B&W Uniflow Scavenging System offers low fuel consumption. B&W engines mean low specific fuel consumption at all loads. 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, symmetri cal thermal loads on cylinder walls, cylinder cover and piston, plus low fuel and lube oil consumption. In conjunction with Uniflow Scavenging the renowned hydraulically operated exhaust valve, so successful in the K-GF and adopted unchanged in the L-GF series, ensures the attainment of optimum , process timing for all fuel grades.
