2.2.7 Diesel United Ltd. (hereinafter called DU); (1) The new kind of product and new technology developed in 2007; DU manufactures Diesel United-Wartsila RTA and RT-flex engine as the low speed marine main engine, and Diesel United-S.E.M.T PC engine as the medium speed 4 stroke main engine for marine and land purposes. RT-flex engine (under operation); DU manufactures the electronically controlled type low speed 2 stroke engine which is adopted the common rail method developed by Wartsila Switzerland Ltd. (hereinafter called WCH) since 1981. Since 6RT-flex58TB engine (12,000kW) went into service in August 2003 and it was proven that the common rail type electronically controlled engine was gifted with the environmentally excellent capacity and high reliability, DC has produced 4 kinds of engine which were 12RT-flex96C engine (61,900kW, went into service in December, 2004), 6RT-flex50 engine (9,720kW, went into service in January, 2006) and 7RT-flex84TD engine (27,160kW, went into service in August, 2006), and all these kinds of engine have been satisfactorily operated.

Low NOx mode; As for flex engine, it is possible to change to low NOx mode with operation of single button, taking use of the characteristics of common rail system of electronic control. At low NOx mode, the worsening of fuel consumption rate is limited to the most minimum level and the exhaust rate of NOx is reduced by making fuel valve to inject sequentially (to control the injection timing of each injection valve by one cylinder), by making the pressure of fuel rail to flexibly adjust. In actual shore operation of 11RT-flex96C engine equipped with low NOx mode, about 20% reduction of exhaust rate of NOx from the present rate was actually verified. The fuel injection pattern of sequential injection is shown in Fig.2.2-12, and the pattern of heat release is shown in Fig.2.2-13. It is possible to hold the increase of heat release rate and to reduce the emission of NOx by controlling the respective start timing of each fuel valve (3 valves are provided for 96C) of cylinder.

2.2.9 Hanshin Diesel Works, Ltd. (hereinafter called Hanshin Diesel); (1) The new kind of product and new technology developed in 2007; The electronic control engine; The reductions of NOx and CO2 are the global requirement of the society. It has become common subject for each company to prevent the products capacity from becoming worse (specially fuel consumption rate) as minimum as possible and to lower the exhaust rate of NOx, and Hanshin Diesel considers that the electronic control system is the effective method in order to make compatible the subjects which are contrary to each other. As for this subject, Hanshin Diesel has carried out the research and development throughout 2 years of 2006 and 2007 as the works subsidized by Nippon Foundation and Japan Marine Equipment Association, and they have completed the collection of the various data concerned and have been continuing the research with a view to install the said system on the actual engine for commercial use in future. In this system the timing of fuel injection and the open-and-close timing of air suction/exhaust valve can be optionally fixed by use of the electronic control technology. Although this technology has been already established in regard to 2 cycle engine and medium speed engine etc. and it has already been commercially developed as well, there has been no example so far that it has been applied for the 4 cycle engine of Japan original. The structure of 4 cycle engine of Japan original is simple and the maintenance is easy, and therefore, this technology has been widely adopted mainly for domestic coastal ships. Under the situation, Hanshin Diesel aims at further reductions of NOx and CO2 with the adoption of the electronic control technology to this type of engine. As regards the electronic control method, there are two kinds, that is to say, the common rail method which controls direct injection by pressurization of fuel oil and the unit pump method which hydraulically controls fuel injection pump and piston driving suction/injection valves. As regards this electronically controlled system developed this time, the unit pump method has been adopted for the first time to 4 cycle engine, because it is possible to drive fuel injection and suction/exhaust valves by the same hydraulic oil, because the pressure of hydraulic oil is low and highly reliable, and because the parts of engine are partially changeable by the parts of the existing engine and retro-fitting is comparatively easy. Fig.2.2-15 shows the oil circuit of electronically controlled engine.

Hanshin Diesel has been in charge of hydraulic oil system, fuel, actuator of suction/exhaust valves, test operation and evaluation, and Nabtesco Corporation has been in charge of control system, fuel and selection of servo valve of suction/exhaust valves, and the Kyushu University has been in charge of analysis of fuel combustion, performance simulation and advice to test operation. In order to speed up the development, the numeral analysis soft for analyzing control system has been introduced for the development and also the elementary test of oil pressure system was carried out on the test base prior to study of the actual system unit. (2) The production results in 2007; Hanshin Diesel manufactures original low speed 4 cycle engine, medium speed 4 cycle engine and MAN 2 cycle engine. The production results in 2007 are described in Table2.2-11. It should be added that all of engine produced by Hanshin Diesel were manufactured as marine propulsion main engines. The remarkable point is that the output per unit of engine has been in upward tendency year by year, and the increase of production output has been bigger than the increase of the production number.

