ENGINE
b. Gas operation
In Gas operation, the engine works according to the lean-burn Otto cycle. In this process the gas and air
is mixed before the inlet valves, during the air intake period. After the compression phase, the
gas-air mixture is ignited by a small amount of pilot fuel. The pilot fuel is pressurised, and fed
into the cylinders by a small common rail system. The combustion is fast, and after the working
phase, the exhaust gas valves open, and the cylinder is emptied of exhaust gases. The intake air is
turbocharged and intercooled.
When the engine is started in gas mode, it is started with pilot fuel injection only, without gas
admission. When the combustion is stabilised in every cylinder, the gas admission is activated.
d. Diesel operation
In Diesel operation pilot fuel injection is active, and the engine works according to the Diesel process. A
small amount of pilot fuel is injected to avoid clogging of the pilot fuel nozzles.
f. Engine Block
The engine block is made of nodular cast iron, and is cast in one piece. It incorporates the jacket
water manifold, the camshaft bearing housings and the charge air receiver. The crankshaft is
underslung-mounted on the engine block.
The bearing caps, also made of nodular cast iron, are fixed from below by hydraulically tightened
screws, and are laterally guided by the engine block both at the bottom and the top. The horizontal
side screws at the lower guiding are hydraulically tightened. Together this provides a very rigid
crankshaft bearing.
A hydraulic jack which is supported in the oil sump, makes it possible to lower and lift the main bearing
caps when inspecting the bearings. Lubricating oil is led to the bearings and piston trough this jack. A
combined flywheel/thrust bearing is located at the driving end of the engine.
The oil sump is of light welded design, and mounted below the engine block. It is sealed by Orings.
g. Crankshaft
The crankshaft is made of high tensile steel, and forged in one piece. It is fully balanced to counteract
bearing loads from eccentric masses. The high degree of balance results in an even and thick oil film for
all bearings.
h. Connection rod
The connecting rod is made of forged alloy steel and partially machined. All connecting rod studs are
hydraulically tightened. The gudgeon pin bearing is of bronze type with a steel shell. Oil is led to the
gudgeon pin bearing and piston trough the connecting rod. The connecting rod is of threepiece design,
which gives a minimum dismantling height and makes it possible to dismount the piston without
opening the big end bearing.
j. Cylinder liner
The cylinder liners are centrifugally cast from a special alloyed iron to create wear resistance and high
strength. The top collar of the cylinder liner is provided with bore cooling for efficient control of the
liner temperature. The liner is equipped with an anti-polishing ring at the top, to prevent bore polishing.
k. Piston
The piston is of composite type with a steel crown and nodular cast skirt. A piston skirt lubricating
system lubricates the piston skirt/cylinder liner. The piston top is oil-cooled by “the shaker effect”. The
piston ring grooves are hardened. The piston ring set consists of two compression rings and one spring-
loaded oil scraper ring with a running face. The piston rings are located in the piston crown.
l. Cylinder head
The cylinder head is made of nodular cast iron, and fixed to the cylinder block/liner with hydraulically
tightened bolts. Each cylinder head has two inlet and two exhaust valves; all valves are equipped with
rotators. The exhaust valve seats are directly water cooled. The valve seat rings are made of specially
alloyed cast iron with good wear resistance.
A “multi-duct” casting is fitted to the cylinder head. It connects the following media to the cylinder
head:
Charge air from the air receiver
Exhaust gas to the exhaust system
Cooling water from cylinder head to the return pipe
Fuel gas admission from the gas manifold to the air inlet port
o. Injection Equipement
The Dual Fuel system consists of a conventional fuel injection system for Light fuel oil or Heavy fuel
oil use, and a pilot fuel system for Light fuel oil use. The fuel injection valve is equipped with two
injectors, one for pilot fuel and one for back-up fuel.
pipes are located in a closed compartment with removable covers (“hot box”), providing maximum
reliability and safety.
The pilot fuel system comprises the following equipment:
Low-pressure pipes made of steel
Electronically actuated dual fuel injection valve (for back-up and pilot fuel injection).
Common rail high pressure pump
Double-wall common rail pilot fuel pipes
Pilot fuel oil filter
Start-up/running-in filters in the oil inlet line to each main bearing. These are removed after
commissioning.
Lubricating oil fine filter with an automatic continuous back-flushing filter
Centrifugal filter which cleans the back-flushing oil from the automatic filter
Lubricating oil cooler of fin tube type
Lubricating oil thermostatic valve of direct acting type

The engine automation system is a completely embedded management system, integrated with an
engine control system for electronically controlled fuel injection. The engine control system is
a distributed and bus-based system where the monitoring and control function is placed close to the
point of measurement and control. In this way, both the on- and off-engine wiring is significantly
simplified. Advanced diagnostics and control functions provide outstanding performance, and the need
for systems outside the engine is significantly reduced.
For the field bus interconnection, Wärtsilä is committed to open standards. The physical interface of the
engine control system is a standard Ethernet connection for general process data, to both the
WOIS workstation (Wärtsilä Operator’s Interface System) and the PLC systems. The system meets
even the highest requirements on reliability, with selective redundancy and fault-tolerant design.

surface of the foundation block.
