Preface
What does this book contain?
This instruction manual provides general
guidance regarding operation and maintenance of the engine. It is also to be used as
reference when ordering spare parts.
The manual is divided into a number of
chapters that correspond to the main components/units in the engine. The number of
each chapter is determined by our PSPsystem (product specification system) and is the
foundation stone of our EDPsystem.
20000601
Each chapter consists of four main elements:

y
Descriptions (explanatory text concerning design features, functionality

and operation)
Work cards (specifications on how to

perform different maintenance jobs)
Data sheets (oil list, tightening torques

etc.)
Spare part plates (spare part illustrations and additional lists)
Release Preface
Reliable and safe operation of the engine is

dependent on correct operation and maintenance. It is therefore important that the
en-gine personnel is fully acquainted with
the contents of this book.
The equipment is delivered including a warranty clause which has been contractually
agreed upon.
It is, of course, a precondition for the validity of such a warranty that the equipment is
op-erated in accordance with agreed requirements and recommendations.
Spare parts must be original spare parts
purchased directly from MAN B&W Diesel,
Alpha Diesel or from one of MAN B&W Diesels authorized workshops or agents.

How do I order spare parts?
Spare part plates consist of a drawing of the
spare part and an accompanying list of the
items shown on the drawing.
The drawing may not be completely identical to your plant and may also show some
items that are not included in your plant. The
additional list of items, however, is always in
accordance with your specific plant.
Note that some items on the spare part
drawings may only be delivered as part of a
kit or as a complete, assembled component.
This, however, is generally stated on the
drawing.

General safety precautions
Cleanliness
The engine room should be kept clean above
and below the floor plates. If grit or sand may
blow into the engine room when the ship is in
port, the ventilation should be stopped and
ventilating ducts, skylights, and doors in the
engine room should be closed.
In particular, welding or work which causes
spreading of grit and chips must be avoided
near the engine unless this is closed or covered, and the turbocharger air intake filters
are covered.
The exterior of the engine should be kept
clean and the paintwork maintained so that
leakages can be easily detected.
Fire
If the crankcase is opened before the engine
is cold, welding and the use of naked light
will involve a risk of explosions and fire. The
same applies to inspection of oil tanks and
the space below the floor. Attention is furthermore drawn to the danger of fire when
using paint and solvents with a low flash
point. Porous insulating material drenched
with oil from leakages is highly inflammable
and should be renewed. See also: Ignition
in crankcase.
Other
Hand tools should be placed easily accessible on tool boards. Special tools should be
fastened to tool panels (if supplied) in the
page 00-4
engine room close to the area of application.

No major objects must be left unfastened,
and the floor and passages should be kept
clear.
Spares
Large spare parts should as far as possible
be placed well strapped near the area of
application and accessible by crane. The
spare parts should be well preserved against
corrosion and protected against mechanical
damage. The stock should be checked at
intervals and replenished in time.
Light
Ample working light should be permanently
installed at appropriate places in the engine
room, and portable low voltage working light,
in explosion-proof fittings, should be obtainable everywhere.
Freezing
If there is a risk of damage due to freezing
when the plant is out of service, engines,
pumps, coolers, and pipe systems should
be emptied of cooling water.
Warning
The opening of cocks may cause discharge
of hot liquids or gasses. The dismantling of
parts may cause springs to be released. The
removal of fuel valves (or other valves in the
cylinder head) may cause oil to run down
to the piston crown; if the piston is hot, an
explosion may then blow out the valve. When
testing fuel valves with the hand pump, do
not touch the spray holes, as the jet may
pierce the skin. Think out beforehand which
way the liquids, gases or flames will move,
and keep clear.

2000-11-01
Proper maintenance, which is the aim of this

book, constitutes the crucial point in obtaining optimum safety in the engine room. The
general measures mentioned here should be
a natural routine to the entire engine room
staff.
L27/38
MAN B&W Diesel
Entering the crankcase or cylinder
Slow turning
Check beforehand that the starting air supply

to the engine is shut off, and that the turning
gear is engaged. Make sure that the propeller is disengaged or that the propeller shaft
is mechanically locked.
After prolonged out-of-service periods or

overhaul work which may involve a risk of
accumulation of liquid in the combustion
spaces, Slow turning should always be
effected, through at least two complete
revolutions.
Turning gear
2000-11-01
Before engaging the turning gear, check that

the starting air supply is shut off, that the
indicator valves are open, and subsequently
that the Turning gear in indication is on.
Hydraulic tools
Safety goggles and gloves must be worn
when using hydraulic tools. If skin is damaged
by oil jets seek treatment immediately.
Feeling-over
Grinding tools
When repairs or alterations have been made

to the running gear, apply the Feel-over sequence until satisfied that there is no undue
heating, oil mist formation, blow-by, or failure
of cooling water or lubricating oil systems.
Safety goggles and gloves must be worn

when using grinding tools. Prevent grinding
particles from entering the engine. Afterwards clean all parts carefully.
Check and maintain

Feel-over sequence
Feel-over after 5, 15 and 30 minutes idle running and finally when the engine is running at
full load. See also Starting-up sequence .

should take place gradually over 15 to 20
minutes.
When the engine is running, the following
should be checked:
1. The lubricating oil pressure must be
within the stated limits and may not fall
below the stated minimum pressure.
2. The lubricating oil temperature must be
kept within the stated limits indicated
on the data and set points sheet, see
page 00-16.
3. The fuel oil pressure must be kept at
the stated value.
4. The cylinder cooling water temperature
must be kept within the limits indicated
on the data and set points sheet.
See also shop test report and sea trial

7. Recharge the starting air receivers to
30 bar. The air starter operates with a
pressure of 7-8 bar.
8. To ensure full operational reliability,
the condition of the engine should be
continuously observed so that order to
preventive maintenance work can be
carried out before serious break downs
occur.
Stopping
Before stopping, it is recommended to
run the engine at idle speed for 10-15
minutes.
1. The engine is stopped by turning the
button on the operator panel.
2. Check that the lub oil stand-by pump
is started automatically and runs for 5
minutes.
Starting and stopping on HFO

Starting and stopping of the engine should
take place on HFO in orderto prevent any
incompatibility problems on changeover to
MDO.
MDO should only be used in connection with
maintenance work on the engine or before a
longer period of engine standstill.
Before starting on HFO the engine must be
properly preheated as described in Preparations for starting and as described below.
Stopping the engine on HFO is no problem,
but it should be ensured that preheated fuel
is continuously circulated by means of the
booster pump.
page 02-23
L27/38
Checks during out-of-service periods

