When the seal ring 6 or 7 has to be removed from an axial detuner, proceed as follows: Switch off the bearing oil pump. Remove the oil drain pipe 18. Unscrew and remove the oil inlet pipes 14 and the piping for detuner monitoring internal and external from the upper casing 19. Remove the upper casing 19.

Axial Detuner: Dismantling and Assembling

Dismantling Remove the oil inlet pipe 14. Loosen screws 21 and remove the throttling valve 10. Pull both taper pins locating the upper and lower part of cylinder 1 and 2 by means of the withdrawing device which is part of the standard tools. For this purpose the taper pins have been provided with a thread of M10. Loosen and remove all the screws 5 and 3 (Fig. B). Loosen all screws 4 to the upper part of cylinder 1 and pull them out as far as possible.

Removal of the upper part of cylinder Fasten roller support 94310 to the face of the free end of the engine as shown in Fig. C. Screw the two eye bolts R into the upper part of cylinder 1, then join these by means of shackles and steel rope 94309 to a lifting tackle. Using lifting tackle carefully raise upper part of cylinder . Make absolutely sure that the upper part of cylinder slides out of the seal rings 6 and 7 without jamming, as otherwise the seal rings risk being damaged.

6 (7)
Removal of the seal rings Should the two-part seal rings 6 and 7 have to be replaced, loosen first self-locking nut 8 and remove allen screw 9. The sealing rings can then be turned out of their grooves in the lower part of cylinder 2 without any problems.

Checking the throttling valve When overhauling the axial detuner check also the condition of throttling valve 10. The spindle position has been locked by locking screw 12 and a locking plate. Changing the position of the throttling valve is forbidden. For pre-setting the spindle 11 has to be turned back by about four turns starting from the closed position. This adjustment must be verified on the basis of vibration measurements during sea trial; otherwise the spindle must be readjusted. The final adjustment has to be engraved on the name plate fitted to the upper part of the cylinder 1.

Should it become necessary to unscrew or replace a spindle for any reason, then the distance x must be measured first (Fig. E). The spindle has to be adjusted to the same distance on reassembling.

Remark

The spindle must not be turned back by more than 17 turns , that corresponds to a stroke of x = 35 mm.

When the above check brings to light any defect of throttling valve 10 then diaphragms 13 screwed into the throttling valve must also be checked for possible damage and replaced if necessary.

Attention

The engine must not be operated with the spindle removed!

Axial Detuner: Dismantling and Assembling

Assembling Badly worn or damaged seal rings 6 and 7 must be replaced. The seal rings are fastened by two allen screws 9 and self-locking nuts 8. Immediately before fitting them smear the seal rings with clean engine oil. Newly fitted seal rings must allow radial movement when fitted The assembling of the axial detuner is done analogously to dismantling but in reverse sequence. Pay the utmost attention when lowering upper part of cylinder 1 into place, to prevent seal rings 6 and 7 from being damaged. Before tightening screws 3 as well as 4 and 5 fit the taper pins for the upper part and lower part of the cylinder. Apply MOLYKOTE and tighten screw 4 between axial detuner and bedplate with a tightening angle of 45_ (see also group 03521). New packings must be used for the assembly of the throttling valve 10 and the oil inlet pipe 14.
