K19 engine, with an enhanced tur- bocharger and other key perfor- mance features aimed at achieving lower operating costs and higher reliability.

The new K19 engine has been uprated from 580 to 600 bhp, and the increase in power was accompa- nied by a five to seven percent in- crease in available torque through- out the operating range.

On top of the performance strides are significant gains in fuel effi- ciency.

Fuel consumption, along the pro- peller load curve (and at lower speeds), has also been dramatically improved from five to 10 percent, depending on load conditions.

According to Dave Brower, chief engineer at Cummins Marine, the improvement could translate into an annual savings of $6,500 per en- gine when compared to similar-sized competitive engines, based on 5,000 hours of annual operation with an 80 percent load factor.

To get the improved performance and efficiencies, the company used several new components.

The new Holset HX-80 turbo- charger provides a quick response and increased low-speed torque char- acteristics, the manufacturer claims.

New cylinder head designs have yielded improved air flow at all en- gine speeds; and fuel injection im- provements have also contributed to the K19 engine performance. To get a free copy of the Cummins gaming brochure,
