With its virtually pipeless, operatorfriendlydesign, <strong>the</strong> engine has started a newera in <strong>the</strong> development of medium-speedengines.Where power-to-weight and power-tospaceratios are concerned, for its givenspeed range, <strong>the</strong> engine is unmatched in itspower range. Operating reliably whilst burning<strong>the</strong> poorest quality heavy fuel, <strong>the</strong> Wärtsilä 20also offers ultimate performance using lightdiesel oils.Overhaul intervals up to 24,000 hours andmaintenance-friendly design are some of <strong>the</strong>main valuable features that have earned <strong>the</strong>Wärtsilä 20 an installed base of more than2000 engines since <strong>the</strong> launch in 1992.WÄRTSILÄ 26The Wärtsilä 26 represents <strong>the</strong> latest technicaladvances, combining fuel economy and lowemission rates with high fuel versatility.The Wärtsilä 26 (W26) family of mediumspeed engines is of modern concept anddesign and fully meets stringent Navalrequirements. It has been developed to meettoday’s and future requirements in respectof overall cost of ownership, emissions,shock and noise. Important features of <strong>the</strong>W26 engine are not only <strong>the</strong> high reliabilitybased on <strong>the</strong> low number of components,low through-life costs and compactness withhardly any pipes and all <strong>the</strong> pipe connections4Wärtsilä 26 enginebeing placed on one end of <strong>the</strong> engine, but alsoa high operational availability with MTBO of12,000 Hrs.WÄRTSILÄ 32The Wärtsilä 32 was developed in response to aneed in <strong>the</strong> market for a new engine in <strong>the</strong> 320mm cylinder bore class and since 1998 morethan 1200 of <strong>the</strong>se engines have been soldworldwide.Based on <strong>the</strong> latest achievements incombustion technology, it is designed forefficient and easy maintenance in combinationwith long maintenance-free operating periods.The engine is fully equipped with allessential ancillaries and a thoroughly plannedinterface to external systems.WÄRTSILÄ 38The Wärtsilä 38 is a technologically advancedengine – a product that sets standards.The intelligent design makes <strong>the</strong> Wärtsilä38 <strong>the</strong> lightest and most compact heavy dutyengine on <strong>the</strong> market.The high level of technology incorporated inthis engine, its design, and <strong>the</strong> power plant thatis built around it, are all focused on achieving<strong>the</strong> lowest possible kWh production cost.Generating set with low noise acoustic enclosureWÄRTSILÄ 46The Wärtsilä 46 is a medium-speed engine forwhich reliability and total economy have been<strong>the</strong> guiding principles.Extensive testing in our modern diesellaboratory backed up by several thousandrunning hours has made <strong>the</strong> Wärtsilä 46 areliable diesel engine.The extensive program reconfirmed <strong>the</strong>predicted calculations and simulations aswell as performance mapping of factorssuch as heat balance, fuel and lube oilconsumption, exhaust emission, noise andvibration level.GENERATING SETSWärtsilä provides generating sets completewith alternators mounted on a commonbed-frame which meet our customersrequirements for shock, noise and vibrationlevels. By utilising double mountingarrangements and acoustic enclosures, navalstandards can be met and exceeded.Wärtsilä generating sets are in operationwith many of <strong>the</strong> world <strong>navies</strong> providingelectric power for diesel-electric propulsionand onboard ship services.


