Engine optimisation
The ever valid requirement of ship operators is to obtain the lowest total oper-
ational costs, and especially the lowest possible specific fuel oil consumption
at any load, and under the prevailing operating conditions.
However, low-speed two-stroke main engines of the MC-C type, with a chain
driven camshaft, have limited flexibility with regard to fuel injection and ex-
haust valve activation, which are the two most important factors in adjusting
the engine to match the prevailing operating conditions.
A system with electronically controlled hydraulic activation provides the re-
quired flexibility, and such systems form the core of the ME Engine Control
System, described later in detail in Chapter 16.
Concept of the ME Engine

The ME engine concept consists of a hydraulic mechanical system for activa-
tion of the fuel injection and the exhaust valves. The actuators are electronic-
ally controlled by a number of control units forming the complete engine con-
trol system.
MAN Energy Solutions has specifically developed both the hardware and the
software in-house, in order to obtain an integrated solution for the engine con-
trol system.
The fuel pressure booster consists of a simple plunger powered by a hydraulic
piston activated by oil pressure. The oil pressure is controlled by an electron-
ically controlled proportional valve.
The exhaust valve is opened hydraulically by means of a two-stroke exhaust
valve actuator activated by the control oil from an electronically controlled pro-
portional valve. The exhaust valves are closed by the ‘air spring’.
In the hydraulic system, the normal lube oil is used as the medium. It is filtered
and pressurised by a hydraulic power supply unit mounted on the engine or
placed in the engine room.
The starting valves are opened pneumatically by electronically controlled ‘On/
Off’ valves, which make it possible to dispense with the mechanically activ-
ated starting air distributor.
By electronic control of the fuel injection and exhaust valves according to the
measured instantaneous crankshaft position, the Engine Control System fully
controls the combustion process.
System flexibility is obtained by means of different ‘Engine running modes’,
1.01 Engine optimisation
which are selected either automatically, depending on the operating condi-

tions, or manually by the operator to meet specific goals. The basic running
2022-02-11 - en
mode is ‘Fuel economy mode’ to comply with IMO NOx emission limitation.
Engine Design and IMO Regulation Compliance

The ME-C engine is the shorter, more compact version of the ME engine. It is
well suited wherever a small engine room is requested, for instance in con-
tainer vessels.
For MAN B&W ME/ME-C-TII designated engines, the design and performance
parameters comply with the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Tier II
emission regulations.
95-35ME-C 1 (2)
199 15 41-9.0 MAN Energy Solutions
For engines built to comply with IMO Tier I emission regulations, please refer
to the Marine Engine IMO Tier I Project Guide.
Tier II Fuel Optimisation

NOx regulations place a limit on the SFOC on two-stroke engines. In general,
NOx emissions will increase if SFOC is decreased and vice versa. In the stand-
ard configuration, MAN B&W engines are optimised close to the IMO NOx limit
and, therefore, NOx emissions cannot be further increased.
The IMO NOx limit is given as a weighted average of the NOx emission at 25,
50, 75 and 100% load. This relationship can be utilised to tilt the SFOC profile
over the load range. This means that SFOC can be reduced at part load or
low load at the expense of a higher SFOC in the high-load range without ex-
ceeding the IMO NOx limit.
Optimisation of SFOC in the part-load (50-85%) or low-load (25-70%) range
requires selection of a tuning method:
• EGB: Exhaust Gas Bypass

• HPT: High Pressure Tuning (on request and only for ME-C).
Each tuning method makes it possible to optimise the fuel consumption when
normally operating at low loads, while maintaining the possibility of operating
at high load when needed.
The tuning methods are available for all SMCR in the specific engine layout
diagram but they cannot be combined. The specific SFOC reduction poten-
tials of the EGB tuning method in part- and low-load are shown in Section
1.03.
For engine types 40 and smaller, as well as for larger types with conventional
turbochargers, only high-load optimisation is applicable.
In general, data in this project guide is based on high-load optimisation unless
explicitly noted. For part- and low-load optimisation, calculations can be made
in the CEAS application described in Section 20.02.

Engine power range and fuel oil consumption
Engine Power
The following tables contain data regarding the power, speed and specific fuel
oil consumption of the engine.
Engine power is specified in kW for each cylinder number and layout points
L1, L2, L3 and L4.
Discrepancies between kW and metric horsepower (1 BHP = 75 kpm/s =
0.7355 kW) are a consequence of the rounding off of the BHP values.
L1 designates nominal maximum continuous rating (nominal MCR), at 100%
engine power and 100% engine speed.
L2, L3 and L4 designate layout points at the other three corners of the layout
area, chosen for easy reference.
1.04 Engine power range and fuel oil consumption

Fig. 1.04.01: Layout diagram for engine power and speed
Overload corresponds to 110% of the power at MCR, and may be permitted

for a limited period of one hour every 12 hours.
The engine power figures given in the tables remain valid up to tropical condi-
tions at sea level as stated in IACS M28 (1978), i.e.:
Blower inlet temperature ................................ 45°C
Blower inlet pressure ............................1,000 mbar

Specific Fuel Oil Consumption (SFOC)

The figures given in this folder represent the values obtained when the engine
and turbocharger are matched with a view to obtaining the lowest possible
SFOC values while also fulfilling the IMO NOX Tier II emission limitations.
Stricter emission limits can be met on request, using proven technologies.
The SFOC figures are given in g/kWh with a tolerance of 5% (at 100% SMCR)
and are based on the use of fuel with a lower calorific value of 42,700 kJ/kg
(~10,200 kcal/kg) at ISO conditions:
MC/MC-C, ME/ME-C/ME-B 1 (2)

Ambient air pressure .............................1,000 mbar

Ambient air temperature ................................ 25°C
Cooling water temperature ............................ 25°C
Although the engine will develop the power specified up to tropical ambient
conditions, specific fuel oil consumption varies with ambient conditions and
fuel oil lower calorific value. For calculation of these changes, see Chapter 2.
Lubricating Oil Data

The cylinder oil consumption figures stated in the tables are valid under nor-
mal conditions.
During running-in periods and under special conditions, feed rates of up to
1.5 times the stated values should be used.

ME Engine description
General
Engines built by MAN Energy Solutions' licensees are in accordance with our
drawings and standards. In certain cases, local standards may be applied but
all spare parts are interchangeable with parts designed by MAN Energy Solu-
tions.
Some components may differ from MAN Energy Solutions’ design because of
local production facilities, or the application of local standard components.
In the following, reference is made to item numbers specified in ‘Extent of De-
livery’ (EoD) forms, both for ‘Basic’ delivery and for some ‘Options’.
Bedplate and main bearing

The bedplate consists of high welded longitudinal girders and welded cross
girders with cast steel bearing supports. Long elastic holding-down bolts and
hydraulic tightening tools are used to fit the bedplate to the engine seating in
the ship. The bedplate is made with the thrust bearing in the aft end.
For engines mounted on epoxy chocks, the bedplate is made without taper.
An oil pan made of steel plate is welded to the bedplate. The oil pan, collects
return oil from the forced lubricating and cooling oil system. Oil outlets from
the oil pan are vertical as standard and provided with gratings.
The main bearings consist of thin-walled steel shells lined with white metal.
The main bearing bottom shell can be rotated out and in with special tools
and hydraulic tools for lifting the crankshaft. A bearing cap keeps the shells in
position.
Frame box
The frame box is welded. On the exhaust side of the frame box, a relief valve
is mounted for each cylinder. On the manoeuvring side, each cylinder has a
large hinged door. Crosshead guides are welded onto the frame box. The
frame box is bolted to the bedplate. Stay bolts tighten together bedplate,
frame box, and cylinder frame.
The framebox is of the well-proven triangular guide-plane design with twin
staybolts giving excellent support for the guide shoe forces.
1.06 ME Engine description
Cylinder frame and stuffing box

2024-03-20 - en
For the cylinder frame, two possibilities are available:

▪ Nodular cast iron
▪ Welded design with integrated scavenge air receiver.
The cylinder frame has access covers for cleaning the scavenge air space, if
required, and for inspection of scavenge ports and piston rings from the man-
oeuvring side. The cylinder frame and cylinder liner forms the scavenge air
space.
G95, G/S80-60ME-C10.7/.5 1 (8)

The cylinder frame is fitted with pipes for the piston cooling oil inlet. The scav-
enge air receiver, turbocharger, air cooler box, and gallery brackets are placed
on the cylinder frame. The bottom of the cylinder frame contains the piston
rod stuffing box with sealing rings for scavenge air, and oil scraper rings pre-
venting crankcase oil from entering the scavenge air space.
Scavenge air space and piston rod stuffing box drains are located in the bot-
tom of the cylinder frame.
Cylinder liner
The cylinder liner is made of alloyed cast iron and is suspended in the cylinder
frame with a low-situated flange. The top of the cylinder liner is fitted with a
cooling jacket. The cylinder liner has scavenge ports and drilled holes for cyl-
inder lubrication.
On engines type 95-80, the basic design includes cylinder liners prepared for
installation of temperature sensors. On all other engines, this type of liner is
available as an option.
Cylinder cover
The cylinder cover of forged steel is made in one piece with bores for cooling
water. It has a central bore for the exhaust valve, bores for fuel valves, a start-
ing valve and an indicator valve.
The cylinder cover is attached to the cylinder frame with studs and nuts
tightened with hydraulic jacks.
Crankshaft
The crankshaft is of the semi-built type made from forged or cast steel
throws. Depending on the number of cylinders, the crankshaft may be sup-
plied in two parts.
At the aft end, the crankshaft is provided with:
▪ a collar for the thrust bearing
▪ a flange for fitting the gear wheel for the step-up gear to the hydraulic
power supply unit
▪ a flange for the turning wheel and for the coupling bolts to an intermediate
shaft.
At the front end, the crankshaft is fitted with a collar for the axial vibration
damper and a flange for fitting a tuning wheel. The flange can also be used for
power take off.
2024-03-20 - en
Coupling bolts and nuts for joining the crankshaft together with the intermedi-
ate shaft are not normally supplied.
Thrust bearing
The propeller thrust is transferred through thrust collar, segments, and bed-
plate to end chocks and engine seating, and to the ship’s hull.
A thrust bearing of the B&W-Michell type is located in the aft end of the en-
gine. It consists primarily of a thrust collar on the crankshaft, bearing support,
and segments of steel lined with white metal.
2 (8) G95, G/S80-60ME-C10.7/.5

Engines with nine cylinders or more are specified with a 360-degree type
thrust bearing, while a 240-degree type is used for all other engines. The flex-
ible thrust cam design of MAN Energy Solutions' is used for the thrust collar
on a range of engine types.
The thrust shaft is an integrated part of the crankshaft, and it is lubricated by
the engine’s lubricating oil system.
Step-up gear
For a mechanically engine-driven hydraulic power supply, the crankshaft
drives the main hydraulic oil pumps via a step-up gear. The main engine lub-
ricating oil system lubricates the step-up gear.
Turning gear and turning wheel

The turning wheel is fitted to the thrust shaft, and it is driven by a pinion on the
terminal shaft of the turning gear arrangement mounted on the bedplate. The
turning gear is driven by an electric motor with a built-in brake.
A blocking device prevents the main engine from starting when the turning
gear is engaged. Engagement and disengagement of the turning gear is done
manually by moving the pinion.
The basic design includes a control device for the turning gear, consisting of
starter and manual control box.
Axial vibration damper

The engine is fitted with an axial vibration damper mounted on the fore-end of
the crankshaft. The damper consists of a piston and a split-type housing loc-
ated forward of the foremost main bearing.
The piston is made as an integrated collar on the main crank journal, and the
housing is fixed to the main bearing support.
The vibration damper has a mechanical guide to enable a functional check, an
optionally electronic vibration monitor can be supplied.
Engines Mk. 9 and higher require an axial vibration monitor, which indicates
condition checks of the axial vibration damper, and terminals for alarm and
slowdown.
Tuning wheel / torsional vibration damper

Depending on the final torsional vibration calculations, it may be necessary to

order a tuning wheel or a torsional vibration damper, separately.
Connecting rod
The connecting rod is made of forged or cast steel and provided with bearing
caps for the crosshead and crank pin bearings.
The crosshead and crank pin bearing caps are secured to the connecting rod
with studs and nuts tightened with hydraulic jacks.
The crosshead bearing consists of a set of thin-walled steel shells, lined with
bearing metal. The crosshead bearing cap is in one piece, with an angular cut
out for the piston rod.
G95, G/S80-60ME-C10.7/.5 3 (8)

The crank pin bearing is provided with thin-walled steel shells, lined with bear-
ing metal. Lubricating oil is supplied through ducts in the crosshead and con-
necting rod.
Piston
The piston consists of a piston crown and a piston skirt. The piston crown is
made of heat-resistant steel. A piston cleaning ring located in the very top of
the cylinder liner scrapes off excessive ash and carbon formations on the pis-
ton topland.
The piston has three or four ring grooves which are hard-chrome plated on
both the upper and lower surfaces of the grooves. Three or four piston rings
are fitted depending on the engine type.
The uppermost piston ring is always a controlled pressure relief (CPR) ring
type, whereas the other two or three piston rings are either of the CPR type,
or have an oblique cut. Depending on the engine type, the uppermost piston
ring is higher than the others. All rings are alu-coated on the outer surface for
running-in.
The piston skirt is made of cast iron with a bronze band or molybdenum coat-
ing.
Piston rod
The piston rod is of forged steel and the running surface for the stuffing box is
surface hardened. The piston rod is connected to the crosshead with four
bolts. The piston rod has a central bore which, together with the cooling oil
pipe, forms the cooling oil inlet and outlet.
Crosshead
A crosshead of forged steel is provided with cast steel guide shoes with white
metal on the running surface. The guide shoe is of the low-friction type, and
the crosshead bearings are of the wide pad design. The telescopic pipe for oil
inlet and the pipe for oil outlet are mounted on the guide shoes.
Scavenge air system

The turbocharger draws air directly from the engine room through the tur-
bocharger intake silencer. From the turbocharger, the air is led via the char-
ging air pipe, air cooler, and scavenge air receiver to the scavenge ports of
the cylinder liners, see Chapter 14. The scavenge air receiver has a D-shape
2024-03-20 - en
design.
Scavenge air cooler

Each turbocharger has a scavenge air cooler of the mono-block type.
The scavenge air cooler is most commonly cooled by freshwater from a cent-
ral cooling system. Alternatively, it can be cooled by seawater from a seawater
cooling system, or from a combined cooling system with separate seawater
and freshwater pumps. The working pressure is up to 4.5 bar.
4 (8) G95, G/S80-60ME-C10.7/.5

The scavenge air cooler is designed to keep the temperature difference

between the scavenge air and the water inlet at about 12°C, at specified
MCR.
Auxiliary blower
The engine is provided with electrically-driven scavenge air blowers integrated
in the scavenge air cooler. The suction side of the blowers is connected to the
scavenge air space after the air cooler.
Between the air cooler and the scavenge air receiver, non-return valves are fit-
ted which automatically close when the auxiliary blowers supply the air.
To obtain a safe start, the auxiliary blowers start consecutively before the en-
gine is started to ensure sufficient scavenge air pressure.
Find more information in Chapter 14.
Exhaust gas system

From the exhaust valves, exhaust gas is led to the exhaust gas receiver where
the fluctuating pressure from the individual cylinders is equalised, and the total
volume of gas is led to the turbocharger(s). After the turbocharger(s), the gas
is led to the external exhaust pipe system.
Compensators are fitted between the exhaust valves and the receiver, and
between the receiver and the turbocharger(s).
The exhaust gas receiver and exhaust pipes are insulated and covered by gal-
vanised steel plating.
A protective grating is installed between the exhaust gas receiver and the tur-
bocharger.
Reversing
The engine is reversed electronically by the engine control system which
changes the timing of fuel injection, exhaust valve activation, and starting air
valves.
2nd order moment compensators

In general, 2nd order moment compensators are relevant only for 5- and 6-
cylinder engines of 50 and 45 bore sizes.. When needed, an external electric-

ally driven moment compensator type RotComp or similar can be installed in
the steering room.
2024-03-20 - en
Section 17.02 describes 2nd order moment compensators as well as the basic
design and options.
The hydraulic power supply

The hydraulic power supply (HPS) filters and pressurises the lube oil for the
hydraulic system. The HPS consists of either mechanically driven (by the en-
gine) main pumps with electrically driven start-up pumps or electrically driven
combined main and start-up pumps. The hydraulic pressure is 300 bar.
G95, G/S80-60ME-C10.7/.5 5 (8)

The engine driven HPS is mounted aft on the engine, for engines with the
chain drive placed aft (8 cylinders or less). For engines with the chain drive
located in the middle (9 cylinders or more), the HPS is placed in the middle.
Usually, the electrically driven HPS is mounted aft on the engine.
A combined HPS is available as an option, it is mechanically driven with elec-
trically driven start-up/back-up pumps with backup capacity.
Hydraulic cylinder unit

The hydraulic cylinder unit (HCU), one per cylinder, consists of a distributor
block mounted on a base plate. The distributor block has one or more accu-
mulators to ensure the necessary peak flow of hydraulic oil during the elec-
tronically controlled fuel injection.
The distributor block serves as mechanical support for the hydraulically activ-
ated fuel pressure booster and the hydraulically activated exhaust valve actu-
ator.
Fuel oil pressure booster and fuel oil high pressure pipes
The engine is provided with one hydraulically activated fuel oil pressure
booster for each cylinder.
Fuel injection is activated by a multi-way valve (ELFI or FIVA), which is elec-
tronically controlled by the Cylinder Control Unit (CCU) of the engine control
system.
The fuel oil high-pressure pipes are of the double-wall type with built-in con-
ical support. The pipes are insulated but not heated. A ‘fuel oil leakage’ sys-
tem for each cylinder detects fuel oil leakages and immediately stops the in-
jection on the actual cylinder.
Further information is given in Section 7.01.
Fuel valves and Starting Valves

The cylinder cover is equipped with two or three fuel valves, starting air valve,
and indicator cock.
The opening of the fuel valves is controlled by the high pressure fuel oil cre-
ated by the fuel oil pressure booster, and the valves are closed by a spring.
An automatic vent slide allows circulation of fuel oil through the valve and high
pressure pipes when the engine is stopped. The vent slide also prevents the
compression chamber from being filled up with fuel oil in the event that the
valve spindle sticks. Oil from the vent slide and other drains is led away in a
2024-03-20 - en
closed system.
Supply of starting air is provided by one solenoid valve per cylinder, controlled
by the CCUs of the engine control system.
The starting valve is opened by control air, timed by the engine control sys-
tem, and is closed by a spring.
Slow turning before starting is a program incorporated in the basic engine
control system.
The starting air system is described in detail in Section 13.01.
6 (8) G95, G/S80-60ME-C10.7/.5

Exhaust valve
The exhaust valve consists of the valve housing and the valve spindle. The
valve housing is made of cast iron and is arranged for water cooling. The
housing is provided with a water cooled bottom piece of steel with a flame
hardened seat of the Wide-seat design.
The exhaust valve spindle is a DuraSpindle, a spindle made of Nimonic is
available as an option. The housing is provided with a spindle guide.
The exhaust valve is tightened to the cylinder cover with studs and nuts. The
exhaust valve is opened hydraulically by the electronic valve activation system
and closed by an air spring.
The exhaust valve is of the low-force design. Operation of the exhaust valve is
controlled by a multi-way valve (ELVA or FIVA). In operation, the valve spindle
rotates slowly, driven by the exhaust gas acting on a vane wheel fixed to the
spindle.
Sealing of the exhaust valve spindle guide is obtained with an oil bath, or con-
trolled oil level (COL), in the bottom of the air cylinder above the sealing ring.
This oil bath lubricates the exhaust valve spindle guide and sealing ring.
MAN B&W alpha cylinder lubrication

The electronically controlled MAN B&W Alpha cylinder lubrication system is
applied to the ME engines, and controlled by the ME Engine Control System.
The main advantages of the MAN B&W Alpha cylinder lubrication system,
compared with the conventional mechanical lubricator, are:
• Improved injection timing
• Increased dosage flexibility
• Constant injection pressure
• Improved oil distribution in the cylinder liner
• Possibility for prelubrication before starting.
More details about the cylinder lubrication system can be found in Chapter 9.
Gallery arrangement
The engine is provided with gallery brackets, stanchions, railings, and plat-
forms (exclusive of ladders). The positions of the brackets are carefully chosen
to provide the best possible overhauling and inspection conditions.
Some of the main pipes for the engine are suspended from the gallery brack-
ets, and the topmost gallery platform on the manoeuvring side has holes for
2024-03-20 - en
overhauling pistons.
The engine is prepared for installation of top bracings on the exhaust side, or
on the manoeuvring side.
Piping arrangement
The engine is delivered with piping arrangements for:
• Fuel oil
• Heating of fuel oil
• Lubricating oil, piston cooling oil, hydraulic oil
• Cylinder lubricating oil
G95, G/S80-60ME-C10.7/.5 7 (8)

• Cooling water to scavenge air cooler

• Jacket and turbocharger cooling water
• Cleaning of turbocharger
• Fire extinguishing in scavenge air space
• Starting air
• Control air
• Various drain pipes.
All piping arrangements are made of steel piping, except the control air and
steam heating of fuel pipes, which are made of copper.
The pipes are provided with sockets for local instruments, alarm and safety
equipment and, furthermore, with a number of sockets for supplementary sig-
nal equipment. Chapter 18 deals with the instrumentation.

Propeller layout and engine matching with margins

The combination of speed and power obtained for the design condition of the
ship may be called the propeller design point (PD). PD is placed on the light
running propeller curve, in Fig. 2.01.01.
Some shipyards, and/or propeller manufacturers occasionally use an alternat-
ive propeller design point (PD’) for the propeller design. To reflect average
conditions at sea, PD’ incorporates all or part of the so-called sea margin de-
scribed later.
2.01 Propeller layout and engine matching with margins

Fig. 2.01.01: Light propeller curve with margins added to establish the spe-
cified MCR for propulsion (MP) within a layout area for a specific engine
The service propulsion point (SP) on the engine layout curve is obtained by
adding the sea margin, and the light running margin to the propeller design

point (PD).
The specified MCR for propulsion, attained by including all margins described
in the following sections, must be placed within the layout area. See the later
section "Engine layout limitations" for further information.
All engines 1 (4)

Sea margin
As the sea is rarely completely calm and a wind often blows, the ship will ex-
perience increased resistance from wind and waves in average conditions.
When determining the necessary engine power it is normal practice to add a
power margin, the so-called sea margin. The sea margin ensures that the ship
can maintain the design speed in average conditions at sea.
Traditionally, the sea margin has been approximately 15% of the power re-
quired to achieve the design speed with a clean hull in calm weather (PD). As
ship design speeds reduce, it can be necessary to increase the sea margin
since the resistance experienced by the ship is not reduced. If allowed by the
EEDI regulation, it can be sensible to use a larger margin for ships often oper-
ating in heavy weather.
Engine margin
Often an engine owner will not permit 100% utilisation of engine power for
normal operation due to the increase of the fuel consumption and the reduc-
tion of the power reserve. Therefore an engine margin of 10 to 15% is in-
cluded to operate the engine at 90 or 85% load at the service propulsion
point. Higher margins have been experienced for specific trades or reasons. If
allowed by the EEDI regulation, a high engine margin is typically preferred for
ships in scheduled traffic to make it possible to catch up with delays.
The engine margin can be increased for ships with a shaft generator, see the
later section 2.03.
Light running margin

When the ship has sailed for some time, the hull and propeller becomes
fouled. This will increase the hull resistance, and reduce the ship speed unless
the engine delivers more power to the propeller to maintain the speed. As a
result, the propeller will require more torque and the engine will be heavier
loaded and heavy running (HR), which requires an increased torque from the
engine.
When determining the necessary engine layout speed, the influence of a
heavy running propeller and operation with increased vessel resistance must
be considered. Therefore it is recommended to use a heavier propeller curve
for the layout of the engine. The propeller curve for clean hull, and calm
weather may then represent a "light running" (LR) propeller, whereas the en-
gine layout curve represents a propeller curve in heavy weather, or with heavy
fouling.
2023-01-18 - en
MAN Energy Solutions recommends using a light running margin (LRM) of

normally 4.0–7.0%, however, for special cases up to 10%. It means that for a
given engine power, the light running propeller rpm is 4.0–10.0% higher than
the rpm given on the engine layout curve. Or, conversely, the engine is spe-
cified to a speed 4.0–7.0% lower than given on the design light propeller
curve.
The point attained in the engine layout diagram, after shifting the propeller
curve (containing the sea and engine margins) by the light running margin, is
termed the “specified MCR for propulsion” point (MP).
2 (4) All engines

The high end of the range (7–10%) is primarily intended for vessels often op-
erating in adverse conditions with a heavy running propeller. Low-powered
EEDI ships such as tankers, and bulkers with blunt bows may also experience
an operational benefit from a relatively high light-running margin.
Vessels with shaft generators, or vessels with high ice classes can also benefit
from a light running margin in the high range, or in special cases even beyond
10%. It makes it possible to keep the shaft generator and power take-off
(PTO) in operation for longer periods at sea. See the later guidance on PTO
layout limits.
The SMCR values of engine power (SMCRpower) and speed (SMCRspeed )
when including the margins can be calculated using equations 2.01.01 and
2.01.02.
Eg. 2.01.01
Eg. 2.01.02

The recommendation towards LRM is applicable to all draughts at which the
ship is intended to operate, whether ballast, design or scantling draught. The
recommendation is applicable to engine loads from 50 through 100%. If an
average of the measured values between 50% and 100% load is used for
verification of the attained light running margin, this will smoothen out the ef-
fect of measurement uncertainty and other variations.
Note on LRM
Light and heavy running, fouling, and sea margin are partially overlapping
terms. Light and heavy running of the propeller refers to hull and propeller de-
terioration, as well as heavy weather and the resulting shift of the propeller
curve towards the left in the load diagram. See for example Fig. 2.01.01. This
shift stems from the increased torque required by the propeller during en-
counters of added resistance on the hull, that is, a lower rpm output at the
same power.
2023-01-18 - en
The light running margin gives a margin towards engine limitations, see sec-
tion 2.03. This margin ensures that the ship can deliver maximum power in
conditions not as ideal as sea trial conditions. If the light running margin was
not included, this might not be the case.
The sea margin gives the power margin necessary to maintain the service
speed during average sea conditions with added wave and wind resistance.
The light running margin ensures that the necessary power is available.
All engines 3 (4)

Within the recommendations for the light running margin, the degree of light
running must be decided based on experience from the actual trade, and the
hull design of the vessel. In general, slender designs with sharp bows require
smaller margins than full-body ships with blunt bows. The latter design results
in an increase of the added resistance in adverse weather.
For further information on the effects of engine heavy running, see the later
section: "Engine power and speed limits".

Optimum propeller speed
Propeller diameter and pitch

In general, the following applies: the larger the propeller diameter, D, the lower
the optimum propeller speed and the power required for a certain design
draught and ship speed, see curve D in Fig. 2.02.01.
Fig. 2.02.01: Influence of propeller diameter (D) and pitch on propeller design
The maximum propeller diameter depends on the design draught of the ship
and the clearance needed between the propeller, the aft body hull, and the
keel.
Fig. 2.02.01 shows an example with an 80,000-dwt crude oil tanker with a
design draught of 12.2 m and a design speed of 14.5 knots.
When the propeller diameter is increased from 6.6 m to 7.2 m, the power de-
mand is reduced from approximately 9,290 kW to 8,820 kW. The optimum
2.02 Optimum propeller speed
propeller speed is reduced from 120 rpm to 100 rpm. This corresponds to the
constant ship speed coefficient α = 0.28. See the definition of α in the later
section “Definition of constant ship speed lines”.
Once a propeller diameter of maximum 7.2 m has been chosen, the corres-
2023-01-18 - en
ponding optimum pitch in this point for the design speed of 14.5 knots is P/D
= 0.70.
However, if the optimum propeller speed of 100 r/min does not match the
preferred or selected main engine speed, a change of pitch away from the op-
timum will only cause a relatively small extra power demand. It will then be
possible to keep the same maximum propeller diameter:
▪ To increase engine revolutions from 100 rpm to 110 rpm (P/D = 0.62) re-
quires 8,900 kW, that is, an extra power demand of 80 kW
▪ To decrease engine revolutions from 100 rpm to 91 rpm (P/D = 0.81) re-
quires 8,900 kW, that is, an extra power demand of 80 kW.
All Engines 1 (3)

In both cases, the extra power demand is only 0.9%, and the corresponding
"equal speed curves" are α = +0.1, and α = -0.1, respectively. So there is a
certain interval of propeller speeds where the "power penalty" is limited. An in-
terval that can be utilised to accommodate the most fuel-efficient engine.
18014450035666187
Definition of constant ship speed lines

Fig. 2.02.02 shows the constant ship speed lines, α. These lines indicate the
power required at various propeller speeds to keep the same ship speed,
when an optimum pitch/diameter ratio is used.
Fig. 2.02.02: Layout diagram, and constant ship speed lines
Normally, if propellers with an optimum pitch are used, the following relation
between the necessary power, P, and the propeller speed, n, can be as-
sumed:
P2 = P1 × (n2 /n1)α
18014450035666187
2023-01-18 - en
where:
P is the propulsion power
n is the propeller speed
α is the constant ship speed coefficient.
18014450035666187
For any combination of power and speed, points on lines which are parallel to
the ship speed lines give the same ship speed. If a constant ship speed line is
drawn into the layout area through the specified propulsion MCR point, MP1,
then another specified propulsion MCR point, MP2, on this line will give the
same ship speed.
2 (3) All Engines

Fig. 2.02.02 shows an example of the required power-speed point MP1

through which a constant ship speed curve α = 0.25 is drawn. Thereby, point
MP2 is obtained with a lower engine power, and a lower engine speed but
with the same ship speed.
Provided the optimum pitch is used for a given propeller diameter, the follow-
ing data applies when changing the propeller diameter:
▪ For general cargo, bulk carriers, and tankers: α = 0.20–0.30

▪ For container vessels, and roll-on/roll-off cargo: α = 0.15–0.25.
When changing the propeller speed by changing the pitch, the α-constant will
be different.

Engine layout and load diagram
Engine layout limitations

As Fig. 2.03.01 shows, an engine's layout diagram is limited by:
1. Constant mean effective pressure (MEP) lines (L1– L3 and L2– L4)
2. Constant engine speed lines (L1– L2 and L3– L4).
Fig. 2.03.01: Engine layout diagram with limits
Within the layout area, there is complete freedom to select the engine’s spe-
cified maximum continuous rating (SMCR), point MP, which suits the ship’s
demand for power and speed.
The nominal maximum continuous rating (NMCR) of an engine design is equi-
valent to L1 in the layout area.
2.03 Engine layout and load diagram
The effective power, P, of a combustion engine is proportional to the mean ef-
fective pressure, pe, and engine speed, n. The expression for P, where c is a
constant, is:
P= c × pe × n
2024-02-16 - en
For constant mean effective pressure (MEP), the power is proportional to the
speed:
P= c × n1 (for constant MEP)
When running with a fixed pitch propeller (FPP), the power can be expressed
according to the propeller law as:
P= c ∝ n3 (propeller law)
Although the proportionality, P ∝ k × V3. between the required power and the
cubic, i.e. ni = 3, of the speed is often referred to as a law, it is an assumption
valid only for frictional resistance. If the ship has sufficient engine power for
All engines 1 (32)

operating at elevated speeds, the wave making resistance must be con-

sidered. At elevated ship speeds, V, the exponent can be higher, for example,
P ∝ k × V4.
Normally, estimates of the necessary propeller power and speed, n, are
based on theoretical calculations for the design condition of the ship, and of-
ten also on computer simulations along with experimental tank tests. Calcula-
tions and simulations are based on optimum operating conditions, that is, a
clean hull, good weather and calm seas.
Specified maximum continuous rating within the layout area

Based on the propulsion and engine running points, the layout diagram of the
relevant main engine can be drawn in a power-speed diagram like in Fig.
2.03.01. The SMCR, point MP, must be placed inside the limitation lines of
the layout diagram. Otherwise, the propeller speed has to be changed, or an-
other main engine type must be chosen. The selected SMCR influences the
mechanical design of the engine, for example, turbocharger, piston shims,
liners, and fuel valve nozzles.
Once the specified SMCR has been chosen, the engine design, and the capa-
cities of the auxiliary equipment will be adapted to the SMCR, as reflected in
CEAS reports.
If the SMCR is changed later on, it may involve a change of:
▪ shafting system
▪ vibrational characteristics
▪ pump and cooler capacities
▪ fuel valve nozzles
▪ piston shims
▪ cylinder liner cooling, and lubrication.
Furthermore, it may be necessary to re-match the turbocharger, or even to
change to a different size of turbocharger. Sometimes, such a change also re-
quires a piping system of larger dimensions. If the specification has to be pre-
pared for a later change of SMCR, it is important to consider this already at
the project stage. It can be an option to design the ship with a derated en-
gine, and auxiliaries (coolers, pumps and pipe dimensions, shafting, and so
on) that are sufficient for a later uprating of the engine. This engine is termed a
dual-rated engine, which must be indicated in the Extent of Delivery (EoD).
Note, that EEDI regulations must permit this.
If a dual-rated engine is ordered, it is beneficial to carry out the testing neces-
sary to get the IMO technical file for the alternative SMCR during shop testing
of the engine. When testing is done before ship delivery, the more expensive
2024-02-16 - en
in-ship testing of the engine is avoided. For all fuel variants of the ME-C en-
gines, the timing of fuel injection and the timing of exhaust valve activation are
electronically optimised over a wide operating range of the engine. For ME-B
engines, only the fuel injection (and not the exhaust valve activation) is elec-
tronically controlled over a wide operating range of the engine.
Various tunings are available for pure Tier II engines. These tunings allow op-
timisation of an engine for the specific needs of a project. There are no tun-
ings available for Tier III engines. See the later section “Example of SFOC
curves”.

