ponents from the body of the device, a SiO2 glass layer is laid down using a process called chemical vapor deposi- tion to provide insulation from the device housing. The resistors for the measurement circuit are made of nickel and nickel-chrome alloy and are sput- tered directly onto the SiO2 surface. In subsequent process steps, conventional lithographic techniques are used to create the meander-shaped conductor paths typical of the strain gauge. Staiger said that, in contrast to the widely used silicon-based pressure sensor systems, sensors using thin- film technologies show much lower temperature errors and an increased long-term stability due to the fact that all materials used in their construction have similar coefficients of thermal expansion.

The sensor electronics meet all EMC requirements as per IEC 61000 (level 4) as well as current marine and railway standards. As far as the sensors’ performance over their lifetime, Trafag said it carried out elaborate simulated lifetime tests and intentionally destructive tests. Those involved exposing sensors to high operating temperatures for extended periods, as well as to the combination of constant, high nomi- nal pressure and exposure to maximum operating temperature. A typical test run involved exposing the sensors for 2000 hours to 120° to 140°C. Zeisel said that highly accelerated life tests (HALT) were also employed to definitively evaluate the design, as these tests are intentionally driven outside product specifications to determine the weak points in the sensor. In fact, sensors with a specified vibration tolerance of 25 g within a temperature range of -40° to 125°C are subject to a 50 g vibration test, while the temperature in the test chamber is raised within a few seconds from -80° to 160°C. The company said the aim of these tests is to have sensors still functioning within specifications at the conclusion of the selected test series, or for as long as possible during the tests. The Trafag high-pressure sensors registered still valid output signals at the end of the tests (0.5 V at ambient pressure).

This result greatly exceeded expectations and has led to line qualification for the new material by a major manufacturer of common rail systems. Springflex SF — the SF stands for Super Fatigue resistant — is a modified version of the existing duplex stainless-steel Sandvik Springflex grades. The new material is duplex steel with an austenitic-ferritic grain structure and combines high tensile strength with relaxation, fatigue and corrosion resistance properties. “The severity of demand on fatigue performance in spring wire depends on the number of load cycles and the type of stresses applied,” Paulin said. “Probably the toughest fatigue challenge at the moment for stainless-steel springs is on plunger springs in common rail diesel injection systems.” Resisting 300 Million In a common rail system, the fuel is constantly available at the pressure re- Highly Stressed Cycles quired for injection.

Within the duplex microstructure, the benefits of both austenitic and ferritic structures need to be exploited and to remain stable throughout the wire drawing, spring coiling and heat treatment processes, the company said. The chemical composition and manufacturing route mean that no tendency for martensitic transformation exists and ductility remains throughout the entire production process. “Martensite is harder than austenite and contributes to the tensile strength,” Eriksson said. “However, martensite is brittle and prone to cracking, especially longitudinally. Martensite has a lower density compared with austenite, which means that it increases stress levels in the surrounding austenite as it tries to swell within the steel during cold working.” In duplex material, grain boundar- ies between the austenite and ferrite phases work as barriers against fatigue crack propagation. Another advantage of the duplex material is that it is less sensitive to crack propaga- A comparison of targeted tensile strength ranges for Sandvik Springflex SF — which combines tion than austenitic steels. high tensile strength, relaxation, fatigue and corrosion resistance properties — versus 17-7 PH.

a reduced cylinder lube-oil feed rate (the ACC factor) is possible in certain cases, the company said. In order to improve the engine performance at lower loads, the pressures Pcomp and Pmax have been increased at part-load in the latest engine designs. This calls for an optimization of the cylinder liner surface temperature. Furthermore, this development has also required a rebalancing of the cylinder lube oil’s ability to lubricate in order to neutralize the acid formation creat- ing cold corrosion, MAN said. Based upon experience and careful evaluation of testing high-BN cylinder oils on engines with a relatively high corrosive level, it was decided to introduce BN100 as the new design basis for ME-C/ME-B/MC-C8.1 — and also higher mark number — engine types. “An excess of cold corrosion is damaging to cylinder liners and demands prompt attention from engine operators,” said Kjeld Aabo, director of Customer Support – MAN Diesel & Turbo. “Through cooperation with lubricating-oil manufac- The fuel injectors on top of a six-cylinder S70ME-C engine from MAN Diesel & Turbo. turers, and after extensive onboard testing, we recommend increasing MAN Diesel & Turbo has recent- signed to comply with Tier 2 NOX the oil BN to 100.