THE LEADING SYSTEMINTEGRATORWärtsilä has set forward a new approachto <strong>the</strong> lifecycle of <strong>the</strong> vessel by gettinginvolved at all stages, from ship designto new buildings or repowering of <strong>the</strong>complete propulsion system and finally for<strong>the</strong> services of <strong>the</strong> ship.The global question behind <strong>the</strong> design ofa vessel is <strong>the</strong> efficiency of <strong>the</strong> propulsionsystem.According to Wärtsilä, everything startsfrom <strong>the</strong> interaction between <strong>the</strong> hull and<strong>the</strong> propulsors.Then significant total savings can befound by optimizing <strong>the</strong> propeller designand matching it with <strong>the</strong> prime movers.Engine selection is ano<strong>the</strong>r key elementto improve <strong>the</strong> overall efficiency. Wärtsiläoffers <strong>the</strong> configuration which provides <strong>the</strong>ability to match and run <strong>the</strong> engines closeto optimum efficiency.The propulsion packages are developedaccording to <strong>the</strong> mission profile of <strong>the</strong>vessel as defined by <strong>the</strong> end-user.8ONE SUPPLIER: WÄRTSILÄThe benefits of having a single supplierthroughout <strong>the</strong> entire life cycle of <strong>the</strong> vessel,from conceptual design to construction andoperation provide value:••Opportunity for shipyards to focus on <strong>the</strong>ircore competence (e.g. project management,hull production)••One supplier – One responsibility – Onesingle point of contact = Wärtsilä••Reduced risk from unforeseenincompatibilities••Less co-ordination work between parties,one interface••Classification for complete systems••Time-savings in design and engineering••Time-savings in purchasing process••Integrated system documentation••Production schedule discipline••Improved environment and work safety••Outfitting work from ship to shops••Warranty handlingWärtsilä aims to deliver <strong>the</strong> optimum totalsolution and performance tailored to <strong>the</strong>specific operating profile of <strong>the</strong> vessel.From conceptual ship design to operating equipmentand control technology for <strong>the</strong> entire ship, from <strong>the</strong>bridge to <strong>the</strong> engine room to <strong>the</strong> propulsors.GEARBOXESWärtsilä gearbox design and productionfacility is based upon proven technology andexperience.Our gears covers a power range of 1 to25 MW for single input gearboxes with verticalor horizontal offset (with more than 350 gearconfigurations available), and 2 to 35 MW fortwin input-single output type of gearboxes (withmore than 100 gear configurations available).MAIN CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES••Modular and flexible design••Compact and reliable••Plain bearings••Rigid housing structure:Small deformationLow stress levelsCast iron or weldedLow noise and vibrating levels••Precision ground gearwheels with profilecorrection:Good load distribution over <strong>the</strong> gear toothLow noise


• Optional PTO/PTI solutions• Optional built-in multiple plate type ofclutch• Combined oil system for gear andpropeller (for sizes 50 to 95)NAVY APPLICATIONSWärtsilä offers custom designs developedfrom previously tested modules. We canmeet specifi c requirements including shockresistance, low noise and vibration levels, andsurvivability in a fl ooded compartment.We use 3D CAD with integratedFEM design to study and develop <strong>the</strong>housings (cast or welded, according to <strong>the</strong>confi guration and level of specifi cation)to achieve <strong>the</strong> necessary enhancedcharacteristics. The gearbox range isdesigned and developed with packagesolutions in mind and optimized forinstallation with Wärtsilä engines andpropulsion equipment.PROPULSION CONTROLSYSTEMSWhichever Wärtsilä power and propulsionsystems you choose, we provide a singlecontrol system.The new generation of Lipstronic 7000provides more effective load control andsecures optimal performance of <strong>the</strong> engineand propulsor.It is a unique combination of knowhowand experience from a supplier of