Engine Designation

Engine Power StandardsEngine power ratings are based on operations at ISO 3046 power standards. The standard is identical to BS 5514, DIN 6271 and in general, SAE J 1349. Engine performance data has been adjusted to the standard reference condition.

Engine Power RatingsGen set engines have different power ratings depending on the type of service in which the engine will be employed. The aim being to limit the maximum power output in order to achieve the required service life of the engine. Ratings are based on ISO 8528.

Rating GuidelinesPrimePower: ratings corresponding to ISO Standard Power for continuous operation. This relates to the supplying of electrical power at variable load with 70% load factor for an unlimited number of hours as opposed to commercially purchased power. A 10% overload capability is available with this rating.

StandbyPower: ratings corresponding to ISO Fuel Stop Power. This relates to the supplying of standby electrical power at variable load in areas with well established electrical networks, in the event of normal utility power failure. No overload capability is available with this rating. The average power output during a 24h period shall not exceed 80%. Engine operation < 500hrs per year whereof continous operation < 300hrs.

Load acceptance characteristics

Load acceptancecharacteristics

Gen set engines must have asufficient capacity to be able torecover frequency after an abruptload application. The frequency dipresponse primarily depends on theturbine inertia of the turbochargerand on the fuel system. Theterminology used to define loadacceptance characteristics can beseen in the diagram.

Volvo Penta load acceptance datahas been collated using generatorsequipped with a relativelyunsophisticated automatic voltageregulator (AVR). With modern AVRtechnology such as that employed bythe Leroy Somer R 448 and StamfordMX 341, it is possible to improve loadacceptance by reducing voltage atlow frequencies.

Another method of improving loadacceptance is to use the GAC LoadAnticipation Module, LAM 100, whichsenses electrical load changes priorto engine speed changes.

Addition of equal sound

The effect of distance on sound

Decibel dBSound is the oscillation of air pressures transmitted at a speed of 340 meters per second. The number of oscillations per unit of time, deter- mines the frequency of the sound (Hz).

The human ear is capable of detecting sounds in a frequency range of 20–20,000 Hz and a range of pressure oscil-lations from 2x10-5 – 102 Pa. The lowest pressure is the auditory threshold, whilst the highest is known as the threshold of pain. By using logaritmic scales an easily manageable scale of unit values for sound pressure can be obtained. This unit is known as a decibel (dB).

dB(A) scaleSound measurements weighted to the hu-man ear are referred to as the “A” scale. Because it reflects the real impact on the human ear, the dB(A) scale is normally used to express measured sound.

Sound and distanceThe sound pressure will fall linearly with distance from a source provided it is in (free) field conditions which do not ac-count for surrounding machines, floors and walls. Doubling distance from source decreases sound 6 dB, halving distance from source increases sound by 6 dB.

Addition of sound levelsdB is logarithmic and can not be added like a proper unit.

Adding e.g. 74 dB and 80 dB will result in a total sound of 81 dB.

Adding e.g. 4x80 dB will result in a total sound of 86 dB.

NoiseNoise is defined as unwanted sound. Exposure to excessive noise can cause permanent hearing damage.

Sound

Sound measurementEngine sound levels are measured in a semi-anechoic chamber, i.e., a room with sound insulated walls and a hard, sound-reflecting floor. Sound levels are meas-ured in accordance with the ISO 3744-1981 international standard, using 10 microphones arranged in a hemispherical pattern at a radius of 3m. Exhaust, intake and cooling fan noise are not recorded.

The sound levels are measured in decibels -dB- through a frequency range of 31.5 to 16000 Hz. The sound levels are measured with an A-filter to simulate the response of the human ear - meas-ured as dB(A).

Two different readings are used to ex-press sound levels:Lw = sound power levelis independent of microphone positions and acoustic environment and used in all Volvo Penta sound level data.Lp = sound pressure levelvaries with microphone distance and acoustic environment.

To estimate Lp at 1 meter microphone distance from the engine outer surface with a known Lw:

Lp 1 m = Lw – 12 dB(A)

Lw is stated in each engine technical data section.

Noise emissionsNoise, another contributor to environmen-tal pollution, is receiving serious attention by Volvo Penta development engineers. Noise not only affects end user/driver comfort but also that of local communities and work environments. Already a number of design features have been incorpo-rated into the current engine range that specifically reduce engine noise.

Design Features for Reduced Noise:– Specially designed engine blocks– Advanced combustion processes– Gear driven coolant pumps to allow the optimization of a fixed fan speed– Selection of available visco fans– Laminated oil pan– Precision matched timing gears with sound insulated cover

The sound power level is measured with 10 microphones placed in a hemisphere

Lubricating oil

The base stock for lubricating oils ismineral or synthetic oil. Additives thengive the oil the necessarycharacteristics.

