GUY Energy Solutions effective ME-GI (-Gas Injection) engine has actually established a brand-new commercial criterion for two-stroke propulsion engines aboard– to name a few– LNG providers, container vessels, cars and truck providers as well as mass providers. The ME-GI engine gives ship-owners as well as drivers with an unmatched service within eco-friendly as well as high-efficiency, two-stroke innovation, without the greenhouse exhausts such as methane slide that are particular of contending engines.
With the ME-GI engine, two-stroke growth has actually taken an action better by incorporating the special buildings of multi-fuel burning as well as the popular integrity of GUY Energy Solutions ME-engine. The Diesel concept not just gives the ME-GI engine with high functional security as well as performance, however likewise guarantees 100% secure as well as trusted procedure throughout lots modifications on gas with simply regular enhancements of pilot-oil quantities.
Furthermore, the ME-GI functional concepts includes a smooth change-over in between gas procedure as well as diesel procedure The ME-GI engine is one of the most eco-friendly, innovation offered within the two-stroke engine section.

GUY Energy Solutions has actually likewise created an ME-LGI (-Liquid Gas Injection) dual-fuel engine that increases the firm’s dual-fuel profile, making it possible for making use of even more lasting gas such as methanol as well as melted oil gas (LPG).
Successful gas-trials
GUY Energy Solutions has actually revealed that the initial ME-GI engine including its newly-developed Pump Vaporizer Unit (PVU) has actually efficiently finished LNG gas tests inKorea The engine is the initial in a collection of 6 neo-Panamax boxships– constructed by HSHI (Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries), as well as bought by Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS), the Singapore- based delivering firm– with each powered by private GUY B&W 11G90ME-GI primary engines. CMA CGM has actually currently hired the vessel, called ‘Tenere’, from EPS.
EPS Chief Executive Officer, Cyril Ducau, mentioned: “The successful gas and sea trials and the on-schedule delivery of CMA CGM Tenere make for an important MAN and EPS milestone. Three years ago, we committed to investing in alternative marine fuels, like LNG, to lead the industry towards decarbonisation and environmental preservation. This commitment included selecting MAN’s high-pressure ME-GI engines, which are highly efficient and, importantly, reduce methane slippage to negligible levels. These vessels will be IMO 2030 compliant years ahead of schedule and will be the cleanest vessels of their category on-the-water today. My sincerest thanks and congratulations to everyone involved in this exciting project.”

GUY Energy Solutions additional records that the engine is the biggest as well as most effective (MCR 68,640 kW) gas-engine it has actually created to day with solution experience from ME-GI drivers taping a gas-availability price of above 98%, testimony to its security as well as integrity. The brand-new engine likewise includes a boating of current, technological advancements, consisting of a PVU as well as Pilot Booster Injection Valve (PBIV), according to the firm’s technique to significantly provide more-complete propulsion options.
Bjarne Foldager– Senior Vice President as well as Head of Two-Stroke Business at GUY Energy Solutions– claimed: “I am delighted to receive the positive reports from these successful gas-trials where testing has proceeded smoothly according to the plan laid for the engine’s entry into service. I am also very encouraged by the reports of good cylinder conditions. The ME-GI engine is mature technology that has accumulated multiple references in multiple segments and is further improved by the introduction of the PVU, which ensures an optimal integration between the engine and supply system.”
HHI-EMD revealed the conclusion of the store examination for the initial of the 6 ME-GI engines at the end of January 2020. GUY Energy Solutions reported back then that the engine had actually efficiently performed at 100% lots in gas setting throughout screening, capably dealing with load-changes as well as keeping a remarkable cyndrical tube problem.
GUY Energy Solutions reported back then that the engine– with no requirement for added screening– had actually efficiently passed its FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) as well as done entirely according to assumptions, faultlessly dealing with load-changes as well as gas change-overs while keeping impressive cyndrical tube problems.
GUY Energy Solutions mentions that it has actually currently gone beyond 300 referrals for its dual-fuel profile of two-stroke engines– all operating on LNG or various other, tidy gas such as LPG as well as methanol– testimony to its management within this important market section. ME-GI operational-hours on LNG alone currently surpass the 1 million mark.
PVU
The effective EPS gas-trial marks the industrial launching of the PVU8000, the biggest PVU ever before created by GUY Energy Solutions as well as the biggest offered on the aquatic market. The device guarantees the trusted circulation of LNG with a small layout that– with private control of the cryogenic pumps (cold-ends)– gives the redundancy needed to make sure high integrity in all times.
Pilot Booster Injection Valve
The engine likewise includes GUY Energy Solutions’ brand-new Pilot Booster Injection Valve (PBIV), which utilizes smaller sized or bigger atomising openings– depending upon gas setting– to infuse gas right into engines. As such, in gas setting, making use of smaller sized openings substantially lowers pilot-oil intake to simply 1.5%, about fifty percent of what was formerly needed; diesel setting utilizes the larger-sized openings.
The PBIV shutoffs stand for GUY Energy Solutions’ most recent pilot-injection innovation, which provides for dual-fuel operating by optimizing SPOC (Specific Pilot Oil Consumption).
The Maritime Energy Transition
GUY Energy Solutions thinks that it is time wherefore it terms a ‘Maritime Energy Transition’ to discover tidy, decarbonised options for seaborne profession as well as transport. Essentially, it is the firm’s phone call to activity to decrease exhausts as well as develop gas as the gas of option in international delivery. It highly advertises an international ‘turn to gas’, driven by the IMO, as well as a typical method by the delivery market as well as national politics to buy framework growth as well as retrofits.