The responsible chief engineer should always
be well-informed regarding the operational
condition of the engine; the results of the
inspections must therefore be recorded.
The work can be adapted to the sailing
schedule of the ship so that it is carried out
at suitable intervals, eg as suggested in the
Maintenance Programme, see chapter 00.
The intervals stated are normal for well-maintained machinery. If a period of operational
irregularities occurs or the operational condition is unknown due to repairs or changes,
the relevant inspections should be repeated
more frequently until normal operation has
been restored.
The checks are listed in the following order:
18 to be carried out before overhaul
914 during the overhaul
1518 after the overhaul
1. Recordings
Make a complete set of recordings of
the engine performance data at MCR
load.
2. Check lub oil flow
Start the stand-by lub oil pump, remove
the crankcase covers and check that
the oil flows freely from all bearings.
Also take off the valve covers on the
cylinder heads and make sure that oil
is supplied for lubrication of the rocker
arms.
Warning
In case of longer runs (more than 5 minutes)
with the stand-by lub oil pump, the lub oil
connection to the turbocharger should be
blocked. Do not forget to restore this connection prior to operation.
page 02-24
3. Oil sump, crank pin bearings and

main bearings
Check the bottom of the oil sump for
fragments of bearing metal and similar,
which could indicate incipient damage.
4. Automatic lub oil filter
Check that the automatic filter is operating under oil pressure. (Rotating of the
filter shaft can be observed at the end
cover of the filter.)
5. Inspection of cylinder liner
Check the cylinder liner running surface
from the crankcase or by borescope
through the hole for the fuel valve.
6. Crankshaft
Carry out deflection measuring of the
crankshaft. See Settings and limit values 2047749-0.
7. Oil samples
A lub oil sample is to be sent to a laboratory for immediate analysis.
8. Turbocharger
If the recordings show that the charging
air conditions have changed radically,
cleaning or other action should be effected. See separate instruction manual
for turbocharger.
9. Nuts and bolts
Tighten all nuts and bolts in the crankcase, see Tightening specification
2049581-0. Also retighten foundation
bolts and check the chocks.
10. Camshaft gear train

unit. The filter candles are inspected
for possible damages.
Replace if necessary.
2000-06-01
14. Lub oil cooler

If the performance records indicate
increased lub oil temperature or pressure drop, the oil cooler should be
dismantled and cleaned.
15. Lub oil cleaning
Opening up the engine or the lub oil
system may have caused ingress of
impurities and a thorough cleaning
should be carried out before starting
the engine.
By means of the stand-by pump and the
purifier the lub oil should be circulated
until the impurities are removed.
Release 1 02B1-01
L27/38
After cleaning and starting up, keep a

close watch on the pressure drop.
16. Turning
After normal lub oil circulation has
been restored, turn the engine at least
2 revolutions by means of the turning
device to control the movability of the
engines parts.
17. Speed control system
Lubricate bearings and rod connections. Disconnect the governor and
move the rod connections by hand to
check that friction in the bearings and
fuel injection pumps is sufficiently low.
Checks which should be made just before starting the engine are mentioned
under Operation, see page 3.
18. Cooling water system
Add cooling water, keep the system
under pressure and check for leakages
at cylinder liner and cylinder head sealings and at the cooling water joints.
Do not forget to add cooling water treatment additives.

Starting-up after repair

General
It is assumed that the plant has been out

of service for some time, for instance due
to overhaul, and that the check during outof-service periods (see page 6) has been
carried out as described.
Starting-up after such an out-of-service
period is normally carried out as a test run
(quay trial). Priorto the trial run it must be
ascertained that:
1. The port authorities allow quay trials
2. The moorings are adequate
3. The wheel house is manned during
quay trials
Whether a quay trial is carried out or not, in
addition to normal supervising and recording, the following checks must be made in
the order stated.
To be checked immediately after starting
1. Check that the turbocharger is running.
2. Check that the lubricating oil pressure
is in order and that the automatic lub
oil filter is operating.
3. Check that all cylinders are firing (see
exhaust temperatures).
4. Check that everything is normal for
engine speed, fuel oil, cooling water
and system oil.
Note
The overspeed setting should be according
to Operating data and set points.
To be checked during starting-up, but only
if required after repairs or alterations
1. If the condition of the machinery is not
well-known, especially after repairs or
alterations, the feel-over sequence
should always be followed, ie:
After 5,15 and 30 minutes idle running,
open the crankcase and the camshaft
housing and perform feel-over on the
surfaces of all moving parts where friction may arise and cause undue heating.
Feel: main bearings, con-rod bearings,
camshaft bearings and cylinder liners.
After the last feel-over, check lub oil
flow from bearings, see also Ignition
in crankcase .
2. After repair or renewal of cylinder liners, piston rings or bearings, allowance
must be made for a running-in period,
ie the engine load should be increased
gradually as indicated in the table below. The engine output is determined
on the basis of the fuel pump index
and engine speed. The turbocharger
speed and charge air pressure give
some indication of the engine output.
Check by simulation of the overspeed

shutdown device that the engine
stops.

Engine performance and condition

Performance data and engine condition
Evaluation of performance data
During operation, small changes in the engine condition take place continuously as
a result of combustion, including fouling of
airways and gasways, formation of deposits,
wear, corrosion, etc. If continuously recorded,
these changes in the condition can give valuable information about the operation and
maintenance condition of the engine. Continuous observation can contribute to forming
a precise and valuable basis for evaluation
of the optimum operation and maintenance
programmes for the individual plant.
Air cooler
Engine performance data
Reduction of the charge air pressure results

in a reduction of the compression pressure
and max combustion pressure. When checking the max pressure adjustment of the
engine, it is therefore to be ensured that the
existing charge air pressure is correct.
We recommend weekly records of the performance data of the engine plant. During
recording (Inspection sheet 2020734-6 is
used) the observations are to be compared
continuously in orderto ascertain alterations
at an early stage and before these exert any
appreciable influence on the operation of
the plant.
As a reference condition for the performance
data, the shop test report for the engine or
possibly the measurements taken during the
sea trial from the delivery of the ship can be
used. If considerable deviations from the
normal conditions are observed, it will be
possible, in a majority of cases, to diagnose
the cause of such deviations by means of a
total evaluation and a set of measurements,
after which possible adjustment/overhauls
can be decided on and planned.
An increase in charge air temperature

involves a corresponding increase in the
exhaust gas temperature level by a ratio of
about 1:1.5, ie 1C higher charge air temperature gives about 1.5C higher exhaust
gas temperature.
Fuel injection and load setting

