Fig. 22-01

During normal operation, the engine speed is controlled by a gover-

nor (item 1) which regulates the quantity of fuel injected in the cy-
linders, depending on the load and engine speed.
The governor control shaft, by means of a lever arm (item 3), actu-
ates the A side articulated rod (item 4), which regulates the articu-
lated rods on A & B sides, and the two injection control shafts.
All fuel racks of the injection pumps must be adjusted at the same
value to inject the same fuel quantity.

0936 Page 3
 22. Speed governor control mechanism W200

This governor shaft assembly regulates the injection pump rack po-
sition for engine bank.

4. Fuel rack
6. Control lever
7. Spring

Fig. 22-02

The movement from the control shaft assembly to the injection

pump fuel rack (item 4), is transferred through the control lever
(item 6) and the spring (item 7).
The torsion spring (item 7) enables the control shaft and conse-
quently, the other fuel racks to be moved to a “stop position”, even if
one of the racks has jammed. In the same way the torsion spring
(item 7) enables the regulating shaft to be moved towards fuel-on
position, even if an injection pump has jammed in a non- fuel
position.
This feature can be of importance in an emergency situation.
The engine can be stopped by means of the lever (item 9).
When the stop lever is moved to “stop position”, the lever (item 10)
actuates the lever (item 11) and control shaft assembly, moves the
injection pump racks to “stop position”.
The normal engine shutdown is made by the regulator which moves
the injection pump to governor stop position.
An emergency engine shutdown could be given by a safety device to
trip the electro-pneumatic valve of the 30 bars air circuit and moves
every fuel rack to stop position by means of a pneumatic cylinder on
every injection pump. A pneumatic cylinder actuates directly on the
fuel rack.

22.2 Maintenance

Caution : Special attention should be paid to ensure the good working of

the system. Indeed, a defect in the system may result in a disas-
trous engine overspeed or the engine may not be able to take
load.

1 The system should work with minimal friction and

clearance. Regularly clean and lubricate racks, bearings
(also self-lubricating bearings) and ball joints with a clean engine
lube oil.
2 The system should be as free from clearances as pos-
sible.Check clearances of all connections and replace the
ball joints if needed. Total clearance in the injection linkage
doesn't exceed 0.5 mm. In other cases, replace the ball joints .
3 Regularly check (in accordance with chap. 04) the adjust-
ment of the system, stop position over speed trip devices and star-
ting booster (see section 22.3).
4 When reassembling the system, check that all details are
placed in right position, that all nuts are properly tightened and to
torque, if so prescribed, and that all locking elements like pins, re-
tainer rings, lead seals are on place.

22.3 Injection fuel racks linkage adjustment

The injection pumps have a drilling (item 14) in the fuel rack (item
12) in addition to the engraved scale. The purpose of this dril-
ling is to make the injection rack adjustment between the different
engine cylinders easier. The best way for rack setting is to install
one rack positioning rod tool SPC 8620003 on each rack (item 13 or
13', see the Spare Parts Catalogue, chapter 860).

22.4 Goal of the injection fuel linkage adjustment

Warning : For the fuel rack setting of any individual injection pump, it is
prohibited to change cylinder temperatures. Check rack ad-
justment to the procedure described in section 22.5.

22.4.1 Goal of the linkage adjustment

Make sure that you introduce the same amount of fuel in the diffe-
rent engine cylinders during operation.
For any given actuator angle, all fuel racks must be set at exactly
the same position :
• In case the engine is in “stop position”, the actuator lever
must be in “0 position” and all fuel racks must be posi-
tioned between 1 and 3 mm of stroke (same value on each
injection pump).
• In case of engine in “manual stop position”, all fuel racks
must be in “0 position” (mm).

22.5.3 Injection fuel rack adjusting, A and B sides

(see fig. 22-06)
1 Disconnect the governor articulated rod from the gover-
nor (item 2)
2 Insert a positioning rod tool (item 13 and 13', fig. 22-05)
into the A1 and B1 cylinder rack holes.
3 Disconnect the B side articulated rod (item 5) by remo-
ving the screw of the ball join from the B side.
4 Pull the A side articulated rod (item 4) until the positio-
ning tool (item 13, fig. 22-05) comes in contact with the reference
ring of injection pump A1. Maintain the articulated rod in this posi-
tion, using an O-ring for instance.
5 Turn the ball join at both ends to adjust the length of the B
side articulated rod (item 5) until the positioning tool (item 13') co-
mes in contact with the reference ring (item 15) of the injection
pump of the B1 cylinder.
6 Re-connect the B side link rod (item 5) and check that
both positioning rod tools (item 13 and 13') are in contact (at the
same time) with the corresponding reference ring of the A1 and
B1 injection pumps (A1 and B1 fuel racks will now have the same
value).

