Compliance with All tuning options comply with the IMO Tier II regulations for NOx emissions.
IMO Tier II and III For Tier III emission compliance, an exhaust gas treatment is required as de-
scribed in 7.1.2 Selective catalytic reduction, 7-2.
Engine tuning options The following table gives an overview of the available tuning options with their
application and the required engine components. Tuning options need to be
specified at a very early stage of the project.
Data for these tuning options as well as de-rating and part-load performance data
are obtainable from the GTD application.
NOTE The tuning options must be predefined along with any engine order.
LowTV tuning Low torsional vibration tuning (LowTV) can be applied when vibrations arise
see section 1.4.7, 1-11 with 5-, 6-, and 7-cylinder engines (see 6.4 Torsional vibration, 6-11). This
tuning method is combined with the available tuning options listed in Table 1-4.
The following figure shows the BSFC curves for the available tuning options.

BSFC data for Standard tuning are given in Table 1-2, 1-3.
BSFC data for the other tuning options can be obtained from the GTD applica-
tion.
There is a trade-off between BSFC and NO x emissions, where low BSFC results
in high NOx emissions and vice versa. To ensure that IMO regulations are met,
any associated increase in NOx emissions at specific load ranges must be com-
pensated with a reduction in other load ranges.

Waste gate
Engine
NOTE Since the exhaust gas waste gate is controlled by the scavenge air
pressure, the indicated power is an approximation only.
tEaT and tEbE In particular the tEaT (temperature exhaust gas after turbocharger) is approxi-
mately 20 °C higher at 70 % engine power than with Delta tuning. This increase
is principally due to the slowing of the turbocharger. The open waste gate bypass
reduces the mass flow rate of exhaust gas, resulting in a relative reduction of the
scavenge air.
The tEbE (temperature exhaust gas before economiser) is further increased
(about 5 °C) due to the mixing of exhaust gas from the waste gate bypass.
As seen in Figure 1-6, the Delta tuning exhaust gas temperature does not change
from the turbocharger to the economiser, as there isn’t this mixing of additional
bypassed exhaust gas.

Steam production
Increasing the exhaust gas temperature to produce more steam by way of the
economiser is an efficient way of powering on-board steam services and using
waste heat from main engine exhaust gas.
In such condition DBT is the most economical tuning option; see Figure 1-4,
1-7. Within certain engine power ranges it may be possible to run without any
auxiliary boiler.
For the calculation of steam production through economiser the tEbE and the
relevant mass flow shall be considered in the output of GTD application.
Like DBT, LLT must consider engine parameters related to fuel injection and ex-
haust valve control, combining a specifically designed turbocharger system setup
with the use of an exhaust gas waste gate (with a 85 % power switch-point);
see Exhaust gas waste gate, 1-8.
NOTE Since the exhaust gas waste gate is controlled by the scavenge air
pressure, the indicated power is an approximation only.
The higher scavenge air pressure in lower part load results in lower thermal load
and better combustion over the entire part-load range.
The SPC option can be applied to DBT and LLT, as the tuning options are al-
ready equipped with an exhaust waste gate (see Exhaust gas waste gate, 1-8).
Without the SPC this waste gate valve is either open or closed according to a set
engine power percentage. The SPC constantly reacts, restricting the bypass flow
to an optimum level. This is achieved by adjusting the valve according to real
time steam pressure values, enabling the SPC system to maintain a set steam re-
quirement.
Connection to The SPC is connected to and receives inputs from external systems, such as the
external systems exhaust gas economiser and auxiliary boiler control systems. The additional sys-
tems work together with the engine to manage the valve. The system’s automa-
tion and optimisation ensures steam requirement without over production, as
defined by the user. This is true regardless of the engine power (as seen in Figure
1-7), where a minimum steam production requirement is set and maintained
across the engine power range. With the availability of increased steam, the SPC
is more efficient than switching on an auxiliary boiler, with overall fuel and cost
saving.

Changeover between Changing over from one tuning to the other when the engine is in service is a
tuning regimes long-term consideration, since the following modifications are to be carried out
on the engine:
• Installation/removal of blind flange for exhaust gas bypass (not needed for
DBT and LLT)
An engine cannot be operated with both tuning regimes at the same time, as
switching from one tuning to the other when the engine is in operation is not in
accordance with the IMO MARPOL Annex VI NO x regulation. Since for NOx
certification the Technical Files and EIAPP certificates will be approved sepa-
rately for each tuning, the NOx emissions need to be measured on the testbed for
both tuning regimes.
Considerations to be The following must be considered before ordering an engine with dual tuning:
made when choosing
dual tuning
• GTD ancillary system data must be selected for the tuning with higher re-
quirements concerning pump and cooler capacity.
• The torsional vibration calculation (TVC) must be carried out for both tun-
ings. However, only the calculation for the tuning showing worse torsional
stresses in the shafting shall be submitted for Class approval.
• The engine interface drawings must correspond to the tuning method with
exhaust gas bypass (LLT or DBT).
• The sea trial programme (engine related tests) must be discussed with the
shipyard. It should be defined beforehand with which tuning the speed trial
of the vessel is to be performed.

2.2.1 Introduction
It is critical that a ship’s propulsion system is correctly matching the main engine
characteristics to ensure reliable operation in a variety of conditions including
design and off design situations. The below sections outline the specifics to aid in

The contracted maximum continuous rating (Rx) may be
freely positioned within the rating field for that engine SM-0079
The rating field serves to determine the specific fuel consumption, exhaust gas
flow and temperature, fuel injection parameters, turbocharger and scavenge air
cooler specifications at the selected rating.
Percentage values The engine speed is given on the horizontal axis and the engine power on the ver-
tical axis of the rating field. Both are expressed as a percentage [%] of the respec-
tive engine’s nominal R1 parameters. Percentage values are being used so that
the same diagram can be applied to various engine arrangements.
Rating points
The rating points (R1, R2, R3, R4) for WinGD engines are the corner points of
the engine rating field (Figure 2-1, 2-2). The rating field is limited by two con-
stant MEP (mean effective pressure) lines R1 — R3 and R2 — R4 and by two con-
stant engine speed lines R1 — R2 and R3— R4.
Any rating point (Rx) can be selected within the entire rating field to meet the re-
quirements of each particular project. Such rating points require specific engine
adaptations.

where:
Maximum propeller The maximum propeller diameter is often determined by operational require-
diameter ments, such as:
• Design draught and ballast draught limitations
• Class recommendations concerning propeller/hull clearance (pressure im-

The selection of a main engine in combination with the optimum propeller (effi-
ciency) is an iterative procedure where also commercial considerations (engine
and propeller prices) are playing an important role.
Determining power/pro- Normally, the curves can be determined by using full-scale trial results from sim-

results. With this information and by applying propeller series, the power/speed
relationships can be established and characteristics developed.
The relation between absorbed power and propeller speed for a fixed pitch pro-
peller (FPP) can be approximated by the following cubic relation:

mined. For detailed descriptions of the various line limits refer to section 2.2.5,

The location of reference point A and the magnitude of the sea margin are part of
the new building contract and are determined between shipbuilder and owner.
Typically, the sea margin is specified in the range of 10 to 25 % of the sea trial
power.

