Warranty
Use of the approved fluids and lubricants, either under the brand name or in accordance with the specifica-
tions given in this publication, constitutes part of the warranty conditions.
The supplier of the fluids and lubricants is responsible for the worldwide standard quality of the named prod-
ucts.
Important
Fluids and lubricants for drive systems may be hazardous materials. Certain regulations must be obeyed
when handling, storing and disposing of these substances.
These regulations are contained in the manufacturers' instructions, legal requirements and technical guide-
lines valid in the individual countries. Great differences can apply from country to country and a generally
valid guide to applicable regulations for fluids and lubricants is therefore not possible within this publication.
Users of the products named in these specifications are therefore obliged to inform themselves of the locally
valid regulations. MTU accepts no responsibility whatsoever for improper or illegal use of the fluids and lubri-
cants which it has approved.
When handling fluids and lubricants the "Rules for the protection of the environment" (see Operating Instruc-
tions, Safety Regulations, Disassembly and Disposal) must be observed since they are hazardous to health
and flammable.
Incorrect use of fluids and lubricants causes environmental pollution:
• Fluids and lubricants must not enter the ground or the sewerage system.
• Used fluids and lubricants must be disposed of through used oil recycling or hazardous waste disposal.
• Used filter elements and cartridges must be disposed of with hazardous waste.
Important
The customer / operator bears the responsibility for observing the fuel values.
Preservation
All information on preservation, represervation and depreservation including the approved preservatives is
available in the Preservation and Represervation Specifications (publication number A001070/...). The most
recent version can be consulted under:

2 Lubricants
2.1 General Information
2.1.1 Engine oil
The selection of a suitable engine oil for gas engines depends primarily on the type of gas used to power the
engine. The gas engine must only be operated with approved engine oil.
Approved engine oils are specified in the following chapters:
• For Series 4000 (→ Page 14)
• For Series 400 (→ Page 18)
An essential factor is the share of interfering contamination in the fuel gas. This requires that the operator
regularly carries out gas checks. The gas engine oils to be used are characterized by the lowest possible ash
content. This prevents increased ash deposits which can lead to reduced catalytic converter performance or
combustion knocking.
During operation with biogas, in certain circumstances the engine oil contains corrosive contaminants which
are created when the pollutants contained in the gas (chlorine, fluorine and sulfur compounds) are burned.
These corrosive constituents can only be neutralized to a limited extent even by special additives engine oil.
Corrosion damage to the oil-lubricated engine components can only be avoided by more frequent oil
changes. To improve buffering of concentration peaks when oil is subjected to corrosive contaminants, an
increased engine oil volume is urgently recommended.
Important
Dispose of used fluids and lubricants in accordance with local regulations.
Important
Viscosity grade SAE 40 is stipulated for gas engines.
Multigrade oils are not permitted.
Important
Mixing different engine oils is strictly prohibited.
Important
Changing to another oil grade can be accomplished in the course of an oil change provided certain condi-
tions are met. Contact MTU Service for this purpose.
Important
For applications with biogas, sewage gas or landfill gas, the quantity of oil in the engine oil pan is not ade-
quate. A larger volume of oil is required.

A001072/02E 2020-06 | Lubricants | 7

2.1.2 Engine oil change intervals
Oil change intervals for gas engines
Engine oil change intervals depend on the engine-oil quality, its conditioning, the operating conditions and
the fuel used.
An oil sample must therefore be extracted on a regular basis depending on the engine oil volume, type of gas
and series and the oil analysis must be compared with the limit values from table (→ Table 2). The oil sam-
ples must always be taken under the same site conditions (engine at operation temperature) and at the des-
ignated point (extraction nozzle on oil filter housing).
If the limit values as per table (→ Table 2) are reached or exceeded, an oil change must be carried out imme-
diately.
When using an extended volume of oil, the limit values for wear elements must be reduced inversely propor-
tional to the volume enlargement. The maximum permissible reduction of limit values for the wear elements
is 50% of the limit value from the table (→ Table 2).
Fixed oil change intervals without oil analysis are permitted following consultation with MTU.

*** During the 1st oil change (max. 3000 op. hrs.), the limit value is 50 ppm.
Table 2: Limit values for used gas engine oils SAE 40
Used-oil analysis
The results of the oil analyses must be archived.
8 | General Information | A001072/02E 2020-06

From the indicated test methods and limit values, (→ Table 2) you can derive when the result of a single oil
sample analysis is to be viewed as abnormal. An abnormal result (e.g. increased wear of the oil) requires an
immediate investigation and rectification of the irregular operating condition (e.g. check of the gas prepara-
tion or analysis of the gas samples).
The limit values relate to individual oil samples. If the limit values are reached or exceeded, an oil change
must be carried out immediately. The results of the oil analysis do not necessarily indicate the wear taking
place on specific elements and components.
Aside from the analytical limit values, the condition, operating condition and possible malfunctions of the en-
gine and the periphery of the system are also of equal importance.

