I think I recognize the little generator on the port side as having a Stamford Newage electrical end , and what looks like a Perkins 4-154 on the stb side . Interesting , adjusting fuel delivery per cylinder while running .
+Patrik Åkerström You could be right . Can't see it closely , both were used as generator prime movers . edit : Now I'm looking on my desktop , you are correct . I remember some of those 4.236s having balancer/oil pump assemblies that would break but otherwise were decent engines . Kohler generators used the 4.154 (made by Mazda) in a 20KW marine generator .
I see some evidence of riveted hull construction and all machinery is 30+ years old. Must be the restoration of an older vessel. Gloriously simple and easy to maintain. OH..... now I see ..... it's the old Typhoon that used to have the MWM.
You mean this one in the video, or diesel engines in general? Those honkin' big 12 and 14-cylinder RT-flex-96 monsters (in container ships) have a "bare idle" speed of 22rpm and a top speed of 120rpm (which is pretty fast for an engine that's 44ft tall). This ABC engine in this video was idling at about 350 rpm and would top out at 1000 rpm at most. As a comparison, modern diesels in trucks today idle at 650-700, top out at anywhere from 1600-2400 (depending on whose engine) and are designed to cruise around 1300-1400rpms, and work down to provide maximum torque (to avoid having to downshift a gear) at about 1150-1250 rpm. 40yrs ago, one popular make of engine found in trucks, liked to rev up to 2200-2400 (and sometimes more) to produce their peak power output. Despite sounding like they were on the verge of blowing up, and deafening anyone nearby, they lasted a fairly long time, and leaked oil everywhere, all the time. Diesels have come a long way, and I, personally, am thankful for that !
Ik ben blij met het geluid van deze ABC M/E. Alsjeblieft, als beoordeling kilowatt en toerentalbereik? Ook, zijn deze motoren omkeerbaar of heeft deze boot reversable propellers? Dank u wel. Now in English:@Pjil S.: I am almost certain that he is checking compression of each cylinder to check for same pressure for all cylinders.
On my youtube account are some startups from bigger ABC engines, and they don't move any at all. I also think it's strange that they move like that when starting up......
He was closing the indicator cocks - left open to check for water in each cylinder. The engine was first tuned over a couple of revs on air manually. When it is verified that there is no water vapor coming out, the cocks are closed and the engine started.
Nothing to do with the engine, but I like how some companies still have enough pride in their heritage to require their employees to wear proper uniforms; instead of dressing like slobs.
+stereopolice It may be a european thing. On the few ships I worked on, all engineers wore boiler suits mostly the entire day, only changing out when going to eat and similar.
+stereopolice Uniforms do not make the proper job.... I understand what you mean,but it's only being nostalgic of an non existent old era. Peoples are not soldiers or robots,uniforms are only a tradition from wars,and make you think the rigor in work go with it. If you look at picures of workers in the periods where they were the most used,they do not wear "proper" uniforms at all...
Bjoern Tiedemann That's right, he sets the fuel pump of each cylinder so that combustion pressure at idle RPM (gauge depicted 350 rpm's), and as a result power delivery is equal in all cylinders, to avoid uneven stresses to engine components. What type of engine is this exactly, in 1983 ABC delivered an engine of type 6DCZ (rated 1305kW) to Belgian railways for tests in their locomotive 6005, and the same engine went back to ABC in 1990 and was built into a ship.
I assume Kiene valves. Common on large engines to spin it over with the valves open to make sure there is no fluid in the cylinder before starting the engine. The valve is also used to check combustion pressure.
Really starting to like ABC engines very well built sound awesome under load!
Lovely how precisely you can adjust the injectors!

+Guy C. I´m guessing that´s an Perkins 4,236 in a genset option.

This is one nice ass engine room
Mooi karretje. Nog wat finetunen.
I thought it was important that engines were rigidly fastened to frame. Should it move like that when starting ? Nice vid though.
I just want to know what the process is that he's doing to start it.
It's amazing at how low of an RPM these beasts run at.

+Jonas Lichtdrager 1214 kW dus zon 1600 pk en kan volgens mij max 1000 toeren maar vaak wordt gevaren met 750 toeren max.
+SikuProductions32 klopt, en als antwoord op de vraag van Jonas,deze boot heeft een keer koppeling.(schroef met vaste spoed.)

+ShippingHarbors Probably this one is on soft rubber shock absorbers and the other ABC engines have stiffer absorbers, or none at all?
+sjem618 correct! They have no absorbers at all.
The engine seemes to have rubber element for vibration at the mount studs

@@PaulSmith-os4xn did you even read his comment dummy?
@@PaulSmith-os4xnbefore any revolution is made, the oil pressure must reach a minimum value, with a spring loaded piston.
Beautiful iron...

michaelovitch Disagreed; but for don't much care to argue with a standard youtube naysayer.
+stereopolice
Standard is synonym of uniform.
I'm a proper youtuber so ; )
michaelovitch Well, then it's a synonym "for" uniform, not "of" uniform; since you are proper and all.
I guess he is checking and adjusting fuel pressure with a metric gauge, since I am in America i don't know the what scale or conversion is used.
Het is de gemiddelde geïnduceerde druk, hij moet niet te lang de indicatorkraan laten opstaan want die meter wordt gloeiend heet!
What's he calibrating ?, compression, fuel, injectors ? Looks like the fuel pressure at each injector for each cylinder.
Looks like he is measuring the maximum combustion pressure in low idle to check equal fuel delivery to each cylinder.
Bjoern Tiedemann That's right, he sets the fuel pump of each cylinder so that combustion pressure at idle RPM (gauge depicted 350 rpm's), and as a result power delivery is equal in all cylinders, to avoid uneven stresses to engine components.
What type of engine is this exactly, in 1983 ABC delivered an engine of type 6DCZ (rated 1305kW) to Belgian railways for tests in their locomotive 6005, and the same engine went back to ABC in 1990 and was built into a ship.
But, the gauge was showing 36 bar. That's lower than what I normally see for diesel. For old mechanical diesel I usually see around 110-130 bar.
+windstarpro thats injector pressure, this is the conbustion pressure in the cilinder , at this rpm its about 35 bar, at no load.
The gauge is measuring the charge air firing pressure in the cylinder, not the fuel injection pressure.
Make PDS when the engine is underloud.over 70% load
What sort of break in is required?
Very old fashioned engine, but still pretty nice.
well built engine
What are the wheels that he turned next to the push rods housings? Thanks
I assume Kiene valves. Common on large engines to spin it over with the valves open to make sure there is no fluid in the cylinder before starting the engine. The valve is also used to check combustion pressure.
Engine RPM not so plisse help me
Is that engine suppose to move like that when starting up
I don't think so
What is he test fuel pressure ?
He is testing firing pressure in the cylinder, by comparing firing pressures the engine fuel injectors can be adjusted for even fuel delivery.
Damn, new with a design from the 70's?
I was initially impressed that this "old" engine is so well maintained.... Then I read new.....
U boat
