Wärtsilä W50DF – Properties & Conclusions

COMPACTNESS

  • Most powerful four-stroke dualfuel engine
  • Simple and robust design
  • Controlled by an advanced automation system

HIGH EFFICIENCY

  • High output with fuel flexibility
  • Low emission rates
  • Provides the same output with natural gas or on LFO/HFO

HIGH FLEXIBILITY

  • A pilot fuel ignited lean-burn gas engine
  • Instant switch-over capability to back-up fuel
  • Monoblock injection pump and engine-driven pilot fuel pump

EASY MAINTENANCE

  • Long component lifetime and time between overhauls
  • Hydraulic jack for easy manoeuvring of the bearing cap
  • Large scale of common components with Wärtsilä 32DF and Wärtsilä 46

BUILT-IN EXPERIENCE

  • Basic design from Wärtsilä 46 engine
  • Anti-polishing ring consept
  • Proven lean-burn technology with conventional diesel fuel technology

Maintenance

  • A large opening into the crankcase and camshaft to facilitate checking and maintenance
  • The three-piece connecting rod allows inspection of the big end bearing without removal of the piston, and piston overhaul without dismantling the big end bearing
  • The camshaft is built of identical cylinder segments fastened to intermediate bearing pieces
  • The pilot fuel pump is located in the free end of the engine
  • Easy access to the piping systems is obtained by removing the insulating panels
  • Electrically controlled gas admission valves reduce the need for mechanical parts and periodic adjustments
  • A resiliently mounted insulating box provides easy access to the exhaust system

Condition-based maintenance

Condition-based maintenance
