Technology has never been more efficient
T
he operators’ forum at this year’s Annual Marine Propulsion Conference was an enthralling blend of OEM insight and operator feedback. Leading the discussion was Jörg Erdtmann, director of technical management and service and head of engine operation department (EOD) at Niederelbe Schiffahrtsgesellschaft (NSB), who spoke about the company’s research into the effects of slow steaming and the ways in which turbocharger cut-out could be employed to deal with the problems that arose as a consequence. Like many shipowners and operators, he reported that slow steaming has been one of the most significant measures aimed at reducing his vessels’ daily operating costs. The session is reported on in full starting on page 5. Once again we have engaged directly with the leading OEMs to report on not only the latest technology developments but also how their research and development programmes are anticipating the slew of new regulation that will hit the market over the next five to ten years. Coping with slow steaming, fuel quality, a potential new generation of fuels and new engine designs are ever-present challenges. That the OEMs are rising to the challenge is beyond doubt. To take a couple of examples: our focus on MAN Diesel & Turbo takes a detailed look at its TCT turbocharger, designed specifically for two-stroke engines. A milestone development, given this is the first time that MAN Diesel & Turbo has decided to develop a turbocharger series exclusively for two-stroke engines, and one that is especially designed and optimised to fulfil Tier III requirements. ABB Turbocharging has completed its first application on a marine engine of its Power2 800-M secondgeneration two-stage turbocharging solution on the
brand new Wärtsilä 31 marine engine. The latest generation of Power2 800-M is also designed to allow fuel flexibility as it is applicable to engines burning all marine fuel types. ABB Turbocharging says that the increased pressure ratios and turbocharging efficiencies support engine concepts enabling “six-figure savings” on fuel annually. Our section also brings the latest developments from MET turbochargers; KBB; MTU; Napier; PBS; and HS Turbochargers.
A
longside design capabilities, other technologies are also being introduced that can help in service and repair operations. A cursory review of our service profile section will provide useful insight on these new technologies as well as on who has the capability to deliver them. An obvious, but by no means exclusive, pioneer in this respect is Tru-Marine. As our profile makes clear, it was the first company to have developed laser-aided additive manufacturing technology to repair new-generation turbochargers made in super alloys. This technology revolutionised the treatment of damaged components that were previously condemned, meaning the company can now restore components to ‘good as new’. It is also now applying the technique to other marine components and, in 2014, Tru-Marine Rotterdam became one of the first in Europe to implement laser cladding for piston ring grooves with class certification. The common thread throughout this publication is that hard won gains in turbocharger efficiency are being seen across the board. This can only be good news for the operator who ultimately foots the bill and the crew tasked with overseeing vessel operations. WTG
Profiling marine engineering excellence in Asia October 14-15 will see the inaugural Riviera Asian Marine Engineering conference in Singapore. In common with its counterpart event in London, the conference will bring together the industry for a twoday programme of presentations and networking. Owner/ operator concerns will be central and a strong turnout from this demographic is anticipated. Turbochargers will be an integral part of the programme

MAN’s turbochargers break new ground The need to comply with Tier III regulations is driving much of MAN Diesel & Turbo’s turbocharger development

The TCT is the first turbocharger developed specifically for two-stroke engines and is designed to comply with IMO Tier III (credit: MAN Diesel & Turbo)
AN Diesel & Turbo’s biggest news of the last year in terms of turbochargers was clearly the launch in September of its TCT turbocharger, which is designed specifically for two-stroke engines. This represented the first time that MAN Diesel & Turbo has decided to develop a turbocharger series exclusively for two-stroke engines and that is especially designed and optimised to fulfil Tier III requirements. Compared to the TCA turbocharger range, which was successfully introduced by the company during the previous decade, TCT efficiency shows an increase of 5 per cent through using newly-developed compressor and turbine-wheel geometry, consequently increasing waste-heat-recovery potential by 30 per cent. The TCT range will also deliver a 10 per cent greater air flow at a turbocharging pressure that is 25 per cent higher, while being 30 per cent smaller and 40 per cent lighter than the existing TCA range. MAN Diesel & Turbo reports that the first TCT turbocharger is expected to reach the market in 2016 after an extensive validation and field-testing programme. Dirk Balthasar, head of sales and promotion in MAN Diesel & Turbo’s turbocharger business unit, said at the time: “Modern turbochargers must meet many demands, including meeting technical requirements – such as
MAN turbochargers for first ME-GI Last year, MAN turbochargers powered the world’s first ME-GI and 28/32 dualfuel engines. The low speed ME-GI engine from South Korea’s Doosan Engine to the American National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) represented a milestone in engine technology. The 8L70ME-C8.2-GI main engine is aspirated by two TCA66 turbochargers and will power a 3,100 TEU container ship ordered by Totem Ocean Trailer
www.mpropulsion.com
Express (Tote), the American marine transportation company. Furthermore, the ship will receive three 9L28/32DF auxiliary engines, each featuring a single TCR18 turbocharger. A second, identical vessel is currently under construction. With this set-up, MAN Diesel & Turbo commented, Tote not only chose some of the most environmentally-friendly engine technology available, but also a flexible power solution, since both the
ME-GI and 28/32DF engines can run on HFO or gas. Gas operation yields a significant reduction in CO 2 , NOx, particulate matter and SOx emissions and both engines have no methane slip. Tote’s containership is slated to be the first gas-powered containership in the world and will lead the way for additional investments in infrastructure for liquefied natural gas.

