B&W Unit low Scavenging System copes even with slow-burning fuel. Uniflow Scavenging is simple: Only inlet ports in the cylinder liner and only one exhaust valve in the cover. It is efficient: Incoming air and displaced gases describe a straightforward flow pattern of low resistance, as in a tube. Advantages include low, symmetrical thermal loads on cylinder walls, cylinder cover and piston, plus low fuel and lube oil consumption. B&W's efficient scavenging means better combustion - further enhanced by the shape of the combustion space and optimum spray configuration. The scavenging and evenburning characte- ristics on the B&W GF-engines will be increasingly appreciated especially as fuel qualities available at reasonable prices decline. B&W engines mean low specific fuel consumption at all loads.
