel. This ramp canalso be used as normal loading rate in diesel mode once the engine has attained normaloperating temperature.

The maximum loading rate “emergency diesel” is close to the maximum capability of theengine in diesel mode. It shall not be used as the normal loading rate in diesel mode.

Emergency loading may only be possible by activating an emergency function, which generatesvisual and audible alarms in the control room and on the bridge.

2-2 Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide2. Operating Ranges

The load should always be applied gradually in normal operation. Acceptable load incrementsare smaller in gas mode than in diesel mode and also smaller at high load, which must betaken into account in applications with sudden load changes. The time between load incrementsmust be such that the maximum loading rate is not exceeded. In the case of electric powergeneration, the classification society shall be contacted at an early stage in the project regardingsystem specifications and engine loading capacity.

Electric generators must be capable of 10% overload. The maximum engine output is 110%in diesel mode and 100% in gas mode. Transfer to diesel mode takes place automatically incase of overload. Lower than specified methane number may also result in automatic transferto diesel when operating close to 100% output. Expected variations in gas fuel quality andmomentary load level must be taken into account to ensure that gas operation can bemaintained in normal operation.

2.2.1 Mechanical propulsion, controllable pitch propeller (CPP)

Fig 2-2 Maximum load increase rates for variable speed engines

The propulsion control must not permit faster load reduction than 20 s from 100% to 0%without automatic transfer to diesel first.

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016 2-3

2. Operating RangesWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

2.2.2 Constant speed applications

Fig 2-3 Maximum load increase rates for engines operating at nominal speed

The propulsion control and the power management system must not permit faster loadreduction than 20 s from 100% to 0% without automatic transfer to diesel first.

In electric propulsion applications loading ramps are implemented both in the propulsioncontrol and in the power management system, or in the engine speed control in caseisochronous load sharing is applied. When the load sharing is based on speed droop, it mustbe taken into account that the load increase rate of a recently connected generator is the sumof the load transfer performed by the power management system and the load increaseperformed by the propulsion control.

2.2.2.1 Maximum instant load stepsThe electrical system must be designed so that tripping of breakers can be safely handled.This requires that the engines are protected from load steps exceeding their maximum loadacceptance capability. If fast load shedding is complicated to implement or undesired, theinstant load step capacity can be increased with a fast acting signal that requests transfer todiesel mode.

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide2. Operating Ranges

Gas mode

Fig 2-4 Maximum instant load steps in % of MCR in gas mode

● Maximum step-wise load increases according to figure

● Steady-state frequency band ≤ 1.5 %

● Maximum speed drop 10 %

● Recovery time ≤ 10 s

● Maximum step-wise load reductions: 100-75-45-0%

Diesel mode

● Maximum step-wise load increase 33% of MCR

● Steady-state frequency band ≤ 1.0 %

● Maximum speed drop 10 %

● Recovery time ≤ 5 s

Start-up

A stand-by generator reaches nominal speed in 50-70 seconds after the start signal (checkof pilot fuel injection is always performed during a normal start).

With black-out start active nominal speed is reached in about 25 s (pilot fuel injection disabled).

The engine can be started with gas mode selected provided that the engine is preheated andthe air receiver temperature is at required level. It will then start on MDF and gas fuel will beused as soon as the pilot check is completed and the gas supply system is ready.

Start and stop on heavy fuel is not restricted.

2.3 Operation at low load and idlingAbsolute idling (declutched main engine, disconnected generator):

● Maximum 10 minutes if the engine is to be stopped after the idling. 3-5 minutes idlingbefore stop is recommended.

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016 2-5

2. Operating RangesWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

● Maximum 8 hours if the engine is to be loaded after the idling.

Operation below 20 % load on HFO or below 10 % load on MDF or gas:

● Maximum 100 hours continuous operation. At intervals of 100 operating hours the enginemust be loaded to min. 70% of the rated output for 1 hour.

● If operated longer than 30h in liquid fuel mode, the engine must be loaded to minimum70% of rated output for 1 hour before transfer to gas.

● Before operating below 10% in gas mode the engine must run above 10% load for at least10 minutes. It is however acceptable to change to gas mode directly after the engine hasreached nominal speed after the engine has started, provided that the charge air temperatureis above 55°C.

Operation above 20 % load on HFO or above 10 % load on MDF or gas:

● No restrictions.

2.4 Low air temperatureThe minimum inlet air temperature of 5°C applies, when the inlet air is taken from the engineroom.

Engines can run in colder conditions at high loads (suction air lower than 5°C) provided thatspecial provisions are considered to prevent too low HT-water temperature and T/C surge.

For start, idling and low load operations (Ch 2.3), suction air temperature shall be maintainedat 5°C.

If necessary, the preheating arrangement can be designed to heat the running engine (capacityto be checked).

For further guidelines, see chapter Combustion air system design.

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide3. Technical Data

4. Description of the Engine

4.1 Definitions

Fig 4-1 In-line engine and V-engine definitions (1V93C0029 / 1V93C0028)

4.2 Main components and systemsMain dimensions and weights are presented in the chapter Main Data and Outputs.

4.2.1 Engine blockThe engine block is made of nodular cast iron and it is cast in one piece.

The block has a stiff and durable design, which makes it suitable for resilient mounting withoutintermediate foundations.

The engine has an underslung crankshaft supported by main bearing caps made of nodularcast iron. The bearing caps are guided sideways by the engine block, both at the top and atthe bottom. Hydraulically tensioned bearing cap screws and horizontal side screws securethe main bearing caps.

At the driving end there is a combined thrust bearing and radial bearing for the camshaft driveand flywheel. The bearing housing of the intermediate gear is integrated in the engine block.

The cooling water is distributed around the cylinder liners with water distribution rings at thelower end of the cylinder collar. There is no wet space in the engine block around the cylinderliner, which eliminates the risk of water leakage into the crankcase.

4.2.2 CrankshaftLow bearing loads, robust design and a crank gear capable of high cylinder pressures wereset out to be the main design criteria for the crankshaft. The moderate bore to stroke ratio isa key element to achieve high rigidity.

The crankshaft line is built up from three-pieces: crankshaft, gear and end piece. The crankshaftitself is forged in one piece. Each crankthrow is individually fully balanced for safe bearingfunction. Clean steel technology minimizes the amount of slag forming elements and guaranteessuperior material properties.

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016 4-1

4. Description of the EngineWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

All crankshafts can be equipped with a torsional vibration damper at the free end of the engine,if required by the application. Full output is available also from the free end of the enginethrough a power-take-off (PTO).

The main bearing and crankpin bearing temperatures are continuously monitored.

4.2.3 Connecting rodThe connecting rods are of three-piece design, which makes it possible to pull a piston withoutopening the big end bearing. Extensive research and development has been made to developa connecting rod in which the combustion forces are distributed to a maximum area of thebig end bearing.

The connecting rod of alloy steel is forged and has a fully machined shank. The lower end issplit horizontally to allow removal of piston and connecting rod through the cylinder liner. Allconnecting rod bolts are hydraulically tightened. The gudgeon pin bearing is solid aluminiumbronze.

Oil is led to the gudgeon pin bearing and piston through a bore in the connecting rod.

4.2.4 Main bearings and big end bearingsThe main bearings and the big end bearings have steel backs and thin layers for good resistanceagainst fatigue and corrosion. Both tri-metal and bi-metal bearings are used.

4.2.5 Cylinder linerThe centrifugally cast cylinder liner has a high and rigid collar preventing deformations due tothe cylinder pressure and pretension forces. A distortion-free liner bore in combination withwear resistant materials and good lubrication provide optimum running conditions for thepiston and piston rings. The liner material is a special grey cast iron alloy developed for excellentwear resistance and high strength.

Accurate temperature control is achieved with precisely positioned longitudinal cooling waterbores.

An anti-polishing ring removes deposits from piston top land, which eliminates increasedlubricating oil consumption due to bore polishing and liner wear.

4.2.6 PistonThe piston is of two-piece design with nodular cast iron skirt and steel crown. Wärtsilä patentedskirt lubrication minimizes frictional losses and ensure appropriate lubrication of both thepiston skirt and piston rings under all operating conditions.

4.2.7 Piston ringsThe piston ring set consists of two compression rings and one spring-loaded conformable oilscraper ring. All piston rings have a wear resistant coating.Two compression rings and oneoil scraper ring in combination with pressure lubricated piston skirt give low friction and highseizure resistance. Both compression ring grooves are hardened for good wear resistance.

4.2.8 Cylinder headA rigid box/cone-like design ensures even circumferential contact pressure and permits highcylinder pressure. Only four hydraulically tightened cylinder head studs simplify the maintenanceand leaves more room for optimisation of the inlet and outlet port flow characteristics.

The exhaust valve seats are water cooled. Closed seat rings without water pocket betweenthe seat and the cylinder head ensure long lifetime for valves and seats. Both inlet and exhaustvalves are equipped with valve rotators.

4-2 Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide4. Description of the Engine

4.2.9 Camshaft and valve mechanismThe camshaft is built of forged pieces with integrated cams, one section per cylinder. Thecamshaft sections are connected through separate bearing journals, which makes it possibleto remove single camshaft sections sideways. The bearing housings are integrated in theengine block casting and thus completely closed.

4.2.10 Camshaft driveThe camshaft is driven by the crankshaft through a gear train. The gear wheel on the crankshaftis clamped between the crankshaft and the end piece with expansion bolts.

4.2.11 Fuel injection equipment

4.2.11.1 Main fuel oil injectionThe low pressure fuel lines consist of drilled channels in cast parts that are firmly clamped tothe engine block. The entire fuel system is enclosed in a fully covered compartment formaximum safety. All leakages from injection valves, pumps and pipes are collected in a closedsystem. The pumps are completely sealed off from the camshaft compartment and providedwith drain for leakage oil.

The injection nozzles are cooled by lubricating oil.

Wärtsilä 46DF engines are equipped with twin plunger pumps that enable control of the injectiontiming. In addition to the timing control, the twin plunger solution also combines high mechanicalstrength with cost efficient design.

One plunger controls the start of injection, i.e. the timing, while the other plunger controlswhen the injection ends, thus the quantity of injected fuel. Timing is controlled according toengine revolution speed and load level (also other options), while the quantity is controlled asnormally by the speed control.

4.2.11.2 Pilot fuel injectionThe pilot fuel injection system is used to ignite the air-gas mixture in the cylinder when operatingthe engine in gas mode. The pilot fuel injection system uses the same external fuel feed systemas the main fuel oil injection system.

The pilot fuel system comprises the following built-on equipment:

● Pilot fuel oil filter

● Common rail high pressure pump

● Common rail piping

● Twin fuel oil injection valve for each cylinder

The pilot fuel filter is a full flow duplex unit preventing impurities entering the pilot fuel system.The fineness of the filter is 10 µm.

The high pressure pilot fuel pump is of engine-driven type in case of diesel-electric enginesdriving generators and electrically driven type in case of variable speed engines drivingpropellers. The pilot fuel pump is mounted in the free end of the engine. The delivered fuelpressure is controlled by the engine control system and is approximately 100 MPa.

Pressurized pilot fuel is delivered from the pump unit into a small diameter common rail pipe.The common rail pipe delivers pilot fuel to each injection valve and acts as a pressureaccumulator against pressure pulses. The high pressure piping is of double wall shielded typeand well protected inside the hot box. The feed pipes distribute the pilot fuel from the commonrail to the injection valves.

The pilot diesel injection part of the twin fuel oil injection valve has a needle actuated by asolenoid, which is controlled by the engine control system. The pilot diesel fuel is admitted

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016 4-3

4. Description of the EngineWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

through a high pressure connection screwed in the nozzle holder. When the engine runs indiesel mode the pilot fuel injection is also in operation to keep the needle clean.

4.2.12 Lubricating oil systemThe engine is equipped with a dry oil sump.

In the standard configuration the engine is also equipped with an engine driven lubricating oilpump, located in free end, and a lubricating oil module located in the opposite end to theturbocharger. The lubricating oil module consists of an oil cooler with temperature controlvalves and an automatic filter. A centrifugal filter on the engine serves as an indication filter.

The pre-lubricating oil pump is to be installed in the external system.

4.2.13 Cooling water systemThe fresh water cooling system is divided into a high temperature (HT) and a low temperature(LT) circuit. The HT-water cools cylinder liners, cylinder heads and the first stage of the chargeair cooler. The LT-water cools the second stage of the charge air cooler and the lubricatingoil.

In the most complete configuration the HT and LT cooling water pumps are both engine driven,and the electrically actuated temperature control valves are built on the engine. When desired,it is however possible to configure the engine without engine driven LT-pump, or even withoutboth cooling water pumps.

The temperature control valves are equipped with a hand wheel for emergency operation.

4.2.14 Turbocharging and charge air coolingThe SPEX (Single Pipe EXhaust system) turbocharging system combines the advantages ofboth pulse and constant pressure systems. The complete exhaust gas manifold is enclosedby a heat insulation box to ensure low surface temperatures.

In-line engines have one turbocharger and V-engines have one turbocharger per cylinder bank.The turbocharger(s) are installed transversely, and are placed at the free end of the engine.Vertical, longitudinally inclined, and horizontal exhaust gas outlets are available.

In order to optimize the turbocharging system for both high and low load performance, as wellas diesel mode and gas mode operation, a pressure relief valve system “waste gate” is installedon the exhaust gas side. The waste gate is activated at high load.

The charge air cooler is as standard of 2-stage type, consisting of HT- and LT-water stage.Fresh water is used for both circuits.

For cleaning of the turbocharger during operation there is, as standard, a water-washing devicefor the air side as well as the exhaust gas side.

The turbocharger is supplied with inboard plain bearings, which offers easy maintenance ofthe cartridge from the compressor side. The turbocharger is lubricated by engine lubricatingoil with integrated connections.

