And Performance

Recently, the stringent international regulations on ship energy efficiency and NOx emissions from ocean-going ships make energy conservation and emission reduction be the theme of the shipping industry. Due to its fuel economy and reliability, most large commercial vessels are propelled by a low-speed two-stroke marine diesel engine, which consumes most of the fuel in the ship. In the present work, a zero-dimensional model is developed, which considers the blow-by, exhaust gas bypass, gas exchange, turbocharger, and heat transfer. Meanwhile, the model is improved by considering the heating effect of the blow-by gas on the intake gas. The proposed model is applied to a MAN B&W low-speed two-stroke marine diesel engine and validated with the engine shop test data. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. The accuracy of the model is greatly improved after considering the heating effect of blow-by gas. The model accuracy of most parameters has been improved from within 5% to within 2%, by considering the heating effect of blow-by gas. Finally, the influence of blow-by area change on engine performance is analyzed with considering and without considering the heating effect of blow-by.

Abstract Underwater exhaust systems are employed on board ships to allow zero direct emissions to the atmosphere with the possibility of drag reduction via exhaust gas lubrication. However, underwater expulsion of exhaust gases imparts high and dynamic back pressure, which can fluctuate in amplitude and time period as a ship operates in varying sea-states depending on its geographical location and weather conditions. Therefore, this research aims to experimentally investigate the performance of a marine diesel engine against varying amplitudes and time periods of dynamic back pressure at different sea-states due to underwater exhaust systems. In this study, a turbocharged, marine diesel engine was tested at different loads along the propeller curve against dynamic back pressure waves produced by controlling an electronic butterfly valve placed in the exhaust line after the turbine outlet. Engine performance was investigated against single and multiple back pressure waves of varying amplitudes and wave periods based on real sea-state conditions and wave data. We found that the adverse effects of dynamic back pressure on engine performance were less severe than those found against static back pressure. Governor control and turbocharger dynamics play an important role in keeping the fuel penalty and thermal loading low against dynamic back pressure. Therefore, a marine engine may be able to handle much higher levels of dynamic back pressures when operating with underwater exhaust systems in higher sea-states.

The Impact

The operation during compressor surge of a medium speed marine diesel engine was examined on a test bed. The compressor of the engine's turbocharger was forced to operate beyond the surge line, by injecting compressed air at the engine intake manifold, downstream of the compressor during steady-state engine operation. While the compressor was surging, detailed measurements of turbocharger and engine performance parameters were conducted. The measurements included the use of constant temperature anemometry for the accurate measurement of air velocity fluctuations at the compressor inlet during the surge cycles. Measurements also covered engine performance parameters such as in-cylinder pressure and the impact of compressor surge on the composition of the exhaust gas emitted from the engine. The measurements describe in detail the response of a marine diesel engine to variations caused by compressor surge. The results show that both turbocharger and engine performance are affected by compressor surge and fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis proved that they oscillate at the same main frequency. Also, prolonged steady-state operation of the engine with this form of compressor surge led to a non-negligible increase of NOx emissions.
