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.
