Hi, I was for the first time on board as apprentice. I don´t have any others, sorry. This summer I will go to sea again on another vessel, with another Warstila engine so then I can shoot a video again. Thank you for your comment. Best regards, Jorg
The large green tubes between the injection pumps are for the pushrods which operate the valves; I'd imagine this is a reasonably old engine because it still has these pushrods in it; most prime movers nowadays have hydraulically operated valves which are operated under computer control without cams.
Has no carburetors- this is a diesel engine (duh). This thing was built like a huge ALCO locomotive engine, with separate pumps for each cylinder. The long rod moving rod is called the rack and levers on the rack control the fuel output of the pumps by moving toothed pilot rods in and out of them. The engine, being a modern one, is electronically governed, and so the rack is operated by a large stepper motor.
These engines are amazing. Biggest I have worked on are Mack diesel engines. I hear they have a sliding cam shaft with 2 sets of lobes, one for forward and one for reverse. So when you want to reverse you stop the engine slide the cam and it runs backwards.
I dont think people viewing this have any idea at how large this engine is, lets just say it takes climbing 3 flights of stairs to reach the valve covers.
I think Wartsila L 64 is the only 4 stk to be provided with 2 fuel injection plungers so 2 fuel cams! One plunger (shape) is FS/VE and and the other one is VS/FE...
i would love to be the gie who runns this thing,im addicted to oiling things you know,lol ,to me i can feel the damage being done the machine is inside of my mind i can see the parts and sence the vibrations in my mind ,thanks for the vid
I'm working for Wartsila at the moment (nothing with engines though) but I'm very interested in these kind of engines. Do you have more of these videos? :)

What an epic sound!, I love it!!!

Indicating low cooling water pressure. It takes about 1 min or so to build up, so this alarm on startup is normal :)
I love the sound of a big engine winding up like that!
Thats right, fuel and timing rack

Washington Estep diesels also had a switching cam to reverse them.

No, the engine running only CW.
I'll be an employee at Wärtsilä soon. I believe I can get it 😁😍

Warstilla's...you've got to love them...
I can well imagine!

8 years ago :D
any want ? have projects guide ?
i visited wärtsilä´s factory today at Vaasa, Finland ;);)
Why do the injection pumps have two racks?
yes its got a hundred torques- he might be talking about his microphone head curly perm!!
It's four-stroke, isn't it? And I'd imagine those injection pumps are over six feet tall.

Do you have more of these videos? :)
Now try to generate 12060 kW out of solar panels to power eletric motors.
also do you need to watch exaust gas tempriture/pressure so it dont melt or blow up or somthing?
Mooi filmpje, maar wat voor alarm hoor ik steeds?
Zijn dat soms brandstofpompen met begin en eindregeling?
thats the fuel rack
pictures of engines like this one being built can be found by google search of: Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C
1, 2, 3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,...
I love it.
what was that warning sound that kept coming on?
I'd guess around 100-150 rpm...
oh ok
ja idd, startluch ± 30 bar
oh cool sorta like a helicopter engine a bit :/
Work with these engines for many years... They are difficult to overhaul and very unreliable. Especially cylinder heads valve seat cooling
