Propulsion Update

The new L 32/40 diesel engine

MAN B&W Diesel AG Introduces

Newest Engine, The L 32/40

MAN B&W Diesel AG of Ger- stroke engine, covering the power many has introduced its newest four- range of 2,600 to 4,000 kW. This is a continuation of the medium-speed engine family, which includes: the L 40/54, L/V/48/60 and L 58/64. The company has placed its experience with the other engines, as well as design features into the L 32/40.

In addition to the proven features, the L 32/40 addresses two problems which shipowners face today, eco- logical requirements and fuel oil con- sumption.

Introduced with the L 32/40 is a special conceptual feature, separate camshafts for injection and charge air renewal resulting in: — Load dependent adaption of the valve timing and thus clean, low pol- lutant combustion from full power to the lower load ranges; — Operation at favorable specific fuel consumption irrespective of the fuel quality (182 g/kWh).

This concept reportedly permits a prompt reaction to environmental requirements without a large ex- penditure by utilizing an adjusting device.

MAN B&W reports that the new

L 32/40 engine has a lube oil con- sumption of 1 g/kWh, a long service life of important wear parts permit- ting maintenance intervals of two years and a simple maintenance concept based on its large medium- speed engines.
