1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This quality policy describes the Identification System for Power Stations (Kraftwerks-
Kennzeichnungssystem, KKS) including its different types of Code. It contains all essential Function-,
Equipment unit- and Component Codes of the KKS used for MDT- Diesel engine driven Power Plants
using fossil and regenerative fuels.

For the process-related code of equipment (especially for flow charts), this quality policy describes the
implementation of the KKS standards and rules for the application within MDT.

This quality policy has to be used as working tool for identification of items in projects of MDT (MAN
Diesel & Turbo) in the BU (Business Unit) Power Plants. The expressions used in this quality policy can
differ in some cases from the published standards of the official KKS guideline due to the specific
operating language in Diesel Power Plants.

1.2 Scope of Application

This quality policy is valid for all employees of the BU Power Plants for the realization of projects. To
improve the implementation in engineering, this quality policy is also embedded in specification sheets
when ordering at contractors of MDT.

1.3 Abbreviations and Definitions

2 Types of Codes and Breakdown Levels 1

In consideration of the various requirements placed on the identification of plants, sections of plants and
items of equipment in power stations, KKS has three different types of code:
 Process-related code
 Point of installation code
 Location code

These three types of code use the same identification scheme, which is subdivided into maximum four
breakdown levels:
Serial no. of
breakdown level 0 1 2 3

Figure 1: Structure oft he KKS Code [cf. VGB-B105, page 10]

The breakdown levels are composed of classifying and counting indicator parts, which consist of data
characters with alpha characters and numeric characters.

Note:
The description of the structure of the above mentioned types of code in standard to KKS follows in
sub-chapters 2.1–2.3. The KKS standards with the breakdown levels and data characters give a frame,
which has to be interpreted and defined by MDT according to their application. For the process related
code this is described in chapter 3.

2.1 Process-Related Identification

Process oriented identification of devices based on their roles in the machinery and construction
equipment, electrical and control systems. The data characters are divided into "A" (alphanumeric) and
"N" (numeric) positions.

3 Specifications for Process-Related Identification

As the KKS guidelines leave room for interpretation, specific definitions have to be made (see example
in image 5). Below are standard definitions for the process related identification in MDT are detailed.
It may still be necessary to define additional rules for a project. Those have to be decided with all
project stakeholders (MDT Lead Engineers, others), documented and communicated at the beginning
of the project.

3.1 Specification for counting individual engines and engine groups

Total plant System code Equipment unit code Component code
Designation G F0 F1 F2 F3 FN A1 A2 AN A3 B1 B2 BN
Data
A or N N A A A NN A A NNN A A A NN
character
For counting engines and engine groups the breakdown level 0 “Total plant” and the first data character
of the System code (F0) are used.

These two locations allow numeric entries with the following meaning:
00 is associated with plant related equipment
01 – 49 is associated with engine related equipment (engine counting)
50 – 99 is associated with engine group related equipment (exact definition is made at
project start)

The labeling does not distinguish between a single or multi-engine plant, meaning engine related
equipment is described with 01 in a single engine plant as well as in a multi engine plant in order to
maintain the designation structure for possible future enhancements.
The first two digits of the KKS number identify equipment assigned to a particular engine. As a rule, the
numbers 01 to 49 are used. This is sufficient for most cases (for plants with up to 49 engines). If this is
not sufficient, project specific definitions must be agreed upon at the start of the project between all
parties involved.
Equipment associated with the whole plant and not related to a certain engine or engine group is given
the label "00".
Furthermore, there is a way to identify engine groups within the plant.
The following table describes the grouping for a standard power plant:

KKS Data psoition G und F0 Meaning for the equipment labelled

00 Common piping and accessories for the Overall Plant (plant-related)
01-40 Pipes and accessories per engine (engine related)

62/63/66/67 group related)

70/71/72/73/74/75/76/77 Common piping and accessories for the sludge and leakage modules

.
The following example is meant to illustrate the application: 2

In a plant with 40 Diesel engines certain parts exist only once for the whole plant. These would then be
labeled “00”, as defined above. Another group is equipment where one is used for 20 engines. This
equipment is labeled with “50” and “60”. The designation “51”, “55”, “61” and “65” can be used for
equipment related to groups of 10 engines. The next level would be groups of five engines, labeled
“52”, “53”, “56”, “57”, “62”, “63”, “66” and “67”

character

The Data characters F1, F2 and F3 of the System code represent the function key (so- called trigram or
system key). It describes the functional attribution to a system according to the standard in VGB-B105.
Changes to a function key according to the VGB-B105 standard are permitted only if the content is not
changed.