2.1.3 Silicon compounds in the fuel gas
Silicon compounds in the gas lead to deposits and promote wear. Even catalytic converters are deactivated
by these compounds. Damage caused by silicon compounds is not covered by the warranty.
Silicon operational value SiB

During operation with gases containing silicon, take particular note of the increased silicon content in the oil.
For this purpose, the silicon operational value SiB must be calculated with the help of the formula below.
(Oil fill quantity + top-up quantity) [liters]

SiB = Delta Si oil analysis B - A [ppm] x
generated electrical work [kWh]
Compliance with the SiB must be seamlessly verified by the operator's analyses.
Silicon operational value SiBG

With regard to the silicon operational limit values SiBG, a distinction is made between operating with a cata-
lytic converter and operating without one.
Operation SiBG
With catalytic exhaust gas cleaning 0
Without catalytic exhaust gas cleaning < 0.01 (Series 4000)
Without catalytic exhaust gas cleaning < 0.02 (Series 400)
Experience has shown that for the required use of oxidation catalytic converters, the impossibility of verifica-
tion must be requested (Si B = 0).
Nevertheless, due to the high sensitivity of the catalytic converter, premature activity loss can occur, particu-
larly at formaldehyde conversion.
Important
MTU excludes damage caused by silicon to the engine and catalytic converter from the warranty.
Example for calculating the silicon operating value SiB

Example data for calculating the silicon operating value SiB
Delta Si between oil analysis A and B 20 ppm (mg/kg)
Oil fill quantity in circulation 800 dm3
Topped up oil quantity 200 dm3
Generated electrical work between oil analysis A and B 2000000 kWh
(800 + 200) [dm3]

SIB = 20 [ppm] x =0.01
2000000 [kWh]

3 Coolants
3.1.1 Coolant – Definition
Important
Ensure that used fluids and lubricants are collected in sufficiently large collecting containers. Observe safe-
ty data sheets and dispose of used fluids and lubricants in accordance with country-specific regulations.
Coolant = coolant additive (concentrate) + fresh water to predefined mixing ratio

• Ready for use in engine
Antifreeze = Corrosion inhibitor + glycol + additives + water

• The predecessor version of the Fluids and Lubricants Specifications
used the term "corrosion inhibiting antifreeze". For clarity purposes,
this publication uses the term "Antifreeze".
Antifreeze is necessary for engine operation in areas where below-freezing temperatures may occur.
The relevant concentration range for use is listed in the section on operational monitoring.
Coolant without antifreeze = Corrosion inhibitor + additives + water
• The predecessor version of the Fluids and Lubricants Specifications
used the term "water-soluble corrosion inhibitors". This designation
will be replaced with immediate effect with "coolant without anti-
freeze".
The coolants approved by MTU ensure adequate corrosion protection provided the correct concentrations
are used. The relevant concentration range for use is listed in the section on operational monitoring.
Approved coolant additives are specified in the following chapters:
• For Series 4000 gas engine – marine application (→ Page 37)
• For Series 4000 gas engine – generator application and engine-generator set (→ Page 46)
• For Series 4000 gas engine – engine-generator set (→ Page 54)
.
Special arrangements presently in effect remain valid.
Important
Coolant additives containing nitrite must not be used in conjunction with coolers that contain brass.
Important
Flushing with water is required at every change to a different coolant product. For flushing and cleaning
specifications for engine coolant circuits, see (→ Page 81).
Important
TIM-ID: 0000051961 - 005
Propylene glycol-based antifreezes are stipulated for use in some types of applications. These products
have a lower thermal conductivity than the usual ethylene glycol products. This results in a higher tempera-
ture level in the engine.
The product BASF G206 is available for use at extremely low temperatures (< -40 °C).
The corrosion-inhibiting effect of coolant is only ensured with the coolant circuit fully filled.
Only corrosion inhibitors approved for internal preservation of the coolant circuit also provide proper corro-
sion protection when the medium is drained. This means that, after draining of the coolant, the cooling cir-
cuit must be preserved if the coolant is not refilled. The procedure is described in the Preservation and Rep-
reservation Specifications A001070/...
24 | Coolants | A001072/02E 2020-06

