1.2 Safety instructions for handling preservatives


Preservatives for drive systems can be inherently dangerous. Certain regulations must be obeyed when handling, storing and disposing of these substances.

These regulations are contained in the manufacturers' instructions, legal requirements and technical guidelines valid in the individual countries. Great differences can apply from country to country and a generally valid guide to applicable regulations for preservatives is therefore not possible within this publication. Users of the products named in these specifications are therefore obliged to inform themselves of the locally valid regulations. MTU Onsite Energy accepts no responsibility whatsoever for improper or illegal use of the preservatives which it has approved.

Safe disposal
To avoid environmental pollution and violation of regulatory requirements, dispose used fluids and lubricants in accordance with local regulations. Never dispose of or burn used oil in the fuel tank.

Regulations for disposal of fluids and lubricants vary by location. Environmental protection is one of the fundamental corporate objectives of MTU Onsite Energy, therefore, it is recommended that fluids and lubricants be recycled where available. If recycling is not available, MTU Onsite Energy recommends contacting the local waste disposal authority, before dispose any fluids and lubricants to determine the best option. Users of the products named in these specifications are, therefore, obliged to inform themselves of the locally valid regulations for disposal. MTU accepts no responsibility whatsoever for improper or illegal disposal of the fluids and lubricants which it has approved for use.

2 Preservation and Represervation


2.1 Notes on preservation and represervation
Preservation
"Preservation" refers to: initial preservation in the factory, the preservation of a field engine-generator set prior to an extended out-of-service period. MTU engine-generator sets are usually delivered with initial engine preservation as per factory standard MTV 5073. This is generally carried out during the acceptance test on the test bench. In the event of long operation interruptions, machined and unprotected surfaces, such as cylinder running surfaces, are prone to corrosion and therefore need to be preserved. Preservation measures are carried out in the same manner as represervation. The scope of (re-)preservation depends on the duration of the out-of-service period.
Field engine-generator sets and such that were put out-of-service for a scheduled major overhaul must be preserved immediately after their last service period. Coolant circuits must always be preserved after the coolant has been drained. Preservation is not required if the coolant is left in the system.

Preservation must be repeated at regular intervals (represervation).

Represervation
"Represervation" refers to the renewal of already existing preservation at specified time intervals. The intervals differ for internal and external represervation and for internal represervation according to the different media (oil, fuel, coolant) and filling levels. For represervation intervals, refer to ( Page 19) and ( Page 21).
As the represervation intervals and the media also depend on the storage conditions and type of packaging, the warranty shall become invalid in the event of incorrect storage or packaging.

For storage and transport conditions, see ( Page 17).

Preservatives
The service life, operational reliability and function of the drive systems are largely dependent on the fluids, lubricants and preservatives employed. The correct selection and treatment of these fluids, lubricants and preservatives are therefore extremely important.
TIM-ID: 0000040216 - 002

For preservation and represervation of MTU engine-generator sets, only the preservatives approved in these preservation specifications must be used ( Page 10).

Documentation requirements
Preservation, represervation, depreservation and monitoring of an engine-generator set with climatecompatible packaging must be documented by the person responsible: (Re-)preservation check sheet ( Page 8) Instruction sheet for depreservation if climate-compatible packaging is used ( Page 35) Monitoring sheet for engines with climate-compatible packaging ( Page 46)

A001071/00E 2013-05 | Preservation and Represervation | 7

2.2 Check sheet for preservation and represervation


All preservation work that is performed must be recorded on the check sheet shown below. For engine-generator sets stored with a manufacturer guarantee, the Monitoring Sheet ( Page 46) must also be filled out and sent back to MTU Onsite Energy in due time before putting the engine-generator set back into operation.

Correct completion of the preservation tasks as specified in the preservation specifications must be certified on this check sheet by the person completing the various tasks.

x Suitable for preservation Unsuitable for preservation *) In the following section also referred to as inhibitor concentration, see Information:
In contrast to coolants, inhibitor concentrations also protect the coolant circuit against corrosion when drained. As inhibitor concentrations can also contain vapor-phase inhibitors, ensure that the coolant circuits are always hermetically sealed to prevent inhibitors from escaping, thus reducing the corrosion protection.