Engine load diagram and limitations
Definitions
A load diagram defines the power and speed limits for continuous and over-
load operation of the installed engine, see Fig. 2.03.02.
Fig. 2.03.02: Engine load diagram with adverse weather condition (AWC)
function for SMCR placed within the layout diagram (light blue)
The specified MCR, point MP, of the engine corresponds to the ship specific-
ation. The service points of the installed engine incorporate the engine power

required for ship propulsion, and by the shaft generator.
Operating curves and limits

The lines on Fig. 2.03.02 describe the service range of the engine. We will
refer to these lines throughout section 2.03. The location of the SMCR point
within the layout diagram does not affect the appearance of the load diagram.
The SMCR point alone defines the load diagram, since all specifications utilise
2024-02-16 - en
the maximum capabilities of the engine design. See the later section on “De-
rating for lower specific fuel oil consumption”.
Line 1:
Engine layout curve, per definition passing through 100% SMCR rpm, and
100% SMCR power. This curve coincides with the “heavy propeller curve”,
line 2. An engine without PTO will typically operate to the right of this curve
about 95% of the time.
Line 2:
Heavy propeller curve, the light propeller curve (line 6) shifted with the light
running margin to account for heavy weather, and fouled hull.
All engines 3 (32)

Line 3:
Maximum rpm for continuous operation. For engines with an SMCR on the
line L1-L2 in the layout diagram, up to 105% of L1-rpm can be utilised. If the
SMCR is sufficiently speed derated, 110% of SMCR rpm, but no more than
105% of L1-rpm, can be utilised for standard engines. Torsional vibration con-
ditions must permit the rpm values.
If the SMCR (MP) is sufficiently speed derated, and if torsional vibration condi-
tions permit it, more than 110% speed is possible by choosing the “extended
load diagram”. The extended load diagram is described later in this chapter.
Line 4:
Torque/speed limit of the engine, limited mainly by the thermal load on the en-
gine.
Line 5:
Represents the maximum mean effective pressure (MEP) level acceptable for
continuous operation. Note, that this is only a limit at high loads, and engine
speeds. At lower speeds, line 4 is a stricter limit.
Line 6:
Light propeller curve for clean hull, and calm weather, often used for propeller
layout. The light running margin is the rpm margin (in percent) between the
engine layout curve (lines 1 and 2) and the light propeller curve.
Line 7:
Represents the maximum power for continuous operation. Note that when in-
creasing rpm towards lines 3 and 9, the maximum power for continuous oper-
ation cannot exceed 100%.
Line 8:
The area between lines 4, 5, 7 and line 8 represents the overload operation
limit of the engine. Overload running is possible only for limited periods, 1 hour
out of every 12 hours, as the resulting thermal load on the engine is high.
Line 9:
Maximum acceptable rpm at sea trial conditions with clean hull and propeller
in calm water. 110% of SMCR rpm, but no more than 107% of L1-rpm if per-
mitted by torsional vibrations.
If point M / the SMCR of the engine is sufficiently speed derated, more than
110% speed is possible by choosing “Extended load diagram” which is de-

scribed later in this chapter.
Line 10:
PTO layout limit. This curve describes the maximum combined power re-
quired by the light propeller curve and the PTO at a given rpm with a shaft
generator/PTO. The PTO layout limit is to be considered when dimensioning
the system. This layout limit ensures operational margin to line 4, see the sub-

vance speed. The bollard pull curve is typically 15 to 20% heavier than the

AWC area
Extended overload operation limits of engines equipped with the adverse
weather conditions function, the AWC function. The AWC function increases
the percentage of engine power that can be developed with a heavy propeller,
as long as required in an emergency.
4 (32) All engines

When the function is activated, the electronic control of the ME engine alters
the cyclic process of the combustion to reduce the negative effects of devel-
oping a high engine torque at low rpm. It is done at the cost of an increased
specific fuel oil consumption. Due to the resulting SFOC increase, AWC is not
to be considered a replacement for an adequate light running margin. See the
later section “AWC function” for a further description of this function.
Limits for low-speed running

As the fuel injection for ME engines is automatically controlled over the entire
power range, the engine is able to operate down to approximately 15-20% of
the nominal L1 speed, depending on the actual propulsion system. Absolute
values of minimum speed must be determined at the sea trial.
Recommendation for operation

The area between lines 1, 3 and 7 is available for continuous operation
without limitation.
The area between lines 1, 4 and 5 is available for operation in shallow waters,
in heavy weather, and during acceleration, that is for non-steady operation
without any strict time limitation.
The area between lines 4, 5, 7 and 8 is available for overload operation for 1
out of every 12 hours.
After some time in operation, the ship’s hull and propeller will be fouled, res-
ulting in heavier running of the propeller. The propeller curve will move to the
left, (from line 6), towards line 2, and extra power is required for propulsion to
keep the same ship speed.
In calm weather conditions, the extent of heavy running of the propeller can
indicate the need for cleaning the hull, and/or polishing the propeller.

Passage of a barred speed range

If the engine and shaft line has a barred speed range (BSR), it is usually a
class requirement that it can be passed quickly. The quickest way to pass the
BSR is the following:
1. Set the rpm setting to a value just below the BSR
2. Wait while the ship accelerates to a ship speed corresponding to the rpm
setting
3. Increase the rpm setting to a value above the BSR.
Sometimes, for example in certain manoeuvring situations inside a harbour, or
at sea in adverse conditions, it may not be possible to follow the procedure
for passing the BSR. Either because there is no time to wait for the ship
speed to build up, or because high ship resistance makes it impossible to
achieve a ship speed corresponding to the engine rpm setting. In such cases,
it can be necessary to pass the BSR at low ship speed.
The most basic guidance on avoiding slow passing of the BSR is to avoid a
BSR that extends higher than 60% engine rpm, while specifying a light run-
ning margin within the recommendation. If so, it is normally possible to
achieve a sufficiently quick passage of the BSR in relevant conditions.
A more detailed approach is to ensure a BSR power margin, BSRPM, of at
least 10% in the design.
BSRPM = ((PL – PP)/PP*100
Here, PP is the power required by the bollard pull propeller curve at the upper
end of the BSR, whereas PL is the power limit for continuous operation within
the engine load diagram, line 4 in Fig. 2.03.02. As such, the BSRPM expresses
the excess engine power in the upper range of the BSR, and hereby the
ship’s capability to pass it.
If a ship faces challenges with passing the BSR, a special function termed the
"dynamic limiter function" (DLF) may be specified for diesel cycle engines. The
DLF can for shorter periods increase the index limits of the engine, and ensure
a faster passage of the BSR.
For 5- and 6- cylinder engines with short shaft lines, such as on many bulkers
and tankers, the BSR may extend high up in the rpm range. Special attention
must be given to ensure that the BSR can be passed quickly. 5- and 6- cylin-
der engines are as standard delivered with the DLF functionality.

Shaft generator/PTO layout, governor stability and integration

For the dimensioning and layout of a two-stroke propulsion plant with power
take-off (PTO)/shaft generator, two aspects are important to consider for the
design:
▪ PTO layout limit: prevention of engine overload
▪ Governor stability evaluation: prevention of engine speed hunting, and po-
tentially also engine overspeed
Both aspects and their interactions will be clarified in detail in the following
sections. See the flowchart in Fig. 2.03.03 for an overview of the considera-
tions needed for a specific plant.

2024-02-16 - en
Fig. 2.03.03: Flowchart for determining evaluations needed, depending on

plant characteristics
All engines 7 (32)

It is a prerequisite for a successful governor stability evaluation that the criteria

of the PTO layout limit is fulfilled, and conversely. It is important to consider
both aspects as illustrated by the flowchart. At the end of this section, consid-
erations for the protection of the engine towards overload in service is given.
PTO layout limit

In the load diagram in Fig. 2.03.02, line 10 represents the "PTOlayout limit". Line
10 describes the maximum combined power required by the light propeller
curve and the PTO at a given speed, n, when a shaft generator/PTO is in-
stalled. The minimum value of the following three equations governs the
"PTOlayout limit". Observe the speed interval for which the second equation is ap-
plicable:
As marked in Fig. 2.03.02, the maximum design PTO power at a given speed
is the vertical difference between line 6 (the light propeller/combinator curve of
a propeller) and line 10 (the PTOlayout limit). PTO operation is not possible below
50% of SMCR-speed. Table 2.03.01 shows the relative PTO power available
when sea conditions allow operation along the light propeller curve. At engine
speeds above 50% of SMCR, the relative PTO power is given as a function of
the light running margin.
Designing the combined power of the PTO and propeller according to the
PTOlayout limit ensures that the PTO can be operated in conditions less ideal than
sea trial conditions. Note that neither the torque/speed limit (line 4) nor the
MEP limit (line 5) is used for the layout of the PTO capacity.
With increased heavy running, the electric power taken off with the PTO must
be decreased gradually not to push the operational point outside the engine
limits. In severe cases, fouling and sea conditions alone are enough to shift
the propeller curve to line 4. It these cases, the PTO cannot be utilised without
overloading the engine, and the auxiliary engines must deliver all the electric
energy.
It can be beneficial to increase the SMCR power and/or the light running mar-
gin for ships with a large electrical consumption, which often operate at high
speeds/engine loads, or in areas with frequent encounters of adverse weather
conditions. This will increase the margin from the light propeller curve to the
2024-02-16 - en
PTOlayout limit and ensure a higher availability of the PTO.

Increasing the SMCR power of the engine, while maintaining a constant pro-
peller pitch, results in an increase of the light running margin. See Table
2.03.01 at the end of this section. When evaluating the possibility for an in-
crease of SMCR power, compliance with EEDI regulations must be con-
sidered. See the application examples in main section “Examples of the use of
load diagrams”.
For information on PTO power available at a given propeller speed as a func-
tion of the propeller light running margin, see the later section "PTO layout
table".

Governor stability for plants with PTO

A PTO connected to the electric grid will deliver constant power, and intro-
duce negative damping of the engine speed. If a vessel encounters, for ex-
ample, large waves, the speed through water and the engine speed will drop.
Therefore, the frequency drive will load the PTO with a higher torque to deliver
the same electrical power. The torque increase enhances the speed drop ex-
perienced, and conversely for a speed increase.
To ensure a stable engine speed during operation, MAN Energy Solutions has
established guidelines on governor stability for the maximum PTO power al-
lowed.
These guidelines must be considered along with the PTO layout limit. It means
that the maximum allowable PTO power to design for at any engine speed is
determined as the minimum of the two aspects.
First governor stability criteria

The first governor stability criteria depicted on Fig. 2.03.04 represents a min-
imum with respect to governor stability at lower speeds. The criteria are valid
for plants where the mechanical power of the PTO does not exceed 15%
SMCR power for fixed pitch propeller (FPP) plants and 10% SMCR power for
controllable pitch propeller (CPP) plants.
Fig. 2.03.04 shows three limits, which establish the first governor stability cri-
teria for:
▪ FPP plants (blue solid curve)
▪ CPP plants, and engines with bore sizes smaller than 80 cm (orange solid
curve)
▪ CPP, and 80-bore engines or larger (grey solid curve)

ensuring acceptable governor performance and stability without interface op-
tion C. The limits relate to NMCR and FPP plants, CPP plants and engines
with bore sizes smaller than 80 cm, and CPP plants with 80-bore engines or
larger
The limits in Fig. 2.03.04 are based on NMCR power and speed, not SMCR
power and speed. This is because stability is related closely to the actual
speed and the physical parameters of the engine, i.e., power and inertia,
rather than the choice of SMCR.
MAN Energy Solutions must be consulted for a plant-specific PTO layout and
design evaluation, if the maximum mechanical PTO load on the shaft is higher
than:
▪ 15% of SMCR power for FPP plants,
▪ or 10% for CPP plants,
▪ or if the plant does not fulfil the first governor stability criteria.
Interface option C described below is mandatory for these plants.

For FPP plants, where the mechanical PTO power exceeds 10% of SMCR
power, Interface option C is recommended.
PTO operation is in any case not possible below 50% of SMCR speed.
Interface option C - integration between power management and engine

control system
For plants with a shaft generator more powerful than ordinary, Interface option
2024-02-16 - en
C can be installed between the engine control system (ECS) and the power
management system (PMS) to increase the maximum PTO power. This inter-
face improves the integration of ECS and PMS, and enhances governor sta-
bility. A plant-specific evaluation is performed for each application of interface
option C. See also the next sections for other benefits of Interface option C.
The plant-specific PTO layout and design evaluation may lead to changes in
the control equipment. For example, an increase of signals from the plant and
requirements to the design of engine-driven mechanical components in the
form of turning and tuning wheels. The evaluation may also lead to changes in
the use of the PTO or set restrictions for the rotational speed while taking out
maximum power.
10 (32) All engines

Fixed pitch propellers

For plants with FPP, interface option C is:
▪ Required if the mechanical power of the PTO exceeds 15% of SMCR
▪ Recommended if the mechanical power of the PTO exceeds 10% of
SMCR
Application of Interface option C requires consultation of MAN Energy Solu-
tions for a plant-specific PTO layout and design evaluation. By applying Inter-
face option C, at least 20% of SMCR power is available for PTO within certain
speed limitations. An even larger ratio may be available for PTO and can be
investigated as part of a plant-specific PTO layout and design evaluation.
Controllable pitch propellers

For plants with CPP, further considerations are necessary regarding governor
stability, as when the propeller pitch is reduced. For CPP plants, Interface op-
tion C is:
▪ Required if the mechanical power of the PTO exceeds 10% of SMCR.
▪ Recommended if the mechanical power of the PTO exceeds 5% of SMCR
Based on a plant-specific evaluation, specific limits may be set to the min-
imum engine speed at which manoeuvring can be performed while sustaining
the maximum PTO power.
For plants, where the mechanical PTO power exceeds 10% of SMCR, a
plant-specific evaluation includes the risk of overspeed if a total electric load
loss occurs on the PTO during engine operation in constant speed mode.
Load sharing and overload protection in service

Designing according to the PTO layout limit does not protect the engine from
overload during PTO operation in combination with a fouled hull, or an en-
counter of heavy seas. With the standard interfaces between the engine and
remote control, it is the responsibility of the crew to balance the load between
PTO and gensets to avoid overload of the engine during conditions with in-
creased hull resistance.

Besides ensuring governor stability, interface option C provides signals for the
PMS to automate load sharing between the main engine PTO and gensets.
The extended interface will help ensuring higher utilisation rates of the PTO,
thus reducing genset running hours. If supplying power solely by the PTO, it
will also reduce the risk of blackout without overloading the engine.

Options for accounting for PTO in the EEDI

Two options exist for including a PTO in the vessel EEDI, as described in the
EEDI guideline MEPC.364(79) and the IACS procedure PR38:
In option 1, the power of the main engine, PME, used for calculating the EEDI
is determined as:
PME = 0.75 x (PSMCR - PPTO), with the limitation that 0.75 x PPTO ≤ PAE.
Here, PPTO is the nameplate PTO power and PAE is the auxiliary power calcu-
lated as a percentage of PSMCR. For the alternative option 2, the power avail-
able for propulsion is limited to: PLIM, propulsion = PSMCR - PPTO, and PME used in the
EEDI calculation is 0.75 x PLIM, propulsion, see Fig. 2.03.05.
2024-02-16 - en
Fig. 2.03.05: The principle of PTO option 2 for the EEDI calculation
With an extension to PTO interface option C, it is possible for the engine con-
trol system (ECS) to support PTO option 2 in the EEDI calculation. The sup-
port of PTO option 2 is only performed by the ECS, and for a plant with PTO
interface option C, no further cabling or functionalities are necessary in the
power management system (PMS).
12 (32) All engines

The PMS sends the actual mechanical power of the PTO (PPTO, actual) to the
ECS. The ECS ensures that the actual total engine power (PLIM, engine) in service
is limited to the fixed limit for propulsion power (PLIM, propulsion) plus the actual
PTO power (PPTO, actual):
PLIM, engine = PLIM, propulsion + PPTO, actual
The value of the power limitation for maximum propulsion power (PLIM, propulsion)
is fixed and can in no circumstances be lifted or modified. When the PMS in-
forms the ECS that PTO operation is needed, and this is acknowledged by
the ECS, an engagement offset of approx. 5% of PSMCR is added to the actual
PLIM, engine to allow load transfer to the PTO. As long as the PTO is engaged, the
engagement offset is added to the PLIM, engine to allow load fluctuations for the
PTO. The combined power output of the engine, PPTO, actual and PLIM, propulsion, is
logged continuously. Since the engine can deliver the full PSMCR, when full PTO
power is exploited, the engine is certified as usual in accordance with PSMCR.
Furthermore, the SFOC of the engine is not affected by the application of PTO
option 2 for EEDI, and auxiliary capacities cannot be reduced as the engine
remains able to develop 100% power.
The engine load diagram in Fig. 2.03.06 is based on an SMCR with a fixed
limitation for propulsion power determined as: PLIM, propulsion = PSMCR - PPTO. In an
actual example of the PTO power in service (PPTO, actual), a variable limitation is
used for the total engine power: (PLIM, engine = PLIM, propulsion + PPTO, actual), thereby
ensuring that the fixed limitation for propulsion power (PLIM, propulsion) is not ex-
ceeded.

Recommendations for designing propulsion plants for PTO option 2 for EEDI
The PTO layout guidance for this application deviates from MAN Energy Solu-
tions’ standard PTO layout guidance as described previously in Chapter 2:
The propulsion and PTO power in total is to be designed for 100% of PSMCR,
and not the maximum 95% of PSMCR recommended for standard PTO layouts.
The difference between the guidelines is reflected in the PTO layout limit for
option 2 in Fig. 2.03.06, where Nrel is the speed relative to the speed at SMCR
(NSMCR):
PTO layout limit for option 2 = 100 x (Nrel/100)2.4
The special PTO layout limit for option 2 is necessary since it is not possible to
exploit the 5% power margin of the standard guideline for heavy running of
the propeller, because the propulsion power will be limited to PLIM, propulsion re-
gardless of whether the propeller is heavy running or not.
Instead, the higher power allowed under the EEDI by applying PTO option 2
for plants with high PTO power capacities provides an inherent service margin
for PTO power.
The limitations for PTO power relative to PSMCR, as described previously in sec-
tion 2.03 of the Project Guide, prevail irrespective of the use of PTO option 2
for EEDI. It means that for fixed pitch propeller plants, a PTO power of up to
15% of PSMCR is possible without plant-specific evaluations, and up to 10% of
PSMCR for controllable pitch propellers.
If the amount of resistance added to the propeller makes it so heavy running
that the limited propulsion power (PLIM, propulsion) is encountered at a shaft speed
below SMCR (NSMCR), the engine cannot be loaded to 100% PSMCR. In this
case, the combined propulsion and PTO power will be subject to the limits for
continuous operation of the engine.
It is recommended to have a speed margin in the design for heavy running of
the propeller. The propeller light running margin can be increased to a level
where PLIM, propulsion, along the light propeller curve, and PPTO combined is
reached at speeds above NSMCR. Such a margin is included in the light pro-
peller curve for the example in Fig. 2.03.06, where PLIM, propulsion, along the light
propeller curve, + PPTO attains 100% engine load at 102% speed.
The engine cannot necessarily attain 100% engine load in light sea trial condi-
tion as a result of the combined propulsion and PTO power. This will be the
case if the maximum allowable speed along the light propeller curve regarding
engine or torsional vibration conditions is below the speed at which PLIM, propulsion
is reached.
It is recommended to design the propeller and intermediate shaft to the full
torque of PSMCR. If a winding failure occurs on the PTO, or similar, which res-
2024-02-16 - en
ults in a total load loss for the PTO, the shafting can instantaneously experi-
ence the full engine torque before the fuel index can be regulated to corres-
pond to PLIM, propulsion. The shafting system cannot be designed as for an engine
with an SMCR corresponding to PLIM, propulsion due to the higher torque available
from the higher power installed.

examples in the latter part of this section. For support regarding layout of
PTO/PTI, classification and application of PTO option 2 for EEDI, contact Mar-

AWC functionality
The AWC functionality is only available for single fuel diesel engines equipped
with high-efficiency turbochargers. The AWC function is introduced for ME-C
10.5 and 9.7 engines. If the AWC function is installed, it can be activated by
pushing the “Increase limitation”-button, found on all ME-C engines.
There is no limitation on the duration of engine operation in the area of the
AWC function. As such, the increased power produced may be utilised when
evaluating a ship designs compliance with IMO minimum propulsion power re-
quirements.
Ice-classed ships are designed to operate in ice, and ice operation is therefore
not an emergency running condition. The AWC functionality is therefore not
applicable for compliance with ice-class power requirements, or similar re-
quirements that the ship is designed for (not emergency). For ice-classed
ships, the standard, or if selected, the rpm-extended load diagram, should be
applied as usual.
Based on the same argument as for ice-classed ships, the AWC functionality
does not increase the power available for PTO. The reason is that the opera-
tion of a PTO is not an emergency running condition. A PTO installation must
still comply with the PTO layout limits, and the governor stability criteria.
As a countermeasure to the temperature increase from heavy running, the
AWC functionality alters the cyclic process of the combustion by changing the
fuel injection timing and the exhaust valve timing. This improves thermal con-
ditions in the combustion chamber at a cost of an increased SFOC. The
SFOC penalty depends on the specific load conditions. Due to the increased
SFOC, the AWC functionality should not be considered a replacement for an
adequate light running margin.
When the engine is not running heavier than the normal load diagram, the
AWC functionality has no effect and does not affect the SFOC or emissions.
For ships frequently operating in adverse weather conditions, an increased
light running margin combined with an extended load diagram will ensure a
lower SFOC during (such) encounters of adverse weather than the AWC func-
tion. See the later section about extended load diagrams. For specific enquir-

ies towards the availability of the AWC functionality, contact MarineProjectEn-
[email protected]. For specific projects applying AWC, send the tor-
sional vibration calculation (TVC) to MAN Energy Solutions, Copenhagen at

Rpm-extended load diagram

When a ship with fixed pitch propeller operates in normal sea service, it will in
general operate around the design/light propeller curve (line 6) as shown on
the standard load diagram in Fig. 2.03.07.
Fig. 2.03.07: Rpm-extended load diagram for a speed derated engine with an
extreme increase of the light running margin
Sometimes, when operating in heavy weather or ice, the performance of the

fixed pitch propeller will be characterised as more heavy running. For equal
power absorption of the propeller, the propeller speed will be lower, and the
propeller curve will move to the left.
As the low-speed main engines are directly coupled to the propeller, the en-
gine has to follow a fixed pitch propeller also in heavy running propeller situ-
ations. For this type of operation, there is normally enough margin in the load
area between line 6 and the normal torque/speed limitation, line 4. It requires
that the light running margin is within recommendations, see Fig. 2.03.02.
For some ships and operating conditions, it would be an advantage – when
occasionally needed – to have a maximum margin for the torque increase
2024-02-16 - en
from the light propeller curve (line 6) to the torque/speed limit (line 4).
If the vessel has a fixed pitch propeller which requires a high light running
margin, an rpm-extended load diagram is relevant. Torsional vibration condi-
tions must permit this, and the classification society in question must approve
the solution.
The high light running margin, and rpm-extended load diagram is especially
relevant when at least two of the listed cases apply to the ship:
▪ Sailing in areas with frequent encounters of heavy weather, especially for
low-powered ships with blunt bows
▪ Sailing for long periods in shallow or otherwise restricted waters
16 (32) All engines

▪ A high ice class

▪ Two fixed pitch propellers/two main engines, where one propeller/one en-
gine is declutched/stopped for some reason
▪ Large electric loads and according to PTO capacity.
See the examples in the following section about application of the rpm-exten-
ded load diagram.
Combinator curves for CPP propulsion plants

In principle, a controllable pitch propeller (CPP) can load the engine in any
point within the load diagram. It means that the engine can operate along a
combinator curve with optimised pitch settings and propeller speed, making it
possible to operate the total propulsion system with optimum efficiency.
There are three modes for operating a ship with a CPP, as reflected in Fig.
2.03.08:
▪ Constant engine speed (generator mode) – red line
▪ Fixed combinator curve – black curve (6)
▪ Adaptive combinator curve - this mode continuously adapts/controls pitch
and rpm, typically based on a combinator curve

2024-02-16 - en
Fig. 2.03.08: Combinator curve and engine load diagram. The constant rpm
curve can also be referred to as the generator curve. The exact speed of the
generator curve will depend on the gear ratio of the PTO
Recommendations will be given regarding:

▪ Two-stroke engines coupled directly with a CPP without PTO
All engines 17 (32)

▪ Additional recommendation for two-stroke engines coupled directly with a

CPP and PTO
Controllable pitch propeller operating without PTO
Constant engine speed mode

For plants without PTO, the constant speed mode is typically used for, but not
limited to, manoeuvring as the ship approaches port. Operating the engine at
high speed and low pitch ensures the maximum margin to the load limitations
of the engine and the fastest response to any load change.
It is recommended avoiding continuous operation in the low-load area of the
engine and at high propeller speed close to SMCR speed, due to:
▪ Potential risk of erosive pressure side cavitation
▪ Relatively higher losses of propeller and engine
Fixed combinator curve

A fixed combinator curve implies that the engine operates at a certain speed
and the CPP load controller sets an associated pitch, depending on the set-
ting of the machinery telegraph. When operating along a combinator curve,
the shaft speed is reduced at lower loads. This will reduce the losses of the
propeller and the engine at lower loads and increase the propulsion plant effi-
ciency.
Fig. 2.03.09 shows a typical fixed combinator curve, which consists of two
constant speed parts and one combinator part
2024-02-16 - en
Fig. 2.03.09: Typical fixed combinator curves for controllable pitch propellers
without PTO
18 (32) All engines

The minimum constant speed part (point A to B) is typically placed after the
upper end of a barred speed range (BSR), if any. The maximum constant
speed part (point C to D) with an increased pitch is typically laid out as the
SMCR speed, so only the pitch is increased to attain 100% load. However, up
to 105% of the SMCR speed is available, as for an engine connected to a
fixed pitch propeller (FPP).
The combinator part (point B to C), is the part of the combinator curve that
connects the constant speed parts. Usually, the propeller design point is
within the range of the combinator part. The pitch can be constant along this
part, or it can follow a preset combination of speeds and different pitch set-
tings.
During the encounter of heavy weather, or fouling of the hull, the response
from a fixed combinator curve is similar to that of an FPP propeller curve.
The torque required from the propeller increases when the resistance of the
hull increases, which leads to a heavier running engine and higher SFOC. The
result is higher thermal loading of the engine. To achieve an adequate margin,
it is recommended that any arbitrary point along the fixed combinator curve
follows the recommendation of the FPP light running margin (LRM). This mar-
gin is 4–7%, and in special cases up to 10%, except for the pitch-in at SMCR
speed.
When reaching the engine limits for continuous operation, the propeller pitch
must be reduced, if the engine speed is not to be reduced.
Adaptive combinator curve

Typically, adaptive or dynamic combinator curves are based on fixed combin-
ator curves, and they can be applied to vessels experiencing resistance vari-
ations.
For long-term operation of plants with an adaptive combinator curve/propeller
pitch, it is recommended loading the engine no heavier than the engine layout
curve (line 1 or 2).
Short-term loading of the engine beyond the engine layout curve and up to
the limits of continuous operation (line 4) is available for acceleration, peak
wave resistance, etc., without adjusting the pitch. When reaching the limit for

continuous operation, the pitch must be reduced to maintain the engine
speed.
The pitch adjustment capabilities of a CPP together with the adaptive combin-
ator curve enable an operating curve where the engine is not operated heavier
than given by the engine layout curve. Furthermore, the benefits are that the
SFOC does not increase as a result of engine heavy running, and that the
thermal load of the engine is reduced.

Controllable pitch propeller operating with PTO
Constant engine speed mode (generator mode)

A constant engine speed is mainly relevant when operating a synchronous
PTO connected to a grid without a frequency converter, or for manoeuvring.
For plants with a PTO exceeding 10% of the SMCR power, the margin to-
wards engine overspeed during a total loss of shaft generator load at zero or
low pitch should be considered. See the section on governor stability, and for
further information contact [email protected].
Fixed combinator curve

For CPP propulsion plants with PTO and a fixed combinator curve, it is re-
commended designing the combinator curve so that the combined load of
propulsion power and maximum PTO output is within the PTO layout limit (line
10 in Fig. 2.03.08) at any speed.
For any combinator curve, the margin between the propulsion power design
points and the PTO layout limit should be large enough to cover the maximum
PTO mechanical power within the PTO layout limit at any speed. See Fig.
2.03.10.

Fig. 2.03.10: Typical fixed combinator curve for controllable pitch propellers
with PTO
Although the power of the intended PTO is within the PTO layout limit for a
combinator curve heavier than 4% LRM, the recommendation of a combin-
ator curve corresponding to at least 4% LRM prevails, for any point on the
combinator curve. Some CPP plants have a PTO capacity larger than required
at sea because the main engine driven PTO supplies power to the thrusters
during manoeuvring. In such cases, the maximum PTO power required at sea
20 (32) All engines

can be considered the margin between the combinator curve and the PTO
layout limit (line 10). However, the general recommendation of 4–7% LRM, up
to 10% in special cases, prevails.
Adaptive combinator curve

Assuming that the full PTO capacity at a given speed is not utilised for plants
with an adaptive combinator curve/propeller pitch. In this case, it is recom-
mended not to operate with a combined load of propeller and PTO, which is
heavier than the engine layout curve (line 1, 2 in Fig. 2.03.08).
Short-term loading of the engine beyond the layout curve and up to the limits
of continuous operation (line 4) is available for acceleration, start of heavy
electric consumers, etc., without adjusting the pitch.
The dynamic capabilities of the CP propeller can reduce the level of heavy
running by reducing the propeller torque to counter a torque increase of driv-
ing a PTO. This will reduce the SFOC not only for the power taken out for the
grid, but also for the power used to propel the vessel.

Examples of the use of load diagrams

In the following, various examples illustrate the flexibility of the layout and load
diagrams.
Example 1: Engine coupled to FPP without PTO

In this example, which represents a typical application of marine two-stroke
engines, typical values of 7%, engine margin, and 15% sea margin are in-
cluded. A light running margin in the higher range of the recommended 4–7%
(up to 10% in special cases) is displayed for the sake of the example.
The maximum speed acceptable for an engine with a standard load diagram
is the minimum value of 110% SMCR-speed or 105% L1-speed. If torsional vi-
bration conditions permit it, 107% of the SMCR-speed will be available for
continuous operation, even if the light propeller curve extends beyond the lay-
out diagram, see Fig. 2.03.11.

Example 2: Engine coupled to FPP with PTO

In this example, the SMCR is determined by using the regular method for de-
termining PD and adding margins. Thereafter, it is investigated whether the
desired PTO of 9% of the SMCR can be accommodated within the PTO lay-
out limit.
As seen on Fig. 2.03.12, the power of the light propeller curve plus the power
of the PTO lies well within the PTO layout limit (line 10 in Fig. 2.03.08), which
is up to 102% of the SMCR speed (96% relative to L1 on Fig. 2.03.12). At a
shaft speed above this, the PTO output must be reduced.

Since the PTO power is less than 10% of the SMCR power, only first governor
stability criteria should be considered. There is no need for further considera-
tions about the impact of the PTO towards governor stability. As an example
of evaluating according to the first governor stability criteria, consider a
6S60ME-C10 engine and:
▪ NMCR (L1) of 14,940 kW at 105 rpm (80% of L1 as on Fig. 2.03.12)
▪ SMCR of 11,950 kW at 99.8 rpm (95% of L1 as on Fig. 2.03.12).
For a mechanical PTO power of:

▪ 9% of SMCR, which corresponds to: 0.09 x 11,905 = 1,070 kW
▪ available in a speed range from 80 - 102% of SMCR
which is: 80% x 95% = 76% to 102% x 95% = 97% of NMCR.
Absolute Relative to SMCR Relative to NMCR
Speed [rpm] Power [kW] Speed [%] Power [%] Speed [%] Power [%]
101.8 1070 102 9.0 97 7.2
79.8 1070 80 9.0 76 7.2
59.9 800 60 6.7 57 5.4
Table 2.03.02: Values of PTO realtive to an SMCR of 11950 kW at 99.8 rpm

relative to NMCR of 14940 kW at 105 rpm.
This is plotted relative to the first governor stability criteria, as this PTO power
represents 7.2% of the power at NMCR. The PTO is available down to 60% of
SMCR speed, and it delivers a constant torque between 60% and 80% of
SMCR speed. It means that the PTO delivers a reduced power proportional to
the speed reduction, compared to the speed at which the nominal PTO
power is available: 60%/80% x 1070 = 800 kW. This corresponds to 5.4% of
NMCR power and 60% x 95% = 57% of the NMCR speed. This is depicted in
Fig. 2.3.13.

