RT-flex: A High Efficiency Electronically Controlled Injection and Timing for Large-Scale Ship Engine

Reducing costs and environmental protection has always been one of the important goalsof humans. The maritime transport industry has been one of the main consumers ofenergy throughout history, so the use of modern technologies to increase the efficiencyof ship engines is very important to reduce costs and also reduce emissions. In the past,the RTA system was used in ship engines. In this system, the timing of soups, fuelinjection, etc. was mostly mechanical, and for this reason, a single system controlled theinjection and valve timing for all cylinders. In this paper, a novel method is presentedfor engine control which results in removing many mechanical parts and enginecomplexities. In fact, by separating the computers of each cylinder, called FCM, taskssuch as fuel injection and valve timing are also detached. This system is named RT-flex,which provides higher efficiency, less fuel consumption, and less pollution than the previous system, and also has lower supply and maintenance costs.
