SMM '98: Post Show Report (Continued from page 24)

The Sulzer RT-flex Concept. crank- shaft.

In the usual fuel injection system of a Sulzer

RTA two-stroke diesel engine, the valve-con- trolled injection pump generates the pressure, times the injection and meters the quantity of fuel injected with only limited flexibility to influ- ence the variables. The Sulzer Common Rail sys- tem allows the function to be separated and sub- sequently, allows for more flexibility. With the

Common Rail system, the user gets: precise vol- umetric fuel injection control; variable injection rate shaping; well-proven high-efficiency fuel pumps; and free selection of injection pressure.

Also, the manufacturer reports that it is ideally suited for heavy fuel oil.

High-efficiency fuel pumps feed a high-pressure fuel manifold, the Common Rail, arranged at the level of the cylinder covers.

The fuel pumps are based on the proven design of the jerk-type injection pumps used in the

Sulzer ZA40S four-stroke engines, and run on a multi-lobe cam to deliver adequate quantities of fuel to the Common Rail at the usual high pres- sure ready for injection. Fuel is delivered from the Common Rail through the injection control unit to the fuel injection valves.

There is a control unit for each engine cylinder.

It regulates the timing of fuel injection, provides control of the volume of fuel injected, and sets the shape of the injection pattern.

The three fuel injection valves in the respective cylinder cover are independently controlled so that they may be programmed to operate sepa- rately or in unison as necessary.

The company said that during testbed trials, the Sulzer Common Rail system is able to oper- ate on the same grades of heavy fuel oil, namely up to 700 cSt viscosity. Also, it is designed for high fuel injection pressures.