propulsionsystems, engines and control systems.With its fully adjustable and easy-to-useset of parameters, Lipstronic 7000 is a singlesolution for all propulsion systems:• Controllable pitch propellers• Waterjets• Steerable thrusters• Transverse thrusters• Engine safety system• Rudder control system• Joystick systemSTEERABLE THRUSTERSWärtsilä steerable thrusters are delivered inmodular, retractable, underwater mountableand containerized designs in fi xed pitch andcontrollable pitch executions.They are designed, manufactured anddelivered in close cooperation with <strong>the</strong>customer.Wärtsilä steerable thrusters generateconsiderable savings in cost due to <strong>the</strong>irreliable and durable components, effi cientpropeller and maintenance-friendly design.TRANSVERSETHRUSTERSWärtsilä transverse thrusters can be equippedwith fi xed pitch or controllable pitch propellers.Their design and layout have been directedtowards easy inspection and maintenance,which in turn leads to minimum maintenancecosts.9


Photo in public domainFIXED PITCH PROPELLERSWärtsilä produces high quality Fixed PitchPropellers (FPP) and Built-Up Propellers (BUP)for a wide range of naval applications.These propellers are manufactured,controlled and tested in Wärtsilä factories inThe Ne<strong>the</strong>rlands, in Norway or in Spain, whereskilled and trained grinders can achieve <strong>the</strong>highest manufacturing and fi nishing tolerancesnecessary for such high effi ciency propellers.SILENT PROPELLERSUntil now, <strong>the</strong> radiated noise of a propellercannot be predicted with suffi cient accuracyin order to directly select <strong>the</strong> geometricalcharacteristics which will control and reducethis radiated noise. As <strong>the</strong> cavitation is animportant source of noise, <strong>the</strong> wet parts of <strong>the</strong>ship, especially <strong>the</strong> propeller, should be freeof any type of cavitation at <strong>the</strong> sailing speedof 11 knots, which means that <strong>the</strong> CavitationInception Speed (CIS) should be higher than11 knots to ensure radiated noise levels aslow as possible. An indirect strategy for noisereduction has been developed to delay <strong>the</strong>inception of cavitation.Wärtsilä has developed its expertise forFPP and BUP designs with <strong>the</strong> cooperationof <strong>the</strong> major institutions and model basinsin this fi eld of research. Some of <strong>the</strong> mostwell-known research vessels are equippedwith Wärtsilä propellers including CEFASEndeavour, IFREMER Pourquoi Pas, IMR G.O.SARS., MARINE INSTITUTE Celtic Explorer,NERC James Cook or SKIPSTEPNISK Cabo deHornos.These vessels have reached silent operationlevels never achieved before, signifi cantlybelow <strong>the</strong> ICES 209 curve, by avoiding<strong>the</strong> noise normally created by cavitationor pressure pulses. These operationalachievements offer huge benefi ts to ourcustomers in trying to achieve <strong>the</strong> even moreaccurate measurements demanded by <strong>the</strong>scientifi c community.This expertise is also applicable to navalapplications. Navies have an increasing need fordiscrete vessels radiating as little underwaternoise as possible. Our experience ensures <strong>the</strong>stealth capability of strategic vessels.MARINE SEALSWärtsilä is <strong>the</strong> world’s leading supplier ofmarine engineering sealing systems.Moreover, we are <strong>the</strong> only supplier in <strong>the</strong> worldto offer a full range of both radial and axial sealtypes for any naval vessel type or size.KEY POINTS• Since 1971 we have specialized in supplyingnaval sealing solutions and to date havesupplied to more than 75 of <strong>the</strong> world’s <strong>navies</strong>.• Extensive shock qualifi cation throughout <strong>the</strong>range• Widest range of seal sizes and applications• Patented technologies and design philosophiesfor superior naval sealing solutions.The main propulsion sealing system is ManeSeal,an innovative concept with wrapped bellows anda split design.10

