Low load optimization (optional)
During low load operation in gas mode (below 25% load), up to one third of the cylinders can
be deactivated. The remaining cylinders will be operating at a higher load, thus more efficiently.
Only the fuel will be deactivated, the valve train is operational in all cylinders and air is pumped
through the deactivated cylinders. The deactivation is circulated between the cylinders in order
to balance the thermal load. If load demand increase then cylinder deactivation is automatically
switched off and the cylinders will instantly start firing in normal order.
The major benefit of low load optimization is remarkable increase of efficiency and huge
decrease of emissions! From efficiency point of view, an increase of 4% is reached at 10%
load. Emission reduction up to 80% of THC, 60% of CO and 25% of NOx emissions can be
expected at 10% load. Furthermore remarkable reductions of formaldehyde and CO2.
This optional feature is applicable for constant speed engines. The standard component life
time, overhaul intervals and load taking capability apply for a low load optimized Wärtsilä
34DF.

Start
14.2.2.1
Start blocking
Starting is inhibited by the following functions:
●
Stop lever in stop position
●
Turning device engaged
●
Pre-lubricating pressure low (override if black-out input is high and within last 30 minutes
after the pressure has dropped below the set point of 0.5 bar)
●
Stop signal to engine activated (safety shut-down, emergency stop, normal stop)
●
External start block active
●
Exhaust gas ventilation not performed
●
HFO selected or fuel oil temperature > 70°C (Gas mode only)