Coolants must be prepared from suitable fresh water and a coolant additive approved by MTU. Conditioning
of the coolant must take place outside the engine.
Important
Mixtures of different coolant additives and supplementary additives (also in coolant filters and filters down-
stream of plant components) are not permitted.
Important
For ready mixtures, the proportion of coolant additive (concentrate) is always named first.
Example: Coolant AH 40/60 Antifreeze Premix = 40 % coolant additive by volume / 60 % fresh water by
volume
TIM-ID: 0000051961 - 005

3.1.2 Operational monitoring / coolant preparation
Advance inspection of the fresh water and monitoring of the coolant are essential for trouble-free engine op-
eration. Fresh water coolant should be inspected at least once per year and with each fill-up. Inspections can
be carried out using the MTU Test Kit. which contains the necessary equipment, chemicals and instructions
for use.
The following tests can be conducted with the MTU Test Kit:
• Determination of total hardness (°d)
• pH value
• Chloride content of fresh water
• Determination of antifreeze content
• Determination of the concentration of coolant without antifreeze
Orders for fresh water and coolant analysis may be placed with MTU. Samples of min. 0.25 l must be sup-
plied.

* = antifreeze specifications determined as per ASTM D 1177
Table 17: Permissible concentrations of antifreezes
Important
After flushing the engine coolant circuit, the concentration of antifreeze must not exceed 35 % by volume.
Add antifreeze to the fresh water with a concentration of at least 35 % by volume when antifreeze protection
to minus - 20 °C is sufficient. If lower ambient temperatures are expected, the concentration must be in-
creased accordingly. A concentration of above 50 % by volume is impermissible.
Mixtures containing a proportion of antifreeze below 35 % by volume do not guarantee adequate corrosion
protection.
Use the treated water in both summer and winter operation. Compensate for coolant losses in such a way as
to maintain the antifreeze concentration.

• For reasons of corrosion protection, do not store in galvanized containers. Take this requirement into
TIM-ID: 0000078631 - 002
account when coolant must be transferred.

• Containers must be hermetically sealed and stored in a cool, dry place. Frost protection must be provid-
ed in winter.
• Further information can be obtained from the product and safety data sheets for the individual coolants.

3.1.4 Color additives for detection of leaks in the coolant circuit
The following listed fluorescent dyes are approved as additives for coolant without antifreeze for the detec-
tion of leaks.

B.V.
Table 22: Approved dye additives

1)
= based on original and hermetically sealed containers in frost-free storage (> 5 °C)
Application:
Approx. 40 g dye must be added to 180 l coolant.
This dye quantity is already very generous and must not be exceeded.
The fluorescence (yellow color tone) is easily recognizable in daylight. In dark rooms, UV light can be used
with a wave length of 365 nm.
TIM-ID: 0000053354 - 004

3.1.5 Cooling system damage – Prevention
• When topping up (following loss of coolant) it must be ensured that not only water but also concentrate is
added. The specified antifreeze and/or corrosion inhibitor concentration must be maintained.
• The corrosion inhibitor concentration must not exceed 50 % by volume Use antifreeze. Concentrations in
excess of this reduce antifreeze protection and heat dissipation. Only exception: BASF G206 (special ap-
plication)
• The coolant must not contain any oil or copper residue (in solid or dissolved form).
• The majority of corrosion inhibitors currently approved for internal coolant circuit preservation are water-
soluble and do not provide antifreeze protection. Make sure that the engine is stored safe from frost, be-
cause a certain amount of coolant remains in the engine after draining.
• A coolant circuit can not usually be drained completely, i.e. residual quantities of used coolant or fresh
water from a flushing procedure remain in the engine. These residual quantities can result in the dilution
of a coolant to be filled (mixed from a concentrate or use of a ready mixture). This dilution effect is higher
the more add-on components there are on the engine. Check the coolant concentration in the coolant
circuit and adapt it if necessary.
All coolants approved in these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications generally relate only to the coolant cir-
cuits of MTU engines. In the case of complete propulsion plants, the fluids and lubricants approvals of the
component manufacturer must be observed.
For corrosion-related reasons, it is not permissible to operate an engine with pure water without the addi-
tion of an approved corrosion inhibitor.
TIM-ID: 0000078599 - 001

3.1.6 Unsuitable materials in the coolant circuit
Components made of copper, zinc and brass materials
Unless various preconditions are observed, components made of copper, zinc and brass materials or with
galvanized surfaces in the coolant circuit (incl. supply and drain lines) can cause an electrochemical reaction
with base metals (e.g. with aluminum). As a result, components made of base metals are subject to corro-
sion or even corrosive pitting. The coolant circuit becomes leaky at these points.
Non-metallic materials
• Do not use EPDM or silicon elastomers if emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oils are used or other oils are
introduced to the coolant circuit.
Coolant filter / filter downstream of plant components

