Introduction
The Project Guide provides main engine data and system proposals for the early design phase
of engine installations. For contracted projects specific instructions for planning the installation
are always delivered.
The 2/1997 issue replaces all previous ones of the Vasa 32 Project Guide.
Major revisions of issue 2/1997:
• The heat balance of the low NOX engines is revised according to the latest laboratory measurements.
Major revisions of issue 1/1997:
Information concerning the low NOX emission model, Vasa 32 LN, is now presented in parallel
with information on the basic Vasa 32. Where no distinction is made, the data applies to both
engine types.
• Technical data is revised in accordance with the current engine specifications.
• Exhaust gas pipe dimensions are for some cylinder numbers increased.
• Lists of suitable fuel and lubricating oil separators are included.
• Instructions on engine room ventilation are added.
• Emission control methods are described.
• The code numbers of electrical components are new.
• Engine seating instructions are extended.
• Piping interface points are better defined with reference to standard and pressure class.
The information provided in this Project Guide is subject to revision without notice.

equipped with an electric fuel feed pump, except for en-
gines in single engine installations. For V-engines the
corresponding pump should be fitted in the external fuel
system. The pump is used as follows:
1. For continuous circulation of heavy fuel through
the engine, if the engine is running, or is in stand-
by, on heavy fuel.
2. To start before the engine starts, when running on
Marine Diesel Fuel, and stop with the engine.

14.8. Preheating of cooling water


Preheating of the cooling water has to be arranged on
engines which are in stand-by on heavy fuel and for all
engines which are arranged for instant load application.
Preheating is preferably controlled automatically. The
circulating pump should start when one engine stops,
and stop when all engines are running.
The cooling water preheater should be controlled by a
thermostat, which keeps the temperature of the preheat-
ing water into the engine at about 70°C.
