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.
