General Description

The Sulzer RT-Flex engine is essentially a standard Sulzer RTA low-speed

two-stroke marine diesel engine except that, instead of the usual camshaft and
its gear drive, fuel injection pumps, exhaust valve actuator pumps, reversing
servomotors, and all their related mechanical control gear, the engine is
equipped with a common-rail system for fuel injection and exhaust valve
actuation, and full electronic (computer) control of engine functions. Two
control oil pumps are provided near the engine local control stand and one of
these must always be operational in order to ensure that the common rail fuel
and exhaust valve operation systems can function.

The engine is monitored and controlled by a WECS (Wartsila Engine Control

System) - 9520 unit. This is a modular electronic system with separate
microprocessor control units for each cylinder; overall control and supervision
is by means of separate, duplicated microprocessor control units. The cylinder HYUNDAI-SULZER
microprocessor control units are mounted on the front of the engine at the 11RT-flex96C-B
common rail which is located below the top engine platform.

The engine is a single acting, two-stroke, reversible, diesel engine of crosshead

design with exhaust gas turbocharging and uniflow scavenging. Tie rods bind
the bedplate, columns and cylinder jacket together. Crankcase and cylinder
jackets are separated from each other by a partition, which incorporates the
sealing gland (stuffing) boxes for the piston rods. The cylinders and cylinder
heads are fresh water cooled.
