Exhaust Emissions from Marine Diesel Engines Using Residual Fuel

JOURNAL OF THE MARINE ENGINEERING SOCIETY IN JAPAN, 1997
Recently the air pollution caused by marine diesel has become a more serious problem. For such engines heavy fuel, e. g. bunker fuel oil, is usually used. High residual portion and long ignition delay are the main disadvantage of heavy fuel. Their effects are especially severe at low load, which is the running condition of ships near the seashore where
