The cover has a central bore for the exhaust valve, which is attached by means of four studs. The cover furthermore has bores for the fuel valves, which are mounted with tubular spacers and nuts. Other bores have been provided for starting valve, starting air inlet, safety valve and indicator cock.
Cooling
A cooling jacket is mounted on the lower part of the cylinder cover, whereby a cooling water space is formed. Another cooling water space is formed around the exhaust valve seat, when the exhaust valve is installed. These two spaces communicate through a large number of oblique/radial cooling bores in the cover. The water is supplied from the cooling jackets surrounding the cylinder liner and passes through water connections to the cooling jacket surrounding the cylinder cover and, further on, through the cooling bores, to the space around the exhaust valve seat. From here the water is discharged to the main cooling water outlet pipe.
Tightening
The cylinder cover is tightened against the top of the cylinder liner with nuts and long studs fitted in the cylinder frame. The nuts are tightened with hydraulic jacks. Sealing between the cylinder cover and cylinder liner is obtained by means of a sealing ring of mild steel.

The piston consists of two main parts: Piston Crown Piston Skirt The piston crown is tightened to the upper end of the piston rod with screws. The screws are locked with locking wire. The piston skirt is tightened to the piston crown with flanged screws. The screws are locked with locking wire. The piston crown is provided with chromium-plated grooves for four piston rings. The uppermost groove has increased height. Piston ring No. 1 is a Controlled-Pressure Relief ring (CPR). CPR rings may have been coated on the external surface. Handle with care, as impact may cause the coating to crack and peel off. Piston rings Nos. 2, 3 and 4 have oblique cuts: piston ring No. 3 has a right-hand cut, and piston rings Nos. 2 and 4 have left-hand cuts. The piston crown has a groove for the fitting of lifting tools.
The piston rod has a through-going bore for the cooling oil pipe, which is secured to the piston rod top with flanged screws. Cooling oil is supplied through a telescopic pipe connection on the guideshoe and passed through a bore in the piston rod foot and, through the cooling oil pipe in the piston rod, to the piston crown. The oil is passed on, through a number of bores in the thrust part of the piston crown, to the space around the cooling oil pipe in the piston rod. From the bore in the piston rod foot, the oil is led through the crosshead to a discharge spout and to a slotted pipe inside the engine framebox as well as through a control device for checking the flow and temperature. The piston rod foot rests on a face cut out in the crosshead pin and is guided by a pipe in the crosshead.

A shim is inserted between the piston rod and the crosshead. The thickness of the shim is calculated for each engine, to match the actual engine layout. The rod is fastened to the crosshead pin with screws. The screws are locked with locking wire.
The bore for the piston rod in the bottom of the scavenge air box is fitted with a piston rod stuffing box, which is designed to prevent the lubricating oil in the crankcase from being drawn up into the scavenge air space. The stuffing box also prevents scavenge air (in the scavenge air space) from leaking into the crankcase. The stuffing box is mounted on a flange which is bolted to the bottom of the scavenge air space. The stuffing box is removed together with the piston rod during piston inspection, but can also be dismantled for inspection in the crankcase while the piston remains mounted in the engine. The stuffing box housing consists of two parts, which are bolted together.
Scraper/sealing rings
The housing is provided with seven machined ring grooves: The uppermost groove holds a four-part scraper ring with oblique edges, which serves to prevent sludge from the scavenge box from being drawn down to the other rings. An eight-part sealing ring is located below the scraper ring to prevent scavenge air from passing downwards along the piston rod. The scraper ring and the sealing ring are guided in relation to each other by two cylindrical pins. The next two ring grooves are each provided with a four-part sealing ring and an eight-part sealing ring below. The rings are guided by two cylindrical pins. The four lowermost ring grooves are fitted with three-part scraper rings which scrape the lubricating oil off the piston rod. Each of the three parts consists of a base ring with two machined grooves, each containing a pressed-in lamella, with a scraping edge facing the piston rod. From the three lowermost grooves, the oil is returned to the crankcase, through bores in the stuffing box housing.
Through bores in the housing and a pipe, the uppermost scraper ring groove communicates with a control funnel on the outside of the engine.

This funnel provides a means of checking that the sealing rings and scraper rings are functioning correctly: Blow-by of air indicates defective sealing rings, while excessive oil indicates defective scraper rings. The parts are held in place round the piston rod by helical springs, which are located in machined grooves on the outside of the scraper rings and sealing rings. Gaps at the end of the ring segments ensure that the rings will bear against the piston rod even in worn condition.

The cylinder section of the engine consists of a cylinder frame with integrated camshaft housing, which is tightened together with the engine framebox and the bedplate by means of stay bolts, the bottom end of which is screwed into the bedplate. Central bores at the top of the cylinder frame enclose the cylinder liners. Central bores in the bottom of the cylinder frame enclose the piston rod stuffing boxes. On the exhaust side of the cylinder frame there are openings which connect the scavenge air space around the cylinder liner with the longitudinal scavenge air receiver of the engine. There are also inlet pipes for cooling and lubricating oil. The cylinder frame is provided with cleaning and inspection covers giving access to the scavenge air spaces.
Studs for fastening the cylinder cover are mounted in the cylinder frame. The studs are equipped with sealing rings to prevent the formation of rust on the threads. The cylinder liner is cooled by means of a cooling jacket. The cooling water is supplied at the lower part of the cooling jacket. The water continues to the upper part of the cooling jacket, and from here through water connections to the cooling jacket on the lower part of the cylinder cover. Leakage of cooling water and scavenge air is prevented by silicone rubber rings located in machined grooves in the cylinder liner. The cylinder liner is tightened against the top of the cylinder frame by the cylinder cover, so that it can expand freely downwards when heated during the running of the engine.
The part of the cylinder liner which is located in the scavenge air space of the cylinder frame is provided with a number of scavenge air ports, which are uncovered by the piston when this is in its bottom position. The scavenge air ports are bored at an oblique angle to the axis of the cylinder liner so as to give the scavenge air a rotary movement in the cylinder. In the free part of the cylinder liner, between the cooling jacket and the cylinder frame, there are a number of bores with non-return valves for the supply of lubricating oil to the cylinder. On the working surface of the cylinder the bores are connected to lubricating grooves.

