1 Engine Summary X72DF 1.1 Engine capability and features Engine Summary The WinGD X72DF is a camshaftless, low-speed, reversible and rigidly direct- coupled two-stroke engine featuring a common-rail injection system. Table 1-1 X72DF summary values for Maximum Continuous Rating (MCR)
The whole engine can be controlled and operated electronically. This is made possible by the Flex system (see The Flex system, 1-9). Standard data collection and monitoring system. This is known as the WinGD Integrated Digital Expert (WiDE). An engine integrated second order longitudinal vibration compensator is available. This is known as the In- 6.1.2 tegrated ELectrical BAlancer (iELBA).

1 Engine Summary X72DF 1.3 Fuel operating modes 1.3.1 Operation in gas mode The engine operates in gas mode according to the Otto cycle with a pre-mixed lean air-gas mixture, which is ignited by a small amount of pilot fuel. The amount of injected pilot fuel used is approximately the same across the entire en- gine power range.

1 Engine Summary X72DF 1.3 Fuel operating modes 1.3.4 Changeover between operating modes The changeover between operating modes is the process of the engine changing between different fuel operating modes (see section 1.3, 1-6). Depending on the type of changeover between operating modes, the time re- quired will vary.

The fuel sharing mode must be contracted. It is an available option at an additional cost. Transfer Similar to WinGD diesel engines, changing the fuel input from HFO to either between liquid fuels MGO or MDO and vice versa can be done at any time (assuming HFO is per- mitted in the operating mode) without interruption of engine operation.

4.1 Twin-engine installation Twin-engine installation A vessel equipped with two separate main propulsion engines is considered a twin-engine installation.

4 Ancillary Systems X72DF 4.2 Cooling water system 4.2.1 Low-temperature circuit The LT cooling water circuit for the main engine provides cooling for the SAC, the LO cooler and the MDO/MGO cooler. For the main engine SAC, the automatic temperature control valve must be set to...
Arrangement 1 To maintain the required SAC inlet temperature, the automatic temperature con- trol valve of the central freshwater cooling system is set to 25 °C (WinGD speci- fication). In this arrangement, the ancillary plant and other cooler temperatures are controlled and maintained by this single temperature set-point.
This includes: • Circuit 1: The ME SAC is cooled with freshwater with a temperature set-point of 25 °C (WinGD specification). With this arrangement, only the ME SAC re- quires maximum design seawater flow for cooling. • Circuit 2: All other ME and ancillary plant coolers are cooled with freshwater with a set-point customised by the shipyard or ship designer.

4.2 Cooling water system To supply the cooling water system with the desired static pressure and compen- sate for the cooling water volume change during engine operation, WinGD pro- poses two possible solutions, namely installing either an expansion tank or a buffer unit.

4 Ancillary Systems X72DF 4.2 Cooling water system Buffer unit supply pump The buffer unit supply pump compensates for losses in the CCW system. This pump is automatically controlled by the water level in the buffer unit. It is also advisable to monitor the running period of the supply pump. Moni- toring of the pump running period will warn when the running period exceeds a pre-set value, indicating unusual water losses in the system.
4 Ancillary Systems X72DF 4.2 Cooling water system 4.2.3 Pre-heating To prevent corrosive liner wear when not in service or during short stays in port, it is important that the ME is kept warm. Warming-through can be provided by a dedicated heater, using boiler raised steam or hot water from the diesel auxilia- ries, or by direct circulation from the diesel auxiliaries.

4 Ancillary Systems X72DF 4.4 Fuel gas system Depending on the arrangement of the vessel, the Type C tank can also be ar- ranged top-side (on the deck) if this is preferred (see Figure 4-23). For example, this could be particularly useful if the hold space is used for other bulk materials.
LNG is forced to evaporate by an external heat source, the resulting gas is re- ferred to as Forced Boil-Off Gas (FBOG). For WinGD’s low-pressure X-DF en- gines this is at a maximum pressure of 16 bar (g). The fuel gas produced from the vaporiser can also feed the gensets by passing through a pressure reduction valve to match the required pressure.
4 Ancillary Systems X72DF 4.4 Fuel gas system Pressurised FGSS If an LNG tank is designed to withstand pressure (along with the FGSS), then generally the system will be less complex than a system with a non-pressurised tank (along with the FGSS).

This would result in compressor operation of a lower efficiency. • WinGD recommends selecting an LHV of 32 MJ/Nm for normal condi- tion. Even if designed for this LHV, the engine can still operate with high output if the fuel gas is supplied with an LHV of 28MJ/Nm (e.g.

This adjustment will ensure that the fuel gas pressure in the engine’s common-rail piping fits to the load command.
GVU performs a gas leakage test before the engine starts operating on fuel gas. WinGD supports two different types of gas valve units: The GVU without housing, e.g. GVU-OD™ (open design) from Wärtsilä (see GVU without housing Figure 4-33), must be installed in an explosion-proof GVU room.

SM-0261 Figure 5-1 Engine automation architecture DENIS WinGD’s standard electrical interface is DENIS, which is in line with approved propulsion control systems. DENIS The Diesel Engine CoNtrol and optImising Specification (DENIS) interface contains specifications for the engine management of all WinGD two-stroke marine diesel engines.
5.2.1 Interface definition The WinGD interface defines the division of responsibilities between engine builder and PCS and AMS supplier, enabling the authorised suppliers to adapt their systems to the common rail system engines. The data bus connection pro- vides clear signal exchange.
The intellectual property rights of this specification remain with WinGD. Hence the document is licensed only to the partner companies of WinGD developing propulsion control systems. These companies offer systems which are built ex- actly according to the engine designer’s specifications and are finally tested and approved by WinGD.

Axial vibration damper To limit the influence of axial excitations and reduce the level of vibration, all present WinGD engines are equipped with an integrated axial vibration damper. In most cases, this lowers the axial vibrations in the crankshaft to acceptable values, meaning no further countermeasures are required.
6 Engine Dynamics X72DF 6.6 Whirling vibration Whirling vibration Whirling vibrations are generated when the shaft rotates and goes into transverse oscillations. If the shaft is out of balance, the resulting centrifugal forces will in- duce the shaft to vibrate. This vibration is commonly known as whirling vibration, bending vibration or lateral shaft vibration.
WinGD can provide, on request, a simplified FE engine model to enable the shipyard or design institute to predict the influence of the engine forces and mo- ments on the ship hull.

7 Engine Emissions X72DF 7.1 Exhaust gas emissions Engine Emissions In 1973 an agreement on the International Convention for the Prevention of Pol- lution from Ships was reached. It was modified in 1978 and is now known as MARPOL 73/78.
Low-pressure SCR The SCR reactor is located on the low-pressure side, after the turbine. For low-pressure SCR applications, WinGD has developed a 2-stroke engine in- terface specification that complies with the known low-pressure SCR system pro- viders. Low-pressure SCR is typically larger in volume than high-pressure SCR, but more flexible in installation position, as any after-turbocharger position is ac- ceptable.
Integrating the SCR reactor before the turbine allows the reactor to be designed in the most compact way due to the higher density of the exhaust gas. WinGD has developed and is systematically deploying high-pressure SCR solu- tions for the complete 2-stroke engine portfolio with single- and multi-turbo- charger applications.
