Q.

Nox technical file

A record containing all details of parameters, including components and settings of an engine, which may influence
the NOx emission of the engine.

Now there are certain NOx emission levels set by the MARPOL Annex VI. The requirements of these emission
levels are divided into three tiers.

 Tier I
A Marine diesel engine that is installed on a ship constructed on or after 1 January 2000 and prior to 1 January
2011 fall under Tier I.

 Tier II
A Marine diesel engine that is installed on a ship constructed on or after 1 January 2011 fall under Tier II.

 Tier III
for the ships operating in an emission control area designated for Tier III NOx control
for the ship is constructed on or after 1 January 2016 and is operating in the North American Emission Control
Area or the United States Caribbean Sea Emission Control Area

Compliance with NOx emission involves few parameters and records. Let us discuss this one by one.

1-Engine International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate (EIAPP)

Must be present on board. And this certificate needs to be for each of the diesel engines more than 130KW on

board. Because the NOx requirements are applicable for diesel engines more than 13oKW power.

EIAPP certificate is issued after the engine is found to be complying with the NOx emission requirements during
the pre-certification survey.
The pre-certification means the survey done before fitting the engine on board the ship.

2- International Air pollution prevention certificate (IAPP)

After the engines are fitted on the ship, the test is again done on the engines for compliance with the NOx criteria.

If the engines are found to in compliance with the NOx criteria of annex VI, International air pollution prevention

certificate is issued to the ship.

 3- NOx on board Verification

 Engine Parameter Check method

 Simplified Measurement method
 Direct Measurement and Monitoring method

NOx technical file contains information about

 identification of those components, settings and operating values of the engine which influences its NOx emissions

 Allowable adjustments on the engine

 on board NOx verification procedures to verify compliance with the NOx emission limits during on board

verification surveys

What is governor ?

 Governor is a device which controls the speed of engine automatically in the

prescribed limits.
 The governor does its job in two steps.
 By measuring the speed and
 By controlling the a amount of fuel supply to the engine.
What is the function of governors ?

 To adjust the rate of fuel supply in such a way as to keep the engine running at a steady speed regardless of the
load.
 To control the engine running at a steady speed under all conditions of load.
What is governor droop?

 When considering the engine and governor combination, the difference between the no load speed
and full load speed is called governor droop.
 Small droop results in rapid swing.
 Large drop results in slower response to change in speed.
What are the types of governors ?

1. Mechanical governor.
2. Hydraulic governor.
3. Inertia governor [fitted on older slow speed engine]
2
 4. Electronic governor.
What is compensation ?

 The use of temporary speed droop to prevent over correction of the fuel supply is called compensation.
It require two actions:

1. Droop application – as the fuel supply is changed

2. Droop removal – as the engine response to the fuel change and returns to
original speed .
What types of governor used in G/E and M/E ?

 G/E governor is a droop speed governor with over speed trip.

 M/E governor is a constant speed governor with over speed trip.
Why over speed trip is fitted in main engine ?

 It is fitted to control the sudden load change and sudden increase in speed. e.g severe load change when loss of
propeller in heavy sea .
 Thus, to prevent engine parts damage, over speed trip is provided.
 Set the speed 15% more than MCR.
 It is attached at camshaft through gearing.
 If engine speed rise more than 10 to 15% above the rated speed, It shut of fuel & stops the engine.
 The mechanism has to be manually reset before engine start again.
Why hydraulic servo governor is widely used ?

 Hydraulic governor is widely used because of their:

1. sensitivity
2. isochronous and
3. having grater power to move the fuel control mechanism of the engine .
What is hunting of governor ?

 It is a fluctuation of engine speed due to the over correction of the fuel supply. (too much increase or decrease fuel
supply)
What is the cause of engine hunting ?

 It is unavoidable time lag between the movement of the governor act and the movement of engine response.
What is isochronous governor ?

 It is a constant speed governor.

 It is able to maintain exactly constant speed without hunting.
 This type of governor that has proportional and reset is called isochronous governor.
What will happen when over speed occurred ?

 Engine revolving and reciprocating parts may damage due to inertia effects.
Why will you test G/E over speed trip ?

 It can be tested by increasing the engine speed by speed adjuster at no load condition.
 Over speed trip will cut-out the fuel supply at 115% of normal speed.

3
Why speed droop governor is used at G/E ?

 It is fitted to get load sharing ability since isochronous governor gives constant speed, thus cannot share the load.
 AVR is fitted at alternator.
Why over speed trip provided although governor fitted ?

 Governor only control the engine speed in prescribed limits.

 When accidental sudden load change from full load to no load happens, engine speed become too high above 15%
of rated speed.
 Due to time delay of governor control, engine parts may become damage.
 Thus to prevent this effect over speed trip must be provided to shut down the engine by cutting fuel.
Note: It need to reset before restart the engine.
How to operate/act isochronous governor ?

 It maintains constant speed without hunting.

 Speed droop for it is temporary
It has 2 actions:

1. Droop application (as fuel supply is changed)

2. Droop removal (as engine responses to fuel change and returns to original speed)
What is sensitivity ?

 Ability to control the engine speed, within narrow limits

Why Inertia type Governor is not used nowadays ?

 Although very simple type, it requires an engine speed increase of 5% or more to make it operate.
 In some cases, increase of engine speed will bring into or near to critical speed that can cause severe vibration.
What are the governor maintenance carried out on ships ?
 Periodically check oil level
 Change the governor oil
 Grease the linkage and join