WATERJETSWärtsilä is <strong>the</strong> leading supplier of AXIALfl ow stainless steel waterjets for highendapplications: design and engineeringof <strong>the</strong>se waterjets combine advancedtechnology, reliability and ease ofmaintenance. Wärtsilä proposes alsonon-axial waterjets, successfully deliveredworldwide since <strong>the</strong> 1970s.WÄRTSILÄ AXIAL WATERJETSWärtsilä axial fl ow waterjets are a line ofsingle stage compact high performancewaterjets combining mixed fl ow propertieswith an axial build. The result is reducedtransom occupation with highly increasedcavitation margins.AVERAGE 25% REDUCED TRANSOMOCCUPATION Jet sizes are indicated by<strong>the</strong> front side diameter of <strong>the</strong> impellerseat ring. Non-axial designs expand in aradial direction downstream directing <strong>the</strong>fl ow through <strong>the</strong> jet over an less effi cientpath. This results in a large transom fl angediameter and often diffi culties with fi tting<strong>the</strong> jet in <strong>the</strong> available space ei<strong>the</strong>r in widthor height. The Wärtsilä axial waterjet seriestakes away all disadvantages by minimizingtransom occupation and by offering anaverage 25% smaller diameter of <strong>the</strong>transom mounting fl ange.UP TO 10% LOWER WEIGHT The reducedtransom size not only results in reduceddimensions, but also gives a substantiallower weight of <strong>the</strong> installation. If this iscombined with our welded jet constructionallowing fur<strong>the</strong>r weight optimizations,savings can be as high as 15% comparedto non-axial build jet designs.AVERAGE 10% HIGHER ROTATIONALSPEED = 10% LESS TORQUE Comparedwith non-axial design <strong>the</strong> rotational speedof <strong>the</strong> impeller is on average 10% higherwhile <strong>the</strong> impeller tip speed is still lower.The lower torque can give both weightand cost savings for couplings, shafts andgearboxes.LARGER MARGINS FOR OPERATINGFLEXIBILITY AND MANOEUVRING Thecavitation margins of <strong>the</strong> pump are shiftedbackwards with at least 35%. Due to thisincrease in cavitation margin and <strong>the</strong> lowerimpeller tip speed, more power can be12SOUTH AFRICAN NAVY, VALOUR CLASS,MEKO A-200 CORVETTES, SAS AMATOLAHybrid propulsion solution• 2 x 5C09N controllable pitch propellers• 1 x LJ210E waterjetallowed during manoeuvring resulting in a 15%higher manoeuvring thrust. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore with<strong>the</strong> additional cavitation margin, operation witha reduced number of shaft lines is possibleat a higher load of <strong>the</strong> remaining enginesresulting in better operating fl exibility.INCREASE IN POWER ABSORPTION ATMANOEUVRING During manoeuvring enginesoperate in a critical zone and waterjets tend toabsorb increased power at a lower rotationalspeed of <strong>the</strong> impeller. The result is a highload for <strong>the</strong> engine resulting in smoke and anincreased <strong>the</strong>rmal load. The increase in powerabsorption of <strong>the</strong> Wärtsilä axial jet series is upto 70% lower than of competing designs.TKMS, Blohm + Voss GmbH ©Wärtsilä waterjet LJ210E, reverse bucketDESIGN LAYOUTS All jet designs are availablein a steering/reversing (SR), reversing only (R)and booster execution (B). On request, Wärtsiläcan supply designs for special applicationsfor instance giving thrust in all directions360 degree or offering shock compliantinstallations. The key benefi ts of <strong>the</strong> axialtechnology are valid for all executions.WÄRTSILÄ NON-AXIAL WATERJETSThe non-axial E-type waterjet is still availablein <strong>the</strong> Wärtsilä product portfolio for thoseapplications requiring extreme speeds.Four large steering and reversing Wärtsilä2 X LJ160E and 2 X LJ150E waterjets are


