1.3 Summary Description of the System


BPPC/SDD-10
Page 4 of 23

The New Sulzer Diesel Engine Unit is a medium speed, 16 cylinder, vee-form 50 , 4-stroke engine.
It uses two types of fuel (DO and HFO). Light Fuel Oil (DO) is used during engine Start-
up/Stopping while Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) is utilized during continuous operation when heating
steam is available. The engine is equipped with fuel injection pump and fuel injectors for each
cylinder and turbochargers to supply charged air to the engine.

The engine is started by starting air at 30 bars. Pressurized air is introduced into the cylinders
through the air distributor and starting air valve. As the engine crankshaft rotates, light fuel oil is
simultaneously fed to the engine cylinders via injection pumps and injectors. As soon as the speed
reaches 100 rpm and the engine is evidently firing, the starting air supply is cut-off.

The engine is a four-stroke compression-ignition engine. A power stroke is produced on every


complete cycle. The power stroke takes place in each cylinder once in every two revolutions of the
crankshaft.

The four stroke of the piston are intake, compression, power and exhaust.

On the intake stroke, the piston moves down, creating a void. Charged air from the turbocharger
enters the intake valve into the combustion chamber. The intake valve and exhaust valve closed and
piston compresses the charged air into the combustion chamber.

As the piston approaches the top (about 13 before the piston reaches the top dead center) of its
compression stroke, atomized fuel is injected into the cylinder. The high temperature surfaces at the
top of the piston as a result of compression and the presence of oxygen will ignite the fuel oil, thus,
creating a combustion. The resulting pressure forces the piston downward or power stroke.
Towards the end of the power stroke, the exhaust valve opens to allow the product of combustion to
escape.

On its exhaust stroke the piston moves up and drives out the products of combustion. Near the end
of the exhaust stroke and usually before the exhaust valve is closed, the inlet valve is opened in
preparation for the cycle to be repeated.

A fuel injection pump is provided in every cylinder of the engine to pump fuel oil at high pressure
and at the same time regulates accurately the amount of fuel being feed to the fuel injectors.
Atomized fuel is feed to the engine cylinders by the fuel injectors.

A motor driven turning gear is provided at the driving end of the engine to rotate the crankshaft or
running gear (piston connecting rod, etc.) when the engine is shutdown.

The turning gear is manually engaged in the ring gear of the flywheel. Before engine starts, the
turning gear is operated to turn the crankshaft at least two revolutions with the cylinder indicator
cocks opened. This is done to release water, oil, etc, possibly accumulated in the engine cylinder
detect piston seizure, and to initially lubricate engine moving parts. Turning gear can be operated
locally.

The engine is equipped with protective devices to trip the unit during abnormal situations.
BPPC/SDD-10
Page 5 of 23

An electronic governor speed system is provided in the unit to regulate and control main engine
speed and load during operation. It consists of load sharing unit, control unit, power unit for the
actuator, connection unit, power supply unit and the actuator. The actuator is driven by the gear of
the governor drive.

The Cut-out Servomotor shuts the engine down or prevents its fuel injection when starting is
attempted if and when the lubrication oil system is not under the required pressure.

The Electro-pneumatic Overspeed Safety Cut-out in the event of overspeed, the engine is not
shutdown but only brought to a lower speed and then released again.

The Mechanical Overspeed Safety Cut-out functions in case the electro-pneumatic overspeed safety
cut-out should not actuate if speed reaches in excess of the switching valve of the electro-pneumatic
safety cut-out.

The engine is cooled with the following Engine Water Cooling Systems namely: Low Temperature
Water (Circuit 19), High Temperature Water (Circuit 21) and Fuel Valve Cooling Water (Circuit
22). The Low Temperature Water System provides cooling water to 2nd Stage Charge Air Cooler.
High Temperature Water System supplies cooling water to 1st Stage Charge Air Cooler, Cylinder
Heads and Turbocharger while Fuel Valve Cooling Water provides cooling to fuel injectors during
combustion process and heating fuel injectors when engine stopped on HFO.

The engine is lubricated with Cylinder Lube Oil System (Circuit 25) for cylinder liner lubrication
and Lube Oil System (Circuit 23) for bearing lubrication.

3.0 MODES OF OPERATION

3.1 Start-up

The engine can be started at the Emergency Control Cabinet at the engine room, at the OCW panel
and in the OIS control room. After Engine auxiliaries to support the engine operation were already
placed in service.

3.2 Normal Operation

During normal operation, the electronic speed governor controls the operation of the engine unit. It
maintains a constant engine speed for all load changes within the capacity of the engine.

Operating parameters shall be monitored continuously and maintained within the required limit to
ensure smooth operation.

3.3 Shutdown

Shutdown of the engine can be performed by shifting the fuel feed from HFO to DO. The HFO on