The area formed by Lines 1, 3, 5 and 9 is the range within which the engine
should be operated.
The area limited by Line 7, Line 9 and Line 3 is recommended for continuous op-
eration.
The area between Line 7 and Line 5 is reserved for acceleration, shallow water
and normal operational flexibility. If a main-engine driven generator (PTO) is in-
stalled, then the operating characteristics of the engine will differ. Refer to sec-
tion 2.2.6, 2-10 for further details regarding PTO characteristics.
Overload Power Range Line 6, Line 2 and Line 13 form the curve for the engine’s overload power limit,
as defined by Formula 2-5. Each component is governed by different coefficients
as seen in Table 2-2.
The area above Lines 1 and 9 is the overload range. It is only allowed to operate
engines in that range for a maximum duration of one hour in diesel mode, during
sea trials in the presence of authorised representatives of the engine builder.
The area between Lines 1, 5 and 6 (Figure 2-3, 2-7), called ‘service range with
operational time limit’, is only applicable to transient conditions in diesel mode,
i.e. sea trial or during emergency fast acceleration. The engine can only be oper-
ated in this area for limited periods of time, in particular 1 hour per 24 hours.
2.2.6 Power range limits with main-engine driven generator for FPP
The addition of a main-engine driven generator (PTO) alters the working range
and operating characteristics of the engine. Two methods of incorporating the
PTO are outlined in the following sections. WinGD recommend to follow
Method 1.
PTO considerations • The PTO is used for generating the navigation electric power.
• The PTO is connected with frequency converter system.
• The PTO is not engaged in heavy sea conditions.
• Mechanical power absorption of the PTO must be considered.
CMCR - Method 1 This first method considers the PTO as an addition to the previously defined pro-
peller power requirements, therefore increasing the CMCR of the engine.

Figure 2-4 Power range diagram of an engine with main-engine driven generator
Line 7a in Figure 2-4 shows the power needed for the propeller, where Line 7b
shows the power needed for the propeller combined with a constant power re-
quirement from the main-engine driven generator, the PTO .
With the addition of a constant nominal generator power across the engine load
range, the engine curve is optimised, so no longer directly related to a propeller
characteristic. In the example of Figure 2-4, 2-10, the main-engine driven gen-
erator is assumed to absorb 15 % of nominal engine power. The CSR point in-
cludes the PTO power demand, this is shown in Figure 2-4, 2-10 between
points B’ and B. The CMCR point is selected from this propeller curve. This
curve defines the nominal engine characteristic.
This approach allows for practical and flexible PTO operation, only limited in
the lower engine speed range by the PTO required minimum speed (as defined by
the PTO device supplier) and the PTO layout limit Line 10 (only relevant if a sig-
nificant percentage of the installed engine power is utilised for PTO).
Line 10 The PTO layout limit line (Line 10 in Figure 2-5) defines the power limit for the
PTO Layout Limit resulting combination of the propeller and PTO.
Considering Line 10 as PTO layout limit provides a margin for normal power
load fluctuation and acceleration.

The breakpoints of Line 10 are listed in Figure 2-5. Line 10 is a curve defined by
Formula 2-5, 2-9. The different components have a different coefficient,
forming the entire curve. Refer to Table 2-3 for the individual coefficients.
CMCR - Method 2 With this second method, the engine’s CMCR is determined by the propeller
power only. The PTO uses the available engine power that isn’t absorbed by the
propeller.
As seen in Figure 2-6, the available power for PTO application is between Line 8
and Line 10. Therefore, the available PTO power depends on the available Light
Running margin at the current time.

The PTO power must be controlled by the Ship Power Management System,
which ensures that the engine operating point will not exceed Line 10.
• With the reduction of the LR margin (as a consequence of the ageing hull
and propeller) the available PTO power will be reduced and must be limited
by the Ship Power Management System.
• The PTO is typically engaged between approx. 60 % - 96.5 % of engine
speed. Final lower limit must be defined with the supplier of the generator.
Final upper limit must be set to the project related CSR engine speed.
• Operation above the engine characteristic Line 7 can lead to increased DCC
activation.
If the requested PTO power is higher than the limits defined by Method 2, an in-
crease in CMCR power is necessary.

As seen in Figure 2-7, 2-13, the prohibited operation area of an engine is de-
fined by an engine tuned to an R1 — R2 speed. At this speed rating the restriction
exists between 70 % and 100% speed, with a required minimum engine power at
these points of 12.7 % and 37 % respectively. These values are governed by the
Formula 2-6 for Line 11.
If the CMCR speed rating of the engine is less than the R1 — R2 speed, the re-
quired minimum power at this point is also calculated by the Line 11 equation.
Line 11 The lowest operational power limit, between 70 % of R1 — R2 speed and 100 %
CMCR speed, is defined with the following equation:

Line 12 While operating at 100 % CMCR speed, the allowed engine power can range be-
tween the minimum required power (point F) and 100 % CMCR power.
Field A The available design range of the engine is defined by Line 7, Line 11 and Line
12.
For test purposes (e.g. for shaft generator adjustment), the engine may run at low
load, within the prohibited area. This is for a maximum time period of 30 min-
utes during testing and sea trials, and only in the presence of authorised repre-
sentatives of the engine builder. Further requests must be agreed by WinGD.

prohibited area operation area, an alarm must be provided in either the ME safety system or the
vessel’s Alarm and Monitoring System.
If the engine is operated for more than 5 minutes in the prohibited operation area,
then the speed must be reduced below 116 rpm.
Engine performance data The GTD application allows calculation of the performance data (BSEC, BSEF,
tEaT, etc.) for any engine power.

GTD output Beside the output of characteristic parameters in the whole rating field of an en-
gine, the GTD application delivers data on the capacities of coolers, pumps,
starting air bottles and air compressors. It also provides information on engine
radiation, on the power requirement for ancillary systems, and outputs data suit-
able for estimating the size of ancillary equipment.
Furthermore, data about the available components and options depending on
specification and engine rating can be output. In addition to the standard output
for ISO reference and design conditions, further operating conditions for which
information is required can be defined.

Important! • The minimum sizes are to be taken into account when installing the engine.
Special attention is to be given to the minimum distance between the ship’s
platform and the lower engine platform, to ensure sufficient headroom (see
Figure 3-3).
• No dead ends may be created on the platforms by shipboard installations. If
a dead end cannot be avoided, then a passage leading to the ship’s platform
has to be cleared before the dead end (distance from dead end: max.
2,000 mm).
3.4 Seating
Engine seating is integral with the double-bottom structure and has to be of suf-
ficient strength to support the weight of the engine, transmit the propeller thrust
and withstand external couples and stresses related to propeller and engine reso-
nance.
• Before any seating work can be performed, make sure the engine is aligned
with the intermediate propeller shaft.
• The longitudinal beams situated under the engine are to protrude from the
engine room bulkhead by at least half the length of the engine, and aft as far
as possible.
• The maximum allowable rake is 3 ° to the horizontal.
More details about engine seating can be found in the relevant Fitting Instruc-
tion (DG 9710) on the WinGD corporate webpage under the following link:

the calculated figures.
• Place the bearing caps in position and install the turning gear.
• Ensure that the crankshaft deflections are as recorded in the ‘Engine As-
sembly Records’.
• Check the bedplate level in longitudinal and diagonal directions with a taut-
wire measuring device provided by the engine builder.
• Compare the readings with those recorded at works.
NOTE The process of using jacking screws and wedges is defined in MIDS

3.7.1 Design
The design of coupling bolts and holes for the flange connection of crankshaft /
propulsion shafts as provided by design group 3114 is included in the engine de-
sign approval by all major classification societies.
3.7.3 Tightening
• When tightening the coupling bolts it is essential to work methodically. Per-
form crosswise tightening, taking up the threads on opposite bolts to hand-
tight, followed by sequential torque tightening. Finally ensure the same
proper tightening for all bolts.
• Mark each bolt head in turn (1, 2, 3, etc.) and tighten opposite nuts in turn
according to the Tightening Instructions, making sure that the bolt head is
securely held and unable to rotate with the nut.
• Lock castellated nuts according to Class requirements with either locking
wires or split pins. Use feeler gauges during the tightening process to ensure
that the coupling faces are properly mated with no clearance.

