The basic problem is internal leak and ELFI worn should be the cause.
To solve, all ELFI should be
replace or overhaul. All 7 proportional valve (6 ELFI and 1 HPS) running hours already far over the
recommended 32 000 hrs.
Proportional valve life span mainly depend on the cleanliness of lube oil, ship must maintain oil
cleanliness according to standard of IOS 4406X/16/13.
We try to advise to temporally increase the pressure setting and try to solve the problem. All adjustment
must be set back after problem solve. A set of instruction had pass to Chief Engineer
Firstly try to balance the displacement of both pump at high load as in part 4 of the instruction. Base the
photo, pump#1 having lower current, thus, try to increase it. With both pump running, adjust the
displacement of pump#1. Make marking before adjustment. Monitoring motor current while adjusting.
Than adjust the pressure valve to increase the put pressure
Increase the output of 212 as in part 2 of the instruction.
Refer to the hydraulic diagram valve 212 pressure relief valve before proportion valve (210). By
disconnect J70 of EICU, proportional valve is not in control and pressure output in by valve 212.
Increase 212 so that 210 will have more to various.
After disconnect J70, check the pressure before adjustment try increase to 240bar than put back j70 and
check pressure again.
