• Control system with more precise timing, giving
better engine balance with equalized thermal
load in and between cylinders
• System comprising performance, adequate
monitoring and diagnostics of engine for longer
time between overhauls
• Lower rpm possible for manoeuvring
• Better acceleration, astern and crash stop per
formance
• Integrated Alpha Cylinder Lubricators
• Upgradable to software development over the
lifetime of the engine
It is a natural consequence of the above that
many more features and operating modes are fea
sible with our fully integrated control system and,
as such, will be retrottable and eventually offered
to owners of ME engines.
Differences between MC/MC-C and
ME/ME-C engines
The electrohydraulic control mechanisms of the
ME engine replace the following components of
the conventional MC engine:
• Chain drive for camshaft
• Camshaft with fuel cams, exhaust cams and
indicator cams
• Fuel pump actuating gear, including roller
guides and reversing mechanism
• Conventional fuel pressure booster and VIT system
• Exhaust valve actuating gear and roller guides
• Engine driven starting air distributor
• Electronic governor with actuator
• Regulating shaft
• Engine side control console
• Mechanical cylinder lubricators.
The new Engine Control System of the ME engine
comprises:
• Control units
• Hydraulic power supply unit
• Hydraulic cylinder units, including:
• Electronically controlled fuel injection, and
• Electronically controlled exhaust valve activa
tion
• Electronically controlled starting air valves
• Electronically controlled auxiliary blowers
• Integrated electronic governor functions
• Tacho system
• Electronically controlled Alpha lubricators
• Local Operating Panel (LOP)
• MAN Diesel PMI system, type PT/S offline,
cylinder pressure monitoring system.
The system can be further extended by optional
systems, such as:
• Condition Monitoring System, CoCoSEDS