Tracking or leakage currents are created in machinery by any of the above means
and — if they are not adequately directed to earth — can lead to component fail-
ures, or in some cases result in fires and interference with control and monitoring
instrumentation.
Isolation of Ensure that instrument wiring meets the building and classification society spec-
instrument wiring ifications and that it is shielded and isolated to prevent induced signal errors and
short circuits.
In certain cases large items of machinery are isolated from their foundations, and
couplings are isolated to prevent current flow, for instance when electric motors
are connected to a common gear box.

Where fire protection is required, the final arrangement of the fire extinguishing
system is to be submitted for approval to the relevant classification society.
Extinguishing agents Various extinguishing agents can be considered for fire fighting purposes. They
are selected either by the shipbuilder or the ship owner in compliance with the
rules of the classification society involved.

to be installed at each entry to the engine and assurance obtained that
steam shut-off valves are tight when not in use.
4 Ancillary Systems
Sizing the ancillary systems of the engine, i.e. for freshwater cooling, lubricating
oil, fuel oil, etc., depends on the contracted maximum engine power. If the ex-
pected system design is out of the scope of this manual, then contact our repre-
sentative or WinGD directly.
The GTD application provides data for estimating the size of ancillary equipment
and enables all engine and system data at any Rx rating within the engine rating
field to be obtained. However, for convenience or final confirmation when opti-
mising the plant, WinGD provide a computerised calculation service.
All pipework systems All pipework systems and fittings are to conform to the requirements laid down
to be flushed and by the legislative council of the vessel’s country of registration and the classifica-
proved clean before

Freshwater cooling As the main engine cooling system uses freshwater as cooling medium it is inte-
system grated in the ship’s central freshwater cooling system.
Advantage of freshwater Freshwater cooling systems reduce the amount of seawater pipework and its as-
over seawater sociated problems like scaling and corrosion. Freshwater provides for more effi-
cient cooling as it allows a higher heat load than seawater, i.e. freshwater can be
heated up to a higher temperature level and, along with a lower flow rate, allows
the same cooling effect to be obtained. Thereby the overall running costs are re-
duced.
Interfacing of LT and The cooling system for the engine comprises a low-temperature (LT) and a
HT cooling circuits high-temperature (HT) circuit. There are two interface options for the transfer of
heat from the HT circuit to the LT circuit (refer to Figure 4-3):
freshwater LT in (freshwater)
SM-0067
NOTE For detailed cooling design and the necessary data for this arrange-
ment please refer to MIDS and GTD respectively.
Setting of automatic For the main engine SAC, the set-point of the automatic temperature control
temperature control valve valve can be between 10 and 36 °C. Low cooling water temperature results in low
for cooling water
scavenge air temperature and consequently low BSFC and BSEC. Therefore,
WinGD recommend a set-point of 25 °C.
In cold seawater, the automatic temperature control valve restricts the flow to the
seawater and its cooling effect to maintain the freshwater at the set temperature.
If the seawater is warmer, it may be unable to reduce the freshwater to this set
temperature, even when the automatic temperature control valve is fully open. In
such cases, the freshwater will be cooled down to a temperature 4 °C above that
of seawater, for example, to 36 °C when the seawater temperature is 32 °C.

a) As a guide, the minimum advisable curve steepness can be defined as follows:
For a pressure increase from 100 to 107 %, the pump capacity should not decrease by more than
10 %.
* If an expansion tank is used, pst equals the static pressure head from the change in height between
expansion tank and pump inlet.
If a buffer unit is used, pst equals the buffer unit pressure plus the pressure head from the change
in height between buffer unit and pump inlet.
To supply the cooling water system with the desired static pressure and compen-
sate for the cooling water volume change during engine operation, WinGD pro-
pose two possible solutions, namely installing either an expansion tank or a
buffer unit.
Expansion tank To ensure that the required static head is applied to the cylinder cooling water
(CCW) system, the expansion tank is to be fitted at least 3.5 m above the highest
point of the engine’s cooling water piping. The tank is to be connected by a bal-
ance pipe to the CCW pump suction.
Buffer unit The installation of a buffer unit is an alternative solution. The buffer unit has the
advantage of variable static pressure settings and location flexibility. However, it
does require an additional water supply pump.
• Control air shut-off valve (DN15), solenoid type, controlled by the signal
from level switch low (LSL). This valve is normally open but to be shut off
when the signal from LSL is triggered and water feeding is started.
• Control air pressure regulating valve (DN15), with pressure reduction and
air release function. This valve reduces the control air pressure to the de-
sired buffer unit pressure. It enables air to be released to maintain the pres-
sure when the buffer unit water volume is increasing (refill or water
expansion). The pressure setting of the buffer unit is targeted to ensure that
the cooling water pressure at ME fulfils the WinGD specification require-
ment.
• Safety valve (DN32), to be set at approximately 0.5 bar above the buffer
unit set pressure.
Buffer unit supply pump The buffer unit supply pump compensates for losses in the CCW system. This
pump is automatically controlled by the water level in the buffer unit.
It is also advisable to monitor the running period of the supply pump. Moni-
toring of the pump running period will warn when the running period exceeds a
pre-set value, indicating unusual water losses in the system. Spare parts for the
supply pump must be available according to classification societies' require-
ments.
Automatic
temperature control valve
Valve type Electrically or electro-pneumatically actuated three-way type
(butterfly valves are not adequate) having a linear characteristic
Corrosion inhibitors In addition, the water used must be treated with a suitable corrosion inhibitor to
prevent corrosive attack, sludge formation and scale deposits. (For details refer
to the chemical supply companies.) Monitoring the level of the corrosion inhib-
itor and water softness is essential to prevent down-times due to component fail-
ures resulting from corrosion or impaired heat transfer.
For further information about permissible cooling water additives please refer to
the document Cooling water and additives, which is provided on the WinGD
corporate webpage under the following link:
Cooling water and additives
• Valves are to be locked in the set position and labelled to eliminate incorrect
handling.
• Under normal operation of the cylinder cooling water system, the pump de-
livery head and the total flow rate are to remain constant, even when the
freshwater generator is started up or shut down.
• The cylinder cooling water system is to be totally separated from steam sys-
tems. Under no circumstances must there be any possibility of steam en-
tering the cylinder cooling water system, e.g. via a freshwater generator.
• The design pressure and temperature of all the component parts such as
pipes, valves, expansion tank, fittings, etc. are to meet the requirements of
the classification society.
NOTE It is crucial in the design stage to ensure that there are sufficient safe-
guards to protect the main engine from thermal shock when the fresh-
water generator is started.
To reduce such risk, it will be of advantage to use valves (for instance
butterfly valves), which are linked and actuated with a large reduction
ratio, at the freshwater generator inlet and in the bypass line.

