2 Engine Power and Speed
2.5 Power range limits
X62DF-S2.0
Line 5
Engine Operation
Power Limit
Admissible power limit for engine operation. The line is separated by the break-
points listed in Figure 2-3,  2-6.
Line 6
Transient Operation
Power Limit
Maximum power limit for transient operation, available only in diesel mode.
The line is separated by the breakpoints listed in Figure 2-3,  2-6.
Line 7
Nominal Engine
Characteristic
Nominal engine characteristic curve that passes through the CMCR point is de-
fined by the propeller law:
Formula 2-3
Line 8
Light Running
Propeller Curve
Propeller curve with a light running margin (typically between 4% and 7 %).
The curve is defined by the propeller law with a constant, governed by the se-
lected light running margin (Formula 2-4).
Formula 2-4
where:
P
LR
........... = propeller power at selected light running margin [kW]
P
CMCR
....... = CMCR engine power [kW]
n ............... = selected engine speed [rpm]
n
CMCR
....... = CMCR engine speed [rpm]
C .............. = constant
LR ............ = light running margin [%]
Line 9
CMCR Power
Maximum power for continuous operation.
Line 13
110% CMCR Power
Constant power overload limit, available for testbed operation and emergency
operation according to SOLAS Regulation II-1/3.6.