Each cylinder unit is fitted with an electronically controlled cylinder lubricator unit incorporating a number of oil pumps, corresponding to the number of lubricating orifices in the cylinder liner. Injection timing is controlled by an angle encoder and injection frequency is controlled by the governor system. The cylinder oil amount per injection is pre-adjusted by means of a distance pipe (plate 90306, Item 467). A transducer, which is built into terminal box 311, monitors the operation of the lubricator units. The transducer is connected to the engine safety system. The cylinder oil feed rate is automatically increased during starting, manoeuvring and sudden load change. The cylinder oil feed rate to individual or all cylinders can be increased manually during breaking-in and running-in or in the event of abnormal cylinder conditions. Regarding the cylinder lubricator units proper, reference is made to the special instruction manuals supplied. See also Vol. I, OPERATION Chapter 707.

The crosshead is provided with two guide shoes fitted on the crosshead ends. The centre part of the crosshead is designed as a bearing journal which is housed in the crosshead bearing. The crosshead bearing cap is provided with a cut-out enabling the piston rod to be assembled with the crosshead journal. The crosshead bearing is equipped with one lower steel bearing shell lined with tin-aluminium and provided with an overlayer coating. See also Vol. I, OPERATION, Chapter 708. There is no upper bearing shell, as white metal has been applied directly onto the inner diameter of the croshead bearing cap.
The piston rod foot rests on the crosshead, and is guided by a pipe in the crosshead. To match different engine layouts, a shim of calculated thickness is inserted between the piston rod and the crosshead. The piston rod is fastened to the crosshead by screws. The screws are locked with locking wire. The crosshead is provided with bores for distributing the oil supplied through the telescopic pipe, partly as cooling oil for the piston, partly as lubricating oil for the crosshead bearing and guide shoes and through a bore in the connecting rod for lubricating the crankpin bearing. A bracket fitted to one of the guide shoes supports the telescopic pipe which supplies lubricating and cooling oil to the crosshead, crankpin and piston. The outlet pipe for piston cooling oil is fitted to the other guide shoe. The outlet pipe slides within a slotted pipe inside the engine frame, and from there the oil is led through a control device for each cylinder for the purpose of checking the temperature and flow before the oil is passed on to the lube oil tank.
Lubrication
Guide shoes
The sliding faces of the guide shoes are lined with cast-on white metal. The guide shoes are guided by crosshead guides in the engine framebox and properly secured against displacement by guide strips fastened to the guide shoes.
Tightening
The crosshead bearing is held together by four studs and nuts. The nuts are tightened with hydraulic tools. The crankpin bearing is fitted with bearing shells lined with tin-aluminium and assembled in the same way as the crosshead bearing. Both the crosshead bearing shells and the crankpin bearing shells are retained in position by screws fitted in the bearing housings.

The crankshaft is semi-built, i.e. the parts are either shrunk or welded together. The main bearings are lubricated via a main lubricating oil pipe that branches off to the individual bearings, whereas oil for lubricating the crankpin bearings is supplied from the crossheads through bores in the connecting rods. At the aftmost end of the crankshaft a turning wheel, a thrust collar for the thrust bearing, and a chain wheel for the camshaft drive are fitted. At the foremost end of the crankshaft, a tuning wheel, a torsional vibration damper and a chain wheel drive for the 2nd order moment compensator are installed, if required, according to vibration calculations.
To counteract heavy axial vibrations, and any resultant adverse forces and vibrations, the engine is provided with an axial vibration damper on the foremost end of the crankshaft, see Plate 91211. The damper consists of a piston and a slit-type housing located in front of the foremost main bearing. The piston is made as an integrated collar on the foremost main bearing journal, and the housing is mounted on the foremost main bearing support. The axial movement is damped as a result of the restrictions incorporated in the bores which interconnect the oil-filled chambers on the two sides of the piston. Lubricating oil is supplied to both sides of the piston from the main system.
The thrust bearing serves the purpose of transmitting the axial thrust of the propeller through propeller shaft and intermediate shafts to the ships hull. The thrust bearing is incorporated in the aftmost part of the engine bedplate. The crankshaft is provided with a thrust collar which transmits the thrust to a number of segments mounted in a thrust shoe on either side of the thrust collar. The thrust shoes rest on surfaces in the thrust bearing housing and are held in place by means of stoppers. The segments have white metal cast on the wearing faces against the thrust collar. See also Vol. I, OPERATION, Chapter 708. The thrust bearing is lubricated by the pressure lubrication system of the engine. The oil is supplied between the segments through spray pipes and spray nozzles.