• If such filters are used, only products that do not contain additives may be used.
Supplementary additives such as silicates, nitrites etc. can diminish the protective effect or service life of
a coolant and, possibly, attack the materials installed in the coolant circuit.
Information:
In case of doubt about the use of materials on the engine / add-on components in coolant circuits, consulta-
tion with the respective MTU specialist department must be held.
TIM-ID: 0000080979 - 003

3.1.7 Fresh water requirements – Series 4000
Only clean, clear water with values in accordance with those in the following table must be used for condi-
tioning the coolant with and without antifreeze. If the limit values for the water are exceeded, de-mineralized
water can be added to reduce the hardness or mineral content.

3.2 Series 4000 gas engine – Marine application
3.2.1 Coolant – General information
Important
The coolant change depends on the operating time (hours/years) of the engine and on which operating
time is reached first.
Operating hours = preheating time + engine operating time

Important
All details are based on the coolant circuit on the engine side, no allowance is made for external add-on
components.
Important
In the case of an engine coolant circuit with no light metal elements but with add-on components contain-
ing light metal (e.g. external cooling system), the coolant approvals for cooling systems containing light
metal shall apply. If you have any doubts about a coolant application, consult your contact person.
Important
The use of products other than those listed will invalidate the warranty.
For details and special features, see “General” (→ Page 24) and “Unsuitable materials in the coolant circuit”
(→ Page 33).
Any deviant special agreements between the customer and MTU remain valid.

3.3.1 Coolant – General information
Important
The coolant change depends on the operating time (hours/years) of the engine and on which operating
time is reached first.
Operating hours = preheating time + engine operating time

Important
All details are based on the coolant circuit on the engine side, no allowance is made for external add-on
components.
Important
In the case of an engine coolant circuit with no light metal elements but with add-on components contain-
ing light metal (e.g. external cooling system), the coolant approvals for cooling systems containing light
metal shall apply. If you have any doubts about a coolant application, consult your contact person.
Important
For details and special features, see “General” (→ Page 24) and “Unsuitable materials in the coolant circuit”
(→ Page 33).
Any deviant special agreements between the customer and MTU remain valid.

Information on warranty
It is strongly recommended to use ready mixed antifreezes for the engine cooling circuit.
If these ready mixtures are used, the following requirements will be met:
• The ratio of water to antifreeze is set correctly
• The used (fresh) water complies with the specifications set out in “Requirements of engine coolant”.
The service lives of components will be shortened if the water used does not comply with the specifications.
In such a case, there is a risk of deposits forming for many components, which can lead to a reduction in
heat transfer and hence a reduction in functionality (heat exchanger) or to overheating of the components.
Observe the following with "self-mixing" of coolant:
• Only use the approved silicate-free antifreezes with the specified ratio to water
• A form must be signed confirming that the water used fulfills the requirements set out in the Fluids and
Lubricants Specifications.
Check the concentration at regular intervals in accordance with the maintenance schedule. The coolant
should be checked once a year or each time it is added, whichever comes first. Due to aging, the coolant
filling must be replaced after 25,000 operating hours or after 3 years at the latest.

4 Fuels
4.1.1 Fuels – Usage
The specified limit values for moisture in the fuel must be observed because otherwise the warranty shall
become void.
The fuel must not contain any corrosive compounds (e.g. siloxanes, phosphor, arsenic, heavy metal, sulfur,
ammonia, chlorine, fluorine, bromide and iodine compounds).
The specified limit values must be observed because otherwise the warranty shall become void.
Gas engines must only be operated with the gases approved for the respective gas engine type.
For operation with natural gas from the public grid, the following must be confirmed by the responsible gas
utility company prior to commissioning of the engine at the latest:
• Whether the minimum methane number and calorific value range specified on the respective data sheet
are observed
• Whether butane or a propane-air mixture are added at times
• Whether biogas feeding into the natural gas grid is also possible (coordinate through factory request). A
gas analysis must be available.
The usage options of the approved gas types must be checked by gas analysis at least twice a year. The
following changes can thus be detected and measures initiated:
• Gas composition
• Harmful elements in the gas
In the entire application and operating range of the engine, the use of fuels is restricted to purely gaseous
fuels. Liquid fuels are not permitted.
The fuel must be technically free of mist, dust and liquid. Condensation in the gas system must be prevented
by suitable measures (dehumidification, protection against cooling down, heating, etc.). Corrosive constitu-

