论文已在中国上海举行的2013年CIMAC大会上发表，论文的版权归CIMAC所有。In the year 2004, the Integrated Project HERCULES-A (High Efficiency Engine R&D on Combustion with Ultra Low Emissions for Ships) was initiated by the major engine makers MAN & Wartsila, which together hold 90% of the world market. It was the Phase I of the HERCULES R&D programme on large engine technologies. The HERCULES-A, involved 42 industrial & university partners, with a budget of 33M e, partly funded by the European Union. The project was broad in the coverage of the various R&D topics and considered a range of options and technologies in improving efficiency and reducing emissions. HERCULES-B was the Phase ll of the Programme, from 2008 to 2011, with 32 participant organisations and 26 M Ebudget, partly funded by European Union. The general targets for emissions and fuel consumption were retained in HERCULES-B. However, based on the developed know-how and results of HERCULES-A, it was possible to narrow down the search area, to focus on potential breakthrough research and to further develop the most promising techniques for lower specific fuel consumption (andCO2 emissions) and ultra-low gaseous and particulate emissions. The HERCULES-C project (2012-2015), with 22 participant organizations and 17 M ebudget, is the Phase lll of the HERCULES programme and adopts a combinatory approach, with an extensive integration of the multitude of new technologies identified in Phase I and Phase ll, for engine thermal processes optimization, system integration, as well as engine reliability and lifetime. This paper provides an overview of the complex structure, as well as the main achievements of the HERCULES R&D programme in the past 10 years. Keywords: Marine Diesel Engines。
