Engine Description

Section 2 covers the design and function of the TBD 620 in detail. It includes engine illustrations from every side (right, left, free, top), cross-section and longitudinal-section drawings, and system-by-system explanations covering the cylinder head, driving mechanism, crankcase, engine control, speed governing, exhaust turbocharger, fuel system, lubricating oil system, coolant system, pneumatic system, monitoring system and electrical equipment. Speed control systems documented include the Woodward PSG hydraulic governor and the Heinzmann and Woodward electronic governors.

Operating the Engine

Section 3 walks through commissioning, including pre-start checks for coolant, untreated water, lubricating oil and fuel systems. It covers manual and automatic starting procedures for both electrical and pneumatic starters, warm and cold engine starting, engine shutdown (local and remote), shutdown for prolonged periods, and low-load operation guidelines. The manual specifies that continuous operation below 25% of rated power should be avoided and followed by at least one hour at full load.

Operating Media

Section 4 specifies the fuel, lubricating oil and coolant requirements for the TBD 620, including technical circular references for each. It also lists auxiliary materials — sealants, securing agents, gluing agents, lubricants and cleaning products — with their DEUTZ material designations and application examples.

Maintenance

Section 5 is the heart of the manual for anyone keeping a TBD 620 running. It provides daily checks and servicing operations with specific values — coolant temperatures, lubricating oil pressures at 1500/min and 1860/min, charge air pressures, exhaust gas temperature limits, intake air negative pressure limits and fuel temperature ranges. The periodic maintenance schedules are split by duty cycle: continuous operation over 2000 hours/year, continuous operation 300-2000 hours/year, and standby under 300 hours/year. Each schedule lists maintenance work at specific intervals with the relevant job card number.

Malfunctions, Causes and Remedies

Section 6 is a troubleshooting reference organized by symptom. It covers the engine not starting, starting but not igniting, failing to reach required output, hard knocking, output or speed drops, governor issues, excessive speeds, lubricating oil pressure loss, oil temperature rise, water in oil, charge air pressure and temperature problems, coolant problems, and exhaust discoloration (black, blue and white). Each entry lists possible causes and the specific remedy, with job card references.

Technical Data

Section 8 provides the numbers. Engine data includes cylinder count, total piston displacement, bore and stroke, piston area per cylinder, compression ratio, direction of rotation, firing order for all three configurations, speeds, and exhaust gas turbocharger specifications. Operating data covers filling quantities for lubricating oil and coolant, coolant temperatures and pressures, lube oil temperatures and pressures, filter mesh sizes, prelubrication pump data, delivery rates of lube oil pumps, exhaust gas temperatures, charge air temperatures and pressures, intake air pressures, starting air pressures and fuel temperatures and pressures. A section on adjusting data for monitoring units gives alarm and engine stop settings for lubricating oil pressure, temperature, level, coolant temperature and flow, charge air temperature, crankcase overpressure and overspeed protection. Weights and tightening specifications (including torque values and angles) round out the section.

Job Cards

Section 9 contains the job cards — the step-by-step procedures for maintenance work. These are the B-series cards covering general safety, cylinder head valve clearance, power plant checks, flexible coupling inspection, crankcase ventilation, engine alignment, speed governor adjustments, exhaust system, fuel system, lubricating oil system, coolant system, compressed air system, monitoring units, rubber damper and V-belt, and electrical equipment. Each job card lists the tools, spare parts and cross-references needed.

Engine Preservation

Section 7 covers preservation for storage, referencing technical circular 0199-99-2116, with procedures for external and internal preservation, preservation runs and protection duration.

What This Manual Enables You to Do

This is not a generic engine guide. It is the specific operating, maintenance and troubleshooting documentation for the DEUTZ MWM TBD 620 series, covering the V8, V12 and V16 engines in the detail required by the engineers and technicians who run them. With this manual you can:

• Commission a TBD 620 correctly, whether warm or cold, with electrical or pneumatic starting
• Perform daily and periodic maintenance to the schedule that matches your duty cycle
• Troubleshoot starting, running, output, temperature and pressure problems using the symptom-based tables
• Read and apply the technical data — firing orders, clearances, torque values, pressure and temperature limits — for the specific engine configuration
• Follow the job cards for maintenance and inspection procedures
• Understand the engine systems from the detailed descriptions and illustrations

Why the Correct Procedures and Specs Matter

Large industrial diesel engines like the TBD 620 are expensive to repair and expensive to have down. The maintenance intervals, torque values, clearances and operating limits in this manual are specific to the engine — not general guidance. Using the wrong valve clearance, oil pressure setting or coolant temperature can lead to damage that costs far more than the manual. The troubleshooting chapter is organized to get you from symptom to cause to remedy without guesswork, and the job cards include the tools and part references you need before you start.