4.1.3 Liquid Natural Gas (LNG)
Notes on Liquid Natural Gas (LNG)
Note that the LNG Bunker Delivery Note in the IGF Code specifies component fractions as mass percent. The
representation deviates significantly from other common representations in Mol or volume percent.
LNG tanks may only be filled with LNG to 90% of their overall volume. Any additional heat in the tank causes
small amounts of liquid gas to vaporize and accumulate as gas in the “boil-off” phase. The composition of
this boil-off gas depends on the composition of the liquid phase. The N2 component in the boil-off phase may
by 20x greater than the nitrogen content in the liquid phase. In general, boil-off gas can contain 20 % by
volume nitrogen and 80 % by volume methane as well as traces of ethane.
LNG as per EN1160 has a lower methane limit mass fraction of 75% and an upper nitrogen limit mass frac-
tion of 5%.
The use of LNG with a nitrogen content of <1 m/m% is recommended to avoid rollover effects.
The term “rollover” is used to describe vaporization and the subsequent increase in pressure this entails as a
result of stratification and the rapid mixing of superheated liquid from the lower layer with the upper layer
under the hydrostatic head exerted by the latter.
LNG contains no significant, or only traces of CO2, as CO2 solidifies at temperatures below -56 °C and the
pressures around 5.2 bar which generally prevail in such tanks. CO2 sublimates at -78.5 °C under normal
pressure conditions.

4.1.4 Silicon and sulfur compounds in the fuel gas
Silicon compounds in the gas lead to deposits and promote wear. Even catalytic converters are deactivated
by these compounds. Damage caused by silicon and sulfur compounds is not covered by the warranty.
For determination of the Si concentration in the lube oil and its limit value, refer to chapter Lubricants
(→ Page 10).
Determination of silicon concentration and sulfur content in the fuel gas from gas
analysis
To determine the silicon or sulfur concentration, the measured concentrations or the sulfur content of the
individual compounds are multiplied by the Si or S mass fractions.
The result is based on the calorific value of the fuel gas and standardized at 10 kWh energy content (equals
1 m3 NTP. CH4).
Measured silicon share from the gas analysis (or sulfur concentration)

4.2.3 Specifications for the medium in the gas piping enclosure for marine
applications
General
IGF 5.5.2 stipulates that all piping bearing fuel gas routed in engine rooms complying with the “safe machi-
nery concept” shall feature a double-wall or jacketed design. This enclosure surrounding the fuel piping shall
facilitate the detection of leaking fuel gas by means of a suitable medium and appropriate measuring tech-
nology. The IGF code basically envisages two ways of accomplishing this:
1. Purging/ventilating the enclosure with air
2. Pressurizing the enclosure surrounding the fuel pipe with an inert gas at a higher pressure than that of
the fuel gas.
The gas system of the MTU marine engine is designed for operation in either of these scenarios. The gas
train itself can only be used in conjunction with the air purging concept. The media in the enclosure sur-
rounding the gas piping are specified as follows:
1. Air purging concept

should not be exceeded to avoid ex-
cessive pressure loss.

Table 42: Requirements and site conditions for natural gas fuel and the corresponding fuel supply
All listed limit values for pollutants (in ppm and mg/m3) are based on a calorific value of 10 kWh/m3 NTP.
This corresponds to a reference to fuels with 100 % by vol. methane, or the existence of other combustible
components in the fuel with the same energy equivalent and the same input of hazardous materials.
Example:
• Russian natural gas with a calorific value of 10 kWh/m3 NTP is used. The permissible value for total sulfur
in the gas thus corresponds exactly to the limit value specified in the table.
• When using a gas (e.g. East Hanover) with Hi,n = 8.15 kWh/m3 NPT, the permissible maximum value for
the total sulfur is calculated as follows:
Permissible total sulfur content = 30 mg/m³ NPT · (8.15 kWh/m3NPT : 10.0 kWh/m3 NPT) = 24.5 mg/

In order to allow trouble-free operation and avoid damage, however, certain limit values have to be complied
with.
If it turns out during commissioning that the quality requirement for the fuel is not met, MTU reserves the
right to charge for the aborted commissioning procedure.
Compliance with the emission and consumption values specified in the data sheet applies only to the speci-
fied reference gas compositions for biogas, sewage gas and landfill gas. The CO2 / CH4 volume ratio is of
importance here.

