Designation decoded

5 steht für 5 Zylinder, S für Super-Long-Stroke, 50 für 500 mm Bohrung, ME-GI für Hochdruck-Gaseinspritzung (LNG), 10 für Mark 10.

Background

Die S50ME-GI10 ist die neueste Mark-10-Version des 50er ME-GI. Hochdruck-Gaseinspritzung bei 300 bar im Diesel-Zyklus. Für LNG-Carrier. Mark 10 als aktuellste Generation mit verbesserter Elektronik.

Inspector checklist

Laufzeug & Tribologie
  • Zylinderlaufbuchsen: S/B 4.0 — Seitenkräfte, LNG-Kaltverschleiß
  • Kolbenringe: Gas-Schmierungsbedingungen
  • Zylinderschmierung: BN25 im Gasbetrieb
Hochdruck-Gaseinspritz-System
  • Gas-Einspritzventile: 300 bar Dichtheit
  • HP-Kompressor: Zustand und Redundanz
  • Gas-Detektoren: Kalibrierung (Methan oben)
Elektronische Steuerung
  • ME-Steuerung: FIVA, HPS/HCU, EICU
  • Gas/Diesel-Umschaltung
  • Sicherheitslogik
Spülluft & Abgassystem
  • Spülluftkasten: Im LNG-Betrieb sauber
  • Turbolader: Weniger Fouling bei Gas
  • Abgastemperatur

Common Failure Modes

  • HP-Kompressor-Ausfall

    Symptoms: Druckabfall, Diesel-Fallback

    Causes: Verschleiß bei 300 bar, Dichtungs-Versagen

    Preventive: HP-Kompressor nach Vorgabe warten, Redundanz prüfen

  • Gas-Einspritzventil-Leckage

    Symptoms: Gas-Alarm

    Causes: Verschleiß bei 300 bar

    Preventive: Ventile bei Kolbenziehung inspizieren

  • Kaltverschleiß

    Symptoms: Erhöhte Wear-Rate

    Causes: Gas-Temperatur, BN

    Preventive: BN25, Kühlwasser >65 °C

Expert tips

  • Mark 10 ME-GI bietet verbesserte Elektronik gegenüber Mark 8.5 — Software-Updates von MAN prüfen und implementieren
  • 5 Zylinder bei S50: Torsionsschwingungen bei bestimmten Drehzahlen — Barred Speed Range beachten, besonders bei Gas/Diesel-Umschaltung
  • HP-Kompressor-Redundanz ist bei LNG-Carriern essentiell — Backup-Kompressor regelmäßig im Betrieb testen

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
