According to the NOx regulations of annex Vi to IMO MARPOL 73/78, all diesel engines with a power output of more than 130 kW should be delivered so as to comply with the IMO speed dependent NOx limit. It is inevitable to adopt this regulations for marine engines Therefore, most of diesel engines which are being currently built should be designed and tested in accordance with the NOx technical code In this study, NOx concentrations of 4 type engines were measured with portable NOx measuring system recommended by ISO-8178. As the results NOx concentrations of each engine by variation of engine speed and engine load were visualized Also these results can be utilized for the basic design and development of diesel engine for NOx reduction.

According to the NOx level requirement of annex Vl to IMO(International Maritime Organization) MARPOL 73/78, this regulation shall apply to each diesel engine with a power output of more than 130 ㎾ which is installed on a ship constructed and undergoes a major conversion on or after 1 January 2000. It is inevitable to adopt IMO standard for marine engines. Therefore, most of diesel engines which are being currently built should be tested and surveyed in accordance with the NOx technical code. In this study, various technics of NOx reduction methods were investigated for the diesel engines and the methods of NOx measuring were introduced by the new and simplified field detecting equipment. These results can be utilized for the basic design and developement of diesel engine for NOx reduction.

It becomes necessary for engine manufactures to verify whether lots of engines on test bed during shop test are in compliance with NOx Technical Code for marine diesel engines more efficiently on the basis of engine group test concept which contains parent engine and member engines since all the engines are not needed to take NOx measurement. In addition, it becomes more obliged to consider parameters which affect NOx emission level and describe these parameters in NOx technical file as engine information and settings to define engine operation range with tolerance to make sure the engines are still in compliance with NOx emission limit on board after shop test. During preparation of engine group test for 4-stroke marine diesel engines, we evaluated NOx emission value under different engine operating conditions and found that there are certain parameters, for example, Charge air temperature and Max. cylinder pressure which have influence on NOx emission level. The NOx emission shall be satisfied with NOx technical code by means of controlling such parameters.
