Abstract

The oil crises in 1973 and 1979 caused considerable effort to decrease the fuel consumption. As a result, the main engine had been changed through the shape(from loop scavenging air system to uniflow scavenging air system), higher compression ratio, low speed and long stroke. It is difficult to make a various engine satisfied with all owner's request. So manufacturer could find a way that can change the rating through large range from the engine already manufactured. These ways are tried through large range to change rpm to 72% and engine's output to 48% of MCR with keeping the normal engine's shape almost. The important element considered in the process of derated output of the main engine is to recover the beginning overcapitalization as soon as possible through low SFOC. In this paper, it is compared and considered between rating and derating engine with several data about modifying rating which have been done by engine manufacturer so far. And the selection process of derating engine is studied also.
