Motor starters and operation of electrically driven pumps
Separators, preheaters, compressors and fuel feed units are normally supplied as
pre-assembled units with the necessary motor starters included. The engine turning device
and various electrically driven pumps require separate motor starters. Motor starters for
electrically driven pumps are to be dimensioned according to the selected pump and electric
motor.
Motor starters are not part of the control system supplied with the engine, but available as
optional delivery items.
Engine turning device (9N15)
The crankshaft can be slowly rotated with the turning device for maintenance purposes. The
motor starter must be designed for reversible control of the motor. The electric motor ratings
are listed in the table below.

Pre-lubricating oil pump
The pre-lubricating oil pump must always be running when the engine is stopped. The pump
shall start when the engine stops, and stop when the engine starts. The engine control system
handles start/stop of the pump automatically via a motor starter.
It is recommended to arrange a back-up power supply from an emergency power source.
Diesel generators serving as the main source of electrical power must be able to resume their
operation in a black out situation by means of stored energy. Depending on system design
and classification regulations, it may be permissible to use the emergency generator.
Exhaust gas ventilation unit
The exhaust gas ventilating unit is engine specific and includes an electric driven fan, flow
switch and closing valve. For further information, see chapter Exhaust gas system.
Gas valve unit (GVU)
The gas valve unit is engine specific and controls the gas flow to the engine. The GVU is
equipped with a built-on control system. For further information, see chapter Fuel system.
Stand-by pump, lubricating oil (if installed) (2P04)
The engine control system starts the pump automatically via a motor starter, if the lubricating
oil pressure drops below a preset level when the engine is running. There is a dedicated sensor
on the engine for this purpose.
The pump must not be running when the engine is stopped, nor may it be used for
pre-lubricating purposes. Neither should it be operated in parallel with the main pump, when
the main pump is in order.
