MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION MARCH 2004 ENGINE Before analysing the main characteristics of the engine relevant for its choice and suitability for the boat and the connection to the engine elements, we believe it is useful to identify the names of the engine components.
1.10 MARCH 2004 INTRODUCTION MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION Piston displacement The element which best distinguishes the engine is the “overall piston displacement” which represents the total volume of air moved by the pistons during one complete turn of the drive shaft. It represents also the theoretical quantity of air sucked by the cylinders during 2 revolutions of the drive shaft.
1.11 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION MARCH 2004 The driving torque M depends on the power according to: where: • M : driving torque [Nm] • n : rotation rpm [rad/sec] (1 rev per min = π/30 rad/sec) • N : power [kW] The formula shows that with equal power it is possible to install engines with high torque and low rota- tion speeds or vice versa, low torque and high rotation speeds.

In addition, IVECO provides the customers with the technical and commercial documentation concern- ing IVECO engines including the reference to the rules required for the correct choice of the engine. Figure 4 illustrates the power curves of an IVECO engine.
1.14 MARCH 2004 INTRODUCTION MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION The “specific consumption” represents the quantity of fuel used to obtain a unit of mechanical energy; it is expressed in g/kWh and derives from the formula: Where L is the volume in cm of the fuel having specific gravity y (in g./ cm ), consumed by the engine in time t expressed in seconds, while power N (in kW) is supplied at given rpm.

1.15 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION MARCH 2004 Since there are no established rules for the calculation of the heavy duty rate according to the load fac- tor, it is possible to consider the following elements: I Light work load factor below 50% I Medium work load factor from 50 to 70% I Heavy work...
1.16 MARCH 2004 INTRODUCTION MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION Engine duration The engine duration is identified by the relevant BE10 and is related to a given Load Factor (L.F.). Example: BE10 (L.F. - 0.7) = 10.000 h It shows that 90% of the engines working with a medium load factor of 70% exceed the operation duration of 10,000 h, without actions needed for the removal of their main components.
1.17 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION MARCH 2004 BOAT The choice of a boat engine and its performance in terms of power needed for reaching a pre-estab- lished speed depend on the marine engineer. The following data are given just for your information and therefore must be interpreted as such. Figure 7 illustrates the main geometrical data of a boat.
1.18 MARCH 2004 INTRODUCTION MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION Types of hull Displacing hulls This type of hull is usually characterised by a round bottom and narrow stern. Figure 9 During sailing this type of boat maintains the same static trim and does not reduce its draught also when the speed increases.
1.19 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION MARCH 2004 Gliding hulls These hulls, due to the shape of their bottom and the power installed, can reach a gliding trim by exploiting the hydro-dynamic phenomena, starting from an initial displacing condition. Figure 11 The gliding hulls move the water only when stationary or at low speeds;...
1.20 MARCH 2004 INTRODUCTION MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION The block coefficients are included in the following table: Type of boat Coefficient C Speedboat hulls with V bottom, gliding 0,30 Hulls for sports fishing with length up to 12 m (40 ft),V bottom 0,35 Pilot boats with length below a 12 m (40 ft) 0,35...
1.21 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION MARCH 2004 For example, if the above mentioned calculation is applied to a hull having floating length L = 25 feet, it results in: I Displacing hull, limit value knots I Semi-gliding hull, limit speed knots Values above 3 are for gliding hulls.
1.22 MARCH 2004 INTRODUCTION MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION Protection against galvanic corrosion The hulls made up of metal are subject to corrosion due to galvanic currents. Therefore, if two different metals come into contact, you are recommended to insulate electrically one of the components.
2.23 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION ENGINE/BOAT CHOICE FACTORS MARCH 2004 SECTION 2 ENGINE/BOAT CHOICE FACTORS Page 2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION 2.2 USE OF THE BOAT - ENGINE SETTING 25 Fast short-range yachts Long-range yachts/commercial boats Light service Medium service Continuous service 2.3 ENGINE PERFORMANCE 2.4 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND “DERATING”...
The engine setting is established for each type of engine after exhaustive duration tests carried out at IVECO testing bodies and after practical use on the boats. As a result, the engine power and rotation maximum rates admitted for an application are identified.The engine performance can be derived from the typical curves of the engine which usually include five different types of use.
2.26 MARCH 2004 ENGINE/BOAT CHOICE FACTORS MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION Light service Boat Light boats for tourist, professional or military use subject to frequent speed variations. For example, yachts, charters, light passenger boats, fast patrol boats, police boats, civil protection boats, rescue boats, special squads.
Page 27
The curve linking the maximum power value to the null power at the maximum speed is called gap curve.The gap in IVECO marine engines usually amounts to 10%. I Maximum torque speed (n ): it is the speed, or speed interval, at which the engine reaches the maximum torque.
Page 28
2.28 MARCH 2004 ENGINE/BOAT CHOICE FACTORS MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION In addition, it is important to make the right choice to prevent: I Requesting a power above the rated one I Requesting a power needed for gliding incompatible with the power which can be supplied by the engine The wrong design of the propeller substantially reduces the boat performance: in the first case the max- imum speed reached by the engine will be below the rated value and equal to the balance between...