12 | Approved Preservatives | A001071/00E 2013-05

Aqueous corrosion inhibitors are not approved for engine-generator set preservation when filled. Reason: Lack of antifreeze protection and susceptibility to microbiological attack.

When mixing coolant or inhibitor concentration, only clean, clear water with values in accordance with those in the following table must be used.

4 Represervation Intervals
4.1 Dependency between storage conditions and type of packaging
Preserved engine-generator sets must be represerved to retain the corrosion protection. Only approved preservatives ( Page 10) must be used for represervation. The represervation intervals depend on the storage conditions and type of packaging.

Storage conditions
A distinction is made between the following storage conditions:
Storage condition Normal Operating areas frost-free, closed and heated rooms, clean max. temperature fluctuations between 10 and 40 C monthly average relative air humidity 65 % dust or contamination dew point undershot > 20 % of the month monthly average relative air humidity > 65 % salt-laden air outdoor storage ocean transport, dispatch to polar and tropical regions

4.2 Interpretation examples


The change intervals are based on fresh media with current date of manufacturer. If media are already old, the change interval is reduced by the aging period.

Example 1: Factory-new engine-generator set with unfilled media circuits in commercially available packaging
A preserved engine-generator set with unfilled media circuits is to be stored for 24 months in a closed, frostproof warehouse. The engine-generator set is wrapped in commercially available packaging. What are the represervation requirements? In this case, the table for engine-generator sets with unfilled media circuits is relevant ( Page 21). Unfilled media circuits normal storage conditions commercially available packaging: The media circuits (oil, fuel, coolant) and the combustion chamber must be represerved every 12 months. The preservation of the external shell (non-painted parts) must be replaced every 36 months. Non-engine components must be represerved according to their requirements ( Page 22).

Example 2: Engine-generator set with unfilled media circuits in climatecompatible packaging


A preserved engine-generator set with unfilled media circuits is to be stored for 60 months in climatecompatible packaging. What are the represervation requirements? In this case, the table for engine-generator sets with unfilled media circuits is relevant ( Page 21). Unfilled media circuits unsuitable storage conditions climate-compatible packaging: The media circuits (oil, fuel, coolant) and the combustion chamber must be represerved every 36 months. The preservation of the external shell (non-painted parts) must be replaced every 36 months. Non-engine components must be represerved according to their requirements ( Page 22).

Example 3: Engine-generator set with filled media circuits (not approved for climate-compatible packaging)
An engine-generator set with filled media circuits (approved preservatives without aging) is to be taken out of service for approximately 12 months and stored under difficult conditions. What are the represervation requirements? In this case, the table for engine-generator sets with filled media circuits is relevant ( Page 19). Filled media circuits difficult storage conditions commercially available packaging: Oil: No measures necessary because the filled preservative oil does not have to be replaced until after 36 months. Coolant: No measures necessary because the filled coolant does not have to be replaced until after 24 or 36 month (depending on product). Fuel: The filled diesel fuel must be replaced every 6 months. The combustion chamber must be represerved every 6 months. The preservation of the external shell (non-painted parts) must be replaced every 12 months. Non-engine components must be represerved according to their requirements ( Page 22).

