Processing Information

The article provides an overview of currently used diagnostic systems of medium- and high-speed marine diesel engines. The parameters controlled by diagnostic systems have been discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of the monitoring systems of marine diesel engines designed as a single software-hardware complex have been analyzed. As it has been stated, universal monitoring systems for engines of different models are not created. Specialized diagnostic systems are only installed in powerful engines which are used on sea-going ships, not on river vessels and mixed (river-sea) navigation vessels; such complexes have not been applied so far. According to the results of the analysis, there have been listed engine diagnostic parameters required for implementing algorithms of automatic diagnostics without disassembling. The paper presents a review of commercially available sensors for measuring parameters of engines in operation. It has been shown that currently the decision of tasks of technical diagnostics of marine engines and, therefore, other less complex mechanisms of a ship power plant on the river vessels is possible because of modern electronic control systems that allow continuous monitoring of technical parameters, i.e. collecting and processing information received from sensors of the controlled variables and processes.

Abstract Optimization procedures are required to minimize the amount of fuel consumption and exhaust emissions from marine engines. This study discusses the procedures to optimize the performance of any marine engine implemented in a 0D/1D numerical model in order to achieve lower values of exhaust emissions. From that point, an extension of previous simulation researches is presented to calculate the amount of SOx emissions from two marine diesel engines along their load diagrams based on the percentage of sulfur in the marine fuel used. The variations of SOx emissions are computed in g/kW·h and in parts per million (ppm) as functions of the optimized parameters: brake specific fuel consumption and the amount of air-fuel ratio respectively. Then, a surrogate model-based response surface methodology is used to generate polynomial equations to estimate the amount of SOx emissions as functions of engine speed and load. These developed non-dimensional equations can be further used directly to assess the value of SOx emissions for different percentages of sulfur of the selected or similar engines to be used in different marine applications.

Abstract Currently, environmental specifications of marine diesel engines become more stringent. There are two well-known and popular ways to improve engine environmental performance: the internal method is based on operation process improvement, as well as on the use of various fuel additives or air supply to the diesel cylinder. Another method is external (gas purification using catalysts and filters). The article considers one of these possible ways of reducing nitrogen oxides in marine diesel engines by using a water agent in fuel with various water phase dispersion degrees. The high-speed characteristics of the ship engine operation under various modes using “L” brand diesel fuel and emulsions are given. Studies have shown that when converting diesel from pure fuel to a microheterogenous emulsion (water inclusions’ diameter 5-10 microns), the concentration of NOx decreased by 1.4 times, fuel consumption increased by (4-5) g/(kWh), with an increase in the maximum combustion pressure by 0.7 MPa. The tests have confirmed the effectiveness of using a microheterogenous emulsion to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions.

Prediction of the ROHR (rate of heat release) and NOx production in medium-speed marine diesel engines was investigated. The subject of this paper is qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the numerical results. FIRE code v8.1 was used to examine the behavior of spray and combustion phenomena in diesel engine. Wave breakup and Zeldovich models were adopted to describe the atomization characteristics and NOx formation. The spray visualization was performed experimentally in the constant-volume high-pressure chamber to clarify numerical results on the spray characteristics of the spray angle and penetration. Time-resolved spray behaviors were captured by high-speed digital camera. The simulation results were tested with the experimental data of the real engine. Finally, with adjustment of some model constants, reasonable agreements between experimental and simulated results on the ROHR and NOx were shown.

The Navy pilot program investigated cost-effective technologies to reduce emissions from legacy marine engines. High-speed, high-population engine models in both commercial and Navy fleets were targeted. Emission reductions were sought that would minimize fuel penalty as well as installation and operating costs. Navy operating conditions and fuels limited options. Five highly rated technologies were laboratory tested on a Detroit Diesel Corporation 12V-71N engine using two military and three alternative fuels. Two control technologies were then shipboard tested (baseline, 1-year early degradation, and 9-year late-life). Conclusions and recommendations are provided to inform application of these and similar emission control technologies within both commercial and Navy fleets.

This article addresses the issue of diagnostics and maintenance of Gas Turbine Engines which are located in high Speed Ferries, Cruisers, Frigates, Corvettes, etc. Assurance of reliable operation can be performed only by using correct diagnostic methods and procedures of monitoring the condition of the devices and by selecting the correct strategy of maintenance. The issue of monitoring the technical condition of Gas Turbine Engines is treated through multiparametric methods of technical diagnostics incorporated into predictive maintenance, which is a part of proactive maintenance. There are methods of vibrodiagnostics, thermography, tribology, borescopy and emissions measurement. Each of these methods has lots of advantages and disadvantages; therefore it is very important to ensure their correct combination for trouble-free operation of those important facilities. Their suitability at work is discussed in the matrix of diagnostic methods application and the PF chart. The output of the work is a proposal of a suitable model of maintenance control which uses multiparametric diagnostic methods for small and big Gas Turbine Engines and optimizes maintenance costs.

The paper presents problems related to testing of the technical condition of high-speed marine diesel engines that are not equipped with indicated valves, as it is in the case of larger medium-and low-speed marine internal combustion engines. In this case, in assessment of technical condition of engine fuel injection system and valve gear system a vibration signals (in time / angle domain) analysis modified method called HFRT (High Frequency Resonance Technique) can be used. This method indirectly helps also to evaluate the fuel combustion process in the engine cylinders. The paper presents the theoretical basis of a modified HFRT method, physical implementation of the marine diesel engine system’s analyzer used for marine engines testing built at the Institute of Construction and Operation of Ships at Polish Naval Academy (PNA) in Gdynia. The paper also includes a description of the vibration signal processing methodology and examples of measurements made in the ships conditions for a few selected types of engines.

