    Service Letter SL01-397/HH


    November 2001

    New W-seat Exhaust Valve Bottom Piece


    26-98MC/MC-C/MC-S Engines
    Action Code: WHEN CONVENIENT

    Dear Sirs

    In our efforts to improve the performance and reliability of the wear parts of
    MAN B&W two-stroke engines, we announced, earlier this year, the introduction of
    the W-seat exhaust valve bottom piece on new engines, and as spare parts for plants
    in service.

    The introduction is based on extensive service tests lasting up to four years, with
    extraordinarily good service results.

    The primary advantage of the new design is the increased time between overhauls,
    owing to minimal indentation marks and reduced wear of the valve seats.

    In addition, it has been confirmed that the new bottom piece seat design is compatible
    with all former and present standard valve spindle hard-facings, including Nimonic
    valve spindles. This means that all existing MC engine bottom piece designs can be
    replaced with the new W-seat design.

    In order to obtain the full benefit from the W-seat, we draw your attention to the below
    important points:

    •= If a spindle seat with indentation marks from service with a former standard
    bottom piece is paired with the W-seat, there is a risk that too large indentation
    marks may lead to blow-by.

    •= When replacing a former standard bottom piece with a W-seat bottom piece,
    either grind the remaining indentation marks on the valve spindle seat, so as to
    reduce their size to less than 2 mm in diameter, or install a new valve spindle.

    •= During regular overhaul of exhaust valves with the W-seat, minor gas leaks
    across the exhaust valve seat do not require grinding of the seat.

    •= For plants experiencing failure of the lowermost O-ring between the regular
    overhaul intervals, we recommend to apply the new “U-type” sealing ring. The
    U-type ring ensures a heat resistant seal, and it is available for the engine
    types K/L/S26-70MC/MC(E)/MC-C/MC-S.

    The above recommendations also apply to Nimonic valve spindles.

    Questions or comments regarding this SL should be directed to our Dept. 2300.

    Yours faithfully
    MAN B&W Diesel A/S