The main functions of the oil are to:— lubricate moving components in the

engine.— transport away heat away from

bearings, pistons and cylinder liners.— clean the lubrication system, pistons

and piston rings in the engine.

The performance of the lubricating oilhas a considerable influence on theservice life, fuel and oil consumptionof the engine. It is important to use thecorrect grade of oils to achieve lowestoperating cost.

Engine lubrication oil properties and recommendations:

Viscosity

The oil should be able to flow through the pump at low temperatures, andalso have good lubrication ability at high temperatures. A single-grade oilsuch as SAE40 is used in a hot or cold ambient temperature whereas amulti-grade oil such as SAE15W/40 can be used in both hot and coldambient temperatures. At very low ambient temperatures, a synthetic orsemi-synthetic oil such as SAE 5W/40 should be used.

Detergents and dispersants

Additives are used in the lubricating oil for cleaning the oil system, pistonsand piston rings from carbon and sludge deposits.

Sulphur in fuel

The Total Base Number (TBN) specifies the ability of the oil to neutraliseacid combustion residue, such as sulphuric acid from the sulphur contentof the fuel. In markets with high sulphur levels in fuel, it is important that theTBN number of the fuel is sufficient. If the sulphur content is 1%, the TBNnumber should exceed 15.

Oil recommendations

Engine oils are tested by standardised methods agreed by the motorindustry and oil companies. Lubricating oils are divided into quality gradesdetermined thorough testing in engines for piston cleanliness, cylinderbore polishing, piston ring wear, oil consumption, viscosity variations etc.

Oils which comply with the following classifications are recommended byVolvo Penta. Failure to follow the recommendations can cause shortenedengine life:

Oil drain interval

Oil drain intervals depends on the oil classification. Oil drain intervals mustnot exceed 12 months.VDS-2 600 h*VDS, ACEA E3 400 h*ACEA E1, E2, API CD, CF, CF-4, CG-4 200 h*

Diesel fuelDiesel fuel

Diesel fuel consists of about 87%carbon and 13% hydrogen. Dieselfuel performs two major functions inthe engine:— supplies the energy for the engine.— cools and lubricates the precision

parts of the fuel pump and injectors.

The properties of the fuel have animportant influence on engineperformance, exhaust emissions, fuelconsumption and engine life. Alwaysuse fuel of the correct grade forlowest environmental impact andlowest operating cost.

When the fuel is cooled, wax can crystallise out and make the fuel soviscous that it can not be pumped into the injection equipment. The “cloudpoint“ is the temperature when the wax crystals first occur, but the fuel isstill usable. At 3 to 8°C lower temperature, the fuel reaches its “pourpoint“, solidifies, and can not be pumped.

In order to make diesel fuel usable in cold ambient conditions, the oilcompanies mix it with paraffin (kerosene) etc. (this can have an adverseeffect on density and cetane rating, see below). It is important to select afuel with a margin to the pour point temperature at low ambienttemperatures.

Water in the fuel causes corrosion in the fuel system precisioncomponents. It is therefore important to drain water from the pre-filter andfuel tank regularly .

The sulphur in the fuel is converted to sulphuric acid which has a corrosiveeffect on the internal components of the engine, breaks the lubricating oildown and contributes to acidification in the environment. It also has anegative effect on the formation of particulates. The sulphur content shouldbe as low as possible.

Fuel density has effect on power output and fuel consumption. Lowtemperature winter grade fuels and environment classified fuels willtypically give 3-5% lower power and also higher fuel consumptioncompared with Volvo Penta reference fuel (0,84 kg/liter). Operating with ahigh density fuel (0,84 kg/liter) will result in higher engine power andincreased smoke level. Do not run the engine at higher power levels thanthe rated engine power.

The cetane number is a measure of the willingness of the fuel to ignite. Alow cetane number will result in long ignition delay, which will cause poorcold starting and warming up performance (white smoke), increasedexhaust emissions and higher engine noise. The cetane number should beat least 45, for low exhaust emissions it should be more than 52.

The viscosity is the ability of the fuel to flow. Too low viscosity means poorlubrication of the moving components of the injection system, too highviscosity can lead to abnormal pressures in the fuel system, causing cracksin injector nozzles and delivery lines. The viscosity should be 1,3-5,8 mm2/sec at 40°C

To obtain cost effective and environmental friendly operation, the fuelshould at least comply with one of the following market fuel standards:

Coolant

The main function of the coolant is to protect the engine and the components in the system from:

Corrosion damage•Cavitation damage on cylinder liners•Freezing•

At the same time the coolant should provide adequate heat transfer.Coolant should be used all year round even in warm areas.

