Differences between MC/MC-C and ME/ME-C engines

The electrohydraulic control mechanisms of the ME engine replace the following components of the conventional MC engine:

  • Chain drive for camshaft
  • Camshaft with fuel cams, exhaust cams and indicator cams
  • Fuel pump actuating gear, includiismng roller guides and reversing mechanism
  • Conventional fuel pressure booster and VIT system
  • Exhaust valve actuating gear and roller guides
  • Engine driven starting air distributor
  • Electronic governor with actuator
  • Regulating shaft
  • Engine side control console
  • Mechanical cylinder lubricators.

The Engine Control System of the ME engine comprises:

  • Control units
  • Hydraulic power supply unit
  • Hydraulic cylinder units, including:
    • Electronically controlled fuel injection, and
    • Electronically controlled exhaust valve activation
    • Electronically controlled starting air valves
    • Electronically controlled auxiliary blowers
    • Integrated electronic governor functions
    • Electronically controlled Alpha lubricators