If the quality of the raw gas exceeds the appropriate limit value for sulfur, a gas desulfurization system, de-
signed according to the quality of gas in the system, has to be installed.
TIM-ID: 0000075182 - 004
With the special sulfur-resistant MTU oxidizing catalytic converter, operation without fine desulfurization is
permissible as long as the specified limit value for sulfur in the fuel is complied with.
In the case of active exhaust gas heat utilization, if limit values are exceeded during operation there will be
an increased build-up of corrosive deposits. Damage caused by these deposits can result in total failure of
the components. Earlier cleaning of the exhaust gas heat exchanger is therefore necessary.
Due to potential fluctuations in the sulfur content in practice, MTU is unable to offer any guarantees regard-
ing the cleaning intervals.

Concerning operation with the oxidizing catalytic converter without exhaust gas heat utilization, the exhaust
gas temperature at the exhaust gas system opening must definitely be above 300 °C. If necessary, the ex-
haust pipe must be insulated.

5 Exhaust Gas Aftertreatment System
5.1 General
To reduce exhaust emissions on stoichiometric engines (lambda = 1, without excess air), 3-way catalytic con-
verters are used.
To reduce exhaust emissions due to incompletely burned combustion products on engine with lean operation
(operation with excess air), oxidation catalysts are used.
For additional reduction of NOx emissions with lean operation engines, SCR catalytic converters (selective
catalytic reduction) can be used. The reducing agent (urea solution with an urea concentration of 32.5 %) in
such catalysts reduces the nitrogen oxide emissions.
To guarantee the range of functions of the catalytic converters over a specific runtime, all specifications in
the Fluids and Lubricants Specifications (with regard to fuels, intake air, lube oils) must be observed.

5.2 NOx reducing agent AUS 32 for SCR exhaust gas
aftertreatment systems
To ensure efficient operation of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system, compliance of the reducing agent
with the quality requirements stipulated in DIN 70070 / ISO 222 41-1 is mandatory.
In Europe, this reducing agent is often offered under the brand name “AdBlue”.
The test methods for determining the quality and characteristics of the reducing agent are specified in the
standards DIN 70071 / ISO 222 41-2. The following table (→ Table 49) shows the quality characteristics of
the reducing agent together with the associated test methods (extract from ISO 222 41-1).
Important
SCR systems from MTU are usually designed for a concentration of 32.5 % urea. The use of NOx reducing
agent with other urea concentrations (AUS 40, AUS 48) requires a different design of the dosing systems.
Systems with the corresponding design must be run with the appropriately adapted concentration.
The purity requirements of the reducing agent then comply with the standards for AUS 32
Important
The use of antifreeze additives for AUS 32, or winter urea, is generally not approved.

Storage of reducing agent
Information on storage/packaging/transport as well as suitable/unsuitable materials in the reducing agent
circuit can be obtained in the standard ISO 222 41-3. Also observe the manufacturer's specifications in this
regard.
Avoid direct sunlight because it promotes the occurrence of microorganisms and the decomposition of the
reducing agent.
Where possible, store and transport the reducing agent AUS 32 between -5 and +25 °C to prevent loss in
quality. Long storage periods at temperatures above 25 °C can lead to destruction of the reducing agent.

5.3 Exhaust condensate
Ensure that used fluids and lubricants are collected in sufficiently large collecting containers. Dispose of
fluids and lubricants in accordance with the applicable national specifications. Do not burn used oil or dis-
pose of in fuel tank.
When fuel is burned in the engine, nitrogen oxides NOx are created in addition to carbon dioxide and water
vapor. These transform into nitric acid in the downstream components in the presence of condensed water.
Other inorganic and organic acids, e.g. sulfuric acid or sulfurous acid, can likewise be created depending on
the fuel composition. Condensate samples therefore display a lightly pungent smell and dissolved iron as a
corrosion product. The hydrogen ion concentration, i.e. the pH value of such condensate samples, is usually
in the strong to weak acid range of pH = approx. 0.5 to 4.
The water dew point of the exhaust gas depends on the composition of the fuel gas used as well as the air
ratio at which the engine is operated. The water dew point is approx. 50 °C (lean engines) up to 80 °C (lamb-
da = 1). Condensate starts to form, depending on the acid-forming constituent, at exhaust temperatures be-
low approx. 170 °C (acid dew point).
Theoretically, 1.5 kg condensate can be created from 1 m3 NTP of natural gas. When exhaust gas is cooled
down to temperatures of approx. 100 °C, significant quantities of condensate only form during start-up pro-
cedures. When exhaust gas temperatures are further cooled (below T = approx. 80 °C), condensate starts to
accumulate continuously.
To limit condensate formation as much as possible (in the exhaust gas heat exchanger or in the downstream
exhaust silencer), you should guarantee the following with gensets with exhaust cooling:
• In the exhaust gas heat exchanger, never cool the exhaust gas temperatures below 110 °C
• Ensure exhaust lines are properly insulated
• Keep the ratio of the number of machine starts to operating hours as low as possible (average values low-
er than "one start" per four operating hours are recommended).
Where possible, do not merge condensate lines from different components before the siphon (or water seal)
because otherwise condensate would escape continuously during operation due to circulation in the conden-
sate line.
A free drain via a siphon (or water seal) must be provided for the condensate at a minimum height of 400
mm. In any case, however, the drain must have more than a 100 mm water column above the corresponding
maximum permissible exhaust back pressure of the engine. This prevents exhaust gas emerging from the
condensate line. The exhaust condensate should be neutralized in a neutralization plant before being dis-
charged into the sewerage system. An oil separator is additionally required.
The condensate drain line must be checked regularly during operation and safeguarded against freezing in
winter.
Exhaust condensate may only be discharged into the local sewage system without being treated after consul-
tation with the local waste water authority, and must not under any circumstances be discharged to atmos-
phere. Municipalities in Germany, or the authorities instructed by them, are obliged to remove accumulated
waste water which also contains condensate. Condensate can also be classified in the "Special waste" cate-
gory.

