Our project involves the identification of the major problem in those machines and choosing one of the best problems (cold test) and improving the pass ratio of that particular machine. After the in-depth analysis of the cold testing we infer five basic problems like the crank and cam issue, oil leak, fuel leak, vibrations and breakaway torque. Out of these problems the crank and cam issue was chosen and various techniques were performed to reduce the rejection count in order to reduce the rejection in the overall cold testing. Each problem is entitled around the production line of the engines, and involves out of the box solution for complex problem. Solving these problems would eventually improve the quality of the manufacturing process by 80%. KEYWORDS: Cold test, Crank and Cam, GEMS, Crimping, Rejection analysis, Pass ratio I. INTRODUCTION The quality of a machine is improved by performing some improvement activities.

Not only is it still a strong market in terms of overall volume but it also puts continual demands on engine development. Larger, faster containerships require high-output propulsion engines which must operate most reliably with the least time out of service. Sulzer diesel engines have proved to be particularly successful in this market sector. To the RTA84C type which was introduced in 1988, and upgraded in 1993, has been added the RTA96C to extend the power range up to 89 640 bhp (65 880 kW) for the new generation of large ‘Post-Panamax’ containerships that load 6000 TEU or more. The Sulzer RTA84C is the leader in this market sector, with 155 engines delivered or on order.

  • EGT Myths Debunked Email to Kristin at [email protected]
    The Oil Report March 2011 Oil the News that’s Fit to Print! Attention writers! We are looking for a few new voices for our aircraft newsletters. If you’ve got aircraft article ideas and a yen to write, shoot an EGT Myths Debunked email to Kristin at [email protected]. Understanding exhaust gas temperatures by Mike Busch The following article is reprinted with permission from Mike Busch. It originally appeared in EAA’s October 2010 issue of Sport Aviation. Visit them at www.sportaviation.org. Pilots still seem to have a lot of misconceptions about exhaust gas temperature (EGT). Let’s see if we can clear some of them up. These days, pilots of piston-powered aircraft seem to have fixated upon EGT. Scarcely a day goes by that I don’t receive a phone call, email, or support ticket asking some EGT-related question. Pilots will send me a list of EGT readings for each of their cylinders and ask me if I think they look okay, whether I think their EGTs are too high, what maximum EGT limit I recommend, why their EGTs seem to be higher in the winter than in the summer, or why the EGTs on their 1972 Cessna 182 are so much higher than the ones on their friend’s 1977 model. They’ll voice concern that the individual cylinders on their engine have such diverse EGT readings, worry that the spread between the highest and lowest EGT is excessive, and ask for advice on how to bring them closer together. They’ll complain that they are unable to transition from rich-of-peak (ROP) to lean-of- peak (LOP) operation without producing EGTs that are unacceptably high.
