Wartsila 46 starting

[CanadianTechHelps]

Run a straight pipe on it!

[Clydemontreal]

Sounds like a 251 ALCO.. lol

[hacker219105]

i have one like that in my backyard

[Saebler2010]

Oh yeah, this is Music, this is heavy metal.... :-)

[AtheistFinn]

What is that heavy metal music there? 0:45

[CRFbadass]

holy mac doodles

[darkland20]

can someone desribe starting procedure?

[CxC2007]

@darkland20 First, the engine rotates with 30kg compressed air, once the RPM are above certain number (250RPM) starts to inyect the fuel oil.

I assume this engines are pure Diesel, also this engines can be converted to Gas-Diesel, and run the engine qith natural gas.

[kenngeox]

is this an unmanned/unattended machinery space???

[fixitdude74]

sounds like a janome, lol

[Filmitis]

What's the capacity and power of this engine?

[CxC2007]

@Filmitis depends.. most common is 10MW

[lampost1]

That's one clean engine room! Could eat your dinner off it.

[C63AMGestate]

Imagine it with V-tec...

[zack95clark]

This aint got shit on my V-6 BY GOD!!!!

[zedextreme8177]

Anyone else started nodding there head to this? :D

[kctheblast12]

When did it actually kick over(switch to oil power)?? I heard these engines start with compressed air first....

[pcblah]

@kctheblast12 they do...

[MrJonagold]

@kctheblast12

in the vid, between 48 - 55 sec

[3Mudbone1]

@kctheblast12 The compressed air is solely to turn the engine over. It is not a fuel.

[johbar1985]

Sieht aus wie eine Großküche

[davidveeanco]

What is the vessel name?

[Roystrang86bb]

@DCTriv you have right I work with this types of engines...

[muziekfreak1980]

there is a bigger 95000hp brother of this one isnt? I think was the biggest piston engine ever produced. But hell i settle for this in my car too ahahah

[joffeloff]

@muziekfreak1980 Not really a 'brother' at all.. This is a regular four-stroke trunk engine. Basically an oversized version of the engine sat in your car. The large marine engines are Sulzer designs, brought over to Wärtsilä when they bought Sulzer. These Sulzers are two-stroke crosshead engines with ultra-long stroke, scavenge air inlet ports at the bottom and a hydraulically operated poppet exhaust valve in the head (with pneumatic 'springs' actually, F1 style!) Not related at all to this.

[twinspur]

compressed air to start these anyone?

[DCTriv]

@twinspur Don't know if that was meant to be a question, but if it was then yes, these are started through compressed air. The air is compressed, reaching high temperatures, then the diesel is added to the compressed air in the cylinder which causes the combustion process.

Hope that makes sense :D

[quedorf]

@twinspur Large marine engines use compressed air to start the engine turning over. When it reaches a set RPM in which it will run, the start air is shut off, and fuel is then injected into a charge of hot compressed air which then allows for the engine to run, as a typical diesel. The compressed air essentially operates as the starter does on a small combustion engine in a car.

[Gpoint177]

sounds good, i worked on new wartsila 2x 2400kw but there were a lot of problems for example too high combustion pressure, wrong fuel piping and other like....

[anarquia991000]

I am work in 18w38 18w46 this motor is beautiful

[sjem618]

This summer I have been on a ship with a Wartsila 9L46, but the automatical slow turning was much shorter. Is this longer biceaus of the dry docking period?

[Talybanu88]

This is MUSIC!!!

[Navigationbridge]

@Talybanu88 So nice to hear when the start air from the start compressors gets injected into the engine and it starts, the seconds after that you can actually hear the pistons moving around for a few seconds - that is true music.

[Talybanu88]

@Navigationbridge Quote...

[Navigationbridge]

@Talybanu88 Quote what??

[planb4eva94]

The wartsila-sulzer RTA96-C also has the biggest turbo fitted in the world, producing a whopping 480psi, the equivalent to 10,000 vacuum cleaners !!! it would suck any loose object within 20feet and mince it.................

[audimannen2]

Ok engines. But the Norwegian Rolls-Royce Bergen Engines are much better and alot more reliable. Thrust me!

[THOMASOAKMAN]

Imagine that having a rod knock. lol

[Funtazz]

This video shows two of the four main engines onboard the vessel Color Fantasy.

[mdupal]

I went on Color Fantasy several times! Great ship and great engine!

[MasterVela73]

Nice and clean

[julianmead]

ooooh, who mentioned the 'D' word..... awful Deutch shite...

[Longway2fall]

Is that compressed air used to get it up to starting speed?

[Teamspiritkampen]

Yes, starting air around 30 Bar.

[DFX2K9]

@Longway2fall yeah, can you imagine the size of the starter it would take to do that? most big engines do it that way (even radials.)

[Lex5576]

LOL. Puts my F-550 powerstroke to shame!

[dieselducy]

what kind of boat is this?

[kzbxvz]

Lovely sound when it started.

[Rogier21]

Lol it's a wärtsila... The main factory is now in Trieste, Italy. Because I live close to it.

