Keywords: industrial diesel engines, emission regulations, exhaust opacity, emission reduction technologies, alternative fuels.

Russian make serial diesel engines were tested for environmental performance in IACS-attested laboratory. Considerable share of commercially available engine families are shown to be non-compliant with new national standards GOST 31967–2012 (gaseous exhaust emissions) and GOST 24028–2013 (exhaust gas smoke emissions). Emission reduction technologies are offered, including, in particular, use of alternative fuels.

The review contains two papers. One of them discusses the results of simulation of modular hybrid power system for ship application. It is shown that electric efficiency of hybrid system firing natural gas reaches 66,8 % at part load, while noxious emissions are next to zero. A battery or super-capacitor is used to compensate for high thermal inertia of cell stack, so as to improve system transient characteristics. Another paper discusses issues involved in upgrades or replacement of emergency diesel-generators of nuclear power plants. The CIMAC papers are translated into Russian by G.Melnik, PhD.
