    MAN B&W Diesel A/S: Service Letter

    Uploaded by

    Aleksandar Sasa Seferovic
    MAN B&W Diesel A/S issued a service letter to address reports of cold corrosion occurring in lower parts of exhaust valve housings on S70MC and S80MC Mark V engines, in areas previously unaffected. The letter describes a modification to the cooling water flow through the housings that has been tested over one year with good results. Specifically, the cooling water inlet was changed from the bottom of the housing to a side pipe connection to increase duct wall temperatures and prevent acid condensation. A retrofit kit is available to implement the modification on engines in service.

    Countermeasures against Cold Corrosion
    in Exhaust Valve Housing

    Dear Sirs,

    Cold corrosion as experienced in some exhaust valve housings


    have, in general, been eliminated by the application of a heavy
    duct exhaust valve housing in combination with a by-pass
    cooling water arrangement introduced on the Mark V engines.

    Recently, however, we have received a number of reports stating


    that cold corrosion has also occurred on S70MC and S80MC Mark V
    engines, however, at positions which were formerly free of cold
    corrosion, viz. in the lowermost part of the gas duct, adjacent
    to the bottom piece.

    We have therefore modified the cooling water flow, and this has
    been tested in service for more than one year with good
    results.

    The modified cooling water flow gives a general increase in the


    duct wall temperature, particularly in the area subject to
    condensation of sulphuric acid.

    As illustrated on the enclosed sketches (Figs. 1 & 2), the


    cooling water inlet to the valve housing has changed position.
    Originally it was taken directly from the cylinder cover (A,
    Fig. 1) into the bottom of the housing. Now the inlet is taken
    from a pipe connection on the outlet pipe from the cylinder
    cover (B, Fig. 2).

    Orifice plates inserted in the outlet pipes from the cylinder


    cover and exhaust valve housing, respectively, control the
    cooling water flow amount through the valve housing (C & D,
    Fig. 2).

    The original inlet at the bottom of the valve housing has been
    plugged with a fitting through which the valve housing can be
    drained.

    On engines in service, the above modification can be retro-


    fitted. The retrofit kit includes the necessary pipes, fittings
    and a drilling jig.

    The design of new housings has been updated in accordance with


    the above. Future deliveries of spare housings will be fully
    interchangeable with housings that are modified with the
    retrofit kit.

    For further details and enquiries, please contact our Diesel


    Service department, or the engine builder.

    Yours faithfully,

    MAN B&W Diesel A/S
