The Crankshaft of Wartsila Engine 8L32 has been successfully repaired recently on board a vessel at Karwar Port Goa. The job of in-place machining of one number crankpin was a challenge as the vessel was to sail within 18 hours of boarding our technicians.
The details of the Wartsila 8L32 Engine crankshaft repaired by us is as follows
S. No. | Crankshaft Details | |
1. | Engine Make | Wartsila |
2. | Engine Model | 8L32 |
3. | Crankpin Diameter Standard | 310 mm |
4. | Crankpin Bearing Width | 118 mm |
5. | Place of execution of crankshaft repair | At Karwar Port Goa |
In this case, after examining the crankshaft and assessing the damage of the crankpin, the crankpin having a standard diameter of 310 mm was reduced to 308 mm. The radius fillet of the Wartsila crankshaft was also badly damaged due to the accident and was successfully repaired on board the vessel by our technicians.
The engine was commissioned in the presence of our technicians as the undersized bearing was available.