4.2.15 Automation systemWärtsilä 46DF is equipped with a modular embedded automation system, Wärtsilä UnifiedControls - UNIC.

The UNIC system have hardwired interface for control functions and a bus communicationinterface for alarm and monitoring. A engine safety module and a local control panel aremounted on the engine. The engine safety module handles fundamental safety, for exampleoverspeed and low lubricating oil pressure shutdown. The safety module also performs faultdetection on critical signals and alerts the alarm system about detected failures. The localcontrol panel has push buttons for local start/stop and shutdown reset, as well as a display

showing the most important operating parameters. Speed control is included in the automationsystem on the engine.

All necessary engine control functions are handled by the equipment on the engine, buscommunication to external systems, a more comprehensive local display unit, and fuel injectioncontrol.

Conventional heavy duty cables are used on the engine and the number of connectors areminimised. Power supply, bus communication and safety-critical functions are doubled onthe engine. All cables to/from external systems are connected to terminals in the main cabineton the engine.

4.2.16 Variable Inlet valve ClosureVariable Inlet valve Closure (VIC), offers flexibility to apply early inlet valve closure at high loadfor lowest NOx levels, while good part-load performance is ensured by adjusting the advanceto zero at low load. The inlet valve closure can be adjusted up to 30° crank angle.

5. Piping Design, Treatment and Installation

This chapter provides general guidelines for the design, construction and planning of pipingsystems, however, not excluding other solutions of at least equal standard. Installation relatedinstructions are included in the project specific instructions delivered for each installation.

Fuel, lubricating oil, fresh water and compressed air piping is usually made in seamless carbonsteel (DIN 2448) and seamless precision tubes in carbon or stainless steel (DIN 2391), exhaustgas piping in welded pipes of corten or carbon steel (DIN 2458). Sea-water piping should bein Cunifer or hot dip galvanized steel.

Gas piping between Gas Valve Unit and the engine is to be made of stainless steel.

NOTE

The pipes in the freshwater side of the cooling water system must not be galvanized!

Attention must be paid to fire risk aspects. Fuel supply and return lines shall be designed sothat they can be fitted without tension. Flexible hoses must have an approval from theclassification society. If flexible hoses are used in the compressed air system, a purge valveshall be fitted in front of the hose(s).

It is recommended to make a fitting order plan prior to construction.

The following aspects shall be taken into consideration:

● Pockets shall be avoided. When not possible, drain plugs and air vents shall be installed

● Leak fuel drain pipes shall have continuous slope

● Vent pipes shall be continuously rising

● Flanged connections shall be used, cutting ring joints for precision tubes

● Flanged connections shall be used in fuel oil, lubricating oil, compressed air and freshwater piping

● Welded connections (TIG) must be used in gas fuel piping as far as practicable, but flangedconnections can be used where deemed necessary

Maintenance access and dismounting space of valves, coolers and other devices shall betaken into consideration. Flange connections and other joints shall be located so thatdismounting of the equipment can be made with reasonable effort.

5.1 Pipe dimensionsWhen selecting the pipe dimensions, take into account:

● The pipe material and its resistance to corrosion/erosion.

● Allowed pressure loss in the circuit vs delivery head of the pump.

● Required net positive suction head (NPSH) for pumps (suction lines).

● In small pipe sizes the max acceptable velocity is usually somewhat lower than in largepipes of equal length.

● The flow velocity should not be below 1 m/s in sea water piping due to increased risk offouling and pitting.

● In open circuits the velocity in the suction pipe is typically about 2/3 of the velocity in thedelivery pipe.

4.5Rubber lined pipes

NOTE

The diameter of gas fuel piping depends only on the allowed pressure loss in thepiping, which has to be calculated project specifically.

Compressed air pipe sizing has to be calculated project specifically. The pipe sizes may bechosen on the basis of air velocity or pressure drop. In each pipeline case it is advised tocheck the pipe sizes using both methods, this to ensure that the alternative limits are not beingexceeded.

Pipeline sizing on air velocity: For dry air, practical experience shows that reasonablevelocities are 25...30 m/s, but these should be regarded as the maximum above which noiseand erosion will take place, particularly if air is not dry. Even these velocities can be high interms of their effect on pressure drop. In longer supply lines, it is often necessary to restrictvelocities to 15 m/s to limit the pressure drop.

Pipeline sizing on pressure drop: As a rule of thumb the pressure drop from the starting airvessel to the inlet of the engine should be max. 0.1 MPa (1 bar) when the bottle pressure is 3MPa (30 bar).

It is essential that the instrument air pressure, feeding to some critical control instrumentation,is not allowed to fall below the nominal pressure stated in chapter "Compressed air system"due to pressure drop in the pipeline.

5.2 Trace heatingThe following pipes shall be equipped with trace heating (steam, thermal oil or electrical). Itshall be possible to shut off the trace heating.

● All heavy fuel pipes

● All leak fuel and filter flushing pipes carrying heavy fuel

5.3 Pressure classThe pressure class of the piping should be higher than or equal to the design pressure, whichshould be higher than or equal to the highest operating (working) pressure. The highestoperating (working) pressure is equal to the setting of the safety valve in a system.

5-2 Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide5. Piping Design, Treatment and Installation

The pressure in the system can:

● Originate from a positive displacement pump

● Be a combination of the static pressure and the pressure on the highest point of the pumpcurve for a centrifugal pump

● Rise in an isolated system if the liquid is heated

Within this publication there are tables attached to drawings, which specify pressure classesof connections. The pressure class of a connection can be higher than the pressure classrequired for the pipe.

Example 1:

The fuel pressure before the engine should be 0.7 MPa (7 bar). The safety filter in dirty conditionmay cause a pressure loss of 0.1 MPa (1.0 bar). The viscosimeter, automatic filter, preheaterand piping may cause a pressure loss of 0.25 MPa (2.5 bar). Consequently the dischargepressure of the circulating pumps may rise to 1.05 MPa (10.5 bar), and the safety valve of thepump shall thus be adjusted e.g. to 1.2 MPa (12 bar).

● A design pressure of not less than 1.2 MPa (12 bar) has to be selected.

● The nearest pipe class to be selected is PN16.

● Piping test pressure is normally 1.5 x the design pressure = 1.8 MPa (18 bar).

Example 2:

The pressure on the suction side of the cooling water pump is 0.1 MPa (1 bar). The deliveryhead of the pump is 0.3 MPa (3 bar), leading to a discharge pressure of 0.4 MPa (4 bar). Thehighest point of the pump curve (at or near zero flow) is 0.1 MPa (1 bar) higher than the nominalpoint, and consequently the discharge pressure may rise to 0.5 MPa (5 bar) (with closed orthrottled valves).

● Consequently a design pressure of not less than 0.5 MPa (5 bar) shall be selected.

● The nearest pipe class to be selected is PN6.

● Piping test pressure is normally 1.5 x the design pressure = 0.75 MPa (7.5 bar).

Standard pressure classes are PN4, PN6, PN10, PN16, PN25, PN40, etc.

5.4 Pipe classClassification societies categorize piping systems in different classes (DNV) or groups (ABS)depending on pressure, temperature and media. The pipe class can determine:

● Type of connections to be used

● Heat treatment

● Welding procedure

● Test method

Systems with high design pressures and temperatures and hazardous media belong to classI (or group I), others to II or III as applicable. Quality requirements are highest on class I.

Examples of classes of piping systems as per DNV rules are presented in the table below.

Gas piping is to be designed, manufactured and documented according to the rules of therelevant classification society.

In the absence of specific rules or if less stringent than those of DNV, the application of DNVrules is recommended.

Relevant DNV rules:

● Ship Rules Part 4 Chapter 6, Piping Systems

5.5 InsulationThe following pipes shall be insulated:

● All trace heated pipes

● Exhaust gas pipes

● Exposed parts of pipes with temperature > 60°C

Insulation is also recommended for:

● Pipes between engine or system oil tank and lubricating oil separator

● Pipes between engine and jacket water preheater

5.6 Local gaugesLocal thermometers should be installed wherever a new temperature occurs, i.e. before andafter heat exchangers, etc.

Pressure gauges should be installed on the suction and discharge side of each pump.

5.7 Cleaning proceduresInstructions shall be given at an early stage to manufacturers and fitters how different pipingsystems shall be treated, cleaned and protected.

5.7.1 Cleanliness during pipe installationAll piping must be verified to be clean before lifting it onboard for installation. During theconstruction time uncompleted piping systems shall be maintained clean. Open pipe endsshould be temporarily closed. Possible debris shall be removed with a suitable method. Alltanks must be inspected and found clean before filling up with fuel, oil or water.

Piping cleaning methods are summarised in table below:

5.9 Clamping of pipesIt is very important to fix the pipes to rigid structures next to flexible pipe connections in orderto prevent damage caused by vibration. The following guidelines should be applied:

● Pipe clamps and supports next to the engine must be very rigid and welded to the steelstructure of the foundation.

● The first support should be located as close as possible to the flexible connection. Nextsupport should be 0.3-0.5 m from the first support.

● First three supports closest to the engine or generating set should be fixed supports. Wherenecessary, sliding supports can be used after these three fixed supports to allow thermalexpansion of the pipe.

● Supports should never be welded directly to the pipe. Either pipe clamps or flange supportsshould be used for flexible connection.

Examples of flange support structures are shown in Figure 5-2. A typical pipe clamp for afixed support is shown in Figure 5-3. Pipe clamps must be made of steel; plastic clamps orsimilar may not be used.

6.1.2 Liquid fuel specificationThe fuel specifications are based on the ISO 8217:2012 (E) standard. Observe that a fewadditional properties not included in the standard are listed in the tables. For maximum fueltemperature before the engine, see chapter "Technical Data".

The fuel shall not contain any added substances or chemical waste, which jeopardizes thesafety of installations or adversely affects the performance of the engines or is harmful topersonnel or contributes overall to air pollution.

6.1.2.1 Marine Diesel Fuel (MDF)Distillate fuel grades are ISO-F-DMX, DMA, DMZ, DMB. These fuel grades are referred to asMDF (Marine Diesel Fuel).

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016 6-1

6. Fuel SystemWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

The distillate grades mentioned above can be described as follows:

● DMX: A fuel which is suitable for use at ambient temperatures down to -15°C withoutheating the fuel. Especially in merchant marine applications its use is restricted to lifeboatengines and certain emergency equipment due to the reduced flash point. The low flashpoint which is not meeting the SOLAS requirement can also prevent the use in other marineapplications, unless the fuel system is built according to special requirements. Also thelow viscosity (min. 1.4 cSt) can prevent the use in engines unless the fuel can be cooleddown enough to meet the min. injection viscosity limit of the engine.

● DMA: A high quality distillate, generally designated as MGO (Marine Gas Oil).

● DMZ: A high quality distillate, generally designated as MGO (Marine Gas Oil). An alternativefuel grade for engines requiring a higher fuel viscosity than specified for DMA grade fuel.

● DMB: A general purpose fuel which may contain trace amounts of residual fuel and isintended for engines not specifically designed to burn residual fuels. It is generallydesignated as MDO (Marine Diesel Oil).

2)

Straight run residues show CCAI values in the 770 to 840 range and have very good ignition quality. Cracked residues deliveredas bunkers may range from 840 to - in exceptional cases - above 900. Most bunkers remain in the max. 850 to 870 range atthe moment. CCAI value cannot always be considered as an accurate tool to determine the ignition properties of the fuel,especially concerning fuels originating from modern and more complex refinery process.

3)

The max. sulphur content must be defined in accordance with relevant statutory limitations.4)

Sodium contributes to hot corrosion on the exhaust valves when combined with high sulphur and vanadium contents. Sodiumalso strongly contributes to fouling of the exhaust gas turbine blading at high loads. The aggressiveness of the fuel dependson its proportions of sodium and vanadium and also on the total amount of ash. Hot corrosion and deposit formation are,however, also influenced by other ash constituents. It is therefore difficult to set strict limits based only on the sodium andvanadium content of the fuel. Also a fuel with lower sodium and vanadium contents than specified above, can cause hotcorrosion on engine components.

5)

The implementation date for compliance with the limit shall be 1 July 2012. Until that, the specified value is given for guidance.6)

It shall be ensured that the pour point is suitable for the equipment on board, especially if the ship operates in cold climates.7)

6.2 Operating principlesWärtsilä 46DF engines are usually installed for dual fuel operation meaning the engine can berun either in gas or diesel operating mode. The operating mode can be changed while theengine is running, within certain limits, without interruption of power generation. If the gassupply would fail, the engine will automatically transfer to diesel mode operation (MDF).

6.2.1 Gas mode operationIn gas operating mode the main fuel is natural gas which is injected into the engine at a lowpressure. The gas is ignited by injecting a small amount of pilot diesel fuel (MDF). Gas andpilot fuel injection are solenoid operated and electronically controlled common rail systems.

6.2.2 Diesel mode operationIn diesel operating mode the engine operates only on liquid fuel oil. MDF or HFO is used asfuel with a conventional diesel fuel injection system. The MDF pilot injection is always active.

6.2.3 Backup mode operationThe engine control and safety system or the blackout detection system can in some situationstransfer the engine to backup mode operation. In this mode the MDF pilot injection system isnot active and operation longer than 30 minutes (with HFO) or 10 hours (with MDF) may causeclogging of the pilot fuel injection nozzles.

When operating the engine in gas mode, the gas is injected through gas admission valves intothe inlet channel of each cylinder. The gas is mixed with the combustion air immediatelyupstream of the inlet valve in the cylinder head. Since the gas valve is timed independently ofthe inlet valve, scavenging of the cylinder is possible without risk that unburned gas is escapingdirectly from the inlet to the exhaust.