(hereinafter called MES): As regards the super-large main engine, the number of K98MC/MC-C substantially exceeded the production number of the previous year. The reason is because the number of 12K98MC-C for China and Taiwan has increased. With respect to the medium engine, it is a remarkable tendency that the number of 60MC/MC-C has increased in the last few years. MES has regularly introduced an assembly line production method (Tact production system) where 50MC-C, many of which had been ordered in the past, can be efficiently produced. (1) The new kind of productthe new technology developed in 2007; New technology; As their characteristic tendency, Japanese shipbuilding industry has been inclined to obtain the orders of series of ships which deliveries are over several years, and therefore, there was not any new kind of engine developed in 2007. As the technology that the surplus efficiency of turbocharger to be efficiently used, MES has conducted the development of THS (Turbo Generator Unit) and made public at the grand meeting of CIMAC VIENNA after the shop test had been completed. Fig.2.2-19 shows the concept of THS. It is aimed that the power is taken out from shaft of turbocharger by oil pressure, for instance, to be utilized as the source of oil pressure of ME engine, and conversely to supplement the lowered capacity of turbocharger by oil pressure created by ME engine as shown in Fig.2.2-19.

Although RU / RH type among the radial type turbochargers has slightly increased, the turbochargers of the most new TPS or AT14 types have substantially increased for auxiliary machinery and main engines of tub boats. On the other hand, among the axial type turbochargers, the traditional VTR has been inclined to decrease a little succeeding the previous year, but the most new TPL has increased for marine engine and large auxiliary machinery etc. In the matter of the turbochargers for the large-sized container ships, TSU has delivered a number of TPL85-B type which has been biggest in size in the sales results in the domestic market, and also, TSU has delivered many turbochargers of TPL73/77/80-B types to bulk carriers and tankers. Fig.2.3-1 shows TPL .-B type turbocharger. As the turbocharger of next generation, ABB Turbo Systems Ltd. made public A100 series in May, 2007. A100 type turbocharger consists of three types, namely, A100-H series for high speed 4 stroke engine, A100-M series for medium speed 4 stroke engine and A100-L series for low speed 2 stroke engine, and the turbochargers of A100-H series and A100-M series for high & medium speed 4 stroke engines are capable to achieve 5.8 of compressor pressure rate, and the turbocharger of A100-L series for low speed 2 stroke engine is capable to achieve 4.7 of compressor pressure rate. Since it is anticipated that the higher compressor pressure rate than the present one will be required in order to satisfy the control of exhaust gas which will become more and more strict, it is expected that the demand of A100 series of turbocharger of next generation will become more strong in future. At first A140-H will be officially announced as the turbocharger of A100 series, and then, A100-M and A100-L will be released in turn.
Fig.2.3-1 Appearance of TPL .-B type turbocharger 2.3.1.3 Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (hereinafter called MES); In 2007 MES produced 27 units of turbocharger of NA type and 111 units of TCA type, in total 138 units, under technical cooperation with MAN Diesel SE, Germany, and the breakdown of each turbocharger is shown in Table2.3-3. The production number of the NA turbocharger has exceeded 1,600 units up to today, and TCA turbocharger, which had been newly developed and which installation had begun since 2003, has increased the production volume rapidly and occupied 80% of the total production number in 2007. Especially, the production number of TCA88 type turbocharger, which production had started in own shop, has been almost doubled with the increase of the production number of large engine. For the large engine which requires the installation of plural number of turbocharger, the licensor has developed TCA88-25 type turbocharger which capacity is increased by making the turbine and compressor larger without change of outside dimension from the standpoint of the less number of turbocharger being maintained and the economization of cost. 22

