Diesel switch

  • Changeover from preheated HFO to cold MDO/ MGO and vice versa represents a risk of fuel pump sticking or seizure due to the very small clearances in the fuel pump.
  • The Diesel Switch is able to do the changeover in a controlled way so that rapid temperature deviations are avoided. 
  • The changeover between HFO and distillate fuels can give problems for the fuel equipment, the process will need a high degree of automation to avoid incidents. MAN Diesel now offers the Diesel Switch, which ensures the necessary the flexibility and safety when changing between HFO and MDO/MGO.

The principle of the Diesel Switch- 

  • MAN Diesel recommends to reduce the load to 25-40% to control the changeover. 
  • The Diesel Switch ensures a controlled and safe changeover independent of the engine load. 
  • The Diesel Switch operates on a combination of the temperature at the engine and the time.
  •  If the fuel temperature at the engine inlet exceeds 2 degrees/minute the Diesel Switch will give an alarm and put the process on hold.
  •  The process will be logged in the Diesel Switch so that it can be used as documentation to port authorities after the changeover.

The Diesel Switch offers:

  • Touch screen control panel
  • Control handle for the changeover
  • Safety
  • Data logging
  • Changeover valve 
  • Magnetic coupling
  • Integrated sensor for actual position 
  • Integrated sensors for end positions
  • Integrated connection box
  • Manual override 
  • Controlling an MGO cooler or chiller
  • Data logging of temperatures and pressures 
  • Remote operation with second touch screen

    I'm truly intrigued with your composing aptitudes and furthermore with the design on your weblog. Is this a paid subject or did you adjust it yourself? Whichever way keep up the decent quality composition, it is uncommon to see a pleasant blog like this one nowadays. Magnetic coupling

Manganese bronze is not typically used as a propeller material .Why

1. High cost: Manganese bronze is a costly alloy, making it less economical for large propellers. 2. Low strength-to-weight ratio: Compared to other propeller materials like nickel-aluminum bronze or stainless steel, manganese bronze has a lower strength-to-weight ratio. 3. Susceptible to corrosion: Manganese bronze can corrode in seawater, especially when exposed to high velocities and turbulence. 4. Poor cavitation resistance: Manganese bronze is more prone to cavitation damage than other materials. 5. Difficult to cast and machine: Manganese bronze is challenging to cast and machine, making it less desirable for complex propeller geometries. 6. Limited weldability: Manganese bronze has poor weldability, making repairs and modifications difficult. Nickel-aluminum bronze or stainless steel are commonly used for propellers due to their: - High strength and durability - Excellent corrosion resistance - Good cavitation resistance - Ease of casting and machining - Weldability

MAN B&W MC Engine VIT Pump

The pump is basically a jerk type with a plunger moving in a matched barrel, using two helical grooves machined in the plunger to control the end of injection by uncovering spill ports and causing the discharge pressure to drop rapidly, thus causing the needle valve in the injector to close. Oil is supplied to the barrel via the spill ports and a suction valve. The suction valve, situated at the top of the barrel opens when the pressure in the  barrel falls below the supply pump pressure; i.e. during downward stroke of plunger, while spill ports are covered by plunger. Replaceable erosion plugs  are fitted in the pump housing opposite the spill ports. The high pressure oil, spilling back, as the edge of the helix uncovers the s...

Main engine interlocks

Interlocks are provided so that the engine can be started or reversed only when certain conditions have been fulfilled. When there is a remote control of engines, it is essential to have interlocks. This reduces the possibility of engine damage and any hazards to the operating personnel. Turning gear Interlock . This device prevents the engine from being started if the Turning gear is engaged. Running Direction Interlock . This prevents the fuel from being supplied if the running direction of the engine does not match the Telegraph. Starting Air Distributor in end position . This prevents starting from taking place if the shifting of the Distributor has not been completed. Main Lube. oil pressure, Piston cooling pressure, Jacket water pressure, and important parameters must be above the required minimum. Auxiliary Blower Interlock . The Auxiliary Blower is provided in case of Constant pressure turbo charging. Air Spring pressure Interlock . In case of the present generation...