905.02-64
The thrust bearing is provided with alarm, slow-down, and shut-down devices for low lube oil pressure and high segment temperature. See also Vol. I, OPERATION, Chapter 701.
The turning gear is attached to the engine bedplate and is driven by an electric motor incorporating a disc brake. Through a belt drive and a planetary gearing, the motor drives a horizontal shaft equipped with a gear wheel which can be axially displaced by means of a hand wheel, so as to engage with the turning wheel of the engine. The turning gear is provided with a safety arrangement consisting of a lever which must be lifted before the gear wheel of the turning gear can be made to engage with the turning wheel. Immediately this lever is lifted away from the disengaged position, an interlock valve inserted in the starting air system of the engine is actuated. This interlock prevents starting air from being supplied to the engine as long as the turning gear is in the engaged position. See also Vol. I, OPERATION, Chapter 703. When the safety lever is in its bottom position, it prevents the gear wheel of the turning gear from engaging with the turning wheel.
Warning ! During any dismantling of working parts of the engine, the turning gear must be in the engaged position in order to prevent outside forces from turning the engine, thus causing injuries to personnel or damage to the machinery. See Vol. II, MAINTENANCE, DATA pages. The turning gear must be in the disengaged position during pressure testing of starting valves, as a leaky valve may cause the engine to rotate, and damage the turning gear. See Vol. I, OPERATION, Chapter 703.

The camshaft with cams for operating the fuel pumps and exhaust valves is driven from the crankshaft through a chain drive located at the aft end of the engine. The chain drive consists of two identical roller chains running on chain wheels fitted on the crankshaft and the camshaft. The chains are kept tightened by a chain tightener placed in the chain casing between the crankshaft and the camshaft. The long free lengths of the chains are guided by rubber-clad guide bars. Lubricating oil is supplied through spray pipes fitted at the guide bars and chain wheels.
The chain tightener consists of a chain tightener bracket which is pivoted on a shaft pin and a chain wheel. The chain wheel has a shrunk-in bearing bushing and is mounted on a shaft between the side plates of the bracket. The chain tightener is operated by a tightener bolt in the free end of the forked arm for the chain wheel. The tightener bolt extends through a pin that is free to turn in the chain casing.
Caution ! Before the position of the arrow is checked, the engine must be turned into such a position that the chain is slack at the side where the chain tightener wheel is fitted and the flyweights, if any, are hanging vertically downwards so that they will not affect the chain.
Regarding absolute wear of the chains, see Vol. II, MAINTENANCE, Procedure 906.
The camshaft is made in one piece. The camshaft has, for each cylinder: one cam for operation of the fuel pump one cam for the exhaust valve The fuel pump and exhaust valve cams are shrunk on to the shaft by heating. The camshaft rotation constantly follows that of the crankshaft.

Bearings
The camshaft is carried in single-shell (lower shell) bearing assemblies, which are fitted in the roller guide housings between the cam discs for fuel pump and exhaust valve. The bearings are of the thin-shell type. See also Vol. I, OPERATION, Chapter 708. The engine timing is adjusted by forcing lubricating oil in between the cams or chainwheel and the shaft, which enables the parts to be turned in relation to each other. See Volume II, Chapters 906, 908 and 909. After the engine has been testrun, the camshaft parts and the cylinder frame will be provided with pin gauge marks, and the necessary pin gauges are delivered together with the engine, enabling the camshaft timing to be checked and readjusted if the parts have been dismantled. The pin gauges are marked with: engine type engine number position for use the distance in mm between the measuring points. Furthermore, the length of the pin gauges is indicated in the relevant section of the maintenance book (Volume II) for the plant. The starting air distributor is driven from the aftmost end of the camshaft through gear wheels.

Pin gauges
Each cylinder is fitted with an indicator valve, which communicates with the combustion chamber of the cylinder through a bore. The indicator valve is a double-seated valve with a spring-loaded closing face. In order to prevent overstressing, close the valve lightly before starting the engine, and retighten the valve when the engine has reached its normal service temperature.
Note ! See separate instructions, Plate 90612 Item 016, for operating the PMI-system.

4, 5, and 6-cyl. engines have a 2nd order external moment which might excite vibration of the hull and deckhouse. On the basis of calculations, engines featuring these cylinder numbers may be provided with flyweights built into the main chain drive. Flyweights may also be built into a second chain drive, which is driven from the fore end of the crankshaft. This chain drive is equipped with a spring-loaded chain tightener, which may be equipped with a hydraulic damper. Optionally, an electrically driven compensator can be installed outside the engine.
4-cyl. engines may have a rather high 1st order external moment, and can, therefore, be provided with a 1st order moment compensator arranged as adjustable flyweights on the fore and aft ends of the crankshaft. Alternatively, the 1st order moment compensator can be positioned in the main chain drive. This moment compensator consists of a (new) chain-tightener wheel with an incorporated flyweight and a flyweight rotating with the crankshaft.
Caution ! If the chain drives for the above compensators have been dismantled, the flyweights must be positioned correctly in relation to the crankshaft of the engine. See the instruction book, Vol. II, MAINTENANCE. Incorrectly fitted moment compensators may excite heavy vibrations.

