Actuator for Exhaust Valve
The ELVA valve which drives the actuator
on the exhaust side has two positions,
open or closed.
Actuator
When it is opened by a binary signal from the
engine control system, the hydraulic oil is
forced in and pushes the pistons upwards, thus
opening the engines exhaust valve via the ELVA
hydraulic push rod.

The pressure is permanently maintained

until the ELVA valve is activated to block
the pressure when the required exhaust phase
is completed.

The exhaust valve is returned to its closed

position by the force from the air spring.

Advantages of ME Engines
Lower SFOC, SLOC and better performance
parameters at any load
Appropriate fuel injection pressure and rate shaping at
any load
Improved emission characteristics, with lower NOx and
no smoke
Easy change of operating mode
Simplicity of mechanical system

L/73960-3.4/0503 (3000/OG)
Advantages of ME Engines
Better engine balance with equalized thermal load in and
between cylinders
Monitoring and diagnostics of engine for longer time
between overhauls
Lower rpm possible for manoeuvring
Better acceleration, astern and crash stop performance
Integrated Alpha Cylinder Lubricators
Up-gradable to software development

L/73959-3.2/0503 (3000/OG)
Concluding
The ME engine is a major step into the future of
low speed diesel engines

MAN B&W Diesel will be there throughout the

lifetime of the ship

This is our commitment to our product and to our

costumers
