Abstract:

Methods for improving the performance of the main diesel engines

of the 378-foot Coast Guard High Endurance Cutter have been investgated.

These engines are models FM3W8-l-/8 rated for 3600hp at

90QrDM. Present engine performance was evaluated through questionnaires

and interviews with cognizant Coast Guard personnel and visits

to selected cutters. In addition, operating records of the Coast

Guard and Colt Industries were reviewed. Limited -engine testing was

performed to verify data trends. We concluded that improvements in

engine performance can be made by converting these engines to a new

style turbocharger system, pistons, and injectors. Recommendations

are also made on methods to improve data taking in full-power trials

and engine trend analysis.