4.2.6 Pre-heating
To prevent corrosive liner wear when not in service or during short stays in port,
it is important that the ME is kept warm. Warming-through can be provided by
a dedicated heater, using boiler raised steam or hot water from the diesel auxilia-
ries, or by direct circulation from the diesel auxiliaries.
Use of separate If the requirement is for a separate pre-heating pump, a small unit with 10 % of
pre-heating pump the main pump capacity and an additional non-return valve between CCW pump
and heater are to be installed. In addition, the pumps are to be electrically inter-
locked to prevent two pumps running at the same time.
Recommended The recommended temperature to start and operate the engine is 60 °C at CCW
temperature outlet. If the engine is started below the recommended temperature, engine
power must not exceed 80 % of CMCR until the water temperature has reached
60 °C.
The ambient engine room temperature and warm-up time are key parameters to
estimate the heater power capacity required to achieve the target temperature of
60 °C. The shipyard or ship designer should determine the ambient engine room
temperature and the warm-up time (which may also be specified by the ship
owner) on the basis of their own experience.
Warm-up time The graph in Figure 4-6, 4-15 shows the warm-up time needed in relation to
the ambient engine room temperature to arrive at the heat amount required per
cylinder. The graph covers the warming-up of engine components per cylinder,
taking also the radiation heat into account.
The readable figure is then multiplied by the number of cylinders to show the
heater capacity required for the engine.

tion the shipyard or ship designer must also consider further aspects such as heat
losses in the external piping system, water volume inside the system, pipe
lengths, volume of ancillary equipment, etc.

The output required for the main lubricating oil pump to ‘back-flush’ the filter
without interrupting the flow is to be taken into account when estimating the
pump capacity (see Lubricating oil pump, 4-17).
System oil
The pistons of the WinGD X35-B engine feature highly efficient jet-shaker oil
cooling. The crankcase oils used as system oil are specified as follows:
• SAE 30
• Minimum BN of 5.0 mg KOH/g and detergent properties
• Load carrying performance in FZG gear machine test method A/8, 3/90
according to ISO 14635-1, failure load stage 11 as a minimum 1)
• Good thermal stability
• Antifoam properties
• Good demulsifying performance
1) The FZG gear machines located at the FZG Institute, Munich/Germany shall be the
reference test apparatus and will be used in the event of any uncertainty about test re-
peatability and reproducibility.
Cylinder oil For normal operating conditions, a high-alkaline marine cylinder oil of SAE 50
viscosity grade with a minimum kinematic viscosity of 18.5 cSt (mm2/s) at
100 °C is recommended. The alkalinity of the oil is indicated by its Base Number
(BN) 1).
Recommended The following values are recommended when operating on fuel with a sulphur
residual BN content in the range of 0.5 to 3.5 % m/m:
• The safe piston underside residual BN to avoid piston ring and liner corro-
sion is higher than 25 mg KOH/g but lower than 50 mg KOH/g
• The alert limit for piston underside residual BN to avoid excessive corro-
sion is between 10 and 25 mg KOH/g
Base number of The base number (BN) of the cylinder lubricating oil must be selected depending
cylinder lubricating oil on the total sulphur content of the fuel burnt. The higher the sulphur content in
the fuel, the higher BN for cylinder lubricating oil is required.
Consequently, for low-sulphur fuel operation, low BN cylinder lubricating oil
needs to be supplied, whereas high BN cylinder lubricating oil is required when
the engine is running on HFO.
Alternatives to finished The cylinder lubricating oil can also be blended/mixed on board. Multiple con-
cylinder oils cepts for blending/mixing cylinder oil on board are available.
The validated additives and oils which can be used for this purpose can be found
in the document Lubricants, which is provided on the WinGD corporate web-
page under the following link:
Lubricants
For additional information please contact the oil supplier.
Another solution to have the needed BN value available is to mix lubricating oils
of different BN values.
Oil separator
Rated separator capacity The rated or nominal capacity of the separator is to be ac-
cording to the separator manufacturer’s recommendations.
Oil samples To ensure that representative samples of lubricating oil can be taken, dedicated
sampling points (cocks) are provided on engine side. Such cocks need also to be
installed on system side according to the relevant system proposal drawing in
MIDS.
The drain tank is to be located beneath the engine and equipped with the fol-
lowing:
NOTE The classification societies require that all drain pipes from the crank-
case to the drain tank are taken as low as possible below the free sur-
face of the oil to prevent aeration and foaming; they have to remain
below the oil surface at all times.
Strict attention has to be paid to this specification.

Fuel consumption Data of fuel consumption should be taken from the project-specific GTD data
sheet.
Delivery pressure The feed pump must provide a required pressure in the downstream
mixing unit to prevent water in the system from vaporising into
steam. The pump, whilst considering system pressure drop, must
provide a minimum of 1 bar above the water vapour pressure and al-
ways be above a 3 bar value. The water vapour pressure is a result
of the system temperature and pressure for a given fuel type.
Heavier oils need more heat and higher temperatures to maintain
them at the correct viscosity compared to lighter oils.
(Refer to the formula and example below.)
Electric motor The electric motor driving the fuel oil feed pump shall be sized for
the maximum pressure head (difference between inlet and outlet
pressure), maximum fuel oil viscosity (100cSt), and the maximum
required flow.
Fuel oil viscosity Depending on the fuel oil system’s heat control, viscosity at working
temperature will often differ. It will not be more than 100 cSt, how-
ever can be considerably less (as low as 2 cSt with lower viscosity
fuel like MDO/MGO or possibly LSHFO, see viscosity-temperature
diagram - Figure 4-15, 4-43).
The manufacturer's specification must comply with the fuel viscosity
range. For system options with additional temperature regulation,
see Concept Guidance Distillate Fuels.
pv .............. = water vapour gauge pressure at the required system temp. [bar]
(see viscosity-temperature diagram in section 4.4.6, 4-43)
p1 ........... = max. pressure losses between feed pumps and mixing unit [bar]
p2 ........... = max. pressure change difference across the pressure regulating
valve of the feed system between min. and max. flow
(see Pressure regulating valve, 4-30)
Example HFO of 700 cSt at 50 °C, required system temperature 145 °C:
The pressure regulating valve should have a flat steady-state characteristic across
the fuel oil recirculation flow range.
Inlet pressure change The inlet pressure may vary by up to 0.8 bar depending on
the flow in the range of 20% to 100%.
Fuel oil viscosity Depending on the fuel oil system’s heat control, viscosity at
working temperature will often differ. It will not be more than
100cSt, however can be considerably less (as low as 2 cSt
with lower viscosity fuel like MDO/MGO or possibly LSHFO,
see viscosity-temperature diagram - Figure 4-15, 4-43).
The manufacturer's specification must comply with the fuel
viscosity range. For system options with additional tempera-
ture regulation, see Concept Guidance Distillate Fuels.
Mixing unit
The mixing unit equalises the temperature between the hotter fuel oil returning
from the engine and the colder fuel oil from the service tank. The temperature
difference between these sources is particularly high when changing over from
HFO to MDO/MGO and vice versa.
For changing over between heavy fuel oil and marine diesel oil (MDO/MGO)
and vice versa, as well as for operation on distillate fuel, refer to the separate
Concept Guidance (DG 9723), which is provided on the WinGD corporate web-
page under the following link:

Electric motor The electric motor driving the HP booster pump shall be
sized large enough for the power absorbed by the pump at
maximum pressure head (difference between inlet and outlet
pressure), maximum fuel oil viscosity (70 cSt), and the re-
quired flow.
End-heater
Operation is regulated with either the temperature or the viscosity (default mode)
of the fuel oil. The viscosity is measured by the viscometer.
Type Tubular or plate type heat exchanger, suitable for heavy oils
up to 700cSt at 50 °C (or as project is defined)
Viscometer
The viscometer regulates the fuel oil end-heater, enabling the fuel oil viscosity to
be kept at preferable engine conditions. When using HFO/LSHFO the ideal is
13-17 cSt, and between 10-20 cSt is acceptable. Although there is no active
cooling required to keep the minimum limit of 10 cSt, the absolute minimum vis-
cosity is 2 cSt.
When using low-viscosity fuels, the end-heater must not be active and the
MDO/MGO heat exchangers will be required to maintain these limits.
A chiller unit (cooling from refrigeration) is not required if the fuel properties are
in line with the latest ISO 8217:2017 specification. Such a unit would only be
needed for off-spec fuels that are not supported by WinGD.

