THIS PRESENTATION IS INTENDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. Involvement of Wärtsilä in slow steaming trend Though many ship owners and operators acted on their own responsibility, Wärtsilä was involved to create guidelines for operation with slow steaming • Service bulletin RTA 79.2 /RT-flex 08.2 on low load operation • Active experience exchange with operators • Offering of optimized engine tuning for slow steaming Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Involvement of Wärtsilä in slow steaming trend • Service bulletin RT-148 Cylinder lubrication at low load operation • Use of intermediate BN lubrication • Service bulletin RT-93 Piston running behaviour at low load operation Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Key areas of attention for low load operation Concerns of continuous operation at reduced load operation • Incomplete combustion – Poor atomisation with lower injection pressure (only RTA) – Increased fouling and carbon deposits likely • Lower airflow leading to high exhaust gas temperatures – Critic – at region after auxiliary blowers cut out / before cut in – Possibility of very high exhaust, thus component temperatures • Cold corrosion in exhaust system (pipes and boiler/economizer) with auxiliary blowers on – Through condensation of corrosive vapours – Possible when observing very low engine temperatures during very low load operation – Main concern presented is Exhaust Gas Boiler tube stack • Piston running behaviour Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Low load operating experience Endurance tests Few deposits on turbocharger and exhaust system components • Approx. 1200rhrs 10 – 11% load • Regular loading up for nut shelling and soot blowing • Optimised Cylinder Oil feed rate based on inspections Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Low load operating experience Good condition in piston underside, combustion chamber & economizer Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Feedback from customers General customer statement: • Unexpected low troubles with slow steaming Technical issues: • Generally stable engine conditions • No troubles with exhaust gas system (fire, fouling, …) • No large deposits in combustion chamber • Turbocharger efficiency kept by regular cleaning and load ups • Economizers with good behaviour • Care to be taken for proper cylinder lubrication (feedrate & BN) Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Recommendations for low load operation Avoid incomplete combustion • Ensure good combustion through optimal spray characteristic • Ensure correct injector nozzle condition • Cracking pressure correctly set • Look for carbon deposits on and around nozzle indicating poor spray • Maintain higher fuel temperatures • Aim to achieve lower viscosities, 12,13 cSt Advantage of RT-flex engine with high injection pressure at any load Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Recommendations for low load operation Avoid cold corrosion and fouling – When possible, keep exhaust gas temperatures above 230°C – Avoid temperatures below 160°C at economizer outlet – Regular load up to 70% load (2 times per week recommended – better few times with slow load changes than often with quick load changes) – Ensure good injection equipment – Soot blowing of economiser – The turbocharger(s) should be cleaned according maker’s recommendations – Inspection of manifold and turbo grid periodically – More regular piston underside inspections and cleaning necessary to confirm correct lubrication rate Avoid hot engine – When possible, keep exhaust gas temperatures before TC below 450°C to avoid excessive combustion chamber temperatures and high temperatures after TC – Ensure good TC efficiency through regular load up and washing of turbocharger Recommendations for low load operation Further suggestions & field experiences • Observing turbocharger speeds at a constant load over the period of slow steaming can provide an indication of fouling of the engine • Increased turbocharger speeds can indicate nozzle ring fouling • Can be avoided by regular loading up and cleaning according to service bulletin • Current to electric motors of auxiliary blowers • Avoid loads with on and off operation of auxiliary blowers put on auxiliary blower in permanent mode • When operating in manual operation, caution should be take not to exceed normal blower cut in and out pressures, thus rated current of motor • Electrical starter cabinet may need observation / external ventilation when blower operating continuously Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Recommendations for low load operation Exhaust gas boiler operation • Reduced steam generation at low load • At very low loads, exhaust gas boiler is not operational • Auxiliary boiler might be required to generate steam • Fouling of boilers • From several customers no troubles with boiler operation confirmed • Good operation with exhaust gas temperatures down to 220°C reported – limit is 160°C on exit side • If required, bypass of exhaust gas boiler can reduce soot build, and oil fired auxiliary boiler to be used Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Recommendations for low load operation Ensure good piston running behaviour • Higher cooling water temperatures – Reduces condensation (and thermal stresses) – H.T. jacket maintain in highest possible temperature range (towards 95°C) • Search for optimum cylinder oil feed rate – Regular inspections – Feed rate adjustment depending upon liner / ring condition, sulphur content of fuel, cooling water temperature and efficiency of scavenge air cooler and water separator – Watch for hard calcium deposits or overly wet ring pack – Lower liner wall temperatures may increase condensation, therefore sufficient lubrication is necessary to avoid corrosion • Careful load up Load-up should be done very carefully in order to avoid adverse piston running condition(Service Bulletin RT-84) Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Piston running experience with slow steaming Black marks on liner running surface due to low load operation • Distributed across running surface • Described as calcium sulphate and soot adhering to surface • Removed upon load up of engine (can leave lighter/white patches) • Adjust lubrication oil feed rate Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Piston running experience with slow steaming Cases of CC ring damage • Combination of very low load and high sulphur content (>3%) • Ring appears slightly spongy, cracks develop and open • Appearance of defined area with adhesive wear Conclusion: • Increase of feed rate at low load operation and high sulphur content service bulletin RT-93 Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Ring recovery example on

Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Performance optimisation: Slow Steaming Upgrade Kit • • • • Turbocharger cut-off at low engine loads Increased scavenge air pressure Higher fuel efficiency at low load Fully automated control of the valves Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos “FAST” nozzle benefits Reduced fuel operating costs by 1% • Fuel consumption expected to reduce by nearly 1 % at part load Reduced maintenance costs • Improved combustion lead to less fouling in the exhaust gas ways and boiler, reducing frequency of cleaning • Less deposits in combustion chamber may increase piston running component lifetime and improve their behaviour Environmental friendliness • Reduced HC and CO emissions • Reduced CO2 emissions at part load *Currently available only for RT-flex engines Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos Wärtsilä 2-stroke / D.Antonopoulos First vessel order - Wärtsilä 2s low-pressure DF engine Owner Shiptype Service speed Shipyard Order date Ship delivery Engine type 38 © Wärtsilä Terntank Rederi A/S, Sweden 15000 tdw Tanker, 2 vessels 14.5 kn AVIC Dingheng, China November 2013 Feb and May 2016 5RT-flex50DF, CMCR 5750 kW / 99 rpm Concept A few key technologies make the difference...
