Omission of Cylinder-Cover-Mounted Safety Valves
All MAN B&W Two-stroke Engines
Action Code: WHEN CONVENIENT
Dear Sirs
MAN Diesel has decided to omit the so-called safety valve on all new engines
delivered from 1 January 2007, as all engines of the MAN B&W design already
have a built-in safety function with regard to excessive combustion pressure.
The cylinder pressure is controlled as a part of routine maintenance, and in the
event that the cylinder pressure exceeds the design limit, the elasticity in the
cylinder cover studs will allow the cylinder cover to lift, thereby ensuring relief of the
high pressure gas. The safety valve used so far will not, in any case, be able to
cater for such a situation.
Thus, the safety valve on engines in service can be omitted, pending the simple
modification described in the following as well as approval from the relevant
classification society.

The necessary modifications are listed below:
substitute the valve with a plug in accordance with EN47AR22
add a jacketed packing ring in accordance with EN14B2230.
Remove the safety valve
Substitute the safety valve with a plug in accordance with EN47AR22
Add a jacketed packing ring in accordance with EN14B2230
Engines in service before 2007
The above modification is also applicable to engines that entered service before 1
January 2007, based on the following argumentation:
Many years ago, all classification societies of IACS (International Associations of
Classification Societies) introduced rules that required safety valves with the
combustion chambers. The classification societies requested that the opening
pressure be adjusted to approximate pmax + 40%.
In order to fulfil this class rule, MAN Diesel A/S developed safety valves that were
design approved, pressure tested and certified by the individual classification society