Filtration grading The grade of filter mesh is relative to the size of particles it captures, however,
there are different ratings for filtration efficiencies and the rating parameters vary
among manufacturers.
For simplicity, it is assumed that particles are spherical, therefore the size is de-
fined by an equivalent diameter. A filter’s grading size is associated with this
equivalent diameter but can vary depending on whether an absolute or nominal
grading system is used.

Duplex filter The second filter in Arrangement ‘A’ is a duplex filter of recommended max-
imum 25 m abs. A coarser filter is also acceptable. The duplex filter is of manual
cleaning type and is installed in the booster system close to engine inlet. This
filter type is sufficient as most particles are already removed by the 10 m filter as
outlined in Option 1, 4-36 and Option 2, 4-37.

Settling tanks
Gravitational settling of water and sediment from modern heavy fuel oils is an
extremely slow process due to the small difference in densities. The time required
for the settling to occur depends on the depth of the tank, as well as on the vis-
cosity, temperature and density difference. Tanks that are shallower with a wider
diameter enable better separation than thinner, taller tanks.
Further design features consider a level monitoring device and remote closing
discharge valves to the separator(s) and engine systems, a connection to an over-
flow tank, and a self-closing cock just above the bottom of the tank for removal of
the sludge and water.
Service tanks
Most of the service tank design features are similar to the settling tanks, however,
there is no direct connection to the overflow tank. Instead a recirculating line,
with an inlet just above the bottom of the service tank, leads back to the settling
tanks.
Diesel oil service tanks are similar to heavy oil service tanks, with the possible
exception of tank heating, although this may be incorporated for vessels con-
stantly trading in cold climates.
Water in fuel Due to condensation or heating coil leakage, water may be present in the fuel
after the separators. This can be manually removed by a self-closing cock. In ad-
dition, the recirculation connection close to the bottom of the tank ensures that
contaminated fuel is recirculated to the settling tank.
Cleaning of fuel The fuel is cleaned from the settling tank to the service tank. Ideally, when the
main engine is operating at CMCR, the fuel oil separator(s) should be able to
maintain a continual overflow from the service tank to the settling tank. The
cock, used to remove sludge and water, is to be operated at regular intervals to
observe the presence of water, a significant indication for the condition of the
separator(s) and heating coils.
NOTE Separators with gravity discs represent outdated technology and are
therefore not supported by WinGD.
Separators without These separators are self-adjusting to the fuel properties and self-cleaning. Sep-
gravity discs arators without gravity discs operate as combined purifiers-clarifiers; thus water
and sediment separation is integrated in one unit. The manufacturers claim ex-
tended periods between overhaul. Compared to the outdated separators with
gravity discs, the reliability is greatly improved, enabling unattended onboard
operation. As it is usual to install a standby separator as a back-up, it is of advan-
tage to use both units in parallel to improve the separation result.
For further details and information regarding the separators please refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Separation efficiency The separation efficiency is a measure of the separator's capability to remove
specified test particles. The separation efficiency is defined as follows:
æ C ö÷
n = 100 ⋅ ççç1 - out ÷÷
çè C in ø÷
where:
Certified Flow Rate To express the performance of separators according to a common standard, the
term Certified Flow Rate (CFR) has been introduced. CFR is defined as the flow
rate in litres/hour, 30 minutes after sludge discharge, at which the separation ef-
ficiency is 85 % when using defined test oils and test particles. CFR is defined for
equivalent fuel oil viscosities of 380 and 700 cSt at 50 °C.
More information can be found in the CEN document CWA 15375:2005 (E) of
the European Committee for Standardization.
Throughput capacity The required minimum effective throughput capacity (litres/hour) of the separa-
tors is determined by the formula 1.2 • CMCR • BSFC • 10-3 [litres/hour] as shown
in the following example. The nominal separator capacity and the installation
are to comply with the recommendations of the separator manufacturer.
(The MDO separator capacity can be estimated using the same formula.)
Oil samples To ensure that representative samples of fuel oil can be taken, dedicated sam-
pling points (cocks) are provided on engine side. Such cocks need also to be in-
stalled on system side according to the relevant system proposal drawing in
MIDS.
Fuel changeover For changing over from one fuel type to the other it was common to have a
simple, manually operated three-way valve. This arrangement is not recom-
mended any longer, as with the introduction of different Emission Control Areas
(ECA), fuel changeover is quite frequently required, even at high engine load.
(In the past it was needed in rare cases only, for instance due to maintenance or
before stopping the engine, i.e. at relatively low loads.)

compressors is to be as clean as possible without oil vapour.
Type Fabricated steel pressure vessels with domed ends and inte-
grated pipe fittings for isolating valves, automatic drain valves,

Control air system supply Control air is supplied from the board instrument air supply system (see Figure
4-16, 4-44) providing air at 8 bar gauge pressure (within a range of 7.0-9.0 bar).
The air quality should comply with the compressed air purity class 2-4-2 ac-
cording to ISO 8573-1 (2010-04-15).
Control air consumption With the development of engine technology the WinGD RT-flex and X/X-DF
engines consume much less control air than conventional engines. The required
control air flow capacities are shown in Table 4-9. These data can be used for
sizing the relevant engine external piping and facilities.
Sludge oil trap Dirty oil collected from the piston underside is led under a pressure of approx.
2.8 bar to the sludge oil trap and then to the sludge oil tank.
The purpose of the sludge oil trap (see Figure 4-17) is to retain the large amount
of solid parts contained in dirty oil and to reduce the pressure by means of an or-
ifice or throttling disc fitted at its outlet, so that the sludge oil tank is under at-
mospheric pressure.
Design and dimensions of the sludge oil trap are given in the MIDS.

From the piston rod stuffing box, dirty oil consisting of waste system oil, cylinder
oil, metallic particles and small amounts of combustion products is led directly to
the sludge oil tank.
Condensate from scavenge air is formed when the vessel is operating in a humid
climate. To avoid excessive piston ring and liner wear, the condensate is to be
continually drained from the scavenge air receiver.

