5.1.1 Description
1. General:
The GE Jenbacher gas engine works on the 4-stroke principle and is a water-cooled 20 cylinder V-engine (70) with an exhaust gas turbocharger for pressure charging of the intake mixture.
2. Engine principle:
GE Jenbacher gas engines use the LEANOX method, which is a further development of the lean-mix engine principle. Here the engine is supplied with a mixture of gas and a surplus of air to minimise emissions already at the combustion stage in the engine.
3. Crankcase:
The crankcase is a special casting and features side crankcase covers that provide easy access during assembly/disassembly. The flywheel-sided gear train is sealed off by the gearbox, and the vibration damper-sided geartrain by the crankcase cover.
4. Oil pan:
The oil pan is made out of welded steel plate and closes off the bottom of the crankcase.
5. Cylinder liners:
The cylinder liners are wet and can be exchanged individually. They are spun cast and are inserted into the cylinder block from above. As they heat up they are free to expand downwards. The water room and the crankcase are separated by O-rings on the outside of the cylinder liners.

6. Cylinder heads:
The water-cooled cylinder heads which can be replaced separately are all equipped with an inlet and exhaust valve and with a spark plug. The intake and exhaust valves feature a valve rotation device (Rotocaps). The pressed valve seat rings can be renewed.

7. Crankshaft:
The drop-forged crankshaft runs on eleven bearings, is statically and dynamically balanced and has bolted-on counterweights. All bearing journals have been surface hardened and fine polished. One of the main bearings is designed as a guide bearing and takes the axial forces exerted by the crankshaft. The crankshaft main bearings are lubricated via oil ducts in the crankcase. A balanced flywheel with starter pinion is mounted on one end of the crankshaft, and at the other end a vibration damper is fitted. Connecting rod bearing Oil ducts Main bearing
Counterweight
8. Connecting rod:
The connecting rods are drop-forged and quenched and tempered. They are separated diagonally across the big-end and have serrated joins. The cross-section is designed as an I-profile to provide maximum stability of the connecting rods. The big-end bearing shells are replaceable plain bearings. The small end bushings are pressed in. The big-end bearings are lubricated via oil ducts in the crankshaft. The gudgeon pins are supplied with oil from the piston cooling nozzles.

9. Vibration damper:
A viscous damper is used to reduce rotational vibrations on the crankshaft. This viscous damper consists of a completely sealed housing into which a flywheel is mounted. The cavities between housing and flywheel are filled with silicone oil.

11. Pistons:
The light metal alloy pistons feature a cooling duct and are equipped with a wedge compression ring, a taper face compression ring and an oil-control ring with expander. Cooling oil is supplied via fixed spray nozzles mounted in the crankcase.