The fuel gas can typically be contained as CNG, LNG at atmospheric pressure, or pressurizedLNG. The design of the external fuel gas feed system may vary, but every system shouldprovide natural gas with the correct temperature and pressure to each engine.

6.3.2.3 Double wall gas piping and the ventilation of the pipingThe annular space in double wall piping is ventilated artificially by underpressure created byventilation fans. The first ventilation air inlet to the annular space is located at the engine. Theventilation air is recommended to be taken from a location outside the engine room, throughdedicated piping. The second ventilation air inlet is located at the outside of the tank connectionspace at the end of the double wall piping. To balance the air intake of the two air intakes aflow restrictor is required at the air inlet close to the tank connection space. The ventilationair is taken from both inlets and lead through the annular space of the double wall pipe to theGVU room or to the enclosure of the gas valve unit. From the enclosure of the gas valve unita dedicated ventilation pipe is connected to the ventilation fans and from the fans the pipecontinues to the safe area. The 1,5 meter hazardous area will be formed at the ventilation airinlet and outlet and is to be taken in consideration when the ventilation piping is designed.According to classification societies minimum ventilation capacity has to be at least 30 airchanges per hour. With enclosed GVU this 30 air changes per hour normally correspond to-20 mbar inside the GVU enclosure according to experience from existing installations. However,in some cases required pressure in the ventilation might be slightly higher than -20 mbar andcan be accepted based on case analysis and measurements.

6.3.2.4 Master fuel gas valveFor LNG carriers, IMO IGC code requires a master gas fuel valve to be installed in the fuel gasfeed system. At least one master gas fuel valve is required, but it is recommended to applyone valve for each engine compartment using fuel gas to enable independent operation.

It is always recommended to have one main shut-off valve directly outside the engine roomand valve room in any kind of installation.

6.3.2.5 Fuel gas ventingIn certain situations during normal operation of a DF-engine, as well as due to possible faults,there is a need to safely ventilate the fuel gas piping. During a stop sequence of a DF-enginegas operation the GVU and DF-engine gas venting valves performs a ventilation sequence torelieve pressure from gas piping. Additionally in emergency stop V02 will relief pressure fromgas piping upstream from the GVU.

This small amount of gas can be ventilated outside into the atmosphere, to a place wherethere are no sources of ignition.

Alternatively to ventilating outside into the atmosphere, other means of disposal (e.g. a suitablefurnace) can also be considered. However, this kind of arrangement has to be accepted byclassification society on a case by case basis.

NOTE

All breathing and ventilation pipes that may contain fuel gas must always be builtsloping upwards, so that there is no possibility of fuel gas accumulating inside thepiping.

In case the DF-engine is stopped in gas operating mode, the ventilation valves will openautomatically and quickly reduce the gas pipe pressure to atmospheric pressure.

The pressure drop in the venting lines are to be kept at a minimum.

To prevent gas ventilation to another engine during maintenance vent lines from gas supplyor GVU of different engines cannot be interconnected. However, vent lines from the sameengine can be interconnected to a common header, which shall be lead to the atmosphere.Connecting the engine or GVU venting lines to the LNGPac venting mast is not allowed, dueto risk for backflow of gas into the engine room when LNGPac gas is vented!

6.3.2.6 Purging by inert gasBefore beginning maintenance work, the fuel gas piping system has to be de-pressurized andinerted with an inert gas. If maintenance work is done after the GVU and the enclosure of theGVU hasn’t been opened, it is enough to inert the fuel gas pipe between the GVU and engineby triggering the starting sequence from the GVU control cabinet.

If maintenance work is done on the GVU and the enclosure of the GVU need to be opened,the fuel gas pipes before and after the GVU need to be inerted. Downstream from the GVUincluding the engine built gas piping, inerting is performed by triggering the inerting sequencefrom the GVU control cabinet. Regarding the engine crankcase inerting, a separate inert gasconnection exist located on the engine. Upstream from the GVUdouble-block-and-bleed-valves, the inerting is performed from the gas storage system byfeeding inert gas downstream the fuel gas pipe and out from the GVU gas ventilation pipe.

During certain alarm and emergency situations, there might be a need for inerting the fuel gaspiping between the GVU and engine. This arrangement has to be considered on a case bycase basis and the relevant inert gas connection is located on the GVU.

6.3.2.7 Gas feed pressureThe required fuel gas feed pressure depends on the expected minimum lower heating value(LHV) of the fuel gas, as well as the pressure losses in the feed system to the engine. The LHV

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016 6-13

6. Fuel SystemWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

of the fuel gas has to be above 28 MJ/m3 at 0°C and 101.3 kPa. For pressure requirements,see section "Technical Data" and chapter "1.3.2 Output limitations due to gas feed pressureand lower heating value"

For pressure requirements, see chapters Technical Data and Output limitations due to methanenumber.

● The pressure losses in the gas feed system to engine has to be added to get the requiredgas pressure.

● A pressure drop of kPa over the GVU is a typical value that can be used as guidance.

● The required gas pressure to the engine depends on the engine load. This is regulated bythe GVU.

There are separate pipe connections for the main fuel oil and pilot fuel oil. Main fuel oil canbe Marine Diesel Fuel (MDF) or Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). Pilot fuel oil is always MDF and the pilotfuel system is in operation in both gas- and diesel mode operation.

A pressure control valve in the main fuel oil return line on the engine maintains desired pressurebefore the injection pumps.

6.4.1.1 Leak fuel systemClean leak fuel from the injection valves and the injection pumps is collected on the engineand drained by gravity through a clean leak fuel connection. The clean leak fuel can be re-usedwithout separation. The quantity of clean leak fuel is given in chapter Technical data.

Other possible leak fuel and spilled water and oil is separately drained from the hot-box throughdirty fuel oil connections and it shall be led to a sludge tank.

6.4.2 External fuel oil systemThe design of the external fuel system may vary from ship to ship, but every system shouldprovide well cleaned fuel of correct viscosity and pressure to each engine. Temperature controlis required to maintain stable and correct viscosity of the fuel before the injection pumps (seeTechnical data). Sufficient circulation through every engine connected to the same circuit mustbe ensured in all operating conditions.

The fuel treatment system should comprise at least one settling tank and two separators.Correct dimensioning of HFO separators is of greatest importance, and therefore therecommendations of the separator manufacturer must be closely followed. Poorly centrifugedfuel is harmful to the engine and a high content of water may also damage the fuel feed system.

Injection pumps generate pressure pulses into the fuel feed and return piping. The fuel pipesbetween the feed unit and the engine must be properly clamped to rigid structures. Thedistance between the fixing points should be at close distance next to the engine. See chapterPiping design, treatment and installation.

A connection for compressed air should be provided before the engine, together with a drainfrom the fuel return line to the clean leakage fuel or overflow tank. With this arrangement it ispossible to blow out fuel from the engine prior to maintenance work, to avoid spilling.

6. Fuel SystemWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

NOTE

In multiple engine installations, where several engines are connected to the samefuel feed circuit, it must be possible to close the fuel supply and return linesconnected to the engine individually. This is a SOLAS requirement. It is furtherstipulated that the means of isolation shall not affect the operation of the otherengines, and it shall be possible to close the fuel lines from a position that is notrendered inaccessible due to fire on any of the engines.

6.4.2.1 Fuel heating requirements HFOHeating is required for:

● Bunker tanks, settling tanks, day tanks

● Pipes (trace heating)

● Separators

● Fuel feeder/booster units

To enable pumping the temperature of bunker tanks must always be maintained 5...10°Cabove the pour point, typically at 40...50°C. The heating coils can be designed for a temperatureof 60°C.

The tank heating capacity is determined by the heat loss from the bunker tank and the desiredtemperature increase rate.

6.4.2.2 Fuel tanksThe fuel oil is first transferred from the bunker tanks to settling tanks for initial separation ofsludge and water. After centrifuging the fuel oil is transferred to day tanks, from which fuel issupplied to the engines.

Settling tank, HFO (1T02) and MDF (1T10)

Separate settling tanks for HFO and MDF are recommended.

To ensure sufficient time for settling (water and sediment separation), the capacity of eachtank should be sufficient for min. 24 hours operation at maximum fuel consumption.

The tanks should be provided with internal baffles to achieve efficient settling and have asloped bottom for proper draining.

The temperature in HFO settling tanks should be maintained between 50°C and 70°C, whichrequires heating coils and insulation of the tank. Usuallly MDF settling tanks do not needheating or insulation, but the tank temperature should be in the range 20...40°C.

Day tank, HFO (1T03) and MDF (1T06)

Two day tanks for HFO are to be provided, each with a capacity sufficient for at least 8 hoursoperation at maximum fuel consumption.

A separate tank is to be provided for MDF. The capacity of the MDF tank should ensure fuelsupply for 8 hours.

Settling tanks may not be used instead of day tanks.

The day tank must be designed so that accumulation of sludge near the suction pipe isprevented and the bottom of the tank should be sloped to ensure efficient draining.

HFO day tanks shall be provided with heating coils and insulation. It is recommended that theviscosity is kept below 140 cSt in the day tanks. Due to risk of wax formation, fuels with aviscosity lower than 50 cSt at 50°C must be kept at a temperature higher than the viscositywould require. Continuous separation is nowadays common practice, which means that theHFO day tank temperature normally remains above 90°C.

6-18 Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide6. Fuel System

The temperature in the MDF day tank should be in the range 20...40°C.

The level of the tank must ensure a positive static pressure on the suction side of the fuel feedpumps. If black-out starting with MDF from a gravity tank is foreseen, then the tank must belocated at least 15 m above the engine crankshaft.

Leak fuel tank, clean fuel (1T04)

Clean leak fuel is drained by gravity from the engine. The fuel should be collected in a separateclean leak fuel tank, from where it can be pumped to the day tank and reused withoutseparation. The pipes from the engine to the clean leak fuel tank should be arranged continuoslysloping. The tank and the pipes must be heated and insulated, unless the installation is designedfor operation on MDF only.

In HFO installations the change over valve for leak fuel (1V13) is needed to avoid mixing ofthe MDF and HFO clean leak fuel. When operating the engines in gas mode and MDF iscirculating in the system, the clean MDF leak fuel shall be directed to the MDF clean leak fueltank. Thereby the MDF can be pumped back to the MDF day tank (1T06).

When switching over from HFO to MDF the valve 1V13 shall direct the fuel to the HFO leakfuel tank long time enough to ensure that no HFO is entering the MDF clean leak fuel tank.

Refer to section "Fuel feed system - HFO installations" for an example of the external HFOfuel oil system.

The leak fuel piping should be fully closed to prevent dirt from entering the system.

Leak fuel tank, dirty fuel (1T07)

In normal operation no fuel should leak out from the components of the fuel system. Inconnection with maintenance, or due to unforeseen leaks, fuel or water may spill in the hotbox of the engine. The spilled liquids are collected and drained by gravity from the enginethrough the dirty fuel connection.

Dirty leak fuel shall be led to a sludge tank. The tank and the pipes must be heated andinsulated, unless the installation is designed for operation exclusively on MDF.

6.4.2.3 Fuel treatment

Separation

Heavy fuel (residual, and mixtures of residuals and distillates) must be cleaned in an efficientcentrifugal separator before it is transferred to the day tank.

Classification rules require the separator arrangement to be redundant so that required capacityis maintained with any one unit out of operation.

All recommendations from the separator manufacturer must be closely followed.

Centrifugal disc stack separators are recommended also for installations operating on MDFonly, to remove water and possible contaminants. The capacity of MDF separators should besufficient to ensure the fuel supply at maximum fuel consumption. Would a centrifugal separatorbe considered too expensive for a MDF installation, then it can be accepted to use coalescingtype filters instead. A coalescing filter is usually installed on the suction side of the circulationpump in the fuel feed system. The filter must have a low pressure drop to avoid pump cavitation.

Separator mode of operation

The best separation efficiency is achieved when also the stand-by separator is in operationall the time, and the throughput is reduced according to actual consumption.

Separators with monitoring of cleaned fuel (without gravity disc) operating on a continuousbasis can handle fuels with densities exceeding 991 kg/m3 at 15°C. In this case the main andstand-by separators should be run in parallel.

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016 6-19

6. Fuel SystemWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

When separators with gravity disc are used, then each stand-by separator should be operatedin series with another separator, so that the first separator acts as a purifier and the secondas clarifier. This arrangement can be used for fuels with a density of max. 991 kg/m3 at 15°C.The separators must be of the same size.

Separation efficiency

The term Certified Flow Rate (CFR) has been introduced to express the performance ofseparators according to a common standard. CFR is defined as the flow rate in l/h, 30 minutesafter sludge discharge, at which the separation efficiency of the separator is 85%, when usingdefined test oils and test particles. CFR is defined for equivalent fuel oil viscosities of 380 cStand 700 cSt at 50°C. More information can be found in the CEN (European Committee forStandardisation) document CWA 15375:2005 (E).

The separation efficiency is measure of the separator's capability to remove specified testparticles. The separation efficiency is defined as follows:

where:

separation efficiency [%]n =

Separator unit (1N02/1N05)

Separators are usually supplied as pre-assembled units designed by the separatormanufacturer.

Typically separator modules are equipped with:

● Suction strainer (1F02)

● Feed pump (1P02)

● Pre-heater (1E01)

● Sludge tank (1T05)

● Separator (1S01/1S02)

6. Fuel SystemWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

Recommended fuel temperature after the heater depends on the viscosity, but it is typically98°C for HFO and 20...40°C for MDF. The optimum operating temperature is defined by thesperarator manufacturer.

The required minimum capacity of the heater is:

where:

temperature rise in heater [°C]ΔT =

For heavy fuels ΔT = 48°C can be used, i.e. a settling tank temperature of 50°C. Fuels havinga viscosity higher than 5 cSt at 50°C require pre-heating before the separator.

The heaters to be provided with safety valves and drain pipes to a leakage tank (so that thepossible leakage can be detected).