All function keys are listed in a separate list “Systemschlüsseltabelle” in the latest version on the
Engineering Manual. Function keys not listed there may be used only after consultation with all
stakeholders of the project (responsibility of execution MDT Lead Engineer Process or Lead Electrical &
Control). The reason is that changes have to be added in the documentation and given of pipes class
and isolation class labels.

character

Counting of FN Data Characters NN (system counting) serves to differentiate similar systems, to classify
the systems into subsystems or parallel strings and for identification of modules.

For the FN- Data characters of engine internal systems and engine attached systems (mounted on the
engine) (Diesel engine as module) figures between “01” to “09” are used. For plant systems or systems
assigned but not mounted on the engine the figures “10” to “99” are used at the F N position.

Q10.09028-5003 MAN Diesel & Turbo SE

The following example shows the KKS- Identification at a Diesel engine and the engine-related
systems.

The image below shows the first Diesel engine 01 of the plant. The whole Diesel engine including the
mounted devices (module-centered) is KKS- identified “01MJA01” (so- called module system code).
The (sub-) systems, which are mounted at the Diesel engine have a function key according which
system they belong to and the FN data characters NN between “01” and “09”. For example: the engine
cooling pipe, which is mounted at the engine, has the KKS- Identification “01MJG01AP010”.

At the respective interfaces between Diesel engine and the engine-related subsystems, the system
code changes. For example: the FN data character of the charge air cooling system changes from
“01MJG02” to “01MJG20”.

.
The first numeric FN- data character is used for differentiation of systems with similar function and the 2
same function key (trigram), which belong to the engine or the plant. The following example shows this.
The Diesel engine has several engine-related cooling water systems, which are all marked with the
function key “MJG”. For differentiation of these independent systems, the first numeral of the FN data
character is used. The counting begins at the systems, which belongs to the engine or the plant at “1”
and continues.

Example:
01 MJG1 engine cooling water system
01 MJG2 charge air cooling water system
01 MJG3 nozzle cooling water system

The second numeric FN- data character divides the system in sub-systems and modules. The counting
begins at “0” for the higher-level system (main system). The sub- systems or modules within follow with
the numbers “1” to “9”.

Note:
All devices, which are attached to a sub- system or a module respectivly installed devices get the same
system code as the according higher-level system, sub-system or module (see also determinations for
equipment unit code in sub-chapter 3.3).

Determination of the system code at modules

Modules get determined at breakdown level 1 System code by the F N data character. The counting
continues independently, whether the modules are constructed in the same way or not.

Image 7 below makes this clear:

In example 7, a subzone of the plant-related control air system 00QFB10 is illustrated. The counting is
continuing and independent, whether the modules are constructed in the same way or not.

Filtering module 1 of control air (identical to filter module 2): 00 QFC12

Filtering module 2 of control air (identical to filter module 1): 00 QFC13
Pressure reducing module: 00 QFB11

Note:
Free-standing facilities or components, which are arranged in the system (like pumps, tanks and
armatures, which do not belong to a module) get the system code of the higher-level main-system or
sub-system.

These are the following devices (equipment units) in Figure 7:

00 QFB10 BR007
00 QFB10 AA617
00 QFB10 AA603
00 QFB10 AA618
00 QFB10 AA201

The second digit of the FN- data character in this example is always “0”.

Q10.09028-5003 MAN Diesel & Turbo SE

The priorities for the allocation of counting numbers NNN for valves are:
 High priority: safety
 Standard priority: regulate
 Low priority: control

Determination of the Equipment unit code for devices (components/ equipments) on modules
The Identification of components or facilities which are identical in construction and arrangement on
identical modules is done with identical Equipment unit code (A1 and A2) and Equipment unit counting
(AN Data Character NNN). The necessary differentiation in arrangement is made by the Equipment unit
counting AN at the unit position NNN with the same decade NNN.