The radiator ambient air capability is dependent on:

Coolant temperature shut down switch settingThe real coolant boiling point depends on the sytem pressure and the type of coolant used. In practice, the coolant temperature shut down switch normally limits the maximum permissible collant temperature.

Air on temperatureThe air on temperature (into radiator) de-pends on the ambient air temperature and any additional heat from engine, genera-tor, air blast oil cooler, etc.A gen set equipped with a pusher cooling fan will normally have an air on tempera-ture on 5 to 7 OC above the ambient air temperature.

AltitudeAltitude affects the boiling point of the coolant and cooling fan air flow. Radiators with a 70 kPa pressure cap setting have a good overheating margin up to 4000 m above sea level. Radiator ambient air capability is reduced by 2.5 OC per 500 m increase in elevation.

Exhaust gas emissions

The composition of exhaust gasesDuring the combustion process of a die-sel engine, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy at high tempera-tures and under very high pressure. For the most part, exhaust gases consist of the same elements found in air - nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water and oxygen. Only <0.1 % of these components can be defined as exhaust-gas emissions.

The effects of exhaust gases on helth and the environmentDiesel engines add to the pollution which has an adverse effect on health an the environment. The biggest environmental problem is acidification, which weakens plants, trees, etc.

Nitrous oxides are formed by a reaction between the N and O in the air at high temperatures. NOX is odorous and irritating.

Hydrocarbons are elements of unburned fuel which have formed as a result of a low combustions temperature and/or a poor fuel/air mixture. They give diesel exhaust its characteristic smell and some are toxic.

Carbon monoxide is formed at the intermediate combustion stage as a result of air deficiency, which results in incomplete oxidazation from CO and CO2. CO is hazardous.

Carbon dioxide is together with water vapur the main product resutling from combustion of diesel fuel. A greenhouse gas.

Particulate matter consists of a core of carbon (< 10 mm) and comes from the fuel and lubricating oil. This is primarily a result of poor fuel/air mixture. Poisonous hydrocarbons condense on the surface of the particles.

Sulphur dioxide is formed by a reaction between the sulphur in the fuel and the oxygen in the air. It is directly related to the amount of sulphur in the fuel and is subject to existing or proposed legislative control through limits of sulphur in fuel.

NOX

HC

CO

CO2

PM

SO2

— Acidification SO2 and NOX forms strong acids which affect the leaves of plants and attack their root system, reducting the plants capacity to ab-sorb water and minerals.

— Oxidants Oxidants such as ozone, O3, are formed as a result of the sensitive balance in the atmosphere being disrupted by too much HC and NOX. This affects the photosynthesis/respiration of trees, resticting their growth.

— Photochemical smog Photochemical smog is formed in highly populated urban areas when HC and NOX are exposed to sunlight. The smog contains a great deal of pollutants and obtains its brownish colour from NO2. Nitrous oxides and hydrocarbons in the smog affect the respiratory system.

— Particulate matter Particulate matters from combustion are hazardous to inhale and cause general dirtiness to surfaces.

— Greenhouse effect Today, the greenhouse effect represents one of the most widespread environmental threats of all. There is a connection between global warming and the increase in the carbon dioxide content of the atomosphere, contributed to by the combustion of all fossil fuels.

Exhaust gas emissions

Exhaust limits and implementation dates are set by national laws and regulations and are based on defined test procedures specifying e.g. test cycles, test equipment and test fuel. The emissions that are regu-lated are generally NOx (Nitrous Oxides), HC (Hydrocarbons), CO (Carbon monox-ide) and PM (Particulate matter). Smoke limits apply in some cases.

The regulations below are a selection of regulations that apply for industrial en-gines; it does not cover all regulations ap-plicable to industrial engines. Regulations affecting the end user and the equipment may also apply. This information is our understanding of the requirements and it shall not be relied on for compliance purposes.

USA and Canada, Mobile Non-Road Diesel EnginesMobile non-road engines in USA are reg-ulated both federally by U.S. EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) and in California by CARB (California Air Resources Board).

Typical non-road mobile machinery:– Construction equipment including air compressors– Mobile pump units– Forestry machinery– Agricultural vehicles– Materials handling equipment– Snow ploughs and air port support equipment– Mobile generating sets

Exhaust emission regulations for diesel powered non-road machinery has been in effect for USA since 1996 (Tier 1) both federally and in California. Lower limits (Tier 2) were introduced starting in 2002. The current emission limit is Tier 3 for engines 75-560 kW and Tier 2 for >560 kW and 37 – 75 kW (Tier 3 will be required from Jan 1 2008 for engines 37-75 kW).

California may have additional require-ments depending on application of the engine.

Canada has adopted the same exhaust emission limits for non-road mobile machinery as USA effective from Jan 1 2006.

