MAN Diesel Engine 9L28-32

RA Power Solutions was approached by a company based in Dubai regarding a problem in crankshaft faced in MAN Diesel Generating set model no. 9L28/32.

The make, model of Engine, and crankshaft details are given below:

 S. NO Crankshaft Details  
1.Engine Make  MAN B&W
2.Engine Model 9L28/32
3.Crank pin Diameter Standard 230 mm
4.Crankpin Bearing Width 98 mm
5.Place of execution of crankshaft repair  Sailing from Port of Jebel Ali Dubai to JNPT port India(Mumbai)

Repair of MAN Engine Model no. 9L28/32 Diesel Generating set Crankshaft

RA Power Solutions deputed two technicians along with an onsite crankshaft grinding machine and technicians boarded the vessel at port of Jebel Ali Dubai. On conducting the inspection following are the main observations of the crankshaft of MAN Engine Model no. 9L28/32 diesel Generating sets.

  • It was observed that the crankpin no. 3 of the AE#02 was damaged. The Bearing material was embedded on the crank pin diameter. After removal of the white metal from the crankpin, the dimension inspection was done and the following was observed:
    • Minimum crankpin diameter observed:  229.44 mm
    • Maximum crankpin diameter observed:  229.83 mm
  • The above readings were observed against the standard diameter of 230.00 mm.
  • The radius fillet and lubricating oil hole profiles were found acceptable with no damage.
  • Deep Bearings line marks were observed on the remaining 8 numbers of crankpins. 
  • All the crankpins were subject to hardness test and crack check by MPI method and no abnormality was observed.
  • All other parameters were observed within limits.  

Successful Crankshaft Repair of MAN Engine Model no. 9L28/32

  • The grinding of crankpin no. 3 was initially undertaken to the undersize of 1.0 mm maintaining the crankpin diameter of 229.00 mm. Since the Bearing line marks were still visible it was decided to grind further. The final size maintained after grinding and polishing was 228.50 mm which is 1.5 mm undersize. 
  • Considering the rough surface finish and bearing line marks all the remaining crankpins were polished while using the state of art crankshaft grinding & polishing machine using the latest polishing media. 
  • The surface finish of less than 0.20 RA value was maintained. 
  • The ship had the 1.5 mm undersize bearing available which was assembled and the engine was put on load.

RA Power Solutions having more than 41 years of experience in extending crankshaft grinding, metal stitching, rebabbitting of bearing, and all the services related to engine repair. We undertake onsite grinding of crankshaft up to 700 mm diameter.

Repair of MAN B&W Model 5L 16-24 by Using Onsite Crankshaft Grinding Machine

MAN Engine Model no. 5L 16/24 is a very common installation on vessels and the engine is used as Generator. The Crank Pin diameter of MAN Engine Model no. 5L 16/24 is only 130mm and the bearing width is 56 mm. In other words, it is about 2 inches 

This makes the onsite crankshaft repair very difficult due to limited space in between the two webs. Most onsite crankshaft repair companies based in Europe don’t have the equipment and the technology to undertake grinding/ repair of crankpin of MAN Engine Model no 5L 16/24. The repair companies always suggest to remove it from the engine block and send it to workshop for crank pin grinding or reject the crankshaft.

We successfully executed the repair of the crankshaft of MAN Engine Model no. 5L 16/24. Details are as mentioned below:

S. NO Crankshaft Details

2Engine Model 5L 16/24
3Crank pin Diameter Standard 130 mm
4Crankpin Bearing Width 56 mm
5Place of execution of crankshaft repair Port of Castellon Spain

Details of Crankshaft repair job executed by RA Power Solutions technicians at a port of Castellon Spain.

  • The damaged crankpin was checked for taper & ovality and it was observed 0.49 mm.  
  • Deep bearing line marks were observed. 
  • All other parameters like hardness and crack detection by MPI were checked and no abnormality was found. 
  • The crankpin was ground to an undersize of 1.0mm.

Supply of Undersize Bearing for MAN Engine Model No. 5L 16/24
