MAN D&T, Hyundai Invest in News Test Facility

As the global maritime industry steams is designed to pressurize and vaporize Gas pressure is controlled via control of the LNG supply to the engine. Separate toward ever-stricter fuel and emission the LNG fuel to the exact pressure and hydraulic oil ? ow to the pump, ensur- control of each pump head provides full rules, industry leaders such as MAN temperature required by ME-GI engines. ing a very quick and precise control of redundancy.

Diesel & Turbo and Hyundai continue to invest in facilities and technologies.

MAN D&T said it will build a new test- engine facility in collaboration with its two-stroke licensee, HHI-EMD, the en- gine and machinery division of Hyun- dai Heavy Industries. The new venture –located in Ulsan, Korea at HHI-EMD’s works and scheduled to open in 2019 – will expand MAN Diesel & Turbo’s

R&D test capacity and strengthen its de- velopment of dual-fuel gas engines.

“This new test set-up will enable us to further advance our pursuit of highly reliable and environmentally-friendly technology with a strong focus on cost- competitive gas engines and related equipment,” said Lars Juliussen, Senior

Manager and Head of MAN Diesel &

Turbo’s Diesel Research Center. It will be the ? rst test engine with online re- mote control, supporting MAN’s digiti- zation strategy.

ME-GI Pump Vaporizer Unit

The new test engine set-up will also feature MAN Diesel & Turbo’s own ME-

GI Pump Vaporizer Unit (ME-GI PVU), touted as a high-pressure LNG sup- ply unit that makes FGSS installations signi? cantly more compact – reducing both cost and weight. The ME-GI PVU

Proven systems combine rigorously-tested algorithms with user-friendly interfaces for quick and consistent

MAN D&T results, ensuring that the safety of the vessel is maintained by providing timely and accurate results onboard. The

Damage Control Ofcer can quickly collect and process available data, defne the bounds of the problem, and evaluate multiple scenarios for remedial action.
