The HiMSEN 9LH32/40 is a 4-stroke, turbocharged heavy fuel engine designed with a Miller Cycle, which optimizes efficiency by delaying the intake valve closing to increase the compression ratio and improve thermal efficiency. This engine features a bore of 320 mm and a stroke of 400 mm, producing 4050 kW of power at 720 rpm. It is capable of running on Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) or Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) with a sulfur content up to 700 cSt at 50°C. The engine has a displacement range of 193 to 643 liters per cylinder, depending on the number of cylinders, and operates with a compression ratio of 15:1. Common maintenance issues include turbocharger fouling, exhaust gas temperature imbalances, and piston ring damage, all of which require regular inspection and cleaning to ensure optimal performance.

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.