The starting air system consists of the manoeuvring system and the starting air components. The following items are described: Manoeuvring System Main Starting Valve Starting Air Distributor Starting Valve See also Vol. I, OPERATION, Chapter 703.
Manoeuvring System
The manoeuvring system is of electric/pneumatic design. It is designed for: Control from engine side control console. See also Chapter 906 Remote control from engine control-room and/or bridge. The system consists of two or three sub-systems: The regulating system The safety system.
Regulating system:
With the regulating system it is possible to start, stop and control the engine. The START and STOP functions are controlled pneumatically. Speed-setting during remote control: During remote control, the speed-setting is controlled by the control handle on the manoeuvring console, which sends a signal to the governor system. The engine speed depends on the magnitude of the signal. The governor system will maintain this speed independently of the engine load. Speed-setting during manual control: During control from the engine side control console, the governor is disconnected from the fuel pumps, and the speed control is effected through the regulating handwheel. See also Vol. I, OPERATION, Chapter 703 and Plate 90620.
When referring to this page, please quote Description 907.01 Edition 103 MAN B&W Diesel A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark
Page 1 (5)
907.02-103
Safety system:
The safety system is separately supplied with air and is controlled by the engine monitoring system (with separate power supply). In the event of shut-down, the safety system leads an air signal to the puncture valve on each fuel pump, thereby cutting off the delivery of high-pressure fuel oil, after which the engine stops. The safety system is connected during all modes of engine control.
The main starting valve is interposed in the starting air main pipe. The main starting valve consists of a large ball valve and, optionally, a smaller ball valve which is fitted as a by-pass for the large valve. Both valves are operated by pneumatic actuators. If the smaller ball valve is installed, an adjusting screw will be mounted for setting the slow-turning speed. Furthermore, a non-return valve is incorporated to prevent blow-back in the event of excessive pressure in the starting air line. The main starting valve is equipped with a blocking device consisting of a plate which, by means of a handwheel, can be made to block the actuators. The ball valves and their actuators are, together with the non-return valve and blocking device, built together to form a unit. On receipt of telegraph order Finished with engine, move the blocking device to the BLOCKED position. To avoid alarm, move the telegraph handle into STOP position.
Warning ! During all inspections of the engine, the blocking device of the main starting valve must be in the BLOCKED position. The only exception is when the starting valves are being tested for tightness, in which case the blocking device of the main starting valve must be in the WORKING position and the shut-off valve for the starting air distributor must be in the CLOSED position. See Vol. I, OPERATION, Chapter 703, Operations after arrival in port.

The ball valve actuators are controlled by pneumatic valves. Start during control from engine side control console: Both the large and the small ball valves open simultaneously. Start during control from control room: If the engine has been stopped for 30 minutes or more, it is advisable to slow-turn the engine. This is done by activating the slow-turning switch on the manoeuvring console, which activates a solenoid valve and prevents the large ball valve from opening. Start during remote control from bridge:
Has the engine been at a standstill for more than 30 minutes ? The small ball valve opens. When the crankshaft has rotated at least one revolution, the large ball valve also opens. This safeguards the engine against damage caused by any liquid in the combustion chamber. No Both valves open simultaneously.
Yes
Setting of Slow-turning During slow-turning, the engine speed can be set by means of the slowturning adjusting screw. The speed should be kept as low as possible, however, so that the engine still runs smoothly.
The starting air distributor is mounted on the aft end of the engine and is driven from the end of the camshaft through gear wheels. The distributor consists of: Distributor disc Housing Shaft and bushing It controls the starting valves 90704.

Distributor disc
Short and long recesses are milled into the contact face of the distributor disc. Through the short recess, starting air is supplied from control air inlet A to each starting air valve in turn. Through the long recess, the starting valves that are not supplied with starting air are vented. Through bores, the long recesses communicates with the central space E and from there leads through bores F, in the distributor housing, to the atmosphere.
Each outlet hole from the distributor housing leads to a starting valve. The shaft rotates in a bushing fitted in a bore placed centrally in the distributor housing. The shaft is driven by the camshaft through gear wheels. The distributor disc is mounted on the other end of the shaft. During running, the distributor disc is kept free of intermediate disc 201 by means of oil pressure: Closest to the distributor disc, the bushing has a larger diameter than at the other end. The oil pressure, which is applied at the centre of the bushing, acts on different shaft diameters and gives a small displacement of the distributor disc.
Functioning
When control air is admitted to the starting air distributor, a control air pressure builds up in space A, causing distributor disc B to be pressed against intermediate disc 201. Control air passes through bores in the distributor disc to the short recess, and further on through bores in intermediate disc 201 and, via bores in the distributor housing, to the starting valve, thus activating the starting valve. The long recess in the distributor disc communicates with the remaining starting valves through the bores in intermediate disc 201 and the distributor housing. The pilot air from the starting valves is vented through these bores and through bores in the distributor disc and the distributor housing to the atmosphere. When the crankshaft starts turning, the distributor disc also turns, thereby moving the short recess from one bore into a position opposite the next bore. Thereby the starting valve which is connected with this bore is supplied with control air, and the starting valve opens. Simultaneously, the long recess in the distributor disc is positioned opposite the bore from the starting valve activated directly before, and the control air of that starting valve is vented, causing the valve to close.

907.05-103
When the start level RPM of the crankshaft has been reached, and the START signal is vented, space A is vented through a pneumatic valve. At the same time the fuel pump puncture valves are vented, causing fuel oil to be injected into the cylinders.
The starting valve (spring-loaded) is fitted on the cylinder cover. It is controlled by control air from the starting air distributor 90703. When the main starting valve is open, chamber P of the starting valve is pressurised through the starting air pipe. The starting valve is kept closed by the spring. When chamber U above the piston of the starting valve is pressurised with control air from the starting air distributor, the starting valve opens, and starting air now flows from the starting air pipe to the cylinder. When the starting period is finished, chamber U is vented through the vent pipe of the starting air distributor, and the starting valve will close. The starting air in chamber P and the starting air pipe are vented slowly through small holes in the starting air pipe.

