Product Advantages
- Safe and reliable. High-strength design of the block, cylinder head and crankshaft; key components such as the turbocharger and high-pressure fuel pump are selected from excellent global suppliers.
- After 2000h of rigorous endurance testing, high reliability within the effective service life is achieved, guaranteeing vessel availability.
- Strong power. Two-stage turbocharging and two-stage intercooling give a power output per liter of up to 59kW/L and strong power.
- Low-speed high torque with strong instantaneous load response and fast acceleration.
- Fuel efficient. The electronic control unit provides precise control; the 2200bar high-pressure common rail fuel system reaches a minimum fuel consumption rate of 204g/kW·h for a longer cruising range.
- Dedicated optimization of the piston ring structure, camshaft profile and more keeps the oil consumption rate no higher than 0.3 g/kW·h.
- Comfortable and eco-friendly. Low-noise designs such as pilot injection calibration and intake silencing keep whole-engine noise no higher than 105dB(A).
- Meets EPA 3, IMO Tier Ⅱ and the China marine Stage II emission-stage emission standards.
- Connected intelligence. The proprietary ECU is safe and controllable and is equipped with the smart cloud platform to enable remote diagnosis, repair guidance and maintenance reminders.
- A comprehensive diagnostic system with reserved sensor interfaces meets the requirements of intelligent vessels.
