atmosphere has less than 4.4% methane, an explosion cannot occur even if a source of ignition is
present.
Percentage reading on combustible air monitors should not be confused with the LEL
concentrations. Explosimeters designed and calibrated to a specific gas may show the relative
concentration of the atmosphere to the LEL—the LEL being 100%. A 5% displayed LEL
reading for methane, for example, would be equivalent to 5% multiplied by 4.4%, or
approximately 0.22% methane by volume at 20 degrees C. Control of the explosion hazard is
usually achieved by sufficient natural or mechanical ventilation, to limit the concentration of
flammable gases or vapors to a maximum level of 25% of their lower explosive or flammable
limit.
Highest concentration (percentage) of a gas or a vapour in air capable of producing a flash of fire
in presence of an ignition source (arc, flame, heat). Concentrations higher than UFL or UEL are

the bores during operation of the engine. Provide the water connection flanges with new gaskets,
and keep the cylinder cover ready for replacement.
Piston removal:
Turn the crosshead down far enough to give access to the piston rod stuffing box and the screws
for the piston rod. Release the stuffing box by removing the innermost screws from the stuffing
box flange. Do NOT remove the outermost screws from the flange. Remove the screws from the
piston rod. Mount the two distance pieces on the piston. Carefully smooth out any wear ridges at
the top of the cylinder liner. Make a scratch mark in liner and piston cleaning ring to ensure the
correct mounting.
Remove the piston cleaning ring. Carefully remove any wear ridges at the top of the cylinder
liner. Turn the crosshead towards TDC, while checking that the stuffing box lands correctly on
the distance pieces. Turn to TDC and to guide the stuffing box. The top of the piston is now free
of the cylinder liner. Clean the lifting groove of the piston crown and mount the lifting tool in
such a manner that the two ‘fixed’ claws of the tool fit into the lifting groove of the piston. Fit
the third, adjustable, claw of the tool to the lifting groove and tighten it up against the stop of the
tool. Lift the piston out of the cylinder liner. Lower the piston rod foot and stuffing box through
the opening in the platform. Place the two halves of the support around the piston rod and secure
the two halves with screws. Place a cover over the opening for the piston rod stuffing box in the
bottom of the cylinder unit. Clean, measure and recondition the cylinder liner.
Piston overhaul:
Ease the piston down so that the stuffing box is below the floor. Assemble the two halves of the
piston support around the piston rod and land the piston on the support. Dismount the locking
wire and the innermost screws between the rod and the piston crown. Dismount the locking wire
and screw up the support screws of the piston support to a position just below the piston skirt.
Remove the piston skirt screws. Screw the four screws of the support down- wards until the skirt
rests on the support. It the skirt will not budge, free it by means of two dismantling screws. Lift
away the piston crown. Remove and discard the sealing rings on the piston rod and on the skirt.
Dismount the bolts of the cooling oil pipe flange. Mount the eye bolts and lift out the cooling oil
33
pipe.After inspection of the cooling oil pipe, re-mount the pipe. Thoroughly clean and inspect all
parts of the piston. Replace all sealing rings of the piston. All the new sealing rings must be
coated with lubricating oil before the piston is assembled. Coat all screws with Molybdenum
Disulphide (M082). Assemble the piston in the reverse order to disassembly. Use the guide
screw to ensure the correct positioning ol the piston rod in relation to the piston crown. Tighten
all the screws diagonally to the torque 80Nm. Lock all the screws with locking wire. Mount the
locking wire in such a way that the wire is tightened if one of the screws works loose.
Fill the piston and piston rod with lubricating oil. Mount the pressure-testing tool around the base
of the piston rod. Pressure-test the piston at the pressure 7 bar. Check the contact surfaces of the
piston and the sealing rings for tightness. Check that there are no cracks in the piston crown.
Piston rings:
Ring grooves:
Measure the total clearance between the piston rings and the ring grooves. The total clearance
must not exceed the value
Measurements are to be taken at the top(E) and bottom (F) between the piston ringand piston
ring groove.
Total clearance = E + F.
If possible, measure the depth of the pressure relief grooves with a caliper. The piston rings must
be replaced if the radial depth of the grooves has worn down to less than
It is recommended to change piston rings whenever a piston is removed from the engine. Before
dismantling the piston rings, measure the free ring gap of all the piston rings. Take off the piston
rings by means of the ring expander. Clean and inspect the rings. Measure the radial width of the
rings. Note down the results.
Liner calibration:
Clean the cylinder liner and scavenge air ports. Position the cylinder liner measuring tool.
Measure the cylinder liner with an inside micrometer at the positions indicated on the measuring
tool. See Data. Take measurements in the fore-and-aft and athwart ship directions. Carefully
scratch over any scores or marks on the cylinder liner running surface, and grind away the wear
ridges. Check the lubricating points of the cylinder by pumping cylinder oil to each individual
lubricating point. Clean any blocked lubricating duct.
34
Piston cleaning ring:
Measure the PC ring radial width B, and find the most worn place. Compare with data and
calculate the wear of the PC ring. Multiply the wear by 2 to get the PC ring diameter wear.
Measure the liner in the fore-and-alt and athwart ship directions at piston skirt TDC position,
corresponding to measuring point No. 5 on the liner measuring tool. Compare the measurements
with the diameter of a new liner as stated in data. Calculate the wear of the liner. Compare the
PC ring diameter wear with the wear of the liner. lf wear of the two components does not deviate
more than 0.5mm, then reinstall the PC ring. If the deviation between PC ring wear and liner
wear is more than 0.5, or if the PC ring is broken or cracked, replace the ring with a new PC ring.
When a new liner is installed, also a new PC ring must be installed. When a new liner is ordered,
also a new PC ring must be ordered.
Stuffing box:
Normally, overhaul of the piston rod stuffingbox is carried out by routine methods in connection with
the dismantling (pulling) of the pistons.During such overhauls, the piston rests on a support placed over
one of the cut-outs in the top platform.Work on the stuffing box is then carried out from the platform
below.
Overhaul inside the engine is carried out in the same way as outside the engine .
1. Mount two eye bolts in the stuffing boxflange, and hook on two tackles.Lift the stuffing box a little up
the pistonrod, and mount the worktable round the piston rod at a suitable working height.Land the
stuffing box on the worktable,and remove the tackles and eye bolts.
2. Remove the 0-ring of the stuffing box. If the 0-ring is intact and is to be used again,
move it up the piston rod and secure it inthis position, for example with tape. Remove the nuts from the
stuffing box assembling bolts.
3. Take out the six bolts, and pull away onestuffing box half. 3.Mount two eye bolts on the stuffing box
half and remove it from the worktable. 002-45
5. Remove the remaining stuffing box half and press all sealing rings and scraper rings
6. Measure the clearance between the ring segments to determine whether replacement
is necessary.
Dismantle and stack the rings in the same order as when fitted in the stuffing box.
Carefully clean all the ring segments.Inspect and assess the surface quality of the sealing rings. If their
sliding surfaces have scratches or marks, replace the rings.
35
8. Inspect the surface of the piston rod. If small longitudinal scratches have occurred (caused by poorly
adapted stuffing box rings), smooth the _piston rod surface carefully
with a fine grained carborundum stone. In the case of coarse scratches, it may prove necessary to
machine-grind the surface in a workshop.
1 0. Lubricate the piston rod (in the area where all the ring units in the stuffing box will be positioned)
with molybdenum disulphide (MoS2). For correct mounting of the sealing and scraper rings see the
sketch. The scraper ring in groove no. 4 must be without relief