Calculation methods for combustion air flow requirements and for avoiding ex-
cessive heating of the machinery spaces are provided in the international
standard ISO 8861 ‘Shipbuilding — Engine-room ventilation in diesel-engined
ships — Design requirements and basis of calculations’.
The engine’s combustion air is considered, and typically provided, as part of the
overall engine room ventilation system. Approximately 50 % of the overall en-
gine room ventilation air is for the main engine’s combustion, while the other
half is used for the auxiliary engines, the boilers, and to provide sufficient cooling
for equipment in the engine room. It is therefore vitally important that the venti-
lation system for the engine room has sufficient capacity to supply the necessary
air flow for all engine room needs.
The heat emissions, required air flow and estimated power for the layout of en-
gine room ventilation can be obtained from the GTD application. These values
consider the ISO 8861 standard, however, in some circumstances the results are
different from the standard calculations. In these cases, WinGD has provided the
specific engine values and these should be considered before ISO 8861.
It should be considered that the engine requires less combustion air when not
running at full load. This then provides a potential energy save, by reducing the
frequency of the ventilation fans when demand is low. This process can be auto-
mated, interfacing with the engine, if requested.
Two different Experience shows that the air flow in the engine room, from the ventilation
ventilation arrangements system outlet to the turbocharger inlets, should be as direct as possible. This in-
creases the amount of air directly supplied to the turbocharger, limiting heat
transfer to the air flow and therefore providing the best possible engine perfor-
mance, especially during tropical conditions.
Alternatively, a ventilation system with a direct air suction layout can be ar-
ranged, where the ventilation system connects the outside ambient air directly to
the engine.
NOTE In both arrangements, the ventilation inlets must be located and de-
signed to ensure that water spray, rain water, dust and exhaust gases
cannot enter the system nor the engine room.
Layout The engine room ventilation should be arranged in such a way that the main en-
gine combustion air is delivered directly to the turbocharger inlet, locating the
ventilation outlet and turbocharger inlet as close as possible, and directly facing
to each other, ensuring a smooth and direct flow of air.

By ensuring that the air flow from the ventilation outlet to the turbocharger inlet
is as direct as possible, the air intake is at its coolest. The ventilation arrangement
should limit air from the engine room, mixing with the inlet air and entering the
turbocharger. Limiting this heating effect will keep the engine’s specific fuel con-
sumption low as a consequence.
TC with filter The turbocharger is fitted with a filter silencer that reduces noise and prevents
large items from entering the turbocharger. Most turbocharger manufacturers
supply an optional secondary fibre or mat filter that can further remove particles
and oil mist. This can reduce the effort required for scavenge air cooler cleaning.
NOTE WinGD recommend selecting the optional secondary filter to further as-
sist with removing fine particles and oil mist that may be present in the
engine room.

The outside ambient air is drawn through the ventilation system by the turbo-
chargers, and therefore there is no need for ventilation fans in this arrangement.
However, it is still essential that the ventilation inlet is protected, typically with
a weather hood and louvres. A separate filter unit, if required, can also be fitted
here, within the inlet housing.
Requirements The engine room ventilation system is provided with separate ventilation fans
and ducting. It should be appropriately sized to provide comfortable working
conditions in the engine room, supply the necessary combustion air for auxiliary
generator(s) and the boiler, and to prevent heat-sensitive apparatus from over-
heating.
As the main engine combustion air is no longer provided for by the engine room
ventilation system, the energy demand of the ventilation fans is reduced com-
pared to ‘Arrangement 1’.
Dust filters The necessity for installing a dust filter and the choice of filter type depends
mainly on the concentration and composition of dust in the suction air. The
normal air filters fitted as standard to the turbochargers are intended mainly as si-
lencers but not to protect the engine against dust. If the air supply to machinery
spaces has a dust content exceeding 0.5 mg/m3, there is a risk of increased wear
to the piston rings and cylinder liners.
All filters’ surfaces must be sized correctly to ensure full functionality of the fil-
tration. This is dependent on the engine’s maximum power output as is seen
below in Figure 4-22, 4-55.

Depending on the engine tuning option, the acceptable range of ‘Air temperature
before compressor’ (as titled by the GTD application) will vary. Please consult
the condition values provided by the GTD for the maximum and minimum
normal operating temperatures.
When operating within the normal range (as defined by the GTD application)
the engine does not require any special measures. This includes pre-heating at
low temperature, even when operating on heavy fuel oil at part load, idling and
start-up. Because of this, there is no need for a separate scavenge air heater.
NOTE No special measures are required for engine operation within the wide
temperature range as defined in the GTD application.

Permanent Magnet In cases where ‘Permanent Magnet’ type generators or electric motors are in-
stalled, special attention must be given to the alignment issue. Due to the low
rotor mass in relation to the magnetic forces, a potential risk of unloaded shaft
bearings may exist. In addition, bearing load measurements may be falsified by
the influence of the permanent-magnetic pull force.

need to be taken depending on the results of the detailed TVC. For further de-
tails, refer to section 6.4.2 PTO/PTI systems effect on torsional vibration, 6-13.

be needed to protect the elastic coupling and the gear-train (if present) from inad-
missible torsional vibrations in case of misfiring.
Impact on ECS The PTO / PTI / PTH application has to be analysed via the licensee with the
Propulsion Control System supplier and with WinGD for the Engine Control
System.
Shaft alignment study The added components can have an influence on the alignment layout. The shaft
bearing layout has to be properly selected and adjusted to comply with the given
alignment rules. For further details, refer to 3.6 Engine and shaft alignment,
3-10.
Bearing load The added components increase the bending moment and the related bearing
due to external load loads. The bearing loads have to be checked for compliance with the given rules.
Dynamic conditions The components attached to the free end have to be checked for any influence on
due to external load the axial and radial movements of the extension shaft caused by the dynamics of
the engine.

The DCM (Data Collection Monitoring) system collects large amounts of data
from engine’s onboard sensors and signals, while EDS (Engine Diagnostic
System) analyses these data, monitoring the engine performance, predicting
component malfunctions and supporting the crew with live troubleshooting and
diagnostic.
WiDE
DCM
Collecting Data
SM-0496
With the permission of the customer, DCM enables WinGD to review ship com-
pany data when required, allowing the first step towards remote support collab-
oration.
Analysis EDS analyses the DCM data to obtain a full engine diagnostic by using several
methods:
• An algorithm rule set is used to monitor, analyse and diagnose the sub-
system components. It encapsulates WinGD’s expert knowledge by consid-
ering calculations, documentation and investigations.
Prediction and This ongoing analysis is consolidated to a final output, allowing for EDS to make
troubleshooting predictions. If a potential ‘critical’ fault is diagnosed the crew is notified, ena-
bling them to decide on immediate action. However, if no action is taken EDS
will proceed with the troubleshooting process in the following sequence:
• At the initial stage all proposed actions largely follow the directions of the
engine Operating Manual.
• If required, EDS will connect to external help and support, potentially en-
gaging with human experts through on-line and remote troubleshooting.
• Once the risk is resolved, EDS collects all the available feedback and creates
relevant reports archiving it for future references.
Support As well as the actions mentioned above, when EDS responses to single-case in-
stances or potential issues, it also provides ongoing supports other ways:
• Planned maintenance and associated Spare Parts Lists are clearly displayed
in the spare parts modules. With the integrated WinGD Spare Parts Cata-
logue, component information and creating orders is simplified.
Software availability WinGD provide the EDS software for a limited ‘free-trial’ period on all their en-
gines. If there are any questions regarding this, please contact the WinGD repre-
sentative.
The process order map seen in Figure 5-9 ensures effective installation. The
DCM is installed before shop test as the data it collects provides the information
needed for the EDS tuning. This process order ensures that the WiDE system is
fully operational by the time of the vessel’s maiden voyage.

