Summary: | Since the beginning, the development of marine diesel engines was turned towards
obtaining a low fuel consumption and the result has reflected in engine construction: increased
bore and cylinder liner diameter, higher working pressures, and lower piston speeds. Similar
improvements have taken place in the supercharging system, innovative fuel injection
technologies, and changes in combustion pressures. Nowadays, the trend of development has
changed, the concept of reducing NOx and SOx emissions became a priority in order to meet
the limits imposed by international organizations. As a consequence, a series of changes in
the operating mode of marine engines was noticed but also several innovations appeared in the
construction and development of marine engines. |
