Highlights ► Fault in advanced injection timing increases the NOx emissions more than 7g/kWh. ► Fault in the nozzle increases the CO emissions in 1.65gCO/kg fuel at full loading. ► Emissions always depend on the state of engine maintenance.
Abstract This paper examines the role of marine engine maintenance in reducing pollution. It tests four marine diesel engines, one constructed prior to January 1, 2000 and three after 2000. This paper explains how the condition of an engine’s nozzles and faulty injection pressure significantly influence NOx and CO emissions and describes both bench and onboard ship tests, on engines fitted with new or worn nozzles at different injection pressures. The tests showed that, when the engine constructed prior to 2000 operates under normal in-service conditions, the emissions are within limits, but, with a small fault in injection timing, the NOx emissions exceed the limits. For the engines constructed after 2000, a fault in the maintenance of the nozzles increases the CO emissions to a high level.