6 Engine Dynamics
It is critical that vibration is minimised throughout the design and construction
stage of any engine installations. The assessment and reduction of vibration are
subject to continuous development and research, requiring expert knowledge.
For successful design, vibration behaviour calculations are required over the
whole operating range of the engine and the propulsion system. As such,
WinGD have developed extensive computer software, analytical procedures and
measuring techniques.
NOTE WinGD provide additional support services to assist with system dy-
namics and vibration analysis. See section 6.9, 6-21 for info about
forms and links.
Forces and moments Within the engine, various forces and moments are generated by the recipro-
causing vibrations cating and rotating masses. Often these cyclical forces and moments are neutral-
ised by counterbalancing within the engine. However, if this is not achieved the
engine will experience the sum of these forces and moment as external responses,
reacting around its own axis and causing vibrations outside of the engine. Vibra-
tions are problematic, especially if a vibration frequency forces a resonance,
causing an amplitude to pass acceptable limits. This section highlights the impor-
tance of dynamic consideration, the causes and relevance.
After considering the external forces and moments types, this section explores
the resulting vibration, along with recommended considerations and counter-
measures relevant to engine type and other associated systems and design fea-
tures.
Types of vibration The vibration types considered in this section are as follows:
Dynamic characteristics The external forces and moments generated by a specific engine defines its dy-
data namic characteristics. These must be considered throughout the design process
of the vessel to avoid adverse impact on the vessel.
In the document External forces and moments WinGD provide a complete list
of the external forces and moments for each engine type. The latest version of
this document is provided on the WinGD corporate webpage under the fol-
lowing link:
External forces and moments
The external forces and moments for engines not tuned to an R1 rating are avail-
able on request.
SM-0030
Figure 6-1 shows the mass forces and moments generated by the engine. How-
ever, where possible these are neutralised. If not, cyclical generation of the ex-
ternal mass forces and moments may lead to unwanted and disturbing vibrations
throughout the vessel. This highlights the importance of using countermeasures
that balance out the generated mass forces and moments where possible.
First order moments First order mass moments (M1V and M1H) can be reduced to acceptable levels by
introducing standard counterweights, fitted to the ends of the crankshaft. In spe-
cial cases non-standard counterweights can be used to reduce either vertical
(M1V) or horizontal (M1H) first order mass moments as required.
Standard counterweights fitted to the ends of the crankshaft reduce the first order
mass moments to acceptable limits. However, in special cases non-standard
counterweights can be used to reduce either M1V or M1H.
Second and Second (M2V) and fourth (M4V) order vertical mass moments are also generated,
fourth order moments although these magnitudes will vary depending on engine type, tuning, and
number of cylinders. Unless a problematic vessel design leads to unfavourable vi-
bration, there is normally no cause for concern for engines with 7 cylinders or
more. However, 5 and 6-cylinder engines are known to generate high magnitudes
of unbalanced second order vertical mass moments (M2V) and should therefore
be carefully considered. Consequently, for 5 and 6-cylinder engines WinGD
strongly recommend that the impact of the second order vertical mass moment
on the vessel is carefully checked. In cases where the investigation reveals a pos-
sible problem, WinGD recommend to consider the installation of one of the fol-
lowing countermeasures, designed to reduce the effects of second order vertical
mass moments to acceptable values.

This countermeasure should also be considered for other cylinder number en-

limits. However, suitability will vary for different engines and vessel design.

The forces between the piston and the connecting rod reaction cause a lateral
force to act on the crosshead guide rails. The lateral forces at the guide rails are
transmitted to the engine block and to the foundation.
The resulting lateral forces and moments may excite resonances of the combined
engine and foundation system. In addition, hull resonances or local vibrations in
the engine room may be generated.
The table of H-type and X-type vibration values is also provided in the link
below:

H-type vibration
H-type lateral vibrations are characterised by a mode shape where both sides of
the top of the engine, the driving and free end, vibrate together, in phase. The lat-
eral guide forces (FL) result in a lateral moment, expressed as resulting lateral H-
type moment (MLH).
X-type vibration
X-type lateral vibrations are characterised by a mode shape where at the top of
the engine, the driving and free ends vibrate in counter-phase to each other. As
these resulting lateral guide forces create opposing axial moments at the two ends
of the engine, the X-type lateral vibrations are expressed as a moment around the
vertical axis, the resulting lateral X-type moment (MLX).
• Hydraulic stays for one-side installation have two oil chambers (one on
each side of the piston) and provide in this regard a ‘damping effect’ in both
directions.
The two general arrangements for both stay types are shown in Figure 6-5 below
and Figure 6-6, 6-8.
SM-0098
NOTE The shipyard must have confirmation from the hydraulic stay maker
acknowledging its suitability for one-side installation on the engine.
SM-0097
Hydraulic stays of WinGD provide instructions for both-side installation when using WinGD type
WinGD design stays. Please refer to the Assembly Instruction (DG 9715), which can be found
on the WinGD corporate webpage under the following link:
NOTE The use of friction type lateral stays is no longer supported by WinGD.
• For X-type vibration, two compensators, one fitted at each end of the en-
gine upper platform, are necessary and are synchronised in counter-phase.
It must be noted that electrically driven compensators can only compensate one
harmonic excitation frequency at a time.
Longitudinal stays However, there can be installations where it might be beneficial to install longi-
to prevent vibration tudinal stays. This is not because of inadmissible longitudinal vibrations at the
in superstructure
engine top but because of possible disturbing longitudinal vibrations in the super-
structure, close to nominal speed. By fitting longitudinal stays the disturbing res-
onance can be shifted above nominal speed.
The decision if longitudinal stays are needed or not has to be made by the ship-
yard based on a global ship vibration investigation, or on vibration measure-
ments taken at the top of the engine block and in the superstructure (on the first
vessel of a series).
They are arranged as shown in Figure 6-7.

n 1
Hydraulic type stays Hydraulic stays can be installed to either the free end or the driving end side of
the engine according to the design and requirements of WinGD or third-party
suppliers, as defined in the MIDS drawing (DG 9715) seen below.
Friction type stays Friction stays can be installed according to WinGD design or third-party maker
design, to either the engine free end or driving end side.
The layout of friction type stays must conform to the drawing ‘Engine stays /
friction type’ and the associated friction stays drawings (see below link to MIDS
drawing). Deviations are not acceptable, especially the friction coefficient of the
shim and the disc spring properties, which must follow exact specification.
For the assembly of friction type stays please observe the latest version of the
WinGD Assembly Instruction for WinGD friction type stays (DG 9715), which
is provided on the WinGD corporate webpage under the following link:
Assembly instruction - Friction type stays
The layout of friction type and hydraulic type stays must be as shown in the
drawing ‘Engine stays’ in the MIDS (DG 9715).
Torsional vibration The torsional loads in the system components are determined by performing a
calculation (TVC) torsional vibration calculation (TVC). The TVC must be done in the early stage
for every project.
Across the engine's speed range, all system components must remain within their
corresponding torsional vibration load limits. If in a component, the torsional
loads exceed the corresponding limit, appropriate countermeasures have to be
applied.
The calculation normally requires approval by the relevant classification society
and may require verification by measurement on board ship during sea trials. All
data required for torsional vibration calculations should be made available to the
engine supplier in an early design stage (see section 6.9, 6-21).
Barred speed range (BSR) At a certain speed range the torsional vibration stresses in the shafting may ex-
ceed the limits for continuous operation. If this occurs, a barred speed range
(BSR) must be defined. The width of the BSR is defined by the classification so-
ciety. The BSR must be passed through rapidly and some classification societies
have defined rules about the maximum permissible passage time through the
BSR. In general, the target is to have a maximum passage time of 30 seconds.
In order to guarantee a rapid passage of the BSR, a minimum power margin of
10 % at the upper boundary of the BSR must be present. The power margin is de-
fined as the margin between the bollard pull curve and the engine torque limit.
In any case, within the BSR the torsional shaft stress must not exceed the tran-
sient limit, otherwise other appropriate countermeasures have to be taken.
Low-energy vibrations
Viscous damper Where low-energy torsional vibrations have to be reduced, a viscous damper can
be installed; refer to Figure 6-8. In some cases, the torsional vibration calculation
shows that an additional oil-spray cooling for the viscous damper is needed. In
such cases the layout must be in accordance with the recommendations of the
damper manufacturer and WinGD design department. The viscosity of the sili-
cone oil in the viscous damper must be checked periodically. The interval is spec-
ified by the damper manufacturer. For more information, refer to the Operation
Manual.
High-energy vibrations
For high-energy torsional vibrations that may occur e.g. on 5 and 6-cylinder en-
gines, a spring type damper with its tuning and damping effect may be consid-
ered; refer to Figure 6-8.
Spring damper The spring type damper must be supplied with oil from the engine’s lubricating
oil system. Depending on the torsional vibration energy to be absorbed, it can
dissipate up to 30 kW energy (depends on number of cylinders).
The oil flow to the damper is 4-6 m3/h. An accurate value will be given after the
results of the torsional vibration calculation are known.

