Exhaust Gas System

B 16 00 0 General

Internal Exhaust Gas System

From the exhaust valves, the gas is led to the exhaust gas receiver where the fluctuating pressure from the individual cylinders is equalized and the total volume of gas led further on to the turbocharger, at a constant pressure. After the turbocharger, the gas is led to the exhaust pipe system. The exhaust gas receiver is cast sections, one for each cylinder, connected to each other, by means of compensators, to prevent excessive stress due to heat expansion. After each cylinder thermosensor for reading the exhaust gas temperature is fitted. The value is indicated by means of the MEG-module (Monitor exhaust Gas Temperature). To avoid excessive thermal loss and to ensure a reasonably low surface temperature the exhaust gas receiver is insulated.

The insulation should be shielded by a thin plating, and should comply with the requirements of the classification society and/or the local authorities.

Exhaust Pipe Dimensions

It should be noted that concerning the maximum exhaust gas velocity the pipe dimension after the expansion bellow should be increased for some of the engines. The wall thickness of the external exhaust pipe should be min. 3 mm.

Exhaust Pipe Mounting

When the exhaust piping is mounted, the radiation of noise and heat must be taken into consideration. Because of thermal fluctuations in the exhaust pipe, it is necessary to use flexible as well as rigid suspension points. In order to compensate for thermal expansion in the longitudinal direction, expansion bellows must be inserted. The expansion bellows should preferably be placed at the rigid suspension points. Note: The exhaust pipe must not exert any force against the gas outlet on the engine. One sturdy fixed-point support must be provided for the expansion bellows on the turbocharger. It should be positioned, immediately above the expansion bellow in order to prevent the transmission of forces, resulting from the weight, thermal expansion or lateral displacement of the exhaust piping, to the turbocharger. The exhaust piping should be mounted with a slope towards the gas outlet on the engine. It is recommended to have drain facilities in order to be able to remove condensate or rainwater.

External Exhaust Gas System

The exhaust back-pressure should be kept as low as possible. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the exhaust piping is made as short as possible and with few and soft bends. Long, curved, and narrow exhaust pipes result in higher back-pressure which will affect the engine combustion. Exhaust back-pressure is a loss of energy and will cause higher fuel consumption. The exhaust back-pressure should not exceed 25 mbar at MCR. An exhaust gas velocity through the pipe of maximum 35 m/sec is often suitable, but depends on the actual piping. Holeby will be pleased to assist in making a calculation of the exhaust back-pressure. The gas outlet of turbocharger, the expansion bellows, the exhaust pipe, and silencer, (in case of silencer with spark arrestor care must be taken that the cleaning parts are accessible), must be insulated with a suitable material.

Position of Gas Outlet on Turbocharger

B 16 02 0 shows turning alternatives positions of the exhaust gas outlet. Before dispatch of the engine from Holeby exhaust gas outlet will be turned to the wanted position. The turbocharger is, as standard, mounted in the front end.

Expansion Bellow
The expansion bellow, which is supplied separately, must be mounted directly on the exhaust gas outlet, see also E 16 01 1-2.

Exhaust Silencer
The position of the silencer in the exhaust gas piping is not decisive for the silencing effect. It would be useful, however, to fit the silencer as high as possible to reduce fouling. The necessary silencing depends on the loudness of the exhaust sound and the discharge from the gas outlet to the bridge wing. The exhaust silencer, see E 16 04 2-3-5-6 is supplied loose with counterflange, gaskets and bolts.

Exhaust Gas Boiler

To utilize the thermal energy from the exhaust, an exhaust gas boiler producing steam or hot water can be installed. Each engine should have a separate exhaust gas boiler or, alternatively, a common boiler with separate gas ducts. Concerning exhaust gas quantities and temperature, see list of capacities D 10 05 0, and engine performance D 10 10 0. The discharge temperature from the exhaust gas boiler should not be lower than 180 C (in order to avoid sulphuric acid formation in the funnel). The exhaust gas boilers should be installed with bypass entering in function at low load operation. The back-pressure over the boiler must be included in the back-pressure calculation.
