Resilient mounting
In order to reduce vibrations and structure borne noise, main engines can be resiliently mounted
on rubber elements. The transmission of forces emitted by the engine is 10-20% when using
resilient mounting.
Two different mounting arrangements are applied. Cylinder configurations 6L, 8L, 12V and
16V are mounted on conical rubber mounts, which are similar to the mounts used under
generating sets. The mounts are fastened directly to the engine feet with a hydraulically
tightened bolt. To enable drilling of holes in the foundation after final alignment adjustments
the mount is fastened to an intermediate steel plate, which is fixed to the foundation with one
bolt. The hole in the foundation for this bolt can be drilled through the engine foot. A resin
chock is cast under the intermediate steel plate.
Cylinder configuration 9L is mounted on cylindrical rubber elements. These rubber elements
are mounted to steel plates in groups, forming eight units. These units, or resilient elements,
each consist of an upper steel plate that is fastened directly to the engine feet, rubber elements
and a lower steel plate that is fastened to the foundation. The holes in the foundation for the
fastening bolts can be drilled through the holes in the engine feet, when the engine is finally
aligned to the reduction gear. The resilient elements are compressed to the calculated height
under load by using M30 bolts through the engine feet and distance pieces between the two
steel plates. Resin chocks are then cast under the resilient elements. Shims are provided for
installation between the engine feet and the resilient elements to facilitate alignment adjustments
in vertical direction. Steel chocks must be used under the side and end buffers located at
each corner if the engine.
