Diesel Engine Solutions
Increasing Marine
Engine Efficiency
Challenge
MAN Diesel & Turbo of
Copenhagen, Denmark,
needed high-performing
pumps for 2,300-ton
Intelligent Engines that
would propel oceangoing
vessels. By providing
continuously variable
fuel injection and valve
timing via the pumps, the
“camshaftless” engines
would offer unlimited
flexibility, enabling them to
reduce fuel consumption and
emissions. Therefore, the
pumps needed to provide
non-stop 30,000-hour
performance.
As shipbuilders build larger and larger container vessels that maximize cargo
transport during months at sea, they are demanding diesel engines with increased
efficiencies to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Marine engine OEMs rely
on Eaton for highly efficient, high-performing pumps and motors to keep their
engines humming 24/7. We offer the industry’s most complete range of highpressure inline pumps and motors and delivery time that’s hard to beat.
Solution
Eaton’s Hydrokraft piston
pumps with 500 ccm/
rev displacement and
350-bar (5,076-psi)
maximum operating
pressure met the service
life requirements, while
at 300-bar (4,351-psi)
continuous pressure for
most of the duration.
Eaton worked with the
University of Dresden to
design a custom valve
plate that enabled the
pumps to run clockwise
and counterclockwise
without risk of cavitation.
Results
The pumps operate in two
quadrants with increased
efficiency in an open
circuit. In the event that
the engine’s direction of
rotation and the controller
demand signal are not
synchronized, an additional
custom check-valve block
creates a shortcut between
the pump inlet and
outlet, helping to prevent
failure and damage to the
hydraulic system.

Filter System
Filtration System
Eaton’s REACTOGARD® V filter
system provides protection for
fixed-bed catalytic reactors.
Cleaning cycle times of less
than one minute ensure high
productivity is maintained.
The system’s efficient design
eliminates headers, dramatically
reducing installation costs and
maintenance requirements.
The ClearAmine™ sustainable
filtration system provides an
efficient method to remove
harmful solids from the amine
loop. Continuous amine filtration
is achieved with a slip stream
process or single unit system
that eliminates the need for bags
or cartridges used in disposable
media equipment. A multi-bank
configuration can also be used for
larger or more complex operations.
Stainless Steel Pressure
Filters
Fluid Analysis and
Maintenance
Eaton’s high-performance
stainless steel pressure filters
significantly improve hydraulic
system cleanliness and are easy
to operate and service. They
protect downstream components
from contamination beyond the
recommended cleanliness level.
Their stainless steel construction
withstands the corrosive effects of
saltwater.
Eaton offers measurement,
diagnostic, and analysis
technologies for monitoring and
controlling mobile and stationary
offline filtration units. These
technologies improve the
cleanliness and quality of operating
fluid, thereby preventing early wear
and tear of system components.

DC Control Contactors
ME DC Industrial contactors
are designed for heavy industry
service and are suitable for use
on moving machinery. These
contactors are for surface
mounting on steel panels with
front-of-panel wiring to control
starting, stopping, reversing, and
regulating functions of the DC
motor.
Uninterruptible Power
Systems
The increasing amount of
technology equipment for
onboard applications presents
challenges to the electrical
power supply of a vessel or
rig. Although sophisticated in
design, this equipment can be
damaged by power disturbances
or function improperly. Eaton
offers a complete portfolio of
uninterruptible power systems
(UPSs) and power quality solutions
that are essential for offshore
applications.
Medium-Voltage Circuit
Breakers
Eaton's VCP-T drawout and fixedtype medium-voltage circuit
breakers are spring actuated and
feature short circuit breaking
current ratings up to 25 kA and
continuous current ratings up to
2000A. Smaller and lighter than
comparable breakers and designed
for use where space is limited,
the VCP-T breaker family is small
without compromise.

including service entrances,
distribution switchboards,
panelboards, and point-of-use
applications.
Providing Power
Control and Protection
Power Control Contactors
The XT IEC Series includes
reversing and non-reversing
contactors and starters, as
well as overload relays and
accessories. Enclosed control
options include metallic and nonmetallic enclosures with circuit
breakers, and North American or
European fuses. The XT line of IEC
motor control is not the same as
traditional motor control designs.
XT was designed to be engineered
better.
