Notes

Engine note: Wärtsilä 34DFC, Standard/Standard/Standard/TC1&TC2/Standard

Combustion air system note: At ISO 15550 conditions (ambient air temperature 25°C, LT-water 25°C)
and 100% load. Flow tolerance 5%.

Exhaust gas system note: At ISO 15550 conditions (ambient air temperature 25°C, LT-water 25°C).
Flow tolerance 5% and temperature tolerance 10°C in gas mode
operation. Flow tolerance 8% and temperature tolerance 15°C in diesel
mode operation.

Heat balance note: At 100% output and nominal speed. The figures are valid for ambient
conditions according to ISO 15550 except for LT-water temperature, which
is corresponding to charge air receiver temperature 45ºC in gas operation.
With engine driven water and lubricating oil pumps. Tolerance for cooling
water heat 10%, tolerance for radiation heat 30%. Fouling factors and a
margin to be taken into account when dimensioning heat exchangers.

Fuel system note: At ambient conditions according to ISO 15550 and receiver temperature
45 °C. Lower calorific value 42 700 kJ/kg for pilot fuel and 49 620 kJ/kg for
gas fuel. With engine driven pumps (two cooling water pumps, one
lubricating oil pump and pilot fuel pump). Tolerance 5%. Pressure values
in the list are given either as gauge- or absolute- pressures, the values
unit is marked with (g) or (a). If there is only kPa written it is considered as
kPa (g).

Fuel gas system note: Fuel gas pressure given at LHV = 36MJ/m³N. Required fuel gas pressure
depends on fuel gas LHV and need to be increased for lower LHVs.
Pressure drop in external fuel gas system to be considered. See chapter
Fuel system for further information.

Lubricating oil system note: Pressure values in the list are given either as gauge- or absolute-
pressures, the values unit is marked with (g) or (a). If there is only kPa
written it is considered as kPa (g).
High temperature cooling water With an external actuated HT thermostatic valve, the default set point
system note: should be 91 °C with following exceptions:1) 1-circuit engines operating on
HFO as main fuel can have set point 96 °C at TE402/TE403, jacket outlet
(run hotter for mitigating risk for cold corrosion).2) if HT temperature
control valve on engine (self-actuated, wax type), then the typical set point
is selected so HT outlet temperature from engine is between 91–96 °C.
Pressure values in the list are given either as gauge- or absolute-
pressures, the values unit is marked with (g) or (a). If there is only kPa
written it is considered as kPa (g).

Low temperature cooling water Pressure values in the list are given either as gauge- or absolute-
system note: pressures, the values unit is marked with (g) or (a). If there is only kPa
written it is considered as kPa (g).

Compressed air system note: Minimum pressure for slow turning is 1800kPa. Pressure values in the list
are given either as gauge- or absolute- pressures, the values unit is
marked with (g) or (a). If there is only kPa written it is considered as kPa
(g).