The amount of fuel injected is equivalent to
the supplied energy and is thus an expression of the load and mean effective pressure of the engine. The fuel pump index can
therefore be assumed to be proportional to
the mean pressure.
The specific fuel consumption, SFOC, (measured by weight) will, on the whole, remain
unchanged whether the engine is operating
on HFO or on MDO, when considering the
difference in calorimetric heat value. However, when operating on HFO, the combination
of density and calorific value may result in a
change of up to 6% in the volumetric consumption at a given load.
As the engine is tested with MDO, changing
to HFO will normally result in higher loading
at the same fuel pump index.
page 02-28
Release 1 02D1-01
2000-06-01
If abnormal or incomprehensible deviations in

operation are recorded, expert assistance in
the evaluation thereof should be obtained.
Fouling of the air side of the air cooler will

manifest itself as an increasing pressure
drop, lower charge air pressure and an increased exhaust/charge air temperature level
(with consequential influence on the overhaul
intervals for the exhaust valves).
L27/38
MAN B&W Diesel
To avoid overloading of the engine the charge

air pressure and turbine speed recorded at
the shop test should not be exceeded.
At the PCS panel in the engine control room
it is possible to reduce the load by adjusting
the setting for maximum MCR load limit.
Abrasive particles in the fuel oil result in
wear of fuel injection pumps and fuel valve
nozzles. Effective treatment of the fuel oil in
the purifier can keep the content of abrasive
particles to a minimum. Worn fuel injection
pumps will result in loss of power.
2000-06-01
When evaluating performance data a distinction is to be made between changes which

affect the whole engine (all cylinder units)
and changes which occur in only one or a
few cylinders.
Deviations occuring for one or a few cylinders
are, as a rule, caused by malfunctioning of
individual components, for example a faulty
fuel valve, a burned exhaust valve, etc.
Turbocharger
Service experience has shown that the
turbine side is exposed to increased fouling
when operating on HFO.
Deposits occur especially on the guide vanes
of the nozzle ring and on the rotor blades.
In the long run, fouling will reduce the efficiency of the turbocharger and thereby also
the quantity of air supplied for the combustion of the engine. A reduced quantity of air
will result in higher wall temperatures in the
combustion spaces of the engine.
Detailed information and instructions regarding water washing of the turbocharger are
given in chapter 18 as well as in the turbocharger manual.
Release 1 02D1-01
Fuel valves
Assuming that the fuel oil is purified and
filtered effectively and that the engine is
well-maintained, the operational conditions
for the fuel valves and the overhaul intervals
will not normally be altered essentially when
operating on HFO.
Abrasive particles in the fuel oil involve
heavier wear of the fuel valve needle, seat,
and fuel nozzle holes. Therefore, abrasive
particles are to the greatest possible extent
to be removed at the purification.
Exhaust valves
The overhaul interval for exhaust valves is
one of the key parameters when the reliability
of the entire engine is to be judged. The performance of the exhaust valves is therefore
extremely informative.
The exhaust valve temperature depends on
the actual maintenance condition and the
load of the engine. With correct maintenance,
the valve temperature is kept at a satisfactory, low level at all loads. The air supply to
the engine (turbocharger/air cooler) is a key
parameter in this connection.
It is important for the functioning of the valves
that the valve seats are overhauled correctly
in accordance with our instructions.
The use of rotocaps ensures a uniform distribution of temperature of the valves.
Inlet valves
The operational conditions of the air inlet
valves are not altered substantially when
using residual fuel. The rotation of the valves
will reduce valve seat wear.
page 02-29
L27/38
Engine room ventilation, exhaust

system
gine room will involve an increased exhaust

temperature level.
Good ventilation of the engine room and

suitable location of the fresh air intake on
the deck is important. Sea water in the intake
air may cause a corrosive attack and influence the overhaul intervals for the exhaust
valves.
The exhaust back pressure measured after

the turbochargers at full load must not exceed
250300 mm water column. An increase in
the exhaust back pressure will also cause an
increased exhaust valve temperature level
and increased fuel consumption.
The fresh air supply (ventilation) to the engine

room should be minimum 1.5 times the air
consumption of the engines and possible
boilers in operation. Sub-pressure in the enFig 02.3

General
Example
Air always holds a certain amount of water.

When the air is saturated with aqueous vapour, the humidity is said to be 100% and
there is as much water in the air as it can
absorb without condensing.

The amount of water in kg/kg air can be found

from the diagram. The ability to absorb water
depends on the pressure and temperature
of the air.

2000-06-01
Both higher pressure and lower temperature

reduce the ability to absorb water. A turbocharged diesel engine takes air from the
outside, compresses and cools it.
Then the air can normally not absorb the
same amount of water as before.
Condensation of water in the engines charge
air receiver is consequently dependent on
the humidity and the temperature of the
ambient air. To find out if condensation in the
charge air receiver will occur, the diagram
can be used.
As a guidance, an air consumption of 7.25

kg/kWh (Le) at full load can be used for
L27/38.
Solution according to diagram fig 4:
Water content of air (I)
0.033 kg/

Max water content of air (II) 0.021 kg/kg
Amount of condensate in charge air receiver:

kg/h
Draining of condensate
The phenomenon will occur on all turbocharged engines.
There is no risk with a small amount of water,
but to avoid overfilling of the air receiver, it
must be drained off.
The drain valve at the bottom of the air cooler
housing shall therefore be kept open.

Ignition in crankcase
During running the atmosphere in the crankcase contains the same gases (N2-O2-CO2)
in the same proportions as in the ambient
air, but an intense spray of oil drops is slung
around everywhere. If undue friction arises
between sliding surfaces, the heated surface
will cause evaporation of the lubricating oil
splashed onto it. When the oil vapours condense, they form a milky white oil mist which
can ignite. Such ignition may be caused by
the same hot spot that produced the oil
mist. If a large quantity of oil mist has developed before ignition, the burning may cause
considerable pressure rise in the crankcase,
forcing the relief valves to open.
Every precaution should therefore be taken
to avoid hot spots and discover oil mist in
time.
Hot spots in crankcase

Overheating of bearings is a result of inadequate or failing lubricating, possibly caused
by pollution of the lubricating oil.
It is therefore important that the lubricating
oil filtration equipment is in perfect condition.
Checking of the oil condition by analysis is
recommended.
Oil mist in crankcase

