Good day

The engine im working on has 7K+ running hours still a new engine however according to the performance test the ignition pressure is low according to the acceptance test records. Is there a way to increase all cylinder ignition pressure? All replies will be appreciated thanks

Hello,

The values of ingnition pressure of an engine is on the test bed different as the measured values at site due to the different ambient conditions. There is no screw or device on the engine to turn up the ignition pressure. This value is always a result of the condition of the engine itself, the operating media and on the ambiend condition at site. To check the condition of the engine a performance test should be carried out. Send the measured values to your MaK representative. They will be able to check the values by means of the DICARE program. This program compares the measured engine data with those on the test bed and all other former measured engine data and evaluates the current condition of the engine. If anything is wrong with the engine DICARE will give a hint on what is needed to have the engine back into the normal condition. A MaK representative in your region can be found at the following page:
