MAN B&W ME-GI. Dual fuel low speed engine

Transcription

1 Dual fuel low speed engine

2 The ME-GI Engine Supreme fuel flexibility The technology used in the design of the new two-stroke ME-GI engine combines MAN Diesel & Turbo s ME-C design with the GI-design from the first MAN B&W dual fuel engine the 12K80MC-GI-S. Originally constructed in 1994 to produce electricity in Chiba in the Tokyo Bay area, the GI engine concept has demonstrated a high level of reliability, availability and saftey when operating in gas mode. 2

3 The GI designation indicates that it is a modification of the MAN B&W ME engine. In contrast to the GI engine concept from the Chiba power plant, this system is electronically controlled, which simplifies the GI design, minimises the cost of the dual fuel engine and provides the system with a large degree of adaptability for meeting future emission regulations. 1.

4 Benefits Highest thermal efficiency of any system on the market for propulsion of LNG carriers Flexible burning of HFO/GO/DO and gas any HFO/gas ratio can be burned once a small amount of fuel oil is injected to ignite the gas A wide range of gas qualities can be employed since there is no requirement for the methane number and no maximum limit for the hydrogen content Uses conventional two-stroke MAN B&W engine technology with its inherent high reliability, low maintenance and simplicity The diesel combustion principle eliminates the risk of knocking, and gives a more stable combustion without pressure fluctuations Can be retrofitted on existing ME, ME-B and ME-C engines Reduced CO 2, NO X and SO X and particulate emissions when operating in gas mode Can operate in conjunction with a waste heat recovery system Maintenance of both GI and gas supply systems can be covered by PrimeServ Optimal engine layout and operation profile coordinated with gas fuel equipment suppliers Able to meet Tier III, when combined with the EGR system (exhaust gas recirculation). 4

6 Emission Having a gas-burning two-stroke engine aboard an LNG carrier is a market breakthrough for low speed diesel engines. It opens a number of possibilities for future applications, not just for LNG carriers but also other vessel types. The future may well see bulk carriers, tankers, ferries and container ships fitted with dual fuel ME-GI prime movers. However, prior to this, an obvious market for the ME-GI engine type is aboard LPG carriers where the LPG cargo itself, featuring gases such as propane and butane, can be exploited. As such, this means that the concept applied to ME-GI engines aboard LNG carriers can similarly be employed aboard LPG carriers. Some other possibilities also exist within the stationary market for dual fuel engines to produce clean power. Powering the engine by gas with little or no sulphur content, instead of HFO, leads to a cleaner system as traces of the SO X sulphur oxides are accordingly found in only negligible amounts in the exhaust gas. Particulate amounts are also reduced considerably as are NO X and CO 2 totals. The ME-GI engine therefore possesses inherent advantages of reducing emissions. Fuel oil and gas fuel prices are changing. However, by utilising the ME-GI engine, full fuel flexibility and the highest efficiency are available regardless of the actual price level of fuels on the market. 6