Example 3: Engine coupled to FPP with PTO, and increased light running margin
In this example, a PTO of 18% of the SMCR is desired, which represents a
larger percentage of the SMCR power than considered in example 2.
To accommodate the larger PTO in a desired range of 80–100% of the
SMCR-speed (75–95% on Fig. 2.03.14), the light running margin is increased
to 9%. For the present SMCR located at 95% of the L1-speed, a 9% light run-
ning margin is still within the limit given by the minimum value of 110% SMCR-
speed, or 105% L1-speed.
As the PTO power exceeds 15% of the SMCR power, interface option C
between the power management system and the engine control system is a
prerequisite for applying the PTO to ensure sufficient governor stability. A
plant specific evaluation of the governor stability is part of the application of in-
terface option C.

power (dashed).
Example 4: Engine coupled to FPP with PTO, increased SMCR power, and rpm-extended load
diagram
2024-02-16 - en
In this case, an increase of the PTO power to 24% of the SMCR power is
considered. If considering the same absolute propeller curve as in example 3,
the power cannot be accommodated within the PTO layout limit. For the sake
of example, it is not desirable to increase the propeller light running margin
further by decreasing the propeller pitch since it affects the propeller efficiency
negatively.
To accommodate the higher power of the PTO, the SMCR power is increased
by 7% while the SMCR-speed is maintained. This results in an engine that de-
livers a higher torque, see Fig. 2.03.15. The SMCR increase has the con-
sequence that the propeller light running margin at 100% of SMCR power
now corresponds to 11.5% - without changing the propeller pitch.

Fig. 2.03.15: Engine coupled to a fixed pitch propeller, and a very large shaft
generator of 24% of SMCR. The load diagram is the result of selecting the
MP/SMCR within the layout area, the PTO layout limit (line 10), and the light
propeller curve plus the PTO power (dashed line).
In this example, the light propeller curve will deliver 100% power at 111.5% of
SMCR speed, or 106% of L1-speed. This is beyond the criteria of the min-
imum value of 110% of SMCR-speed, or 105% of L1-speed.
For speed-derated engines, it is possible to extend the maximum speed limit
to maximum 105% of the engine’s L1/L2 speed (line 3 in Fig. 2.03.08), but only
if the torsional vibration conditions permit this. Thus, with respect to torsional
vibrations, the shafting has to be approved by the classification society in
question, based on the selected extended maximum speed limit.
When choosing an increased light running margin, the load diagram area may
be extended from line 3 to line 3’, as shown in Fig. 2.03.07.
The increased light propeller curve (line 6), may have a correspondingly in-
creased light running margin before exceeding the torque/speed limit (line 4).
In this example, the rpm extension of the load diagram will have limited effect.
Relative to the SMCR, 105% of L1-speed corresponds to 110.5%. Thereby,
100% power will not be available for continuous operation only by loading the
engine with the propeller and with the hull as in sea trial condition.
For further speed-derated engines, the effects of the rpm-extended load dia-
2024-02-16 - en
gram will be greater.

As for sea trial, 107% of L1-speed is available for demonstrating full power, if
torsional vibration conditions permits, see Fig. 2.03.02. In this example, it cor-
responds to 112.5% of the SMCR. If 100% power is to be available only for
propeller load for continuous operation, the SMCR must be further speed de-
rated, that is, the SMCR point will be moved further to the left in the layout
diagram in Fig. 2.03.15.

prerequisite for applying the PTO to ensure sufficient governor stability. A
plant specific evaluation of the governor stability is part of the application of in-
terface option C.
Example 5: Engine coupled to CPP without PTO

If a controllable pitch propeller (CPP) is applied, the combinator curve (of the
propeller) will normally be selected for a loaded ship including sea margin. For
a given propeller speed, the combinator curve may have a given propeller
pitch, and it may be heavy running in heavy weather like for a fixed pitch pro-
peller.
Therefore, it is recommended using a light running combinator curve ob-
serving the recommendations for the light running margin for a fixed pitch pro-
peller. For plants equipped with dynamic combinator curves adapting the pro-
peller pitch continuously, it is recommended to seeking an operational point
corresponding to the recommendations for the light running margin for fixed
pitch propellers.
See Fig. 2.03.16 for a typical combinator curve corresponding to 5% light run-
ning margin along the constant pitch part of the combinator curve. Even
without a PTO, some combinator curves are designed not to exceed 100% of
the SMCR-speed, as represented by the dashed line. The engine does not
prevent the combinator curve from continuing at constant pitch beyond 100%
of the SMCR-speed. However, the general speed limits of the engine must be
observed and torsional vibration conditions must permit it.
Sea and engine margins can in general be considered the same as for FP
propellers. However, as the pitch can be reduced in an encounter of adverse
weather conditions, there are no reasons for applying the AWC functionality.

Example 6: Engine coupled to CPP with PTO

In this example, a PTO of 15% of the SMCR is desired which requires a com-
binator curve corresponding to 7% light running margin to accommodate the
PTO within the PTO layout limit, see Fig. 2.03.17.

erator corresponding to 15% of the SMCR power. The load diagram is the
result of selecting the MP/SMCR within the layout area.
As for a fixed pitch propeller, the combined load of the combinator curve and
PTO power must lie within the PTO layout limit.
Even if the pitch of the CP propeller can be reduced to accommodate the
PTO, when full PTO power is needed, it may be an advantage to increase the
SMCR power as in example 4, if high ratios of PTO power are to be available.
Especially if full utilisation of the PTO power is foreseen for the major part of
the operational time.

Example 7: Utilisation of PTO option 2 for EEDI on an LPG carrier

The following two examples consider the application and impact of applying
PTO option 2 for EEDI. Consider an LPG carrier with a 6G60ME-C10.5-LGIP
engine with:
▪ SMCR of 11,200 kW at 90 rpm
▪ 10% propeller light running margin
▪ PTO with 2,070 kWe power
▪ Considering a 90% efficiency, this results in: PPTO = 2,300 kW mechanic
load.
This example covers the basics of what is shown in the previous Fig. 2.03.06.
The SMCR of 11,200 kW and PPTO = 2,300 kW implies that:
PLIM, propulsion = PSMCR - PPTO = 11,200 - 2,300 = 8,900 kW
Whereby, PME used in the EEDI calculation is:
PME, opt. 2 = 0.75 x PLIM, propulsion = 6,675 kW
This can be compared to the value attained by applying option 1:
PME, opt. 1 = 0.75 x (PSMCR - PPTO)

↕
PME, opt. 1 = 0.75 x (PSMCR - PAE / 0.75) = 0.75 x (11,200 - 530 / 0.75 ) = 7,870
kW
Example 8: Utilisation of PTO option 2 for EEDI on a Kamsarmax (82k dwt) bulk carrier
Consider a Kamsarmax bulk carrier with a 6S60ME-C10.5 engine with: 2.03 Engine layout and load diagram
▪ SMCR in L4 of 9,000 kW at 84 rpm
▪ 7% propeller light running margin
▪ PTO with 900 kWe power, a replacement for one of the typically three
auxiliary engines
▪ Considering a 90% efficiency, this results in PPTO = 1,000 kW mechanic
2024-02-16 - en
load.
The SMCR of 9,000 kW and PPTO = 1,000 kW imply that:
PLIM, propulsion = PSMCR - PPTO = 9,000 - 1,000 = 8,000 kW
PME, opt. 2 = 0.75 x PLIM, propulsion = 6,000 kW
All engines 29 (32)

This can be compared to the value attained by applying option 1:

PME, opt. 1 = 0.75 x (PSMCR - PPTO)
↕
PME, opt. 1 = 0.75 x (PSMCR - PAE / 0.75) = 0.75 x (9,000 - 450 / 0.75 ) = 6,300 kW
If the vessel had to attain the same EEDI as per PTO option 2 for EEDI without
the PTO, the SMCR of the engine should be approx. 8,000 kW. However, this
rating would imply a change of engine selection to a 5S60ME-C10.5 with
SMCR of 8,000 kW at 84 rpm.
Fig. 2.03.18 shows the difference between limitations for continuous loading
for these two different ratings, when applying the same absolute propeller with
a light running margin of 7% to the original SMCR.

SMCR of 9,000 kW at 84 rpm relative to an SMCR of 8,000 kW at 84 rpm. By

applying PTO option 2 for EEDI for the high SMCR, it is possible to attain the
same EEDI value as for the low SMCR without PTO.
Furthermore, it illustrates that by applying PTO option 2 for EEDI, it is possible
to apply an engine with a higher rating than otherwise applicable. This would
enable a higher torque for the same EEDI value as without PTO, thereby en-
suring that there is a good margin for operation of the PTO in calm waters and
less ideal conditions alike. This allows for a high utilisation rate of the PTO in
service to the benefit of the overall plant efficiency. In this specific example,
the derating extent for the 6S60ME-C10.5 engine is furthermore greater than
for the 5S60ME-C10.5 engine, resulting in a lower SFOC.

SFOC guarantee
The SFOC guarantee refers to the above ISO reference conditions, the lower
calorific values, and is valid for one running point only.
The energy efficiency design index (EEDI) has increased the focus on partload
SFOC. We therefore offer the option of selecting the SFOC guarantee at a
load point in the range between 50% and 100%, EoD: 4 02 002.
All engine design criteria, for example heat load, bearing load and mechanical
stresses on the construction, are defined at 100% load, independent of the
guarantee point selected. This means that turbocharger matching, engine ad-
justment and engine load calibration must also be performed at 100% load,
independent of the guarantee point. At 100% load, the tolerances are com-
pensated for by matching, adjustment and calibration, the SFOC tolerance is
5%.
When choosing an SFOC guarantee below 100%, the tolerances will affect
engine running at the lower SFOC guarantee load point. This includes toler-
ances on measurement equipment, engine process control, and turbocharger
performance.
Consequently, the SFOC guarantee depends on the selected guarantee point,
and it s given with a tolerance of:
Engine load SFOC tolerance

100 - 85% 5%
<85 - 65% 6%
<65 - 50% 7%

Cooling water temperature during normal operation

In general, it is recommended to operate the main engine with the lowest pos-
sible cooling water temperature to the air coolers, as this will reduce the fuel
consumption of the engine and improve the engine performance.
When operating with 36°C cooling water temperature setpoint instead of, for
example, 10°C (to the air coolers), the SFOC will increase by approx. 2 g/
kWh.
With a lower cooling water temperature, the air cooler and water mist catcher
will remove more water from the compressed scavenge air. This has a posit-
ive effect on the cylinder condition as the humidity level in the combustion
gasses is lowered, and the tendency to condensation of acids on the cylinder
liner is thereby reduced.
Derating for lower specific fuel oil consumption
Fig. 2.05.01: Layout diagram showing MEP derating along L1-L2 (reduced
SFOC) and power and speed derating along L1-L3 (SFOC is unchanged)
The ratio between the maximum firing pressure (Pmax) and the mean effective
pressure (MEP) is influences the efficiency of a combustion engine. If the Pmax/
MEP ratio is increased, the SFOC will be reduced.
The engine is designed to withstand a certain Pmax and this Pmax is utilised by
the engine control system when other constraints do not apply.
The maximum MEP can be chosen in a range of values defined by the layout
2023-01-18 - en
diagram of the engine, and it is therefore possible to specify a reduced MEP

to achieve a reduced SFOC. This concept is known as MEP derating or
simply derating, see Fig. 2.05.01.
If the layout point is moved parallel to the constant MEP lines, SFOC is not re-
duced, see Fig. 2.05.01.

Engine choices when derating

Due to requirements to ship speed and possibly shaft generator power out-
put, derating is often not achieved by reducing MCR power. Instead, if al-
lowed under the EEDI, a larger engine is selected to be able to choose a
lower MEP rating, for example an engine of the same type but with an extra
cylinder.
Derating reduces the overall SFOC level. The actual SFOC for a project will
also depend on other parameters such as:
▪ Engine tuning method
▪ Engine running mode (Tier II, Tier III)
▪ Operating curve (fixed pitch propeller, controllable pitch propeller)
▪ Actual engine load
▪ Ambient conditions.
The actual SFOC for an engine can be found using the CEAS application
available at www.man-es.com --> 'Planning Tools & Downloads' --> 'CEAS
Engines Calculations'
It is possible to use CEAS to investigate the effect of derating for a particular
engine by running CEAS for different engine ratings, for example the L1 rating
(not MEP derated) and the L2 rating (fully MEP derated). This information can
be used in the initial design work where the basic layout of the propulsion
plant is decided.
Example of SFOC curves

Fig. 2.05.02 shows examples of SFOC curves for high-load tuning, part-load
(EGB-PL) and low-load (EGB-LL) exhaust gas bypass tuning for a tier II engine
operating with a fixed pitch propeller.
2023-01-18 - en
Fig. 2.05.02: Influence on SFOC from engine tuning method and actual en-
gine load
As an example, Fig. 2.05.02 illustrates the relative changes in SFOC due to
the engine tuning method and the engine load. The graphs in this figure are
only examples. Use CEAS to get actual project values.
Tier III engines do not offer the option for load tuning while in tier II mode, as
the parameters controlling the combustion process are already fixed in order
to meet both Tier II and Tier III demands.

Fuel consumption in an arbitrary operating point

Once the specified MCR (M) of the engine has been chosen, the specific fuel
oil consumption in an arbitrary point S1, S2 or S3, can be estimated based on
the SFOC in points ‘1’ and ‘2’. See Fig. 2.06.01.
The SFOC values in points ‘1’ and ‘2’ can be found by using our CEAS ap-
plication, for the propeller curve I and for the constant speed curve II, giving
the SFOC in points 1 and 2, respectively. See section 20.02.
Next the SFOC for point S1 can be calculated as an interpolation between the
SFOC in points ‘1’ and ‘2’, and for point S3 as an extrapolation.
The SFOC curve through points S2, on the left of point 1, is symmetric with re-
spect to point 1. It means that at speeds lower than that of point 1, the SFOC
will also increase.
The above-mentioned method provides only an approximate value. A more
precise indication of the expected SFOC at any load can be calculated. This is
a service which is available to our customers on request. Contact MAN En-
ergy Solutions, Copenhagen at [email protected].

Turbocharger selection
General
Updated turbocharger data based on the latest information from the tur-
bocharger makers are available from the Turbocharger selection program on
www.man-es.com --> 'Turbocharger selection'.
The data specified in the printed edition are valid at the time of publishing.
The MAN B&W engines are designed for the application of either MAN,
Accelleron or MHI turbochargers.
The turbocharger choice is made with a view to obtaining the lowest possible
Specific fuel oil consumption (SFOC) values at the nominal MCR by applying
high efficiency turbochargers.
The engines are, as standard, equipped with as few turbochargers as pos-
sible, see Table 3.01.01 & 3.01.02.
One more turbocharger can be applied, than the number stated in the tables,
if this is desirable due to space requirements, or for other reasons. Additional
costs are to be expected.
However, we recommend the ‘Turbocharger selection’ program on the Inter-
net, which can be used to identify a list of applicable turbochargers for a spe-
cific engine layout.
For information about turbocharger arrangement and cleaning systems, see
Section 15.01.

Climate conditions and exhaust gas bypass
Extreme Ambient Conditions

As mentioned in Chapter 1, the engine power figures are valid for tropical
conditions at sea level: 45°C air at 1,000 mbar and 32°C seawater, whereas
the reference fuel consumption is given at ISO conditions: 25°C air at 1,000
mbar and 25°C charge air coolant temperature.
Marine diesel engines are, however, exposed to greatly varying climatic tem-
peratures winter and summer in arctic as well as tropical areas. These vari-
ations cause changes of the scavenge air pressure, the maximum combustion
pressure, the exhaust gas amount and temperatures as well as the specific
fuel oil consumption.
For further information about the possible countermeasures, please refer to
our publication titled:
Influence of Ambient Temperature Conditions
The publication is available at www.man-es.com → ‘Marine’ → ‘Products’ →
‘Planning Tools and Downloads’ → ’Technical Papers’.
Arctic Running Condition

For air inlet temperatures below -10°C the precautions to be taken depend
very much on the operating profile of the vessel. The following alternative is
one of the possible countermeasures. The selection of countermeasures,
however, must be evaluated in each individual case.
3.02 Climate conditions and exhaust gas bypass

Exhaust Gas Receiver with Variable Bypass
Option: 4 60 118
Compensation for low ambient temperature can be obtained by using exhaust
gas bypass system.
This arrangement ensures that only part of the exhaust gas goes via the tur-
bine of the turbocharger, thus supplying less energy to the compressor which,
in turn, reduces the air supply to the engine.
Please note that if an exhaust gas bypass is applied, the turbocharger size
and specification has to be determined by other means than stated in this
Chapter.

IMO Tier II NOx emission limits

As standard, all ME, ME-B and ME-C/-GI/-GA engines fulfill the IMO Tier II
NOx emission requirements, a speed-dependent NOx limit measured
according to ISO 8178 Test Cycles E2/E3 for Heavy Duty Diesel Engines.
The E2/E3 test cycles are referred to in the Extent of Delivery as EoD: 4 06
200 Economy mode with the options: 4 06 201 Engine test cycle E3, or 4 06
202 Engine test cycle E2.
NOx reduction methods for IMO Tier III

As adopted by IMO for future enforcement, the engine must fulfil the more re-
strictive IMO Tier III NOx requirements when sailing in a NOx emission control
area (NECA).
The Tier III NOx requirements can be met by exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a
method which directly affects the combustion process by lowering the gener-
ation of NOx.
Alternatively, the required NOx level could be met by installing a selective cata-
lytic reduction (SCR) system, an aftertreatment system that reduces the emis-
sion of NOx already generated in the combustion process.
ME-GA engines which operate on gas supplied at low pressure during the
compression (Otto process) also comply with Tier III NOx requirements. The
engine is configured as an EGR engine which utilises the EGR process to pre-
vent knocking and to suppress the methane slip. When operating in fuel oil
mode, the engine operates according to the diesel process and applies the
EGR for Tier II and III compliance.
Details of MAN Energy Solutions' NOx reduction methods for IMO Tier III can
be found in our publication:

Electricity production and hybrid solutions
Introduction
Hotel load and other electric consumptions are significant fuel consumers on
a vessel, second only to propulsion power. It is consistently necessary to pro-
duce most, if not all, of the electricity on board due to the long voyages. The
following machinery produces, running either alone or in parallel, the required
electricity:
1. Auxiliary diesel or dual-fuel generating sets
2. Main engine driven generators
3. Exhaust gas or steam driven turbo generators using exhaust gas waste
heat
4. Emergency diesel generating sets
5. Marine battery systems
6. Solar cells
The machinery installed should be selected based on the environmental im-
pact, and an economic evaluation of first cost, operating costs, spare part
costs, and the demand for work hours for maintenance.
The following sections give technical information about main engine driven
generators (power take-off), different PTO configurations with exhaust gas
and steam driven turbo generators, and auxiliary diesel generating sets pro-
duced by MAN Energy Solutions
Power take-off
4.01 Electricity production and hybrid solutions

A generator coupled to a power take-off (PTO) from the main engine enables
production of electrical power based on the main engine’s low specific fuel oil
and gas consumption (SFOC/SGC). As of 2020, the use of a PTO solution
has a positive effect on the attained EEDI, which can be evaluated according
to IMO rules. The PTO maximum service power should be evaluated regard-
ing two independent aspects:
1. Thermal overload of the engine and
2. Rpm stability/load change capability of the engine.
MAN Energy Solutions has developed guidelines to assist you with the layout
of systems with PTO. See the next paragraph ‘PTO maximum service power’
to assess thermal overload. Refer to section 17.06 ‘Governor stability evalu-
ation for special propulsion plants’ for evaluation of the rpm stability/load
2021-09-21 - en
change capability of the engine. Several standardised PTO systems are avail-
able; see the paragraph ‘Designation’ later in this chapter.
All engines 1 (8)

PTO maximum service power

This document refers to the electrical output of the PTO as PTOE, the mech-
anical input to the PTO from the engine as PTOM and the PTO efficiency as
ηPTO. They are related according to the following law:
PTOE
PTOM = _____
ηPTO
Fig. 4.01.01 shows an example of maximum PTO service power (not neces-
sarily rated power) provided by the PTO maker, that is, how much power is
available for the specific machinery in the speed range. PM is the maximum
selected power of the PTO, and nM the maximum selected speed. PM cannot
coincide with the SMCR power of the engine, but nM can, though it is not al-
ways the case.
The designed maximum service power must observe the guideline of MAN
Energy Solutions. It means that the maximum service power must be within
the boundaries given by the light propeller curve and the PTO layout limit, see
section 2.03 ‘Engine Layout and Load Diagram’.
Due to the general shape of the PTO layout limit and the PTO characteristics,
it is sufficient to verify each corner of the operating range with equation 1,
equation 2, and equation 3 to avoid thermal overload. In Fig. 4.01.01, those
corners are located at 52.5%, 70%, and 100% of the engine speed.

PSMCR and nSMCR is the power, and the engine speed of rotation at the SMCR
point, respectively. n is the specific engine speed of rotation at which the
mechanical PTO power is generated, LRM is the propeller light running mar-
gin, and EMP the engine margin for PTO operation (the minimum recommen-
ded margin is 5%).

Designation
A PTO system can be designed in different way. MAN Energy Solutions cat-
egorises a design according to two classifications: engine-to-generator and
generator-to-grid.
The engine-to-generator classification relates to the position of the PTO sys-
tem, and the connection between the engine and the system. The generator-
to-grid classification relates to the frequency of the power fed to the grid, and
the systems between the generator and the grid.
The generator-to-grid classification relates to:
1. The frequency of the power fed to the grid but also to
2. The type of/composition of the systems between the generator and the
grid.
Two positions are available on the engine for the installation of a PTO system:
the aft end (towards the propeller) and the front end. Side-mounted systems
are currently not available. Front-end mounted generators can be mounted
on-engine or on-tank-top.
They can be connected either using an elastic coupling or directly coupled to
the crankshaft. Aft-end mounted generators are mounted either on the shaft
or through a tunnel-gear. Fig. 4.01.02 illustrates the options. It is important to
note that some of the PTO solutions might not be commercially available de-
pending on engine bore size
2021-09-21 - en
Fig. 4.01.02: PTO layout
4 (8) All engines

The fluctuations in the frequency of the output electric current generated by

the shaft generator are proportional to the variation of the engine speed of ro-
tation that occurs during normal operation. Most of the electric equipment
cannot withstand large fluctuations of the current's frequency. As a result, the
system is either limited to a range in which the PTO can be operated, or a fre-
quency control system must be included.
Therefore, MAN Energy Solutions has defined two categories for PTO fre-
quency types, or generator-to-grid systems (Fig. 4.01.03). The first category is
systems with a frequency converter, and the second category is systems with
synchronous frequency. The latter has a possible sub-designation of floating
frequency (Fig. 4.01.04), which is further explained in ‘Floating Frequency Sys-
tem’.

Similarity between old and new PTO designations

tems. For this reason, Fig. 4.01.06 shows the relation between old and new
designations. The figure also shows how RENK’s systems are designated.

Floating frequency systems
If most of the electrical equipment is suited for a supply with varying fre-
quency, for example between 50 - 60 Hz, a PTO/SF configuration can be the
economically and technically best solution. It consists of a constant gear ratio,
that is, the frequency follows the engine speed. However, the PTO will be able
to generate the required electricity within an engine load range of approxim-
ately 52% to 90% (80% to 97% of the SMCR speed). For the limited part of
equipment, which requires a fixed frequency, a smaller frequency converter
can be used.
Bulk carriers, tankers, and other vessels with low variations in cruise speed
will obtain the following advantages:
▪ It is simple and thereby reliable
▪ Simple electrical system
▪ Highest possible efficiency (approximately 95%)
▪ Relatively cheap.
▪ Lower electrical power consumption at part load due to the lower speed.
This will also function as an optimisation of auxiliary systems, since the re-
quired power automatically reduces at lower engine loads, whereas in a
normal system, the power required by auxiliary systems is constant.
On the other hand, parallel running of an auxiliary engine and the PTO system
is not possible with such systems, since it requires a frequency converter.
The installation of a PTO/SF system is restricted to a certain speed range, but
most likely, a speed range can be chosen according to the most typical en-
gine operating range. The electric equipment must be evaluated to establish
the correct dimensioning. As an example, the main engine lube oil pumps
must be dimensioned for the required flow at 50 Hz. Therefore, it is recom-

mended to use a centrifugal lube oil pump.

Power take-off solutions supplied by RENK

PTO maker and supplier, RENK, provides two specific solutions: An integ-
rated front-end solution and a tunnel gearbox solution. These systems have
different layouts and characteristics. This chapter uses these as examples of
what is to be expected in the extent of delivery (EoD).
RENK IFPS© (Integrated Front-end Power System)

Fig. 1 shows the RENK IFPS. It features from one up to four generators con-
nected to the crankshaft via a single-step gearbox. The high-ratio gearbox is
designed for limited engine room space, and mounted on the engine fore end
without an additional foundation.
The IFPS system has been developed in cooperation with the German gear-
box manufacturer RENK. As standard, it is available for PTO powers of 500,
1000, 1500 and 2000 kW. The intermediate shaft is mounted directly on the
crankshaft and its gearbox housing is bolted on to a strengthened front-end
cover. The system is even compatible with a tuning wheel if required by tor-
sional vibration conditions. As an option, an angle encoder can be mounted
on the gearbox front side.

The IFPS is designed for operation with full output PTO-power between 100%
and 70% specified speed, and with reduced power down to 50% of the en-
gine speed at specified MCR (see Fig. 2).

An IGBT active infeed converter provides the constant grid frequency. The
system can supply reactive power to the electric mains without a synchronous
condenser, and causes negligible harmonics to the grid.

With a small modification, the IFPS can be operated both as a generator

(PTO) and as a motor (PTI).
RENK MARHY© as auxiliary propulsion system/take-home system

Special applications require an auxiliary propulsion system/take-home system
capable of driving the propeller by using the shaft generator as an electric mo-
tor.
MAN Energy Solutions can provide a solution where the propeller is driven by
the alternator via a tunnel gearbox (RENK MARHY©). A number of gensets
produce the electric power for the propulsion mode.

The main engine is disengaged by a clutch (RENK PSC) which is made as an
integral part of the shafting. The clutch is installed between the tunnel gearbox
and the main engine. Torque transmission will be switched by a hydraulically
engaged backlash-free conical toothing. Equipped with a fully automatic PSC,
the RENK MARHY© system can quickly establish auxiliary propulsion, and
switch back to PTO operation from the engine control room and/or the
bridge, even with an unmanned engine room. The built-in thrust bearing trans-
fers the propulsion propeller thrust to the engine thrust bearing in both operat-
ing modes. In disengaged condition, a pair of sleeve bearings transmit the
bending moments and shear forces within the propeller shaft line.
To minimise the required power for auxiliary propulsion mode, a two-speed
tunnel gearbox can be used, which provides lower propeller speed, and thus
higher propeller efficiency in auxiliary propulsion mode.

Steps for obtaining approval of a PTO solution

MAN Energy Solutions frequently receives enquiries about the different PTO
solutions described in Section 4.01. To facilitate the process of getting a pro-
ject approved, follow the necessary steps described here:
1. PTO layout guidance.
The sizing of the PTO generator must adhere to the layout guide from
MAN Energy Solutions. The guide stipulates the maximum PTO mechan-
ical power from the main engine in relation to the SMCR chosen. Sections
2.03 and 4.01 describe this in detail.
2. Governor stability evaluation for special propulsion plants (17.06)
When a PTO generator is connected to the ship’s electrical grid, it be-
comes important to evaluate whether the power management system and
the main engine can cope with the frequency converter’s inhered negative
damping on rpm stability. The sizing of the PTO generator must fulfil the
criteria of MAN Energy Solutions to prevent insufficient stability of the sys-
tem. Furthermore, MAN Energy Solutions can provide interface docu-
mentation for the connection between the main engine control system
and the ship’s power management system. For more information, see
Section (17.06).
3. Torsional vibration.
The entire propulsion train: Main engine, shafting, propeller, and PTO,
must fulfil class rules concerning torsional (and axial) vibrations. This must
be evaluated in each individual case, because every case deviates from
the other. If required, MAN Energy Solutions can assist with the analysis.
Otherwise, it is normally a matter of shipyard responsibility. It might be re-
4.03 Steps for obtaining approval of a PTO solution

quired, sometimes that a torsional vibration damper is installed.
4. Specifically for main engine front-end mounted PTO solutions.
For front-end mounted PTO solutions such as RENK IFPS or HHI EMG,
the interface between the main engine front end and the PTO system
must be identified to determine the scope of delivery together with that of
the main engine, and the PTO solution. The result of the torsional analysis
can involve installation of large tuning wheels and/or torsional dampers,
which will affect the scope of delivery. This can necessitate the installation
of an extra bearing on the main engine side to cope with the weight of
these parts. Be aware that such cases differ from one another, and that
MAN Energy Solutions can assist in the evaluation of whether direct
mounted PTO solutions can be accepted or not.
We strongly recommend that shipyards involve MAN Energy Solutions in the
design phase of a new ship with a PTO solution. It is important to choose the
2021-09-21 - en
correct PTO size compared to the main engine size, and to comply with the
IMO EEDI rules. Figs. 1–4 show examples of different PTO solutions.

Waste heat recovery systems (WHRS)
General
Due to the increasing fuel prices seen from 2004 and onwards many
shipowners have shown interest in efficiency improvements of the power sys-
tems on board their ships. A modern two-stroke diesel engine has one of the
highest thermal efficiencies of today’s power systems, but even this high effi-
ciency can be improved by combining the diesel engine with other power sys-
tems.
One of the possibilities for improving the efficiency is to install one or more
systems utilising some of the energy in the exhaust gas after the two-stroke
engine, which in MAN Energy Solutions terms is designated as WHRS (Waste
Heat Recovery Systems).
WHRS can be divided into different types of subsystems, depending on how
the system utilises the exhaust gas energy. Choosing the right system for a
specific project depends on the electricity demand on board the ship and the
acceptable first cost for the complete installation. MAN Energy Solutions uses
the following designations for the current systems on the market:
• PTG (Power Turbine Generator):

An exhaust gas driven turbine connected to a generator via a gearbox.
• STG (Steam Turbine Generator):

A steam driven turbine connected to a generator via a gearbox. The steam is
produced in a large exhaust gas driven boiler installed on the main engine ex-
haust gas piping system.
• Combined Turbines:
A combination of the two first systems. The arrangement is often that the
power turbine is connected to the steam turbine via a gearbox and the steam
4.05 Waste heat recovery systems (WHRS)

turbine is further connected to a large generator, which absorbs the power
from both turbines.
The PTG system will produce power equivalent to approx. 3.5% of the main
engine SMCR, when the engine is running at SMCR. For the STG system this
value is between 5 and 7% depending on the system installed. When combin-
ing the two systems, a power output equivalent to 10% of the main engine’s
SMCR is possible, when the engine is running at SMCR.
The WHRS output depends on the main engine rating and whether service
steam consumption must be deducted or not.
As the electrical power produced by the system needs to be used on board
the ship, specifying the correct size system for a specific project must be con-
sidered carefully. In cases where the electrical power consumption on board
the ship is low, a smaller system than possible for the engine type may be
considered. Another possibility is to install a shaft generator/motor to absorb
excess power produced by the WHRS. The main engine will then be un-
loaded, or it will be possible to increase the speed of the ship, without penal-
ising the fuel bill.
Because the energy from WHRS is taken from the exhaust gas of the main
engine, this power produced can be considered as ”free”. In reality, the main
engine SFOC will increase slightly, but the gain in electricity production on
board the ship will far surpass this increase in SFOC. As an example, the
G95ME-C10.6, G80ME-C10.5/.6/-GI 1 (10)

SFOC of the combined output of both the engine and the system with power
and steam turbine can be calculated to be as low as 152 g/kWh (ref. LCV
42,700 kJ/kg).
Power turbine generator (PTG)

Fig. 4.05.01: PTG diagram

The power turbines of today are based on the different turbocharger suppli-
ers’ newest designs of high efficiency turbochargers, i.e. MAN TCA, ABB A-L
and Mitsubishi MET turbochargers.
MAN Energy Solutions offers PTG solutions called TCS-PTG in the range from
approx. 1,000 kW to 5,000 kW, see Fig. 4.05.02.
The power turbine basically is the turbine side of a normal high-efficient tur-
bocharger with some modifications to the bearings and the turbine shaft. This
is in order to be able to connect it to a gearbox instead of the normal connec-
tion to the compressor side. The power turbine will be installed on a separate
exhaust gas pipe from the exhaust gas receiver, which bypasses the tur-
bochargers.
The performance of the PTG and the main engine will depend on a careful
matching of the engine turbochargers and the power turbine, for which
reason the turbocharger/s and the power turbine need to be from the same
manufacturer. In Fig. 4.05.01, a diagram of the PTG arrangement is shown.
The newest generation of high efficiency turbochargers allows bypassing of
some of the main engine exhaust gas, thereby creating a new balance of the
air flow through the engine. In this way, it is possible to extract power from the
power turbine equivalent to 3.5% of the main engine’s SMCR, when the en-
gine is running at SMCR.

