Introduction

This presentation is a guidance for ME engine with PMI offline and online system.

It is made for Chief Engineers working on the electrically controlled engine and not
familiar with the performance adjustments via the MOP screen.

This presentation explain how to use MOP screen to adjust the engine
performance.

How often an adjustment/check should take place is difficult to say.

Some ship owners have a 1 time/months routine, some more often.
It is up to the ship owner/superintendent/CE to decide.

The evaluation of performance in this presentation is only for training purpose only.

 If you have any question, please feel free to send e-mail

to [email protected]

Estimated engine load adjustment

Step 1. Take a PMI measurement and check estimated engine load on MOP. If the deviation is bigger
than 2% deviation, it can be corrected via fuel quality on the MOP screen.

Performance evaluation

Step 3. Take a engine performance

 Let’s say that the graph

from PMI measurement is
for our engine.

 Can you see which engine

parameter (Pi, Pcomp and
Pmax) is necessary to be
adjusted?

Pi Adjustment

Step 4. Based on the performance evaluation, let’s do Pi adjustment first.

 Is Pi balanced within the

tolerance (+/-) 0.5 bar on the
right picture? No.

 Is the deviation too big? Yes

 If the deviation is very high

and it will be necessary to
make extreme adjustments
on the MOP in order to get
an acceptable output, Pmax,
Pcomp, Pi. There is
something mechanical
wrong.

Pi Adjustment

Pi can be adjusted by using high or

low load offset button on MOP.

 Pi tuning:
High(low) load offset=
(Δ Pi/Pi-mean value)X100

 Example)
Decrease 0.5 bar on No.4 cyl.
Offset=-0.5/12.5X100= (-4.0)
Enter (-4.0) to high(low) load offset on
the cyl. No.4 on MOP

But, high load offset or Low load

offset?

See the next slide.

Pi Adjustment

 There are high load offset and low load

offset buttons to adjust Pi.

 If the load is higher than 50%, “High load

offset” is used. High load offset will little
change Pi at low load.

 If the load is below 50%, “Low load offset”

is used. Low load offset will little change Pi
at high load.

Pi must not be adjusted on the basis of

the exhaust gas temperatures after each
exhaust valve.

Pcomp Adjustment

Step 5. Take new engine performance if any adjustment is done on the previous slide.

 Is Pcomp within the tolerance

(+/-3) bar on the right
picture? Yes.

 Note it is usually not

necessary to adjust Pcomp.

 If Pcomp is unbalanced,
you may need to first check
the mechanical defect
before any adjustment.

 See next slide.

Pcomp Adjustment

 Let’s check the mechanical

parts first prior to the
adjustment as shown on the
right.

 If you think that Pcomp

adjustment is really
necessary, see the next
slide.

Pcomp Adjustment

 How much of Pcomp. Would you like to adjust?

Increase or decrease?

 P,comp tuning is done by entering a compression ratio

Offset:

C,Ratio= ΔPComp / (PScav+1)

(Reading from P.scav sensor is corrected to Absolute

value by adding athmospheric pressure, 1 bar)

 Example)
Decrease Pcomp on No. 7 cyl. 1.7 bar.

C.Ratio= -1.7/(1.77+1)=-1.7/2.77=-0.6

Enter (-0.6) by using Pcomp/Pscav button on No. 7 cyl.

on MOP.

Pmax Adjustment

Step 6. Take new engine performance if any adjustment is done on the previous slide.

 Is the Pmax balanced within

the tolerance (+/-) 3 bar on
the right picture? No.

 Is the deviation too big? Yes

 It will be a good idea to

check the fuel injection
equipment in this case. i.e.
worn fuel pump, leaking
suction valve, defected fuel
valve and etc.
Note that worn fuel pump or other
abnormal operating conditions
cannot be compensated.

Pmax Adjustment

 Pmax can be adjusted by entering Pmax bar

directly to Pmax button on MOP.

 Example)
Decrease 2.0 bar on No.6 cyl.
Enter (-2.0) to Pmax on the cyl. No.4 on MOP

 Applying an offset in Pmax at low load

below break point, may lead to too high Pmax
. at high engine loads.

 It is required for safe engine operation to

check the maximum pressures and re-adjust
if necessary when engine load is increased.

The “Pmax offset all” function is intended

used when engine is running above Pmax
Break Point. Executed at lower loads, it is
required for safe engine operation to check
the maximum pressure and re-adjust if
necessary when engine load is increased.