Note : Now, do not touch the fuel rack adjusting of the A1 and B1 in-
jection pumps.

7 Insert a rack positioning tool in each fuel rack hole, and

make sure there is no clearance between the positioning rod and
the reference index of each pump (item 15). If necessary, adjust
by using the screw (item 16, fig. 22-04). (All fuel racks will now
have the same value).

Note : Use a rack positioning rod tool per cylinder.

22.5.4 Governor stop adjustment (see fig. 22-06)

1 Remove all rack positioning tools.
2 Pull the governor link rod (item 2) until all injection
pumps fuel rack are at "0 mm" position.
3 By turning the ball joins at both ends, adjust the length of
the governor linkage : fuel rack value must be between 1 and 3 mm
when the linkage is connected to the governor (in stop position).
4 Re-connect the governor articulated rod (item 2) to
the governor lever arm (item 3).
5 Check that the fuel rack of each injection pump are at the
same value between 1 and 3 mm in stop position.
6 Push the governor lever arm (item 3) in full injection
and check that all fuel racks have the same value.

Note : The two following operations (sections 22.5.5 and 22.5.6) must
be performed by a Wärtsilä representative (plumbing with a
Wärtsilä logo).

22.5.5 Mechanical load engine limitation

The engine is equipped with a stop screw (item 8) on the A bank of
the control shaft lever (item 19) to limit its maximum mechanical
load.
The stop screw is plumbed at the maximum load for a 24 mm fuel
rack value or less according to the specification.

The engine is equipped with an overspeed trip device which actu-

ates the pneumatic solenoid valve.
The tripping speed value must be adjusted to 15 % above the engine
nominal speed. The solenoid valve is supplied by the compressed air
tank to stop the engine in case of trouble.
To ensure engine safety, the compressed air tank is equipped with a
pressure sensor which stops the engine if the air pressure supplied
is lost.
When the solenoid valve is activated, the air pressure is fed to the
stop piston cylinders, which are fitted on the injection pump racks.
The solenoid valve is energized long enough to stop the engine com-
pletely.

22.6.2 Checking and adjustment of stop position

22.6.2.1 Checking of stop position
1 Set the stop lever in the work position and the terminal shaft
lever in the max. fuel position.
2 Release the overspeed trip device manually.
3 Check that the fuel rack positions is at "0" position.
22.6.2.2 Adjustment of stop position
• The electro-pneumatic overspeed trip device do not re-
quire any adjustment.
• If a fuel rack position of less 2 mm cannot be obtained,
check for wear.

22.6.3 Check of tripping speed

Note : This operation must be performed by a Wärtsilä representa-
tive.

Caution: Never increase the engine speed by more than 60 rpm above
the rated speed.

The tripping speed should be in accordance with the value written

in chapter 06.

22.6.4 Tripping speed

For the electronic speed measuring system, see instructions written
in Chap. 23.

22.6.5 Maintenance
22.6.5.1 Three-way solenoid valve
• If the solenoid valve is out of order, replace it by a new
one.
• If the valve does not move, clean all channels. Check the
valve piston.
• If air is leaking to the cylinders, replace the solenoid valve.
22.6.5.2 Stop cylinder (see fig 22-13)
• Check for wear.
• Check the tightness of the piston. Replace sealing by new
ones, if necessary. Take care not to deform the Teflon ring
outside the O-ring.
• Lubricate the sealing and piston with clean lube oil.
• Check that the piston does not stick.

22.7 Governor
22.7.1 General
The engine can be equipped with various governor alternatives de-
pending on the kind of application.

22.7.2 Hydraulic governor drive

The governor is driven by a separate drive unit, which, in turn, is
driven by the camshaft through helical gears. The governor is fas-
tened to this drive unit and connected to the drive shaft through a
serrated connection. The serrated coupling sleeve is secured with
spring pins.
The governor, with drive, can thus be removed and mounted as a
unit or the governor can be changed without removing the drive
unit.
Pressured oil is led through drillings in the bracket to the bearings
and to a nozzle for lubricating the gears.
a) Check at recommended intervals :
• Lube oil level in the hydraulic governor,
• Radial and axial clearances of bearings,
• Gear clearance,
• Oil drillings and nozzle to be opened,
• Serrated coupling sleeve to be firmly fastened to the shaft,
• Serration of coupling sleeve and governor drive shaft for
wear. Replace the parts if needed.
b) 22.7.3 Removal of governor
1 Loosen the terminal governor shaft (item 3) and governor
electrical connection, see fig. 22-01.
2 Open the four fastening screws on the governor base and pull
the governor vertically upwards. The governor must not fall or
rest on its driving shaft.

22.7.4 Mounting of governor (see fig. 22-01)

When mounting a governor, proceed as follows :
1 Mount the governor into position on the governor drive.
2 Peform the operations from sections 22.3 to 22.7.
