1. Engine description
Engine design
- Designed for heavy fuel operation up to 700 cst./50 C, fuel grade acc. to CIMAC H55 K55, ISO 8217,
1996 (E), ISO-F-RMH55 RMK55.
- 1-piece dry engine block made of nodular cast iron. It incorporates the crankshaft bearing, cam-
shaft bearing, charge air receiver, vibration damper housing and gear drive housing.
- Underslung crankshaft with corrosion resistant main and big end bearing shells.
- Composite type pistons with steel crown and aluminium alloy skirt.
- Piston ring set consisting of 2 chromium plated compression rings, first ring with chrom-ceramic
layer and 1 chromium plated oil scraper ring. Two ring grooves are hardened and located in the
steel crown.
- 2-piece connecting rod, fully machined, obliquely split with serrated joint.
- Cylinder head made of nodular cast iron with 2 inlet and 2 exhaust valves with valve rotators.
Direct cooled exhaust valve seats.
- Camshaft made of sections per cylinder allowing a removal of the pieces sideways.
- 2-circuit fresh water cooling system with single charge air cooler.
- Nozzle cooling for heavy fuel operation only with engine lubricating oil.

2. General data and outputs
Remark:
The generator outputs are based on 95 % efficiency and a power factor of 0.8.
Output definition
The maximum continuous rating stated by Caterpillar Motoren refers to the following reference condi-
tions according to "IACS" (International Association of Classification Societies) for main and auxiliary
engines:
The permissible overload is 10 % for one hour every twelve hours. The maximum fuel rack position is
limited to 110 % continuous rating.

m
3. Restrictions for low load operation
The engine can be started, stopped and run on heavy fuel oil under all operating conditions.
The HFO system of the engine remains in operation and keeps the HFO at injection viscosity. The tem-
perature of the engine injection system is maintained by circulating hot HFO and heat losses are com-
pensated.
The lube oil treatment system (lube oil separator) remains in operation, the lube oil is separated con-
tinuously.
The operating temperature of the engine cooling water is maintained by the cooling water preheater.
Below 25 % output heavy fuel operation is neither efficient nor economical.
A change-over to diesel oil is recommended to avoid disadvantages as e.g. increased wear and tear,
contamination of the air and exhaust gas systems and increased contamination of lube oil.

4. Load application and recovery behaviour
The permissible load increase according to ISO 8528-5 and IACS must be carried out in several steps,
depending on the mean effective pressure. The ships network must be designed so that this permissi-
ble load increase is kept. The shipyard is to provide the approval of the responsible classification
society in time before classification acceptance of the engine.

11. Lubricating oil system
Wear and tear and thus the service life of the engine depend on the lube oil quality. Therefore high
requirements are made for lubricants:
Constant uniform distribution of the additives at all operating conditions. Perfect cleaning (detergent
effect) and dispersing power, prevention of deposits from the combustion process in the engine. Suffi-
cient alkalinity in order to neutralize acid combustion residues. The TBN (total base number) must be
between 30 and 40 KOH/g at HFO operation. For MDO operation the TBN is 12 - 20 depending on sulphur
content. RE-governor should be fitted with a normal 15 W 40 multipurpose oil.

15. Combustion air system
Air intake from engine room (standard): - Fans are to be designed for a slight overpressure in the
engine room.
- On system side the penetration of water, sand, dust, and
exhaust gas must be avoided.
- When operating under tropical conditions the air flow
must be conveyed directly to the turbocharger.
- The temperature at turbocharger filter should not fall be-
low + 10 C.
- In cold areas warming up of the air in the engine room
must be ensured.
Air intake from outside: - The intake air duct is to be provided with a filter. Penetra-
tion of water, sand, dust and exhaust gas must be
avoided.
- Connection to the turbocharger is to be established via an
expansion joint (to be supplied by the yard). For this pur-
pose the turbocharger will be equipped with a connection
socket.
- At temperatures below + 10 C the Caterpillar Motoren/
Application Engineering must be consulted.

Design of the pipe cross-section: The pressure loss is to be minimized in order to optimize fuel
consumption and thermal load of the engine.
Notes regarding installation: - Arrangement of the first expansion joint directly on the
exhaust gas nozzle
- Arrangement of the first fixed point in the conduit directly
after the expansion joint
- Drain opening to be provided (protection of turbocharger
and engine against water)
- Each engine requires an exhaust gas pipe (one common
pipe for several engines is not permissible).

20. Diesel engine management system DIMOS
DIMOS is a computer aided maintenance and spare part management system for Caterpillar Motoren
diesel engines. The DIMOS-system will include a data base which is filled with information derived
from the operating instructions and the spares catalogue of your respective engine type. This system
enables to administration and check the following three major subjects:
1. Maintenance
2. Material management
3. Statistics
These four major subjects are provided with many internal connections, so that no double inputs are
required. All you need for running the DIMOS-system is commercial PC hardware.

21. Standard acceptance test run
The acceptance test run is carried out on the testbed with customary equipment and auxiliaries using
exclusively MDO and under the respective ambient conditions of the testbed. During this test run the
fuel rack will be blocked at the contractual output value. In case of deviations from the contractual
ambient conditions the fuel consumption will be converted to standard reference conditions.
The engine will be run at the following load stages acc. to the rules of the classification societies.
After reaching steady state condition of pressures and temperatures these will be recorded and reg-
istered acc. to the form sheet of the acceptance test certificate:
- governor test
- overspeed test
- emergency shut-down via minimum oil pressure
- start/stop via central engine control
- measurement of crank web deflection (cold/warm condition)
After the acceptance main running gear, camshaft drive and timing gear train will be inspected
through the opened covers. Individual inspection of special engine components such as piston or
bearings is not intended, because such inspections are carried out by the classification societies at
intervals on series engines.
Engine movement due to vibration referred to the global vibration characteristics of the engine:
The basis for assessing vibration severity are the guidelines ISO 10816-6.
According to these guidline the MaK engine will be assigned to vibration severity grade 28, class 5.
On the engine block the following values will not be exceeded:

22. Engine International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate
The MARPOL Diplomatic Conference has agreed about a limitation of NOx emissions, referred to as
Annex VI to Marpol 73/78.
When testing the engine for NOx emissions, the reference fuel is Marine Diesel Oil (Distillate) and the
test is performed according to ISO 8178 test cycles:
Subsequently, the NOx value has to be calculated using different weighting factors for different loads
that have been corrected to ISO 8178 conditions.
An EIAPP (Engine International Air Pollution Prevention) certificate will be issued for each engine
showing that the engine complies with the regulation. At the time of writing, only an interim
certificate can be issued due to the regulation not yet in force.
According to the IMO regulations, a Technical File shall be made for each engine. This Technical File
contains information about the components affecting NOx emissions, and each critical component is
marked with a special IMO number. Such critical components are injection nozzle, injection pump,
camshaft, cylinder head, piston, connecting rod, charge air cooler and turbocharger. The allowable
setting values and parameters for running the engine are also specified in the Technical File.
The marked components can later, on-board the ship, be easily identified by the surveyor and thus an
IAPP (International Air Pollution Prevention) certificate for the ship can be issued on basis of the
EIAPP and the on-board inspection.
