Turbochargers with VTA systems on engines in the MAN 51/60DF range mean that the company is the only turbocharger manufacturer to offer axial turbochargers with VTA as standard for any engines in the large-bore, four-stroke segment.
The company claims that VTA systems typically pay back in 18 to 24 months and have a range of benefits including significant fuel savings and operational flexibility, improved dynamic performance and a better response to load fluctuations.
MAN is now planning to make VTA systems standard on its 51/60G gas engine types and has introduced new VTA-specific training courses at its PrimeServ Academy.