Exhaust gas emissions

USA, Stationary Diesel EnginesDiesel engines in stationary applications is regulated federally by U.S. EPA from July 11 2005. From Jan 1 2007 diesel engines in stationary applications (< 2237kW and < 10 litres/cylinder) must comply with the emission limits for the Mobile non-road engines that are applicable for the engine size and power.

Stationary engines may also be regulated by individual states in addition to the federal regulation.

Europe, Non-Road Mobile MachineryThe emission limits were implemented for non-road applications with directive 97/68/EC NRMM (Non-Road Mobile Machinery), ef-fective October 1998 and valid for the same applications as in USA, except for agriculture tractors and constant speed engines. EU Stage 1 was enforced for diesel engines in the 130 – 560 kW range. EU Stage 2 has been in effect since Jan 1 2002 for the same engine range, and for engines in the 75 – 130 kW range it went into effect Jan 1 2003.

The NRMM directive was amended in 2004 (directive 2004/26/EC) adopting Stage 3A standards from Jan 1 2006 for engines 130-560kW and from Jan 1 2007 for engines 75-130 kW. Stage 3A will be required for engines 37-75 kW from Jan 1 2008.

Constant speed engines, in the power range 37-560 kW will be included in the directive 97/68/EC as amended by directive 2002/88/EC with effect from Jan 1 2007. Stage 2 limits apply for constant speed engines with Stage 3A scheduled for 2011.

Stationary engines are regulated nationally in EU, thus there is no directive setting emission standards for the EU area. TA-luft that applies in Germany is a well known regulation for stationary applications.

Japan, Non-Road enginesThe MoE (Ministry of Environment) regulates non-road equipment and have adopted emission limits similar to the EU and USA. The current limits in effect from Oct 1 2006 for engines 130-560kW are similar to the US EPA Tier 3 or the EU Stage 3A limits de-scribed above. Engines 75-130 kW follows one year after and 37-75 kW on Oct 1 2008.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT) have a designation system for construction equipment with limits similar to the MoE limits for non-road vehicles.

Korea, Non-Road enginesKorea has been regulating engines on non-road equipment since 2004 for applications such as excavators, bulldozers, loaders, cranes, graders, rollers, and forklift trucks. The current Step 2 emission limits are similar to the U.S. EPA Tier 2 limits described above. Step 2 has applied since 2005.

India, Generating Sets and Construction EquipmentEmission regulations for generating set engines apply in India as from 1 July 2003 for the engine range 50 – 260 kW, and from 1 July 2004 for engines in the power range 260 – 800 kW.

India also have an exhaust emission regulations applicable to construction equipment.

China, Non-Road enginesThe Chinese government is currently preparing an exhaust emission regulation that will apply for diesel powered non-road equip-ment. Stage 1 is likely to take effect in 2007 or 2008.

Torsional vibrationsTorsional vibrations occurs as a result of forces on the crankshaft caused by the piston and connecting rod during the power stroke. These forces tend to deflect the crankshaft and also tend to displace the shaft at an angle. The object of Torsional Vibration Calculations (TVC) is to locate the critical speed points and to ensure that these critical speeds are outside the operating range of the engine (within +10% to –5% of the constant speed). Disregarding the torsional compatibility of the engine and the equipment driven by the engine may fracture the crankshaft and flywheel bolts and may lead to over-heating of the vibration damper. Approved combinations with engines coupled to sin-gle bearing generators are listed on the following pages in this Sales Guide. If the required combination is not listed, please contact Volvo Penta. TVC data input:– Engine, output and speed– Designation of alternator incl. detailed drawings of rotating components such as shaft, armature, exciter, generator, cooling fan and coupling, including weight, inertia and location of the rotat- ing components.Expected delivery time approx. 2 weeks from complete order.

If two-bearing generators are specified, torsional vibration analyses are carried out by the manufacturer of coupling. Volvo Penta will supply engine input data on request.

Please see the Sales Support site at Volvo Penta Partner Network for more detailed information and analysis of alternators.

TA-Luft Exhaust EmissionRegulationIn the absence of a stationary poweremission regulation in Europe, theGerman power plant emissionstandard TA-Luft (TechnicheAnleitung zur reinhalt der Luft) is usedas a national regulation in Europe.Test procedures and conditions arenot clearly defined. Emissions aremeasured at steady state operation atmax. 5% exhaust oxygen (O2)content. This standard is applied inGermany, Austria, Luxemburg,Switzerland and the Netherlands andis gaining acceptance in otherEuropean countries.

Approved enginesVolvo Penta has measured Gen Setengine exhaust emissions incooperation with the German TüV, inaccordance with TA-Luft emissionstandards. All Volvo Penta TADengines and many of the TWDengines satisfy the TA-Luft regulationlimits, see also rating selection onpage 4 in this book.