Steam turbine generator (STG)
Fig. 4.05.03: STG system diagram

In most cases the exhaust gas pipe system of the main engine is equipped
with a boiler system. With this boiler, some of the energy in the exhaust gas is
utilised to produce steam for use on board the ship.
If the engine is WHR matched, the exhaust gas temperature will be between
50°C and 65°C higher than on a conventional engine, which makes it possible
to install a larger boiler system and, thereby, produce more steam. In short,
MAN Energy Solutions designates this system STG. Fig. 4.05.03 shows an
example of the STG diagram.
For WHR matching the engine, a bypass is installed to increase the temperat-
ure of the exhaust gas and improve the boiler output. The bypass valve is
controlled by the engine control system.
The extra steam produced in the boiler can be utilised in a steam turbine,
which can be used to drive a generator for power production on board the
ship. A STG system could be arranged as shown in Fig. 4.05.04, where a typ-
ical system size is shown with the outline dimensions.
The steam turbine can either be a single or dual pressure turbine, depending
on the size of the system. Steam pressure for a single pressure system is 7 to
10 bar, and for the dual pressure system the high-pressure cycle will be 9 to
10 bar and the low-pressure cycle will be 4 to 5 bar.

Full WHRS steam and power turbines combined
Fig. 4.05.05: Full WHRS with both steam and power turbines
Because the installation of the power turbine also will result in an increase of
the exhaust gas temperature after the turbochargers, it is possible to install
both the power turbine, the larger boiler and steam turbine on the same en-
gine. This way, the energy from the exhaust gas is utilised in the best way
possible by today’s components.

When looking at the system with both power and steam turbine, quite often
the power turbine and the steam turbine are connected to the same gener-
ator. In some cases, it is also possible to have each turbine on a separate
generator. This is, however, mostly seen on stationary engines, where the fre-
quency control is simpler because of the large grid to which the generator is
coupled.
For marine installations the power turbine is, in most cases, connected to the
steam turbine via a gearbox, and the steam turbine is then connected to the
generator. It is also possible to have a generator with connections in both
ends, and then connect the power turbine in one end and the steam turbine in
the other. In both cases control of one generator only is needed.
For dimensions of a typical full WHRS see Fig. 4.05.06.
As mentioned, the systems with steam turbines require a larger boiler to be in-
stalled. The size of the boiler system will be considerably bigger than the size
of an ordinary boiler system, and the actual boiler size has to be calculated
from case to case. Casing space for the exhaust boiler must be reserved in
the initial planning of the ship’s machinery spaces.

Waste heat recovery element and safety valve

The boiler water or steam for power generator is preheated in the Waste Heat
Recovery (WHR) element, also called the first-stage air cooler.
The WHR element is typically built as a high-pressure water/steam heat ex-
changer which is placed on top of the scavenge air cooler, see Fig. 4.05.07.
Full water flow must be passed through the WHR element continuously when
the engine is running. This must be considered in the layout of the steam feed
water system (the WHR element supply heating). Refer to our ‘WHR element
specification’ which is available from MAN Energy Solutions, Copenhagen.

G95ME-C10.6, G80ME-C10.5/.6/-GI 9 (10)

Safety valve and blow-Off

In normal operation, the temperature and pressure of the WHR element is in
the range of 140-150°C and 8-21 bar respectively.
In order to prevent leaking components from causing personal injuries or
damage to vital parts of the main engine, a safety relief valve will blow off ex-
cess pressure. The safety relief valve is connected to an external connection,
‘W’, see Fig. 4.05.08.
Connection ‘W’ must be passed to the funnel or another free space according
to the class rules for steam discharge from safety valve.
As the system is pressurised according to class rules, the safety valve must
be type approved.

Space requirements and overhaul
General
The latest version of the Installation Drawings of this section is available for
download at www.marine.man-es.com--> 'Two -Stroke' --> 'Installation
Drawings'. Specify engine and accept the ‘Conditions for use’ before clicking
on ‘Download Drawings’.
Space requirements for the engine

The space requirements stated in Section 5.02 are valid for engines rated at
nominal MCR (L1).
The additional space needed for engines equipped with PTO is stated in
Chapter 4.
If, during the project stage, the outer dimensions of the turbocharger seem to
cause problems, it is possible, for the same number of cylinders, to use tur-
bochargers with smaller dimensions by increasing the indicated number of
turbochargers by one, see Chapter 3.
Overhaul of engine
The distances stated from the centre of the crankshaft to the crane hook are
for the normal lifting procedure and the reduced height lifting procedure (in-
volving tilting of main components). The lifting capacity of a normal engine
room crane can be found in Fig. 5.04.01.
The area covered by the engine room crane shall be wide enough to reach
any heavy spare part required in the engine room.
A lower overhaul height is, however, available by using the MAN B&W
Double”Jib crane, built by Danish Crane Building A/S, shown in Figs. 5.04.02
and 5.04.03.
5.01 Space requirements and overhaul

Please note that the distance ‘E’ in Fig. 5.02.01, given for a double”jib crane is
from the centre of the crankshaft to the lower edge of the deck beam.
A special crane beam for dismantling the turbocharger must be fitted. The lift-
ing capacity of the crane beam for dismantling the turbocharger is stated in
Section 5.03.
The overhaul tools for the engine are designed to be used with a crane hook
according to DIN 15400, June 1990, material class M and load capacity 1Am
and dimensions of the single hook type according to DIN 15401, part 1.
2023-09-12 - en
The total length of the engine at the crankshaft level may vary depending on
the equipment to be fitted on the fore end of the engine, such as adjustable
counterweights, tuning wheel, moment compensators or PTO.

Crane beam requirements - turbocharger and air cooler
General
If the travelling area of the engine room crane covers the recommended area
in the Engine Room Crane drawing, Fig. 5.04.01, crane beams can be omit-
ted for the overhaul of turbocharger. If not, a crane beam with trolleys is re-
quired at each end of the turbocharger(s).
Crane beam and trolleys

Two trolleys are to be available at the compressor end and one trolley is
needed at the gas inlet end:
▪ Crane beam no. 1 is for dismantling of turbocharger components
▪ Crane beam no. 2 is for transporting turbocharger components
as indicated in Figs. 5.03.01 and 5.03.02.
Lifting capacity
The crane beams are used and dimensioned for lifting the following compon-
ents:
▪ Exhaust gas inlet casing
▪ Turbocharger inlet silencer
5.03 Crane beam requirements - turbocharger and air

▪ Compressor casing
▪ Turbine rotor with bearings.
The crane beams are to be placed in relation to the turbocharger(s) so that
the components around the gas outlet casing can be removed in connection
with overhaul of the turbocharger(s).
The crane beam can be bolted to brackets that are fastened to the ship struc-
ture or to columns that are located on the top platform of the engine.
The lifting capacity of the crane beam for the heaviest component ‘W’, is in-
dicated in table 5.03.01 for the various turbocharger makes and types.
The crane beam shall be dimensioned for lifting the weight ‘W’ with a deflec-
tion of some 5 mm only.
Relative position of the crane hook

HB indicates the position of the crane hook in the vertical plane related to the
2024-03-29 - en
centre of the turbocharger. HB and b also specifies the minimum space for
dismantling.
For engines with the turbocharger(s) located on the exhaust side, EoD: 4 59
122, the letter ‘a’ indicates the distance between vertical centrelines of the en-
gine and the turbocharger.

Engine room cranes - requirements and applications
General
For the main engine components the crane hook travelling area must cover at
minimum the full length of the engine and a width in accordance with dimen-
sion A given on the drawing The crane hook should at minimum be able to
reach down to a level corresponding to the centre line of the crankshaft.
It is recommended, (see cross-hatched area) in order also to cover overhaul
of turbocharger(S), air coolers, EGR component, SCR component, etc., that
the crane hook travelling area covers at minimum the full length of the engine
and a width to the centre line of the before mentioned components.
If the crane hook travelling area is not covering the recommended area, trolley
mounted chain hoists must be installed on separate crane beams or, alternat-
ively, in combination with the engine room crane structure for the before men-
tioned components. See separate drawing with information about the re-
quired lifting capacity for overhaul of turbochargers.
The recommended area is also covering that the engine room crane can be
used for transport of heavy spare parts from the engine room hatch to the en-
gine. The placement of heavy spare parts and the engine room hatch are for
guidance only
5.04 Engine room cranes - requirements and applications
G80ME-C10.5/-GI 1 (5)
1) The lifting tools for the engine are designed to fit together with a standard crane hook with a lifting
capacity in accordance with the figure stated in the table. If a larger crane hook is used, it may not fit
directly to the overhaul tools, and the use of an intermediate shackle or similar between the lifting tool
and the crane hook will affect the requirements for the minimum lifting height in the engine room
(dimension H1).
2) The hatched area shows the height where an MAN B&W Double-Jib Crane has to be used.
3) MDT crane interval is the following in ton:
Normal crane : 0.63, 1.0, 1.25, 2.0, 3.2, 4.0, 5.0, 6.3, 8.0, 10.0 & 12.5
MAN B&W Double-Jib crane: 2 x 0.5, 2 x 1.0, 2 x 1.6, 2 x 2.0, 2 x 2.5, 2 x 3.0, 2 x 4.0,
2 x 5.0 & 2 x 6.3
If a larger or smaller crane capacity than specified is used, we recommend to use a crane with
minimum capacity corresponding to the heaviest component +5% or max +200 kg.

Engine top bracing
General
The so-called guide force moments are caused by the transverse reaction
forces acting on the crossheads due to the connecting rod and crankshaft
mechanism. When the piston of a cylinder is not exactly in its top or bottom
position the gas force from the combustion, transferred through the connect-
ing rod, will have a component acting on the crosshead and the crankshaft
perpendicularly to the axis of the cylinder. Its resultant is acting on the guide
shoe and together they form a guide force moment.
The moments may excite engine vibrations moving the engine top athwart
ships and causing a rocking (excited by H-moment) or twisting (excited by X-
moment) movement of the engine. For engines with less than seven cylinders,
this guide force moment tends to rock the engine in the transverse direction,
and for engines with seven cylinders or more, it tends to twist the engine.
The guide force moments are harmless to the engine except when resonance
vibrations occur in the engine/double bottom system. They may, however,
cause annoying vibrations in the superstructure and/or engine room, if proper
countermeasures are not taken.
As a detailed calculation of this system is normally not available, MAN Energy
Solutions recommends that top bracing is installed between the engine’s up-
per platform brackets and the casing side.
However, the top bracing is not needed in all cases. In some cases the vibra-
tion level is lower if the top bracing is not installed. This has normally to be
checked by measurements, i.e. with and without top bracing.
If a vibration measurement in the first vessel of a series shows that the vibra-
tion level is acceptable without the top bracing, we have no objection to the
top bracing being removed and the rest of the series produced without top
bracing. It is our experience that especially the 7-cylinder engine will often
have a lower vibration level without top bracing.
Without top bracing, the natural frequency of the vibrating system comprising
engine, ship’s bottom, and ship’s side is often so low that resonance with the
excitation source (the guide force moment) can occur close to the normal
speed range, resulting in the risk of vibration.
With top bracing, such a resonance will occur above the normal speed range,
as the natural frequencies of the double bottom/main engine system will in-
crease. The impact of vibration is thus lowered.
The top bracing system is installed either as a mechanical top bracing (typic-
5.13 Engine top bracing
2023-12-11 - en
ally on smaller engine types) or a hydraulic top bracing (typically on larger en-
gine types). Both systems are described below.
The top bracing is normally installed on the exhaust side of the engine, but hy-
draulic top bracing can alternatively be installed on the manoeuvring side. A
combination of exhaust side and manoeuvring side installation of hydraulic top
bracing is also possible.
All engines 1 (3)

Mechanical top bracing

The mechanical top bracing comprises stiff connections between the engine
and the hull.
The top bracing stiffener consists of a double bar tightened with friction shims
at each end of the mounting positions. The friction shims allow the top bra-
cing stiffener to move in case of displacements caused by thermal expansion
of the engine or different loading conditions of the vessel. Furthermore, the
tightening is made with a well-defined force on the friction shims, using disc
springs, to prevent overloading of the system in case of an excessive vibration
level.
The mechanical top bracing is to be made by the shipyard in accordance with
MAN Energy Solutions instructions.
Fig. 5.13.01: Mechanical top bracing stiffener.

Option: 4 83 112
Hydraulic top bracing

The hydraulic top bracing is an alternative to the mechanical top bracing used
mainly on engines with a cylinder bore of 50 or more. The installation normally
features two, four or six independently working top bracing units.
The top bracing unit consists of a single-acting hydraulic cylinder with a hy-
draulic control unit and an accumulator mounted directly on the cylinder unit.
The top bracing is controlled by an automatic switch in a control panel, which
activates the top bracing when the engine is running. It is possible to pro-
2023-12-11 - en
gramme the switch to choose a certain rpm range, at which the top bracing is
active. For service purposes, manual control from the control panel is also
possible.
When active, the hydraulic cylinder provides a pressure on the engine in pro-
portion to the vibration level. When the distance between the hull and engine
increases, oil flows into the cylinder under pressure from the accumulator.
When the distance decreases, a non-return valve prevents the oil from flowing
back to the accumulator, and the pressure rises. If the pressure reaches a
preset maximum value, a relief valve allows the oil to flow back to the accu-
mulator, hereby maintaining the force on the engine below the specified value.
2 (3) All engines

By a different pre-setting of the relief valve, the top bracing is delivered in a

low-pressure version (26 bar) or a high-pressure version (40 bar).
The top bracing unit is designed to allow displacements between the hull and
engine caused by thermal expansion of the engine or different loading condi-
tions of the vessel.

Horizontal vibrations on top of the engine are caused by the guide force mo-
ments. For 4-7 cylinder engines the H-moment is the major excitation source
and for larger cylinder numbers the X-moment is the major excitation source.
For engines with vibrations excited by the X-moment, bracings at the centre
of the engine are of only minor importance.
Top bracings should only be installed on one side, either the exhaust side or
the manoeuvring side. If the top bracing has to be installed on the manoeuv-
ring side, please contact MAN Energy Solutions.

Shaftline earthing device
Scope and field of application

A difference in the electrical potential between the hull and the propeller shaft
will be generated due to the difference in materials and to the propeller being
immersed in sea water.
In some cases, the difference in the electrical potential has caused spark
erosion on the thrust, main bearings and journals of the crankshaft of the en-
gine.
In order to reduce the electrical potential between the crankshaft and the hull
and thus prevent spark erosion, a highly efficient shaftline earthing device
must be installed.
The shaftline earthing device should be able to keep the electrical potential
difference below 50 mV DC. A shaft-to-hull monitoring equipment with a mV-
meter and with an output signal to the alarm system must be installed so that
the potential and thus the correct function of the shaftline earthing device can
be monitored.
Note that only one shaftline earthing device is needed in the propeller shaft
system.
5.17 Shaftline earthing device

2023-10-26 - en
All engines 1 (3)

Design description
The shaftline earthing device consists of two silver slip rings, two arrange-
ments for holding brushes including connecting cables and monitoring equip-
ment with a mV-meter and an output signal for alarm.
The slip rings should be made of solid silver or back-up rings of copper with a
silver layer all over. The expected life span of the silver layer on the slip rings
should be minimum 5 years.
The brushes should be made of minimum 80% silver and 20% graphite to en-
sure a sufficient electrical conducting capability.
Resistivity of the silver should be less than 0.1μ Ohm x m. The total resistance
from the shaft to the hull must not exceed 0.001 Ohm.
Cabling of the shaftline earthing device to the hull must be with a cable with a
cross section not less than 45 mm2. The length of the cable to the hull should
be as short as possible.
Monitoring equipment should have a 4-20 mA signal for alarm and a mV-
meter with a switch for changing range. Primary range from 0 to 50 mV DC
and secondary range from 0 to 300 mV DC.
When the shaftline earthing device is working correctly, the electrical potential
will normally be within the range of 10-50 mV DC depending of propeller size
and revolutions.
The alarm set-point should be 80 mV for a high alarm. The alarm signals with
an alarm delay of 30 seconds and an alarm cut-off, when the engine is
stopped, must be connected to the alarm system.
Connection of cables is shown in the sketch, see Fig. 5.17.01.

Calculation of List of Capacities

Updated engine and capacities data is available from the CEAS application at
www.marine.man-es.com -->’ Two-Stroke’ --> ’CEAS engine calculations’.
This chapter describes the necessary auxiliary machinery capacities to be
used for a nominally rated engine. The capacities given are valid for seawater
cooling system and central cooling water system, respectively.
For a derated engine, i.e. with a specified MCR different from the nominally
rated MCR point, the list of capacities will be different from the nominal capa-
cities.
Furthermore, among others, the exhaust gas data depends on the ambient
temperature conditions.
For a derated engine, calculations of:
▪ Derated capacities
▪ Available heat rate, for example for freshwater production
▪ Exhaust gas amounts and temperatures
can be made in the CEAS application available at the above link.
Nomenclature
In the following description and examples of the auxiliary machinery capacities
in Section 6.02, the below nomenclatures are used:

Centrifugal Pump Selection

Fig. 6.04.01: Location of the specified nominal duty point (SNDP) on the
pump QH curve
When selecting a centrifugal pump, it is recommended to carefully evaluate
the pump QH (capacity/ head) curve in order for the pump to work properly
both in normal operation and under changed conditions. But also for ensuring
that the maximum pipe design pressure is not exceeded.
The following has to be evaluated:
▪ Location of the specified nominal duty point (SNDP) on the pump QH
curve
▪ Pump QH curve slope
▪ Maximum available delivery pressure from the pump.
18014451288682507
Location of the Duty Point on the Pump QH

Particularly important is the location of the specified nominal duty point
2022-01-18 - en
(SNDP) on the pump QH curve: the SNDP is equal to the intersection of the
pump QH curve and the pipe system pressure characteristic, which is defined
at the design stage.
The SNDP must be located in the range of 45 to 85% of the pump’s max-
imum capacity, see Fig. 6.04.01.
Thus, the pump will be able to operate with slightly lower or higher pipe sys-
tem pressure characteristic than specified at the design stage, without the risk
of cavitation or too big variations in flow.
2 (4) G95, G90, G80 dot 5 and higher

Pump QH Curve Slope

At the location of the SNDP, the pump capacity should not decrease by more
than 10% when the pressure is increased by 5%, see Fig. 6.04.02.
This way, the flow stays acceptable even if the pipe system pressure is higher
than expected and the flow does not change too much, for example when a
thermostatic valve changes position.

Maximum Available Pump Delivery Pressure

It is important to evaluate, if the maximum available delivery pressure from the
pump contributes to exceeding the maximum allowable design pressure in
the pipe system.
The maximum available delivery pressure from the pump will occur e.g. when
a valve in the system is closed, see Fig. 6.04.03.
The maximum allowable pipe system design pressure must be known in order
to make the pressure rate sizing for equipment and other pipe components
correctly.

Fuel oil system

The system is so arranged that both diesel oil and heavy fuel oil can be used,
see Fig. 7.01.01.
From the service tank the fuel is led to an electrically driven supply pump by
means of which a pressure of approximately 4 bar can be maintained in the
low pressure part of the fuel circulating system, thus avoiding gasification of
the fuel in the venting box in the temperature ranges applied.
The venting box is connected to the service tank via an automatic deaerating
valve, which will release any gases present, but will retain liquids.
From the low pressure part of the fuel system the fuel oil is led to an electric-
ally-driven circulating pump, which pumps the fuel oil through a heater and a
full flow filter situated immediately before the inlet to the engine.
The fuel injection is performed by the electronically controlled pressure
booster located on the Hydraulic Cylinder Unit (HCU), one per cylinder, which
also contains the actuator for the electronic exhaust valve activation.
The Cylinder Control Units (CCU) of the Engine Control System (described in
Section 16.01) calculate the timing of the fuel injection and the exhaust valve
activation.
To ensure ample filling of the HCU, the capacity of the electrically-driven circu-
lating pump is higher than the amount of fuel consumed by the diesel engine.
Surplus fuel oil is recirculated from the engine through the venting box.
To ensure a constant fuel pressure to the fuel injection pumps during all en-
gine loads, a spring loaded overflow valve is inserted in the fuel oil system on
the engine.
The fuel oil pressure measured on the engine (at fuel pump level) should be
7-8 bar, equivalent to a circulating pump pressure of 10 bar.
Fuel Considerations
When the engine is stopped, the circulating pump will continue to circulate
heated heavy fuel through the fuel oil system on the engine, thereby keeping
the fuel pumps heated and the fuel valves deaerated. This automatic circula-
tion of preheated fuel during engine standstill is the background for our re-
commendation: constant operation on heavy fuel.
In addition, if this recommendation was not followed, there would be a latent
risk of diesel oil and heavy fuels of marginal quality forming incompatible
blends during fuel change over or when operating in areas with restrictions on
sulphur content in fuel oil due to exhaust gas emission control.
2023-03-28 - en
In special circumstances a change-over to diesel oil may become necessary –

and this can be performed at any time, even when the engine is not running.
7.01 Fuel oil system
Such a change-over may become necessary if, for instance, the vessel is ex-
pected to be inactive for a prolonged period with cold engine e.g. due to:
▪ docking
▪ stop for more than five days
▪ major repairs of the fuel system, etc.
95-60 ME/ME-C/ME-B/-GI/-GA/-LGI 1 (7)

The built-on overflow valves, if any, at the supply pumps are to be adjusted to
5 bar, whereas the external bypass valve is adjusted to 4 bar. The pipes
between the tanks and the supply pumps shall have minimum 50% larger
passage area than the pipe between the supply pump and the circulating
pump.
If the fuel oil pipe ‘X’ at inlet to engine is made as a straight line immediately at
the end of the engine, it will be necessary to mount an expansion joint. If the
connection is made as indicated, with a bend immediately at the end of the
engine, no expansion joint is required.

Fuel Oil System

1) MDO/MGO Cooler
For low-viscosity distillate fuels like marine gas oil (MGO), it is necessary to have
a cooler to ensure that the viscosity at engine inlet is above 2 cSt.
Location of cooler: As shown or, alternatively, anywhere before inlet to engine.
2) Fuel oil flowmeter (Optional)
Flow rate: See ‘List of Capacities’ (same as fuel supply pump).
Type: In case a damaged flow meter can block the fuel supply, a safety bypass
valve is to be placed across the flowmeter.
3) 0.23 litre/kWh in relation to certified Flow Rate (CFR); the engine SMCR can be
used to determine the capacity. The separators should be capable of removing
cat fines (Al+Si) from 80 ppm to a maximum level of 15 ppm Al+Si but preferably
lower.
Inlet temperature: Min. 98°C.
4) Valve in engine drain pipe
Valve in engine drain pipe is not acceptable. If the drain is blocked, the pressure
booster top cover seal will be damaged.
In case a valve between the engine connection AD and the drain tank is required,
the valve should be locked in open position and marked with a text, indicating
that the valve must only be closed in case of no fuel oil pressure to the engine. In
case of non-return valve, the opening pressure for the valve has to be below 0.2
bar.
5) MDO/MGO Cooler (Optional)
For protection of supply pumps against too warm oil and thus too low viscosity.
6) Transfer pump (Optional)
The transfer pump has to be able to return part of the content of the service tank
to the settling tank to minimize the risk of supplying fuel to the engine with a high
content of settled particles, e.g. cat fines, if the service tank has not been used
for a while.

Heavy Fuel Oil Tank

This type of tank should be used for any residual fuel usage. (It can also be
used for distillate fuel). The tank must be designed as high as possible and
equipped with a sloping bottom in order to collect the solid particles settling
from the fuel oil.
The tank outlet to the supply pumps must be placed above the slope to pre-
vent solid particles to be drawn into the heavy fuel oil supply pumps. An over-
flow pipe must be installed inside the tank below the pump outlet pipe to en-
sure that only ‘contaminated’ fuel is pumped back to settling tank.
A possibility of returning the day tank content to the settling tank must be in-
stalled for cases where the day tank content have not been used for some
time.
Drain of Clean Fuel Oil from HCU, Pumps, Pipes

The HCU Fuel Oil Pressure Booster has a leakage drain of clean fuel oil from
the umbrella sealing through ‘AD’ to the fuel oil drain tank.
The drain amount in litres per cylinder per hour is approximately as listed in
Table 7.01.02.
This drained clean oil will, of course, influence the measured SFOC, but the oil
is not wasted, and the quantity is well within the measuring accuracy of the
flowmeters normally used.

Table 7.01.02: Drain amount from fuel oil pump umbrella seal, figures for guid-
ance
Leakage Oil Amount Dependencies

Due to tolerances in the fuel pumps, the table figures may vary and are there-
2023-03-28 - en
fore for guidance only. In fact, the leakage amount relates to the clearance
between plunger and barrel in the third power. Thus, within the drawing toler-
ances alone, the table figures can vary quite a lot.

The engine load, however, has little influence on the drain amount because
the leakage does not originate from the high-pressure side of the fuel pump.
For the same reason, the varying leakage amount does not influence the in-
jection itself.
The figures in Table 7.01.02 are based on fuel oil with 12 cSt viscosity. In
case of distillate fuel oil, the figures can be up to 6 times higher due to the
lower viscosity.

Fuel Oil Drains in Service and for Overhaul

The main purpose of the drain ‘AD’ is to collect fuel oil from the fuel pumps.
The drain oil is led to an overflow tank and can be pumped to the heavy fuel
oil (HFO) tank or to the settling tank. In case of ultra low sulphur (ULSFO) or
distillate fuel oil, the piping should allow the fuel oil to be pumped to the ultra
low sulphur or distillate fuel oil tank.
As a safety measure for the crew during maintenance, an overhaul drain from
the umbrella leads clean fuel oil from the umbrella directly to drain ‘AF’ and
further to the sludge tank. Also washing water from the cylinder cover and the
baseplate is led to drain ‘AF’.
The ‘AF’ drain is provided with a box for giving alarm in case of leakage in a
high pressure pipe.
The size of the sludge tank is determined on the basis of the draining inter-
vals, the classification society rules, and on whether it may be vented directly
to the engine room.
Drains ‘AD’, ‘AF’ and the drain for overhaul are shown in Fig. 7.03.01.
Drain of Contaminated Fuel etc.

Leakage oil, in shape of fuel and lubricating oil contaminated with water, dirt
etc. and collected by the HCU Base Plate top plate (ME only), as well as tur-
bocharger cleaning water etc. is drained off through the bedplate drains ‘AE’.
Drain ‘AE’ is shown in Fig. 8.07.02.
Heating of Fuel Drain Pipes

Owing to the relatively high viscosity of the heavy fuel oil, it is recommended
that the drain pipes and the fuel oil drain tank are heated to min. 50°C, but
max. 100°C.
The drain pipes between engine and tanks can be heated by the jacket water,
as shown in Fig. 7.01.01 ‘Fuel oil system’ as flange ‘BD’. (Flange BD and the
tracing line are not applicable on MC/ MC-C engines type 42 and smaller).
Fuel Oil Flow Velocity and Viscosity

For external pipe connections, we prescribe the following maximum flow vel-
cities:
Marine diesel oil .......................................... 1.0 m/s
2023-03-28 - en
Heavy fuel oil ............................................... 0.6 m/s

The fuel viscosity is influenced by factors such as emulsification of water into

the fuel for reducing the NOx emission.
Cat Fines
Cat fines is a by-product from the catalytic cracking used in fuel distillation.
Cat fines is an extremely hard material, very abrasive and damaging to the en-
gine and fuel equipment. It is recommended always to purchase fuel with as
low cat fines content as possible.

Cat fines can to some extent be removed from the fuel by means of a good
and flexible tank design and by having optimum conditions for the separator in
terms of flow and high temperature.

Fuel Oils
Marine Diesel Oil:

Marine diesel oil ISO 8217, Class DMB
British Standard 6843, Class DMB
Similar oils may also be used
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO)

Most commercially available HFO with a viscosity below 700 cSt at 50°C
(7,000 sec. Redwood I at 100°F) can be used.
For guidance on purchase, reference is made to ISO 8217:2012, British
Standard 6843 and to CIMAC recommendations regarding requirements for
heavy fuel for diesel engines, fourth edition 2003, in which the maximum ac-
ceptable grades are RMH 700 and RMK 700. The above“mentioned ISO and
BS standards supersede BSMA 100 in which the limit was M9.
The data in the above HFO standards and specifications refer to fuel as de-
livered to the ship, i.e. before on-board cleaning.
In order to ensure effective and sufficient cleaning of the HFO, i.e. removal of
water and solid contaminants, the fuel oil specific gravity at 15°C (60°F)
should be below 0.991, unless modern types of centrifuges with adequate
cleaning abilities are used.
Higher densities can be allowed if special treatment systems are installed.
Current analysis information is not sufficient for estimating the combustion
properties of the oil. This means that service results depend on oil properties
which cannot be known beforehand. This especially applies to the tendency
of the oil to form deposits in combustion chambers, gas passages and tur-
bines. It may, therefore, be necessary to rule out some oils that cause diffi-
culties.
Guiding Heavy Fuel Oil Specification

Based on our general service experience we have, as a supplement to the
above mentioned standards, drawn up the guiding HFO specification shown
below.
Heavy fuel oils limited by this specification have, to the extent of the commer-
cial availability, been used with satisfactory results on MAN B&W two“stroke
low speed diesel engines.

Insulation and heat tracing of fuel oil piping

Insulation of fuel oil pipes and fuel oil drain pipes should not be carried out un-
til the piping systems have been subjected to the pressure tests specified and
approved by the respective classification society and/or authorities, Fig.
7.04.01.
The directions mentioned below include insulation of hot pipes, flanges and
valves with a surface temperature of the complete insulation of maximum
55°C at a room temperature of maximum 38°C. As for the choice of material
and, if required, approval for the specific purpose, reference is made to the re-
spective classification society.
Fuel Oil Pipes

The pipes are to be insulated with 20 mm mineral wool of minimum 150 kg/
m3 and covered with glass cloth of minimum 400 g/m2.
Fuel Oil Pipes and Heating Pipes Together

Two or more pipes can be insulated with 30 mm wired mats of mineral wool
of minimum 150 kg/m3 covered with glass cloth of minimum 400 g/m2.
Flanges and Valves

The flanges and valves are to be insulated by means of removable pads.
Flange and valve pads are made of glass cloth, minimum 400 g/m2, contain-

Fuel Oil Pipe Heat Tracing

The steam tracing of the fuel oil pipes is intended to operate in two situations:
1. When the circulation pump is running, there will be a temperature loss in the pip-
ing, see Fig. 7.04.02. This loss is very small, therefore tracing in this situation is
only necessary with very long fuel supply lines.
2. When the circulation pump is stopped with heavy fuel oil in the piping and the
pipes have cooled down to engine room temperature, as it is not possible to
pump the heavy fuel oil. In this situation the fuel oil must be heated to pumping
temperature of about 50˚C.
To heat the pipe to pumping level we recommend to use 100 watt leaking/meter
pipe.

Components for Fuel Oil System
Fuel Oil Separator

The manual cleaning type of separators are not to be recommended. Separ-
ators must be self-cleaning, either with total discharge or with partiadischarge.
Distinction must be made between installations for:
▪ Specific gravities < 0.991 (corresponding to ISO 8217: RMA-RMD grades
and British Standard 6843 from RMA to RMH, and CIMAC from A to H-
grades)
▪ Specific gravities > 0.991 (corresponding to ISO 8217: RME-RMK grades
and CIMAC K-grades).
For the latter specific gravities, the manufacturers have developed special
types of separators, e.g.:
Alfa Laval ........................................................Alcap
Westfalia .......................................................Unitrol
Mitsubishi ..............................................E-Hidens II
MAN Energy Solutions also recommends using high-temperature separators,
which will increase the efficiency.
The separator should be able to treat approximately the following quantity of
oil:
0.23 litres/kWh in relation to CFR (certified flow rate)
This figure includes a margin for:

▪ water content in fuel oil
▪ possible sludge, ash and other impurities in the fuel oil
▪ increased fuel oil consumption, in connection with other conditions than
ISO standard condition
▪ purifier service for cleaning and maintenance.
The Specified MCR can be used to determine the capacity. The separator ca-
pacity must always be higher than the calculated capacity.
Inlet temperature to separator, minimum .......98°C
7.05 Components for Fuel Oil System
CFR according to CEN, CWA 15375
The size of the separator has to be chosen according to the supplier’s table
valid for the selected viscosity of the Heavy Fuel Oil and in compliance with
CFR or similar. Normally, two separators are installed for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO),
2021-08-10 - en
each with adequate capacity to comply with the above recommendation.

