The challenge
Unfavourable engine conditions
Modern engines are often exposed to adverse operating conditions like:
- Prolonged part- or low-load operations
- Insufficient fuel quality & separation
- Long idling times
- Low air supply & high temperatures
The impact
What’s really at stake
If valves don’t rotate properly
- Build up of combustion residues on sealing surfaces
- Lower compression and thus reduced ignition pressure
- Incomplete combustion and thus higher exhaust temperature
- Uneven engine operation, reduced efficiency due to increased fuel consumption and higher emissions
- Worst case scenario: Valve damage causing damage to the turbocharger
- Financial impact rises: Operational restrictions, fines, higher OPEX
The change
From conventional to NIMONIC
Key benefits at a glance
Designed for robustness. Built for reliability.
Attractive pricing for a lower total life cycle cost (LCC) due to Minimizes unplanned downtime and crew effort
Significantly reduced seat wear which leads to lower risk of blow-by
Even under poor operating conditions it helps you achieve Time Between Overhaul (TBO)
Due to Roto-cap which prevents sticking and uneven seat wear
