In doing so, it is often necessary to consolidate conflicting requirements such as low pollutant emission and high engine power output. All Volkswagen Marine boat engines comply with the Bodensee Schifffahrtsverordnung Stufe 2 (Lake Constance Shipping Ordinance, Stage 2) (BSO II).
Attempts to reduce the nitrogen emission increase the proportion of other exhaust gas constituents. In Volkswagen Marine boat engines, the lowest possible exhaust emission has been achieved by specific design of the combustion chamber and of the piston recess as well as the matching and coordination of the injection nozzles.
Exhaust turbocharging Fundamental principle of exhaust turbocharging The aims of supercharging by means of a turbocharger are: • Higher torque and • Increased engine output By compressing the intake air, more air and thus increased levels of oxygen enter the combustion chamber with each intake stroke.
Page 55
Exhaust turbocharging There are two specific problems involved in the use of a conventional turbocharger. • The energy of the exhaust gas is too low in the lower engine speed range. The turbine wheel does not reach the rotary speed necessary to sufficiently compress the air.
Exhaust turbocharging Turbocharger with variable turbine geometry The turbocharger installed in Volkswagen Marine boat engines operates with variable guide vanes. Advantage • By correspondingly influencing the exhaust flow, the optimum boost pressure is made available virtually over the entire engine speed range.
Page 57
Exhaust turbocharging Functional description Fundamental principle A gas flows through a narrow pipe faster than through a pipe without a constriction. The prerequisite is that the same pressure is applied in both pipes. This physical principle is utilized by the turbocharger with variable turbine geometry for the purpose of achieving a constant boost pressure in virtually all engine speed ranges.

The seawater pump pumps the seawater through the intercooler, thus cooling the air compressed by the turbocharger.
Exhaust gas temperatures of a diesel engine can reach up to 800°C. In order to keep the surface temperature at a low level, the exhaust header in Volkswagen Marine boat engines is cooled by the coolant circuit. The dissipated heat is then transferred in the main heat exchanger to the seawater.