A separator for Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) is not a must. However, MAN Energy
Solutions recommends that at least one of the HFO separators can also treat
MDO.
If it is decided after all to install an individual purifier for MDO on board, the ca-
pacity should be based on the above recommendation, or it should be a sep-
arator of the same size as that for HFO.
It is recommended to follow the CIMAC Recommendation 25:
Recommendations concerning the design of heavy fuel treatment plants for
diesel engines.

Fuel Oil Filter

The filter can be of the manually cleaned duplex type or an automatic filter
with a manually cleaned bypass filter.
If a double filter (duplex) is installed, it should have sufficient capacity to allow
the specified full amount of oil to flow through each side of the filter at a given
working temperature with a max. 0.3 bar pressure drop across the filter (clean
filter).
If a filter with backflushing arrangement is installed, the following should be
noted. The required oil flow specified in the ‘List of capacities’, i.e. the delivery
rate of the fuel oil supply pump and the fuel oil circulating pump, should be in-
creased by the amount of oil used for the backflushing, so that the fuel oil
pressure at the inlet to the main engine can be maintained during cleaning.
In those cases where an automatically cleaned filter is installed, it should be
noted that in order to activate the cleaning process, certain makers of filters
require a greater oil pressure at the inlet to the filter than the pump pressure
specified. Therefore, the pump capacity should be adequate for this purpose,
too.
Alternatively positioned in the supply circuit after the supply pumps, the filter
has the same flow rate as the fuel oil supply pump. In this case, a duplex
safety filter has to be placed in the circulation circuit before the engine. The
absolute fineness of the safety filter is recommended to be maximum 60 μm
and the flow rate the same as for the circulation oil pump.
The fuel oil filter should be based on heavy fuel oil of: 130 cSt at 80°C = 700
cSt at 50°C = 7,000 sec Redwood I/100°F.

Fuel Oil Filter (Option)

Located as shown in drawing or alternatively in the supply circuit after the
supply pumps. In this case, a duplex safety filter has to be placed in the circu-
lation circuit before the engine, with an absolute fineness of maximum 60 μm.
Pipe Diameter ‘D’ & ‘d’

The pipe (D) between the service tank and the supply pump is to have min-
imum 50% larger passage area than the pipe (d) between the supply pump
and in the circulating pump. This ensures the best suction conditions for the
supply pump (small pressure drop in the suction pipe).
Overflow Valve
See ‘List of Capacities’ (fuel oil supply oil pump).
Flushing of the Fuel Oil System

Before starting the engine for the first time, the system on board has to be
flushed in accordance with MAN Energy Solutions recommendations:
Flushing of Fuel Oil System
which is available from MAN Energy Solutions, Copenhagen.
Fuel Oil Venting Box

The design of the fuel oil venting box is shown in Fig. 7.05.02. The size is
chosen according to the maximum flow of the fuel oil circulation pump, which
is listed in section 6.03.
The venting tank has to be placed at the top service tank. If the venting tank is
placed below the top of the service tank, the drain pipe from the automatic
venting valve has to be led to a tank placed lower than the venting valve. The

lower tank can be a ‘Fuel oil over flow tank’, if this tank has venting to deck.

Cooling of Distillate Fuels

The external fuel systems (supply and circulating systems) have a varying ef-
fect on the heating of the fuel and, thereby, the viscosity of the fuel when it
reaches the engine inlet.
Today, external fuel systems on-board are often designed to have an op-
timum operation on HFO, which means that the temperature is kept high.
6 (8) All engines

For low-viscosity distillate fuels like marine diesel oil (MDO) and marine gas oil
(MGO), however, the temperature must be kept as low as possible in order to
ensure a suitable viscosity at engine inlet.
9007250990787211
Fuel Oil Viscosity at Engine Inlet

The recommended fuel viscosity range for MAN B&W two-stroke engines at
engine inlet is listed in Table 7.05.03.
The lower fuel viscosity limit is 2 cSt
However, 3 cSt or higher is preferable as this will minimise the risk of having
problems caused by wear for instance.
For low-viscosity fuel grades, care must be taken not to heat the fuel too
much and thereby reduce the viscosity.
Range Fuel viscosity at engine inlet, cSt
Minimum 2
Normal, distillate 3 or higher
Normal, HFO 10-15
Maximum 20
Table 7.05.03: Recommended fuel viscosity at engine inlet

Information about temperature – viscosity relationship of marine fuels is avail-
able in our publication:
Guidelines for Operation on Fuels with less than 0.1% Sulphur, SL2014-593
The publication is available at www.marine.man-es.com -->'Service Letters'.
Impact of Fuel Viscosity on Engine Operation

Many factors influence the actually required minimum viscosity tolerance dur-
ing start-up and lowload operation:
▪ engine condition and maintenance

▪ fuel pump wear
▪ engine adjustment (mainly starting index)
▪ actual fuel temperature in the fuel system
Although achievable, it is difficult to optimize all of these factors at the same
time. This situation complicates operation on fuels in the lowest end of the vis-
cosity range.
2021-08-10 - en
Fuel Oil Cooler

To build in some margin for safe and reliable operation and to maintain the re-
quired viscosity at engine inlet, installation of a cooler will be necessary as
shown in Fig. 7.01.01.
All engines 7 (8)

Viscosity Requirements of Fuel Pumps etc.

The fuel viscosity does not only affect the engine. In fact, most pumps in the
external system (supply pumps, circulating pumps, transfer pumps and feed
pumps for the separator) also need viscosities above 2 cSt to function prop-
erly.
MAN Energy Solutions recommends contacting the actual pump maker for
advice.

08 Lubricating Oil
Lubricating and cooling oil system

System oil is the common designation of a lubricating oil used for different
purposes in systems in and on the engine. The system oil is used as:
1. Circulating oil
▪ Lubrication of crosshead bearings, crankshaft bearings, main and thrust
bearings
▪ Cooling of pistons
▪ Turbochargers
▪ Axial vibration damper
2. Hydraulic oil
▪ Hydraulic power supply unit (HPS)
▪ Exhaust valves
▪ Hydraulic cylinder unit (HCU)
▪ Moment compensator (if installed)
▪ Torsional vibration damper (if installed)
3. Control oil
▪ Activates (control) valves, etc.
4. Sealing oil in dual-fuel engines

▪ Confines low-flashpoint (LF) fuel in LF-systems (various systems and
types).
Two different lubricating and cooling oil system arrangements are available,
depending on whether the lubricating oil pump is a submerged centrifugal
deep-well pump (Fig. 8.01.01), or a positive displacement pump
(Fig. 8.01.02).

2 (5) All engines

The main lubricating oil pump pumps lubricating oil from a bottom tank to the
lubricating oil cooler, through a full-flow filter, to engine inlet ‘RU’, see Figs.
8.01.01–8.01.02. From the engine, the oil collects in the oil pan from where it
is drained off to the lubricating oil bottom tank through engine outlet ´S`. For
the design of the lubricating oil bottom tank, see Chapter 8.06.
If there is limited space below the engine, and the necessary space for a cof-
ferdam is not available (subject to classification approval), the arrangement in
Fig. 8.01.03 must be used.

If the lubricating oil tank gets damaged, the arrangement in Fig. 8.01.03 en-
ables emergency suction for both the lubricating oil pump and the separator
pump from the lubricating oil bottom tank.
Fig. 8.07.01 shows vent arrangement for engine crankcase, turbochargers,
and lubricating oil bottom tank.

Hydraulic power supply unit

A hydraulic power supply (HPS) unit supplies hydraulic power for the ME hy-
draulic-mechanical system for activation of fuel injection and exhaust valves.
Normal lubricating oil from the main lubricating oil system of the engine (as
standard) is used as hydraulic oil. The HPS unit filters the lubricating oil.
HPS connection to lubricating oil system

Internally on the engine, the lubricating oil inlet ‘RU’ is connected to the HPS
unit which supplies hydraulic oil to hydraulic cylinder units (HCU). See Figs.
8.01.01–8.01.03, 16.01.02a and 16.01.02b.
‘RW’ is the lubricating oil outlet from the automatic backflushing filter.
Hydraulic oil is supplied to the HCU at each cylinder where it is distributed to
two multi-way valves: Electronic fuel injection (ELFI) and electronic valve actu-
ation (ELVA), these carry out the fuel injection and open the exhaust valve, re-
spectively. The exhaust valve is closed by a conventional air spring.
The engine control system (ECS) controls the multi-way valves, see Chapter
16.
HPS configurations
The HPS pumps are driven either mechanically by the engine (via a step-up
gear from the crankshaft) or electrically. The HPS unit is mounted on the en-
gine, regardless of how the pumps are driven. For mechanically driven
pumps, the HPS unit (Fig. 8.02.01) consists of:
▪ an automatic and a redundant filter
▪ three to five engine driven main pumps
▪ two electrically driven start-up pumps
▪ a safety and accumulator block

Fig. 8.02.01: Engine driven hydraulic power supply unit and lubricating oil
pipes
For electrically driven pumps, the HPS unit has three or more pumps which
function as combined main and start-up pumps.
2 (3) All engines

Altogether, two HPS configurations are available:

▪ STANDARD mechanically driven HPS, EOD: 4 40 160, with mechanically
driven main pumps and start-up pumps with a capacity sufficient to de-
liver the start-up pressure only. The engine cannot run with all engine-
driven main pumps out of operation. If one main pump is out, 66% engine
load is available.
▪ COMBINED mechanically driven HPS unit, EOD: 4 40 167 with electrically
driven start-up pumps with back-up capacity. If all engine-driven pumps
are out of operation, at least 15% engine power is available as back-up
power.
Motor start method

Direct online start (DOL) is required for all electric motors for the HPS pumps
to ensure proper operation under all conditions, including a start-up against
maximum pressure in the system.

System oil list, consumption and cleaning
System oil – a versatile lubricating oil used for many purposes

System oil is the common designation of a lubricating oil used for different
purposes in systems in and on the engine. As mentioned in Section 8.01, the
system oil is used as:
1. Circulating oil
2. Hydraulic oil
3. Control oil
4. Sealing oil in dual-fuel engines.
List of system oils

MAN Energy Solutions recommends using system oils (circulating oil) with the
following main properties:
▪ SAE 30 viscosity grade
▪ BN level 5 - 10
▪ high corrosion protection
▪ good anti-oxidant properties
▪ high detergency and dispersancy.
Adequate dispersion and detergent properties will keep the crankcase and
piston cooling spaces clean of deposits.
Table 1 lists major international system oil brands tested in service, and which
have passed the testing procedure and obtained a No Objection Letter (NOL).

System oil consumption

The system oil consumption depends on factors like backflushing from
separators and drain from stuffing boxes.
Furthermore, the consumption varies for different engine sizes as well as op-
erational and maintenance patterns.
System oil offline cleaning

Automatic separators with total or partial discharge must be used.
Fig. 8.04.01 shows a typical system oil cleaning system.
2024-02-12 - en

Components and installation
Lubricating oil pump

The lubricating oil pump can be a submerged centrifugal deep well pump or,
alternatively, a positive displacement type which requires one of the arrange-
ments shown in Fig. 8.01.01 and Fig. 8.01.02.
Flow rate
The flow capacity must be within a range from 100% to 112% of the capacity
stated in the CEAS report, see Section 6.03. Note that the given capacity
does not normally consider capacities of internal components such as tor-
sional vibration damper, gearbox, filter backflushing, etc.
Pump head (Ph)

The value given by MAN Energy Solutions is a preliminary guidance based on
a maximum pressure drop across cooler and filter of 1.0 bar, and a required
inlet pressure at the engine, which is specified at a reference location 1,800
mm above the crankshaft centre.
The actual pump head of the pumps must be based on required inlet pres-
sure to the engine, hydrostatic lifting height, and total actual pressure drop
across the lubricating oil system pipe components, specified by the shipyard,
at the specified flow rate.
If an automatically cleaned filter is installed, note that to activate the cleaning
process, certain makes of filters require a higher oil pressure at the filter inlet
than the pump pressure specified. Therefore, the pump capacity should be
adequate for this purpose, too.
Engine inlet pressure

The required inlet pressure to the engine must be according to “Guidance val-
ues for automation” for the specific engine type. The reference location for the
pressure is 1,800 mm above crankshaft centre.

Flushing of lubricating oil components and piping system at the shipyard

During installation of the lubricating oil system for the main engine, it is import-
ant to minimise or eliminate foreign particles in the system. This is done as a
final step on board the vessel, before starting the engine, by flushing the lub-
ricating oil components and piping system of MAN B&W two-stroke engines.
At the shipyard, the following main points should be observed during handling
and flushing of the lubricating oil components and piping system.
Before and during installation
Components delivered from sub-suppliers, such as pumps, coolers and fil-
ters, are expected to be clean and rust protected. However, these must be
spot-checked before being connected to the piping system.
All piping must be finished in the workshop before mounting on board, i.e. all
2023-11-15 - en
internal welds must be ground and piping must be acid-treated followed by

neutralisation, cleaning, and corrosion protection.
Both ends of all pipes must be closed/sealed during transport.
Before the final installation, carefully check the inside of the pipes for rust and
other kinds of foreign particles.
Never leave a pipe end uncovered during assembly.
All engines 3 (6)

Bunkering and filling system

Tanks must be cleaned manually and inspected before filling these with oil.
When filling the oil system, MAN Energy Solutions recommends that new oil is
bunkered through a 6 μm fine filter, or that a purifier system is used. New oil is
normally delivered with a cleanliness level of XX/23/19 according to ISO 4406
and, therefore, requires further cleaning to meet our specification.
Flushing the piping with engine bypass

When flushing the system, the first step is to bypass the main engine oil sys-
tem. Through temporary piping and/or hosing, the oil is circulated through the
vessel’s system and directly back to the main engine oil sump tank.
If the system has been out of operation, or unused for a long time, it may be
necessary to spot-check for signs of corrosion in the system. Remove end
covers, bends, and so on, and inspect accordingly.
During flushing, it is important to keep the oil warm, approx. 60˚C, and the
flow of oil as high as possible. For that reason it may be necessary to run two
pumps at the same time.
Filtering and removing impurities

To remove dirt and impurities from the oil, it is essential to run the purifier sys-
tem during the complete flushing period and/or use a bypass unit with a 6 μm
fine filter and sump-to-sump filtration, see Fig. 8.05.01.
2023-11-15 - en
Fig. 8.05.01: Lubricating oil system with temporary hosing/piping for flushing
at the shipyard
Furthermore, it is recommended to reduce the filter mesh size of the main filter
unit to 10-25 μm (to be changed again after sea trial) and use the 6 μm fine fil-
ter already installed in the auto-filter for this temporary installation, see Fig.
8.05.01. This can lead to a reduction of the flushing time.
4 (6) All engines

The flushing time depends on the system type, the condition of the piping and
the experience of the yard. 15–26 hours should be expected.
Cleanliness level, measuring kit and flushing log

MAN Energy Solutions specifies ISO 4406 XX/16/13 as the accepted cleanli-
ness level for ME hydraulic oil systems and second fuel hydraulic oil systems,
and ISO 4406 XX/19/15 for the remaining part of the lubricating oil systems.
The amount of contamination contained in system samples can be estimated
with the Pall Fluid Contamination Comparator combined with the Portable
Analysis Kit, HPCA-Kit-0, which is used by MAN Energy Solutions. This kit
and the comparator included is supplied by Pall Corporation, USA
(www.pall.com).
It is important to record the flushing condition in statements to all inspectors
involved. The MAN Energy Solutions ‘Flushing Log form’, which is available on
request, or a similar form is recommended for this purpose.
Flushing the engine oil system

The second step of flushing the system is to flush the complete engine oil sys-
tem. The procedure depends on the engine type and the condition in which
the engine is delivered from the engine builder. For detailed information, we
recommend contacting the engine builder or MAN Energy Solutions.
Inspection and recording in operation

Inspect the filters before and after the sea trial.
During operation of the oil system, check the performance and behaviour of
all filters, and note down any abnormal conditions. If any abnormal condition
is observed, take immediate action. For example, if a high differential pressure
occurs at short intervals, or in the case of abnormal backflushing, check the
filters and take appropriate action.
Further information and recommendations regarding flushing, the specified
cleanliness level and how to measure it, and how to use the NAS 1638 oil
cleanliness code as an alternative to ISO 4406, are available in our publica-
tion: Filtration Handbook.

Crankcase venting line

8.07 Venting and drain pipes
The crankcase venting line must be made with a drain cowl as indicated in
Fig. 8.07.01 and detail 1, for draining of a potential build-up of condensate in
the venting line. This drain cowl must be located as close as possible to the
engine flange for crankcase venting.

Hydrocarbon sensor (note 6)
1. Engine type: ME, fuel oil only

▪ A hydrocarbon (HC) sensor and a special vent outlet location are not rel-
evant.
All engines 1 (3)

2. Engine type: ME-GI/-GA/-GIE/-LGIM/-LGIP

▪ A hydrocarbon sensor and a special vent outlet location are not relevant
but this can be overruled by the applicable flag state authority, who might
require the following:
– Tank venting: The venting outlet constitutes a hazardous zone and has
to be placed outside a safe area. The outside hazardous zone must be
according to flag state/classification society requirement.
– Monitoring: A hydrocarbon alarm sensor should be installed in the vent
line.
The piping must be terminated in open air:

See ‘Routing of vent pipes’ (Note 11)
Pipe routing: See ‘Venting pipe routing, inclination’ (Note 12)
Lubricating oil bottom tank venting lines

The lubricating oil bottom tank must be provided with sufficient venting. The
venting pipes should be arranged at the corners of the tank or, as a minimum,
at each end of the tank, to secure venting at any trim of the ship. The venting
pipe sizes from tanks are subject to classification society rules.
A drain system with a design as shown in note 6 and detail 2 in Fig. 8.07.01
can be installed for each of the air venting pipes from the lubricating oil bot-
tom tank. This gives the possibility to drain condensate and foreign particles
from venting pipes and, thereby, not contaminate the oil in the lubricating oil
bottom tank.
Drain valves must be opened and closed frequently during:
▪ Flushing procedure before initial engine start-up
▪ Sea-trial.
Turbocharger vent line

A turbocharger vent line must be made going from the turbochargers to the
atmosphere. If more than one turbocharger vent line is connected to the same
vent line manifold, it is important that the vent pipe is connected to the bottom
of the manifold pipe, otherwise oil mist will accumulate in the pipe. Further-
more, the cross-sectional area of the vent pipe must be increased before con-
necting it to a common line. This is shown in Fig. 8.07.01, detail 3.
2023-11-16 - en

Routing of vent pipes (Note 11 on Fig. 8.07.01)

It is recommended that each vent line from the various engine connections is
routed separately to the open air outside the engine room. They should not be
connected to each other or be connected to a common vent chamber.

Venting pipe routing, inclination

(Note 12 on Figs. 8.01.01, 8.01.02, 8.01.03 and 8.07.01)
The vent piping routing has to be steadily ascending so no potential pipe
pockets can occur according to the vessel static longitudinal and transverse
inclination. In general, the longitudinal inclination used must be min. 5° (might
be smaller based on the length of the vessel and applicable classification soci-
ety rules) and the transverse inclination min. 15°. If for some reason a pipe
pocket cannot be avoided, a special drain pipe connection to the sludge or
waste oil tank must be installed in the bottom part of each pipe pocket to
avoid an oil-filled pocket.

with the following main properties:
▪ BN level: 5–10
For further details, reference is made to drawing no. 5832509-5.
Turbocharger lubricating oil system components
Turbocharger lubricating oil tank

The tank must be designed as a separate loose tank (mild steel plate) or as
part of the ship structure. The tank must be made with a sloped bottom. The
tank should be placed at least 1 m below the turbocharger lubricating oil out-
let flange “AB” on Fig. 8.08.01.
The tank volume must be 10% of the pump flow rate given in the
CEAS report. The calculated tank volume is the volume between high- and
low-level alarms.
The design pressure must be according to class rules for tanks vented to the
atmosphere.
The low-level alarm must be placed at a level above the minimum level for
pump suction, including considerations of vessel athwartships and fore/aft in-
clinations (according to classification society rules). The low-level alarm must
be according to the document “Guidance Value – Automation”, sensor name
“LS 8130 AL”.
The optional high-level alarm must be placed so that the tank can receive the
TC lubricating oil drain amount from the engine without overflowing.
Cleaning
Before using the tank, it must be cleaned properly:

▪ Any slag (and other impurities) after welding must be removed mechanic-
ally
▪ Clean all visible impurities
▪ Treat scale on the surface with a descaling agent
▪ If rust is found, treat the surface with a rust-removing agent
▪ Use a vacuum cleaner to remove small particles from the surface and
corners
2024-02-16 - en
▪ Wash the surface with grease-dissolving liquid. Cleaned areas must be

protected with an antirust agent immediately after they have been cleaned
to provide protection until the system is filled up. The agent must be of a
type that can be mixed with lubricating oil.
Paint and protection

It is very important to ensure that the paint, if any, and other protecting
products used in the tank are oil resistant, and that the application method
has been thoroughly carried out, considering that a bad quality of paint may
be worse than no paint at all.
In general, it is recommended to coat the tank with clean oil.

Cylinder oil specification and system description
Cylinder lubricators
Each cylinder liner has a number of lubricating quills through which oil is intro-
duced by MAN B&W Alpha Cylinder Lubricators, see Section 9.02.
Cylinder lubricating oil is pumped into the cylinder (via non-return valves) when
the piston rings pass the lubricating orifices during the upward stroke.
The control of the lubricators is integrated in the engine control system (ME-
ECS). Fig. 9.02.02b shows an overview of the cylinder lubricating oil control
system.
Cylinder lubrication strategy

The general lubrication strategy is to match the cylinder oil with the fuel type
and its sulphur content.
When operating on liquid natural gas (LNG), ethane liquid petroleum gas
(LPG) or methanol, the same cylinder oil is used as for <0.10 ULSFO (ultra-
low-sulphur fuel oil) to <0.5 VLSFO (very-low-sulphur fuel oil) operation.
For specific lubrication guidelines, please refer to the most recent lubrication
guideline for your specific engine type, for example service letters and circular
letters. Service letters are publicly available.
Circular letters are only distributed to customers with specific engine types.
9.01 Cylinder oil specification and system description

Cylinder oil
MAN Energy Solutions is continously improving the engine design. Highly fuel-
efficient engines with higher pressures and higher temperatures require lubric-
ants with matching performance. Cylinder oils must be designed to:
▪ lubricate pistons and liners
▪ reduce friction
▪ introduce wear protection
▪ minimise risk of seizures
▪ neutralise acids and oxidation products in accordance with the engine re-
quirement,
▪ and keep pistons, piston rings, ring grooves, ringlands, and liners clean.
The cylinder oils are divided into two performance categories, Cat. I and Cat.
II, of which Cat. II is the overall higher performing category.
2024-04-03 - en
MAN Energy Solutions recommends using cylinder oils with the following main
properties:
▪ kinematic viscoity
– minimum 18.5 cSt at 100°C
– maximum 21.9 cSt at 100°C
▪ viscosity index (VI): min. 95
▪ high detergency
▪ alkalinity or base number (BN).
All engines 1 (13)

Category II cylinder oils – all MAN B&W engines and recommended for Mk. 9
and higher
Cat. II cylinder oils have an excellent overall performance with a special focus
on cleaning ability. In order to receive this status, the cylinder oil must com-
plete extensive testing. The lubricants awarded Cat. II status are 40 BN, 100
BN, and 140 BN cylinder oils. Cylinder oils with 100 and 140 BN are mainly
used for high-sulphur fuel applications. The Cat. II 40 BN oils can be used for
operation on <0.10-0.50%S fuels and LNG, ethane, methanol, and LPG.
Table 9.01.01 lists major international system oil brands tested in service with
acceptable results, and which have passed the testing procedure and ob-
tained an No Objection Letter (NOL). Do not consider this list to be complete,
as other Cat. II cylinder oils with NOLs from MAN Energy Solutions can be
equally suitable.

Description of cylinder oil systems

The general cylinder lubrication strategy for MAN B&W engines is to match
the cylinder oil with the fuel type, its sulphur content, and the dependency on
detergent. This match can be achieved by the two cylinder oil lubricating sys-
tems available, both of which require access to two cylinder oils.
The two cylinder oil lubrication systems are – options 1 and 2:
▪ Option 1 - Automated cylinder oil switching system (ACOS2) is the stand-
ard system for most engines, whereas
▪ Option 2 - Automated cylinder oil mixing system (ACOM) is a more ad-
vanced system designed for engine operation which places demands on
the change of cylinder oil.

Letters from our website here. The minimum feed rate is the amount of oil
needed to lubricate all parts sufficiently.
Continuously monitoring the cylinder condition and analysing drain oil samples
are important to:
1. optimise cylinder oil feed rate and consumption, and
2024-04-03 - en
2. safeguard the engine against wear.

Further information about cylinder lubrication is available in ’ most current Ser-
vice Letters on this subject.
Option 1 – Automated cylinder oil switching system

The ACOS2 system automatically switches between two grades of cylinder
oil, for example, cylinder lubricating oils with a high and a low BN. In general,
the cylinder oil storage and/or service tanks should be arranged separately for
the two cylinder oils.
6 (13) All engines

Switching between the two types of cylinder lubricating oil is based on several
factors, some are mentioned below:
▪ Engine load (fuel oil and dual-fuel (DF) operation)
▪ Amount of pilot fuel in the combusted fuel (only for DF operation on )
▪ Sulphur content in the pilot fuel (only for DF operation on )
▪ Cylinder oil detergency to control cylinder cleanliness.
The sulphur content in the combusted fuel is called the sulphur equivalent.
The ACOS2 system automatically calculates the sulphur equivalent based on
input about the sulphur content of the pilot fuel, which the crew enters on the
main operating panel (MOP).
Control modes
The engine control system (ECS) controls the ACOS2 system and the supply
of cylinder oils via a three-way valve.
See Fig. 9.01.01, and the control modes in Table 9.01.02.
Control mode Description
Auto Cylinder lubrication will switch to high-BN

cylinder oil in dual-fuel operation, and
low-BN cylinder oil when running on fuel
oil only. This switch occurs automatically
based on a feed rate threshold value.
High BN Only high-BN oil is used for cylinder lub-

rication

Low BN Only low-BN oil is used for cylinder lubric-
ation
Table 9.01.02: Control modes

The three-way ball valve is activated pneumatically by control air and in failsafe
position, a spring forces the valve to switch to the high-BN oil.
Timer control of High- and Low-BN control modes

A timer with two timer functions (Max. and Force) can be enabled to control
how many days the engine will run on low-BN and high-BN oils.
The values entered into the timer and, therefore, the shift between cylinder
oils, give the possibility to address cylinder cleanliness.
The “Max.” timer depends on the low-BN feed rate or the days entered in the
timer.
2024-04-03 - en
If the low-BN feed rate is bigger than an engine-dependant threshold value, it

will switch to high-BN oil. Likewise, if the number of days entered in the timer
has elapsed, it will switch to high-BN oil. Only one of the criteria has to be ful-
filled and the timer switches to high-BN oil.
The “Force” timer depends on the low-BN feed rate and the days entered in
the timer.
If the low-BN feed rate is lower than an engine-dependant threshold value and
the timer is done, it will switch to high-BN oil. Both criteria have to be fulfilled
before the timer switches to high-BN oil.

Option 2 - Automated cylinder oil mixing system (ACOM)

The automated cylinder oil mixing (ACOM) is a cylinder oil delivery system
which automatically mixes to two fully formulated cylinder oils to the optimum
BN, depending on the sulphur content of the fuel.
In general, the cylinder oil storage and/or service tanks should be arranged
separately for the two cylinder oils.
' ACOM system mixes commercially available cylinder oils to the BN value re-
quired. The resulting BN of the cylinder oil supplied to the liners is in the range
of the BN values of the two cylinder oils stored on board.
The basic principle is to mix a cylinder lubricating oil with an optimal BN. At a
certain sulphur content level, the engine has to run on a high-BN cylinder oil.
ACOM working principle

The ME-ECS controls the ACOM system and the mixing of cylinder oils based
on an input about the sulphur content of the fuel combusted. In dual-fuel op-
eration, the sulphur content of the fuel combusted depends on:
▪ engine load
▪ amount of pilot oil in the combusted fuel
▪ sulphur content in the pilot fuel.
The sulphur content of fuel is called the sulphur equivalent. The ACOM system
automatically calculates the sulphur equivalent.
The ACOM system can be controlled automatically or manually, see Table
9.01.03.
Control mode Description
Auto The system automatically calculates the

ordered BN value based on the sulphur
percentage of the fuel oil.
Manual The operator manually enters the ordered

BN value
Table 9.01.03: Control modes

The engine control systems of ME-C/-GI/-LGI/-GA and ME-B-GI/-LGI engines
contain the ACOM functionality, and the crew must input the sulphur content
of the pilot fuel on the MOP.
On the ME-B engine, ACOM is a stand-alone installation controlled from an
ACOM operating panel separate to the engine control system (ME-B ECS).
2024-04-03 - en
The ship’s alarm system handles alarms.

The cylinder oil mixing volumes are kept small to enable a fast changeover
from one cylinder oil BN to another.
Two-tank cylinder lubrication system with ACOM

The ACOM design enables measurement of the daily consumption of cylinder
lubricating oil, which eliminates the need for two cylinder oil service/day tanks.
Furthermore, compared to Option 1 – the ACOS2 system in Fig. 9.01.01, the
ACOM system also eliminates the need for a heating tank.
8 (13) All engines

The cylinder lubricating oil is fed from the storage tanks to the ACOM system
by gravity. The ACOM system is located in the engine room near to and
above the cylinder lubricating oil inlet flange, AC, in a vertical distance of min-
imum 2 m. Fig. 9.01.04 shows the layout of the ACOM system.

Components for the cylinder oil lubricating systems

The next section describes the recommendations and requirements to the
components of the cylinder lubricating oil systems.
1. Cylinder oil storage tanks and/or service tanks

a) Combined storage and service tank design
It is recommended that the tank design is tall and slim to optimise settling in
the tank. The tank bottom must be sloped for easy water drainage.
b) Separate service tank design
the tank and the accuracy of readings for calculating the consumption. The
recommended length, width, and height aspect ratio is 1:1:3. The tank bot-
tom must be sloped for easy water drainage.
Capacity
The tank capacities must be determined based on hourly cylinder oil con-
sumption and the needed operating storage time. The storage time will differ
from project to project according to the time between bunkering of cylinder oil
estimated by the vessel operator. If separate cylinder oil storage tanks are in-
stalled, MAN Energy Solutions normally recommends that the capacity for the
service tanks is defined as one day.
Hourly consumption [m3/h] =

Feed rate [g/kWh] x PowerSMCR [kW] x fsafe/(1000 [g/kg] x Density [kg/m3])
▪ Feed rate [g/kWh] = ACC x S [%], the feed rate used must not be less
than 0.6 g/kWh.
▪ ACC [g/kWh] = 0.4, as the design (normally between 0.2–0.4)
▪ S [%] is the sulphur content of the fuel oil
▪ PowerSMCR [kW] is engine power at SMCR
▪ fsafe is a safety factor, fsafe = 1.2
▪ Density [kg/m3] = 900.
Location
The supply line must be located minimum 1000 mm above the top of the cyl-
inder oil heating tanks and the ACOM system.
Minimum cylinder oil temperature in the tank
2024-04-03 - en
The design minimum cylinder oil temperature in the tank is 25°C.

If the holding temperature is lower, the size of the heating element in the heat-
ing tank and the pipe dimension from the service tank to the heating tank
must be increased.
Outlet pipe dimension
Min. DN32 (min. DN40 if 0°C is the minimum cylinder oil temperature design
criteria)
10 (13) All engines

2. Filter
Fineness (absolute): 250 μm
3. Cylinder oil heating tanks and ACOM tanks

Capacity: Approx. 40 litres
Location
The bottom of the heating tank must be minimum 2000 mm above the engine
connection 'AC'.
Heating element size
Can be calculated as: Heat [W] = PowerSMCR [kW] x fheat [W/kW]
▪ PowerSMCR [kW] is engine power at SMCR
▪ fheat25 [W/kW] = 0.0078 for low-sulphur (0.5% S) engines (based on service
tank holding temperature, Th = 25°C)
▪ fheat25 [W/kW] = 0.0183 for high-sulphur (3.5% S) engines (based on ser-
vice tank holding temperature, Th = 25°C)
If a lower holding temperature is considered, fheat must be:
fheat = (45-Th act) x fheat25/20
Where Th act [°C] is the actual service tank holding temperature.
▪ Inlet pipe dimension: Min. DN32 (min. DN40, if 0°C service tank holding
temperature is the design criteria)
▪ Outlet pipe dimension: Min. DN32
▪ Vent pipe dimension: Min. DN32

▪ Level alarm low switch: Guidance values for automation (GVA) tag no. LS
8212 AL
4. Electrical heat tracing and insulation

Location
The entire pipeline from heating tank to engine must be fitted with insulation
and electrical heat tracing.
Electrical tracing cable connection
The electrical tracing cable (shipyard supply) must be connected to the ter-
minal box installed internally at the engine. Fig. 9.01.05 shows the arrange-
ment.

