Electronic engine control unit (ECU)
Functions:
• Engine speed control with fuel and speed limitation dependent on engine status and operating condi-
tions
• Data processing logistics for analog and binary signals
• Interface for data transfer to CAN field bus for remote control and ship-side monitoring
• RS 232 interface for connection of MTU dialog unit.
SOLAS – Fire safety requirements
Fuel system, fuel lines with fuel pressure >1.8 bar
SOLAS-compliant covers must be fitted to pipe joints according to MTU standard MTN5233
(→ Page 67).
Lube oil system, oil lines with oil pressure >1.8 bar
SOLAS-compliant covers must be fitted to pipe joints according to MTU standard MTN5233
(→ Page 67).
Special connections
In case of leakage, the following connection types are spray-protected even without a cover and have
been confirmed compliant with SOLAS by GL and DNV.
a) Plugs and sensors
Screw-in plugs (4) are sealed toward the outside either with a copper sealing ring (1), according to DIN,
or an O-ring (ISO).
In case of a loose thread or a defective sealing ring (1), the liquid first has to pass the thread.
The pressure is so greatly reduced by this and the faulty sealing ring (1) that any leakage is not under
pressure.
