systems. Sulfate in the PM is directly related to the sulfur content of<br />
the fuel and could be reduced by applying low sulfur fuels.<br />

During the last decades, the increased awareness of adverse health<br />
effects of polluted environment has resulted in a number of legislative<br />
measures to decrease the pollution levels from different emission<br />
sources. As airborne pollution is not limited by national borderlines,<br />
international co-operation is required. Example of one such<br />
international cooperation is the forthcoming<br />
IMO regulations that will limit the fuel<br />
sulphur content at sea. The decrease in fuel<br />
sulphur content will have an effect on<br />
especially SOx and particle emissions. The<br />
decrease in the fuel sulphur content will<br />
evidently decrease the ISO8178 defined<br />
particulate mass emitted by shipping as large<br />
fraction of the particulate matter emission,<br />
during residual fuel operation, is sulphate<br />
and associated water – which are directly<br />
derived from the fuel sulphur. However,<br />
particulate emission consists of many<br />
different constituents and the composition<br />
of particulate matter is significantly changed<br />
when switching to low sulphur distillate<br />
fuel. In this paper, the chemical composition<br />
and physical properties of particulate matter<br />
is studied as a function of fuel quality (one<br />
distillate and two residual fuels) and engine<br />
loads (high, medium, low loads). Particulate<br />
emission was fractioned to elemental and<br />
organic carbon, sulphates and associated<br />
water and ash. Chemical fractioning revealed<br />
that the emission of all components did not<br />
decrease when switching from heavy to<br />
distillate fuel. One such component was<br />
elemental carbon. Taking into account the<br />
recent scientific studies [1] suggesting that<br />
the decrease in sulphate concentration of<br />
particulate emissions may actually increase<br />
the lifetime of particulates in the atmosphere<br />
and contribution of elemental carbon to<br />
global warming [2], the net benefit from a<br />
fuel sulphur restriction, in terms of improved<br />
air quality and global warming, may be<br />
different as previously anticipated. When<br />
operating on typical marine fuels the<br />
particulate measurement result of ISO8178<br />
is dramatically affected by the dilution factor.<br />
Results showing this influence will be<br />
presented, concluding that ISO8178<br />
particulate measurement method seems to<br />
have significant drawbacks for regulative<br />
purposes as the measured particulate result<br />
will vary a lot with the dilution ratio chosen.<br />
The investigation was performed by Wärtsilä<br />
in cooperation with VTT Technical Research<br />
Centre of Finland and was partly financed by<br />
Tekes – the Finnish Funding Agency for<br />
Technology and Innovation.<br />

For the sustainable development with the human activity, more and<br />
more stringent emission regulations are mandated not only to the<br />
automotive engines but also to the marine and industrial engines<br />
which are so-called off-road engines. Engines themselves are making<br />
innovative progress with the clean combustion techniques, such as<br />
homogeneous charge combustion (HCCI), low temperature<br />
combustion and so on. As for the NOx emission, IMO MARPOL<br />
There are Many Ideas to Save Fuel.<br />
KRAL Volumeter ® - Fuel Consumption<br />

Heavy fuel oil capable fuel<br />
consumption measurement.<br />
Fuel oil prices continue to rise<br />
more then ever. Creative engineers<br />
endlessly develop methods<br />
to save fuel, no matter if the<br />
ideas are new or a known process<br />
which can be optimized.<br />
The KRAL fuel consumption<br />
measurement is capable of<br />
measuring heavy fuel oil with<br />
such accuracy, that the result<br />
can be verified right away.<br />
Experience with heavy fuel oil.<br />
The idea that precise meters<br />
are incompatible with high<br />
temperatures and abrasive<br />
heavy fuel oil components is<br />
still widely held. KRAL has<br />
many years of experience with<br />
heavy fuel oil pumps and flowmeters.<br />
The technologies are<br />
long established and tested.<br />
Precise KRAL Volumeter ® .<br />
KRAL Volumeter is accurate to<br />
± 0,1% over a wide flow rate<br />
range to 100:1. That makes them<br />
the most precise positive displacement<br />
meters for marine<br />
applications such as oceangoing<br />
shipping, barges, fishing vessels,<br />
yachts, oil drilling platforms,<br />
tug boats and supply vessels.<br />