8 Packaging
8.1 Types of packaging
This chapter describes the engine packaging.

The type of engine packaging depends on the storage and transport conditions. A distinction is made between the following types of packaging: Commercially available packaging goods are intended for immediate use Climate-compatible packaging for protection of goods susceptible to corrosion during ocean transport, shipping to polar and tropical regions and for unsuitable storage conditions Note: "Climate-compatible packaging" corresponds to the "special packaging" in earlier editions of the "Fluids and Lubricants Specifications for Diesel engine-generator sets" (A001064/..). The term has been adapted to the packaging manual. In the case of long-term storage of engines, for example, for 3, 5 or 10 years in climate packaging, regular re-preservation in accordance with the specified intervals ( Page 19) and ( Page 21) is nevertheless necessary. Engines and drive units require special packaging for transportation at sea, in polar or tropical regions and for long-term storage. The preserved engine must be additionally protected with climate-compatible packaging. With climate-compatible packaging, where possible all media must be completely drained out of the respective medium circuit (fuel, oil, coolant). The climate-compatible packaging must be applied directly after preservation. Ensure that any engine painting has hardened beforehand. Climate-compatible packaging: can reduce the effects of unsuitable storage conditions, although it does not provide frost protection is absolutely necessary for sea transport and transport in tropical and polar regions due to the threat of exterior shell corrosion Notes: Incorrect storage will render the warranty invalid. The humidity indicator of climate-compatible packaging must be checked every 3 to 4 months. The result must be documented in accordance with ( Page 46) and measures initiated if necessary. Existing special agreements still retain their validity. The following descriptions refer to the use of climate-compatible packaging for the storage of preserved engines.

TIM-ID: 0000043956 - 002

8.2 Climate-compatible packaging Design


The following packing aids are used for the climate-compatible packaging: A Outer layers of bonded-layer material (e.g. laminated aluminum foil) B Water-absorbing desiccant (e.g. silica gel) C Humidity indicator The packaged products are shrink-wrapped in composite foil and the enclosed air is extracted. When desiccants packs are placed in the packaging, the residual moisture is reduced to a desired relative air humidity. The climate packaging prevents condensation on the metal surface and thus any resulting corrosion damage.

A Outer layers of bonded-layer material


The outer layers consist of tightly-bonded layers of aluminum composite foil which has limited permeability to water vapor and gas. The laminated aluminum foil used at MTU consists of polyethylene and aluminum with the following properties: Temperature range for the application +70 C to 55 C Water vapor permeability: 0.1 g/m per day at 38 C and 80% relative humidity (in comparison, PVC flexible foil WVP: 6 g/m per day) For composite foils used at MTU, refer to the list of consumables ( Page 40).

B Desiccant
Desiccant, normally silica gel, is the common term for an agent that absorbs water and is used in climate packaging. The desiccant is in packs of highly-permeable (for water vapor) and strong material (e.g. natron crepe paper) which are placed in the transport package.

Example of a desiccant pack

TIM-ID: 0000019178 - 001

For desiccant packs used at MTU, refer to the list of consumables ( Page 40).

Calculation of the required desiccant units.


The amount of desiccant units to be used in packaging for shipping depends on the climatic conditions and on storage at the destination. A001071/00E 2013-05 | Packaging | 37

The minimum quantity of desiccant units to be used is to be calculated as follows:


Climatic zone Desiccant units (DU) per area of composite foil in m (A) 6xA DUs per kg packag+ ing aid (PA) + 17 x PA = = Desiccant units (DU) DUs per shipping package DUs per shipping package

A Europe (apart from Russia) B USA Canada Mediterranean region Near East C Russia South and Central America Middle East and Far East

8xA

20 x PA

17 x A

20 x PA

DUs per shipping package

Table 1: Calculation of desiccant units Procedure: 1. Measure surface A of the laminated aluminum foil for the packaging. 2. Weigh the packing aids (PAs), such as wood, corrugated cardboard etc., required to support and pad the engine within the laminated aluminum foil. 3. Determine in and through which climatic zones the engine is to be sent and stored in the packaging. 4. Calculate the required desiccant units (DUs). Note: If the laminated aluminum foil is damaged after replacing it or touching it up, perform the following calculation of the DUs again. Calculation example for desiccant units: Packaging for climatic zone C Area of composite foil: 10 m Weight of packing aids: 3 kg
Calculation: 17 DU x 10 170 DUs + + 20 DU x 3 60 DUs = = DUs per shipping package 230 DUs

Result: 230 desiccant units (DUs) are required for adequate protection of the engine.

C Humidity indicator
To monitor the degree of saturation of the desiccant, a humidity indicator is attached to the aluminum foil packaging.
TIM-ID: 0000019178 - 001

Humidity indicators show when the specified relative air humidity is exceeded by changing color. The increase in relative air humidity, e.g. if the packaging is not airtight or the laminated aluminum foil is damaged, poses a risk of corrosion to the engine. A vision panel with humidity indicator is screwed into the laminated aluminum foil, which must be as far away from the desiccant as possible. The vision panel allows the relative air humidity within the laminated aluminum foil or any changes to be checked at all times.