Tier III compliance – at the most competitive price, having small dimensions to facilitate installation in cramped spaces, not to mention characteristics such as high operational reliability, low maintenance frequencies and a long working life. The conflict of objectives is obvious.” He concluded: “In developing the TCT range, it was important to MAN Diesel & Turbo to balance the individual demands of the different groups of customers to achieve an optimum overall result. Ultimately, we feel we have achieved this and believe the TCT range to be the best overall turbocharger package for two-stroke engines.” MAN Diesel & Turbo reports that individual TCT turbochargers will cover a wider range of engine ratings and that engine manufacturers will be able to use just one size for turbocharging different numbers of cylinders. It also states that individual adaptation of the turbocharger to the engine will be by the established method of using a variety of exchangeable parts within the turbocharger, while TCT production costs can be controlled by dispensing with the alternatives required for four-stroke engines.
The requirement of Tier III engines – featuring EGR technology – for wide compressor maps to cover different EGR flow rates will be met with the development of specific compressorwheel geometries with wide compressor maps. The new TCT range, MAN Diesel & Turbo said, will provide shipowners and operators with significant advantages. Customers familiar with the TCA ranges will find that TCT turbochargers still provide them with familiar solutions, such as the patented Super-Bolt compressor wheel mounting that saves maintenance time. The life of expendable parts has also been extended by using high-performance components, as reflected in lower servicing frequencies. In line with established MAN maintenance philosophy, servicing can be undertaken either by the operator or by MAN PrimeServ, MAN Diesel & Turbo’s service division. The established TCA66 and TCR18 turbochargers are being supplied to the world’s first gas-fuelled container ship (see box) and they are said to integrate well with the latest engine technology and match operators’ requirements for long service
Czech partner develops ETB In 2011, the Czech subsidiary of MAN’s turbocharger business unit, PBS Turbo (PBST), started to develop a new prototype of its electrical turbo blower (ETB), the ETB18. The aim was to provide a robust and cost-effective solution to address the challenges of placing a turbo-blower in the challenging environment of a largebore diesel engines exhaust duct. This process involved three major stages: • Selection of a highly corrosion-resistant material for all flow-conducting components to be able to withstand the contact with remaining amounts of sulphuric acid; • Developing a high-efficiency compressor wheel for low pressure ratios to deliver the required volume flow from exhaust gas to scavenge air side; and • Variable speed operation to facilitate variable flow amounts required for adjusting the EGR-rates. For an EGR solution, which operates at various EGR-rates, a concept study of different EGR solutions has been conducted. The solutions were: • EGR-turbocharger; • ETB consisting of a compressor impeller driven by a high-speed e-motor and variable frequency drive; • Radial, axial and axial multistage variants of an ETB; • ETB consisting of a compressor impeller
14 I Worldwide Turbocharger Guide 2015
driven by a standard e-motor and gear; and • Screw compressor. To compare the different solutions, these parameters were taken into account: first cost, size, efficiency, robustness of the design and controllability of EGR rates. From a functional point of view, it was demonstrated that all the solutions met the performance requirements but the ETB solution with high-speed e-motor
The EGR system on an MAN two-stroke engine (credit: MAN Diesel & Turbo) intervals and straightforward maintenance. To this end, MAN Diesel & Turbo recently announced that not only had it extended the inspection intervals of its TCA turbochargers but had omitted the previously necessary bearing inspection between major overhauls. MAN’s current innovation plans are focusing on the requirements of IMO Tier was determined to be best, as it provided the optimum overall combination of those parameters. With an overall system length for the ETB18 of about 870mm and a total weight of 520kg it can be easily integrated into an EGR-module via a flange connection, the manufacturer reported. Packaged with a frequency converter that communicates with the ME control system, it provides full speed control to adjust the commanded EGR-rate.

