Abstract

Injectors play a crucial role in optimal combustion of marine diesel generator engines, but their performance degradation often causes exhaust gas temperature fluctuations that reduce efficiency and operational reliability. This study aims to analyze the effect of injector performance on exhaust gas temperature on the SV. STELLA 28 vessel. Using a causal descriptive quantitative approach, the population is operational data of Auxiliary Engine 1 and 2 for 12 months, with a purposive sample of 70 observations. Instruments include injector maximum pressure (PMAX) measurements and exhaust gas temperature thermocouples, analyzed through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, simple linear regression, and SPSS. The results show a significant effect (Sig. 0.000) with R² 0.417 and the equation . The conclusion states that optimal injector performance stabilizes exhaust gas temperature, supporting condition-based maintenance.

Abstract

Auxiliary engines in marine diesel generators frequently experience exhaust gas temperature (EGT) deviations due to suboptimal fuel injection pressure, contributing to inefficient combustion and increased emissions amid IMO 2025 sulfur regulations. This study aims to analyze the effect of fuel injection pressure on EGT in Auxiliary Engine No. 1 (Yanmar 6NY16L) onboard MT. Kakap and identify causal factors. Employing a sequential exploratory mixed-methods design, the population comprised all six cylinders with purposive sampling on the problematic cylinder (deviation >40°C) and 50 data points from pre-post maintenance measurements in April 2025. Instruments included injection pressure testers, EGT pyrometers, logbooks, and semi-structured interviews, analyzed via thematic coding, paired t-test, and Pearson correlation. Results revealed significant pressure increase from 200 to 240 kgf/cm² post-maintenance, normalizing EGT to 260°C average (t=9.834, p=0.01) with strong positive correlation (r=0.952). In conclusion, routine injector maintenance at 1500-2000 running hours prevents EGT deviations and enhances operational efficiency.
