Propulsion MAN ups the
power The business unit Power Plant at MAN Diesel has announced a substantial increase in the power output of its type 48/60 engine. Te latest 48/60 version from the Augsburg-based
company offers 1200kW per cylinder, compared to 1050kW/cylinder in the existing version and is aimed especially at peak load power generation applications. Te new rating represents an increase of just over 14%,
and will allow an increase in power demand to be covered without starting additional generators and the power plant operator to benefit from higher rates for the power delivered. Te 1200kW/cylinder type 48/60 engine rating has
been extensively tested in a land-based application subject to periodic load peaks. Offered in an inline version with 9 cylinders and ‘V’
configuration versions with 12, 14, and 18-cylinders, the type 48/60 engine now offers an overall mechanical output range of 9450kW to 21,600 kW at 500revs/min or 514revs/min for 50Hz and 60Hz power generation respectively. Te main elements of the 48/60B upgrade was an
increase in engine efficiency, reduced emissions of smoke and NOx, reduced engine width and reduced power house dimensions, as well as improved ease of maintenance and greater simplicity, including a reduced component count and the use of only one turbocharger.