5. Automatic cylinder oil switch – ACOS2

▪ Type: three-way ball valve (L-bored)
▪ Actuator: Pneumatic single acting type with spring return to position “High
BN cylinder oil”
▪ Solenoid valve: 3/2 type with silencer
▪ Controlled by: Engine control system – control signal XC8260 (24 V DC),
closed contact = “Low BN cylinder oil”
▪ Valve position feed-back to: engine control system - feed-back signal
ZS8261 (potential free contact) - “Low BN cylinder oil”
▪ Engine control system - feed-back signal ZS8262 (potential free contact) -
“High BN cylinder oil”
▪ Valve location: Must be located as close as possible to the heating tank.
6. Cylinder oil storage tanks (Optional)

Purpose
If for some reason, for example owner requirement, or if it is not possible to
locate the needed storage capacity in the service tanks at the required vertical
elevation level, independent storage tanks can be used.
Tank design
the tank. The tank bottom must be sloped for easy water drainage.
Capacity
The capacities of the tanks must be determined based on hourly cylinder oil
consumption and the needed operating storage time. The needed storage
time will differ from project to project according to the time between bunker-
ing of cylinder oil estimated by the vessel operator.
For calculating hourly consumption [m3/h], reference is made to section “Cyl-
inder oil storage tanks and/or service tanks” – “Capacity”.
7. Cylinder oil transfer pumps (Optional)

Purpose
To transfer the cylinder oil between storage tanks and service tanks.
Option
If one transfer pump is used for pumping both cylinder oils, it has to be se-
cured that the pump suction/discharge valves are interlocked with each other
to avoid unintended blending of the two cylinder oils with different BN values.
2024-04-03 - en
8. Flowmeter (Optional)
Location
Installation options:
▪ Located between service tank and cylinder oil heating tank *)
▪ Located between cylinder oil heating tank and engine. Only a Coriolis type
can be used *)
▪ Located between storage tanks and service tanks.
*) These flowmeter locations can result in unreliable measurements because
of the very low flow.
12 (13) All engines

Type
A mass flowmeter of the Coriolis type can be recommended based on: low
differential pressure, no built-in non-return function, and it provides mass flow
results (not a volumetric result).
Vent pipes for twin engine plants (Note 1):
▪ ACOS2 system: A separate vent pipe must be used from each engine
heating tank
▪ ACOM system: A separate vent pipe must be used from each engine
ACOM BN mixing tank.

Alpha ACC cylinder lubrication system

The MAN B&W Alpha cylinder lubrication system, see Figs. 9.02.02a, 02b and
02c, is designed to supply cylinder oil intermittently, for instance every 2, 4 or
8 engine revolutions with electronically controlled timing and dosage at a
defined position.
Traditional two-tank cylinder lubrication system

Separate storage and service tanks are installed for each of the different Base
Number (BN) cylinder oils used onboard ships operating on both high- and
low-sulphur fuels, see Fig. 9.02.02a.
The cylinder lubricating oil is pumped from the cylinder oil storage tank to the
service tank, the size of which depends on the owner’s and the yard’s re-
quirements, – it is normally dimensioned for about one week’s cylinder lubric-
ating oil consumption.
Oil feed to the Alpha cylinder lubrication system

Cylinder lubricating oil is fed to the Alpha cylinder lubrication system by gravity
from the service tank or ACOM.
The oil fed to the injectors is pressurised by the Alpha Lubricator which is
placed on the hydraulic cylinder unit (HCU) and equipped with small multi-pis-
ton pumps.
The oil pipes fitted on the engine are shown in Fig. 9.02.04.
The whole system is controlled by the Cylinder Control Unit (CCU) which con-
trols the injection frequency based on the engine-speed signal given by the
tacho signal and the fuel index.
Prior to start-up, the cylinders can be pre-lubricated and, during the running-
in period, the operator can choose to increase the lubricating oil feed rate to a
9.02 Alpha ACC cylinder lubrication system

max. setting of 200%.
The MAN B&W Alpha Cylinder Lubricator is preferably to be controlled in ac-
cordance with the Alpha ACC (Adaptable Cylinder Oil Control) feed rate sys-
tem.
The yard supply should be according to the items shown in Fig. 9.02.02a
within the broken line.
Regarding the filter and the small tank for heater, please see Fig. 9.02.05.
Alpha Lubricator variants

2023-03-28 - en
Since the Alpha Lubricator on ME and ME-B engines are controlled by the en-
gine control system, it is also referred to as the ME lubricator on those en-
gines.
A more advanced version with improved injection flexibility, the Alpha Lubric-
ator Mk 2, is being introduced on the G95/50/45/40ME-C9 and S50MEC9 in-
cluding their GI dual fuel variants.
Further information about the Alpha Lubricator Mk 2 is available in our public-

Alpha Adaptive Cylinder Oil Control (Alpha ACC)

It is a well-known fact that the actual need for cylinder oil quantity varies with
the operational conditions such as load and fuel oil quality. Consequently, in
order to perform the optimal lubrication – cost’effectively as well as technically
– the cylinder lubricating oil dosage should follow such operational variations
accordingly.
The Alpha lubricating system offers the possibility of saving a considerable
amount of cylinder lubricating oil per year and, at the same time, to obtain a
safer and more predictable cylinder condition.
Alpha ACC (Adaptive Cylinder-oil Control) is the lubrication mode for MAN
B&W two-stroke engines, i.e. lube oil dosing proportional to the engine load
and proportional to the sulphur content in the fuel oil being burnt.
Working Principle
The feed rate control should be adjusted in relation to the actual fuel quality
and amount being burnt at any given time.
The following criteria determine the control:
▪ The cylinder oil dosage shall be proportional to the sulphur percentage in
the fuel
▪ The cylinder oil dosage shall be proportional to the engine load (i.e. the
amount of fuel entering the cylinders)
▪ The actual feed rate is dependent of the operating pattern and determined
based on engine wear, cylinder condition and BN of the cylinder oil.
The implementation of the above criteria will lead to an optimal cylinder oil
dosage.
Specific Minimum Dosage with Alpha ACC

The recommendations are valid for all plants, whether controllable pitch or
fixed pitch propellers are used. The specific minimum dosage at lowersulphur
fuels is set at 0.6 g/kWh.
After a running-in period of 500 hours, the feed rate sulphur proportional
factor is 0.20 - 0.40 g/kWh × S%. The actual ACC factor will be based on cyl-
inder condition, and preferably a cylinder oil feed rate sweep test should be
applied. The ACC factor is also referred to as the Feed Rate Factor (FRF).
2023-03-28 - en
Examples of average cylinder oil consumption based on calculations of the

average worldwide sulphur content used on MAN B&W two-stroke engines
are shown in Fig. 9.02.01a and b.

Fig. 9.02.01b: FRF = 0.26 g/kWh × S% and BN 100 cylinder oil – average
consumption less than 0.7 g/kWh

tions' most current Service Letters on this subject available at www.mar-

Cylinder Oil Pipe Heating

2023-03-28 - en
In case of low engine room temperature, it can be difficult to keep the cylinder
oil temperature at 45°C at the MAN B&W Alpha Lubricator, mounted on the
hydraulic cylinder.
Therefore the cylinder oil pipe from the small tank for heater element in the
vessel, Fig. 9.02.02a, or from the ACOM, Fig. 9.02.02b, and the main cylinder
oil pipe on the engine is insulated and electricallly heated.
The engine builder is to make the insulation and heating of the main cylinder
oil pipe on the engine. Moreover, the engine builder is to mount the terminal
box and the thermostat on the engine, see Fig. 9.02.03.
95-60 ME/ME-C 3 (10)

The ship yard is to make the insulation of the cylinder oil pipe in the engine
room. The heating cable is to be mounted from the small tank for heater ele-
ment or the ACOM to the terminal box on the engine, see Figs. 9.02.02a and
02b.

Stuffing Box Drain Oil System

For engines running on heavy fuel, it is important that the oil drained from the
piston rod stuffing boxes is not led directly into the system oil, as the oil
drained from the stuffing box is mixed with sludge from the scavenge air
space.
The performance of the piston rod stuffing box on the engines has proved to
be very efficient, primarily because the hardened piston rod allows a higher
scraper ring pressure.
The amount of drain oil from the stuffing boxes is typically about 10 - 15 litres/
24 hours per cylinder during normal service. In the running-in period, it can be
higher. The drain oil is a mixture of system oil from the crankcase, used cylin-
der oil, combustion residues and water from humidity in the scavenge air.
The relatively small amount of drain oil is led to the general oily waste drain
tank or is burnt in the incinerator, Fig. 10.01.01. (Yard’s supply).

Low-temperature Cooling Water System

The low-temperature (LT) cooling water system supplies cooling water for the
lubricating oil, jacket water and scavenge air coolers.
The LT cooling water system can be arranged in several configurations like a:
▪ Central cooling water system being the most common system choice and
the basic execution for MAN B&W engines, EoD: 4 45 111
▪ Seawater cooling system being the most simple system and available as
an option: 4 45 110
▪ Combined cooling water system with seawater cooled scavenge air
cooler but freshwater cooled jacket water and lubricating oil cooler, avail-
able as an option: 4 45 117.
Principle diagrams of the above LT cooling water systems are shown in Fig.
11.01.01a, b and c and descriptions are found later in this chapter.
Further information and the latest recommendations concerning cooling water
systems are found in MAN Energy SolutionsService Letters available at
www.marine.man-es.com --> 'Two-Stroke' --> 'Service Letters'.
Chemical Corrosion Inhibition

Various types of inhibitors are available but, generally, only nitrite-borate
based inhibitors are recommended.
Where the inhibitor maker specifies a certain range as normal concentration,
we recommend to maintain the actual concentration in the upper end of that
range.
MAN Energy Solutions recommends keeping a record of all tests to follow the
condition and chemical properties of the cooling water and notice how it de-
velops. It is recommended to record the quality of water as follows:
11.01 Low-temperature Cooling Water System

▪ Once a week:
Take a sample from the circulating water during running, however not
from the expansion tank nor the pipes leading to the tank. Check the con-
dition of the cooling water. Test kits with instructions are normally avail-
able from the inhibitor supplier.
▪ Every third month:
Take a water sample from the system during running, as described above
in ‘Once a week’. Send the sample for laboratory analysis.
▪ Once a year:
Empty, flush and refill the cooling water system. Add the inhibitor. For fur-
ther information please refer to our recommendations for treatment of the
jacket water/ freshwater. The recommendations are available from MAN

Cooling System for Main Engines with EGR

For main engines with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a central cooling sys-
tem using freshwater as cooling media will be specified.

Central cooling water system

The central cooling water system is characterized by having only one heat ex-
changer cooled by seawater. The other coolers, including the jacket water
cooler, are then cooled by central cooling water.
Cooling water temperature

To achieve an optimal engine performance regarding fuel oil consumption and
cylinder condition, it is important to ensure the lowest possible cooling water
inlet temperature at the scavenge air cooler.
MAN Energy Solutions therefore recommends or requires (depending on the
engine type) that the temperature control valve in the central cooling water cir-
cuit is to be set to minimum 10°C. Alternatively, if flow control of the seawater
pumps is used, the setpoint is to be approximately 4°C above the seawater
temperature but not lower than a temperature of 10°C.
In this way, the temperature follows the outboard seawater temperature when
the central cooling water temperature exceeds 10°C, see note 1 in
Fig. 11.02.01.

Cooling water pump capacities

The pump capacities listed by MAN Energy Solutions cover the requirement of
the main engine only.
For any given plant, the specific capacities have to be determined according
to the actual plant specification and the number of auxiliary equipment. Such
equipment include GenSets, starting air compressors, provision compressors,
airconditioning compressors, etc.
A guideline for selecting centrifugal pumps is given in Section 6.04.
Cooling water piping

Orifices (or lockable adjustable valves for instance) must be installed in order
to create:
▪ the proper distribution of flow between each of the central cooling water
consumers, see note 2)
▪ a differential pressure identical to that of the central cooler at nominal
central cooling water pump capacity, see note 3).
References are made to Fig. 11.02.01.
For external pipe connections, we prescribe the following maximum water ve-
locities:
Central cooling water 3.0 m/s

Seawater 3.0 m/s
Expansion tank volume

The expansion tank must be designed as open to atmosphere. Venting pipes
entering the tank must terminate below the lowest possible water level, i.e.
below the low-level alarm.
The expansion tank volume has to be 10% of the total central cooling water
amount in the system.
11.02 Central cooling water system
The 10% expansion tank volume is defined as the volume between the lowest
level (at the low-level alarm sensor) and the overflow pipe or high-level alarm
sensor.
If the pipe system is designed with possible air pockets, these have to be ven-
ted to the expansion tank.

Seawater Cooling System

The seawater cooling system is an option for cooling the main engine lubricat-
ing oil cooler, the jacket water cooler and the scavenge air cooler by seawa-
ter, see Fig. 11.04.01. The seawater system consists of pumps and a thermo-
static valve.
Cooling Water Temperature

The capacity of the seawater pump is based on the outlet temperature of the
seawater being maximum 50°C after passing through the main engine lubric-
ating oil cooler, the jacket water cooler and the scavenge air cooler.
With an inlet temperature of maximum 32°C (tropical conditions), the max-
imum temperature increase is 18°C.
In order to prevent the lubricating oil from stiffening during cold services, a
thermostatic valve is to be installed. The thermostatic valve recirculates all or
part of the seawater to the suction side of the pumps. A set point of 10°C en-
sures that the cooling water to the cooling consumers will never fall below this
temperature, see note 1 in Fig. 11.04.01.

Combined Cooling Water System

The combined cooling water system is characterized by having one heat ex-
changer and the scavenge air cooler cooled by seawater. The other coolers,
including the jacket water cooler, are then cooled by central cooling water.
In this system, the cooling water to the scavenge air cooler will always be ap-
prox. 4°C lower than in a central cooling water system.
Cooling Water Temperature

The capacity of the seawater pumps, central cooler pumps are based on the
outlet temperature of the freshwater being maximum 54°C after passing
through the main engine lubricating oil cooler.
With an inlet temperature of maximum 36°C (tropical conditions), the max-
imum temperature increase is 18°C.
The temperature control valve in the central cooling water circuit can be set to
minimum 10°C and maximum 36°C, see note 1 in Fig. 11.06.01.

Alternatively, in case flow control of the seawater pumps is applied, the set
point is to be approximately 4°C above the seawater temperature but not
lower than 10°C.
In order to avoid seawater temperatures below 0°C at the scavenge air cooler

High-temperature cooling water system

The high-temperature (HT) cooling water system, also known as the jacket
cooling water (JCW) system, is used for cooling the cylinder unit components
of the main engine and heating of the fuel oil drain pipes, see Fig. 12.01.01 to
12.01.04.
The jacket water pump draws water from the jacket water cooler outlet
through a deaerating tank, and delivers it to the engine.
A thermostatically controlled regulating valve is located at the inlet, or alternat-
ively at the outlet from the cooler. The regulating valve keeps the main engine
cooling water outlet at a fixed temperature level, independent of the engine
load.
A deaerating tank alarm device is installed between the deaerating tank and
the expansion tank. The purpose of the alarm device is to sound an alarm if a
large amount of gas is detected in the JCW circuit, for example caused by a
cylinder liner rupture.
An expansion tank is installed to create a sufficient static pressure in the JCW
system and to provide space for the water to expand and contract. The ex-
pansion tank must be placed at least 15 m above the top of the main engine
exhaust gas valves.
The engine jacket water must be carefully treated, maintained and monitored
to avoid corrosion, corrosion fatigue, cavitation and scale formation. There-
fore, it is recommended installing a chemical corrosion inhibitor dosing tank
and a means to take water samples from the JCW system.
Chemical corrosion inhibition

Various types of inhibitors are available but, generally, only nitrite-borate
based inhibitors are recommended.
12.01 High-temperature cooling water system

Where the inhibitor maker specifies the normal concentration as a specific
range, MAN Energy Solutions recommends maintaining the actual concentra-
tion in the upper end of that range.
MAN Energy Solutions recommends keeping a record of all tests to follow the
condition and chemical properties of the cooling water, and notice how it de-
velops. It is recommended recording the quality of water as follows:
▪ Once a week:
Take a sample from the circulating water during running, however, not
from the expansion tank or the pipes leading to the tank. Check the con-
dition of the cooling water. Test kits with instructions are normally avail-
able from the inhibitor supplier.
2023-04-21 - en
▪ Every third month:

Take a water sample from the system during running, as described above
in "Once a week". Send the sample for laboratory analysis.
▪ Once a year:
Empty, flush and refill the cooling water system. Add the inhibitor.
For further information, refer to our recommendations for treatment of the
jacket water/freshwater. The recommendations are available from MAN En-
ergy Solutions, Copenhagen.
All engines 1 (11)

Cooling water drain for maintenance

For maintenance of the main engine, a drain arrangement is installed at the
engine. By this drain arrangement, the jacket cooling water can be drained to,
for example, a freshwater drain tank for possible reuse of the chemical corro-
sion inhibitor-treated water.
Preheater system
During short stays in port (that is, less than 4-5 days), it is recommended that
the engine is kept preheated. The purpose is to prevent temperature vari-
ations in the engine structure and corresponding variations in thermal expan-
sion and possible leakages.
The jacket cooling water outlet temperature should be kept as high as pos-
sible and should (before starting up) be increased to at least 50°C. Preheating
could be provided by a built-in preheater in the jacket cooling water system,
by means of cooling water from the auxiliary engines, or a combination of the
two.
Preheating procedure
To protect the engine and to avoid corrosive attacks on the cylinder liners dur-
ing starting, minimum temperature restrictions must be considered before
starting the engine.
Normal engine start, fixed pitch propeller
A minimum engine jacket water temperature of 50°C is recommended before
starting the engine and gradually running it up to 80-90% SMCR speed
(SMCR rpm) during a 30 minute period.
To run up the engine to 90-100% SMCR rpm, it is recommended increasing
the speed slowly during a period of 60 minutes.

Start of cold engine, fixed pitch propeller
In exceptional circumstances where it is not possible to comply with the
above recommendation, a minimum temperature of 20°C can be accepted
before the engine is started and slowly run up to 80% SMCR rpm.
Before exceeding 80% SMCR rpm, a minimum jacket water temperature of
50°C should be obtained before the above described normal load-up proced-
ure for starting the engine can be continued.
Note:
The above considerations for starting a cold engine are based on the as-
sumption that the engine has already been well run in.

Jacket water thermostatic regulating valve

The main engine cooling water outlet temperature should be kept at a fixed
temperature of 85°C, independent of the engine load. This is done by a three-
way thermostatic regulating valve.
The controller of the thermostatically controlled regulating valve must be able
to receive a remote, variable set-point given by the main engine control sys-
tem (ECS). The variable set-point corresponds to the main engine jacket water
inlet temperature required for keeping the main engine outlet temperature at
the specified 85°C.
The reference measurement temperature sensor must be located after the
water has been mixed, i.e. between the cooler/cooler bypass and the jacket
water pumps as indicated in Fig. 12.01.01.
Jacket water flow see ‘List of capacities’

Max. pressure drop ~0.3 bar
Actuator type electric or pneumatic is recommended
Leak rate less than 0.5% of nominal flow
Note:
A low valve leak rate specified for the valve port against the cooler will provide
better utilisation of the heat available for the freshwater production.
Valve controller specification:
Remote set-point signal standard 4-20 mA

Range 0-4 mA = 65°C; 20 mA = 95°C
Expansion tank
The expansion tank must be designed as an open tank towards the atmo-
sphere. Venting pipes entering the tank must terminate below the lowest pos-
sible water level, i.e. below the low-level alarm.
The expansion tank must be located at least 15 m above the top of the main
engine exhaust gas valves.
The expansion tank volume has to be at least 10% of the total jacket cooling
water (JWC) amount in the system.
The 10% expansion tank volume is defined as the volume between the lowest

Chemical corrosion inhibitor and dosing tank

In order to properly mix the inhibitor into the JCW system, the tank must be
designed to receive a small flow of JCW through the tank from the jacket wa-

liquid form.
Recommended tank size 0.3 m3

Design pressure max. JCW system pressure
Suggested inlet orifice size ø10 mm
Other dosing point options, besides the above dosing tank proposal, are
available. If the following requirements are met, the expansion tank can be
used, for example.
▪ The expansion tank must be designed as an open tank towards the en-
gine room
▪ A continuous small jacket water flow is established through the tank. This
means that there is a pipe connection from the jacket water pump dis-
charge side via the expansion tank to the suction side of the jacket water
pump.

Heating capacity see the note below *)
Preheater type steam, thermal, oil, or electrical
Working temperature 50-85°C
Max. working temperature up to 100 °C
Max. pressure drop on jacket water side ~0.2 bar
*) The preheater heating capacity depends on the required preheating time

and the required temperature increase of the engine jacket water. Fig.
12.02.03 shows the temperature and time relations. In general, a temperature
increase of about 35°C (from 15°C to 50°C) is required, and a preheating time
of 12 hours requires a preheater capacity of about 1% of the engine NMCR
power.

Freshwater generator installation

If a generator is installed in the ship for production of freshwater by utilising
the heat in the jacket water cooling system, it should be noted that the actual
available heat in the jacket water system is lower than indicated by the heat
dissipation figures in ‘List of capacities‘.
6 (7) 95-80 engines

The reason is that the latter figure is used for dimensioning the jacket water
cooler and therefore incorporates a safety margin which can be needed when
the engine is operating under conditions such as overload. Normally, this mar-
gin is 10% at SMCR.
The calculation of the heat actually available at SMCR for a derated diesel en-
gine can be made in the CEAS application described in Section 20.02.
A freshwater generator installation is shown in Fig. 12.01.01.
Calculation method
When using a normal freshwater generator of the single-effect vacuum evap-
orator type, the freshwater production (based on the available JCW heat for
design purpose, Qd-jw) can, for guidance, be estimated as 0.03 t/24h/kW heat:
Mfw = 0.03 × Qd-jw t/24h
Where:
Mfw: Freshwater production (tonnes per 24 hours)
Qd-jw = Qjw50% × Tol.-15% (kW)
Where
Qjw50[%]: Jacket water heat at 50% SMCR engine load at ISO condition (kW)
Tol.-15[%]: Minus tolerance of 15% = 0.85
If more heat is utilised than the heat available at 50% SMCR and/or when us-
ing the freshwater generator below 50% engine load, a special temperature
control system must be incorporated. The purpose is to ensure that the JWC
temperature at the outlet from the engine does not fall below a certain level.
Such a temperature control system may consist of a thermostatic three-way
valve as shown in Fig. 12.01.01 or a special built-in temperature control in the
freshwater generator, e.g. an automatic start/stop function, or similar.
If more heat is utilised than the heat available at 50% SMCR, the freshwater
production may for guidance be estimated as:
Mfw = 0.03 × Qd-jw t/24h
Where
Mfw : Freshwater production (tonness per 24 hours)
Qd-jw = QjwNCR × Tol.-15% (kW)
Where
QjwNCR: Jacket water heat at NCR engine load at ISO condition (kW)
Tol.-15%: Minus tolerance of 15% = 0.85

Starting and control air systems

The starting air of 30 bar is supplied by the starting air compressors to the
starting air receivers and from these to the main engine inlet ‘A’.
Through a reduction station, filtered compressed air at 7 bar is supplied to the
control air for exhaust valve air springs, through engine inlet ‘B’
Through a reduction valve, compressed air is supplied at approx. 7 bar to
‘AP’ for turbocharger cleaning (soft blast), and a minor volume used for the
fuel valve testing unit. The specific air pressure required for turbocharger
cleaning is subject to make and type of turbocharger.
Please note that the air consumption for control air, safety air, turbocharger
cleaning, sealing air for exhaust valve, for fuel valve testing unit and venting of
gas pipes are momentary requirements of the consumers.
The components of the starting and control air systems are further described
in Section 13.02.

14 Scavenge Air
Scavenge Air System

Scavenge air is supplied to the engine by two or more turbochargers, located
on the exhaust side of the engine. The compressor of the turbocharger draws
air from the engine room, through an air filter, and the compressed air is
cooled by the scavenge air cooler, one per turbocharger. The scavenge air
cooler is provided with a water mist catcher, which prevents condensate wa-
ter from being carried with the air into the scavenge air receiver and to the
combustion chamber.
The scavenge air system (see Figs. 14.01.01 and 14.02.01) is an integrated
part of the main engine. The engine power figures and the data in the list of
capacities are based on MCR at tropical conditions, i.e. a seawater temperat-
ure of 32°C, or freshwater temperature of 36°C, and an ambient air inlet tem-
perature of 45°C.

Auxiliary blowers
The engine is provided with a minimum of two electrically driven auxiliary
blowers, the actual number depending on the number of cylinders as well as
the turbocharger make and amount.
The auxiliary blowers are integrated in the reversing chamber below the scav-
enge air cooler. Between the scavenge air cooler and the scavenge air re-
ceiver, non-return valves are fitted which close automatically when the auxili-
ary blowers start supplying the scavenge air.
Auxiliary Blower Operation

The auxiliary blowers start operating consecutively before the engine is started
and will ensure complete scavenging of the cylinders in the starting phase,
thus providing the best conditions for a safe start.
During operation of the engine, the auxiliary blowers will start automatically
whenever the blower inlet pressure drops below a preset pressure, corres-
ponding to an engine load of approximately 25-35%.
The blowers will continue to operate until the blower inlet pressure again ex-
ceeds the preset pressure plus an appropriate hysteresis (i.e. taking recent
pressure history into account), corresponding to an engine load of approxim-
ately 30-40%.
Emergency Running
If one of the auxiliary blowers is out of function, the other auxiliary blower will
function in the system, without any manual adjustment of the valves being ne-
cessary.

95-60ME-C/-GI/-GA/-LGI 1 (3)
Control of the Auxiliary Blowers

The control system for the auxiliary blowers is integrated in the Engine Control
System. The auxiliary blowers can be controlled in either automatic (default) or
manual mode.
In automatic mode, the auxiliary blowers are started sequentially at the mo-
ment the engine is commanded to start. During engine running, the blowers
are started and stopped according to preset scavenge air pressure limits.
When the engine stops, the blowers are stopped after 30 minutes to prevent
overheating of the blowers. When a start is ordered, the blower will be started
in the normal sequence and the actual start of the engine will be delayed until
the blowers have started.
In manual mode, the blowers can be controlled individually from the ECR (En-
gine Control Room) panel irrespective of the engine condition.
Referring to Fig. 14.02.02, the Auxiliary Blower Starter Panels control and pro-
tect the Auxiliary Blower motors, one panel with starter per blower.
The starter panels with starters for the auxiliary blower motors are not in-
cluded, they can be ordered as an option: 4 55 653. (The starter panel design
and function is according to MAN Energy Solutions’s diagram, however, the
physical layout and choice of components has to be decided by the manufac-
turer).
Heaters for the blower motors are available as an option: 4 55 155.
Scavenge Air Cooler Requirements

The data for the scavenge air cooler is specified in the description of the cool-
ing water system chosen.

Electric motor for auxiliary blower

The number of auxiliary blowers in a propulsion plant may vary depending on
the actual amount of turbochargers as well as space requirements.
Motor start method and size

Direct Online Start (DOL) is required for all auxiliary blower electric motors to
ensure proper operation under all conditions.
For typical engine configurations, the installed size of the electric motors for
auxiliary blowers are listed in Table 14.04.01.
Special operating conditions

For engines with Dynamic Positioning (DP) mode in manoeuvring system, op-
tion: 4 06 111, larger electric motors are required. This is in order to avoid
start and stop of the blowers inside the load range specified for dynamic posi-
tioning. The actual load range is to be decided between the owner and the
yard.
Engine plants with waste heat recovery exhaust gas bypass and engines with
low-and part-load exhaust gas bypass may require less blower capacity,
please contact MAN Energy Solutions, Copenhagen.

chamber above the air cooler element.
Drain from water mist catcher

Sludge is drained through ‘AL’ to the drain water collecting tank and the pol-
luted grease dissolvent returns from ‘AM’, through a filter, to the chemical
cleaning tank. The cleaning must be carried out while the engine is at stand-
still.
Dirty water collected after the water mist catcher is drained through ‘DX’ and
led to the bilge tank via an open funnel, see Fig. 14.05.02.
2023-09-29 - en
The ‘AL’ drain line is, during running, used as a permanent drain from the air
cooler water mist catcher. The water is led through an orifice to prevent major
losses of scavenge air.
The system is equipped with a drain box with a level switch, indicating any ex-
cessive water level.

Scavenge air box drain system
General
The scavenge air box is continuously drained through ‘AV’ to a small pressur-
ised drain tank, from where the sludge is led to the sludge tank. Steam can be
applied through ‘BV’, if required, to facilitate the draining. See Fig. 14.06.01.
The continuous drain from the engine scavenge air area must not be directly
connected to the sludge tank due to the pressure level.
The drain tank shall be designed according to the pressurised system con-
nected to the BV connection as one of the following:
▪ Steam maximum working pressure
▪ Compressed air maximum working pressure
It is recommended that the drain tank is placed close to the engine to avoid
lon piping between engine and drain tank and thereby minimize the risk of the
pipe being blocked by sludge.

grating is placed between the exhaust gas receiver and the turbocharger. The
turbocharger is fitted with a pick-up for monitoring and remote indication of
the turbocharger speed.
The exhaust gas receiver and the exhaust pipes are provided with insulation,
covered by steel plating
Turbocharger Arrangement and Cleaning System

The turbochargers are located on the exhaust side of the engine.
The engine is designed for the installation of the MAN turbocharger type TCA,
option: 4 59 101, Accelleron turbocharger type A-L, option: 4 59 102, or MHI
turbocharger type MET, option: 4 59 103.
All makes of turbochargers are fitted with an arrangement for water washing
of the compressor side, and soft blast cleaning of the turbine side, see Figs.
15.02.02, 15.02.03 and 15.02.04. Washing of the turbine side is only applic-
able on MAN turbochargers, though not for dual fuel engines.

Exhaust Gas System for Main Engine

At the specified MCR of the engine, the total back-pressure in the exhaust
gas system after the turbocharger (as indicated by the static pressure meas-
ured in the piping after the turbocharger) must not exceed 350 mm WC
(0.035 bar).
In order to have a back-pressure margin for the final system, it is recommen-

ded at the design stage to initially use a value of about 300 mm WC (0.030
bar).
The actual back-pressure in the exhaust gas system at specified MCR de-
pends on the gas velocity, i.e. it is proportional to the square of the exhaust
gas velocity, and hence inversely proportional to the pipe diameter to the 4th
power. It has by now become normal practice in order to avoid too much
pressure loss in the pipings to have an exhaust gas velocity at specified MCR
of about 35 m/sec, but not higher than 50 m/sec.
For dimensioning of the external exhaust pipe connections, see the exhaust
pipe diameters for 35 m/sec, 40 m/sec, 45 m/sec and 50 m/sec respectively,
shown in Table 15.07.02.
As long as the total back-pressure of the exhaust gas system (incorporating

all resistance losses from pipes and components) complies with the above-
mentioned requirements, the pressure losses across each component may be
chosen independently, see proposed measuring points (M) in Fig. 15.05.01.
The general design guidelines for each component, described below, can be
used for guidance purposes at the initial project stage.
Exhaust Gas Piping System for main Engine

The exhaust gas piping system conveys the gas from the outlet of the tur-
15.03 Exhaust Gas System for Main Engine

bocharger(s) to the atmosphere.
The exhaust piping is shown schematically in Fig. 15.04.01.
The exhaust system for the main engine comprises:
▪ Exhaust gas pipes
▪ Exhaust gas boiler
▪ Silencer
▪ Spark arrester (if needed)
▪ Expansion joints (compensators)
▪ Pipe bracings.
2022-05-02 - en
In connection with dimensioning the exhaust gas piping system, the following
parameters must be observed:
▪ Exhaust gas flow rate
▪ Exhaust gas temperature at turbocharger outlet
▪ Maximum pressure drop through exhaust gas system
▪ Maximum noise level at gas outlet to atmosphere
▪ Maximum force from exhaust piping on turbocharger(s)
▪ Sufficient axial and lateral elongation ability of expansion joints
▪ Utilisation of the heat energy of the exhaust gas.
ME-B/ME/ME-C/-GI/-GA, MC/MC-C 1 (2)

Items that are to be calculated or read from tables are:

▪ Exhaust gas mass flow rate, temperature and maximum back pressure at
turbocharger gas outlet
▪ Diameter of exhaust gas pipes
▪ Utilisation of the exhaust gas energy
▪ Attenuation of noise from the exhaust pipe outlet
▪ Pressure drop across the exhaust gas system
▪ Expansion joints.

