PULSE CONVERTER FOR PIELSTICK ENGINES GIVES POWER INCREASE WITH ECONOMY

Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries (IHI) has developed an exhaust gas pulse converter for S.E.M.T. Pielstick engines which, it is claimed, enables enhanced performance to be obtained and which also simplifies the engine and reduces manufacturing costs. The converter consists of an ejector nozzle, mixing pipes, a diffuser and exhaust gas receiver and it is located between the exhaust gas manifold and the turbocharger. IHI claims that the pulse wave is converted to provide effective constant pressure eliminating, or at least limiting, gas pulse interference effects and thereby increasing turbocharger efficiency. Test results and planned installations in Fortune-class ships are described.
