Large Size Low Speed Four-Stroke Marine Diesel Engine

Abstract

Directly coupled low speed four-stroke diesel engine is one of the most stable and reliable marine engines.
The Hanshin-6LUS58, 6500PS, 6 cylinder high super-charged trunk piston type engine which is included in the above category is a large size with a cylinder bore of 580mm and a particularly long stroke of 1050mm.
It is featured by simple construction and especially a low fuel consumption ratio, minimum value reaching to 142g/PSh, which makes this engine most adapted to the current energy-sating age.
The paper shows the construction, some of the performance, the service experience and two-stage turbocharging of the engine.