2.31 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION ENGINE/BOAT CHOICE FACTORS MARCH 2004 MECHANICAL AND AUXILIARY COMPONENTS For the evaluation of the engine installed it is necessary to consider the presence of each component producing power absorption and to know exactly the absorbed powers, as the power taken by auxil- iary components is no longer available for the flywheel.

3.35 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION DRIVE MARCH 2004 PROPULSION SYSTEMS The drive in most boats is given by means of an engine consisting of: inverter-reducer, propeller sup- port axis and propeller, sometimes ducted, or in alternative a water jet propeller. The size and position of the compartments available for the engine location lead to a different layouts of the engine.The possible solutions are the following: Figure 1 AXIS LINE DRIVE...
3.36 MARCH 2004 DRIVE MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION Axis line propulsion systems On inboard applications, the propulsion system consists of an engine, an inverter-reducer, an axis line and a propeller, as in the diagram illustrated in figure 2 Figure 2 The advantages of this system can be summarised as follows: I Simplicity and reliability I Availability of a wide range of components I Compliance with the needs of distributing weights on the boat.
3.37 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION DRIVE MARCH 2004 Drive with universal joint shaft Some installations may need an angle drive or offset drive; the right solution is provided by the univer- sal joint shafts: I W layout, angle drive I Z layout, offset drive In the applications with universal joint shafts it is necessary to strictly observe the use and installation instructions provided by the manufacturers to prevent any faults due to the drive supplied with uneven speeds.
3.38 MARCH 2004 DRIVE MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION Angle drive - V drive Due to the size, the weight distribution and the hull structure it could be necessary to install an angle drive. On this type of drive it is important that the supporting plane of the engine on the inverter side is close to the connecting plane between the unit output and the propeller axis support.
3.39 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION DRIVE MARCH 2004 The advantages offered by this solution are: I More habitable space inside the hull I Better power efficiency, despite the lower mechanical efficiency, since the propeller axis is parallel to the travelling speed I Good manoeuvrability at high speeds, enabled by the simultaneous rotation of the foot-rudder and the propeller I Possibility of correcting the boat trim as a result of the adjustment of the whole astern foot slant...
3.40 MARCH 2004 DRIVE MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION The advantages are: I Low level of noise and vibrations I Facility of installation for the unit limited size I Flexibility in the choice of the position onboard I Low resistance to the sailing progress The drawbacks are: I Impossibility of use on boats with deep keel I Limited choice of drive and propeller ratios.
3.41 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION DRIVE MARCH 2004 PROPELLERS In the project of an engine for marine applications the propeller plays an essential role, comparable to that of the engine. The propeller receives the energy transmitted by the engine, deducted from the drive mechanical losses, and it shall be able to translate this energy into speed for the boat progress.
3.42 MARCH 2004 DRIVE MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION Propeller technical characteristics The characteristics defining the efficiency of a propeller are the diameter and the pitch. As to the boat performance, another important characteristic is the slip, defined as the difference between the theo- retical pitch and the real pitch.
Page 43
3.43 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION DRIVE MARCH 2004 Another important value is the blade area-disc area ratio (As/Ad), i.e. the ratio between the total area developed by the blades and the area corresponding to the circle formed by the propeller rated diam- eter.
Page 44
3.44 MARCH 2004 DRIVE MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION The propeller power is proportional to the value of its cubed rotation speed. We call this relation as the “propeller cube rule”. This relation complies with the resistance progress of displacing hulls. On gliding hulls the pattern of the absorbed power is illustrated in figure 11 which highlights the “hump”...
I Left-hand (left-handed, anticlockwise/counter-clockwise) if contrary to the above mentioned movement. IVECO marine engines are left-handed, therefore this shall be taken into consideration for the choice of the inverter. The rotation direction of the inverter output shaft depends on the type of structure and therefore there is a difference between the models with the same rotation direction of the engine and those contrary to it;...
3.46 MARCH 2004 DRIVE MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION Engine with reversible blades In this system the propeller blades hinge on the hub; the blade rotation on their axis is obtained by means of the suitable mechanism in the hub actuated through the propeller hollow supporting shaft (figure 13).The blade rotation is such to reverse the movement forward/backward and to keep at the same time the same engine rotation direction.
NOTE Inverters different from those proposed by IVECO shall receive prior approval. It is extremely important to insert the damper snap joint in the connection between the engine fly- wheel and the inverter input shaft, in order to prevent twisting and overloading the engine shaft end.
3.48 MARCH 2004 DRIVE MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION Lubrication On small mechanically-operated inverters the lubrication of gears, bearings and connected parts is car- ried out by means of shaking due to the partial soaking of the toothed wheels in the oil contained in the unit box.
Additional power takeoffs can compromise the torsional balance of the involved parts. The analyses of the torsional vibrations of the whole application shall be carried out by the builder fitter-out. IVECO Technical Bodies can make suggestions about the engine data which are needed for the cal- culation.