The presence of oil mist may be noted at the
vent pipe which is fitted at the aft end of the
crankcase or by an oil mist detector.
Measures (in case of white oil mist).
Warning
Keep away from doors and relief valves on
crankcase. Do not stay unnecessarily in
doorways near the doors of the engine room
casing.
page 06-44
1. Stop the engine

2. Leave the engine room. Shut doors and
keep away from them. Make ready firefighting equipment.
Warning
Do not open crankcase until 10 minutes after
stopping the engine. When opening up, keep
clear of possible flames. Do not use naked
light and do not smoke.
3. Cut off starting air. Take off all doors
on one side of the crankcase. Set the
switch on the operator panel in position
LOCAL.
4. Locate the hot spot. Powerful lamps
should be employed at once (in explosion-proof fittings). Feel over all sliding
surfaces.
5. Look for squeezed-out bearing metal
and discoloration by heat (blistered
paint, burnt oil, heated steel).
6. Prevent further heating, preferably by
making a permanent repair. Special
attention should be paid to ensure
lubricating oil supply and the satisfactory condition of the frictional surfaces
involved. It is important to replace or
clean the filter candles.
7. Start electrically driven lubricating oil
pump and check oil flow from all bearings and spray pipes in crankcase while
turning the engine through at least two
revolutions.
8. Start engine. Look out for oil mist.
Especially the frictional surfaces that caused
the heating should be felt over (5,15 and 30
minutes after starting, and again when full
load is obtained).

Faults in cooling water system

The built-on fresh water pumps in the high

from the crankshaft.
The pump bearings are lubricated automatically with oil from the lubricating oil system
of the engine.

Note
Running trouble with the pumps, apart
from mechanical faults, is most often due
to leaks in the suction line. It is therefore
essential that all packings and gaskets are

Sleeve spring vibration damper

In a drive system with a reciprocating diesel
engine, attention has always to be paid to
the influence of the torsional vibrations on
the system.
On the L27/38 engine, a so-called sleeve
spring damper is installed on the forward
end of the engine (in the front-end box). The
damper consists of an inner and an outer part
with side plates. In between, sleeve springs
are fitted, see fig 12.2.
The inner part is connected to the free end
of the crankshaft and follows the torsional
vibration amplitudes of the free end. The
outer part is over the springs, flexibly connected and can therefore follow the torsional
vibration.
The sleeve spring packets positioned between the inner and the outer part are compressed due to the twisting of the damper.
Each spring chamber is supplied with
pressurized lub oil from the crankshaft. The
hydraulic damping is generated due to the
displacement of the oil as well as due to the
friction in the springs. The heat generated by
the damping is removed with the oil flowing
through the damper.
Maintenance
After some years in operation, the spring
packets must be removed for inspection. See
Maintenance programme major/overhaul
inspection, chapter 00.

Camshaft and camshaft drive

The engine has two camshafts. One for actuation of valves and one for fuel injection.
Using two camshafts gives the opportunity
to change the fuel injection independently of
the valve timing.
The camshaft for valve actuation is located in
the exhaust side of the engine at a high level
in relation to the engine frame to make the
push rods as short as possible and thereby
reduce the moving masses.
The camshaft for fuel injection is located in
the manoeuvre side of the engine.
Both camshafts are made of sections. Cam

sections and journal sections are bolted
together. This design makes it possible to
change a cam section through the inspection
openings in the engine frame.
The camshafts are located in replaceable
bearing bushes, frozen into bores in the
engine frame.
The gearwheel drive for the camshafts is
located in the flywheel end of the engine.
Lubrication of the gears is supplied from two
spray nozzles.

The shaft is installed in a press fit and secured with a lock screw. A ball shaped thrust
piece is mounted in a press fit at the same
end. In the opposite end of the link a bushing
has been frozen in. The lever is installed on
a shaft in a console above the camshaft.
In the lower part of the fuel pump housing

a roller guide has been integrated which
means that the fuel pump and roller guide
are one unit.
Lubricating oil from the camshaft bearing is
transferred through a pipe to the roller guide
in the lower part of the pump.
Lubrication takes place through internal

bores.

All camshaft sections in one side of the engine are identical, which means that a camshaft section can be installed in any position
regardless of the cylinder number. All journal
sections have locating pins to ensure the
right timing of the cam sections. This means
that the journal sections must remain in their
place as originally installed.

A camshaft bearing can be replaced after

the camshaft section next to the bearing in
question and towards the engine front and
the journal section has been removed. This
means that all cam sections from the bearing to be replaced and towards the engine
front must be moved about 12 mm towards
the engine front.
Prior to this, the rocker arms and push rods
on the cylinder heads related to the cams to
be moved must be dismantled. To remove the
rocker arms, the crankshaft must be turned
until the cam followers for the rocker arms
in question are resting on the circular part
of the cams. The screw A, see fig 14.5, is
removed and the rocker arm shaft is pushed
to the side to release the rocker arms. The
push rods can now be removed.

Valve rotator
The cylinder head with integrated charge air

receiver is made of nodular cast iron. It has
4 valves and is of the cross flow design, to
ensure a high flow efficiency. The fuel injection valve is placed in a liner in the centre.
Intensive water cooling of the nozzle tip
area makes it possible to omit direct nozzle
cooling.
The cylinder head is tightened by means of
4 nuts and 4 studs. The studs are screwed
into the engine frame. The tightening is done
by means of hydraulic jacks.

The valve spindles are of heat-resistant
material and the spindle seat has welded-on

All valve spindles are fitted with valve rotators which turn the spindles each time the
valves are activated. The turn of the spindles
ensures even temperature levels on the valve
discs and prevents deposits on the seating
surfaces.
Valve seat

The cylinder head has replaceable valve

seat rings. The exhaust valve seat rings are
water cooled in order to ensure low valve
temperatures.
The seat rings are made of heat-resistant
steel. The seating surfaces are hardened
in order to minimize wear and prevent dent
marks.

Piston, see fig 16.2

The piston is of two-part design. The piston
crown is made of forged steel and the skirt
is made of nodular cast iron.
The piston has 3 piston rings and 1 oil
scraper ring.
All piston ring grooves are hardened and
placed in the piston crown.
Plate 1 1614-01
The piston has a cooling oil space at the top,

to ensure efficient cooling of the top land and
piston ring area. Oil from the lubricating oil
system of the engine is used as cooling oil.
The piston pin is floating and kept in position
by two circlips.
Connecting rod of marine head design,
see fig 16.3
The connecting rod and the big-end bearing
housing are made of CrMo steel.
Fig 16.3
To make it possible to pull a piston without

pulling the cylinder liner, the connecting rod
can be separated from the big-end bearing.
The big-end bearing housing is assembled
by means of two hydraulically tightened
studs.
The big end bearing shells are thin-walled
steel shells.

