Wartsila 8L20 having Damage Crankshaft	Damage CR Pin of Wartsila 8L20 Engine

We have a team of trained technicians available 24/7 hrs.

Inspection of the crankshaft of Wartsila 8L20 and Observation

1. On Initial inspection of the crankshaft it was found that the crankpin number #05 was damaged.
2. On further investigation our technicians were surprised to note that the crankpin having standard diameter of 180 MM was already undersized by 2.00 MM and this job was done by a company based in Greece.
3. The excessive taper was observed on the crankpin and no radius fillet profile was made by the crankshaft repair company.
4. Due to the taper in the crankpin number #05 of the wartsila 8L20 crankshaft, the connecting rod was not moving freely and the bearing was developing line marks.
5. It was a challenging job for RA Power Solutions technicians to rectify the taper, which was developed due to application of wrong equipment and process by a company based in Greece.

• Hardness was checked as per the procedure and was observed between 260 and 320 on the HB scale.
• Scattered high hardness spots up to 498 HB were observed.
• During the MPI test of the crankpin, no crack was observed.

Action taken by RA Power Solutions technicians to successfully repair the crankshaft of Wartsila Engine 8L32

• The grinding of crankpin no. 06 was initially undertaken to the undersize of 0.5 mm.
• During the joint inspection, a localized damage area was still present on the crank pin diameter. In this situation, it was jointly decided by RA Power Solutions technicians and the chief engineer to undertake the grinding to the next step size of 1.0 mm.
• The grinding was done to 1.0 mm undersize, maintaining the ovality of 0.02 mm. The final dimensional report is pasted below:

• The radius fillet of both sides which was damaged was repaired successfully and polished.
• The complete repair of the Wartsila Engine 8L32 was successfully carried out during the sailing of the vessel from Khorfakkan Port Sharjah UAE to an Iran Port.
• Since a 1.0 mm undersize bearing was available on board the vessel. Our technicians assisted the ship staff in the assembly of the engine. The engine was commissioned in the presence of our technicians and performance was observed satisfactory.

RA Power Solutions two technicians boarded the vessel in a short time of 36 hrs as they have valid US VISA and Indian CDC. The crankshaft was inspected for all the major parameters like dimension, taper & ovality, hardness, cracks detection, deflection, and surface finish test, etc.

The damage to the Wartsila 12V32 crankshaft was so serious that one crankpin was undersized by 3.0 mm and the final size after grinding and polishing of the crankpin was maintained as 267.00 mm. The balance five crankpins were ground and undersized by 0.5 mm.

Crankshaft-the Engines’ Heart

As we know the crankshaft is the heart of the engine and is the most expensive part of any make & model of engine, it is of great importance that the end user treats the crankshaft with the greatest care and by undertaking periodic inspection. The continuous running of the crankshaft without checking the condition of the bearing and various other technical parameters can fail the crankshaft.

The Crankshaft of almost all engines and their respective models are repaired without removing them from the engine block. This facilitates a massive reduction in downtime for the ship owners coping with crankshaft failure and damaged journals.

The Crankshaft of Wartsila Engine 8L32 has been successfully repaired recently on board a vessel at Karwar Port Goa. The job of in-place machining of one number crankpin was a challenge as the vessel was to sail within 18 hours of boarding our technicians.

The details of the Wartsila 8L32 Engine crankshaft repaired by us is as follows

In this case, after examining the crankshaft and assessing the damage of the crankpin, the crankpin having a standard diameter of 310 mm was reduced to 308 mm. The radius fillet of the Wartsila crankshaft was also badly damaged due to the accident and was successfully repaired on board the vessel by our technicians.

The engine was commissioned in the presence of our technicians as the undersized bearing was available.
