MAN B&W Diesel A/S has issued a service letter regarding cooling water leakage in 26-70 MC/MC-C engines, recommending the use of U-type teflon sealing rings for better performance compared to Viton O-ring seals. Additionally, new O-ring seals with larger diameters are suggested for improved sealing in various cylinder unit areas. Spare parts for these new seals are available and can be fitted into existing grooves.

Service Letter SL01-393/OZS


September 2001

26-70 MC/MC-C Engines


Cooling Water Leakage
Action Code: WHEN CONVENIENT

Dear Sirs

We have recently experienced a few cases of leakage from the cooling water spaces
of the exhaust valve bottom piece, cylinder cover and cylinder liner.

For sealing the cooling water space of the exhaust valve bottom piece from the
combustion chamber, we have so far recommended the use of Viton O-ring seals.
However, long-term tests have proved that U-type teflon sealing rings, with a spring
back-up, provide an even better sealing performance in the service period between
exhaust valve overhauls.
In addition to the newly introduced U-type seal, we recommend the use of new O-ring
seals, with larger cross section diameters, for the remaining sealings in the cylinder
units, in order to increase the safety margin against cooling water leakages. This
applies to the uppermost sealing on the exhaust valve bottom piece as well as to the
cooling jacket sealings against the cylinder cover and the cylinder liner.

The new sealing rings can be supplied as spare parts, and can be fitted in the existing
grooves.
Questions or comments regarding this SL should be directed to our Dept. 2200.
Yours faithfully
MAN B&W Diesel A/S
