The Wärtsilä 9LW32 Ammonia engine operates on a 4-stroke cycle, utilizing a turbocharged, intercooled, direct fuel injection system. This dual-fuel engine, capable of running on both ammonia and Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), boasts a 9-cylinder, L-shaped configuration with a bore of 320 mm and a stroke of 400 mm, resulting in a displacement per cylinder of 32.2 liters. With a power output of 2790 kW at 750 RPM, the engine delivers a specific power output of 580 kW/cylinder. The cooling system employs a combination of seawater and freshwater, with charge air cooling facilitated by a dedicated cooler. The engine is equipped with Napier 357 turbochargers (with a Wärtsilä turbocharger safety package available) and features 2 inlet and 2 exhaust valves per cylinder. This engine complies with IMO Tier II (MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI) emissions standards.

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.