2.3.1.4 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Ltd. (hereinafter called MHI) MHI and Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd which is technical licensee of MHI manufactured 1,047 units in total of MET type turbocharger in 2007. Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. produced 204 units of only large turbocharger that is above MET66 type and installed on low speed diesel engine of own make. Since the type of MET60MA to fill the space between MET53 and MET66 which are of traditional sizes of turbocharger, has been placed in market in 2004, MET-MA series has expanded the line-up from small type to large type, and 7 frame sizes, 33MA, 42MA, 53MA, 66MA, 71MA and 83MA have been completely prepared in 2007. Also, the number of MET-MA series produced in the same year was 138 units in total. As the demand of the highly efficient turbocharger will increase in future due to the introduction of turbo compound system, MHI additionally provided the technology of MET-MA turbocharger with Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. in 2007. Accordingly, Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. is scheduled to manufacture the largest type MET90MA for the first time in 2008. MET-MA series have been so improved that the efficiency of turbocharger has increased with the reform of turbine, and at the same time, it has become possible to make cleaning of the both faces of nozzle ring only by removing the inside casing of gas inlet with the specialized tool. Fig.2.3-2 shows the appearance of gas inlet casing and nozzle ring of MET83MA type.
Fig.2.3-2 Appearance of gas inlet casing and nozzle ring of MET83MA type Also, the small turbocharger MET18SRC really placed in market in 2006 has expanded the production number up to 115 units in 2007. The external appearance of MET18SRC type turbocharger is shown in Fig.2.3-3. This turbocharger is adopted the radial type turbine of the newest design and installed on marine generator engine. MHI has developed the proto type hybrid turbocharger that the high speed motor generator is directly connected to the turbocharger, which is the new exhaust heat recovery system of diesel engine. Fig.2.3-4 shows the sectional view. By the way that the high speed synchronized motorgenerator of permanent magnetic type is connected direct to shaft end at compressor side of rotor shaft of MET42MA type 23
turbocharger, the maximum 250kW of electric power can be recovered at the time of the engine output 5MW. In regard to the exhaust heat recovery system of diesel engine, the system for which the exhaust gas power turbine is used, has been already practically used. This is what makes generator run by leading about 10% of exhaust gas of diesel engine to gas turbine. The hybrid turbocharger does not need the piping of exhaust gas or separate gas turbine, and it has an advantage that it can be used as a substitute for auxiliary blower by driving rotor of turbocharger as a motor.

(1) The new kind of product; Nabtesco Corp. has made public 2 kinds of governors, the governor for single screw, two- engine propulsion system and the governor equipped withFuel Save Mode. Under the circumstances that the fuel cost is surging, Nabtesco Corp. officially announced the governor which was additionally furnished the function of Fuel Save Mode in addition to the existing function of governor. The said governor controls the excess quantity of fuel injection generated during the change of rotation by suppression of the conventional way of control of fuel rack created frequently in response to the change of rotation and by the proper control of the movement of fuel rack. The governor for single screw, two-engine propulsion system has been additionally provided with the traditional equilibrium function of load. It is so designed that it can be driven to meet with the conditions, whichever the case is, the simultaneous operation of two engines or the operation of single engine, by the combination with the maneuvering gears of engine. 24
The balance control of engine load has been traditionally made by controlling the output shaft of governor with the equilibrium system of load which is separately provided, however, in this governor it has become possible to control the load balance by direct control of governor output of two sets of engine with use of the electronically controlled governor. Also, it can be adaptable to the load change upon clutch control in cooperation with the maneuvering gear of engine and to the operation of single engine in case the engine at one side has become abnormal. (2) The production results in 2007; Nabtesco Corp. has produced more than 400 sets of each of maneuvering gear of main engine and governor in 2007. 2.3.2.2 Woodward Governor (Japan), Ltd. (hereinafter called Woodward Governor) The present state of development and production of governor for 4 cycle diesel engine is described hereunder. Further, this report is made on the basis of the status of the domestic market in Japan of Woodward Governor. The status of development of governor; The diesel engine governors are mainly divided into the following kinds; i) Mechanical governor: The revolution speed of engine is censored by centrifugal force of pendulum and fuel oil control is made direct by its centrifugal force or through oil pressure servo mechanism. ii) Electric analog governor: The calculation part of governor is functioned by electric analog circuit and fuel oil control is made by oil pressure actuator etc. iii) : The calculation part of governor is functioned by computer and the fuel oil control is made by oil pressure actuator or electric type actuator. iv) Electronic fuel oil injection : There are several kinds such as electric unit injector system, electric unit pump system and common rail system etc. The direct injection timing of fuel oil and injection quantity are electrically controlled. The governor function is included within the system. Woodward Governor has no plan at present to newly develop mechanical governor, electric analog governor and oil pressure actuator, and the development has been concentrated on electronic digital governor, electric actuator and electronic fuel injection system. In case of electronic type digital governor, the control algorithm corresponding to each application is taken in and it has become possible to produce the system specialized for each client, but standardization has advanced and so the use for the special purpose has decreased. Further, as for the control dynamics there has been no problem of controllability with MAP control on operation condition of each engine. As to the electric type actuator which is combined to these controllers, the net work (CAN) is becoming standard too, and also, the integrated type of governor controller and actuator has been produced, and it is supposed to become the replacement of mechanical type governor in future. (2) The state of production; Fig.2.3-5 shows the production ratio of each governor for 4 cycle diesel engine produced by Woodward Governor in 2007.

Although the ratio shows no big change from the previous year, there is a tendency that the mechanical governor is decreasing, and it is being replaced by the electronic type. The mechanical type has been mainly applied to marine auxiliary machinery and the electronic digital controller has been mainly applied to land power generator. As for the electronic digital type, the combination with oil hydraulic actuator has decreased and it is being transferred to whole electric type actuator instead.