Separator (1S01/1S02)

Based on a separation time of 23 or 23.5 h/day, the service throughput Q [l/h] of the separatorcan be estimated with the formula:

where:

density of the fuel [kg/m3]ρ =

daily separating time for self cleaning separator [h] (usually = 23 h or 23.5 h)t =

The flow rates recommended for the separator and the grade of fuel must not be exceeded.The lower the flow rate the better the separation efficiency.

Sample valves must be placed before and after the separator.

MDF separator in HFO installations (1S02)

A separator for MDF is recommended also for installations operating primarily on HFO. TheMDF separator can be a smaller size dedicated MDF separator, or a stand-by HFO separatorused for MDF.

Sludge tank (1T05)

The sludge tank should be located directly beneath the separators, or as close as possiblebelow the separators, unless it is integrated in the separator unit. The sludge pipe must becontinuously falling.

If the engines are to be operated on MDF only, heating of the fuel is normally not necessary.In such case it is sufficient to install the equipment listed below. Some of the equipment listedbelow is also to be installed in the MDF part of a HFO fuel oil system.

Circulation pump, MDF (1P03)

The circulation pump maintains the pressure at the injection pumps and circulates the fuel inthe system. It is recommended to use a screw pump as circulation pump. A suction strainerwith a fineness of 0.5 mm should be installed before each pump. There must be a positivestatic pressure of about 30 kPa on the suction side of the pump.

Flow meter, MDF (1I03)

If the return fuel from the engine is conducted to a return fuel tank instead of the day tank,one consumption meter is sufficient for monitoring of the fuel consumption, provided that themeter is installed in the feed line from the day tank (before the return fuel tank). A fuel oil cooleris usually required with a return fuel tank.

The total resistance of the flow meter and the suction strainer must be small enough to ensurea positive static pressure of about 30 kPa on the suction side of the circulation pump.

There should be a by-pass line around the consumption meter, which opens automatically incase of excessive pressure drop.

Fine filter, MDF (1F05)

The fuel oil fine filter is a full flow duplex type filter with steel net. This filter must be installedas near the engine as possible.

The diameter of the pipe between the fine filter and the engine should be the same as thediameter before the filters.

MDF cooler (1E04)

The fuel viscosity may not drop below the minimum value stated in Technical data. Whenoperating on MDF, the practical consequence is that the fuel oil inlet temperature must bekept below 45°C. Very light fuel grades may require even lower temperature.

Sustained operation on MDF usually requires a fuel oil cooler. The cooler is to be installed inthe return line after the engine(s). LT-water is normally used as cooling medium.

If MDF viscosity in day tank drops below stated minimum viscosity limit then it is recommendedto install an MDF cooler into the engine fuel supply line in order to have reliable viscositycontrol.

Black out start

Diesel generators serving as the main source of electrical power must be able to resume theiroperation in a black out situation by means of stored energy. Depending on system designand classification regulations, it may in some cases be permissible to use the emergencygenerator. HFO engines without engine driven fuel feed pump can reach sufficient fuel pressureto enable black out start by means of:

● A gravity tank located min. 15 m above the crankshaft

● A pneumatically driven fuel feed pump (1P11)

● An electrically driven fuel feed pump (1P11) powered by an emergency power source

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide6. Fuel System

HFO pipes shall be properly insulated. If the viscosity of the fuel is 180 cSt/50°C or higher,the pipes must be equipped with trace heating. It sha ll be possible to shut off the heating ofthe pipes when operating on MDF (trace heating to be grouped logically).

Starting and stopping

In diesel mode operation, the engine can be started and stopped on HFO provided that theengine and the fuel system are pre-heated to operating temperature. The fuel must becontinuously circulated also through a stopped engine in order to maintain the operatingtemperature. Changeover to MDF for start and stop is not required.

Prior to overhaul or shutdown of the external system the engine fuel system shall be flushedand filled with MDF.

Changeover from HFO to MDF

The control sequence and the equipment for changing fuel during operation must ensure asmooth change in fuel temperature and viscosity. When MDF is fed through the HFOfeeder/booster unit, the volume in the system is sufficient to ensure a reasonably smoothtransfer.

When there are separate circulating pumps for MDF, then the fuel change should be performedwith the HFO feeder/booster unit before switching over to the MDF circulating pumps. Asmentioned earlier, sustained operation on MDF usually requires a fuel oil cooler. The viscosityat the engine shall not drop below the minimum limit stated in chapter Technical data.

Feeder/booster unit (1N01)

A completely assembled feeder/booster unit can be supplied. This unit comprises the followingequipment:

● Two suction strainers

● Two fuel feed pumps of screw type, equipped with built-on safety valves and electric motors

● One pressure control/overflow valve

● One pressurized de-aeration tank, equipped with a level switch operated vent valve

● Two circulating pumps, same type as the fuel feed pumps

● Two heaters, steam, electric or thermal oil (one heater in operation, the other as spare)

● One automatic back-flushing filter with by-pass filter

● One viscosimeter for control of the heaters

● One control valve for steam or thermal oil heaters, a control cabinet for electric heaters

● One thermostatic valve for emergency control of the heaters

● One control cabinet including starters for pumps

● One alarm panel

The above equipment is built on a steel frame, which can be welded or bolted to its foundationin the ship. The unit has all internal wiring and piping fully assembled. All HFO pipes areinsulated and provided with trace heating.

Fuel feed pump, booster unit (1P04)

The feed pump maintains the pressure in the fuel feed system. It is recommended to use ascrew pump as feed pump. The capacity of the feed pump must be sufficient to preventpressure drop during flushing of the automatic filter.

A suction strainer with a fineness of 0.5 mm should be installed before each pump. Theremust be a positive static pressure of about 30 kPa on the suction side of the pump.

If a fuel consumption meter is required, it should be fitted between the feed pumps and thede-aeration tank. When it is desired to monitor the fuel consumption of individual engines ina multiple engine installation, two flow meters per engine are to be installed: one in the feedline and one in the return line of each engine.

6-28 Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016

There should be a by-pass line around the consumption meter, which opens automatically incase of excessive pressure drop.

If the consumption meter is provided with a prefilter, an alarm for high pressure differenceacross the filter is recommended.

De-aeration tank, booster unit (1T08)

It shall be equipped with a low level alarm switch and a vent valve. The vent pipe should, ifpossible, be led downwards, e.g. to the overflow tank. The tank must be insulated and equippedwith a heating coil. The volume of the tank should be at least 100 l.

Circulation pump, booster unit (1P06)

The purpose of this pump is to circulate the fuel in the system and to maintain the requiredpressure at the injection pumps, which is stated in the chapter Technical data. By circulatingthe fuel in the system it also maintains correct viscosity, and keeps the piping and the injectionpumps at operating temperature.

Heater, booster unit (1E02)

The heater must be able to maintain a fuel viscosity of 14 cSt at maximum fuel consumption,with fuel of the specified grade and a given day tank temperature (required viscosity at injectionpumps stated in Technical data). When operating on high viscosity fuels, the fuel temperatureat the engine inlet may not exceed 135°C however.

The power of the heater is to be controlled by a viscosimeter. The set-point of the viscosimetershall be somewhat lower than the required viscosity at the injection pumps to compensatefor heat losses in the pipes. A thermostat should be fitted as a backup to the viscosity control.

To avoid cracking of the fuel the surface temperature in the heater must not be too high. Theheat transfer rate in relation to the surface area must not exceed 1.5 W/cm2.

The required heater capacity can be estimated with the following formula:

where:

The purpose of the circulation pump is to ensure equal circulation through all engines. Witha common circulation pump for several engines, the fuel flow will be divided according to thepressure distribution in the system (which also tends to change over time) and the controlvalve on the engine has a very flat pressure versus flow curve.

6.4.2.6 FlushingThe external piping system must be thoroughly flushed before the engines are connected andfuel is circulated through the engines. The piping system must have provisions for installationof a temporary flushing filter.

The fuel pipes at the engine (connections 101 and 102) are disconnected and the supply andreturn lines are connected with a temporary pipe or hose on the installation side. All filterinserts are removed, except in the flushing filter of course. The automatic filter and theviscosimeter should be bypassed to prevent damage. The fineness of the flushing filter shouldbe 35 μm or finer.

7.1 Lubricating oil requirements

7.1.1 Engine lubricating oilThe lubricating oil must be of viscosity class SAE 40 and have a viscosity index (VI) of minimum95. The lubricating oil alkalinity (BN) is tied to the fuel grade, as shown in the table below. BNis an abbreviation of Base Number. The value indicates milligrams KOH per gram of oil.

If gas oil or MDF is continuously used as fuel, lubricating oil with a BN of 10-20 is recommendedto be used. In periodic operation with natural gas and MDF, lubricating oil with a BN of 10-15is recommended.

The required lubricating oil alkalinity in HFO operation is tied to the fuel specified for the engine,which is shown in the following table.

C

In installation where engines are running periodically with different fuel qualities, i.e. naturalgas, MDF and HFO, lubricating oil quality must be chosen based on HFO requirements. BN50-55 lubricants are to be selected in the first place for operation on HFO. BN 40 lubricantscan also be used with HFO provided that the sulphur content of the fuel is relatively low, andthe BN remains above the condemning limit for acceptable oil change intervals. BN 30lubricating oils should be used together with HFO only in special cases; for example in SCR(Selective Catalyctic Reduction) installations, if better total economy can be achieved despiteshorter oil change intervals. Lower BN may have a positive influence on the lifetime of theSCR catalyst.

It is not harmful to the engine to use a higher BN than recommended for the fuel grade.

Different oil brands may not be blended, unless it is approved by the oil suppliers. Blendingof different oils must also be approved by Wärtsilä, if the engine still under warranty.

An updated list of approved lubricating oils is supplied for every installation.

7. Lubricating Oil SystemWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

7.3.1 Separation system

7.3.1.1 Separator unit (2N01)Each main engine must have a dedicated lubricating oil separator and the separators shall bedimensioned for continuous separating. If the installation is designed to operate on gas/MDFonly, then intermittent separating might be sufficient.

Separators are usually supplied as pre-assembled units.

Typically lubricating oil separator units are equipped with:

● Feed pump with suction strainer and safety valve

● Preheater

● Separator

● Control cabinet

The lubricating oil separator unit may also be equipped with an intermediate sludge tank anda sludge pump, which offers flexibility in placement of the separator since it is not necessaryto have a sludge tank directly beneath the separator.

Separator feed pump (2P03)

The feed pump must be selected to match the recommended throughput of the separator.Normally the pump is supplied and matched to the separator by the separator manufacturer.

The lowest foreseen temperature in the system oil tank (after a long stop) must be taken intoaccount when dimensioning the electric motor.

Separator preheater (2E02)

The preheater is to be dimensioned according to the feed pump capacity and the temperaturein the system oil tank. When the engine is running, the temperature in the system oil tanklocated in the ship's bottom is normally 65...75°C. To enable separation with a stopped enginethe heater capacity must be sufficient to maintain the required temperature without heat supplyfrom the engine.

Recommended oil temperature after the heater is 95°C.

The surface temperature of the heater must not exceed 150°C in order to avoid cooking ofthe oil.

The heaters should be provided with safety valves and drain pipes to a leakage tank (so thatpossible leakage can be detected).

Separator (2S01)

The separators should preferably be of a type with controlled discharge of the bowl to minimizethe lubricating oil losses.

The service throughput Q [l/h] of the separator can be estimated with the formula:

where:

volume flow [l/h]Q =

engine output [kW]P =

number of through-flows of tank volume per day: 5 for HFO, 4 for MDFn =

operating time [h/day]: 24 for continuous separator operation, 23 for normal dimensioningt =

7-8 Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide7. Lubricating Oil System

Sludge tank (2T06)

The sludge tank should be located directly beneath the separators, or as close as possiblebelow the separators, unless it is integrated in the separator unit. The sludge pipe must becontinuously falling.

7.3.2 System oil tank (2T01)Recommended oil tank volume is stated in chapter Technical data.

The system oil tank is usually located beneath the engine foundation. The tank may not protrudeunder the reduction gear or generator, and it must also be symmetrical in transverse directionunder the engine. The location must further be such that the lubricating oil is not cooled downbelow normal operating temperature. Suction height is especially important with engine drivenlubricating oil pump. Losses in strainers etc. add to the geometric suction height. Maximumsuction ability of the pump is stated in chapter Technical data.

The pipe connection between the engine oil sump and the system oil tank must be flexible toprevent damages due to thermal expansion. The return pipes from the engine oil sump mustend beneath the minimum oil level in the tank. Further on the return pipes must not be locatedin the same corner of the tank as the suction pipe of the pump.

The suction pipe of the pump should have a trumpet shaped or conical inlet to minimise thepressure loss. For the same reason the suction pipe shall be as short and straight as possibleand have a sufficient diameter. A pressure gauge shall be installed close to the inlet of thelubricating oil pump. The suction pipe shall further be equipped with a non-return valve of flaptype without spring. The non-return valve is particularly important with engine driven pumpand it must be installed in such a position that self-closing is ensured.

Suction and return pipes of the separator must not be located close to each other in the tank.

The ventilation pipe from the system oil tank may not be combined with crankcase ventilationpipes.

It must be possible to raise the oil temperature in the tank after a long stop. In cold conditionsit can be necessary to have heating coils in the oil tank in order to ensure pumpability. Theseparator heater can normally be used to raise the oil temperature once the oil is pumpable.Further heat can be transferred to the oil from the preheated engine, provided that the oilviscosity and thus the power consumption of the pre-lubricating oil pump does not exceedthe capacity of the electric motor.

7.3.3 Gravity tank (2T02)In installations without engine driven pump it is required to have a lubricating oil gravity tank,to ensure some lubrication during the time it takes for the engine to stop rotating in a blackoutsituation.

