The complete relief valve assembly K 86050 is a safety-critical component installed on the starting air line of the Sulzer/Adriadiesel ZV40/48 engine, designed to protect the system from excessive pressure buildup during engine cranking. Engineered for rapid response and reliable opening under sudden pressure spikes, this valve prevents dangerous over-pressurization and safeguards both piping and auxiliary equipment. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance even in harsh operating conditions, while precise spring-loaded calibration maintains optimal safety margins. The K 86050 relief valve is essential for maintaining the integrity, reliability, and safe operation of high-pressure starting air systems on large marine and industrial engines.

The sleeve K 87087 is a highly durable guide and sealing element positioned inside the ZV40/48 engine’s pressure-regulating valve, where it ensures smooth, low-friction movement of the internal spindle and maintains precise hydraulic sealing. Manufactured to withstand pulsating pressures and continuous thermal variations, this sleeve upholds correct alignment and minimizes component wear, contributing to stable pressure control throughout engine operation. By protecting the spindle and valve body from abrasion and deformation, the sleeve K 87087 ensures long service life, reliable performance, and precise regulation of critical fuel or lubrication flows in heavy-duty engine applications.

K 87093 – Lock Nut for Spindle K 87088

Written by

The lock nut K 87093 is a precision-engineered securing component used on spindle K 87088 within the pressure-regulating systems of the Sulzer/Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda ZV40/48 diesel engine. Designed to maintain exact axial positioning under extreme vibration and thermal cycling, this lock nut ensures the stability and reliability of the valve mechanism throughout long operating intervals. By preventing loosening, thread damage, and micro-movement under load, it plays a vital role in safeguarding the accuracy of the regulating assembly, directly supporting consistent engine performance and long-term durability across demanding marine and power-plant environments.

The mounting of the turbocharger-to-turbocharger (tc-tc) system, code P51203-38, involves secure and vibration-resistant installation of critical turbocharging components in the MAN L21/31 engine. This arrangement ensures mechanical stability, optimal alignment, and efficient airflow between turbochargers, which is essential for balanced boost pressure and consistent engine performance. Proper mounting safeguards the longevity and effectiveness of the turbocharging system, especially under high-load, high-speed marine engine conditions.
