Components for Fuel Oil System
Fuel oil centrifuges
The manual cleaning type of centrifuges are
not to be recommended. Centrifuges must be
selfcleaning, either with total discharge or with
partial discharge.
Distinction must be made between installations
for:
• Specific gravities < 0.991 (corresponding to ISO
8217 and British Standard 6843 from RMA to
RMH, and CIMAC from A to Hgrades
• Specific gravities > 0.991 and (corresponding to
CIMAC Kgrades).
For the latter specific gravities, the manufacturers
have developed special types of centrifuges, e.g.:
Alfa Laval ........................................................Alcap
Westfalia ....................................................... Unitrol
Mitsubishi .............................................. EHidens II
The centrifuge should be able to treat approxi-
mately the following quantity of oil:
0.23 litres/kWh
This figure includes a margin for:
• Water content in fuel oil
• Possible sludge, ash and other impurities in the
fuel oil
• Increased fuel oil consumption, in connection
with other conditions than ISO standard condition
• Purifier service for cleaning and maintenance.
The size of the centrifuge has to be chosen ac-
cording to the supplier’s table valid for the select-
ed viscosity of the Heavy Fuel Oil. Normally, two
centrifuges are installed for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO),
each with adequate capacity to comply with the
above recommendation.
A centrifuge for Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) is not a
must. However, MAN Diesel & Turbo recommends
that at least one of the HFO purifiers can also
treat MDO.
If it is decided after all to install an individual puri-
fier for MDO on board, the capacity should be
based on the above recommendation, or it should
be a centrifuge of the same size as that for HFO.
The Nominal MCR is used to determine the to-
tal installed capacity. Any derating can be taken
into consideration in borderline cases where the
centrifuge that is one step smaller is able to cover
Specified MCR .
Fuel oil supply pump
This is to be of the screw or gear wheel type.
Fuel oil viscosity, specified .... up to 700 cSt at 50 °C
Fuel oil viscosity maximum ......................1,000 cSt
Pump head ......................................................4 bar
Fuel oil flow ........................ see ‘List of Capacities’
Delivery pressure ............................................4 bar
Working temperature ................................... 100 °C
Minimum temperature .................................... 50 °C
The capacity stated in ‘List of Capacities’ is to be ful-
filled with a tolerance of: ÷0% to +15% and shall also
be able to cover the backflushing, see ‘Fuel oil filter’.
Fuel oil circulating pump
This is to be of the screw or gear wheel type.
Fuel oil viscosity, specified .... up to 700 cSt at 50 °C
Fuel oil viscosity normal ................................20 cSt
Fuel oil viscosity maximum ......................1,000 cSt
Fuel oil flow ........................ see ‘List of Capacities’
Pump head ......................................................6 bar
Delivery pressure .......................................... 10 bar
Working temperature ................................... 150 °C
The capacity stated in ‘List of Capacities’ is to be ful-
filled with a tolerance of: ÷0% to +15% and shall also
be able to cover the backflushing, see ‘Fuel oil filter’.
Pump head is based on a total pressure drop in
filter and preheater of maximum 1.5 bar.