The required height of the tank is about 7 meters above the crankshaft. A minimum pressureof 50 kPa (0.5 bar) must be measured at the inlet to the engine.

7.3.4 Suction strainers (2F01, 2F04, 2F06)It is recommended to install a suction strainer before each pump to protect the pump fromdamage. The suction strainer and the suction pipe must be amply dimensioned to minimize

pressure losses. The suction strainer should always be provided with alarm for high differentialpressure.

Design data:

0.5...1.0 mmFineness

7.3.5 Pre-lubricating oil pump (2P02)The pre-lubricating oil pump is a separately installed scew or gear pump, which is to beequipped with a safety valve.

The installation of a pre-lubricating pump is mandatory. An electrically driven main pump orstandby pump (with full pressure) may not be used instead of a dedicated pre-lubricatingpump, as the maximum permitted pressure is 200 kPa (2 bar) to avoid leakage through thelabyrinth seal in the turbocharger (not a problem when the engine is running). A two speedelectric motor for a main or standby pump is not accepted.

The piping shall be arranged so that the pre-lubricating oil pump fills the main oil pump, whenthe main pump is engine driven.

The pre-lubricating pump should always be running, when the engine is stopped.

Depending on the foreseen oil temperature after a long stop, the suction ability of the pumpand the geometric suction height must be specially considered with regards to high viscosity.With cold oil the pressure at the pump will reach the relief pressure of the safety valve.

NOTE

These dimensions are for guidance only.

7.3.7 Temperature control valve (2V01)The temperature control valve maintains desired oil temperature at the engine inlet, by directingpart of the oil flow through the bypass line instead of through the cooler.

When using a temperature control valve with wax elements, the set-point of the valve mustbe such that 63°C at the engine inlet is not exceeded. This means that the set-point shouldbe e.g. 57°C, in which case the valve starts to open at 54°C and at 63°C it is fully open. Ifselecting a temperature control valve with wax elements that has a set-point of 63°C, the valvemay not be fully open until the oil temperature is e.g. 68°C, which is too high for the engineat full load.

A viscosity of 50 cSt at 60°C can be used for evaluation of the pressure drop (SAE 40, VI 95).

7.3.8 Automatic filter (2F02)It is recommended to select an automatic filter with an insert filter in the bypass line, thusenabling easy changeover to the insert filter during maintenance of the automatic filter. Thebackflushing oil must be filtered before it is conducted back to the system oil tank. Thebackflushing filter can be either integrated in the automatic filter or separate.

Automatic filters are commonly equipped with an integrated safety filter. However, someautomatic filter types, especially automatic filter designed for high flows, may not have thesafety filter built-in. In such case a separate safety filter (2F05) must be installed before theengine.

7.4 Crankcase ventilation systemThe purpose of the crankcase ventilation is to evacuate gases from the crankcase in order tokeep the pressure in the crankcase within acceptable limits.

Each engine must have its own vent pipe into open air. The crankcase ventilation pipes maynot be combined with other ventilation pipes, e.g. vent pipes from the system oil tank.

The diameter of the pipe shall be large enough to avoid excessive back pressure. Other possibleequipment in the piping must also be designed and dimensioned to avoid excessive flowresistance.

A condensate trap must be fitted on the vent pipe near the engine.

The connection between engine and pipe is to be flexible.

7.5 Flushing instructionsFlushing instructions in this Product Guide are for guidance only. For contracted projects,read the specific instructions included in the installation planning instructions (IPI).

7.5.1 Piping and equipment built on the engineFlushing of the piping and equipment built on the engine is not required and flushing oil shallnot be pumped through the engine oil system (which is flushed and clean from the factory).It is however acceptable to circulate the flushing oil via the engine sump if this is advantageous.Cleanliness of the oil sump shall be verified after completed flushing.

7.5.2 External oil systemRefer to the system diagram(s) in section External lubricating oil system for location/descriptionof the components mentioned below.

7.5.3 Type of flushing oil

7.5.3.1 ViscosityIn order for the flushing oil to be able to remove dirt and transport it with the flow, ideal viscosityis 10...50 cSt. The correct viscosity can be achieved by heating engine oil to about 65°C orby using a separate flushing oil which has an ideal viscosity in ambient temperature.

7.5.3.2 Flushing with engine oilThe ideal is to use engine oil for flushing. This requires however that the separator unit is inoperation to heat the oil. Engine oil used for flushing can be reused as engine oil provided thatno debris or other contamination is present in the oil at the end of flushing.

7.5.3.3 Flushing with low viscosity flushing oilIf no separator heating is available during the flushing procedure it is possible to use a lowviscosity flushing oil instead of engine oil. In such a case the low viscosity flushing oil mustbe disposed of after completed flushing. Great care must be taken to drain all flushing oil frompockets and bottom of tanks so that flushing oil remaining in the system will not compromisethe viscosity of the actual engine oil.

7.5.3.4 Lubricating oil sampleTo verify the cleanliness a LO sample shall be taken by the shipyard after the flushing iscompleted. The properties to be analyzed are Viscosity, BN, AN, Insolubles, Fe and ParticleCount.

Commissioning procedures shall in the meantime be continued without interruption unlessthe commissioning engineer believes the oil is contaminated.

8.2 Internal compressed air systemAll engines are started by means of compressed air with a nominal pressure of 3 MPa, theminimum recommended air pressure is 1.8 MPa. The start is performed by direct injection ofair into the cylinders through the starting air valves in the cylinder heads.

All engines have built-on non-return valves and flame arrestors. The engine can not be startedwhen the turning gear is engaged.

The main starting valve, built on the engine, can be operated both manually and electrically.In addition to starting system, the compressed air system is also used for operating thefollowing systems:

● Electro-pneumatic overspeed trip device

● Starting fuel limiter

● Slow turning

● Fuel actuator booster

● Waste gate valve

● Turbocharger cleaning

● HT charge air cooler by-pass valve

● Charge air shut-off valve (optional)

8.3 External compressed air systemThe design of the starting air system is partly determined by classification regulations. Mostclassification societies require that the total capacity is divided into two equally sized startingair receivers and starting air compressors. The requirements concerning multiple engineinstallations can be subject to special consideration by the classification society.

The starting air pipes should always be slightly inclined and equipped with manual or automaticdraining at the lowest points.

Instrument air to safety and control devices must be treated in an air dryer.

8.3.1 Starting air compressor unit (3N02)At least two starting air compressors must be installed. It is recommended that the compressorsare capable of filling the starting air vessel from minimum (1.8 MPa) to maximum pressure in15...30 minutes. For exact determination of the minimum capacity, the rules of the classificationsocieties must be followed.

8-6 Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide8. Compressed Air System

8.3.2 Oil and water separator (3S01)An oil and water separator should always be installed in the pipe between the compressorand the air vessel. Depending on the operation conditions of the installation, an oil and waterseparator may be needed in the pipe between the air vessel and the engine.

8.3.3 Starting air vessel (3T01)The starting air vessels should be dimensioned for a nominal pressure of 3 MPa.

The number and the capacity of the air vessels for propulsion engines depend on therequirements of the classification societies and the type of installation.

It is recommended to use a minimum air pressure of 1.8 MPa, when calculating the requiredvolume of the vessels.

The starting air vessels are to be equipped with at least a manual valve for condensate drain.If the air vessels are mounted horizontally, there must be an inclination of 3...5° towards thedrain valve to ensure efficient draining.

Fig 8-4 Starting air vessel

1) Dimensions are approximate.

The starting air consumption stated in technical data is for a successful start. During start themain starting valve is kept open until the engine starts, or until the max. time for the startingattempt has elapsed. A failed start can consume two times the air volume stated in technicaldata. If the ship has a class notation for unattended machinery spaces, then the starts are tobe demonstrated.

The required total starting air vessel volume can be calculated using the formula:

8.3.4 Air filter, starting air inlet (3F02)Condense formation after the water separator (between starting air compressor and startingair vessels) create and loosen abrasive rust from the piping, fittings and receivers. Thereforeit is recommended to install a filter before the starting air inlet on the engine to prevent particlesto enter the starting air equipment.

An Y-type strainer can be used with a stainless steel screen and mesh size 400 µm. Thepressure drop should not exceed 20 kPa (0.2 bar) for the engine specific starting airconsumption under a time span of 4 seconds.

9. Cooling Water System

9.1 Water qualityThe fresh water in the cooling water system of the engine must fulfil the following requirements:

min. 6.5...8.5pH ...............................

max. 10 °dHHardness .....................

max. 80 mg/lChlorides .....................

max. 150 mg/lSulphates ....................

Good quality tap water can be used, but shore water is not always suitable. It is recommendedto use water produced by an onboard evaporator. Fresh water produced by reverse osmosisplants often has higher chloride content than permitted. Rain water is unsuitable as coolingwater due to the high content of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Only treated fresh water containing approved corrosion inhibitors may be circulated throughthe engines. It is important that water of acceptable quality and approved corrosion inhibitorsare used directly when the system is filled after completed installation.

9.1.1 Corrosion inhibitorsThe use of an approved cooling water additive is mandatory. An updated list of approvedproducts is supplied for every installation and it can also be found in the Instruction manualof the engine, together with dosage and further instructions.

9.1.2 GlycolUse of glycol in the cooling water is not recommended unless it is absolutely necessary. Glycolraises the charge air temperature, which may require de-rating of the engine depending ongas properties and glycol content. Max. 60% glycol is permitted.

Corrosion inhibitors shall be used regardless of glycol in the cooling water.

9. Cooling Water SystemWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

It is recommended to divide the engines into several circuits in multi-engine installations. Onereason is of course redundancy, but it is also easier to tune the individual flows in a smallersystem. Malfunction due to entrained gases, or loss of cooling water in case of large leakscan also be limited. In some installations it can be desirable to separate the HT circuit fromthe LT circuit with a heat exchanger.

The external system shall be designed so that flows, pressures and temperatures are closeto the nominal values in Technical data and the cooling water is properly de-aerated.

Pipes with galvanized inner surfaces are not allowed in the fresh water cooling system. Somecooling water additives react with zinc, forming harmful sludge. Zinc also becomes noblerthan iron at elevated temperatures, which causes severe corrosion of engine components.

Ships (with ice class) designed for cold sea-water should have provisions for recirculationback to the sea chest from the central cooler:

● For melting of ice and slush, to avoid clogging of the sea water strainer

● To enhance the temperature control of the LT water, by increasing the seawater temperature

9.3.1 Waste heat recoveryThe waste heat in the HT cooling water can be used for fresh water production, central heating,tank heating etc. The system should in such case be provided with a temperature controlvalve to avoid unnecessary cooling, as shown in the example diagrams. With this arrangementthe HT water flow through the heat recovery can be increased.

The heat available from HT cooling water is affected by ambient conditions. It should also betaken into account that the recoverable heat is reduced by circulation to the expansion tank,radiation from piping and leakages in temperature control valves.

9.3.2 Expansion tank (4T05)The expansion tank compensates for thermal expansion of the coolant, serves for venting ofthe circuits and provides a sufficient static pressure for the circulating pumps.

Design data:

min. 10% of the total system volumeVolume

NOTE

The maximum pressure at the engine must not be exceeded in case an electricallydriven pump is installed significantly higher than the engine.

Concerning the water volume in the engine, see chapter Technical data.

The expansion tank should be equipped with an inspection hatch, a level gauge, a low levelalarm and necessary means for dosing of cooling water additives.

The vent pipes should enter the tank below the water level. The vent pipes must be drawnseparately to the tank (see air venting) and the pipes should be provided with labels at theexpansion tank.

Small amounts of fuel gas may enter the DF-engine cooling water system. The gas (just likeair) is separated in the cooling water system and will finally be released in the cooling waterexpansion tank. Therefore, the cooling water expansion tank has to be of closed-top type, toprevent release of gas into open air.

The DF-engine cooling water expansion tank breathing has to be treated similarly to the gaspipe ventilation. Openings into open air from the cooling water expansion tank other than thebreather pipe have to be normally either closed or of type that does not allow fuel gas to exit

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide9. Cooling Water System

the tank (e.g. overflow pipe arrangement with water lock). The cooling water expansion tankbreathing pipes of engines located in same engine room can be combined.

The structure and arrangement of cooling water expansion tank may need to be approved byClassification Society project-specifically.

The balance pipe down from the expansion tank must be dimensioned for a flow velocity notexceeding 1.0...1.5 m/s in order to ensure the required pressure at the pump inlet with enginesrunning. The flow through the pipe depends on the number of vent pipes to the tank and thesize of the orifices in the vent pipes. The table below can be used for guidance.

9.3.3 Drain tank (4T04)It is recommended to collect the cooling water with additives in a drain tank, when the systemhas to be drained for maintenance work. A pump should be provided so that the cooling watercan be pumped back into the system and reused.

Concerning the water volume in the engine, see chapter Technical data. The water volume inthe LT circuit of the engine is small.

9.3.4 PreheatingThe cooling water circulating through the cylinders must be preheated to at least 60 ºC,preferably 70 ºC. This is an absolute requirement for installations that are designed to operateon heavy fuel, but strongly recommended also for engines that operate exclusively on marinediesel fuel.

The energy required for preheating of the HT cooling water can be supplied by a separatesource or by a running engine, often a combination of both. In all cases a separate circulatingpump must be used. It is common to use the heat from running auxiliary engines for preheatingof main engines. In installations with several main engines the capacity of the separate heatsource can be dimensioned for preheating of two engines, provided that this is acceptablefor the operation of the ship. If the cooling water circuits are separated from each other, theenergy is transferred over a heat exchanger.

9.3.4.1 Heater (4E05)The energy source of the heater can be electric power, steam or thermal oil.

It is recommended to heat the HT water to a temperature near the normal operatingtemperature. The heating power determines the required time to heat up the engine from coldcondition.

