1001 ENGINE HOUSING

The engine housing 1 is of grey cast iron. The transverse partitions carry the bearing saddles for the crankshaft and are drilled with passages OE supplying lubricating oil to the bearings. The housing is open at the bottom for fitting the crankshaft. The bearing caps are fixed to the engine housing with two vertical main bearing studs each. The crankshaft main bearing caps are marked together with the engine housing (please refer to M on illustration 1001-20). A force fit between engine housing and bearing cap is provided by two transverse tie rods 5 arranged horizontally. In this way the bottom, open part of the housing is given the necessary stiffening. The crankcase is accessible through fitting and inspection openings on both sides.

1008 OIL SUXP

(Please refer to Sheet 1008-20) The oil sump fastened to the underside of the engine casing collects the oil dripping down from the various pressure lubricated components of the engine. Sieves fitted in the oil outlets prevent the entry of solid particles into the main oil tank of the plant.

1201 CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING

The crankshaft main bearing is equipped with an Upper bearing shell6 and a lower bearing shell6a. The Upper and lower bearing shells are not identical and therefore not interchangeable. The upper bearing shells have several holes and a central groove through which the lubricating oil enters the bearing from the rear side. The lower bearing shells are completely even with the exception of a short oil inlet groove. The crankshaft main bearing studs are pre-tensioned hydraulically (please refer to the Maintenance Manual, sheet 1201). Transverse tie rods screwed into the crankshaft bearing cap from each side are equally tightened by hydraulic pretensioning. Damaged crankshaft journals cari be reground up to a limited undersize, for which bearing shells with a smaller bore are to be used (please refer to the Maintenance Manual sheet 1201).

1202 CRANKSHAFT THRUST BEARING

The crankshaft thrust bearing guides the crankshaft axially maintainingits designed position. The Upper and lower bearing shell of the thrust bearing are identical. The same bearing shells are ah.0 used as the Upper bearing shell for the crankpin bearing. The lubricating oil reaches the load bearing parts of the thrust bearing through bores in the crankshaft leading from the first crank. The thickness of the thrust ring halves determines the axial clearance of the crankshaft (please refer to the clearance table in the Maintenance Manual).
Undersize bearing shells

As it concerns the same shells as those in the crankpin bearing of the connecting rod, please observe the information given under group 3302 of the Maintenance Manual.
Oversize thrust ring halves

Should it become necessary to re-machine the shaft collars on the thrust bearing shaft, then the original axial clearance must be maintained by fitting thicker thrust ring halves (please refer to the corresponding table in group 1202 of the Maintenance Manual).

1601 VENTING OF THE CRANK CASE

(Please refer to sheet 1601-20) TO prevent the build-up of pressure in the crank case the engine casing has been equipped with a venting device. It permits the oil mist to escape from the crank case but prevents the entry of fresh air into it.

1603 COVERS AND THE SAFETY VALVES CRANKCASE TO

The safety (relief) valves or explosion flap valves are mounted to the covers 3 of the crankcase (see illustration 1603-20 Figs. Aand B). The number of covers with safety valves as well as their arrangement is determined by the requirements of the classification societies and may therefore not be altered. In case of a possible crankcase explosion the safety valve already opens at a differential pressure (interior/exterior) of 0.1 bar and allows the hot gases or flames to escape sideways. By the restoring force of the compression spring 9 the valve is immediately shut again by means of the spring carrier 8, thus shutting off the entry of fresh air into the crankcase and preventing further explosions. If a crankcase explosion has been observed the engine must be stopped immediately. Do not open any covers to the crankcase until the engine has cooled down and allow no one in the vicinity of the safety valves. Later the cause of the crankcase explosion has to be found. Depending on the engine equipment various makes of safety valve may be fitted on the engine. The caver 3 must always be fitted with both feet F at the bottom.