4.53 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION ENGINE INSTALLATION MARCH 2004 TRANSPORTATION The transportation of the engine or the whole engine/inverter unit shall be carried out with the suit- able lifting systems by means of grommets (eyebolts) made for this purpose and in a safe way to pre- vent any injuries to the operator and irregular stresses on the unit components.
Figure 2 illustrates an example of the flexible support adjustable in height, supplied upon request by IVECO for some applications and figure 3 shows an example of installation. The height adjustment shall be carried out according to the specific instructions provided by each sup- port supplier.
Page 55
4.55 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION ENGINE INSTALLATION MARCH 2004 You can implement the following procedure: I First adjust value X from 5 to 7 mm by operating nuts “B” and “C”. I Fasten the supports on the engine brackets by tightening nut “A “. I Place the engine on the keelson and check if there is clearance below the flexible support.
4.56 MARCH 2004 ENGINE INSTALLATION MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION TILTING The maximum tilting angles are a typical characteristic of each engine family and basically depend on the type of oil sump, the characteristics of the lubrication circuits and the technology of some systems, such as the oil supply to the hydraulic tappet.
4.57 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION ENGINE INSTALLATION MARCH 2004 Figure 5 In the applications with V-drive or in other special applications it is important not to tilt the engine with the front side down, not to compromise the regular operation of the cooling system, suitably designed for the tilted operation with the engine front part up;...
NOTE For particular installations (e.g. the astern foot, etc.) follow the indications of the specific publications of the manufacturer. You are reminded that the shipyard has the whole responsibility for the alignment operations; any IVECO responsibility is excluded.

5.61 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION AIR SUPPLY MARCH 2004 SUPPLY AND VENTILATION The temperature and pressure of the air sucked by the engine influence, as seen before, the engine per- formance and operation. As a result, for the engine correct operation and duration, the designer of the engine room shall: I Ensure the correct air flow in the quantity required for the engine combustion.
The environment where the marine engine operates does not usually have a high level of dust (< 2 mg/m In most cases simplified filters usually fitted on IVECO engines are sufficient. In particular cases where the environment can be dusty, as on work boats for the transport of dusty materials, it is necessary to apply, separated from the engine, more efficient air filters usually adopted on industrial applications.

OIL FILTERS IVECO engines take full flow; easy-change filters, or filter cartridges that filter the total flow of oil in the engine. The filtering material of the cartridge is a special kind of paper, which has a filtering level suitable to the engine type of use.
To substitute the oil easily, IVECO engines are fitted with a special pump, shown in fig. 2, which is con- nected to the bottom of the oil sump through a pipe that leads to the oil drain plug.
This gas mixture, generally called blow-by, is exhausted out of the engine because of the engine overpressure. In the IVECO marine engines, the blow-by gases are concentrated in calibrated channels before they reach the air filter, to be suctioned again and taken into combustion. Every model has a device that reg- ulates the flow of re-suctioned blow-by, separates the liquid components through appropriate filters and leads them to the oil sump.

