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 />

Chemical and physical characterization of<br />

exhaust particulate matter from a marine<br />

medium speed diesel engine<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 />

Measurement System.<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 />