6 Flushing and Cleaning Specifications for
Engine Coolant Circuits
In the course of time, sludge deposits from aging coolant additives can accumulate in the coolant circuits.
Reduced cooling capacity, clogged vent lines and drain points and dirty coolant level sight glasses can result.
Below-standard water quality or incorrect coolant preparation can also heavily contaminate the system.
If such conditions occur, the coolant circuit is to be flushed out with fresh water, repeatedly if necessary.
If these flushing sequences are insufficient or if the system is too heavily contaminated, the coolant circuit
and all affected parts must be cleaned.
Only clean, fresh water (no river or sea water) must be used for flushing.
Only products approved by MTU or equivalent products at the specified concentrations may be used for
cleaning, see (→ Page 82). The specified cleaning procedure is to be complied with.
Immediately after flushing or cleaning, fill the coolant circuits with prepared engine coolant as stipulated in
the current Fluids and Lubricants Specifications. Otherwise there is a danger of corrosion!
Important
Fluids and lubricants (e.g. treated engine coolant), used flushing water, cleaning agents and cleaning solu-
tions can be hazardous materials. Certain regulations must be obeyed when handling, storing and disposing
of these substances.
These regulations are contained in the manufacturer's instructions, legal requirements and technical guide-
lines valid in the individual countries. Considerable differences can apply from country to country so that
no generally valid statement on the applicable regulations for fluids and lubricants etc. can be made in this
publication.
Users of the products named in these specifications are therefore obliged to inform themselves of the lo-
cally valid regulations. MTU accepts no liability whatsoever for improper or illegal use of the fluids and lubri-
cants / cleaning agents which it has approved.
Important
Scrap oil heat exchangers from engines with bearing or piston seizures or friction damage.

c) If the pH value difference is still > 1 after 4 to 5 flushing operations: The coolant circuit must be cleaned,
see (→ Page 84). The assemblies may also have to be cleaned, see (→ Page 85).
Refer to the engine operating instructions for additional information.
TIM-ID: 0000037747 - 006
6.4 Engine coolant circuits – Cleaning
1. Mix cleaner to the specified concentration with freshwater. Use warm freshwater (45 °C) if the engine is
warm.
2. Cleaning agents for coolant circuits are prepared in warm freshwater as a concentrated solution, see
(→ Page 82).
3. In the case of powdered products, stir until the cleaning agent is completely dissolved and without sediment.
4. Pour solution together with freshwater into coolant circuit.
5. Start engine and run until warm.
6. Select temperature and duration of residence time according to the specifications of the technical data
sheets of the manufacturer.