Exhaust Valve
908.01-86
Each cylinder is equipped with an exhaust valve, which is mounted in a central bore in the cylinder cover. The valve housing is attached with four studs and nuts to form a gas-tight seal against a seat in the cylinder cover. The nuts are designed for tightening with hydraulic tools. The valve housing has an exchangeable bottom piece provided with a hardened, conical seat for the valve spindle. The bore for the valve spindle is provided with an exchangeable spindle guide liner.
Valve housing
Cooling
The valve housing is water cooled, see plate 90810. The cooling water is introduced near the top of the valve housing. The water is discharged from the top of the valve housing. The cooling water outlet from the valve housing incorporates an orifice plate so as to control the cooling water flow through the exhaust valve housing. On the front of the valve housing there is a cleaning cover through which the cooling water space can be checked and cleaned.
Spindle
The valve spindle is made from heat resistant steel with hardfacing metal welded onto the seat. The part of the spindle stem which travels within the sealing arrangement of the air cylinder is coated with a wear resistant mixture of metal carbide and super alloy, applied by the HVOF process. On the lower cylindrical part of the valve spindle a vane wheel is fitted which causes the valve spindle to rotate while the engine is running. Lifting/rotation check rod: To enable checking the functioning of the exhaust valve while the engine is running, a lifting/rotation check rod is mounted on top of the hydraulic cylinder on the exhaust valve. Spindle rotation is indicated by regular changes in the top and bottom positions of the check rod.
Note ! This check rod is only for checking purposes, and must not be permanently activated.

Exhaust Valve
Pistons At the top of the spindle, two pistons are fitted: 1. Air piston The piston serves to close the exhaust valve. The piston is locked to the spindle by a two-piece conical ring. 2. Hydraulic piston The piston serves to open the exhaust valve. The hydraulic piston has two piston rings and a damper arrangement, designed to dampen the closing of the valve.
Caution ! After the exhaust valve has been overhauled, it is important to check the damper, to avoid knocking. This is done with a special bridge gauge. See Vol. II, MAINTENANCE, Procedure 908.
The hydraulic piston is operated through piping which communicates with a corresponding hydraulic piston in the actuating gear above the camshaft. This piston is actuated through the roller guide, by the exhaust cam on the camshaft. Air cylinder The air cylinder is mounted on top of the valve housing. Air for closing the exhaust valve is supplied through a non-return valve to the space below the piston. Two sealing rings are mounted in the bottom of the air cylinder housing. See also Sealing air further on in this Chapter. A safety valve is mounted in the bottom of the cylinder. Hydraulic cylinder The hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the air cylinder on top of the exhaust valve housing with studs and nuts. The exhaust valve is opened by the valve spindle being pressed down by the piston in the hydraulic cylinder. A combined throttle/valve designed for deaerating the oil system is fitted at the top of the cylinder. When the exhaust valve is closed, the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder is low. A thrust spring opens the valve, enabling oil and air, if any, to escape through the throttle.

Exhaust Valve
908.03-86
The oil is led through a duct to the space around the air cylinder and is drained off through a bore X, together with leakage oil from the piston. When the exhaust valve is activated, the high oil pressure closes the valve, and the oil flow stops.
A sealing air arrangement is fitted around the spindle shaft under the bottom of the air cylinder. The sealing air is supplied from the air cylinder and introduced below the sealing rings via a sealing air control unit and a screw 211 provided with a small bore. The sealing air will prevent the exhaust gas and particles from penetrating upwards and wearing out the running surfaces and polluting the pneumatic system of the valve gear. The oil mist content in the air from the air cylinder improves the service condition of the sealing rings. The sealing air control unit contains a valve which automatically cuts off the air flow when the engine is in FINISHED WITH ENGINE status, and a filter housing.
The exhaust valve is actuated by a cam on the camshaft through a hydraulic transmission. A roller guide is kept in contact with the cam by the action of a helical spring which is fixed between the roller guide and the hydraulic cylinder so that the roller of the roller guide will follow the cam on the camshaft. The roller guide is prevented from turning by a key and a keyway.
Hydraulic cylinder
The hydraulic cylinder is attached to the camshaft housing by four studs, two of which are long enough to permit the spring of the roller guide to be gradually relieved during dismantling of the components. A piston enclosed in the hydraulic cylinder rests on a thrust piece in the neck of the roller guide and is locked to the roller guide by a bayonet joint. The hydraulic cylinder on the camshaft housing is connected to the hydraulic cylinder on the exhaust valve by a high-pressure pipe. Oil is supplied from the lubricating oil system through a non-return valve in the top of the hydraulic cylinder. Leakage oil from the hydraulic cylinder on the exhaust valve is drained through a pipe connection to the baseplate of the hydraulic cylinder on the camshaft housing. From there the oil is drained off through a bore to the camshaft housing.

Each engine cylinder is equipped with its own fuel pump, which is mounted on the camshaft housing over the camshaft section corresponding to the cylinder concerned. The square base of the fuel pump housing is provided with a groove to receive any leaking oil, which is subsequently drained off through a drain pipe. In the base, a bore is provided for a toothed rack which controls the quantity of fuel oil delivered by the pump. At the top, the pump housing is closed by a top cover which is attached by means of nuts and studs fitted in the pump housing. The pump barrel is attached to the top cover by means of screws. On the upper side, the top cover is provided with a combined suction/puncture valve. A number of semi-circular shims are inserted between the top cover and the pump housing. By removing or inserting such shims, the pump barrel can be slightly lowered or raised in relation to the plunger, and in this way the initial moment of fuel oil injection into the engine cylinder can be adjusted, and the maximum combustion pressure thus changed. Refer to Volume II, Chapter 909, regarding adjustment of the maximum combustion pressure. The pump barrel and plunger must always go together and cannot be replaced individually. The pump barrel is provided with oil cut-off holes which are covered and uncovered during the travel of the plunger within the barrel. This function, in conjunction with the turning of the plunger effected by the regulating gear, serves to regulate the amount of oil injected into the engine cylinder. Two screw plugs are fitted in the pump housing opposite the cut-off holes of the barrel. The oil jets which are ejected through the cut-off holes at the end of the delivery stroke will hit the screw plugs, which can be replaced when they are eroded. The lower part of the barrel is guided in the bore of the pump housing. Two sets of O-rings and back-up rings are fitted in grooves on the outside of the barrel and the pump cover to seal between pump barrel/pump cover and housing. The pump plunger is provided with a guide block designed to travel in the milled keyway in the regulating guide. At the bottom it has a foot which rests on a steel disc in the bayonet joint at the roller guide neck. A clearance of approx. 0.1 mm between the plunger foot and the roller guide permits turning of the plunger in the roller guide.

