The GUY Energy Solutions ME-GA Otto- cycle engine that lately finished gas tests in an LNG provider developed by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries (HSHI) has an engine control system with a brand-new “first,” a control function called “ME-GA-opti” that supplies optimum engine procedure via specific cyndrical tube control.
On order for Norwegian delivering firm, Knutsen OAS Shipping, the LNG provider, initially gotten in 2nd quarter 2021, is the very first LNG provider in a collection presently incomplete at the shipyard and is set up for distribution in July 2023. It is powered by guy B&W ME-GA dual-fuel engines with the ability of working on gas oil and LNG, and features Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) for discharge decrease.
“We have made EGR standard for the ME-GA, thereby reducing methane slip compared to first-generation Otto-cycle engines without EGR, which simultaneously improves fuel efficiency in both gas and fuel-oil operation,” claimed Bjarne Foldager, elderly vice head of state and head of two-stroke organization at guyEnergy Solutions “ME-GA-opti continues this trend and will further boost the ME-GA’s reputation.”
“ME-GA=opti is the latest and most advanced control feature for the ME-GA engine and significantly improves its operation,” claimed Thomas S. Hansen, Head of Promotion and Customer Support, GUYEnergy Solutions “It comprises an advanced and intelligent network of control algorithms that have been developed to optimize the combustion process on an individual-cylinder basis, and which ensure optimal operating conditions. I’m certain it will be received well by the market.”
ME-GA-opti’s smart performance advantages engine efficiency in a number of methods, consisting of by:
- guaranteeing maximized problems for the burning procedure by lowering the impacts of ambient temperature level, stress and moisture that can affect Otto- cycle engines;
- allowing optimum and secure gas capacity for the engine;
- lowering fuel-ratio control activation– MEGA-opti has the ability to adjust the engine’s operating problems as the burning relocates in the direction of the pre-ignition limitation.
