Abstract
Hydraulic system of the fuel oil supply to the electronically controlled main engine resolve the problem of the optimized control of the engine which act beneficially to the specific fuel oil consumption and a reduction of the NOx emission. The assumed numerical example is giving insight to the power consumption for the hydraulic control of the fuel oil injection and exhaust valve operation for the two stroke marine engine. The calculated power is higher for the fuel oil pressure booster operation compared to the exhaust valve actuator for about 88%, which is resulted due to the higher operating pressure of the fuel injection to the cylinder, versus lower operating pressure required for the opening of the exhaust valve.