The regulating guide is able to turn in the bottom of the pump housing. On the outside the regulating guide has a toothed rim to mesh with the above-mentioned toothed rack at the base of the pump housing. The toothed rim and toothed rack are marked with lines enabling the parts to be positioned correctly after disassembly. The toothed rack is linked together with the regulating gear of the engine through a spring-loaded connection. Thus, in the event of a sticking pump plunger, the regulating gear for the remaining fuel pumps will not be blocked. Puncture valve In the top cover of the pump, a puncture valve is fitted. The puncture valve consists of a piston which communicates with the control air system of the engine. In the event of actuation of the shut-down system, and when STOP is activated, compressed air is supplied to the top of the piston, causing the piston with pin to be pressed downward and keep the suction valve in the open position. This will puncture the oil flow to the fuel valve. As long as the puncture valve is activated, the fuel oil is returned through bores to the pump housing, and no injection takes place. The fuel oil is supplied through the pipe on the front of the pump housing at a pressure of about 8 bar from the electrically driven primary pump. The pressure is kept constant by a by-pass valve (Plate 90915). The oil circulates round the pump barrel, which is thus kept evenly heated. A restriction plug is fitted in the pump housing below the fuel oil inlet, from where a suitable amount of fuel oil is led away. This circulation of warm oil through the pump ensures that the pump can be preheated prior to starting and be kept warm during stop of the engine. The oil passes, in parallel, through the gap between pump housing and barrel, and through the suction valve and the cut-off holes and, via the restriction plug, to the outlet pipe. A shock absorber (Plate 90915) is installed in the main fuel pipe to take up the pressure pulsations.
During the suction stroke, the spring-loaded suction valve opens and the delivery chamber is filled with oil. As soon as the plunger has covered the cut-off holes during its upward movement in the pump barrel, the injection commences through the fuel valves. The injection will last until the cut-off holes are uncovered by the oblique cut-off edges of the plunger, following which the oil is forced through two milled grooves at the side of the plunger and out through the cut-off holes of the barrel during the rest of the delivery stroke. The camshaft housing contains the fuel pump and exhaust valve actuating gear for each cylinder.

909.03-115
The fuel pump is actuated by a cam on the camshaft. The movement is transmitted through the roller guide to the plunger in the barrel of the pump housing which through the high-pressure pipes is connected with the fuel valves on the cylinder cover. The roller guide is forced downwards by the action of two helical springs fixed between the roller guide and the base plate of the pump housing, so that the roller of the roller guide follows the cam on the camshaft. The plunger rests on a thrust piece in the neck of the roller guide and is locked to the roller guide by a bayonet joint. The roller guide itself is prevented from turning by means of a guide block mounted in the liner of the housing. The pump housing is attached to the camshaft housing by four studs. The thread on two of these is long enough to permit the gradual easing of the roller guide spring when dismantling the components. The top of the roller guide neck is located inside the pumpbase and is equipped with a cap which is fitted with a sealing arrangement. This cap, together with a sealing bush that is mounted in the pump base, form a labyrinth to prevent fuel oil from entering the lube oil system. Each fuel pump can be put out of action by means of a manual lifting tool, which can lift the roller guide roller free of the fuel cam. See Volume II, Procedure 909-5.
Fuel Oil HighPressure Pipes Plate 90913 Plate 90914 Fuel Oil Leakage Alarm Plate 90915
All high-pressure pipes in the system are provided with a protective outer pipe. The space between the high-pressure pipe and the protective outer pipe communicates, through bores in the union nipples, with a drain bore in the pump top cover. A fuel oil leakage alarm is required for Unattended Machinery Spaces, UMS. Each fuel pump is, via drain pipes, connected to a common drain tank, which incorporates a level switch. The drain tank is also equipped with an overflow pipe, which has a small drain bore below, whereby oil from small leakages can be drained to the outlet, without actuating the level switch. In the event of pipe fractures or major leakages in the system, the abovementioned bore will not be large enough to allow the increased oil quantity to pass, and the oil level in the drain tank will rise until it reaches the level of the overflow pipe. The rising oil level will cause the level switch to set off an alarm.

