Many marine and stationary engines operate on fuels that contain corrosive elements, with the result that some highly loaded combustion chamber components must be replaced frequently. Märkisches Werk, GmbH (MWH) has pioneered the development of mineral-metal, multiphase coatings to protect valves and other highly loaded engine components against hot-gas corrosion. Mineral-metal, multiphase coatings are a unique and innovative approach to improving hot-gas corrosion resistance in a cost-effective manner. In general, these coatings combine the beneficial chemical and thermal attributes of ceramic coatings with the mechanical properties and substrate adhesion characteristics of a metal. Extensive laboratory and field trials have proven that MWH CrystalCoat protects heavy fuel oil (HFO) engine exhaust valves against hot-gas corrosion. It is projected that the newest coating formulation (CrystalCoat HT) will protect four-stroke HFO exhaust valves against hot-gas corrosion over their entire service life.

This paper reports on an experimental study of the autoignition behavior of several heavy fuel oils in a large constant-volume combustion chamber with single-shot injection. In the experiments the pressure and the temperature of the air in the combustion chamber before fuel injection varied between 30 and 70 bar and between 730 and 920 K. Illumination delay and pressure delay values have been correlated with these pressures and temperatures. It is shown that for all but one of the fuels examined, ignition delay ranking changes little with the choice of ignition delay definition, but more with the pressure and temperature conditions in the combustion chamber. The usefulness of the Calculated Carbon Aromaticity Index is discussed.

In this work the evaporation of the emulsified glycerol- heavy fuel oil (CG-HFO) droplets with different activator is modeled. The influence of activator gas bubbles volume developments on the evaporation of fuel droplets in the high temperature combustion chamber is studied. The crude glycerol as the secondary product of biodiesel production is used as the first component of the emulsion while the second component is heavy fuel oil. The crude glycerol contains methanol, aromatics, minerals, a little bit biodiesel and water. These materials were pressurized and injected in the chamber with three inputs: the first one is for the CG-HFO, the second one is for activator while the third one is for air for forming the emulsion and then passing to the combustion chamber. The applied pressure is determined according to contents which lead to flame stability of the primary formed emulation. A comparison of calculated results, basing on semi-empirical method, with experimental ones demonstrates the modeling acceptable accuracy.

The behavior of lagrangian spray models for the application in large two stroke marine engines is investigated. 3D-CFD simulations of a Spray Combustion Chamber (SCC) with a single hole (0.875 mm diameter) injector are presented and compared with experimental results. Shadow images of the spray under evaporating and non-evaporating conditions, with and without swirl flow and for different chamber pressures are available by means of which the simulation results are validated. A novel post processing methodology for 3D CFD spray simulations is introduced, which converts the numerical data into images which allows for a more rigorous quantitative comparison with the experimental data. Good agreement of the simulation results with the experiment is reported both in terms of spray penetration as well as concerning the evaporation of the fuel. Since the appropriate discretization of the large volumes typical of 2-stroke marine engines presents a substantial challenge, the influence of the grid resolution is investigated. In addition, the influence of fuel quality on the evolution of the spray morphology is assessed. For this purpose, simulations with heavy fuel oil (HFO) are compared with experiment.

Some industrial gas turbines are currently being fired directly using heavy fuel oil, which contains a small percentage of inorganic material that can lead to fouling and corrosion of turbine components. Deposits of heavy fuel oil ash were created in the Turbine Accelerated Deposition Facility (TADF) at Brigham Young University under gas turbine-related conditions. Ash was produced by burning heavy fuel oil in a downward-fired combustor and collecting the ash from the exhaust stream. The mass mean ash particle diameter from these tests was 33 microns. This ash was then introduced into the TADF and entrained in a hot gas flow that varied from 1088 to 1206°C. The gas and particle velocity was accelerated to over 200 m/s in these tests. This particle-laden hot gas stream then impinged on a nickel base superalloy metal coupon approximately 3 cm in diameter, and an ash deposit formed on the coupon. Sulfur dioxide was introduced to the system to achieve 1.1 mol% SO2 in the exhaust stream in order to simulate SO2 levels in turbines currently burning heavy fuel oil. The ash deposits were collected, and the capture efficiency, surface roughness, and deposit composition were measured. The deposits were then washed with deionized water, dried, and underwent the same analysis. It was found that, as the gas temperature increased, there was no effect on capture efficiency and the post-wash roughness of the samples decreased. Washing aided in the removal of sulfur, magnesium, potassium, and calcium.
