Water-cooled High-speed Diesel Engines for the Marine Industry


Ideal for all kinds of craft:

Because of their compact design and high specific output, MAN's high-speed diesel engines are used in ships of many types. From luxury yachts with planing hulls to heavy workboats with displacement hulls, MAN caters for all requirements by offering a broad range of engine models. In the case of auxilliary units for on-board generators, MAN engines are the epitome of reliability - in continuous operation or just to cover peak loads.

One engine series to suit the entire market:

The CRM series (cylinder bore 128 mm, stroke 155 or 142 mm) includes both 6-cylinder in-line engines with ratings from 550 to 800 hp and 8-, 10-, and 12-cylinder V models generating 900 to 1550 hp.

Basic Qualities

Every MAN engine sold is tested at full load prior to leaving the factory
Irrespective of details of design, all MAN engines have the same basic qualities
Economic operation thanks to low fuel and lube oil consumption
Low weight
Low maintenance effort and spare parts requirement
Long service life
Low Tier II emissions
Fast pick-up from dead start
Compact construction allowing the user to install more horse-power in tight spaces than available from other diesel engines
MAN Diesel Engines come custom equipped for their intended purpose
Well thought-out detail solutions
Water-cooled turbocharger
Water-cooled exhaust pipe
Raw-water-cooled intercooler and heat exchanger
Gear-driven raw water pump
Power take-offs
Wastegate, i.e. turbocharger with regulation of charge air pressure
Changeover-type fuel and oil filters
Crankcase breathers with return of lube oil mist to air pipe
Electronic engine control and monitoring systems

Quality in diesel engines is assessed today in terms not only of economy but also of environmental compatibility. The best exhaust gas and noise emission values are, after all, achieved only if the latest technology goes into the engines. With legislation progressing in leaps and bounds, engines for commercial applications are making the running for all branches of the marine industry which use high-speed diesel engines.

International competition is extremely tough, and a manufacturer will survive only if he can offer environmental engineering what a guarantee for the future and keep pace with - or even ahead of - developments in legislation.

As one of the worlds leading commercial engine producers, MAN can bring its decisive strengths into play, to the advantage of customers, from all branches of the marine industry: experience and expertise in vehicle construction, the latest engine technology for optimum exhaust gas and noise emissions and the advantages of large-scale production.

MAN's High-speed Diesel engines are in the top flight of modern engine technology - compact, powerful, economical and environmentally compatible. They offer everything a modern engine should have: high-pressure injection, turbocharging, intercooling, water cooling, electronic engine management systems and effective means of reducing noise at the source-on the engine itself.

Today, thanks to their innovative engineering, proverbial quality, and future-orientated environmental compatibility, MAN engines are to be found in many sectors of the marine industry. In yachts and tug-boats they prove their dependability with power, robustness, durability and constant readiness for action. They work as power units in ships and special-purpose marine applications. In power generation they produce the necessary energy for the wide range of marine needs - reliably and safely in constant operation or just in covering peak loads.

With MAN engines, the customer has the best of all worlds. MAN is the only engine manufacturer to build all its in-line engines for both horizontal, vertical or inclined installation. Engine characteristics and different power and speed settings are available to suit specific types of development and operating conditions. MAN offers the know-how for adapting the engine to existing set-ups, supplies the necessary periphery and gives expert advice on installation.
