Workboat Report the D34 and D49 are VI 2s, while the D65 is a VI6. Output ranges from 440 kW (590 hp) up to 1,380 kW (1,850 hp) at speeds between 1,350 and 2,000 rpm. All engines have been optimized for efficient fuel consumption and gentle emissions through optimum design of the combustion chamber combined with the fuel injection system. To help ensure long life, the engine block is rigid and features main bearings with four bolts. The crankshaft is single piece, internally forged with balance weights. Another interesting feature is that the valves are rotating to extend lifetime and the seats are made of special alloy steel for greater wear resistance.

TR Precision Flame Cutting, Plasma Cutting & Sawing Meticulous Paperwork, SAME DAY SERVICE with a cylinder output of 410 kW and a nominal speed of 1,150 rpm will be available as of April 2001. Presented in Hamburg in conjunction with SMM 2000, the new engine is con- sidered an essential part of a product offensive, which was launched in 1996 with the introduction of the Series 2000 and 4000 engines. Initially, the engines are being touted as appropriate for high-speed ferries, yachts and naval vessels, all current strongholds for the current MTU stable. However, the 8000 concept goes far beyond a 20 cylinder version of these applications. Accordingly, MTU is planning to make available to the market 16V and 12V versions and, due to the flexible engine concept of the 8000 series, in-line engines and heavy-fuel engines, allowing the company the capability to provide a range of products for the large segment of commercial ships. The 8000 features common-rail injec- tion, a technology that was originally Engine control and monitoring unit Lube oil centrifugal^ filter Automatic lube oil filter Fuel filter Lube oil coolers Fresh water pump Raw water pump High-pressure fuel pumps Low-pressure fuel supply pump Oil pump On the new MTU 8000 series, all components are significant in terms of maintenance opera- tion, which are located in a service block on the free end of the engine.