The minimum required heating power is 12 kW/cyl, which makes it possible to warm up theengine from 20 ºC to 60...70 ºC in 10-15 hours. The required heating power for shorter heatingtime can be estimated with the formula below. About 6 kW/cyl is required to keep a hot enginewarm.

10. Combustion Air System

10.1 Engine room ventilationTo maintain acceptable operating conditions for the engines and to ensure trouble free operationof all equipment, attention to shall be paid to the engine room ventilation and the supply ofcombustion air.

The air intakes to the engine room must be located and designed so that water spray, rainwater, dust and exhaust gases cannot enter the ventilation ducts and the engine room. Forthe minimum requirements concerning the engine room ventilation and more details, see theDual Fuel Safety Concept and applicable standards.

The amount of air required for ventilation is calculated from the total heat emission Φ toevacuate. To determine Φ, all heat sources shall be considered, e.g.:

● Main and auxiliary diesel engines

● Exhaust gas piping

● Generators

● Electric appliances and lighting

● Boilers

● Steam and condensate piping

● Tanks

It is recommended to consider an outside air temperature of no less than 35°C and atemperature rise of 11°C for the ventilation air.

The amount of air required for ventilation (note also that the earlier mentioned demand on 30air exchanges/hour has to be fulfilled) is then calculated using the formula:

where:

air flow [m³/s]qv =

total heat emission to be evacuated [kW]Φ =

air density 1.13 kg/m³ρ =

specific heat capacity of the ventilation air 1.01 kJ/kgKc =

temperature rise in the engine room [°C]ΔT =

The heat emitted by the engine is listed in chapter Technical data.

The engine room ventilation air has to be provided by separate ventilation fans. These fansshould preferably have two-speed electric motors (or variable speed). The ventilation can thenbe reduced according to outside air temperature and heat generation in the engine room, forexample during overhaul of the main engine when it is not preheated (and therefore not heatingthe room).

The ventilation air is to be equally distributed in the engine room considering air flows frompoints of delivery towards the exits. This is usually done so that the funnel serves as exit formost of the air. To avoid stagnant air, extractors can be used.

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016 10-1

10. Combustion Air SystemWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

It is good practice to provide areas with significant heat sources, such as separator roomswith their own air supply and extractors.

Under-cooling of the engine room should be avoided during all conditions (service conditions,slow steaming and in port). Cold draft in the engine room should also be avoided, especiallyin areas of frequent maintenance activities. For very cold conditions a pre-heater in the systemshould be considered. Suitable media could be thermal oil or water/glycol to avoid the riskfor freezing. If steam is specified as heating medium for the ship, the pre-heater should be ina secondary circuit.

10.2 Combustion air system designUsually, the combustion air is taken from the engine room through a filter on the turbocharger.This reduces the risk for too low temperatures and contamination of the combustion air. It isimportant that the combustion air is free from sea water, dust, fumes, etc.

For the required amount of combustion air, see section Technical data.

The combustion air shall be supplied by separate combustion air fans, with a capacity slightlyhigher than the maximum air consumption. The combustion air mass flow stated in technicaldata is defined for an ambient air temperature of 25°C. Calculate with an air densitycorresponding to 30°C or more when translating the mass flow into volume flow. The expressionbelow can be used to calculate the volume flow.

where:

combustion air volume flow [m³/s]qc =

combustion air mass flow [kg/s]m' =

air density 1.15 kg/m³ρ =

The fans should preferably have two-speed electric motors (or variable speed) for enhancedflexibility. In addition to manual control, the fan speed can be controlled by engine load.

In multi-engine installations each main engine should preferably have its own combustion airfan. Thus the air flow can be adapted to the number of engines in operation.

The combustion air should be delivered through a dedicated duct close to the turbocharger,directed towards the turbocharger air intake. The outlet of the duct should be equipped witha flap for controlling the direction and amount of air. Also other combustion air consumers,for example other engines, gas turbines and boilers shall be served by dedicated combustionair ducts.

If necessary, the combustion air duct can be connected directly to the turbocharger with aflexible connection piece. With this arrangement an external filter must be installed in the ductto protect the turbocharger and prevent fouling of the charge air cooler. The permissible totalpressure drop in the duct is max. 1.5 kPa. The duct should be provided with a step-lesschange-over flap to take the air from the engine room or from outside depending on engineload and air temperature.

For very cold conditions arctic setup is to be used. The combustion air fan is stopped duringstart of the engine and the necessary combustion air is drawn from the engine room. Afterstart either the ventilation air supply, or the combustion air supply, or both in combinationmust be able to maintain the minimum required combustion air temperature. The air supplyfrom the combustion air fan is to be directed away from the engine, when the intake air is cold,so that the air is allowed to heat up in the engine room.

The amount of condensed water can be estimated with the diagram below.

Example, according to the diagram:

At an ambient air temperature of 35°C and a relative humidity of80%, the content of water in the air is 0.029 kg water/ kg dry air.If the air manifold pressure (receiver pressure) under these condi-tions is 2.5 bar (= 3.5 bar absolute), the dew point will be 55°C.If the air temperature in the air manifold is only 45°C, the air canonly contain 0.018 kg/kg. The difference, 0.011 kg/kg (0.029 -0.018) will appear as condensed water.

11.3 External exhaust gas systemEach engine should have its own exhaust pipe into open air. Backpressure, thermal expansionand supporting are some of the decisive design factors.

Flexible bellows must be installed directly on the turbocharger outlet, to compensate forthermal expansion and prevent damages to the turbocharger due to vibrations.

11.3.1 System design - safety aspectsNatural gas may enter the exhaust system if a malfunction occurs during gas operation. Thegas may accumulate in the exhaust piping and it could be ignited in case a source of ignition(such as a spark) appears in the system. The external exhaust system must therefore bedesigned so that the pressure build-up in case of an explosion does not exceed the maximumpermissible pressure for any of the components in the system. The engine can tolerate apressure of at least 200 kPa. Other components in the system might have a lower maximumpressure limit. The consequences of a possible gas explosion can be minimized with properdesign of the exhaust system; the engine will not be damaged and the explosion gases willbe safely directed through predefined routes. The following guidelines should be observed,when designing the external exhaust system:

● The piping and all other components in the exhaust system should have a constant upwardslope to prevent gas from accumulating in the system. If horizontal pipe sections cannotbe completely avoided, their length should be kept to a minimum. The length of a singlehorizontal pipe section should not exceed five times the diameter of the pipe. Silencersand exhaust boilers etc. must be designed so that gas cannot accumulate inside.

● The exhaust system must be equipped with explosion relief devices, such as rupture discs,in order to ensure safe discharge of explosion pressure. The outlets from explosion reliefdevices must be in locations where the pressure can be safely released.

In addition the control and automation systems include the following safety functions:

● Before start the engine is automatically ventilated, i.e. rotated without injecting any fuel.

● During the start sequence, before activating the gas admission to the engine, an automaticcombustion check is performed to ensure that the pilot fuel injection system is workingcorrectly.

11-4 Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide11. Exhaust Gas System

● The combustion in all cylinders is continuously monitored and should it be detected thatall cylinders are not firing reliably, then the engine will automatically trip to diesel mode.

● The exhaust gas system is ventilated by a fan after the engine has stopped, if the enginewas operating in gas mode prior to the stop.

11.3.2 Exhaust gas ventilation unit (5N01)An exhaust gas ventilation system is required to purge the exhaust piping after the engine hasbeen stopped in gas mode. The exhaust gas ventilation system is a class requirement. Theventilation unit is to consist of a centrifugal fan, a flow switch and a butterfly valve with positionfeedback. The butterfly valve has to be of gas-tight design and able to withstand the maximumtemperature of the exhaust system at the location of installation.

The fan can be located inside or outside the engine room as close to the turbocharger aspossible. The exhaust gas ventilation sequence is automatically controlled by the GVU.

Fig 11-6 Exhaust gas ventilation arrangement (DAAF315146)

11.3.3 Relief devices - rupture discsExplosion relief devices such as rupture discs are to be installed in the exhaust system. Outletsare to discharge to a safe place remote from any source of ignition. The number and locationof explosion relief devices shall be such that the pressure rise caused by a possible explosioncannot cause any damage to the structure of the exhaust system.

This has to be verified with calculation or simulation. Explosion relief devices that are locatedindoors must have ducted outlets from the machinery space to a location where the pressurecan be safely released. The ducts shall be at least the same size as the rupture disc. The ductsshall be as straight as possible to minimize the back-pressure in case of an explosion.

For under-deck installation the rupture disc outlets may discharge into the exhaust casing,provided that the location of the outlets and the volume of the casing are suitable for handlingthe explosion pressure pulse safely. The outlets shall be positioned so that personnel are notpresent during normal operation, and the proximity of the outlet should be clearly marked asa hazardous area.

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016 11-5

11. Exhaust Gas SystemWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

11.3.4 PipingThe piping should be as short and straight as possible. Pipe bends and expansions shouldbe smooth to minimise the backpressure. The diameter of the exhaust pipe should be increaseddirectly after the bellows on the turbocharger. Pipe bends should be made with the largestpossible bending radius; the bending radius should not be smaller than 1.5 x D.

The recommended flow velocity in the pipe is maximum 35…40 m/s at full output. If there aremany resistance factors in the piping, or the pipe is very long, then the flow velocity needs tobe lower. The exhaust gas mass flow given in chapter Technical data can be translated tovelocity using the formula:

where:

gas velocity [m/s]v =

exhaust gas mass flow [kg/s]m' =

exhaust gas temperature [°C]T =

exhaust gas pipe diameter [m]D =

The exhaust pipe must be insulated with insulation material approved for concerned operationconditions, minimum thickness 30 mm considering the shape of engine mounted insulation.Insulation has to be continuous and protected by a covering plate or similar to keep theinsulation intact.

Closest to the turbocharger the insulation should consist of a hook on padding to facilitatemaintenance. It is especially important to prevent the airstream to the turbocharger fromdetaching insulation, which will clog the filters.

After the insulation work has been finished, it has to be verified that it fulfils SOLAS-regulations.Surface temperatures must be below 220°C on whole engine operating range.

11.3.5 SupportingIt is very important that the exhaust pipe is properly fixed to a support that is rigid in alldirections directly after the bellows on the turbocharger. There should be a fixing point onboth sides of the pipe at the support. The bellows on the turbocharger may not be used toabsorb thermal expansion from the exhaust pipe. The first fixing point must direct the thermalexpansion away from the engine. The following support must prevent the pipe from pivotingaround the first fixing point.

Absolutely rigid mounting between the pipe and the support is recommended at the first fixingpoint after the turbocharger. Resilient mounts can be accepted for resiliently mounted engineswith long bellows, provided that the mounts are self-captive; maximum deflection at totalfailure being less than 2 mm radial and 4 mm axial with regards to the bellows. The naturalfrequencies of the mounting should be on a safe distance from the running speed, the firingfrequency of the engine and the blade passing frequency of the propeller. The resilient mountscan be rubber mounts of conical type, or high damping stainless steel wire pads. Adequatethermal insulation must be provided to protect rubber mounts from high temperatures. Whenusing resilient mounting, the alignment of the exhaust bellows must be checked on a regularbasis and corrected when necessary.

After the first fixing point resilient mounts are recommended. The mounting supports shouldbe positioned at stiffened locations within the ship’s structure, e.g. deck levels, frame websor specially constructed supports.

11-6 Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide11. Exhaust Gas System

The supporting must allow thermal expansion and ship’s structural deflections.

11.3.6 Back pressureThe maximum permissible exhaust gas back pressure is stated in chapter Technical Data. Theback pressure in the system must be calculated by the shipyard based on the actual pipingdesign and the resistance of the components in the exhaust system. The exhaust gas massflow and temperature given in chapter Technical Data may be used for the calculation.

Each exhaust pipe should be provided with a connection for measurement of the back pressure.The back pressure must be measured by the shipyard during the sea trial.

11.3.7 Exhaust gas bellows (5H01, 5H03)Bellows must be used in the exhaust gas piping where thermal expansion or ship’s structuraldeflections have to be segregated. The flexible bellows mounted directly on the turbochargeroutlet serves to minimise the external forces on the turbocharger and thus prevent excessivevibrations and possible damage. All exhaust gas bellows must be of an approved type.

11.3.8 SCR-unit (11N14)The SCR-unit requires special arrangement on the engine in order to keep the exhaust gastemperature and backpressure into SCR-unit working range. The exhaust gas piping must bestraight at least 3...5 meters in front of the SCR unit. If both an exhaust gas boiler and a SCRunit will be installed, then the exhaust gas boiler shall be installed after the SCR. Arrangementsmust be made to ensure that water cannot spill down into the SCR, when the exhaust boileris cleaned with water.

More information about the SCR-unit can be found in the Wärtsilä Environmental ProductGuide.

In gas mode the SCR unit is not required as IMO Tier 3 is met.

11.3.9 Exhaust gas boilerIf exhaust gas boilers are installed, each engine should have a separate exhaust gas boiler.Alternatively, a common boiler with separate gas sections for each engine is acceptable.

For dimensioning the boiler, the exhaust gas quantities and temperatures given in chapterTechnical data may be used.

11.3.10 Exhaust gas silencer (5R09)The yard/designer should take into account that unfavorable layout of the exhaust system(length of straight parts in the exhaust system) might cause amplification of the exhaust noisebetween engine outlet and the silencer. Hence the attenuation of the silencer does not giveany absolute guarantee for the noise level after the silencer.

When included in the scope of supply, the standard silencer is of the absorption type, equippedwith a spark arrester. It is also provided with an explosion relief vent (option), a soot collectorand a condense drain, but it comes without mounting brackets and insulation. The silencershould be mounted vertically.

The noise attenuation of the standard silencer is either 25 or 35 dB(A).