The cylinder liner is made of cast iron.

Only the upper part of the liner is watercooled which gives a uniform temperature

the top of the liner holds the cooling water
which means there is no cooling water in the

Measuring of cylinder diameter

At any overhaul of the cylinder unit it is very
important to know the condition of the cylinder liner.
The inside diameter of the cylinder liner is
measured in 3 levels, see fig 16.42.
The measurements are taken in both transverse and in longitudinal direction.
Max acceptable diameter is 270.4 mm after
honing.
Max acceptable ovalness after honing is
0.05 mm.

Honing of cylinder liner

Before honing the cylinder liner must be
cleaned and deposits in the top must be
removed.
The honing must be done with a honing machine and not a honing brush.
Honing procedure (plateau honing)
The honing angle is 60 5
The honing marks must be of equal depth in
both directions and equidistant.
The surface must be free of smeared material
and free of polished areas.

Procedure
Description
Under normal working conditions the indicator valves require very little maintenance.
However, to minimize toxic gases in the
engine room and to keep the engine and
engine room clean, it is necessary to keep
the indicator valves tight.
Also, when taking combustion pressures/
diagrams, it is important that the mechanical
connection between the indicator valve and
Release 16 117-01
the indicator is tight so that the parts are

not overheated and damaged. It is therefore
important that the valve connecting surface
is in good condition.
Warning
In connection with check of indicator valves,
be aware of hot surfaces and possible discharge of hot gasses.

Turbocharging, charge air cooler

The turbocharging system is based on the
constant pressure principle, using the radialflow type MAN B&W NR/S turbo-chargers,
lubricated from the engine lub oil system.
A by-pass connection is arranged from the
turbocharger air outlet to the gas inlet side
in order to increase the charge air pressure
at part load and thus minimising exhaust
smoke.
The two-stage design provides the possibility

of utilizing a high percentage of the engine
heat loss for other purposes such as freshwater generation and heating.
Fig 18.1
By-pass
For certain operating conditions requiring

high engine torque at reduced engine speed,
a waste gate arrangement will be incorporated in the exhaust system.

Procedure
The air cooler is normally cleaned if observations prove that the cooler efficiency has
dropped.
To clean the cooler on the air and the water
side, it must be dismantled from the engine.
Dismounting
Before the cooler can be dismantled, the
instrument panels must be removed.
1. Unscrew and remove the multiple plug
in the bottom of the instrument panels.
2. Remove the plate with the instrument
panels from the air cooler.
3. Remove all allen screws from the end
cover of the cooler, except for the 8
screws shown in fig 18.3.

5. Hook on a chain block to the lifting tool,

but keep the chain slack.
6. Press out the cooler insert about 30
millimetres with the dismantling
screws.
7. Lift the cooler with the chain block, pull it
out and land it on a wooden support.
8. Remove the end covers and the side
plates, see fig 18.6.
9. Clean the pipes inside and be sure all
deposits have been removed. Use a
suitable cleaning agent to clean the
lamellas.
Fig. 18.4
Note
The greatest care must be taken when
handling the cooler insert. Make sure not
to bend any of the lamellas on the tubes.
If by accident some of the lamellas have
been bent they must be straightened again,
otherwise the air flow through the cooler will
be reduced and change the performance of
the engine.
Assembling after cleaning
1. Reinstall the side plates and the end
covers with new gaskets and a new
O-ring, see fig 18.6.
2. Pressure test the cooler to see if any
of the tubes are leaking. If some pipes
are leaking where the tubes are expanded into the tube plates, they can
possibly be repaired by re-expanding
the tubes. Otherwise, the tubes must
be plugged.
3. Fit new O-rings on the cooling water
connecting tubes, fig 18.5 and add
some acid free grease to the O-rings.
4. Install the connecting tubes in the bores
inside the aft-end box, see fig 18.5.
5. Put some liquid sealing compound on
the surface against which the insert is
going to be tightened.
Crankshaft
6. Lift the cooler insert with the lifting tool

and carefully push it into the cooler
housing and press it in as far as possible.
PG-L27/38 Fig 4.25
7. Because of the O-rings on the connecting tubes and the O-ring on the cooler,
the cooler does not go all the way in,
therefore it must be pressed into final
position by 4 long screws.
8. Install and tighten all screws with a
torque of 140 Nm.

Fuel oil system

General
Depending on fuel oil quality the engine can be equipped with different types of equipment.
MDO
HFO
For operation on MDO (Marine Diesel Oil),

the standard engine is equipped with builton:
For operation on HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil), the

standard engine is equipped with built-on:
Fuel oil primary pump
Fuel oil back pressure valve
Double filter with paper inserts
Lubrication of fuel oil pumps
Lubrication of fuel oil pumps
Uncooled fuel injection valves
Fuel oil pumps with leak oil seal

Uncooled fuel injection valves
2000-11-22
Fuel oil duplex slit filter
The MDO built-on equipment is designed for

single engine installation. For multi engine installations, it is recommended to have either
separate fuel supplies or the built-on pumps
have to be replaced by electrical pumps.
The built-on equipment is designed for use

on fuel oil modules, normally referred to as
booster modules. For multi engine installations, a common fuel oil feed system should
cover all engines.
HFO quality
We recommend to use heavy fuel up to 380
cSt/50C, even though the engine is designed
for operation on HFO up to 700 cSt/50C, depending on the actual fuel quality.
For fuel oil quality, see Quality Requirements
D365600E/D365692E.
The maximum injection viscosity is 1214
cSt.

To protect the purifier pump (2), a prefilter is

inserted before the pump.
The service tank (4) should be drained daily

for water and sludge.
The pump can be driven directly by the purifier or by an independent motor.
A duplex suction filter (6) with magnetic inserts is installed in the suction line of the fuel
oil primary pump to protect the pump. The
filter should be cleaned regularly.
For engines operating on MDO, we recommend cleaning of the oil by a purifier to

remove water. For the blended fuel oil (M3
in accordance to BS MA100 fuel oil specification) which can be expected in some bunker
places, the purifier is also an important cleaning device. An automatic self-cleaning type
is recommended.
2000-11-22
Pre-heating is normally not necessary, but

a purifying temperature of approx 40C will
improve separation. Some Marine Diesel Oils
have a high content of paraffin which cloggs
up filters and can cause the engine to stop.
To avoid this preheating can be necessary.