Important
Refer to the engine operating instructions for additional information.
TIM-ID: 0000037713 - 008
6.5 Assemblies – Cleaning
1. Remove, disassemble and clean assemblies that are exposed to heavy sludge deposits e.g. expansion tanks,
preheating units, heat exchangers (coolant cooler, oil heat-exchanger, charge-air cooler, charge-air preheat-
er, fuel preheater etc.) and lower sections of pipework.
2. Before cleaning, examine degree of contamination on water sides.
3. If greasy lime deposits are found, first degrease the water side.
4. Deposits in charge-air coolers caused by oil mist can be removed using Kluthe Hakutex 60.
5. Remove hard lime deposits with a decalcifying product. In the event of stubborn lime deposits, if necessary a
10% inhibited hydrochloric acid solution may have to be used.
6. Dissolve deposits on and in heat-exchanger elements in a heated cleaning bath. Observe the manufacturer's
specifications and use only approved detergents in the permissible concentration, see (→ Page 82)
Deposits on the oil side can also be dissolved in a kerosene bath.
The dwell time in the cleaning bath depends on the type and degree of contamination, as well as the tem-
perature and activity of the bath.
7. Clean individual components such as housings, covers, pipes, sight glasses, heat-exchanger elements with
superheated steam, a nylon brush (soft) and a powerful water jet.
In order to avoid damage:
Do not use hard or sharp-edged tools (steel brushes, scrapers, etc.) (oxide protective layer).
Do not set the pressure of the water jet too high (may damage cooler fins, for example).
8. After cleaning, blow through the heat exchanger elements with low-pressure steam in the direction opposite
to operational flow, rinse with clear water (until pH-value difference is < 1) and blow dry with compressed or
hot air.
9. Check that all components are in perfect condition, repair or replace as necessary.
10. Flush oil and engine coolant sides of heat-exchanger elements with corrosion-inhibiting oil. This step may be
omitted if the heat exchanger is installed and taken into service immediately after cleaning.
11. After installing all assemblies, flush engine coolant circuit once, see (→ Page 83).
12. Check coolant system for leaks during initial operation of engine.
For further information, see the Maintenance Manual for the engine in question.
TIM-ID: 0000037714 - 006
6.6 Coolant circuits contaminated with bacteria, fungi or yeast
System cleaning
The system cleaner must flow a sufficiently long time through the complete cooling system to ensure effec-
tive cleaning and disinfection.
Therefore, the predefined amount of the approved system cleaner must be added to the contaminated cool-
ant in the system, see (→ Page 82). Use a circulating pump to provide continuous mixture flow through the
coolant system for at least 24 hours or max. 48 hours.
Flushing
When the coolant and system cleaner have been drained, the cooling circuit must be flushed with fresh wa-
ter. Flushing must be carried out until no more contaminants are visible and the flushing liquid has the same
pH-value as the fresh water used (max. pH-value difference < 1).
Refill
Before refilling the circuit, make sure the system is free of contaminants.
Refill must be performed directly after flushing to avoid the risk of corrosion!
TIM-ID: 0000019202 - 006
7 Inlet Air and Combustion Air
Important
No corrosive compounds must penetrate the intake air.
For operation in swimming pools or near refrigerating machines, note that even small traces of halogen com-
pounds in the supply air (intake air) can lead to corrosion on the following components:
• In the engine
• On peripheral components, e.g. electric motors
Cleaning agents can also contain aggressive substances that can cause corrosion.
In case of doubt, consult MTU.
The intake air must not be supplied with desorption air or off-gases from thermochemical process without
prior consultation with MTU.
The permissible temperature range with specification of the minimum and maximum temperature is stipulat-
ed in the technical data sheet of the engine / genset.
All gas engines from MTU can be operated with intake air below a dew point of 20 °C. Operation with intake
air above a dew point of 17.5 °C should therefore be restricted to < 200 operating hours per year. A dew
point temperature of the intake air above 21 °C is not permitted. In case of deviating values or higher dew
point temperatures of the intake air, factory consultation with MTU is necessary.
Limit values in the gas mixture

The gas mixture consists of air and fuel. The limit values in the gas mixture must not be exceeded
(→ Page 55).
The limit values in the gas mixture (in ppm) are clearly lower than the values specified for the fuel (usual-
ly lower by approx. factor 20).

8 Heating Water
Important
The specifications of MTU with regard to conditioning / ventilation of the coolant circuits must be ob-
served.
Important
Requirements for the quality of heating water above 100 °C apply when an exhaust heat exchanger has
been installed in the engine cooling circuit or the heating circuit.
Important
Adding sulfite is not allowed.
It is recommended to use WBcon 2347 as an alternative for the heating water circuit.
Please note that the product contains borates and sodium hydroxide, which are corrosive to materials such
as aluminum and brass.
Supplementary information
It is pointed out as a precaution that, in general, costs for foreseeable damage, e.g. by unsuitable water qual-
ity, are not covered by machine breakdown insurance either.
The term "Sum total, alkaline earths" refers to the content of hardness-forming, dissolved calcium and mag-
nesium salts. To convert to the former standard unit of measurement of "Total hardness", the following ap-
plies:
• 1 mol/m 3 = 5.6 dH
• The pH value is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
• pH = 7 neutral, < 7 acid, > 7 alkaline.
Important
Max. permissible fluctuation of the heating water inlet temperature: Max. 3 K / min.
