mtu Series 8000​

Power Unit​

Power Units are functional entities comprising all components of a cylinder. They are secured to the crankcase by four studs each. 

Benefits: High ignition pressures possible. Optimized for: Low fuel consumption. Easy to service as complete unit can be replaced (on board).

Starting (air) system​

The starting sequence of the air starter is initiated by engaging the starter pinion in the starter ring gear and subsequently cranking the crankshaft. 

Benefits:  No permanent prelubrication is required. Automatic starting sequence with included slow turning sequence to detect hydrolock.  

Lubrication oil system​

The lube oil system on the engine includes an attached lube oil pump, a lube oil cooler and a lube oil duplex filter, with oil priming before engine start. Automatic oil replenishment and a deep oil pan are available for high inclinations. 

Benefits:  Low Lube oil consumption: 0,25 % of fuel consumption. Low heat radiation at full load @ 120 kW (impact on HVAC design). Reduced maintenance.

Fuel system​

The Common Rail fuel injection system features electronically activated injectors, double-walled HP lines, leakage monitoring for the HP pump and is HVO approved. 

Benefits:   Optimized fuel consumption. Significant reduction of black smoke and noise emission especially at low engine speeds. Leakage monitoring.

Cooling system​

The split cooling system consists of a sea water (raw) system and an engine coolant system, with coolant preheating prior to start and an engine-mounted raw water and coolant pump. 

Benefits:  No corrosion. Gearbox can be cooled. Low engine heat dissipation.

Charge air and exhaust system​

The system incorporates electronically controlled sequential turbocharging, crankcase ventilation via air intake, controlled condensate draining and an intake air silencer. 

Benefits:  High cylinder output due to high charge-air pressures. High engine torque at low speeds. Improved acceleration behavior.

Mounting system​

There are different mounting types available (standard & shock) for the reduction of vibration and noise. 

Great know-how and experience in vibration analysis and mounting system design. Customized solutions for high acoustic demands and shock requirements.

Power transmission​

In the realm of power transmission, there are different coupling types available, including an engine-mounted steel spring coupling for dampening torsional vibration and an additional misalignment coupling, often tailored to project requirements. 

Benefits:   Know-how and experience in Analytic. High misalignment capability couplings for shock application. Lightweight and compact design.

Engine control system​

The engine management system comprises the following components and is installed and protected by an impact protection plate on engine free end (KGS): Interface module EIM. Engine Control Unit ECU. Engine Monitoring Unit EMU. 

Engine monitoring and protection. Governor components are designed and manufactured in Rolls-Royce in Germany. Obsolescence management & decades of support.
