Loading capacity
Controlled load increase is essential for highly supercharged diesel engines, because the
turbocharger needs time to accelerate before it can deliver the required amount of air. Sufficient
time to achieve even temperature distribution in engine components must also be ensured.
This is especially important for larger engines.
If the control system has only one load increase ramp, then the ramp for a preheated engine
should be used. The HT-water temperature in a preheated engine must be at least 60 ºC,
preferably 70 ºC, and the lubricating oil temperature must be at least 40 ºC.
The ramp for normal loading applies to engines that have reached normal operating
temperature.
Emergency loading may only be possible by activating an emergency function, which generates
visual and audible alarms in the control room and on the bridge.
The load should always be applied gradually in normal operation. Class rules regarding load
acceptance capability of diesel generators should not be interpreted as guidelines on how to
apply load in normal operation. The class rules define what the engine must be capable of, if
an unexpected event causes a sudden load step.

Maximum load increase rates for variable speed engines
If minimum smoke during load increase is a major priority, slower loading rate than in the
diagram can be necessary below 50% load.
In normal operation the load should not be reduced from 100% to 0% in less than 15 seconds.
When absolutely necessary, the load can be reduced as fast as the pitch setting system can
react (overspeed due to windmilling must be considered for high speed ships).