III regulations. The positive effect of highperformance turbocharging on emissions and fuel consumption will be further enhanced by another new development: the electrical turbo blower (ETB), which will be MAN’s solution for exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). With EGR, the fuel-air mixture inside the engine is diluted by cooled exhaust gases, reducing the formation of nitrogen oxides during the combustion process. The ETB was developed by PBS Turbo (PBST), the Czech subsidiary of MAN’s turbocharger business unit (see box). For EGR applications a compressor wheel is required that provides high efficiency at low pressure ratios and at low volume flows up to 2 m3/s. So PBST developed a new compressor wheel that delivers strongly increased efficiencies for the ETB’s desired application range. The compressor wheel provides extra-wide compressor maps, mitigating the need for variable diffuser geometry. Hence the ETB18 that PBST developed is simpler to drive and easier to govern. The starting point for the material selection for the compressor wheel was an internal study of a standard material for turbo compressors together with various stainless steel alternatives. During the study, test specimens were exposed to a solution containing approximately 0.186 M-% H2SO4 (sulphuric acid) with a pH value of 1.75 to investigate the sensitivity for intercrystalline corrosion. It was demonstrated that a high corrosionresistant duplex material had not shown any sensitivity for intercrystalline corrosion. As the blower casings are manufactured in a casting process, it was decided to produce the compressor casing, the air inlet pipe and the diffuser out of an austenitic corrosion-resistant casting steel. The newly-developed ETB demonstrated its performance in an extensive validation programme undertaken in 2013. All tests, which are required prior to engine testing, were successfully finished on the test bed at PBST. The validation plan included MAN’s own check items as well as requirements from ABS class and further applicable marine standards. In February 2014, EGR tests were carried out on the 4T50ME-X test engine in Copenhagen. These cleared the way for the first sea trials to be held on a commercial marine application, which was scheduled to take place on a Mitsui 6S60ME-C8.2 in May, as this issue went to press. In the Tier III approach, the ETB system will be a competitive solution. With a challenging target price, the main development focus lies in minimising costs for the whole system to respond to the severe economic requirements of the market. WTG www.mpropulsion.com

Globe Turbocharger Specialties excels in flow rates Globe Turbocharger Specialties has been providing new and rebuilt turbochargers and components to the diesel locomotive, marine and power generation industries for more than 30 years. It has worked with several low and medium speed engine manufacturers to retrofit legacy engines, providing them with re-engineered and new aerodynamic components specifically designed to achieve new flow requirements, thus meeting the newest emissions criteria. It also has experience of manufacturing turbochargers itself, as a result of its 1998 purchase of the assets and manufacturing rights of the Alco Turbocharger. Through the use of computer-aided design and flow simulation software, Globe can match, create, or modify a turbocharger’s various aerodynamic components to meet specific engine flow rate and pressure ratio requirements at several operating conditions, whether a highor low-pressure ratio is required. In many instances, subtle changes such as impeller flow reductions, re-designs of vaned diffusers and modifications to the turbine inlet area will result in significantly increased turbocharger efficiency and reduced turbine www.mpropulsion.com
Globe modifies components to meet flow rate and pressure ratio requirements inlet and compressor discharge temperatures, thereby decreasing fuel consumption and reducing emissions. Re-evaluating compressorto-turbine component matching for maximum efficiency is another area of expertise. To ensure all technical requirements are met, Globe has partnered with the Natural Gas Machinery Laboratory (NGML) at Kansas State University. The NGML provides Globe with a testing facility that also provides objective third-party test data to its customers.
A complete mapping of the turbocharger’s aerodynamic performance validation, vibration analysis and mechanical performance validation ensures customer satisfaction. For example, a low pressure ratio turbocharger built with new and modified aerodynamic components was shown to meet the desired engine flow requirement within 1 per cent with high efficiency and ample surge margin. In another installation, by modifying a few key aerodynamic components the design point compressor efficiency was increased by 7 per cent while increasing the available surge margin and reducing the required gas power by nearly 12 per cent. In both instances the turbocharger’s main casings, flange locations, oil and cooling water requirements and auxiliary systems remained unchanged. Globe’s focus is on customer service and satisfaction. Whether a customer has a twoengine fleet and needs a basic overhaul or needs a complete turbocharger re-design to meet the latest emissions demands, the company has the desire and expertise to meet the demands.

TurboUSA has also developed and implemented a quality management system to: • Better satisfy the requirements of its customers; • Improve the company’s management; and • Thoroughly document the company’s best business practices. The company offers the only Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance approved shaft metal spray process in the Americas. This process represents a significant advance in providing TurboUSA customers with quality parts at value pricing. Unlike the cold repair procedure, where a new layer is added to the shaft at a temperature below 300°C, TurboUSA's procedure fuses the sprayed layer and the underlying metal at a temperature approximating 1,200°C. In addition to hot metal spray, TurboUSA also offers laser metal cladding. As turbocharger maintenance and repair become more and more complex, customers need a supplier that meets worldwide quality standards. TurboUSA is ISO 9001:2008 certified. WTG
