Series expanded
The Series 8000 engines are now available with an output of 10 MW
Series 8000 engines now cover a power range from 7,200 kW to 10,000 kW, enabling MTU to offer economically efficient, diesel-based propulsion solutions producing up to 40 MW per vessel.
At the Euronaval naval defense exhibition, currently held in Paris, France, MTU is also presenting a cut-away model of the series 1163 main propulsion engine. The unit is available in 12 V, 16 V and 20 V cylinder configurations, covering a power range from 4,440 kW to 7,400 kW. It is currently in operation on frigates and coast guard vessels among others. Compliance with IMO Tier II emission targets is achieved using purely in-engine technology and without exhaust after-treatment systems, MTU said. It is envisaged that engines projected for IMO Tier III, due to come into force from 2016, will meet emissions targets using SCR (selective catalytic reduction) technology.
