Service & Operation Manuals

The officially released publication by Wartsila, a world leading company in providing industry with complete and effective power solutions for all marine applications; the document includes the major chapters addressing the automation and compressors, engines and gensets, BWM, i.e. Ballast Water Management Systems, exhaust gas cleaning equipment and gas Systems, gears and oil separating equipment, inert gas systems, power electric arrangements, ship propulsors, valves and pumping systems, seals and bearings, stern tubes, waste/oil/fresh water management arrangements, services, covering literally all technical aspects - and such approach has made the booklet very helpful for all industry players.

This project guide for the Wartsila 46F marine diesel engine is intended to provide necessary data and system proposals for the early design phase of subject engine installations. Its first issue was released by the manufacturer in 2007.

This document covers general data of the engine and outputs, technical data, operating ranges, engine description, piping design, installation and treatment, fuel oil and lube oil systems, compressed air and cooling water systems, combustion air and exhaust gas systems, turbocharger cleaning, exhaust emissions, automation, foundation, noise and vibration, power transmission, engine room layout, transport weights and dimensions, project guide attachments, unit conversion tables, collection of drawing symbols used in the engine drawings.

The operational manual for Synpol controllers released by ABB. These devices are used for the purpose of protection and control of various diesel engines and generators driven by them. This document provides valuable information on the most important functions of the device, technical data, necessary electrical diagrams and terminal boards.

The Synpol device is certified by most of the class societies. The second document is the Appendix containing following data - controller outline, controller case side and rear views, system outline, terminal board generator connection and relays, terminal board diesel and communication control, terminal board additional input/output, terminal board tacho and put-up, resistor, power supply etc.

This pack of files contains all necessary information on the Syncro ASM Analogue Addressable Marine Fire Control Panel. The User Manual for subject panel covers panel controls and operation, access to menu, routine maintenance. The Syncro ASM panel that complies with all requirements of Euro Standards EN54-2:1997 & EN54-4:1997 and is also fully capable to cover a max of sixteen zones with more than hundred devices for Apollo and Hochiki protocols.

Any number of devices could be allocated to any of the zones with any system configuration being easily accommodated. Each detection device is allocated a message of up to forty characters in order to assist in locating the devices. The panel is offering a remarkably extensive list of options and features for the monitoring and control of plant, sounders and equipment. The range of compatible devices includes optical and ionisation smoke sensors, heat sensors, multi-sensors, switch monitors and relay or bell controllers. Interfaces to the conventional detection systems could also be catered to use the zone-monitoring devices. This pack also includes such must have publication as the Operation Manual, Installation Manual and many more.

The loss of the material occurring on piston crowns which is actually more generally known as piston crown "burn-off will be discussed in this Service Bulletin. Introduction; Loss of material on piston crowns; Countermeasures to minimize the loss of material; Piston cooling water system; Conclusion; Service bulletins published for large bore RTA-type engines. The chemical elements Sulphur, Sodium & Vanadium commonly contained in the HFO, i.e. heavy fuel oil, burned in the two-stroke diesel engines are to be paid particular attention and deserve special consideration with regard to corrosive deposits which subsequently cause the material loss...

This instruction book starts with short introduction followed by the chapters dedicated to the cylinder lubricator drives and checking the relevant engine settings, nomograms, modifications commonly done to the basic settings, cylinder lubrication, practical adjustment of lube oil feed rate, lubricating quills with the accumulators. The last chapter contains the officially released service bulletins for the engines covered within this document, namely RTA-38 and RTA-48 type. In short, all required information will be found here so we would recommend it to the technical personnel.

This Wartsila service bulletin was officially released to address the possible troubles and proposed remedies for the electronic VIT, i.e. Variable Injection Timing. The book provides all necessary information relating to the improvements to be made to the components; the next chapter of the document new positioning unit complete/valve rail, while the fourth chapter is dedicated to the proposed technical remedies and some additional measures recommended by the manufacturer to be taken. Traditionally, the service bulletin released for the large-bore engines of RTA type are at the end of the volume.

The Wartsila service bulletin dedicated to the leakage oil collectors located in the air spring system of the exhaust valves. This document opens with the introductory information followed with the brief technical description of the return line of leakage oil coming from the air spring and of the working mode collector, function test of the collector, non-return valve installed in the air inlet pipe to the exhaust valve and, finally, bulletins released for the large bore diesel engines of RTA type. During regular service of the main engines some slight dripping of the oil and blow of air can be observed at the flow observation box...