The settling tank (1) should be designed to
provide the most efficient sludge and water
separation.
The capacity of each settling tank should
be sufficient to ensure minimum 24 hours
operation.
The temperature of the oil settling tanks
should be as high as possible to help the dirt
to settle. The temperature should be below
75C in order to avoid the formation of asphaltenes, and min 7C above the pour point
of the oil to ensure pumpability.
To protect the separator pumps, (3/3A)
pre-filters (2/2A) are inserted before the
pumps.
The pumps can be driven directly by the purifier or by an independent motor.
The preheaters (4/4A) must be able to raise
the temperature of the oil from approx 60C
to approx 98C, which is the temperature of
the oil for purifying.
Cleaning of the fuel oil by a purifier and a
clarifier which remove water and solids. For
applications with separators acting as a clarifier and purifier at the same time, one separator should be stand-by. Only the automatic
self-cleaning type should be used.
Guidance given by the manufacturer of the
separators must be observed.
The service tank (7) should be dimensioned
to contain purified HFO for operating for at
least 12 hours.
The tank must be insulated and the oil
temperature in the tank should be kept at
minimum 60C. Depending on separating
temperature and tank insulation, the temperature may rise to above 90C.
Attention must be paid that the fuel oil suction
pipe is connected to the side of the tank in a
position to avoid sludge and water contamination of the HFO system.

The pressure regulating valve (14) is to be

adjusted to a pressure of approx 4 bar and
the relief valve setting for supply pumps
(9/9A) is adjusted to a higher pressure.
An automatic filter (10) is installed between
the supply pumps and the mixing tank (12).
As the flow is limited to the consumption of
the engine, a filter with 10 m mesh size
should be used in order to achieve optimal
filtration. In case of malfunction of the filter,
a manually cleaned by-pass filter has to be
installed in parallel to the automatic filter.
For engines with pressurised HFO system
a fuel consumption meter (11) may be fitted
between the automatic filter (10) and the
mixing tank (12). A spring loaded valve is
installed in parallel. In case of problem with
the measuring device, the valve will open and
ensure fuel supply to the engine.
The main purpose of the mixing tank (12) is
to ensure good ventilation of gas from the
hot fuel oil.
gradual temperature balance by mixing the

hot oil returned from the engine with the oil
from the service tank.
Because the capacity of the fuel oil booster
pumps (16/16A) is higher than the consumption of the engine, the surplus oil from the
engine is returned to the mixing tank.
To protect the fuel oil booster pumps, a duplex
prefilter (15) is installed between the mixing
tank and the booster pumps (16/ 16A).
The filter must be cleaned regularly.
In order to heat the HFO to the proper viscosity before the injection valves (10-14 cSt), the
oil is led through a preheater.
The temperature of the HFO is regulated
by an automatic viscosity control unit to 85150C (depending on the viscosity).
The viscosity control equipment (18) is required for all types of fuel to ensure the optimum viscosity of approx 10-14 cSt at the inlet
to the fuel injection pump. The viscosi-meter
should not be affected by pressure peaks
produced by the injection pumps.
The viscosity control equipment must be able
to switch over to thermostatic control in case
of malfunctioning.
Furthermore, the mixing tank ensures a
page 20-154

The HFO system must be pressurised to

avoid gas separation in the fuel oil piping.
Pressurising is maintained by the pumps

tank and the automatic filter. The prefilters
(8/8A) must be cleaned regularly.

A delivery valve is installed on top of the
barrel. In the delivery valve housing a second valve is installed. This valve will open
for oscillating high pressure waves between
the needle in the fuel injection valve and
the delivery valve on the pump, causing the
needle in the fuel valve to stay closed after
the injection is finished. This will reduce formation of carbon around the nozzle tip and
save fuel.

The oil temperature is controlled by thermostatic elements (4) integrated in the front-end
box. The thermostatic elements are manufactured to control a certain temperature and
the set point cannot be changed, but manual
override is possible, if required by the classification society.
An adjustable pressure control valve (6)
keeps the oil under pressure.
The oil flow through the turbocharger is
controlled by an orifice at the inlet of the
turbo-charger.
The oil pressure is controlled by means of

a hydraulically loaded piston. Oil from the
pump passes an orifice in the centre of the
piston and pressurizes the chamber behind
the piston. This pressure forces the piston
towards its own seat and in this way controls
the oil pressure. To be able to adjust the oil
pressure, a spring loaded pilot valve is connected to the mentioned chamber and the
pressure side after the back-flushing filter.
By adjusting the spring load, the oil pressure
can be adjusted.

Lubricating oil filter back-flushing filter

The back-flushing filter is integrated in the
front-end box. It has filter candles with a filter
mesh of 25 micron, a safety filter with a filter
mesh of 50 micron and safety valves.
A lub oil pressure driven turbine in the inlet
of the filter operates a worm gear which
continuously rotates the back-flushing arm.
The rotation can be seen in the centre of
the end cover. Rotation indicates that the
filter works.
After the oil has passed the filter candles, it
passes the safety filter before it enters the
bearings.
Impurities caught by the filter candles will go
to the sump together with the back-flushing
oil.
20051117
A purifier must be connected to the sump to

remove impurities from the oil.
If the filter candles become blocked and the

pressure drop over the filter exceeds 2 bar,
the safety valves will open and the oil will
bypass the filter candles and only be filtered
by the safety filter.
Maintenance
Under normal conditions, the filter does not
need any maintenance as long as the pressure drop over the filter is less than 1.0 bar
and the shaft is rotating.
However, it is required to replace all filter
candles after 18,000 20,000 hours of operation (or after maximum 4 years) since this
is expected to be the safe life time for the
filter candles.

The engine is designed for freshwater cooling only. Therefore the cooling water system
has to be arranged as a centralised/closed
cooling water system.
2002-06-06
Fig 30.1
The engine design is almost pipeless, ie the

water flows through internal cavities inside
the front-end box and the cylinder units. The
front-end box contains all large pipe connections. On the aft-end, the water to the gear oil
cooler has to be connected by the yard.

