CURRENT TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT ON IHI-SULZER LARGE BORE DIESEL ENGINES

We have accumulated 10 years of experience in constructing 339 units of IHI-SULZER RD type diesel engines. On the basis of feed-back from operational results and data derived from a number of IHI-SULZER RD engines in service over long time periods, we have conducted continual research to improve, as far as possible, this engine's performance and reliability. We have recently succeeded in developing several technical improvements. This report gives an outline of four items which have been introduced into IHI-SULZER large bore diesel engine to lessen the need for overhaul and cut down maintenance costs. The items are as follows: 1. Development of new type piston crown. 2. Application of shell type crosshead bearing. 3. Improvement of engine performance in service by propeller-cutting. 4. Effect of fuel oil treatment.