12. Turbocharger Cleaning

Regular water cleaning of the turbine and the compressor reduces the formation of depositsand extends the time between overhauls. Fresh water is injected into the turbocharger duringoperation. Additives, solvents or salt water must not be used and the cleaning instructions inthe operation manual must be carefully followed.

Regular cleaning of the turbine is not necessary when operating on gas.

13. Exhaust Emissions

Exhaust emissions from the dual fuel engine mainly consist of nitrogen, carbon dioxide (CO2)and water vapour with smaller quantities of carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur oxides (SOx) andnitrogen oxides (NOx), partially reacted and non-combusted hydrocarbons and particulates.

13.1 Dual fuel engine exhaust componentsDue to the high efficiency and the clean fuel used in a dual fuel engine in gas mode, the exhaustgas emissions when running on gas are extremely low. In a dual fuel engine, the air-fuel ratiois very high, and uniform throughout the cylinders. Maximum temperatures and subsequentNOx formation are therefore low, since the same specific heat quantity released to combustionis used to heat up a large mass of air. Benefitting from this unique feature of the lean-burnprinciple, the NOx emissions from the Wärtsilä DF engine is very low, complying with mostexisting legislation. In gas mode most stringent emissions of IMO, EPA and SECA are met,while in diesel mode the dual fuel engine is a normal diesel engine.

To reach low emissions in gas operation, it is essential that the amount of injected diesel fuelis very small. The Wärtsilä DF engines therefore use a "micro-pilot" with less than 1% dieselfuel injected at nominal load. Thus the emissions of SOx from the dual fuel engine arenegligable. When the engine is in diesel operating mode, the emissions are in the same rangeas for any ordinary diesel engine, and the engine will be delivered with an EIAPP certificate toshow compliance with the MARPOL Annex VI.

13.2 Marine exhaust emissions legislation

13.2.1 International Maritime Organization (IMO)The increasing concern over the air pollution has resulted in the introduction of exhaustemission controls to the marine industry. To avoid the growth of uncoordinated regulations,the IMO (International Maritime Organization) has developed the Annex VI of MARPOL 73/78,which represents the first set of regulations on the marine exhaust emissions.

13.2.1.1 MARPOL Annex VI - Air PollutionThe MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI entered into force 19 May 2005. The Annex VI sets limits onNitrogen Oxides, Sulphur Oxides and Volatile Organic Compounds emissions from shipexhausts and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone depleting substances.

Nitrogen Oxides, NOx Emissions

The MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI regulation 13, Nitrogen Oxides, applies to diesel engines over130 kW installed on ships built (defined as date of keel laying or similar stage of construction)on or after January 1, 2000 and different levels (Tiers) of NOx control apply based on the shipconstruction date. The NOx emissions limit is expressed as dependent on engine speed. IMOhas developed a detailed NOx Technical Code which regulates the enforcement of these rules.

EIAPP Certification

An EIAPP (Engine International Air Pollution Prevention) Certificate is issued for each engineshowing that the engine complies with the NOx regulations set by the IMO.

When testing the engine for NOx emissions, the reference fuel is Marine Diesel Oil (distillate)and the test is performed according to ISO 8178 test cycles. Subsequently, the NOx value hasto be calculated using different weighting factors for different loads that have been correctedto ISO 8178 conditions. The used ISO 8178 test cycles are presented in the following table.

Engine family/group

As engine manufacturers have a variety of engines ranging in size and application, the NOxTechnical Code allows the organising of engines into families or groups. By definition, anengine family is a manufacturer’s grouping, which through their design, are expected to havesimilar exhaust emissions characteristics i.e., their basic design parameters are common.When testing an engine family, the engine which is expected to develop the worst emissionsis selected for testing. The engine family is represented by the parent engine, and thecertification emission testing is only necessary for the parent engine. Further engines can becertified by checking document, component, setting etc., which have to show correspondencewith those of the parent engine.

Technical file

According to the IMO regulations, a Technical File shall be made for each engine. The TechnicalFile contains information about the components affecting NOx emissions, and each criticalcomponent is marked with a special IMO number. The allowable setting values and parametersfor running the engine are also specified in the Technical File. The EIAPP certificate is part ofthe IAPP (International Air Pollution Prevention) Certificate for the whole ship.

IMO NOx emission standards

The first IMO Tier 1 NOx emission standard entered into force in 2005 and applies to marinediesel engines installed in ships constructed on or after 1.1.2000 and prior to 1.1.2011.

The Marpol Annex VI and the NOx Technical Code were later undertaken a review with theintention to further reduce emissions from ships and a final adoption for IMO Tier 2 and Tier3 standards were taken in October 2008.

The IMO Tier 2 NOx standard entered into force 1.1.2011 and replaced the IMO Tier 1 NOxemission standard globally. The Tier 2 NOx standard applies for marine diesel engines installedin ships constructed on or after 1.1.2011.

13-2 Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide13. Exhaust Emissions

The IMO Tier 3 NOx emission standard effective date starts from year 2016. The Tier 3 standardwill apply in designated emission control areas (ECA). The ECAs are to be defined by the IMO.So far, the North American ECA and the US Caribbean Sea ECA have been defined and willbe effective for marine diesel engines installed in ships constructed on or after 1.1.2016. Forother ECAs which might be designated in the future for Tier 3 NOx control, the entry into forcedate would apply to ships constructed on or after the date of adoption by the MEPC of suchan ECA, or a later date as may be specified separately. The IMO Tier 2 NOx emission standardwill apply outside the Tier 3 designated areas.

The NOx emissions limits in the IMO standards are expressed as dependent on engine speed.These are shown in the following figure.

Fig 13-1 IMO NOx emission limits

IMO Tier 2 NOx emission standard (new ships 2011)

The IMO Tier 2 NOx emission standard entered into force in 1.1.2011 and applies globally fornew marine diesel engines > 130 kW installed in ships which keel laying date is 1.1.2011 orlater.

The IMO Tier 2 NOx limit is defined as follows:

= 44 x rpm-0.23 when 130 < rpm < 2000NOx [g/kWh]

The NOx level is a weighted average of NOx emissions at different loads, and the test cycle isbased on the engine operating profile according to ISO 8178 test cycles. The IMO Tier 2 NOxlevel is met by engine internal methods.

IMO Tier 3 NOx emission standard (new ships from 2016 in ECAs)

The IMO Tier 3 NOx emission standard will enter into force from year 2016. It will by then applyfor new marine diesel engines > 130 kW installed in ships which keel laying date is 1.1.2016or later when operating inside the North American ECA and the US Caribbean Sea ECA.

The IMO Tier 3 NOx limit is defined as follows:

= 9 x rpm-0.2 when 130 < rpm < 2000NOx [g/kWh]

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016 13-3

13. Exhaust EmissionsWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

The IMO Tier 3 NOx emission level corresponds to an 80% reduction from the IMO Tier 2 NOxemission standard. The reduction can be reached by applying a secondary exhaust gasemission control system. A Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system is an efficient way fordiesel engines to reach the NOx reduction needed for the IMO Tier 3 standard.

If the Wärtsilä NOx Reducer SCR system is installed together with the engine, the engine +SCR installation complies with the maximum permissible NOx emission according to the IMOTier 3 NOx emission standard and the Tier 3 EIAPP certificate will be delivered for the completeinstallation.

NOTE

The Dual Fuel engines fulfil the IMO Tier 3 NOx emission level as standard in gasmode operation without the need of a secondary exhaust gas emission controlsystem.

Sulphur Oxides, SOx emissions

Marpol Annex VI has set a maximum global fuel sulphur limit of currently 3,5% (from 1.1.2012)in weight for any fuel used on board a ship. Annex VI also contains provisions allowing forspecial SOx Emission Control Areas (SECA) to be established with more stringent controls onsulphur emissions. In a SECA, which currently comprises the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, theEnglish Channel, the US Caribbean Sea and the area outside North America (200 nauticalmiles), the sulphur content of fuel oil used onboard a ship must currently not exceed 0,1 %in weight.

The Marpol Annex VI has undertaken a review with the intention to further reduce emissionsfrom ships. The current and upcoming limits for fuel oil sulphur contents are presented in thefollowing table.

Table 13-2 Fuel sulphur caps

Date of implementationAreaFuel sulphur cap

Abatement technologies including scrubbers are allowed as alternatives to low sulphur fuels.The exhaust gas system can be applied to reduce the total emissions of sulphur oxides fromships, including both auxiliary and main propulsion engines, calculated as the total weight ofsulphur dioxide emissions.

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide13. Exhaust Emissions

13.2.2 Other LegislationsThere are also other local legislations in force in particular regions.

13.3 Methods to reduce exhaust emissionsAll standard Wärtsilä engines meet the NOx emission level set by the IMO (International MaritimeOrganisation) and most of the local emission levels without any modifications. Wärtsilä hasalso developed solutions to significantly reduce NOx emissions when this is required.

Diesel engine exhaust emissions can be reduced either with primary or secondary methods.The primary methods limit the formation of specific emissions during the combustion process.The secondary methods reduce emission components after formation as they pass throughthe exhaust gas system.

For dual fuel engines same methods as mentioned above can be used to reduce exhaustemissions when running in diesel mode. In gas mode there is no need for scrubber or SCR.

In addition, engine control and safety system or the blackout detection system can force theengine to run in backup operating mode (conventional diesel fuel injection only).

It is possible to transfer a running engine from gas- into diesel operating mode. Below a certainload limit the engine can be transferred from diesel- into gas operating mode. The engine will

14. Automation SystemWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

automatically trip from gas- into diesel operating mode (gas trip) in several alarm situations.Request for diesel operating mode will always override request for gas operating mode.

The engine control system automatically forces the engine to backup operating mode(regardless of operator choice of operating mode) in two cases:

● Pilot fuel injection system related fault is detected (pilot trip)

● Engine is started while the blackout start mode signal (from external source) is active

Fig 14-6 Principle of engine operating modes

14.2.2 Start

14.2.2.1 Start blockingStarting is inhibited by the following functions:

● Stop lever in stop position

● Turning device engaged

● Pre-lubricating pressure low (override if black-out input is high and within last 30 minutesafter the pressure has dropped below the set point of 0.5 bar)

● Stop signal to engine activated (safety shut-down, emergency stop, normal stop)

● External start block active

● Exhaust gas ventilation not performed

● HFO selected or fuel oil temperature > 70°C (Gas mode only)

● Charge air shut-off valve closed (optional device)

14.2.2.2 Start in gas operating modeIf the engine is ready to start in gas operating mode the output signals "engine ready for gasoperation" (no gas trips are active) and "engine ready for start" (no start blockings are active)are activated. In gas operating mode the following tasks are performed automatically:

● A GVU gas leakage test

● The starting air is activated

● Pilot fuel injection and pilot fuel pressure control is enabled

14-8 Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide14. Automation System

● A combustion check (verify that all cylinders are firing)

● Gas admission is started and engine speed is raised to nominal

The start mode is interrupted in case of abnormalities during the start sequence. The startsequence takes about 1.5 minutes to complete.

14.2.2.3 Start in diesel operating modeWhen starting an engine in diesel operating mode the GVU check is omitted. The pilotcombustion check is performed to ensure correct functioning of the pilot fuel injection in orderto enable later transfer into gas operating mode. The start sequence takes about one minuteto complete.

14.2.2.4 Start in blackout modeWhen the blackout signal is active, the engine will be started in backup operating mode. Thestart is performed similarly to a conventional diesel engine, i.e. after receiving start signal theengine will start and ramp up to nominal speed using only the conventional diesel fuel system.The blackout signal disables some of the start blocks to get the engine running as quickly aspossible. All checks during start-up that are related to gas fuel system or pilot fuel system areomitted. Therefore the engine is not able to transfer from backup operating mode to gas- ordiesel operating mode before the gas and pilot system related safety measures have beenperformed. This is done by stopping the engine and re-starting it in diesel- or gas operatingmode.

After the blackout situation is over (i.e. when the first engine is started in backup operatingmode, connected to switchboard, loaded, and consequently blackout-signal cleared), moreengines should be started, and the one running in backup mode stopped and re-started ingas- or diesel operating mode.

14.2.3 Gas/diesel transfer control

14.2.3.1 Transfer from gas- to diesel-operating modeThe engine will transfer from gas to diesel operating mode at any load within 1s. This can beinitiated in three different ways: manually, by the engine control system or by the gas safetysystem (gas operation mode blocked).

14.2.3.2 Transfer from diesel- to gas-operating modeThe engine can be transferred to gas at engine load below 80% in case no gas trips are active,no pilot trip has occurred and the engine was not started in backup operating mode (excludingcombustion check).

Fuel transfers to gas usually takes about 2 minutes to complete, in order to minimizedisturbances to the gas fuel supply systems.

The engine can run in backup operating mode in case the engine has been started with theblackout start input active or a pilot trip has occurred. A transfer to gas operating mode canonly be done after a combustion check, which is done by restarting the engine.

A leakage test on the GVU is automatically done before each gas transfer.

Fig 14-7 Operating modes are load dependent

14.2.3.3 Points for consideration when selecting fuelsWhen selecting the fuel operating mode for the engine, or before transferring between operatingmodes, the operator should consider the following:

● To prevent an overload of the gas supply system, transfer one engine at a time to gasoperating mode

● Before a transfer command to gas operating mode is given to an engine, the PMS oroperator must ensure that the other engines have enough ‘spinning reserve’ during thetransfers. This because the engine may need to be unloaded below the upper transfer limitbefore transferring

● If engine load is within the transfer window, the engine will be able to switch fuels withoutunloading

● Whilst an engine is transferring, the starting and stopping of heavy electric consumersshould be avoided

14.2.4 Stop, shutdown and emergency stop

14.2.4.1 Stop modeBefore stopping the engine, the control system shall first unload the engine slowly (if the engineis loaded), and after that open the generator breaker and send a stop signal to the engine.