The engine is equipped with built-on freshwater pumps for both the high and low temperature cooling water systems. To facilitate
automatic start-up of stand-by pumps, nonreturn valves are included.
Fig 30.2
The freshwater pumps are mounted in the

front-end box and are driven through gearwheels from the crankshaft.
The pump bearings are lubricated automatically with oil from the lubricating oil system
of the engine.
Charging air cooler
The engine is equipped with a two stage

charge air cooler. The first stage is placed in
the high temperature cooling water system.
The high charging air temperature after the
turbocharger makes a higher degree of heat
recovery possible when the heat is dissipated
to the high temperature cooling water.
The second stage of the charge air cooler is
placed in the low temperature system.
It will cool the charging air further down before entering the cylinder.
For special applications, ie sailing in arctic
waters with low air temperatures and direct
air intake from deck, a regulating system
can be applied to control the water flow to
the second stage of the charge air cooler in
order to increase the charging air temperature, at low load.

Procedure
The cooling water system is normally divided into two separated closed circuits.
A low temperature circuit (LT) and a high
temperature circuit (HT) based on freshwater treated with anti-corrosion agents, see
fig 30.3.
Each circuit has 4 thermostatic elements. The
elements are supplied with or without manual
override, depending on the requirements of
the classification societies. The elements
are not adjustable. The elements for HT and
LT have different temperature ranges and
therefore not interchangeable. If they fail to
work, they must be replaced.

Local monitoring, control and safety LMCS

General
The engine is using a fully electronic and redundant local instrumentation concept on the
engine, thus providing extensive monitoring
and a good overview for the operator.
exact value of all parameters. All sensors

are continuously monitored to be within the
specified measuring range. The operator will
be made aware, should a sensor exceed its
validity limits.
The Operator Panel Engine (OP-E) is

placed next to the governor. This is done to
give the operator the best possible condition
for controlling and monitoring the complete
engine from only one position.
The measurement and display of the essential parameters are duplicated. The
duplicated measurements can be identified
on the drawing, where they are marked with
an S.
The lay-out of the Local Monitoring, Control

and Safety systems (LMCS) is shown on
fig 11.
The hardware of the two Alphacomm units

marked ACS and ACM-E is identical. The
units are acting as self-contained computer
units with their sensors and outputs directly
connected. The power supply is 24 volt D.C.,
coming from a battery-backed outlet. The
units are communicating with the operator
panel via a serial connection. Communication between the units takes place via a
duplicated network.

The computer unit named Alphacomm Safety

(ACS) is acting as a self-contained safety
system, using the OP-E as its display.
The computer unit named Alphacomm Monitoring Engine (ACM-E) is handling the
following tasks:
Acting as a data collection device, using
the OP-E as its display
Data link to the ship's alarm system
Automatic control functions on the en

The ACM-E is connected to the ships alarm

system via a serial connection, enabling access to all sensor values.
The ACS is connected to the Propulsion
Control System via a serial connection, enabling remote display and operation of the
Safety System.
Lists of sensors connected to the LMCS can
be found in chapters 84 and 86.

Sensor failure
(value out of range or cable failure) can be indicated on the OP-E in the following ways:
The upper and lower indicator of a bar
graph is flashing to indicate that the
corresponding sensor has a failure.
The digital display marked Measure
ment is displaying FAIL when a sen
sor selected by the yellow LED has a
failure.
A single shut down indicator is flashing
to indicate sensor failure of a shut down
sensor
The Safety system interface, fig 80.13
The shut down indicators are duplicated. The
right hand side of the indicators are activated
via the ACS, while the left hand side is activated via the ACM-E.
2004-08-05
The digital display marked Measurement

will show the values originating from the
sensors connected to the ACM-E.
The digital display marked Engine Running
Hours is indicating the total number of hours
where the engine has been running. The
counter can not be reset by the ships crew.
The push-button marked Panel/Lamp Test
will, as long as activated, turn on all indicators inside the panel. Both indicators for the
safety and the monitoring circuits will be
activated.
When green, the two indicators marked
Safety Syst. Link OK and Monit. Syst. Link
OK indicate that the communication with the
ACS and the ACM-E respectively is working.
If there is a problem with the communication
to one of the Alphacomm units, the corresponding indicator will be turned off.

When one of the shut down sensors is exceeding its limit , the corresponding single
shut down indicator will be turned on. Simultaneously, the Shut Down Memory will be set
and the Safety Stop valve will be activated
and the engine will be stopped.
The Shut Down Memory can be reset by
activating the push-button RESET SHUT
DOWN.
Shut downs are divided into Cancellable shut
downs and Non-cancellable shut downs as
indicated above.
Cancellable shut downs
When the push button CANCEL SHUT
DOWN is activated, the indicators SHUT
DOWN Cancelled will be turned on to indicate the present status. If one of the cancellable shut down sensors should exceed its
shut down limit, nothing will happen as long
as the SHUT DOWN Cancelled indicator
is on.
Activating the push button CANCEL SHUT
DOWN will turn the indicator off again.
Cancellable shut downs will be initiated by a

pre-warning of 6 seconds on the bridge and
in the ECR. During this time, the operator
has the possibility, via the Propulsion Control
System, to cancel the shut down before it
stops the engine.
Non-cancellable shut downs
A non-cancellable shut down will always shut
down the engine immediately. It can not be
cancelled.
Sensor failure
Sensorfailure on a shut down sensor will not
lead to a shut down. An alarm will be given
via the ships alarm system, and the corresponding indicator on the OP-E will start
flashing. The flashing will not stop before the
sensor failure has been repaired.
Local control, fig 80.14
The local control functions are acting directly
on the machinery components; i e the local
controls are operating independently of the
computer units. However, any active start
blocking coming from the Safety System, will
inhibit the start of the engine.

Speed-setting of the governor
The set-point of the governor is remotely

controlled by the PCS when the CONTROL
POSITION switch is in position REMOTE.
When changing from REMOTE to LOCAL,
no change of set-point will take place.
Safety system
The safety system is acting as an independent stand alone system including its own
sensors. In order to give an even higher
safety level, the safety functions are duplicated in the ACM-E, ie also in case of a failure of the actual safety system, the full shut
down protection of the engine will be intact
via the ACM-E, acting on the stop valve of
the governor.
Warning
In case of failure of the ACS, all start
blockings will be released automatically. The
operator must prevent a dangerous situation
when starting the engine, ie check that the
turning gear is not engaged.
Test of the overspeed shut down

function
It is possible to test the overspeed shut
down function, using switches on the two
units ACS and ACM-E. The switches are
located inside box 1 on the front end of the
engine.
The normal overspeed shut down limit is
960 rpm. By activating the test-switch, the
limit is lowered to 600 rpm.
2004-08-05
The governor set-point can be controlled

when the CONTROL POSITION switch is
in position LOCAL. Speed-setting is done by
turning the appropriate knob on the governor
itself. Please refer to the governor manual.
Fig 80.15
SW1
In addition to the operator interface on the

local Operator Panels described above, there
are similar operator facilities on the Operator
Panels of the Remote Control System.
Switch number 2 is used for

test of the overspeed shut down
function.
Normal switch position is
OFF giving overspeed shut
down at 960 rpm.
Start blocking
The safety system detects possible start
blockings as shown above. The start blocking
protection is active during both remote and
local operation.
In case of a very high turbo charger speed,
the waste gate valve will be opened in order
to decrease the turbo charger speed. During
remote control, the PCS will normally avoid
the high TC rpm by reducing engine load (ie
propeller pitch).
The list of all shut down sensors and their
limits can be found in chapter 86.