8.83 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION COOLING MARCH 2004 INSTALLATION The aim of the cooling system is to keep the engine at a constant temperature to ensure proper func- tioning and guarantee the expected nominal performance. Marine engines are generally provided with a cooling system made up of two circuits: I A closed and pressurised primary circuit through which coolant circulates (water 50% and Paraflu 11 or its equivalent, complying with SAE J 1034).
8.84 MARCH 2004 COOLING MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION PRIMARY CIRCUIT This circuit cools down the engine, the lubricant oil, and often the exhaust manifold, as well. The pri- mary circuit is enclosed and pressurised, and except for the keel-cooling system, it does not require installation procedures.
8.85 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION COOLING MARCH 2004 Water seacock fitting It draws sea water overboard for the secondary cooling circuit. It must be properly fitted to filter out debris before it gets into the suction pipe and to resist seawater aggressions. Its position in the hull must be carefully chosen to guarantee correct water suction in any navigation condition.
8.86 MARCH 2004 COOLING MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION Pipes and connexions The secondary circuit water pipes should not cause excessive pressure drop, which may be incompat- ible with proper pump functioning and regular engine refrigeration. Suction vacuum at the engine maximum power rate, including the suction lift and all the connected ele- ments lift should not be over 0.2 bar.
8.87 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION COOLING MARCH 2004 Water pump As a rule, the water pump is mounted in and activated by the engine.The rubber or neoprene impeller is subjected to wear and tear and it needs to be periodically changed, as indicated in the use and main- tenance manuals.

The pipes placed after the mixer must be resistant to exhaust gases and certified by vessel certifying Entities. IVECO mixer configuration may not be suitable for all kinds of vessels. The dockyard personnel have to devise an exhaust system in such a way to avoid the return of water to the exhaust manifold or to the engine turbine under any working conditions.They should also install...

9.95 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION DISCHARGE MARCH 2004 The overboard discharge pipe is also an inverted U-shaped tube that hinders direct outside water flow- ing; its height depends on the kind of vessel. The silencer capacity must be superior to the water volume discharged when stopping the engine. Materials used must be resistant to exhaust gases and seawater aggression.
To size the pipes for gas mixed with water increase the diameter by 10% taking as a reference value the dry discharge pipe diameter. In engines equipped with IVECO standard mixers, the pipe diameter shall never be smaller than the mixer outlet diameter. In each case, it is advisable to check the counterpressure originated by the dis- charge pipe and the silencer, if present.

Depending on the power required and on the features of the element to be powered, the movement can be obtained by: I Engine flywheel, the engine is not used for propelling but as an auxiliary device.
The limit values are indicated in each engine technical information chart. When an IVECO joint is not being used, the dockyard technical staff will be in charge of finding an appropriate solution in terms of the driving torque, flexibility, rotational speed and the allowable vibra-...
IVECO engines for professional applications can be supplied with front pulleys with supplementary throats for belt transmission.

13.121 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION GALVANIC CORROSION PROTECTION MARCH 2004 13.1 OVERVIEW Joining different materials or metallic alloys in an electrolyte, for instance, a good electric conductor such as water, causes an exchange of electrons or an electric current.This electric current, although small, will take a real direction out of the more active metal or anode, causing particles carry with visible corro- sion effects that will become more evident with time.
13.122 MARCH 2004 GALVANIC CORROSION PROTECTION MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION Other factors favouring corrosion are: I Important relation difference between the cathode surface and the anodic one. I High saline concentration in sea water. I High water speed on surfaces I Temperature and sea water ventilation rise. Since eddy or galvanic currents are reduced in intensity, they may leak to the important vessel compo- nents risking corrosions on the engine elements or on the keel.
13.123 MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION GALVANIC CORROSION PROTECTION MARCH 2004 Assessment of progressive wear and tear indicates the importance of this phenomenon. The anodes that wear down faster must be replaced by larger ones. Long-lasting efficacious protection is guaranteed only by periodical zinc anode control and replacement of the markedly corroded ones.

In the case of engines supplied with electronic control injection system, it is possible to assess the main burning air pressure and temperature, the coolant temperature and the amount of injected fuel using the diagnosis instrument that can be found on the technical / commercial IVECO network. Testing the cooling and venting systems installation The test is not generally carried out in the case of engines with standard cooling system installation (water/water heat exchanger and secondary seawater heat exchanger).
In the case of a non-standard cooling system, for example keel cooling or heat exchanger systems that have not been supplied by IVECO, the test should be carried out as follows: I Open and lock the engine coolant thermostat valve.
I Doppler effect tachometer to measure the vessel speed or a GPS to take measurements indirect- ly in combination with other navigation data. If engines fitted with EDC system are to be tested, the use of diagnosis instruments supplied by IVECO is highly recommended. These instruments are able to measure temperature, rotation rate and fuel injection values as well as many other values by analysing the data processed by the Electronic Unit and gathered by means of sensors and transducers fitted in the installation.
