Abstract Nowadays the global climate changes have determined the international bodies to take measures in order to reduce emissions that contribute to the greenhouse effect. The main component of the exhausting gases produced by diesel engines is the CO2 emissions, considered responsible for the greenhouse effect appearance. The CO2 occurrence is largely dependent on the fuel carbon content as used in the diesel engines and further on the fuel consumption. In this context, it is worthwhile considering the maritime transportation activities taking place since 2011 when IMO took steps to reduce the emissions of CO2 from the exhaust gases of marine diesel engines on ships, enforcing their energy efficiency standards. This paper presents a summary of the main methods for determining the CO2 masses from the exhaust gases of marine diesel engines. These computation methods highlight usage opportunities from the sustainable management principles point of view, promoting the concept of energy efficiency onboard the ships. The undertaken researches open new perspectives in regulation framework, offering new tools for GHG ship emissions’ monitoring and evidence.

Since the beginning, development of marine diesel engines was turned towards obtaining a low fuel consumption and the result has reflected in engines construction: increased bore and cylinder liner diameter, higher working pressures and lower piston speeds. Similar improvements have taken place in the supercharging system, innovative fuel injection technologies and changes in combustion pressures. Nowadays, the trend of development has changed, the concept of reducing NOx and SOx emissions became a priority in order to meet the limits imposed by international organizations. As a consequence, a series of changes in operating mode of marine engines was noticed but also several innovations appeared in the construction and development of marine engines.

Increasing the energy efficiency of the marine propulsion systems currently represents one of the priorities that have been placed in front of all subjects of maritime shipping market. More and more ship owners aspired to larger and more powerful diesel engines demanded from the marine engine manufacturers to implement various technological modifications to increase the engine efficiency, extend the life of engine components, and thus prolonge regular overhauling period of them. One of the way to meet these demands, among other things, is to improve the tribological characteristics of engine components. The aim of this paper is to present structural modification of tribological system “cylinder liner - piston ring - piston” of large bore slow speed marine diesel engine to reduce friction problems in mentioned system.

This paper presents an operational evaluation of piston-piston rings-cylinder liner (PRC) assembly wear in marine diesel engines of high power. It is based on visual inspection through cylinder liner scavenge ports. Clearance measurements of piston rings in piston grooves and piston ring gap measurements were used to evaluate the extent of wear of the PRC assembly. Moreover, it is shown that piston ring gap measurements can be used as a reference parameter in wear trend analysis to predict the length of time periods between overhauls (TBO). Furthermore, it has been shown that controlling the wear of chromium (protective) layers of piston ring working surfaces by measuring their thickness with induction and eddy current methods is highly useful. They were accepted as a source of information on PRC lubrication correctness and as a symptom of its technical condition. Factors indicating the necessity of an overhaul and introducing operational methods of improving working conditions between the tribological pair – liner and piston rings have been determined.

This paper investigates the effect of optimum macro-scale cylinder liners oil groove on the tribological behavior of large bore marine diesel engines. Parabolic bottom shape grooves are selected as the cylinder liner surface texturing. The grooves have been distributed along the stroke in the form of array of circumferential cells with the axial groove centered in each cell. Teaching–learning-based optimization algorithm is applied to get the optimum dimensions of oil grooves, where the objective is to minimize the cyclic average total friction force between the top compression piston ring and the cylinder liner. Numerical simulation based on Reynolds equation is presented to study the effect of optimum grooves’ dimensions on tribological parameters such as hydrodynamic friction, asperity contact pressure, and hydrodynamic oil film pressure. Results showed that the optimum dimensions oil grooves have a significant effect on the total friction force and the cavitation pressure of the oil film.

Piston ring lubrication in some types of low-speed 2-stroke marine diesel engines is completely different from those in medium-or high-speed diesel engines since the inner surface of cylinder liners are textured with circular grooves in macro-scale and honing texture in micro-scale. In this paper, a numerical model has been developed to study the potential of use of cylinder bore surface texturing, in the form of circumferential oil grooves with different dimensions and densities, and their efficiency to improve the tribological properties of piston ring-cylinder liner tribo-system. The average Reynolds equation has been employed in the area of micro-scale texture and the effect of macro-scale grooves has been incorporated to improve the currently lubrication model. The results showed that the cylinder liner oil grooves can efficiently be used to maintain hydrodynamic effect. It is also shown that optimum surface texturing may substantially reduce the friction losses between piston ring and cylinder liner.