By setting switch number 2 ON only on the

ACS, only the shut down system of the ACS
will be tested. Only the safety shut down
valve will be activated when the engine rpm
exceeds 600. The individual fuel pumps will
be pushed to zero position using compressed
air.
Release 1 80A1-01
MAN B&W Diesel
After test of the overspeed shut down of the

ACS, the switch is set back to OFF and the
shut down memory is reset by the operator
via the RESET SHUT DOWN push button
of the Operator Panel - Engine.
By setting switch number 2 ON only on the
ACM-E, only the shut down system of the
ACM-E will be tested. Only the stop valve
inside the governor will be activated when
the engine rpm exceeds 600. The fuel pumps
will collectively be pushed to zero position
by the governor. After test of the overspeed
shut down of the ACM-E, the switch is set
back to OFF and the shut down memory is
reset by the operator via the RESET SHUT
DOWN push button of the Operator Panel
- Engine.
2004-08-05
Automatic control functions

The following automatic control functions will
be carried out by the ACM-E unit:
Position of the turbo charger by-pass
valve
Position of the turbo charger waste gate
valve
Activation of the Jet Assistance valve
Position of the Variable Injection timing
Control (VIC)
Position of the charge air low tempera
ture cooler by-pass valve
The position of the two turbo charger valves
is sensed by feed-back switches, and the corresponding position is displayed as WASTE
GATE OPEN (or CLOSED) and BY-PASS
OPEN (or CLOSED)
The position of the two turbo charger valves
is supervised by the ACM-E. If there is a
discrepancy between the commanded position and the actual position, an alarm will be
given via the ships alarm system. In addi-
L27/38
indicator until command and feed-back signals coincide again.
Connection to the ships alarm

system
Generally, all measurements from the ACM-E
can be transmitted to the Ships Alarm System which will detect possible exceeding of
alarm limits and emit an alarm throughout
the vessel as required. Chapter 84 gives the
exact information of the alarm sensors and
their limits.
The connection to the Ships Alarm System
is realised using a serial point to point connection. Supervision of the communication
line must be handled by the ships alarm
system, as this is acting as a master in the
communication.
Note
It is important that all alarms lead to prompt
investigation and remedy of the error.
No alarm is insignificant. It is therefore important that all engine crew members are familiar
with and well trained in use and important of
the alarm system.
The most serious alarms are equipped with
slow-down and/or shut-down functions.
Connection to the Propulsion

Control System
The ACS is connected to the Propulsion Control System via a serial connection, enabling
remote display and operation of the Safety
System. In case of a failure of this communication line, the PCS will initiate an alarm.

Fig 84.2 shows a typical Pt 100 sensor for
measuring of liquid temperature and fig 84.3
shows a typical Pt 100 sensor for measuring
of bearing temperatures.
The sensor is made of a platinum (Pt) thread
with a resistance of 100 ohm at 0C, hence
the name Pt 100. The connection between the
Pt 100 sensor resistance and the measured
temperature may be seen in the table.

Temperature sensors (NiCrNi thermocouple)
The NiCrNi thermocouples consist of two
wires of different material: nickel-chromium
and nickel-aluminium, respectively. The
amount of voltage generated between the
two depends on the temperature of the medium in which the sensor is placed. In the
temperature range from 0 C to 600 C, the
generated voltage is from 0 V to 25 mV.
The NiCrNi thermocouple is mainly used for
measuring of engine exhaust temperature.
Appearance and construction of the sensor

can vary depending on the spot where the
temperature is measured, see fig 84.4.
The sensors used for measuring of the engine exhaust gas temperature from each
cylinder contain two independent thermocouples, one connected to the AlphaComm
monitoring unit and one connected to the
AlphaComm safety unit.

The level sensors shown in fig 84.5 are all

used for measuring high/low limits of liquid
levels. They function in the same way and
their design depends on the connection in
which they are to be used.
In principle, they consist of a magnetic float
moving according to the liquid level and thus
activate a glass-cased, hermetically sealed
switch in the core of the level device.

In general, the sensors are used to measure the position of a movable mechanical
part, but also used as a tacho sensor to
detect rotational speed of a shaft. A transistor circuit inside the sensor will react when
a metal object approaches the front of the
sensor, whereby the output signal from the
sensor is activated. The proximity sensor is
used mainly for relatively low speed measurements and position measurements of
movable parts.
2004-02-17
For high speed measurements, a magnetic

tacho sensor generating an electrical signal is used. This sensor type consists of a
permanent magnet and a coil. A voltage is
induced in the coil when ferromagnetic material passes the front of the sensor.

Fixed to movable part
A displacement sensor is used to measure

the actual position of movable mechanical
parts. The measured displacement can be
angular or linear. The sensor registers the
actual position of the movable mechanical
part and transforms it into an electrical signal
(420 mA) corresponding to the range of displacement specified on the sensor. The sensor will normally consist of a ferromagnetic
or magnetic part mounted on the movable
mechanical part and a fixed part incorporating an electronic circuit for conditioning of
the measured signal.

Test of sensors
Generally, all measurements collected by the

Alphacomm units, mounted on the engine
and the gear, are transmitted to the ships
alarm system where possible exceeding of
alarm limits will be detected and alarmed as
required throughout the vessel. The list with
Summary of alarms gives the exact information of the sensors and their alarm limits.
According to the maintenance program for

the engine, the tests mentioned on the following work cards should be carried out at every
major overhaul. The test shall make sure that
in case of abnormal operating conditions, a
warning is given in orderto prevent a major
breakdown.
The list Summary of alarms incorporated in
this chapter gives the exact information of
the sensors and their alarm limits. The lists
Summary of shut downs, load reductions and
stand-by pump controls incorporated in the
following chapter 86 give the exact information of the safety and control sensors and
their limits.
