Differences between MC/MC-C and ME/ME-C engines

The electrohydraulic control mechanisms of the ME engine replace the following components of the conventional MC engine:

• Chain drive for camshaft
• Camshaft with fuel cams, exhaust cams and indicator cams
• Fuel pump actuating gear, including roller guides and reversing mechanism
• Conventional fuel pressure booster and VIT system
• Exhaust valve actuating gear and roller guides
• Engine driven starting air distributor
• Electronic governor with actuator
• Regulating shaft
• Engine side control console
• Mechanical cylinder lubricators.

The Engine Control System of the ME engine comprises:

• Control units
• Hydraulic power supply unit
• Hydraulic cylinder units, including:
• Electronically controlled fuel injection, and
• Electronically controlled exhaust valve activation
• Electronically controlled starting air valves
• Electronically controlled auxiliary blowers
• Integrated electronic governor functions
• Tacho system
• Electronically controlled Alpha lubricators
