The 6L28/32S is a marine diesel generator set manufactured by MAN Energy Solutions. This particular model is designed to deliver a power output of 1860 kW at 750 rpm, fueled by Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) or Marine Diesel Oil (MDO). The engine features a six-cylinder configuration with a bore of 280 mm and a stroke of 320 mm, resulting in a swept volume per cylinder of 19.7 dm³. The 6L28/32S operates on a 4-stroke cycle and is turbocharged with an intercooler system to enhance performance. The engine meets IMO Tier II and Tier III emission standards, depending on the variant, and offers dual-fuel options with LNG. Common maintenance issues include fouling of charge air coolers due to oil film deposits and high charge air temperatures, which can affect performance and efficiency. Additionally, exhaust valve erosion from corrosive deposits and main bearing wear over time are typical concerns that require regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure optimal engine longevity and reliability.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