System components
Exhaust gas compensator after turbocharger

When dimensioning the compensator, option: 4 60 610, for the expansion
joint on the turbocharger gas outlet transition piece, option: 4 60 601, the ex-
haust gas piece and components, are to be so arranged that the thermal ex-
pansions are absorbed by expansion joints. The heat expansion of the pipes
and the components is to be calculated based on a temperature increase
from 20°C to 250°C. The max. expected vertical, transversal and longitudinal
heat expansion of the engine measured at the top of the exhaust gas trans-
ition piece of the turbocharger outlet are indicated in Fig. 15.06.01 and Table
15.06.01 as DA, DB and DC.
The movements stated are related to the engine seating, for DC, however, to
the engine centre. The figures indicate the axial and the lateral movements re-
lated to the orientation of the expansion joints.
The expansion joints are to be chosen with an elasticity that limits the forces
and the moments of the exhaust gas outlet flange of the turbocharger as
stated for each of the turbocharger makers in Table 15.06.02. The orientation
of the maximum permissible forces and moments on the gas outlet flange of
the turbocharger is shown in Fig. 15.06.02.

Exhaust gas boiler

Engine plants are usually designed for utilisation of the heat energy of the ex-
haust gas for steam production or for heating the thermal oil system. The ex-
haust gas passes an exhaust gas boiler which is usually placed near the en-
gine top or in the funnel.
It should be noted that the exhaust gas temperature and flow rate are influ-
enced by the ambient conditions, for which reason this should be considered
when the exhaust gas boiler is planned. At specified MCR, the maximum re-
commended pressure loss across the exhaust gas boiler is normally 150 mm
WC.
This pressure loss depends on the pressure losses in the rest of the system
as mentioned above. Therefore, if an exhaust gas silencer/spark arrester is
not installed, the acceptable pressure loss across the boiler may be some-
what higher than the max. of 150 mm WC, whereas, if an exhaust gas silen-
cer/spark arrester is installed, it may be necessary to reduce the maximum
pressure loss.
The above mentioned pressure loss across the exhaust gas boiler must in-
clude the pressure losses from the inlet and outlet transition pieces.

Exhaust gas silencer with L1 at 72 rpm

The typical octave band sound pressure levels from the diesel engine’s ex-
haust gas system – at a distance of one meter from the top of the exhaust
gas uptake – are shown in Fig.15.04.02.
The need for an exhaust gas silencer can be decided based on the require-
ment of a maximum permissible noise level at a specific position.
The exhaust gas noise data is valid for an exhaust gas system without boiler
and silencer, etc.
The noise level is at nominal MCR at a distance of one meter from the exhaust
gas pipe outlet edge at an angle of 30° to the gas flow direction.
For each doubling of the distance, the noise level will be reduced by about 6
dB (far-field law).
When the noise level at the exhaust gas outlet to the atmosphere needs to be
silenced, a silencer can be placed in the exhaust gas piping system after the
exhaust gas boiler.
The exhaust gas silencer is usually of the absorption type and is dimensioned
for a gas velocity of approximately 35 m/s through the central tube of the si-
lencer.
An exhaust gas silencer can be designed based on the required damping of
noise from the exhaust gas given on the graph.
In the event that an exhaust gas silencer is required – this depends on the ac-
tual noise level requirement on the bridge wing, which is normally maximum
60-70 dB(A) – a simple flow silencer of the absorption type is recommended.
Depending on the manufacturer, this type of silencer normally has a pressure
loss of around 20 mm WC at specified MCR.

Spark arrester
To prevent sparks from the exhaust gas being spread over deck houses, a
spark arrester can be fitted as the last component in the exhaust gas system.
It should be noted that a spark arrester contributes with a considerable pres-
sure drop, which is often a disadvantage.
It is recommended that the combined pressure loss across the silencer and/
or spark arrester should not be allowed to exceed 100 mm WC at specified
MCR. This depends, of course, on the pressure loss in the remaining part of
the system, thus if no exhaust gas boiler is installed, 200 mm WC might be al-
lowed.

Calculation of exhaust gas back-pressure

The exhaust gas back pressure after the turbocharger(s) depends on the total
pressure drop in the exhaust gas piping system.
The components, exhaust gas boiler, silencer, and spark arrester, if fitted,
usually contribute with a major part of the dynamic pressure drop through the
entire exhaust gas piping system.
The components mentioned are to be specified so that the sum of the dy-
namic pressure drop through the different components should, if possible, ap-
proach 200 mm WC at an exhaust gas flow volume corresponding to the spe-
cified MCR at tropical ambient conditions. Then there will be a pressure drop
of 100 mm WC for distribution among the remaining piping system.
Fig. 15.05.01 shows some guidelines regarding resistance coefficients and
back-pressure loss calculations which can be used, if the maker’s data for
back-pressure is not available at an early stage of the project.
The pressure loss calculations have to be based on the actual exhaust gas
amount and temperature valid for specified MCR. Some general formulas and
definitions are given in the following.
Exhaust Gas Data

M: exhaust gas amount at specified MCR in kg/sec.
T: exhaust gas temperature at specified MCR in °C
Please note that the actual exhaust gas temperature is different before and
after the boiler. The exhaust gas data valid after the turbocharger may be
found in Chapter 6.
15.05 Calculation of exhaust gas back-pressure

Mass Destiny of Exhaust Gas (ρ)
ρ ≅ 1.293 x (273 / [ 273 + T ]) x 1.015 in kg/m3
The factor 1.015 refers to the average back-pressure of 150 mm WC (0.015

bar) in the exhaust gas system.
Exhaust Gas Velocity (v)

In a pipe with diameter D the exhaust gas velocity is:
V = M/ρ x (4 / [ π x D2] ) in m/s
Pressure Losses in Pipes (Δp)

2023-06-12 - en
For a pipe element, like a bend etc., with the resistance coefficient ζ, the cor-
responding pressure loss is:
Δp = (ζ x ½ ρ [v2 x 1/9.81]) in mm WC
where the expression after ζ is the dynamic pressure of the flow in the pipe.
The friction losses in the straight pipes may, as a guidance, be estimated as :
1 mm WC per 1 diameter length
whereas the positive influence of the up-draught in the vertical pipe is normally
negligible.
All engines 1 (4)

Pressure Losses Across Components (Δp)

The pressure loss Δp across silencer, exhaust gas boiler, spark arrester, rain
water trap, etc., to be measured/ stated as shown in Fig. 15.05.01 (at spe-
cified MCR) is normally given by the relevant manufacturer.
Total Back-Pressure (ΔpM)

The total back-pressure, measured/stated as the static pressure in the pipe
after the turbocharger, is then:
ΔpM = Σ Δp
9007251239974923
where Δp incorporates all pipe elements and components etc. as described:
ΔpM has to be lower than 350 mm WC.

9007251239974923
(At design stage it is recommended to use max. 300 mm WC in order to have

some margin for fouling).
Mesuring Back Pressure

At any given position in the exhaust gas system, the total pressure of the flow
can be divided into dynamic pressure (referring to the gas velocity) and static
pressure (referring to the wall pressure, where the gas velocity is zero).
At a given total pressure of the gas flow, the combination of dynamic and
static pressure may change, depending on the actual gas velocity. The meas-
urements, in principle, give an indication of the wall pressure, i.e., the static
pressure of the gas flow.
It is, therefore, very important that the back pressure measuring points are
located on a straight part of the exhaust gas pipe, and at some distance from
an ‘obstruction‘, i.e. at a point where the gas flow, and thereby also the static
pressure, is stable. Taking measurements, for example, in a transition piece,
may lead to an unreliable measurement of the static pressure.
In consideration of the above, therefore, the total back pressure of the system
has to be measured after the turbocharger in the circular pipe and not in the
transition piece. The same considerations apply to the measuring points be-
fore and after the exhaust gas boiler, etc.

Units, layout and interfaces

The Engine Control System (ECS) for the ME engine is prepared for conven-
tional remote control, having an interface to the Bridge Control system and
the Local Operating Panel (LOP).
Control units for specific tasks described below are based on the available
module types in the Triton hardware platform.
The layout of the Engine Control System is shown in Figs. 16.01.01, the
mechanical-hydraulic system is shown in Figs. 16.01.02a and b, and the
pneumatic system, shown in Fig. 16.01.03.
The ME system has a high level of redundancy. It has been a requirement to
its design that no single failure related to the system may cause the engine to
stop. In most cases, a single failure will not affect the performance or power
availability, or only partly do so by activating a slow down.
It should be noted that any controller could be replaced without stopping the
engine, which will revert to normal operation immediately after the replace-
ment of the defective unit.
Main operating panel

Two redundant main operating panel (MOP) screens are available for the en-
gineer to carry out engine commands, adjust the engine parameters, select
the running modes, and observe the status of the control system. Both MOP
screens are located in the engine control room (ECR), one serving as back-up
unit in case of failure or to be used simultaneously, if preferred.
Both MOP screens consist of a marine approved personal computer with a
touch screen and pointing device as shown in Fig. 5.16.02.
Engine control unit

For redundancy purposes, the control system comprises two engine control
units (ECU) operating in parallel and performing the same tasks, one being a
hot stand-by for the other. If one of the ECUs fail, the other unit will take over
the control without any interruption.
The ECUs perform such tasks as: 16.01 Units, layout and interfaces
▪ Speed governor functions, start/stop sequences, timing of fuel injection,
timing of exhaust valve activation, timing of starting valves, etc.
▪ Continuous running control of auxiliary functions handled by the ACUs
▪ Alternative running modes and programs
2023-09-25 - en
Cylinder control unit

The control system includes one cylinder control unit (CCU) per cylinder. The
CCU controls the electronic control valves for fuel injection and exhaust valve
actuation as well as the starting air valves (SAV) in accordance with the com-
mands received from the ECU.
All the CCUs are identical, and in the event of a failure of the CCU for one cyl-
inder only this cylinder will automatically be cut out of operation.
All engines 1 (10)

Auxiliary control unit

The control of the auxiliary equipment on the engine is normally divided
among four auxiliary control units (ACU) so that, in the event of a failure of one
unit, there is sufficient redundancy to permit continuous operation of the en-
gine.
The ACUs perform the control of the auxiliary blowers, the control of the elec-
trically and engine driven hydraulic oil pumps of the hydraulic power supply
(HPS) unit and the scavenge air control (SCU).
If applied, the ACU also controls cooling water system (LDCL/JWA) and ex-
haust gas bypass (EGB)
Engine interface control unit

The engine interface control unit (EICC) perform such tasks as interface with
the surrounding control systems, see Fig. 16.01.01a and b.
The EICC is located either in the engine control room (recommended) or in the
engine room.
Control network
The main operating panels (MOP-A & MOP-B) are connected to the control
system controllers via a redundant ehternet based control network. Due to
limitations in cobber based ethernet, the maximum cable routing distance
between the engine and the engine room is 100m.
Power supply for engine control system

The engine control system requires two separate power supplies with battery
backup, power supply A and B.
The ME-ECS power supplies must be separated from other DC systems, i.e.
only ME-ECS components must be connected to the supplies.

In normal operating the engine can be controlled from either the bridge or
from the engine control room.
Alternatively, the local operating panel (LOP) can be activated. This redundant
control is to be considered as a substitute for the previous Engine Side Con-
trol console mounted directly onto the MC engine.
The LOP is as standard placed on the engine.
From the LOP, the basic functions are available, such as starting, engine
speed control, stopping, reversing, and the most important engine data are
displayed.
Hydraulic power supply

The purpose of the hydraulic power supply (HPS) unit is to deliver the neces-
sary high pressure hydraulic oil flow to the hydraulic cylinder units (HCU) on
the engine at the required pressure during start-up as well as in normal ser-
vice.
In case of the standard mechanically driven HPS unit, at start, one of the two
electrically driven start-up pumps is activated.
The multiple pump configuration with standby pumps ensures redundancy
with regard to the hydraulic power supply. The control of the engine driven
pumps and electrical pumps are divided between the three ACUs.
The sizes and capacities of the HPS unit depend on the engine type. Further
details about the HPS and the lubricating oil/hydraulic oil system can be found
in chapter 8.

Engine control system interface to surrounding systems

To support the navigator, the vessels are equipped with a ship control sys-
tem, which includes subsystems to supervise and protect the main propulsion
engine.
Alarm system
The alarm system has no direct effect on the ECS. The alarm alerts the oper-
ator of an abnormal condition.
The alarm system is an independent system, in general covering more than
the main engine itself, and its task is to monitor the service condition and to
activate the alarms if a normal service limit is exceeded.
Slow Down System

The Slowdown system receives slowdown requests from either ECS or AMS,
and if the request is not cancelled, a slowdown command will be sent to ECS.
Safety system
The engine safety system is an independent system with its respective
sensors on the main engine, fulfilling the requirements of the respective classi-
fication society and MAN Energy Solutions. If a critical value is reached for one
of the measuring points, the input signal from the safety system must cause
either a cancellable or a non-cancellable shut down signal to the ECS.
For the safety system, combined shut down and slow down panels approved
by MAN Energy Solutions are available. The following options are listed in the
Extent of Delivery:
4 75 631 Lyngsø Marine
4 75 632 Kongsberg Maritime
4 75 633 Nabtesco
4 75 636 Mitsui Zosen Systems Research.
Where separate shut down and slow down panels are installed, only panels 16.01 Units, layout and interfaces
approved by MAN Energy Solutions must be used.
In any case, the remote control system and the safety system (shut down and
slow down panel) must be compatible.
Telegraph system
2023-09-25 - en
This system enables the navigator to transfer the commands of engine speed
and direction of rotation from the Bridge, the engine control room or the local
operating panel (LOP), and it provides signals for speed setting and stop to
the ECS.
The engine control room and the LOP are provided with combined telegraph
and speed setting units.
Remote control system

The remote control system normally has three alternative control stations:
▪ the bridge control
All engines 7 (10)

▪ the engine control room control

▪ local control.
The remote control system is to be delivered by a supplier approved by MAN
Energy Solutions.
Bridge control systems from suppliers approved by MAN Energy Solutions are
available. The Extent of Delivery lists the following options:
▪ for fixed pitch propeller plants, e.g.:
4 95 704 Mitsui Zosen Systems Research
4 95 705 Nabtesco
▪ and for controllable pitch propeller plants, e.g.:
4 95 719 MAN Alphatronic.
Power management system

The system handles the supply of electrical power onboard, i. e. the starting
and stopping of the generating sets as well as the activation / deactivation of
the main engine shaft generator (SG), if fitted.
The normal function involves starting, synchronising, phasing-in, transfer of
electrical load and stopping of the generators based on the electrical load of
the grid on board.
ECS offers a number of interface options for safe connection/dis-connection
of shaft generators
Auxiliary equipment system

The input signals for ‘Auxiliary system ready’ are given partly through the re-
mote control system based on the status for:
▪ fuel oil system
▪ lube oil system
▪ cooling water systems
and partly from the ECS itself:

▪ turning gear disengaged
▪ main starting valve ‘open’
▪ control air valve for sealing air ‘open’
▪ control air valve for air spring ‘open’
2023-09-25 - en
▪ auxiliary blowers running

▪ hydraulic power supply ready.
Monitoring system
The engine control system (ECS) is supported by the engine management
services (EMS), which includes the PMI auto-tuning and the CoCoS-EDS
(Computer Controlled Surveillance-Engine Diagnostics System) applications.
A description of the EMS is found in chapter 18 of this project guide.

Vibration aspects
The vibration characteristics of the two-stroke low speed diesel engines can
for practical purposes be split up into four categories, and if the adequate
countermeasures are considered from the early project stage, the influence of
the excitation sources can be minimised or fully compensated.
In general, the marine diesel engine may influence the hull with the following:
• External unbalanced moments These can be classified as unbalanced 1st
and 2nd order external moments, which need to be considered only for cer-
tain cylinder numbers
• Guide force moments
• Axial vibrations in the shaft system
• Torsional vibrations in the shaft system.
The external unbalanced moments and guide force moments are illustrated in
Fig. 17.01.01.
In the following, a brief description is given of their origin and of the proper
countermeasures needed to render them harmless.
51943745931
External Unbalanced Moments

The inertia forces originating from the unbalanced rotating and reciprocating
masses of the engine create unbalanced external moments although the ex-
ternal forces are zero.
Of these moments, the 1st order (one cycle per revolution) and the 2nd order
(two cycles per revolution) need to be considered for engines with a low num-
ber of cylinders. On 7-cylinder engines, also the 4th order external moment
may have to be examined. The inertia forces on engines with more than 6 cyl-
inders tend, more or less, to neutralise themselves.
Countermeasures have to be taken if hull resonance occurs in the operating
speed range, and if the vibration level leads to higher accelerations and/or ve-
locities than the guidance values given by international standards or recom-
mendations (for instance related to special agreement between shipowner
and shipyard). The natural frequency of the hull depends on the hull’s rigidity
and distribution of masses, whereas the vibration level at resonance depends
mainly on the magnitude of the external moment and the engine’s position in
relation to the vibration nodes of the ship. 17.01 Vibration aspects

First and second order moments

The 2nd order moment acts only in the vertical direction. Precautions need only
to be considered for 6-cylinder engines in general.
Resonance with the 2nd order moment may occur in the event of hull vibra-
tions with more than 3 nodes. Contrary to the calculation of natural frequency
with 2 and 3 nodes, the calculation of the 4 and 5-node natural frequencies
for the hull is a rather comprehensive procedure and often not very accurate,
despite advanced calculation methods.
A 2nd order moment compensator comprises two counter-rotating masses
running at twice the engine speed.

Compensator Solutions
2022-01-25 - en
Several solutions are available to cope with the 2nd order moment, as shown
in Fig. 17.03.02, out of which the most cost efficient one can be chosen in the
individual case, e.g.:
1. No compensators, if considered unnecessary on the basis of natural fre-
quency, nodal point and size of the 2nd order moment.
2. A compensator mounted on the aft end of the engine, driven by chain,

option: 4 31 203.
G80ME-C 1 (2)
3. A compensator mounted on the fore end, driven from the crankshaft

through a separate chain drive, option: 4 31 213.
As standard, the compensators reduce the external 2nd order moment to a
level as for a 7-cylinder engine or less.
Briefly speaking, solution 1) is applicable if the node is located far from the en-
gine, or the engine is positioned more or less between nodes. Solution 2) or 3)
should be considered where one of the engine ends is positioned in a node or
close to it, since a compensator is inefficient in a node or close to it and there-
fore superfluous.
Determine the Need

A decision regarding the vibrational aspects and the possible use of com-
pensators must be taken at the contract stage. If no experience is available
from sister ships, which would be the best basis for deciding whether com-
pensators are necessary or not, it is advisable to make calculations to determ-
ine which of the solutions should be applied.
Preparation for Compensators

If compensator(s) are initially omitted, the engine can be delivered prepared
for compensators to be fitted on engine fore end later on, but the decision to
prepare or not must be taken at the contract stage, option: 4 31 212. Meas-
urements taken during the sea trial, or later in service and with fully loaded
ship, will be able to show if compensator(s) have to be fitted at all.
If no calculations are available at the contract stage, we advise to make pre-
parations for the fitting of a compensator in the steering compartment, see
Section 17.03.
Basic Design Regarding Compensators

For 6-cylinder engines with mechanically driven HPS, the basic design regard-
ing 2nd order moment compensators is:
17.02 First and second order moments
• With compensator aft, EoD: 4 31 203

• Prepared for compensator fore, EoD: 4 31 212
For 6-cylinder engines with electrically driven HPS, the basic design regarding
2nd order moment compensators is:
• With MAN B&W external electrically driven moment compensator, Rot-
Comp, EoD: 4 31 255
• Prepared for compensator fore, EoD: 4 31 212
The available options are listed in the Extent of Delivery.

Electrically Driven Moment Compensator

If it is decided not to use chain driven moment compensators and, further-
more, not to prepare the main engine for compensators to be fitted later, an-
other solution can be used, if annoying 2nd order vibrations should occur: An
external electrically driven moment compensator can neutralise the excitation,
synchronised to the correct phase relative to the external force or moment.
This type of compensator needs an extra seating fitted, preferably, in the
steering gear room where vibratory deflections are largest and the effect of
the compensator will therefore be greatest.
The electrically driven compensator will not give rise to distorting stresses in
the hull, but it is more expensive than the engine-mounted compensators. It
does, however, offer several advantages over the engine mounted solutions:
• When placed in the steering gear room, the compensator is not as sensitive
to the positioning of the node as the compensators 2) and 3) mentioned in
Section 17.02.
17.03 Electrically Driven Moment Compensator

2021-09-20 - en
Fig. 17.03.01: MAN B&W external electrically driven moment compensator,

RotComp, option: 4 31 255
• The decision whether or not to install compensators can be taken at a much

later stage of a project, since no special version of the engine structure has to
be ordered for the installation.
• No preparation for a later installation nor an extra chain drive for the com-
pensator on the fore end of the engine is required. This saves the cost of such
preparation, often left unused.
All Engines 1 (3)

• Compensators could be retrofit, even on ships in service, and also be ap-

plied to engines with a higher number of cylinders than is normally considered
relevant, if found necessary.
• The compensator only needs to be active at speeds critical for the hull
girder vibration. Thus, it may be activated or deactivated at specified speeds
automatically or manually.
• Combinations with and without moment compensators are not required in
torsional and axial vibration calculations, since the electrically driven moment
compensator is not part of the mass-elastic system of the crankshaft.
Furthermore, by using the compensator as a vibration exciter a ship’s vibra-
tion pattern can easily be identified without having the engine running, e.g. on
newbuildings at an advanced stage of construction. If it is verified that a ship
does not need the compensator, it can be removed and reused on another
ship.
It is a condition for the application of the rotating force moment compensator
that no annoying longitudinal hull girder vibration modes are excited. Based
on our present knowledge, and confirmed by actual vibration measurements
onboard a ship, we do not expect such problems.

Power Related Unbalance

To evaluate if there is a risk that 1st and 2nd order external moments will ex-
cite disturbing hull vibrations, the concept Power Related Unbalance (PRU)
can be used as a guidance, see Table 17.04.01 below.
PRU = ( External moment/ Engine power) Nm/kW
With the PRU-value, stating the external moment relative to the engine power,
it is possible to give an estimate of the risk of hull vibrations for a specific en-
gine.
Based on service experience from a great number of large ships with engines
of different types and cylinder numbers, the PRU-values have been classified
in four groups as follows:
PRU Nm/kW Need for compensator

0 - 60 Not relevant
60 - 120 Unlikely
120 - 220 Likely
220 - Most likely

Guide force moments

The so-called guide force moments are caused by the transverse reaction
forces acting on the crossheads due to the connecting rod/crankshaft mech-
anism. These moments may excite engine vibrations, moving the engine top
athwartships and causing a rocking (excited by H-moment) or twisting (ex-
cited by X-moment) movement of the engine as illustrated in Fig. 17.05.01.
The guide force moments corresponding to the MCR rating (L1) are stated in
Table 17.07.01.
Top bracing
The guide force moments are harmless except when resonance vibrations oc-
cur in the engine/ double bottom system.
As this system is very difficult to calculate with the necessary accuracy, MAN
Energy Solutions strongly recommend, as standard, that top bracing is in-
stalled between the engine’s upper platform brackets and the casing side.
The vibration level on the engine when installed in the vessel must comply
with MAN Energy Solutions vibration limits as stated in Fig. 17.05.02.
We recommend using the hydraulic top bracing which allow adjustment to the
loading conditions of the ship. Mechanical top bracings with stiff connections
are available on request.
With both types of top bracing, the above-mentioned natural frequency will in-
crease to a level where resonance will occur above the normal engine speed.
Details of the top bracings are shown in Chapter 05.
Definition of guide force moments

Over the years it has been discussed how to define the guide force moments.
Especially now that complete FEM-models are made to predict hull/ engine
interaction, the proper definition of these moments has become increasingly
important.
17.05 Guide force moments

2022-10-12 - en
95-35ME-C/-GI/-LGI 1 (5)
H-type guide force moment (MH)

Each cylinder unit produces a force couple consisting of:
1. A force at crankshaft level
2. Another force at crosshead guide level. The position of the force changes
over one revolution as the guide shoe reciprocates on the guide.
Fig. 17.05.01: H-type and X-type guide force moments

As the deflection shape for the H-type is equal for each cylinder, the Nth order
H-type guide force moment for an N-cylinder engine with regular firing order
is:
N × MH(one cylinder)
For modelling purposes, the size of the forces in the force couple is:
Force = MH/L [kN]
where L is the distance between crankshaft level and the middle position of
the crosshead guide (i.e. the length of the connecting rod).
As the interaction between engine and hull is at the engine seating and the
top bracing positions, this force couple may alternatively be applied in those
positions with a vertical distance of (LZ). Then the force can be calculated as:
ForceZ = MH/LZ [kN]
2022-10-12 - en
Any other vertical distance may be applied so as to accomodate the actual

hull (FEM) model.
The force couple may be distributed at any number of points in the longitud-
inal direction. A reasonable way of dividing the couple is by the number of top
bracing and then applying the forces at those points.
ForceZ, one point = ForceZ, total/Ntop bracing, total [kN]
2 (5) 95-35ME-C/-GI/-LGI
X-type Guide Force Moment (Mx)

The X-type guide force moment is calculated based on the same force couple
as described above. However, as the deflection shape is twisting the engine,
each cylinder unit does not contribute with an equal amount. The centre units
do not contribute very much whereas the units at each end contributes much.
A so-called ‘Bi-moment’ can be calculated (Fig. 17.05.01):
‘Bi-moment’ = ∑[force-couple(cyl.X) × distX] in kNm2
The X-type guide force moment is then defined as:
MX = ‘Bi-Moment’/L kNm
For modelling purpose, the size of the four (4) forces can be calculated:
Force = MX/LX [kN]
where:
LX is the horizontal length between ‘force points’.
Similar to the situation for the H-type guide force moment, the forces may be
applied in positions suitable for the FEM model of the hull. Thus the forces
may be referred to another vertical level LZ above the crankshaft centre line.
These forces can be calculated as follows:
ForceZ, one point = (Mx X L) / (Lz X Lx) [kN]
In order to calculate the forces, it is necessary to know the lengths of the con-
necting rods = L, which are:

Axial and torsional vibrations

When the crank throw is loaded by the gas pressure through the connecting
rod mechanism, the arms of the crank throw deflect in the axial direction of
the crankshaft, exciting axial vibrations. Through the thrust bearing, the sys-
tem is connected to the ship’s hull.
Generally, only zero-node axial vibrations are of interest. Thus the effect of the
additional bending stresses in the crankshaft and possible vibrations of the
ship`s structure due to the reaction force in the thrust bearing are to be con-
sideraed.
An axial damper is fitted as standard on all engines, minimising the effects of
the axial vibrations, EoD: 4 31 111.
Torsional vibrations
The reciprocating and rotating masses of the engine including the crankshaft,
the thrust shaft, the intermediate shaft(s), the propeller shaft and the propeller
are for calculation purposes considered a system of rotating masses (inertias)
interconnected by torsional springs. The gas pressure of the engine acts
through the connecting rod mechanism with a varying torque on each crank
throw, exciting torsional vibration in the system with different frequencies.
In general, only torsional vibrations with one and two nodes need to be con-
sidered. The main critical order, causing the largest extra stresses in the shaft
line, is normally the vibration with order equal to the number of cylinders, i.e.,
six cycles per revolution on a six cylinder engine. This resonance is positioned
at the engine speed corresponding to the natural torsional frequency divided
by the number of cylinders.
The torsional vibration conditions may, for certain installations require a tor-
sional vibration damper, option: 4 31 105.
Plants with 11 or 12-cylinder engines in the bore range 98-80 require a tor-
sional vibration damper.
Based on our statistics, this need may arise for the following types of installa-
tion:
• Plants with controllable pitch propeller
• Plants with unusual shafting layout and for special owner/yard requirements 17.06 Axial and torsional vibrations
• Plants with 8-cylinder engines.
The so-called QPT (Quick Passage of a barred speed range Technique), is an
alternative to a torsional vibration damper, on a plant equipped with a control-
lable pitch propeller. The QPT could be implemented in the governor in order
to limit the vibratory stresses during the passage of the barred speed range.
2023-02-07 - en
The application of the QPT, option: 4 31 108, has to be decided by the engine
maker and MAN Energy Solutions based on final torsional vibration calcula-
tions.
Six-cylinder engines, require special attention. On account of the heavy excit-
ation, the natural frequency of the system with one-node vibration should be
situated away from the normal operating speed range, to avoid its effect. This
can be achieved by changing the masses and/or the stiffness of the system
so as to give a much higher, or much lower, natural frequency, called under-
critical or overcritical running, respectively.
All Engines 1 (4)

Owing to the very large variety of possible shafting arrangements that may be
used in combination with a specific engine, only detailed torsional vibration
calculations of the specific plant can determine whether or not a torsional vi-
bration damper is necessary.
Undercritical running
The natural frequency of the one-node vibration is so adjusted that resonance
with the main critical order occurs about 35-45% above the engine speed at
specified MCR.
Such undercritical conditions can be realised by choosing a rigid shaft sys-
tem, leading to a relatively high natural frequency.
The characteristics of an undercritical system are normally:
• Relatively short shafting system
• Probably no tuning wheel
• Turning wheel with relatively low inertia
• Large diameters of shafting, enabling the use of shafting material with a
moderate ultimate tensile strength, but requiring careful shaft alignment,(due
to relatively high bending stiffness)
• Without barred speed range.
Critical running
When running undercritical, significant varying torque at MCR conditions of
about 100-150% of the mean torque is to be expected.
This torque (propeller torsional amplitude) induces a significant varying pro-
peller thrust which, under adverse conditions, might excite annoying longitud-
inal vibrations on engine/double bottom and/or deck house.
The yard should be aware of this and ensure that the complete aft body struc-
ture of the ship, including the double bottom in the engine room, is designed
to be able to cope with the described phenomena.
Overcritical running
17.06 Axial and torsional vibrations
The natural frequency of the one node vibration is so adjusted that resonance
with the main critical order occurs at about 30-60% of the engine speed at
specified MCR. Such overcritical conditions can be realised by choosing an
elastic shaft system, leading to a relatively low natural frequency.
The characteristics of overcritical conditions are:
2023-02-07 - en
• Tuning wheel may be necessary on crankshaft fore end

• Turning wheel with relatively high inertia
• Shafts with relatively small diameters, requiring shafting material with a relat-
ively high ultimate tensile strength
• With barred speed range, EoD: 4 07 015, of about ±10% with respect to
the critical engine speed.
Torsional vibrations in overcritical conditions may, in special cases, have to be
eliminated by the use of a torsional vibration damper.
Overcritical layout is normally applied for engines with more than four cylin-
ders.
2 (4) All Engines

Please note:
We do not include any tuning wheel or torsional vibration damper in the
standard scope of supply, as the proper countermeasure has to be found
after torsional vibration calculations for the specific plant, and after the de-
cision has been taken if and where a barred speed range might be accept-
able.
Governor stability evaluation for special plants

On rare occasions, plant layouts are prone to engine speed instability or “en-
gine hunting”. These plant layouts usually fall within one of the three categor-
ies mentioned below. MAN Energy Solutions may require that a governor sta-
bility evaluation is carried out for plants in the risk of encountering engine
speed instability. The purpose of the governor stability evaluation is to identify
the potential risks of engine speed instability and suggest corresponding
countermeasures to the plant design. MAN Energy Solutions offers a governor
stability evaluation against a fee.
1. Torsional vibrations at low frequency

A low torsional vibration frequency of a slender shaft line may interfere with
the engine speed measurement of the engine control system (ECS). The ECS
uses the speed measurement to calculate the fuel index, and therefore it dir-
ectly affects the engine torque. The interference can in worst-case lead to
amplification of the vibrations and hunting phenomena.
If the governor stability analysis reveals a risk of interference, the solution is to
install an extra speed measurement device on the shaft line for the ECS, a so-
called dual tacho.
2. Large electrical power take-off

If the power take-off (PTO) solution includes a variable frequency drive (VFD),
which is the norm today, the PTO control system strategy is to deliver the re-
quired electrical power independent of the actual engine speed. This control
strategy reduces the stability of the engine speed, because a drop in engine
speed results in an increase in shaft generator torque to maintain a constant
electrical power output. If the destabilisation effect is large, the engine control
system is not able to compensate and properly stabilise the engine speed, 17.06 Axial and torsional vibrations
this could result in engine hunting.
The destabilisation effect is largest at low speeds and at a high level of PTO.
If the governor stability analysis shows an inadequate stability margin, the PTO
has to be limited in specific speed ranges, or turning and tuning wheels of
2023-02-07 - en
higher inertia could be installed.

Usually, it is possible to mitigate the instability by applying our extended inter-
face to the power management system (interface option C). See section 2.03
of the project guide for more information about the use of a PTO and PTO lim-
its.

