Instruction Book for 35-42 MC Engines Volume I: `Operation'

This book forms part of a three volume set: Vol. I Operation Vol. II Maintenance Vol. III Components Descriptions the purpose of which is to describe the operational, maintenance and design features of the engines. In addition, the various pages, plates and item numbers can be quoted in correspondence, and when ordering spare parts. All references to this instruction book should include the following data: 1. 2. 3. 4. Name of vessel Engine No. >>, built by Page or plate number Item number (if any)

Example : M/S NYBO / 7730 B&W / 70402-42A As a consequence of the continuous development of B&W diesel engines, this instruction book has been made to apply generally to all the above-mentioned MC-type engines. This means that the descriptions given in the different chapters refer to standard systems. However, since each individual engine plant is built to a `contract specification', deviations may be found in a specific plant. Further details on the plant may be found in: Plant installation drawings Instruction book Vol. II Maintenance > Instruction book Vol. III Components Descriptions

Service Letters

In order to ensure the most efficient, economic, and up-to-date operation of the MAN B&W engines, we, and our licensees, regularly send out `Service Letters', containing first-hand information regarding accumulated service experience. The Service Letters can either deal with specific engine types, or contain general instructions and recommendations for all engine types, and are used as a reference when we prepare up-dated instruction book editions. Therefore, since new Service Letters could be of great importance to the operation of the plant, we recommend that the engine staff file them to supplement the relevant chapters of this instruction book.
