- 14/03/2008, Low Container Ship Speed Facilitated by Versatile ME/ME-C Engines
- Recently, fuel oil prices have risen to unprecedented levels, bringing fuel oil consumption of diesel engines more into focus than for a long time. At the same time, exhaust gas emissions in general and CO2 emission in particular are top priorities.
- 13/11/2007, LNG Carriers ME-GI Engine with High Pressure Gas Supply System
- This paper describes the innovative design and installation features of the fuel gas supply system for an LNG carrier, comprising multistage low temperature boiloff fuel gas compressor with driver and auxiliary systems, highpressure piping system and safety features, controls and instrumentation. The paper also extensively describes the operational control system required to provide full engine availability over the entire transport cycle. Written in coorporation with Burchard Compression
- 24/10/2007, Propulsion Trends in LNG Carriers, Two-stroke Engines
- Natural gas is a “clean” fuel compared to diesel and heavy fuel oil and, together with an increasing environmental responsibility, there is a rising demand for natural gas worldwide. Where it is not possible to transport natural gas by means of pipelines, the LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) carriers have to take over the transportation because natural gas in liquid form at atmospheric pressure only takes up 1/600 of the natural gas volume.
- 04/10/2007, MAN B&W Low Speed Large Bore Engines Now with Higher Power Concentration
- This paper will describe the updating of our S/K80ME-C and K90ME/ME-C engines from a technical and marketing perspective. Owing to the fact that the K types of these engine types were originally designed as offsprings of the L80MC and L90MC engines back in the 1980s, there is substantial cost down potential in updating as well as uprating the engines, also utilising the design features of today.
- 04/10/2007, MAN B&W Low Speed Small Bore Engines Now with Electronic Control
- With the new S50ME&B, which will be designated Mk 9, we have introduced a competitive engine designed for new modern hull designs, based on more efficient propellers with a lower optimum propeller speed. The engine will adopt the design features introduced on the smaller ME&B engines, and will be introduced with a mep of 21 bar at 117 rpm.
