2 Engine Power and Speed
2.7 Prohibited operation area
X72DF
As seen in
, the prohibited operation area of an engine is de
-
fined by an engine tuned to an R1
—
R2 speed. At this speed rating the restriction
exists between 70 % and 100% speed, with a required minimum engine power at
these points of 5.8 % and 17%, respectively. These values are governed by the
If the CMCR speed rating of the engine is less than the R1
—
R2 speed, the re
-
quired minimum power at this point is also calculated by the Line 11 equation.
Line 11
The lowest operational power limit, between 70% of R1
—
R2 speed and 100 %
CMCR speed, is defined by the following equation:
Formula 2
-

As calculated by this equation and shown in
, at 70% of
R1
—
R2 speed the minimum engine power equals approximately 5.8 % of the
CMCR power (point E). The minimum power requirement at 100 % CMCR
speed (point F) must be calculated depending on the engine rating. Examples of
this calculation are shown further on.
Line 12
While operating at 100 % CMCR speed, the allowed engine power can range be
-
tween the minimum required power (point F) and 100 % CMCR power.
Field A
The available design range of the engine is defined by Line 7, Line 11 and Line
12.

NOTE
For test purposes, the engine may run within the prohibited operation
area for a maximum of 30 minutes during testing and sea trials. This
operation is only permissible at low load and in the presence of author
-
ised representatives of the engine builder. Further requests must be
agreed upon by WinGD.
NOTE
The operational design range must respect the Barred Speed Range
(BSR) limits from torsional vibration.