Installations with PTO or PTI require special attention in the early stages of a
project. These systems may cause torsional vibrations and alignment challenges.
Risk of instable For many PTO / PTI systems that use elastic couplings, the lowest torsional nat-
engine speed ural frequency can be problematic if it is below approximately 1.5 Hz. Here, there
is a risk of engine speed instability where the engine constantly adjusts its speed
to compensate the rotating vibration; this must be considered and compensated
for in the engine speed control system.
Installation of MFD In addition, such PTO / PTI systems are very sensitive to misfiring as varying
firing loads can cause inadmissible torsional vibrations. To protect the elastic
couplings and gears from any misfiring, a misfiring detection device (MFD) must
be installed. This indicates either partial or total misfiring, allowing for appro-
priate countermeasures (e.g. speed reduction, de-clutching of PTO / PTI branch)
to be applied automatically, protecting the PTO / PTI components.
For additional consideration about PTO / PTI application refer to section 4.10,
4-58, and for support regarding system layout, please contact WinGD.
It is recommended that axial vibration calculations are carried out at the same
time as torsional vibration calculations. To consider the coupling effect of tor-
sional vibrations on axial vibrations, it is necessary to apply a suitable coupled
axial vibration calculation method.

The integrated axial vibration damper is mounted at the free end of the crank-
shaft. It is connected to the main lubricating oil circuit. An integrated oil pressure
monitoring system continuously checks the correct operation of the axial vibra-
tion damper.
Whirling vibrations are in most cases not relevant in propulsion shafting with di-
rectly coupled low-speed 2-stroke engines. Typically, whirling vibrations are
only relevant in 2-stroke installations having a very long shaft line (longer than
60 m).

Concept
As discussed previously in this section, it is important that vibrations of the en-
gine or propeller are minimised. Some specific vibrations will be problematic if
they cause resonance in the surrounding vessel structure.
Alteration of phase angles With twin-engine vessels the resulting vibration amplitude is equal to the sum of
both engines and is therefore dependent on the phase difference of the engines.
The phase difference of any two vibrations is the relative difference (of angle or
time) between any matching points of their vibrational cycles.
It is shown in Figure 6-10 that if the vibrations are in phase (0 ° phase difference)
the resultant amplitude can reach double that of a single vibration. However, to-
wards a phase difference of 180 ° the amplitude is reduced from the vibrations
neutralising each other.
In phase - 0˚
SM-0515
By correctly altering the phase angles between two crankshafts, a vibration can
be reduced and possibly eliminated, limiting vibrations distribution in the ship’s
hull and superstructure.

Main controller and The main controller is installed in the engine control room along with the user in-
user interface in ECR terface, where the relative phase difference angle (provided by WinGD vibration
experts) can be entered. This enables the system to implement a closed loop con-
trol of the set-points, which are a function of the difference between the reference
phase angle and current phase angle. To adjust the phase angle between the two
engines, the speed of only one (slave) engine is adapted.
NOTE Any phase angle value entered into the user interface must be previ-
ously approved by WinGD’s Dynamics experts, as incorrect settings
can lead to excessive vibrations.
• Control On
Fully operational. This can be selected when the release conditions are ful-
filled (see in the following).
• Estimate Only
The speed of each engine and the relative phase angle between them is indi-
cated and continuously updated, but not controlled. This can be selected
when the release conditions are fulfilled (see below).
• Off
All control parameters of Synchro-Phasing control are reduced and reset to
initial value (zero). This can be selected at any time.
Release conditions The following conditions must be fulfilled to activate the Control On and Esti-
mate Only modes. These conditions are:
• Both engines are operated within the speed conditions of the Synchro-
Phasing system
• Both engines have the same speed set-point and have completed the load
up / down programs to reach this speed set-point
Deactivation of the Control On and Estimate Only modes will occur if required.
Synchro-Phasing is also overruled and reset if engine limitations are reached.
After deactivation, Off will be automatically active.

Low-pressure SCR
The SCR reactor is located on the low-pressure side, after the turbine.
For low-pressure SCR applications WinGD have developed a 2-stroke engine in-
terface specification that complies with the known low-pressure SCR system pro-
viders. Low-pressure SCR is typically larger in volume than high-pressure SCR,
but more flexible in installation position, as any after-turbocharger position is ac-
ceptable.

The main change introduced by the new IMO MSC.337, compared to the pre-
vious Resolution A468(XII), is that in large rooms with many measurement po-
sitions, the individual positions must be compared to the maximum admissible
limit.
NOTE The noise level graphs in Figure 7-3, 7-4, Figure 7-5, 7-6 and
Figure 7-6, 7-7 show typical values for MCR. As the rating and tuning
dependency is marginal, the values can be used for all ratings.
Near the turbocharger (air intake), the maximum measured noise level will nor-
mally be 3-5 dB(A) higher than the average noise level of the engine.
Standard noise reduction The present document includes the expected maximum overall value for a single
& additional point. Figure 7-3, 7-4 distinguishes between standard noise reduction and ad-
noise reduction
ditional noise reduction on turbocharger air side. The turbocharger suppliers are
currently developing different silencer solutions to comply with the new noise
limit regulation of 110 dB(A) for single point.
NOTE The single point noise limit of 110 dB(A) for machinery spaces may be
exceeded if standard silencers are applied.

Installation of silencer Depending on the actual noise level allowed on the bridge wing — which is nor-
mally between 60 and 70 dB(A) — a simple flow silencer of the absorption type
may be placed after the exhaust gas boiler, if the noise reduction of the boiler is
not sufficient.
For installations with exhaust gas bypass, a silencer in the main engine exhaust
line may be considered.
The silencers are to be dimensioned for a gas velocity of approx. 35 m/s with a
pressure loss of approx. 2 mbar at specified CMCR.

8 Engine Dispatch
This chapter describes the provisions to be made for transporting the engine from
the engine builder to the shipyard or final destination.
• Each item is to be clearly identified with ‘paint ball’ pen, similar indelible
marker ink, or figure and letter stamps.
• To ensure correct reassembly and eliminate the risk of parts from one cyl-
inder unit being fitted to another by mistake, it is indispensable that bear-
ings and running gear are clearly marked cylinder by cylinder.
For further details refer to the latest version of the relevant Guideline (DG 0345),