used in <strong>the</strong> propulsion system of <strong>the</strong> USSIndependence (LCS-2). The ship, withan overall length of 127 m and full loaddisplacement of 2,637 tons, is an innovativecombatant designed to operate in shallowwater environments to counter challengingthreats in coastal regions, specifi cally mines,submarines and fast surface craft. LCS-2 iscapable of speeds in excess of 40 knots andcan operate in water less than 20 feet deep.US NAVY, LITTORAL COMBAT SHIPLCS-2 USS INDEPENDENCE• 2 x LJ150E waterjets for <strong>the</strong> wing propulsion lines• 2 x LJ160E waterjets for <strong>the</strong> centre propulsion linesThrust reversing cylinderSteering cylindersSteering arc(60° lock to lock)ThrustShip transomAxial-flow impellerDrive shaftAustal Australia 2009 ©Thrust bearingDrive inputIntakeHYBRID OR WARP SYSTEMSUnique to Wärtsilä is <strong>the</strong> delivery of varioushybrid or Waterjet And Refi ned Propeller(WARP) systems. These systems combinecontrollable pitch propellers with a waterjet.The benefi t is that <strong>the</strong> largest parts of <strong>the</strong>total installed vessel power can be absorbedby <strong>the</strong> waterjet. Despite <strong>the</strong> high amountof power <strong>the</strong> dimensions of <strong>the</strong> jet remainrelatively small due to <strong>the</strong> high allowedpower density compared to a propeller. With<strong>the</strong> jet taking most of <strong>the</strong> total vessel power,<strong>the</strong> propellers can remain small in diameteras well limiting <strong>the</strong> draft of <strong>the</strong> vessel.The result is a very attractive operationalprofi le. The propellers are fully optimized forlower cruising speeds delivering optimumeffi ciency with low noise and vibrations.At <strong>the</strong> same time <strong>the</strong> combination of <strong>the</strong>waterjet and <strong>the</strong> propellers still gives accessto higher speeds when required. Hybridsystems were delivered for various yachtswith total vessel power up to 32 MW and forNavy vessels up to 28 MW.Steering & reversing nozzleStator bladesINCREASED CAVITATION MARGIN AT LOW SPEEDWaterjet thrust and vessel resistance [relative, dimensionless]10090WLD - AXIAL FLOWCONTINUOUS CAVITATION LIMITFull throttle =100% MCR8095% MCR90% MCR85% MCR7080% MCRLJ - MIXED FLOW75% MCRCONTINUOUS CAVITATION LIMIT6070% MCRVESSEL RESISTANCE65% MCR60% MCR5055% MCR50% MCR4045% MCR40% MCR3035% MCR30% MCR2025% MCR20% MCR1010 15 20 25 30 35 40 45Speed [knots]“Increased cavitation margin at low speed” shows <strong>the</strong> cavitation limit line for <strong>the</strong> WLD axial flow design(orange) and <strong>the</strong> LJ mixed flow design (blue).

The Wärtsilä WLD rangeof waterjets permits prolonged continuousoperation at low speeds without restriction.13


R&D, NEWTECHNOLOGIESConsiderable research and developmentinvestments have placed Wärtsilä as amarket leader capable of offering innovativetechnologies to boost energy efficiency andenvironmentally sound operation at sea.Even though <strong>the</strong>se measures may make asignificant difference, now or sometime in<strong>the</strong> future, <strong>the</strong>y are just <strong>the</strong> beginning.In addition to engine tuning by usinga combination of superior propulsionsolutions along with first class products andinventions, Wärtsilä can offer more than 30different ways of making your vessel operatemore efficiently.14ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCEMEDIUM-SPEED ENGINESWärtsilä’s medium-speed engines arealready emission compliant with IMO Tier IIrequirements. The Wärtsilä engines offer highefficiency, low exhaust gas emissions and safeoperation.SO X EMISSIONSSince 2005 Wärtsilä offers guidelines for lowsulphur fuel oil operation. The purpose of thisdocument is to provide advice for design,modification and operation of new buildingsand existing ships to comply with futurelegislation related to low sulphur content in <strong>the</strong>fuel.NO X EMISSIONSThe annex VI of <strong>the</strong> MARPOL 73/78 conventionentered into force on 19 May 2005, <strong>the</strong>exhaust emissions regulations are now referredto as IMO Tier I.In October 2008, <strong>the</strong> Marine EnvironmentProtection Committee (MEPC) of IMOadopted amendments to <strong>the</strong> MARPOL AnnexVI regulations. These specify fur<strong>the</strong>r NO Xemission limits known as IMO Tier II and Tier III.Under IMO Tier II, <strong>the</strong> NO X emission limitsfor engines installed in ships constructedon or after 1 January 2011 will be reduced,according to a speed-dependent function,about 20% from <strong>the</strong> presently valid IMO Tier Ilevels.