Immediately after the engine stop signal is activated in gas operating mode, the GVU performsgas shut-off and ventilation. The pilot injection is active during the first part of the decelerationin order to ensure that all gas remaining in engine is burned.

In case the engine has been running on gas within two minutes prior to the stop the exhaustgas system is ventilated to discharge any unburned gas.

14.2.4.2 Shutdown modeShutdown mode is initiated automatically as a response to measurement signals.

In shutdown mode the clutch/generator breaker is opened immediately without unloading.The actions following a shutdown are similar to normal engine stop.

Shutdown mode must be reset by the operator and the reason for shutdown must beinvestigated and corrected before re-start.

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide14. Automation System

14.2.4.3 Emergency stop modeThe sequence of engine stopping in emergency stop mode is similar to shutdown mode,except that also the pilot fuel injection is de-activated immediately upon stop signal.

Emergency stop is the fastest way of manually shutting down the engine. In case the emergencystop push-button is pressed, the button is automatically locked in pressed position.

To return to normal operation the push button must be pulled out and alarms acknowledged.

14.2.5 Speed control

14.2.5.1 Main engines (mechanical propulsion)The electronic speed control is integrated in the engine automation system.

The remote speed setting from the propulsion control is an analogue 4-20 mA signal. It is alsopossible to select an operating mode in which the speed reference can be adjusted withincrease/decrease signals.

The electronic speed control handles load sharing between parallel engines, fuel limiters, andvarious other control functions (e.g. ready to open/close clutch, speed filtering). Overloadprotection and control of the load increase rate must however be included in the propulsioncontrol as described in the chapter "Operating ranges".

For single main engines a fuel rack actuator with a mechanical-hydraulic backup governor isspecified. Mechanical back-up can also be specified for twin screw vessels with one engineper propeller shaft. Mechanical back-up is not an option in installations with two enginesconnected to the same reduction gear.

14.2.5.2 Generating setsThe electronic speed control is integrated in the engine automation system.

The load sharing can be based on traditional speed droop, or handled independently by thespeed control units without speed droop. The later load sharing principle is commonly referredto as isochronous load sharing. With isochronous load sharing there is no need for loadbalancing, frequency adjustment, or generator loading/unloading control in the external controlsystem.

In a speed droop system each individual speed control unit decreases its internal speedreference when it senses increased load on the generator. Decreased network frequency withhigher system load causes all generators to take on a proportional share of the increased totalload. Engines with the same speed droop and speed reference will share load equally. Loadingand unloading of a generator is accomplished by adjusting the speed reference of the individualspeed control unit. The speed droop is normally 4%, which means that the difference infrequency between zero load and maximum load is 4%.

In isochronous mode the speed reference remains constant regardless of load level. Bothisochronous load sharing and traditional speed droop are standard features in the speedcontrol and either mode can be easily selected. If the ship has several switchboard sectionswith tie breakers between the different sections, then the status of each tie breaker is requiredfor control of the load sharing in isochronous mode.

14.3 Alarm and monitoring signalsRegarding sensors on the engine, please see the internal P&I diagrams in this product guide.The actual configuration of signals and the alarm levels are found in the project specificdocumentation supplied for all contracted projects.

14.4.1 Motor starters and operation of electrically driven pumpsMotor starters are not part of the control system supplied with the engine, but available asoptional delivery items.

14.4.1.1 Pre-lubricating oil pumpThe pre-lubricating oil pump must always be running when the engine is stopped. The pumpshall start when the engine stops, and stop when the engine starts. The engine control systemhandles start/stop of the pump automatically via a motor starter.

It is recommended to arrange a back-up power supply from an emergency power source.Diesel generators serving as the main source of electrical power must be able to resume theiroperation in a black out situation by means of stored energy. Depending on system designand classification regulations, it may be permissible to use the emergency generator.

15. Foundation

Engines can be either rigidly mounted on chocks, or resiliently mounted on steel springelements. If resilient mounting is considered, Wärtsilä must be informed about existingexcitations such as propeller blade passing frequency. Dynamic forces caused by the engineare listed in the chapter Vibration and noise.

15.1 Steel structure designThe system oil tank should not extend under the reduction gear or generator, if the oil tank islocated beneath the engine foundation. Neither should the tank extend under the supportbearing, in case there is a PTO arrangement in the free end. The oil tank must also besymmetrically located in transverse direction under the engine.

The foundation and the double bottom should be as stiff as possible in all directions to absorbthe dynamic forces caused by the engine, reduction gear and thrust bearing.

The foundation should be dimensioned and designed so that harmful deformations are avoided.

The foundation of the driven equipment should be integrated with the engine foundation.

15.2 Engine mountingThe mounting arrangement is similar for diesel electric installations and conventional propulsion.

15.2.1 Rigid mountingEngines can be rigidly mounted to the foundation either on steel chocks or resin chocks.

The holding down bolts are through-bolts with a lock nut at the lower end and a hydraulicallytightened nut at the upper end. The tool included in the standard set of engine tools is usedfor hydraulic tightening of the holding down bolts. Bolts number two and three from the flywheelend on each side of the engine are to be Ø46 H7/n6 fitted bolts. The rest of the holding downbolts are clearance bolts.

A distance sleeve should be used together with the fitted bolts. The distance sleeve must bemounted between the seating top plate and the lower nut in order to provide a sufficientguiding length for the fitted bolt in the seating top plate. The guiding length in the seating topplate should be at least equal to the bolt diameter.

The design of the holding down bolts appear from the foundation drawing. It is recommendedthat the bolts are made from a high-strength steel, e.g. 42CrMo4 or similar. A high strengthmaterial makes it possible to use a higher bolt tension, which results in a larger bolt elongation(strain). A large bolt elongation improves the safety against loosening of the nuts.

To avoid a gradual reduction of tightening tension due to unevenness in threads, the threadsshould be machined to a finer tolerance than normal threads. The bolt thread must fulfiltolerance 6g and the nut thread must fulfil tolerance 6H. In order to avoid bending stress inthe bolts and to ensure proper fastening, the contact face of the nut underneath the seatingtop plate should be counterbored.

Lateral supports must be installed for all engines. One pair of supports should be located atthe free end and one pair (at least) near the middle of the engine. The lateral supports are tobe welded to the seating top plate before fitting the chocks. The wedges in the supports areto be installed without clearance, when the engine has reached normal operating temperature.The wedges are then to be secured in position with welds. An acceptable contact surfacemust be obtained on the wedges of the supports.

Wärtsilä 46DF Product Guide - a3 - 4 November 2016 15-1

15. FoundationWärtsilä 46DF Product Guide

15.2.1.1 Resin chocksThe recommended dimensions of the resin chocks are 600 x 180 mm. The total surfacepressure on the resin must not exceed the maximum value, which is determined by the typeof resin and the requirements of the classification society.

It is recommended to select a resin type that is approved by the relevant classification societyfor a total surface pressure of 5 N/mm2. (A typical conservative value is Ptot 3.5 N/mm2 ).

During normal conditions, the support face of the engine feet has a maximum temperature ofabout 75°C, which should be considered when selecting the type of resin.

The bolts must be made as tensile bolts with a reduced shank diameter to ensure a sufficientelongation since the bolt force is limited by the permissible surface pressure on the resin. Fora given bolt diameter the permissible bolt tension is limited either by the strength of the boltmaterial (max. stress 80% of the yield strength), or by the maximum permissible surfacepressure on the resin.

Locking of the upper nuts is required when the total surface pressure on the resin chocks isbelow 4 MPa with the recommended chock dimensions. The lower nuts should always belocked regardless of the bolt tension.

15.2.1.2 Steel chocksThe top plates of the engine girders are normally inclined outwards with regard to the centreline of the engine. The inclination of the supporting surface should be 1/100. The seating topplate should be designed so that the wedge-type steel chocks can easily be fitted into theirpositions. The wedge-type chocks also have an inclination of 1/100 to match the inclinationof the seating. If the top plate of the engine girder is fully horizontal, a chock is welded to eachpoint of support. The chocks should be welded around the periphery as well as through holesdrilled for this purpose at regular intervals to avoid possible relative movement in the surfacelayer. The welded chocks are then face-milled to an inclination of 1/100. The surfaces of thewelded chocks should be large enough to fully cover the wedge-type chocks.

The supporting surface of the seating top plate should be machined so that a bearing surfaceof at least 75% is obtained. The chock should be fitted so that they are approximately equallyinserted under the engine on both sides.

The chocks should always cover two bolts, except the chock closest to the flywheel, whichaccommodates only one bolt. Steel is preferred, but cast iron chocks are also accepted.

Holes are to be drilled and reamed to the correct tolerance for the fitted bolts after the couplingalignment has been checked and the chocks have been lightly knocked into position.

15.2.1.3 Steel chocks with adjustable heightAs an alternative to resin chocks or conventional steel chocks it is also permitted to install theengine on adjustable steel chocks. The chock height is adjustable between 45 mm and 65mm for the approved type of chock. There must be a chock of adequate size at the positionof each holding down bolt.

15.2.2 Resilient mountingIn order to reduce vibrations and structure borne noise, engines can be resiliently mountedon steel spring elements. The transmission of forces emitted by the engine is 10-20% whenusing resilient mounting. Typical structure borne noise levels can be found in chapter 17.

The resilient elements consist of an upper steel plate fastened directly to the engine, verticalsteel springs, and a lower steel plate fastened to the foundation. Resin chocks are cast underthe lower steel plate after final alignment adjustments and drilling of the holes for the fasteningscrews. The steel spring elements are compressed to the calculated height under load andlocked in position on delivery. Compression screws and distance pieces between the twosteel plates are used for this purpose.

Rubber elements are used in the transverse and longitudinal buffers. Steel chocks must beused under the horizontal buffers.

The speed range is limited to 450-600 rpm for resiliently mounted 8L46DF engines. For othercylinder configurations a speed range of 400-600 rpm is generally available.

15.2.2.1 Flexible pipe connectionsWhen the engine is resiliently mounted, all connections must be flexible and no grating norladders may be fixed to the engine. Especially the connection to the turbocharger must bearranged so that the above mentioned displacements can be absorbed, without large forceson the turbocharger.

Proper fixing of pipes next to flexible pipe connections is not less important for resilientlymounted engines. See the chapter Piping design, treatment and installation for more detailedinformation.

17. Power Transmission

17.1 Flexible couplingThe power transmission of propulsion engines is accomplished through a flexible coupling ora combined flexible coupling and clutch mounted on the flywheel. The crankshaft is equippedwith an additional shield bearing at the flywheel end. Therefore also a rather heavy couplingcan be mounted on the flywheel without intermediate bearings.

The type of flexible coupling to be used has to be decided separately in each case on thebasis of the torsional vibration calculations.

In case of two bearing type generator installations a flexible coupling between the engine andthe generator is required.

17.2 ClutchIn dual fuel engine installations with mechanical drive, it must be possible to disconnect thepropeller shaft from the engine by using a clutch. The use of multiple plate hydraulicallyactuated clutches built into the reduction gear is recommended.

A clutch is also required when two or more engines are connected to the same driven machinerysuch as a reduction gear.

To permit maintenance of a stopped engine clutches must be installed in twin screw vesselswhich can operate on one shaft line only.

17.3 Shaft locking deviceA shaft locking device should also be fitted to be able to secure the propeller shaft in positionso that wind milling is avoided. This is necessary because even an open hydraulic clutch cantransmit some torque. Wind milling at a low propeller speed (<10 rpm) can due to poorlubrication cause excessive wear of the bearings.

The shaft locking device can be either a bracket and key or an easier to use brake disc withcalipers. In both cases a stiff and strong support to the ship’s construction must be provided.

18.2 Space requirements for maintenance

18.2.1 Working space around the engineThe required working space around the engine is mainly determined by the dismountingdimensions of engine components, and space requirement of some special tools. It is especiallyimportant that no obstructive structures are built next to engine driven pumps, as well ascamshaft and crankcase doors.

However, also at locations where no space is required for dismounting of engine parts, aminimum of 1000 mm free space is recommended for maintenance operations everywherearound the engine.

18.2.2 Engine room height and lifting equipmentThe required engine room height is determined by the transportation routes for engine parts.If there is sufficient space in transverse and longitudinal direction, there is no need to transportengine parts over the rocker arm covers or over the exhaust pipe and in such case thenecessary height is minimized.

Separate lifting arrangements are usually required for overhaul of the turbocharger since thecrane travel is limited by the exhaust pipe. A chain block on a rail located over the turbochargeraxis is recommended.

18.2.3 Maintenance platformsIn order to enable efficient maintenance work on the engine, it is advised to build themaintenance platforms on recommended elevations. The width of the platforms should be atminimum 800 mm to allow adequate working space. The surface of maintenance platformsshould be of non-slippery material (grating or chequer plate).

NOTE

Working Platforms should be designed and positioned to prevent personnel slipping,tripping or falling on or between the walkways and the engine

Fig 18-6 Maintenance platforms, V-engine (3V69C0244)

18.3 Transportation and storage of spare parts and toolsTransportation arrangements from engine room to workshop and storage locations must beprovided for heavy engine components, for example by means of several chain blocks onrails, or by suitable routes for trolleys.

The engine room maintenance hatch must be large enough to allow transportation of all maincomponents to/from the engine room.

It is recommended to store heavy engine components on a slightly elevated and adaptablesurface, e.g. wooden pallets. All engine spare parts should be protected from corrosion andexcessive vibration.

18.4 Required deck area for service workDuring engine overhaul a free deck area is required for cleaning and storing dismantledcomponents. The size of the service area depends on the overhaul strategy , e.g. one cylinderat time or the whole engine at time. The service area should be a plain steel deck dimensionedto carry the weight of engine parts.
