vidual engines.
3) The manifold is to be vented to the open air, so
that the vent outlet is fitted with corrosion resist-
ant flame screen, and the clear open area of the
vent outlet is not less than the aggregate area
of the individual crankcase vent pipes entering
the manifold.
4) The manifold is to be provided with drainage
arrangement.
The ventilation pipe must be designed to eliminate
the risk of water condensation in the pipe flowing
back into the engine and should end in the open air:
▪ The connection between engine (C13 / C30)
and the ventilation pipe must be flexible.
▪ The ventilation pipe must be made with continu-
ous upward slope of minimum 5°, even when
the ship heel or trim (static inclination).
▪ A continuous drain must be installed near the
engine. The drain must be led back to the
sludge tank.

The crankcase ventilation flow rate varies over time,
from the engine is new/major overhauled, until it is
time to overhaul the engine again.
The crankcase ventilation flow rate is in the range of
3.5 – 5.0 ‰ of the combustion air flow rate [m³/h]
at 100 % engine load.
If the combustion air flow rate at 100 % engine load
is stated in [kg/h] this can be converted to [m³/h]
with the following formula (Tropic Reference Condi-
tion) :

Example :
Engine with a mechanical output of 880 kW and
combustion air consumption of 6000 [kg/h] corre-
sponds to :

The crankcase ventilation flow rate will then be in

the range of 19.2 – 27.4 [m³/h]
The maximum crankcase backpressure measured
right after the engine at 100 % engine load must not
exceed 3.0 [mbar] = 30 [mmWC].