In the example of image 7, you can see this for the filter modules with identical construction 00 QFC12
and 00 QFC 13.
00 QFC12 AT030 (identical in construction and arrangement to 00 QFC13 AT030)
00 QFC13 AT030 (identical in construction and arrangement to 00 QFC12 AT030)
00 QFC12 AT031 (identical in construction and arrangement to 00 QFC13 AT031)
00 QFC13 AT031 (identical in construction and arrangement to 00 QFC12 AT031)

Identification of the components or facilities which are not identical in construction and arrangement is
accomplished according to continuing assignment with equipment unit code and equipment unit number
of counting at decade. In the example of Figure 6, this can be found on the pressure-reducing module
00 QFC 12 for the device 00 QFC12 AT040.

Determination of the Equipment unit code for devices (components/ equipments) in systems
Identification of free-standing components or facilities, which are identical in construction (not defined
as a module) in a main system or subsystem is made continuous with identical Equipment unit key (A1
and A2) and decade NNN and equipment unit counting (AN data character NNN). In Equipment unit
counting, these components or facilities are differentiated by the unit position NNN.

The distinction of different free-standing components or facilities is accomplished by a consecutively

numbered decade NNN at the equipment unit counting AN.

The assignment of the equipment unit numbering could be as following:

Filter number 1 architecture A: 00 QFC 12 AT040
Filter number 2 architecture B (identical to filter number 3): 00 QFC 12 AT030
Filter number 3 architecture B (identical to filter number 2): 00 QFC 12 AT031

Determination of equipment unit code at piping

The Identification of piping differs from standard VGB-B105. The most important differentiation to the
standard is that no change in KKS Identification occurs after changing the diameter, for example after a
reduction. This makes the P&IDs easier to read. The graphical depiction and management of piping
KKS - Mechanical Engineering

diameters is handled in the drawing software.

Figure 6: Example for identification of piping and junctions

Changes in KKS Identification will be made:

 At junctions like air-vents and drains
 Before/after modules
 Before/after equipments or components (also at modules)
 At system-limits
 At supply-limits

This change of KKS Identification of the piping can refer both to system code and equipment unit code.

In Figure 6, you can see this for KKS identification at piping. Specific determinations will be made by the
project stakeholders when at the start of the project.

character
KKS - Mechanical Engineering

The data character A of the additional code A3 can be used for further differentiation of devices, if it is
necessary. Normally, the data character A of A3 is not necessary and therefore not used.
The kind of handling has to be arranged by the project stakeholders. An example for the usage of this
data character is if two thermo elements are mounted at the same temperature test point. In this case
the first thermo element gets the character “A” on the A3 position, the second one is assigned the letter
“B”.

The Data Characters B1 and B2 of breakdown level 3 Component code represent the Component key.
The Component key classifies the components according to the VGB-B105 standard. The BN- Data
characters NN can be used for component counting.

Normally, the Component code is not in use at MDT.

Exceptions can be for example:

1. Electric drives (motors or magnets)

The VGB-B105 standard contains guidelines for the notation of the KKS- identifications and describes
two options:
1. Small spacing: Between the breakdown levels Plant system-, Equipment unit- and
Component code: one space each
2. Large spacing: Same as 1, but additionally one space between the letters and
numbers in each level of breakdown.
At the Business Unit Power Plants at MDT, small spacing is in use at drawings and accompanying
documents.

The multiline notation is used on drawings and (specifically on P&IDs). By using pre-fabricated labels in
CAE- applications (single- line at equipments and measuring points, otherwise double-spaced), the
notation on drawings is predefined for the user.
The two figures below show the notation for different objects.

4 Determinations of the Location code

The identification of the location is led by the engineering-data bank for each object as an attribute. The
location for every object:
1. is preset by the area limits shown on the P&ID
2. The complete Location code (including floor- and room-number) has to be defined by placing
the object in the 3D model or assigned manually in the data bank.

Flanges have to be defined at the supply-limits of pipes. The supply-limits normally correlate with the
area limits.
The rules for Location codes must be taken from VGB-B105 and from the KKS- guideline of the Civil-
department (PEC).
