INTRODUCING THE NEW
WARTSILA VASA 20 AUXILIARY ENGINE
Designed for low cost
The new production technology has permitted minimizing the number
of engine parts by maximizing component integration. This contributes
to reduced maintenance and high reliability. The Vasa 20 is also de-
signed for easy access to all parts of the engine that require service.
It all adds up to low cost, reliability and good overall economy.
Designed for easy installation
The very rigid engine block of the Vasa 20 allows standard use of four-
point support. Other features ensuring easy and secure installation
include adjustable feet arrangement, small overall dimensions, a mini-
mum number of external connections, a plug-in system for connection
to the external control and monitoring systems. The engine also
features two cost-efficient options for resilient mounting.

Optimized for low fuel consumption
High firing pressures combined with optimal cylinder dimensions and
state-of-the-art engine components guarantee quick load response and
good performance over the whole load range - and with remarkably
low fuel consumption.
Based on the Wartsila Diesel heavy fuel technology
The heavy fuel technology featured in the Wartsila Vasa 20 is based on
Wartsila Diesel's thorough understanding of oil chemistry and on the
company's vast heavy fuel experience which has been compiled over
the years into an efficient know-how base.
The Vasa 20 has been designed to operate on the lowest grade fuel
types available. It operates on the very same fuel as the ship's main
engine. Numerous feasibility studies prove this to be the most eco-
nomical means of generating electricity onboard.
