The reliability of marine propulsion systems depends on the reliability of several sub-systems of a diesel engine. The scavenge air system is one of the crucial sub-systems of the marine engine with a turbocharger as an essential component. In this paper, the failures of a turbocharger are analyzed through the fault tree analysis (FTA) method to estimate the reliability of the system and to predict the cause of failures. The quantitative method is used for assessing the probability of faults occurring in the turbocharger system. The main failures of a scavenge air sub-system, such as air filter blockage, compressor fouling, turbine fouling (exhaust side), cooler tube blockage and cooler air side blockage, are simulated on a Wärtsilä-Transas engine simulator for a marine two-stroke diesel engine. The results obtained through the simulation can provide improvement in the maintenance plan, reliability of the propulsion system and optimization of turbocharger operation during exploitation time.

Dual Fuel Diesel Engine (Mesin Bahan Bakar Ganda) merupakan mesin denganpemanfaatan dua bahan bakar dalam proses pembakarannya untuk memperoleh tenaga kerjapada mesin. Jenis bahan bakar yang digunakan meliputi bahan bakar Methane Gas (CH4)dan MGO (Marine Gas Oil). Methane (CH4) dihasilkan dari Vapour Cargo Tank LNG(Liquified Natural Gas). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apa sajapenyebab tingginya suhu gas buang terhadap kinerja Dual Fuel Diesel Engine di MV.Tangguh Palung dengan menggunakan metode analisis data Fault Tree Analysis. Darianalisis data penelitian di hasilkan beberapa rumusan masalah yaitu, faktor-faktor yangdapat menyebabkan tingginya suhu gas buang pada Dual Fuel Diesel Engine adalahkurangnya suplai udara pembakaran dalam ruang pembakaran mesin, komposisipembakaran yang tidak sesuai antara bahan bakar minyak dan gas, serta suhu Engine Roomyang terlalu panas. Dampak yang di timbulkan adalah kerusakan pada komponen-komponenpermesinan dan penurunan kinerja dari Dual Fuel Diesel Engine. Untuk mengatasipenurunan kerja pada Dual Fuel Diesel Engine adalah dengan melaksanakan perawatan danperbaikan pada setiap komponen permesinan yang mengalami masalah dan kerusakan sesuaidengan Running Hours dan Instruction Manual Book.

This paper is based on the application of the root cause analysis principle of diesel engine injector failure in diesels Haditha station. The maintenance of the diesel engine injector contains many problems that lead to the injector stopping; several reasons lead to such Problems. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is one of the most widely used methods in the industrial sector to perform reliability analysis of complex engineering systems. A fault tree is a logical representation of the relationship of primary/basic events that lead to a given undesirable event (i.e., top event). This research aims to present the (FTA) technology and how to use it in analyzing the causes of problems that lead to the injector stop working, and how to calculate the probability of occurrence of such problems. Implementation of FTA based on the probabilities of the causes under the top event and canalization lead to the calculated probability value (0.80). The plant management can define a specific plan to reduce these problems, because failure of an important engine part (injector) with such a large value leads to long downtime hours compared to operating hours.

Marine systems are complex and through the analysis of their reliability it is necessary to observe the reliability of their subsystems and components. With regard to the fact that the reliability is functionally dependent on faults, for the purpose of this study special attention has been given to possible faults on the heavy fuel oil supply pump of a two-stroke marine diesel engine MAN B&W 5L90MC. A deductive approach to reliability analysis, i.e. fault tree analysis method (FTA), has been used. By the use of this method it is simpler to identify the system’s weak link and it is shown that the method gives the basis for the ship’s system reliability analysis. Based on FTA analysis this paper suggests system parameters that require continuous monitoring in order to achieve reliability. The results show the behavior of the components in case of faults and this approach can help to create a plan of action in order to enforce timely corrective and preventive action and, accordingly, increase the rate of reliability of the entire ship’s systems.