In some cases, for example marine or railways, a host of certification requirements have to be fulfilled, often with higher standards than in the automotive industry. In our experience, for the industrial sector it is essential to create modular options to offer tailor- made solutions, while in automotive applications customer demands are only linked to serial production.” The company said SGF couplings are a very cost-effective system, especially in case of components over- hauling. In fact, it is enough to replace the link elements and the whole coupling is as good as new, SGF said, adding that the metal parts normally do not have to be changed. “Our products are also easy to tune to the customer’s requirements,” Löw said. “When something in the component changes, such as in the upgrading of a gen-set from diesel op-

process heat. The high quantities and high temperatures of heat required would lead to the need for offshore installation of fired boilers, while in- situ power generation could incor- porate a waste heat recovery system (WHRS) to produce some or all of the required heat, reducing the number and size of fired boilers required. With in-situ power generation, the fuel source or sources need to be selected, especially if associated gas is not sufficient. In some locations, it may be economically feasible to import gas from shore or from a nearby gas-rich platform to use as the platform fuel. If gas import is not feasible, then the operator needs to look at liquid fuels. There are a wide range of liquid fuels that can be considered based on cost and availability, but liquid fuels have higher carbon content than natural gas and so will lead The HelWin1 is the first connecting grid offshore platform that Siemens has installed in the to a higher carbon footprint.

The system reduces exhaust emissions to low levels from the diesel- hydraulic motive power, which totals 1700 kW in the three-car, three-engine DMU configuration, Cummins said. The engine also has a fast torque response with a peak output of 3084 Nm, enabling the DMU to accelerate quickly from idle. The company said this is an important advantage in reducing journey times on routes with short distances between stations. The top speed of the DMU is 145 kph and, according to Cummins, the engine runs quietly with minimal vibration due to an upgraded common- rail fuel system that balances fueling across the six cylinders.

MAN Fine-Tunes MGT6100/6200 Combustion System

Single-digit NOx achieved in the 50 to 100% operating range

In addition to high efficiency, one of MAN Diesel & Turbo’s (MDT) main goals in the development of the MGT6100/6200 gas turbine family was to achieve an environmentally friendly operation. This characteristic was tied to the development of an advanced combustion system capable of maintaining low NOx and CO values in an operating field that was as wide as possible. This result was obtained by a development program subdivided into several successive steps. The starting point was to capital- ize on the experience gained during the development of an advanced can combustor (ACC) system. Based on DLE premix technology for the existing THM gas turbine family, the ACC system was originally designed for diffusion flame technology of its combustion system. However, the differences between the THM and MGT combustion systems were such that an in- depth study and reengineering of the whole system were required. For example, the THM features two cans powering a 10 MW class machine — that is, more than 5 MW per can. The MGT is a 6 MW class turbine with a combustion system of six cans, 1 MW per can. This dif- ference in size has a primary effect on the reisdence time of the flame. Also, the firing temperatures of the two families are different: the temperature is higher for the MGT, MAN’s MGT 6200 two-shaft gas turbine is shown on the test bench in Oberhausen, Germany. which is designed according to the latest technologies. ponents was widely known.

was transferred to Deutsches Zentrum für Luft und Raumfahrt (DLR), the German aerospace center, for high- pressure testing of industrial and aero engines under controlled pressure and temperature conditions. The MGT test rig was connected to the air and fuel gas supplies on one side and to the exhaust stack on the other to perform a pressure test of about 15 bar and vary by 10% the Wobbe Index of the natural gas feeding the German network. Finally, tests of the complete combustion system (six cans) were transferred to the Oberhausen testing facilities and performed both on the single-shaft MGT6100 and on two two-shaft MGT6200 turbines. These tests confirmed the single- can results and highlighted that the premixing systems ensure a ho- mogeneous air/fuel mixture. This characteristic is essential to avoid hot spots in the flame that could affect the life of the combustor walls and contribute to NOx formation. Single- digit NOx emissions were recorded in the entire 50 to 100% operating range with CO levels of 10 to 15 ppmv during the test period of the MGT6100. The company said that a pilot flame is always on to ensure safety operation under sudden load variations. The MGT6200 prototype was installed at SolVin, Rheinberg, and was operating at NOx emissions below 25 ppmv, which complies with the German limit of 36.5 ppm (TA Luft). MDT said it INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS. PROVEN PERFORMANCE®. is ready to guarantee 15 ppm NOx
