Very unequal exhaust gas temperatures in a WÄRTSILÄ Engine can stem from issues such as problems with exhaust gas temperature, fuel feed pressure, fuel injection, or a partly clogged exhaust pipe or turbine nozzle ring. This can lead to significant load differences between cylinders, causing high thermal overload in individual cylinders.
What causes abnormally high cooling water outlet temperature in WÄRTSILÄ Engine?
An abnormally high cooling water outlet temperature, coupled with a large temperature difference between the inlet and outlet in a WÄRTSILÄ Engine, can arise from a faulty temperature sensor, a clogged circulating water cooler, insufficient cooling water flow, or a malfunctioning thermostat valve.
What causes too high lubricating oil temperature in WÄRTSILÄ Engine?
Excessively high lubricating oil temperature in a WÄRTSILÄ Engine can be attributed to a faulty thermometer, insufficient cooling water flow through the oil cooler (due to a faulty pump, air in the system, or a closed valve), a clogged oil cooler, or a faulty thermostat valve.
Why does my WÄRTSILÄ Engine suddenly stop?
A WÄRTSILÄ Engine may stop due to a shortage of fuel, the automatic stop device tripping, a faulty governor or governor drive, or a faulty power supply to the automation system.
Why is there water in the charge air receiver of my WÄRTSILÄ Engine?
Water in the charge air receiver of a WÄRTSILÄ Engine, escaping through the drain pipe in the air cooler housing, may be due to leaky air coolers or condensation from too low charge air cooling water temperature.
What causes too high lubricating oil pressure in WÄRTSILÄ Engine?
Too high lubricating oil pressure in a WÄRTSILÄ Engine can be related to a faulty pressure sensor or lubricating oil pressure control valve.
