According to running data of those vessels exhaust temperature is certainly higher than that of checked at our shop. The biggest difference between shop trial and in service is surrounding engine. Auxiliaries engine, boiler etc. are operated in engine room. And this surrounding tends to cause higher temperature and lack of air compared with that of our shop. Inquired capacity of mechanical ventilation is increased in the design process to make up the air. However it is difficult to make similar condition as in shop. The result of our simulation, exhaust temperature in engine room is about 50°C higher than that of in shop. And it almost matches actual circumstance. What is the allowable exhaust temperature? This depends on the endurance of exhaust valve seat. Both of users and makers have considered ‘the exhaust temperature should be maintained less than 400°C at cylinder outlet’ as a common sense until now. However recently —especially vessels that are taken measures against low-grade-fuel— structure and materials of combustion chamber surrounding, exhaust stem and seat has been changing, which falls temperature of the structure, Reference the chart of next page about thermal distribution of present engine and old type one. The chart shows that the distribution of present engine has declined in the same exhaust temperature. In other words, it is possible to raise exhaust temperature as much as the remainder. Actually since thermal endurance of materials of exhaust stem and seat have been improving, it is possible to rise exhaust temperature.Ait °C As EXHAUST VALVE = "67 developed Present DH38-1800PS A31~1800PS Exhaust temperature Exhaust temperature Cyl Outlet 375°C Gly.

However poor maintenance causes bad combustion and bad combustion increases thermal change and unbalance. RAEI : eT NRA ES ACH-0003 Hest-1 — WT@2000-6-17
