The back flushing is initiated either by time or differential

A) standard: Time controlled (after 1 hour)
B) or: if the differential pressure across the filter becomes too
high (0.35 bar)
Failure messages are generated if necessary (Overcurrent,
differential pressure high etc)
There are switches/buttons to switch from Operationto

Supply Unit Drive RT-flex50

hydraulic systems
The supply unit is direct driven by the crankshaft. The servo oil
pumps are driven by individual pinions, having a mechanical fuse
(reduced diameter in pinion), in order to protect the gear-drive in
case of a pump seizure.
RT-flex Operation

hydraulic systems
Since the supply unit, i.e. fuel pumps and servo oil pumps have no
timing, means they just supply fuel or oil, the camshaft does not
have to have a determined position compared to crankshaft.

WECS-9520
Engine control system WECS-9520:
WECS-9520 is neither an engine remote control system nor a
safety system.
The WECS-9520 is the core engine control, it processes all

actuation, regulation and control directly linked to the engine:
Common rail monitoring and pressure regulation
Injection and exhaust- and start valve control and monitoring
Engine performance tuning, IMO setting and monitoring
RT-flex Operation
WECS.
WECS-9520
WECS-9520 has no central computer but each cylinder has its
own FCM-20 module for the cylinder related- and common
functions.
These FCM-20 modules are mounted directly on the engine and

communicate via internal System CAN Bus. An operator access to
the WECS-9520 is integrated in the user interface for the
propulsion control system and flexView.
RT-flex Operation
WECS.
Remote Control System

The remote control is the operator interface to the engine.
Selectable
control panels deliver following
manoeuvring commands to the
WECS9520 via CANbus or
MODbus connection:
The remote control processes the

engine telegraph command with
internal
settings (scaling, load program etc.) to
a speed reference signal for the
governing system.

failures which do not cause any speed reduction
Cylinder failures any cylinder unit failures that cause a slowdown via AMS/SS

Crank Angle Detection

To synchronize the messages between FCM-20 modules and CA-sensors,
each SSI bus has its own clock bus
The two last FCM-20 are clock bus masters (e.g. #11 & #12 on a 12-cyl.
RTflex).
Signals from both CA sensors are processed and checked for errors within
each FCM-20.
Sensor angle values are compared with TDC pulse signals from a pick-up on
the flywheel.
The final master angle value is calculated from the measured angles and
used to determine crankangle, engine speed and direction of engine
rotation.

Fuel pressure control - Starting

With depressurized common
rail the lever output is 95-100%.
Engine firing starts as soon as a
minimum required fuel rail
pressure is reached.
Starting air is cut-off at a certain speed limit set in the RCS system.
RT-flex Operation
WECS.
Fuel pressure control - Running

2 transmitters supply the actual
value from the fuel rails.
FCM-20 #3 or FCM-20 #4
calculates the necessary rail
pressure and the output signal
to the actuators (4-20 mAmp).
The resulting pressure in the rail depends on the quantity of supplied

oil coming from the supply unit and the outgoing fuel to the injectors.

function CLU4 and CLU4-C
RT-flex Operation
LS CLU4.
CLU-4 Pulse Jet Lubrication description

During operation, oil flows from the daily service tank to the
lubricating oil filter and then to the dosage pump in the pulse
lubrication module. Each of the cylinders is equipped with one
pulse lubricating module and eight lubricators.
The position of the working piston is continuously monitored
by the crank angle sensor that is connected to the control
system. At defined positions of the working piston, the dosage
pump sends the oil to the lubricators where it is discharged.
The dosage pump in the pulse lubrication module is driven by
the servo oil line. This is a separate oil line that runs in a closed
circuit. The servo oil is taken from the servo oil common rail
through a pressure reducing valve.
RT-flex Operation
LS CLU4
CLU-4 Pulse Jet Lubrication description

The lubricators deliver the lubricating oil as jet pulse feed to the
cylinder wall. From there, the lubricating oil is distributed around
the circumference of the cylinder liner.
The vertical oil distribution is determined by the injection timing.
It is adjusted by means of the control system.
The feed rate is adjusted by skipping more or less un-lubricated
strokes.
The injection is initiated on up-strokes only.
RT-flex Operation
LS CLU4
Oil Distribution
The vertical distribution is governed by the injection timing as a function of

the crank angle.
The cylinder lubricating oil can be injected into the cylinder above, into or
below the piston.
The timing is weighted in order to optimise the distribution characteristics.
RT-flex Operation
LS CLU4
Oil Distribution
Example of application with spray nozzles
Benefit: enables additional application of oil
to the surface above the piston.
With the CLU 4 or CLU4-C cylinder lubrication
system you get a product that meets the
latest lube technology requirements in the large
diesel engine sec tor.
A maximum fire prevention results from its
double-walled piping, which at the same
time meets the maximum safety requirements.
The CLU 4 or CLU4-C system can be
expanded to handle any future development.
RT-flex Operation
LS CLU4
Arrangement
The retrofit pulse lubrication system
consists of thefollowing components:
Lubricating oil filter with measuring
system
Pulse lubricating module (dosage pump
with an electronically controlled timing
device)
Lubricators (up to eight lubricators in a

row)
Control system
Servo oil pressure reducing unit

Pumps

Basic pump CLU4
RT-flex Operation
LS CLU4.
Basic pump CLU4

The CLU4 pump is a hydraulic, positive
displacement device, with a number of
independent cylinder lubricating oil outlets
corresponding to the number of quills in the
cylinder liner. The pump piston is driven by servo
oil, which is pressurized to 50 bar, and when the
4/2 solenoid valve is activated, the pump piston
delivers a fixed, pre-defined amount of cylinder
lubricating oil to each quill in the cylinder liner.
When the 4/2 solenoid valve is de-activated, the
pump piston returns to its starting point, the
cylinder lubricating oil chambers are re-filled
from the gravity tank, and the pump is on standby for the next delivery stroke.

User card, Heavy Sea Mode

The heavy sea mode changes certain functions in the WECS-9520
to allow a safe and stable engine operation during extremely rough
weather and avoids possible failing of a cylinder unit, if a single
injector fails.
The common rail fuel pressure will be set to a fixed value of 700
bar
All injectors are used for fuel injection over the entire load range
The Low NOx Mode and VIT function are OFF

User card, Injection cut off

The injection on single cylinder
units can be cut off from these
fields
WECS-9520 automatically
triggers a slowdown to prevent
engine overload
The exhaust valve will remain in
operation while the injection is
cut off

User card, Injection venting

This function allows a venting of the
injector pipes and ICUs. It can be
selected to vent all or separate units.
After selection, the venting process
continues for 30 seconds, then the
fields automatically revert to OFF
condition, until selected again
Please note: Air spring pressure must be
applied, control (service) pump must be
running, fuel pressure has to be less
than 250 bar.

The Adjust page allows changing miscellaneous parameters like
artificially optimize injection timing for ICUs with disconnected FQ
sensors and it allows to modify the injection timing and the
exhaust valve closing within a certain range for balancing the
cylinder loads.