3. Operation without propeller

The propeller adds inertia and damping to the system which both increases
engine speed stability and torque disturbance rejection. If the propeller is de-
tached, for example by a clutch, the reduced system becomes more volatile.
The result is an increased risk of critical speed overshoot and a reduced en-
gine speed stability margin.
Normally, an engine is only allowed to operate in a narrow speed range
without a propeller. The speed range is determined as part of the governor
stability evaluation.
Plant criteria requiring a governor stability evaluation

If a plant fulfils one of the below criteria, MAN Energy Solutions must be con-
tacted for further analysis, in case a plant fulfils one of the below mentioned
criteria. In that case, we will conduct a governor stability evaluation against a
fee. These special plants must be handled on an individual basis, preferably at
an early stage of the design.
▪ PTO output is higher than specified in project guide section 2.03
▪ The engine is operated with PTO at test bed
▪ 1st node torsional vibration frequency in the propeller shaft line is lower
than:
– 3 Hz for FPP plants
– 5 Hz for CPP plants
▪ The design includes a clutch for disconnecting the propeller
▪ The engine is for other reasons operated without a propeller, for example
during PTO tests
▪ The design deviates from known “standard” plant designs.
The governor stability evaluation can lead to changes in the control equip-
ment. This could, for example, be an increase of signals from the plant and re-
quirements to the design of engine-driven mechanical components. The eval-
uation can also result in changes in the use of the PTO.

Engine Management Services
Engine Management Services Overview

The Engine Management Services (EMS) is used on MAN B&W engines from
MAN Energy Solutions for condition monitoring, data logging & data distribu-
tion. EMS is integrated with the ECS (Engine Control System) to allow for con-
tinuous performance tuning.
EMS is executed on the EMS MOP, an industrial type PC designed by MAN
Energy Solutions. EMS is implemented as a hardened platform, robust to
virus threats and other unauthorized use and ac-cess.
The EMS network topology is shown in Fig. 18.02.01.

EMS Applications
EMS includes the applications PMI Auto-tuning, CoCoS-EDS and EMS man-
2021-07-20 - en
ager.
PMI Auto-tuning
▪ Online cylinder pressure monitoring
▪ Input to engine control system for closed-loop performance tuning
▪ Engine power estimation.
PMI Auto-tuning continuously measures the cylinder pressures using online
sensors mounted on each cylinder cover. Pressure measurements are
presented continuously in real time and the corresponding key performance
values are transferred to the Engine Control System.
The Engine Control System constantly monitors and compares the measured
combustion pressures to a reference value. As such, the control system auto-
matically adjusts the fuel injection and valve timing to reduce the deviation
between the measured values and the reference. This, in turn, facilitates the
optimal combustion pressures for the next firing. Thus, the system ensures
that the engine is running at the desired maximum pressure, p(max).
CoCoS-EDS
▪ Data logging
▪ Engine condition monitoring and reporting
▪ Engine operation troubleshooting.
With CoCoS-EDS, early intervention as well as preventive maintenance, the
engine operators are able to reduce the risk of damages and failures.
CoCoS-EDS further allows for easier troubleshooting in cases where unusual
engine behavior is observed.
EMS Manager
▪ Installation and supervision of EMS applications
▪ Network and interface monitoring
▪ Optional interface for data exchange with AMS (Alarm Monitoring System).
The EMS manager provides a process for integrated installation, commission-
ing and maintenance of PMI Auto-tuning and CoCoS-EDS.
Further, the EMS Manager includes status information and functionality, e.g.
for network status, internal and external interfaces and EMS application exe-
cution.

Slow down and shut down

The shut down system must be electrically separated from other systems by
using independent sensors, or sensors common to the alarm system and the
monitoring system but with galvanically separated electrical circuits, i.e. one
sensor with two sets of electrically independent terminals. The list of sensors
are shown in Table 18.04.04.
Basic Safety System Design and Supply

The basic safety sensors for a MAN B&W engine are designed for Unattended
Machinery Space (UMS) and comprises:
▪ the temperature sensors and pressure sensors that are specified in the
‘MAN Energy Solutions’ column for shut down in Table 18.04.04.
These sensors are included in the basic Extent of Delivery, EoD: 4 75 124.
Alarm and Slow Down System Design and Supply

The basic alarm and slow down sensors for a MAN B&W engine are designed
for Unattended Machinery Space (UMS) and comprises:
▪ The sensors for alarm and slow down.
These sensors are included in the basic Extent of Delivery, EoD: 4 75 127.
The shut down and slow down panels can be ordered as options: 4 75 630, 4
75 614 or 4 75 615 whereas the alarm panel is yard’s supply, as it normally
includes several other alarms than those for the main engine.
For practical reasons, the sensors for the engine itself are normally delivered
from the engine supplier, so they can be wired to terminal boxes on the en-
gine.
The number and position of the terminal boxes depends on the degree of dis-
mantling specified in the Dispatch Pattern for the transportation of the engine
based on the lifting capacities available at the engine maker and at the yard.
Alarm, Slow Down And Remote Indication Sensors

The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) indicates that a
18.04 Slow down and shut down
common sensor can be used for alarm, slow down and remote indication.
A general view of the alarm, slow down and shut down systems is shown in
Fig. 18.04.01.
Tables 18.04.02 and 18.04.03 show the requirements by MAN Energy Solu-
2024-01-24 - en
tions for alarm and slow down and for UMS by the classification societies
(Class), as well as IACS’ recommendations.
The number of sensors to be applied to a specific plant is the sum of require-
ments of the classification society, the Buyer and MAN Energy Solutions.
If further analogue sensors are required, they can be ordered as option: 4 75
128.
All engines 1 (11)

Slow Down Functions

The slow down functions are designed to safeguard the engine components
against overloading during normal service conditions and to keep the ship
manoeuvrable if fault conditions occur.
The slow down sequence must be adapted to the actual plant parameters,
such as for FPP or CPP, engine with or without shaft generator, and to the re-
quired operating mode.
Electrical System, General Outline

The figure shows the concept approved by all classification societies.
The shut down panel and slow down panel can be combined for some
makers.
The classification societies permit having common sensors for slow down,
alarm and remote indication.
One common power supply might be used, instead of the three indicated,
provided that the systems are equipped with separate fuses.

Engine protection systems and alarms
Drain Box for Fuel Oil Leakage Alarm

Any leakage from the fuel oil high pressure pipes of any cylinder is drained to
a common drain box fitted with a level alarm. This is included in the basic
design of MAN B&W engines.
Bearing Condition Monitoring

Based on our experience, we decided in 1990 that all plants must include an
oil mist detector specilfied by MAN Energy SolutionsSince then an Oil Mist
Detector (OMD) and optionally some extent of Bearing Temperature Monitor-
ing (BTM) equipment have made up the warning arrangements for prevention
of crankcase explosions on two-stroke engines. Both warning systems are
approved by the classification societies.
In order to achieve a response to damage faster than possible with Oil Mist
Detection and Bearing Temperature Monitoring alone we introduce Bearing
Wear Monitoring (BWM) systems. By monitoring the actual bearing wear con-
tinuously, mechanical damage to the crank-train bearings (main-, crank- and
crosshead bearings) can be predicted in time to react and avoid damaging
the journal and bearing housing.
If the oil supply to a main bearing fails, the bearing temperature will rise and in
such a case a Bear-ing Temperature Monitoring system will trigger an alarm
before wear actually takes place. For that reason the ultimate protection
against severe bearing damage and the optimum way of providing early warn-
ing, is a combined bearing wear and temperature monitoring system.
For all types of error situations detected by the different bearing condition
monitoring systems applies that in addition to damaging the components, in
18.06 Engine protection systems and alarms

extreme cases, a risk of a crankcase explosion exists.
Oil Mist Detector

The oil mist detector system constantly measures samples of the atmosphere
in the crankcase compartments and registers the results on an optical meas-
uring track, where the opacity (degree of haziness) is compared with the opa-
city of the atmospheric air. If an increased difference is recorded, a slow down
is activated (a shut down in case of Germanischer Lloyd).
Furthermore, for shop trials only MAN Energy Solutions requires that the oil
mist detector is connected to the shut down system.
2023-01-16 - en
For personnel safety, the oil mist detectors and related equipment are located
on the manoeuvring side of the engine.
The following oil mist detectors are available:

Bearing Wear Monitoring System

The Bearing Wear Monitoring (BWM) system monitors all three principal
crank-train bearings using two proximity sensors forward/aft per cylinder unit
and placed inside the frame box.
2 (10) All engines

Targeting the guide shoe bottom ends continuously, the sensors measure the
distance to the crosshead in Bottom Dead Center (BDC).
Signals are computed and digitally presented to computer hardware, from
which a useable and easily interpretable interface is presented to the user.
The measuring precision is more than adequate to obtain an alarm well before
steel-to-steel contact in the bearings occur.
Also the long-term stability of the measurements has shown to be excellent.
In fact, BWM is expected to provide long-term wear data at better precision

and reliability than the manual vertical clearance measurements normally per-
formed by the crew during regular service checks.
For the above reasons, we consider unscheduled open-up inspections of the

crank-train bearings to be superfluous, given BWM has been installed.
Two BWM ‘high wear’ alarm levels including deviation alarm apply. The first
level of the high wear / deviation alarm is indicated in the alarm panel only
while the second level also activates a slow down.
he Extent of Delivery lists the following Bearing Wear Monitoring options:
4 75 261 XTS–W (BWM), make: AMOT

4 75 266 BWCMS, make: KOMECO

4 75 267 BCM-1, make: Mitsui Zosen Systems Research Inc.
ME, ME-C/-GI/-LGI engines are as standard specified with Bearing Wear

Monitoring for which any of the above mentioned options could be chosen.
Bearing Temperature Monitoring System

The Bearing Temperature Monitoring (BTM) system continuously monitors the
temperature of the bearing. Some systems measure the temperature on the
backside of the bearing shell directly, other systems detect it by sampling a
2023-01-16 - en
small part of the return oil from each bearing in the crankcase.
In case a specified temperature is recorded, either a bearing shell/housing

temperature or bearing oil outlet temperature alarm is triggered.
In main bearings, the shell/housing temperature or the oil outlet temperature is

monitored depending on how the temperature sensor of the BTM system, op-
tion: 4 75 133, is installed.
All engines 3 (10)

In crankpin and crosshead bearings, the shell/ housing temperature or the oil
outlet temperature is monitored depending on which BTM system is installed,
options: 4 75 134 or 4 75 135.
For shell/housing temperature in main, crankpin and crosshead bearings two

high temperature alarm levels apply. The first level alarm is indicated in the
alarm panel while the second level activates a slow down.
For oil outlet temperature in main, crankpin and crosshead bearings two high
temperature alarm levels including deviation alarm apply. The first level of the
high temperature / deviation alarm is indicated in the alarm panel while the
second level activates a slow down.
In the Extent of Delivery, there are three options:
4 75 133 Temperature sensors fitted to main bearings
4 75 134 Temperature sensors fitted to main bearings, crankpin bearings,

crosshead bearings and for moment compensator, if any
4 75 135 Temperature sensors fitted to main bearings, crankpin bearings

and crosshead bearings
Water In Oil Monitoring System

All MAN B&W engines are as standard specified with Water In Oil monitoring
system in order to detect and avoid free water in the lubricating oil.
In case the lubricating oil becomes contaminated with an amount of water ex-
ceeding our limit of 50% of the saturation point (corresponding to approx.
0.2% water content), acute corrosive wear of the crosshead bearing overlayer
may occur. The higher the water content, the faster the wear rate.
To prevent water from accumulating in the lube oil and, thereby, causing
damage to the bearings, the oil should be monitored manually or automatic-
ally by means of a Water In Oil (WIO) monitoring system connected to the en-
gine alarm and monitoring system. In case of water contamination the source
should be found and the equipment inspected and repaired accordingly.
The saturation point of the water content in the lubricating oil varies depend-
ing on the age of the lubricating oil, the degree of contamination and the tem-
2023-01-16 - en
perature. For this reason, we have chosen to specify the water activity meas-
uring principle and the aw-type sensor. Among the available methods of
measuring the water content in the lubricating oil, only the aw-type sensor
measures the relationship between the water content and the saturation point
regardless of the properties of the lubricating oil.
WIO systems with aw-type sensor measure water activity expressed in ‘aw’
on a scale from 0 to 1. Here, ‘0’ indicates oil totally free of water and ‘1’ oil
fully saturated by water.
Alarm levels are specified as follows:
4 (10) All engines

Engine condition Water activity, aw

High alarm level 0.5
High High alarm level 0.9
The aw = 0.5 alarm level gives sufficient margin to the satuartion point in order
to avoid free water in the lubricating oil. If the aw = 0.9 alarm level is reached
within a short time after the aw = 0.5 alarm, this may be an indication of a wa-
ter leak into the lubricating oil system.
Please note: Corrosion of the overlayer is a potential problem only for

crosshead bearings, because only crosshead bearings are designed with an
overlayer. Main, thrust and crankpin bearings may also suffer irreparable dam-
age from water contamination, but the damage mechanism would be different
and not as acute.
Liner Wall Monitoring System

The Liner Wall Monitoring (LWM) system monitors the temperature of each
cylinder liner. It is to be regarded as a tool providing the engine room crew the
possibility to react with appropriate countermeasures in case the cylinder oil
film is indicating early signs of breakdown.
In doing so, the LWM system can assist the crew in the recognition phase
and help avoid consequential scuffing of the cylinder liner and piston rings.
Signs of oil film breakdown in a cylinder liner will appear by way of increased
and fluctuating temperatures. Therefore, recording a preset max allowable ab-
solute temperature for the individual cylinder or a max allowed deviation from
a calculated average of all sensors will trigger a cylinder liner temperature

alarm.
The LWM system includes two sensors placed in the manoeuvring and ex-
haust side of the liners, near the piston skirt TDC position. The sensors are in-
terfaced to the ship alarm system which monitors the liner temperatures.
For each individual engine, the max and deviation alarm levels are optimised
by monitoring the temperature level of each sensor during normal service op-
eration and setting the levels accordingly.
The temperature data is logged on a PC for one week at least and preferably
2023-01-16 - en
for the duration of a round trip for reference of temperature development.
All types 98 and 90 ME and ME-C engines as well as K80ME-C9 are as

standard specified with Liner Wall Monitoring system. For all other engines,
the LWM system is available as an option: 4 75 136.
All engines 5 (10)

Axial Vibration Monitor

For functional check of the vibration damper a mechanical guide is fitted,
while an electronic vibration monitor can be supplied as an option.
An Axial Vibration Monitor (AVM) with indication for condition check of the
axial vibration damper and terminals for alarm and slow down ia available as
an option: 4 31 117. It is required for the following engines:
• All ME-C9/10 engines incl. their -GI and -LGI variants

• All ME-C7/8 engines with 5 and 6 cylinders incl. their -GI and -LGI variants
• K-ME-C6/7 and K98ME6/7 engines with 11 and 14 cylinders incl. their -GI
and -LGI variants.
The requirement for AVM on 4-cylinder engines is available on request.
The alarm and slow down system should include the filtration necessary to
prevent the AVM from unintentionally activating the alarm and slow down
functions at torsional vibration resonances, i.e. in the barred speed range, and
when running Astern.
In the low speed range and when running Astern, the alarm and slow down
functions are to be disabled so that the AVM only gives an indication of the vi-
bration level.
The AVM alarm and slow down functions shall be enabled when the engine is
running Ahead and at speeds above the barred range.
To prevent rapid hunting of the engine speed in a slow down situation, a hold-
ing time function has been introduced in order to delay the automatic re-set-
ting of the slow down function.
The specification of the AVM interface to the alarm and slow down system is
available from MAN Energy Solutions Copenhagen.
(LDCL) Cooling Water System

With the Load Dependent Cylinder Liner (LDCL) cooling water system, the
cooling water outlet temperature from the cylinder liner is controlled relative to
2023-01-16 - en
the engine load, independent of the cooling water outlet from the cylinder
cover.
The interval for the liner outlet may be wide, for instance from 70 to 130 de-
gree Celsius. The cooling water outlet temperature is measured by one sensor
for each cylinder liner of the engine.
For monitoring the LDCL cooling water system the following alarm and slow
down functionality must be fulfilled:
6 (10) All engines

The Alarm system must be able, from one common analog sensor, to detect
two alarm limits and two slow down limits as follows:
• Upper slow down limit

• Upper alarm limit
• Load dependent slow down limit
• Load dependent alarm limit.
An example of the limits is shown in Fig. 18.06.02.

Fig. 18.06.02: Example of set points versus slow down and alarm limits for
LDCL cooling water system
The load dependent limits must include at least one break point to allow cut-
in/-out of the lower limits. The upper limits are fixed limits without breakpoints.
The values of the load dependent limits are defined as a temperature differ-
2023-01-16 - en
ence (DT) to actual cooling water temperature (which vary relative to the en-
gine load).
The cooling water temperature is plant dependent and consequently, the ac-
tual values of both upper limits and load dependent limits are defined during
commissioning of the engine.
All 95-50ME-C10/9/-GI dot 2 and higher as well as G50ME-B9.5/.3 and

S50ME-B9.5 are as standard specified with LDCL Cooling Water Monitoring
System while S50ME-B9.3 and G45ME-C9.5/-GI are prepared for the installa-
tion of it.
All engines 7 (10)

Motor Start Method

Direct Online Start (DOL) is required for all the electric motors for the pumps
for the Load Dependent Cylinder Liner (LDCL) to ensure proper operation un-
der all conditions
Turbocharger Overspeed Protection

All engine plants fitted with turbocharger cut-out, exhaust gas bypass (EGB),
power turbine / turbo generator (PT), hybrid turbocharger or variable tur -
bocharger (VT) run the risk of experiencing turbo - charger overspeed.
To protect the turbocharger, such plants must be equipped with a turbochar-
ger overspeed alarm and slow-down function.
However, the handshake interface between the ship’s power management

system and a waste heat recovery system (WHRS) or a shaft generator (SG)
may delay the slowdown for up to 120 seconds.
Therefore, the slow-down function must be upgraded to a non-cancellable
shutdown for engine plants with handshake interface.
On engine plants designed with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a sudden in-
crease of energy to the turbocharger(s) will occur if the EGR system trips.
As protection, turbocharger overspeed alarm and non-cancellable slowdown
must be fitted.
Consequently, the turbocharger speed must be monitored by the ship alarm

system and the safety system(s), triggering slowdown or non-cancellable
shutdown if the turbocharger speed exceeds the defined alarm levels.
The protection applicable for individual engine plant and power management
configurations is summarised in Table 18.06.03.

Dispatch pattern, testing, spares and tools
Painting of Main Engine

The painting specification, Section 19.02, indicates the minimum require-
ments regarding the quality and the dry film thickness of the coats of, as well
as the standard colours applied on MAN B&W engines built in accordance
with the ‘Copenhagen’ standard.
Paints according to builder’s standard may be used provided they at least ful-
fil the requirements stated.
Dispatch Pattern
The dispatch patterns are divided into two classes, see Section 19.03:
A: Short distance transportation and short term storage
B: Overseas or long distance transportation or long term storage.
Short distance transportation (A) is limited by a duration of a few days from

delivery ex works until installation, or a distance of approximately 1,000 km
and short term storage.
The duration from engine delivery until installation must not exceed 8 weeks.
Dismantling of the engine is limited as much as possible.
Overseas or long distance transportation or long term storage require a class

B dispatch pattern.
19.01 Dispatch pattern, testing, spares and tools

The duration from engine delivery until installation is assumed to be between 8
weeks and maximum 6 months.
Dismantling is effected to a certain degree with the aim of reducing the trans-
portation volume of the individual units to a suitable extent.
Note: Long term preservation and seaworthy packing are always to be used
for class B.
Furthermore, the dispatch patterns are divided into several degrees of dis-
mantling in which ‘1’ comprises the complete or almost complete engine.
Other degrees of dismantling can be agreed upon in each case.
When determining the degree of dismantling, consideration should be given to
the lifting capacities and number of crane hooks available at the engine maker
and, in particular, at the yard (purchaser).
The approximate masses of the sections appear in Section 19.04. The
2022-05-02 - en
masses can vary up to 10% depending on the design and options chosen.
Lifting tools and lifting instructions are required for all levels of dispatch pat-
tern. The lifting tools, options: 4 12 110 or 4 12 111, are to be specified when
ordering and it should be agreed whether the tools are to be returned to the
engine maker, option: 4 12 120, or not, option: 4 12 121.
MAN Energy Solutions' recommendations for preservation of disassembled /
assembled engines are available on request.
Furthermore, it must be considered whether a drying machine, option: 4 12
601, is to be installed during the transportation and/or storage period.

Shop Trials/Delivery Test

Before leaving the engine maker’s works, the engine is to be carefully tested
on diesel oil in the presence of representatives of the yard, the shipowner and
the classification society.
The shop trial test is to be carried out in accordance with the requirements of
the relevant classification society, however a minimum as stated in Section
19.05.
MAN Energy Solutions' recommendations for shop trial, quay trial and sea trial
are available on request.
In connection with the shop trial test, it is required to perform a precertification
survey on engine plants with FPP or CPP, options: 4 06 201 Engine test cycle
E3 or 4 06 202 Engine test cycle E2 respectively.
Spare Parts
List of spare parts, unrestricted service

The tendency today is for the classification societies to change their rules
such that required spare parts are changed into recommended spare parts.
MAN Energy Solutions, however, has decided to keep a set of spare parts in-
cluded in the basic extent of delivery, EoD: 4 87 601, covering the require-
ments and recommendations of the major classification societies, see Section
19.06.
This amount is to be considered as minimum safety stock for emergency situ-
ations.
Additional Spare Parts Recommended by MAN Energy Solutions

The aboveœmentioned set of spare parts can be extended with the ‘Addi-
tional Spare Parts Recommended by MAN Energy Solutions', option: 4 87
603, which facilitates maintenance because, in that case, all the components
such as gaskets, sealings, etc. required for an overhaul will be readily avail-
able, see Section 19.07.
Wearing Parts
The consumable spare parts for a certain period are not included in the above
mentioned sets, but can be ordered for the first 1, 2, up to 10 years’ service
of a new engine, option: 4 87 629.
2022-05-02 - en
The wearing parts that, based on our service experience, are estimated to be
required, are listed with service hours in Tables 19.08.01 and 19.08.02.
Large Spare Parts, Dimensions and Masses

The approximate dimensions and masses of the larger spare parts are indic-
ated in Section 19.09. A complete list will be delivered by the engine maker.

Vibration aspects
Torsional vibration
The installation aspects in a shop test and on a vessel are different. As a res-
ult, the torsional vibration characteristics are also different, and special coun-
termeasures may apply during the shop test.
To reduce the stress amplitudes in the shafting system at the main critical res-
onance, a tuning wheel is commonly applied on 5-7 cylinder engines. In a
shop test, the shaft between the engine and water brake is typically short and
stiff compared to the shafting system connecting the propeller to the engine
on a vessel. Due to the different installation aspects, a torsional vibration cal-
culation of the shop test conditions is always made to ensure acceptable vi-
brations. It is common that the tuning wheel is omitted at the shop test to
avoid excessive crankshaft stresses.
Regarding SFOC, the power absorbed in the tuning wheel and main bearing
is very small. Based on elasto-hydrodynamic simulations of the foremost main
bearing, the power loss with a large tuning wheel is 0.033% of engine power
and 0.032% without a tuning wheel. Therefore, this power loss can be ig-
nored in terms of the SFOC measurement conducted in a shop test.
In some cases, a torsional vibration damper has to be applied on the water
brake side to achieve acceptable vibration conditions.
Structural vibration
In most cases, the vibration level and behaviour of the main engine is quite dif-
ferent when comparing test bed trials with sea trials. The main reason for this
is the strong influence and dynamic interaction with the surroundings, the
most important being:
1. The engine seating stiffness (foundation) is lower for the test bed com-
pared to a vessel’s double bottom. This will shift vibration resonances to
lower engine speeds, which results in significantly different vibration levels
and resonance speeds.
2. If top bracings are installed (vessel installation), this additional stiffness will
not be present at the shop test (due to lack of stiffness/strength of the
surrounding building). Some licensees may mount an electrically driven
moment compensator (EMC) temporarily to reduce vibration levels during
shop tests.
The global vibration behaviour of an engine erected on a test bed cannot, and
should not, be compared to the vibration levels of a vessel-installed engine.
Local vibrations of turbochargers and exhaust gas receivers are also strongly
2022-09-01 - en
influenced by the dynamic interaction with the surroundings, be it a “soft test

bed” or a “stiff ship hull”.

MAN Energy Solutions 198 46 12-7-9
EIAPP certificate
Most marine engines installed on ocean going vessels are required to have an
‘Engine International Air Pollution Prevention’ (EIAPP) Certificate, or similar.
Therefore, a pre-certification survey is to be carried out for all engines accord-
ing to the survey method described in the engine’s NOx Technical File, which
is prepared by the engine manufacturer. For MAN B&W engines, the Unified
Technical File (UTF) format is recommended.
The EIAPP certificate documents that the specific engine meets the interna-
tional NOx emission limitations specified in Regulation 13 of MARPOL Annex
VI. The basic engine ‘Economy running mode’, EoD: 4 06 200, complies with
these limitations.
The pre-certification survey for a ‘Parent’ or an ‘Individual’ engine includes
NOx measurements during the delivery test. For ‘Member’ engines, a survey
according to the group definition for the engine group is needed. This survey
should be based on the delivery test.
The applicable test cycles are:
▪ E3, marine engine, propeller law for FPP, option: 4 06 201
or
▪ E2, marine engine, constant speed for CPP, option: 4 06 202

Optional inspection tools to assist condition-based overhaul (CBO)

The objective of the Condition-Based Overhaul (CBO) strategy is to obtain the
highest number possible of safe running hours. Overhauling should only be
carried out when necessary and the most important factor in a CBO strategy
is the evaluation of the actual condition of the engine. This is done by regular
scavenge port inspections and logging of wear and hot corrosion.
MAN Energy Solutions recommends the following optional measuring tools to
assist with the CBO strategy.
Digital insertable cylinder liner measuring tool

The insertable tool facilitates liner condition monitoring. The cylinder liner trend
wear profile can be revealed and predicted by taking measurements regularly
during scavenge port inspections at engine stand-stills. The measurements
are done without removing the cylinder cover or exhaust valve housing, which
is very time saving and allows for more frequent measurements than using the
standard version of the tool. The output is digital, see Fig. 19.12.02.

Liner condition camera

The liner condition camera is used for in situ photography of the cylinder liner
walls and piston ring packs in 2-stroke engines.
The photos can be used for evaluating cylinder condition parameters such as
cleanliness of ring land, size of cylinder wear edge, cylinder honing mark and
wave-cut groove extension, black lacquering from corrosive wear and bore
polish. See Fig. 19.12.03.

Digital crankshaft deflection measuring tool

Crank web deflection measurements are used to assess the alignment of the
crank throws and the main bearings. The digital crankshaft deflection tool has
a higher accuracy, easier reading and is able to store data compared to the
standard tool with mechanical dial gauge, see Fig. 19.12.04.

Optional handling, grinding or refreshing tool

The following tools are recommended for best practice overhaul.
4 (20) All engines

Wear ridge milling machine

The machine is used to remove the wear ridge created in the top of the cylin-
der liner. This edge must be removed before the pulling of piston, to prevent
damage of the piston and/or lifting of the cylinder liner. The risk of damage to
piston rings when pulling piston without removing the wear ridge is especially
high for CPR rings. The wear ridge milling machine minimizes the risk of liner
damage due to un-controlled grinding. The wear ridge milling machine can
also be used to create a groove in the top of the liner to prevent the buildup of
a new wear ridge.
The wear ridge milling machine is available in two different versions: A stand-
ard milling machine and a customized milling machine for which a Hot Works
Permit is not necessary. see Fig. 19.12.05.

Honing machine
Honing is the best method to remove liner ovality, which cause premature ring
breakage. Honing will also remove liner surface hardening and re-establish a
normal wear rate of a hardened liner.
The honing machine can be used on its own or combined with the wave-cut
machine, see Fig. 19.12.06.

Wave-cut machine
The purpose of the wave-cut machine is to reestablish the wave-cut pattern
of the cylinder liner wall, which retains oil and facilitates the running-in of new
piston rings. Wave-cutting does not compensate for liner ovality. The wave-
cut machine can be used on its own or combined with honing, see Fig.
19.12.07.

Optional tools for special design
Tools for reduced lifting height

The optional tool package for reduced lifting height includes a collar ring
which makes it possible to tilt the piston, hence reducing the required lifting
height of the engine room.
Engines with bore size less than 70 can be ordered with reduced lifting height
in the engine room. Engines with bore size from 70 can receive reduced lifting
height upon special request.
Tilted lift is not allowed for the cylinder liner, but by using the MAN B&W
double jib engine room crane the necessary lifting height is greatly reduced
compared to the single crane standard solution. Lifting screws for the double
jib crane is included in the tool package for reduced lifting height, see Fig.
19.12.13 and 19.12.14.

Tools for oil testing

Clean lubricating oil is the basis for trouble free operation of a MAN B&W en-
gine. MAN Energy Solutions recommend testing oil samples of the cylinder
lubricating oil for metal particles and determining the level of corrosive ele-
ments in order to take appropriate steps to avoid excessive cylinder liner
wear.
Contaminants in the lubricating oil may also damage the hydraulic compon-
ents in the ME system. For testing the lubricating oil, the following equipment
is available.
▪ Ferrous wear test equipment for detecting metal particles from samples of
cylinder lubricating oil
▪ Additional consumables pack for ferrous wear test equipment containing
500 test tubes and sampling pipettes.

Project support and documentation
General
The selection of the ideal propulsion plant for a specific newbuilding is a com-
prehensive task. However, as this selection is a key factor for the profitability
of the ship, it is of the utmost importance for the end-user that the right
choice is made.
MAN Energy Solutions is able to provide a wide variety of support for the ship-
ping and shipbuilding industries all over the world.
The knowledge accumulated over many decades by MAN Energy Solutions
covering such fields as the selection of the best propulsion machinery, optim-
ization of the engine installation, choice and suitability of a Power Take Off for
a specific project, vibration aspects, environmental control etc., is available to
shipowners, shipbuilders and ship designers alike.
Part of this information can be found in the following documentation:
• Marine Engine Programme
• Turbocharger Selection
• Installation Drawings
• CEAS - Engine Room Dimensioning
• Project Guides

Extent of delivery
General
MAN Energy Solutions' ‘Extent of Delivery’ (EoD) is provided to facilitate nego-
tiations between the yard, the engine maker, consultants and the customer in
specifying the scope of supply for a specific project involving MAN B&W two-
stroke engines.
We provide two different EoDs:
EoD 95-40 ME-C/-GI/-LGI Tier ll Engines
EoD 50-30 ME-B/-GI/-LGI Tier ll Engines
These publications are available in print and at: www.marine.man-es.com -->
Two-Stroke --> Extemt of Delivery (EoD).
Basic Items and Options

The ‘Extent of Delivery’ (EoD) is the basis for specifying the scope of supply
for a specific order.
The list consists of ‘Basic’ and ‘Optional’ items.
The ‘Basic’ items define the simplest engine, designed for unattended ma-
chinery space (UMS), without taking into consideration any further require-
ments from the classification society, the yard, the owner or any specific regu-
lations.
The ‘Options’ are extra items that can be alternatives to the ‘Basic’ , or addi-
tional items available to fulfil the requirements/functions for a specific project.
Copenhagen Standard Extent of Delivery

At MAN Energy Solutions Copenhagen, we base our first quotations on a
‘mostly required’ scope of supply. This is the so-called ‘Copenhagen Stand-
ard Extent of Delivery’, which is made up by options marked with an asterisk *
in the far left column in the EoD.
The Copenhagen Standard Extent of Delivery includes:
• Minimum of alarm sensors recommended by the classification societies and
• Moment compensator for certain numbers of cylinders
• MAN turbochargers
• The basic engine control system
20.03 Extent of delivery
• Engine Management Services (EMS) incl. PMI software and LAN-based in-

Installation documentation
General
When a final contract is signed, a complete set of documentation, in the fol-
lowing called ‘Installation Documentation’, will be supplied to the buyer by the
engine maker.
The extent of Installation Documentation is decided by the engine maker and
may vary from order to order.
As an example, for an engine delivered according to MAN Energy Solutions
‘Copenhagen Standard Extent of Delivery’, the Installation Documentation is
divided into the volumes ‘A’ and ‘B’:
• 4 09 602 Volume ‘A’
Mainly comprises general guiding system drawings for the engine room
• 4 09 603 Volume ‘B’
Mainly comprises specific drawings for the main engine itself.
Most of the documentation in volume ‘A’ are similar to those contained in the
respective Project Guides, but the Installation Documentation will only cover
the order-relevant designs.
The engine layout drawings in volume ‘B’ will, in each case, be customised
according to the buyer’s requirements and the engine maker’s production fa-
cilities.
A typical extent of a set of volume ‘A’ and B’ drawings is listed in the follow-
ing.
For questions concerning the actual extent of Installation Documentation,
please contact the engine maker.