[Korppi513]

These engines are made in Wärtsilä engine factory in Turku, Finland. Newer 46s than -04 are made in Trieste.

[zeroedodici]

@Korppi513 You wrong...the 46 was made in turku many yearsa ago....actually they build these engines to trieste....with the new one 46 F...

[Korppi513]

@zeroedodici I didn't understand how I was wrong. 46F is made to replace the old 46 model.

[lucifer073]

@Korppi513 made in italy lol

[consecutio]

nalpio the engine 46 of wartsila is a 4 stroke engine...

[nalpio]

I think that it's 2 stroke not 4

[james3765733]

this is 4 stroke common rail.... i was an enginner cadet for 4 months with the same engines on my ship sapphire princess.

[bugsier5]

best engine ever made is a deutz 428/572

[Wartsilapower]

You gotta be kiddin me? lol

[bugsier5]

nee hoor , dat is mijn ervaring! (LOL)

na 53 jaar loopt mijn Deutz Ma6r428 nog als een zonnetje!

[xenophobephoto]

Have the Chinese reverse engineered it yet and started to offer poorly made ripoff copies?

[Koseiko2008]

Isn't this actually form WÄRTSILÄ of either Norway or Sweden?

[fetufab]

wartsila are finnish mate

[BlakeMason2]

I think the big Wartsila marine diesels are now made in Korea.

[TheChiefEngineer]

@BlakeMason2 they are, under licence though.

[SteffanLlwyd]

Lovely Sulzer sound. Try out the vid. 'Class 24 Idling'. I think you'll like it!

[AECRoutemaster]

Fantastic sounds, thanks for sharing!

[bigblock912]

from 0:46 'till 0:53 it sounds like music :D

[thug0gr3]

amazing, from 46 it almost sounds like drum and bass :)) !!! awesome sound !

[ziggassedup]

it play a cool little tune (0:37)before she fires...lol.

[oyvror]

this is from color fantsy

[MeAndMira]

musikk

[bobinfiler]

Reference came from a Google search + Oil Tanker Engin, Got to see this World's Biggest Combustion Engine

[bobinfiler]

The 12 cylinder version weighs in at 2000 metric tons and delivers 90,000 Horse Power at 100 Revs per minute, with best fuel economy at 53,244 HP at 90 Rpm. When I mention economy, the 14 cylinder engine for example with a displacement of 25,480 Liters (1.56 million cubic inches ) burns up 1,660 gallons of crude ("bunker") oil every hour.

[pernorway]

Is it an American engine? A big block perhaps with a lot of American power.

[bobinfiler]

It's a 2 stroke no shit!

[Jkarkk]

It is made Finland.

[crocket1971]

Our made by DTS (Stork-Wartsila) The Netherlands!

[tompi88]

made by wärtsilä Finland in Vasa. Been to the factory.

[CommissarJuve]

Hi. You know wrong. In the past 46 was made in Turku (Finland) now in Trieste (Italy)

[petriL21]

bull shit wartsila is FINN DIESEL ENGINE YOU MORON

[Tamaslammer]

Is that a 4 stroke diesel?

[makecba]

So nice and powerful... it's overwhelming :O

[jactop285]

Too bad they still have the HT cooling water pipes on top of the cylinder head. When I've sailed with the 46, those pipes were leaking all the time...

[dxutube]

That's got a good rhythm going round the 50-sec mark :D

[25HNA6]

This engine has the advance electronics with the screen, right?

[25HNA6]

How old is this engine?

[25HNA6]

A common Rail injection system I believe?

[boris1401]

you idiot this is a ship's engine

[2007TypeR]

Rofl fucking American big block? ROFL. I don't believe the Americans know how to make a _REAL_ engine if they tried.

[51362879]

LOL! could be, but Hey! Did you hear the one about the guy that bought a new Land Rover and it didn't leak any oil so he kept taking it back and hounding the dealer until the mechanics got it right?

[yamahonkawazuki]

indeed the old jags broke more than some of the american stuff

[TechMaven]

Ain't this the pot calling the kettle black.

[voxhead123]

Is this engine a Chevy engine? I heard Chevrolet is making these now to keep the lazy union do-nothings employed. And as for your comment about Americans and their engines, you can go french kiss your european shit box of a car.

[bugsier5]

at least european cars ar disigned to last!

[Auggie56]

@bugsier5 Fiat ? Renault ? LoL

[rasmAn2]

@bugsier5

i have a 26 year old daihatsu 850 lf minibus that was designed for being cheap. it's has run it's clock twice (maybe 3), it's never even been cleaned and it runs as if it was new. japanese tech is indistructible.

jap bodywork of that age however is a whole other story

[mpwelk]

@2007TypeR CAT has facilities in 200 countries worldwide. They must be doing a pretty decent job.

[tinyadam1560]

@2007TypeR oh really smart guy, what about ( waukesha engine ) ?

[hatelibs1]

@2007TypeR try us krout

[shredderdredder]

@2007TypeR do you suck cock much? lmao

[bamsekukk]

Is it an American engine? A big block perhaps with a lot of American power.
