The innovation team Wärtsilä introduces its FuelFlex Injection Control Unit (ICU) updating remedy to satisfy the needs of running its RT-flex kind two-stroke diesel motor with both recurring and also low-viscosity aquatic gas.
This is especially pertinent because the sector’s raising use low-sulfur-content gas in order to be certified with sulphur discharge laws. The updating remedy is readily available for retrofitting on vessels with Wärtsilä RT-flex96C-B and also RT-flex84T-D two-stroke engines.
ICUs provide a specifically regulated amount of gas right into the cyndrical tube sometimes periods, consequently making sure reliable burning at any type of engine lots.

The precision of the gas metering and also shot timing can be influenced by leaks in the piston and also shutoffs within the ICU, with the gas thickness, stress differential and also clearances having an effect on the quantity of leak. The updated Wärtsilä Injection Control Unit is made to attend to such problems.
Earlier generation ICUs were made for constant procedure with recurring gas, and also their long-lasting usage with generally low-viscosity gas might lead to much shorter element life. The brand-new FuelFlex ICU includes a durable layout with even more resilient products and also various other enhancement functions offering much better resistance versus leak, while preserving the made life span span of the element.

“The latest FuelFlex ICU is a retrofit solution for customers that will increase both the reliability and environmental sustainability of their two-stroke engines. It also enables more flexible onboard maintenance of the unit, and the validation tests carried out have been very successful,” claims Jung Yong Park, Product Manager, 2-Stroke & & Specialized Services, Wärtsilä Marine.