The fuel valve consists of a valve head 161, union nut 112, valve body 090, and nozzle 065. Fitted within the valve body are non-return valve 197 with a combined slide/valve, thrust spindle 219 with thrust spring 220, thrust foot 244, and spindle guide complete 077. When the fuel valve is fitted in the cylinder cover, the valve parts are tightened together by the pressure from the nuts being transmitted through valve head, non-return valve, thrust spindle, spindle guide and nozzle to the valve body, which is pressed into the tapered bore in the cylinder cover. The union nut keeps valve head and valve body together during dismantling of the fuel valve. The spindle guide complete 077 consists of spindle guide, thrust piece and spindle with cut-off slide. The spindle guide is assembled with a press fit. The spindle is pressed against the tapered valve seat of spindle guide by the action of the thrust spring 220, the spring pressure being transmitted through the slotted thrust foot 244. The thrust spring determines the opening pressure of the valve. Optionally, an extra disc can be inserted to raise the opening pressure by 30 bar. The non-return valve 197 consists of housing, thrust piece, slide and spring. The non-return valve is assembled with a press fit. The slide is pressed by the spring against the tapered valve seat inside the non-return valve. In this position the head of the slide uncovers a small bore arranged for circulation purposes in the thrust piece.
Functioning
The functioning of the fuel valve is as follows: Position I: The electrical fuel oil circulating pump circulates preheated oil through the fuel pump and fuel valve. In the fuel valve the oil passes through the central bore of the valve head and continues to the thrust piece of the non-return valve, leaving through the circulation bore of the latter. Thence the oil is passed through the interior of the valve body to an outlet pipe on the side of the valve head. The space round the tapered valve seat of the spindle is also filled with oil, but the circulating pump pressure is insufficient to overcome the force of the spring and lift the spindle. If, for some reason, valve spindle 028/041 should not close during engine standstill, then the closed spindle in the non-return valve will prevent the circulating pump from pressing oil through the nozzle, thus obviating the risk of the engine cylinder being filled with oil.

909.05-115
When, at the beginning of the delivery stroke, the pressure has risen to about 10 bar, the force of the spring in the non-return valve will be overcome and the spindle pressed back against the shoulder of the thrust piece. Position III: When the spindle in the non-return valve is pressed upwards, the circulation bore of the thrust piece is closed, and the oil passes the seat of the spindle and enters the space round the valve spindle seat in the spindle guide. When the pressure has risen to the preset opening value of the fuel valve, the spindle is lifted, and oil is forced through the nozzle into the engine cylinder. At the termination of the delivery stroke, first the valve spindle and then the spindle in the non-return valve will be pressed against their respective seats, the injection of fuel stops, and oil is again circulated through the valve (Position I).

Air System
The engine is supplied with scavenge air from one turbocharger mounted at the aft end of the engine. The engine exhaust gas drives the turbine wheel of the turbocharger and, through a common shaft, the turbine wheel drives the compressor wheel. The compressor draws air from the engine room, through the air filters. From the compressor outlet, the air passes through the charging air pipe to the charging air cooler (Plate 91005) where the air is cooled down. The charging air pipe, with compensator, is insulated. The air cooler is designed to separate condensate from the air. See also `Charging Air Cooler` in this Chapter. The air is pressed into the scavenge air receiver through non-return valves mounted in the air cooler housing after the water mist catcher. The non-return valves (flap valves) open by pressure from the turbocharger. From the scavenge air receiver, the air flows to the cylinder through the scavenge air ports when the piston is in the bottom position. When the exhaust valves open, the exhaust gas is pressed into a common exhaust gas receiver (Plate 91003), from where the gas drives the turbine of the turbocharger with an even and steady pressure
The scavenge air receiver is a container having a large volume. The receiver is bolted on to the cylinder frame. Scavenge air is collected in the receiver after the air has passed through the cooler, the water mist catcher and the non-return valves. The receiver and the cylinder frame communicate through large openings. The scavenge air receiver is provided with man-hole covers and a safety valve (Plate 91103) .
The two auxiliary blowers are fitted to the air cooler housing. The suction sides are connected to the space before the non-return valves in the air cooler housing. The discharge sides are connected to the scavenge air receiver via separate non-return valves, in order to prevent reversed air flow. See also item, "Non-return valves", further on. See special instructions supplied by the engine builder.

910.02-75
During the starting of the engine, and when the engine is running at low load, the turbocharger is not able to supply enough air for the engine process. In these cases a pressure switch will automatically start the auxiliary blowers.
Warning ! If the auxiliary blowers do not start during low-load running (because of faults, or because the switch for the blowers is not in AUTO position), unburned fuel oil may accumulate on top of the pistons. This will involve the risk of a scavenge air box fire . In order to avoid such a fire: obtain permission to stop the engine stop the engine remove any unburned fuel oil from the top of the pistons re-establish the supply of scavenge air start the engine Note: the switch for the auxiliary blowers should be in AUTO position during all modes of engine control, i.e.: remote control control from engine side control console.
When the auxiliary blowers are operating, they draw air from the engine room through the turbochargers air filter and compressor side. This enables the turbocharger to maintain a reasonable number of revolutions during starting and at low load. The air passes through the charging air pipe, the charging air cooler and the water mist catcher, to the suction side of the blowers. From the blowers, the air is discharged to the scavenge air receiver via non-return valves. The non-return valves fitted in the air cooler housing after the water mist catcher are now closed as a result of partial vacuum and gravitation acting on the valve flaps. There will be a lack of air supply if the non-return valves do not close.
It is of the utmost importance that the non-return valves of the auxiliary blowers always function correctly and move easily. This can be checked by moving the valves manually, e.g. in connection with the regular scavenge port inspections.

