MAN B&W Offers GenSet And

Propulsion Engine

A new generation of HFO engines is now being offered by MAN B&W with the addition of the L27/38, an innovative, com- pact HFO engine available in a propulsion version from Alpha Diesel and a GenSet ver- sion from Holeby

Diesel.

The L27/38 is touted as smaller and lighter than other long- stroke engines in its power class and can be installed in restricted engine room areas. It has high output and low lube and fuel oil con- sumption, and is designed for 20,000 to 25,000 service hours between overhauls.

Each complete cylinder assembly can be removed as a unit for maintenance or replace- ment without requiring a large overhaul height. The L27/38 meets future IMO NOx emission limits. All support functions including oil and water pumps, coolers, filters and safety and regulator valves are housed in a single front-end box for easy access and maintenance.

Cygnus measuring meters implement a multi- echo method to detect metal thickness and can measure through paint. The meters can be used underwater to depths of more than 1,000 ft. and are available with data loggers which will log eight hours of readings before changing batteries.