38 | Packaging | A001071/00E 2013-05

Example of a humidity indicator

Note: The air humidity inside the packaging must be checked regularly every 3 to 4 months ( Page 46). Measures to be carried out in case of changes to the relative air humidity are listed in the following table.

Reading the humidity indicator


Area 30 40 Discoloration as an indicator of the relative air humidity Pink discoloration: Relative humidity above 30% Pink discoloration: Relative humidity above 40% Measures to be initiated Shorten checking period Check humidity indicator every 4 weeks Replace desiccant, ensure the amount is cor-

Applying the desiccant


Note: 1. 2. The desiccant units must not come into direct contact with corrosive engine components. Insert the calculated number of desiccant units. Calculation example: ( Page 37). The desiccant units must be fastened in the upper third of the sealed cover and attached to the engine block, freely suspended if possible. Use suitable fastening materials for the desiccant units (e.g. string or adhesive tape) to prevent damage to the desiccant units, the engine or the laminated aluminium foil.

3.

Installation of humidity indicator and vision panel


1. The holes for the humidity indicator and the vision panel are to be cut into the laminated aluminum foil at a point that is clearly visible and as far away from the desiccant units as possible. The vision panel is to be fastened in such a way that the engine number can be checked.

2.

3.

Screw the humidity indicator and vision panel into the laminated aluminium foil.

Sealing the laminated aluminum foil


1. Seal the laminated aluminium foil using the manual foil-welding device ( Page 40).

2.

Result:

Prior to final sealing of the laminated aluminium foil, use a vacuum pump (e.g. vacuum cleaner) to extract the entrapped air in the packaging. Avoid excessively tight fitting of the laminated aluminium foil because stress during transportation can result in chafing of the laminated aluminium foil. The vacuum created results in the laminated aluminium foil to lie lightly against the engine. Extracting the air removes the humidity in the air, thus reducing the humidity within the packaging.

Leak-tightness check
Note: u If the packaging is not sufficiently tight, it will lose its tension within 30 minutes and expand. If the packaging is not airtight, the leak can be detected by blowing air into the packaging and resealing the packaging.

Designation / Use Manual foil-welding device (commercially available) Laminated aluminium foil, 1.00 m wide Laminated aluminium foil, 1.25 m wide Laminated aluminium foil, 1.50 m wide Desiccant, 125 g = 4 units Desiccant, 250 g = 8 units Desiccant, 500 g = 16 units Desiccant, 1000 g = 32 units Note: Part No. 49576 49577 49579 49542 49543 49544 49545 Qty.

When checking the climate packaging, the laminated aluminum foil must not be damaged. Open the transport box (if available) with utmost care. The condition of the laminated aluminum foil must be inspected thoroughly during customs, stock or storage checks. Corrosion protection is no longer guaranteed if the laminated aluminum foil is damaged.

Checking the air humidity


1. 2. Check humidity level regularly every 3 to 4 months. Enter findings in Monitoring Sheet ( Page 46). If the engine's warranty period is still valid, send the Monitoring Sheet to MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH after commissioning.

Replacing desiccant
1. 2. 3. Open the laminated aluminium foil at the upper area and remove the desiccant. Place the same amount of new desiccant in the upper area. Extract air and reseal laminated aluminium foil with manual foil-welding device ( Page 40)until airtight.

Repair of climate-compatible packaging


Note: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. If the laminated aluminium foil is damaged, the damaged section can be cut out and replaced by a repair piece. Incorrect repair work, e.g. using adhesive tape, is not permitted since it would not maintain the vacuum in the packaging. Cut out damaged laminated aluminum foil section. Seal new laminated aluminum foil section with manual foil-welding device. Place new desiccant in packaging. Prior to final sealing of the laminated aluminium foil, use a vacuum pump (e.g. vacuum cleaner) to extract the entrapped air in the packaging. Reseal laminated aluminium foil with manual foil-welding device.