The non-return valves protect the blowers and engine during: Start-up of the auxiliary blowers Running with auxiliary blowers. Starting the auxiliary blowers: 1. Owing to the relatively high starting current, the blowers start in sequence, with 6-10 seconds in between. The non-return valve of the blower that has not yet started must be in the closed position to prevent the blower from rotating backwards. Otherwise, there is a risk that the electric motor will burn out when it starts. 2. If an auxiliary blower fails to start, the non-return valve must be in the closed position. Otherwise, the operating blower will not be able to draw fresh air in through the turbocharger and air cooler. This is due to differences in the air flow resistance. Running with auxiliary blowers: If an auxiliary blower fails during running, the non-return valve must close to ensure the continued supply of fresh air to the engine. See Starting the auxiliary blowers, Item 2, above.
From the exhaust valves, the exhaust gas is led to the exhaust gas receiver where the pulsatory pressure from the individual exhaust valves is equalized and led to the turbocharger at a constant pressure. The exhaust gas receiver is fastened to the seating by flexible supports. Compensators are inserted between the receiver and the exhaust valves, and between the receiver and the turbocharger. Inside the exhaust gas receiver, a protective grating is mounted before the turbocharger. The exhaust gas receiver and the exhaust pipe are insulated. The exhaust receiver may be provided with by-pass flanges for: running without turbocharger unning with ambient intake temperature below 10C
The charging air cooler insert is of the block type. It is mounted in a housing which is welded up of steel plates. The cooler housing is provided with inspection covers.

The cooler is designed with an air reversing chamber which incorporates a water mist catcher. The water mist catcher is built up of a number of lamellas which separate the condensation water from the scavenge air during the passage of the air flow. The separated water is collected in the bottom of the cooler housing from which it is removed by a drain system.
Caution ! It is important to check that the drain functions correctly, as otherwise water droplets may enter the cylinders. See Vol. I Operation, Chapter 706, Cleaning of Turbochargers and Air Coolers.
An alarm device for high water level in the drain system is installed.

Safety Valves, Cylinder Cover Plate 91101 Relief Valves Plate 91102
Each cylinder cover is provided with a spring-loaded safety valve which is set to open at a pressure somewhat higher than the maximum firing pressure in the cylinder. On the exhaust side of the engine a number of spring-loaded relief valves are fitted, which will open in the event of excessive pressure in the crankcase, for instance as a result of the ignition of oil mist.
Warning ! Keep the areas around the relief valves free of oil, grease, etc. to prevent the risk of fire caused by hot air/gas emitted in the event that the relief valves open.
Regarding how to: avoid evaporation of the lubricating oil in the crankcase, detect oil mist in the crankcase using an Oil Mist Detector. see Vol. I, OPERATION, Chapter 704.
Warning ! Do not stand near crankcase doors or relief valves or in corridors near doors to the engine room casing in the event of an alarm for: a) oil mist b) high lube oil temperature c) no piston cooling oil flow, or d) scavenge box fire Alarms b, c and d should be considered as pre-warnings of a possible increasing oil mist level. See also our Service Letter SL97-348/ERO.
Note ! If there has been a crankcase explosion, the complete flame arrester of the relief valves must be replaced.

Safety Equipment
The scavenge air receiver is fitted with a safety valve which is set to open should the pressure in the scavenge air receiver exceed a value somewhat higher than the normal scavenge air pressure of the engine. In some cases it may be necessary to open the valve manually, see Vol. I, Chapter 704, "Turbocharger Surging".
Each starting valve inlet pipe is provided with a safety cap. The safety cap consists of a bursting disc enclosed by a perforated cylinder and a perforated cover in order to protect any bystanders, in the event of a burst. The cover is provided with a check plate, which shows if the bursting disc has been damaged. If the bursting disc of the safety cap is damaged by excessive pressure in the starting air line, overhaul or replace the starting valve which caused the burst, and fit a new disc. If a new disc is not available immediately, turn the cover in relation to the cylinder, in order to reduce the leakage of starting air.
Note ! Fit a new bursting disc and return the cover to the open position at the first opportunity.

The bedplate is made in one section, consisting of two longitudinal girders and a number of cross girders which support the main bearings. The main bearings, which are of the thin-shell type, consist of steel shells, lined with tin-aluminium. Each main bearing has one main bearing cap which is secured by studs and nuts, designed for tightening with hydraulic tools. The aft end of the bedplate incorporates the thrust bearing. See also Chapter 905. At the foremost end of the bedplate, an axial vibration damper is fitted. (Plate 91211). For the design and functioning of the axial vibration damper, see Chapter 905 .
A framebox is bolted on to the top of the bedplate. Like the bedplate, the framebox consists of one section. Together, the bedplate and the framebox constitute the crankcase of the engine. The framebox is fitted with steel-plate doors for access to the crossheads and to the main and crankpin bearings. For each cylinder, the framebox is equipped with a slotted pipe in which the piston cooling oil outlet pipe fitted to the crosshead is able to travel. From the slotted pipe the cooling oil is, through an outlet pipe, led to the oil tray of the bedplate. Equipment for local checking of the cooling oil temperature and flow, and for temperature and flow alarms, is installed in conjunction with the outlet pipe. See also Vol. I, OPERATION, Chapter 701.
The bedplate, the framebox, and the cylinder frame, which rests on top of the framebox, are tightened together to form one unit by means of staybolts, the bottom end of which is screwed into the bedplate. The bedplate of the engine is positioned on supporting chocks and bolted to the engine seating in the ship with long holding-down bolts, which are equipped with distance tubes of cast iron. Plate 91215 shows the holding-down bolts, which have spherical washers and nuts with spherical contact faces on the lower end of the bolts. The contact faces of the topplate for the spherical washers must be plane. The engine is secured in the athwartship direction by side chocks fitted in way of the main bearings. The side-chock liners are tapered 1:100 and are fitted from the aft end on both sides of the engine.