Turbocharged diesel engines are widely used in the marine industry and have a significant impact on global CO2 and NOx emissions. Turbochargers are an integral component of any diesel engine and they play a critical role in their performance. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and Calnetix Technologies have developed a unique technology called the “Electro-Assist Turbo” (EAT). The EAT unit consists of a specially designed high speed permanent magnet motor directly mounted to the turbocharger rotating assembly. The high speed motor applies torque to the turbocharger rotor enabling it maintain or vary rotor speed at low engine exhaust flow rates in order to supply sufficient charge air to maximize engine performance. Turbocharged diesel engines suffer from inherent deficiencies at low engine speeds; there is not enough energy in the exhaust to produce an optimum and readily available level of boost for the engine intake air system at off-design points. This technology proves even more important as the majority of large marine vessels are now operating in a “slow steaming” part throttle mode. To date the majority of marine diesel engines use auxiliary air blowers (AAB) to supply additional air to the engine intake during off design point operation. These AABs are inefficient and not intended nor designed to be used in constant operation. The EAT unit can provide a higher discharge pressure at the same electrical power consumption as an AAB. This more efficient design with higher discharge pressure further improves fuel efficiency and eliminates the need to run an external piece of machinery during operation, thus lowering maintenance costs. This paper will provide an overview of the design, integration and initial testing of the 100kW Electro-Assist Turbo into a Mitsubishi Exhaust-gas Turbocharger (MET)-83 marine diesel turbocharger. In addition this paper will go over the custom designed aerodynamic motor housing structure that holds the non-rotating components without penalizing performance of the turbocharger, special software developed for the variable frequency drive system that enables the flexible operation of the high speed motor, and features of the high speed permanent magnet motor that allows for operation without any active cooling. Also, this paper will provide and discuss the initial test results of the EAT integrated into the MET-83 turbocharger along with engine testing results provided by MHI. Low cost designs will be discussed that enable turbochargers currently in operation to be retrofitted and the further improvements taking place to commercialize.

Показана перспективность комбинированной очистки моторного масла в судовых тронковых дизелях с использованием саморегенерирующихся фильтров и сепараторов. Этот метод очистки особенно эффективен для форсированных высокоавтоматизированных двигателей с низким угаром масла, работающих на высоковязких остаточных топливах. Обосновывается важность надежной защиты подшипников двигателя от абразивного изнашивания полнопоточным фильтрованием масла. Центробежный сепаратор, работающий по байпасной схеме, эффективно удаляет из системы смазки мелкодисперсную фазу нерастворимых загрязнений, что обеспечивает функционирование и повышает автономность саморегенерирующегося фильтра, а также замедляет старение смазочного масла. Доказывается необходимость подбора сепаратора по удельному индексу производительности, обеспечивающему ресурсосберегающее маслоиспользование в системе «дизель–топливо–масло– очистка». Новизна экспериментального моделирования эффективности этой системы состоит в оценке с помощью лабораторной моторной установки трибологических показателей отработавшего в судовом дизеле смазочного масла, отражающих взаимодействие звеньев рассматриваемой системы, и установлении их связи с изнашиванием двигателя. Эффективность системы идентифицирована по критерию изнашивания дизеля, что позволяет использовать ее расчетно-экспериментальную модель для определения параметров центробежного сепаратора – с тем, чтобы он удовлетворял требованиям рассматриваемых взаимодействующих звеньев. Модель трансформирована в выражение для расчета удельного, приходящегося на единицу мощности двигателя индекса производительности сепаратора, обеспечивающего минимальное изнашивание двигателя, бессменную работу смазочного масла и автономный срок службы саморегенерирующегося фильтра не менее 3 тыс. ч. Полученные рекомендации по подбору сепаратора в системе смазки двигателя с полной реализацией достоинств автоматизированной тонкой очистки моторного масла комбинированием фильтрования и центрифугирования применимы для судовых дизелей средней и повышенной частоты вращения мощностью до 20 тыс. кВт. Ключевые слова: ресурсосберегающее маслоиспользование, саморегенерирующийся фильтр, центробежный сепаратор, изнашивание дизеля, комбинированная очистка масла, смазочная система, индекс производительности сепаратора, оптимизация сепарирования масла The prospects of combined cleaning of engine oil in ship trunk diesel engines using self-regenerating filters and separators are shown. This cleaning method is especially effective for high-powered, highly automated engines with low oil waste, operating on high-viscosity residual fuels. The importance of reliable protection of engine bearings from abrasive wear by full-flow oil filtration is substantiated. The centrifugal separator, operating according to the bypass scheme, effectively removes the finely dispersed phase of insoluble contaminants from the lubrication system, which ensures the functioning and increases the autonomy of the self-regenerating filter, and also slows down the aging of the lubricating oil. The necessity of selecting a separator according to the specific performance index, which ensures resource-saving oil use in the “dieselfuel-oil-cleaning” system, is proved. The novelty of the experimental modeling of the efficiency of this system consists in evaluating the tribological indicators of the lubricating oil used in a marine diesel engine, reflecting the interaction of the links under consideration, on a laboratory motor unit, and establishing their connection with engine wear. The efficiency of the presented system is identified by the criterion of diesel wear, which makes it possible to use its computational and experimental model to determine the parameters of a centrifugal separator so that it meets the requirements of the considered interacting links. The model has been transformed into an expression for calculating the specific index of the separator performance per unit of engine power, which ensures minimum engine wear, permanent operation of the lubricating oil and an autonomous service life of a self-regenerating filter of at least 3 thousand hours. Full realization of the advantages of automated fine cleaning of engine oil by combining filtration and centrifugation, are applicable for marine diesel engines of medium and high speed with a capacity of up to 20 thousand kW.

A Priority

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.
