6LH54DF-2

The HiMSEN 6LH54DF-2 is a medium‑speed, 4‑stroke trunk piston main engine delivering 6 360 kW at 500 rpm, capable of running on LNG or HFO (dual‑fuel). Its low rpm allows direct propeller drive without reduction gearing; source-listed power 6360.0 kW. The supplied category identifies it as Main Engine (4-Stroke Trunk Piston), and it is normally installed in the main engine room as a propulsion prime mover connected directly or through reduction gearing to the propeller or propulsion system. In that role, its primary purpose is to convert fuel energy into mechanical propulsion power using a trunk-piston four-stroke cycle. Compared with a two-stroke crosshead engine, a four-stroke trunk-piston engine combines piston and connecting-rod motion directly at the crankshaft and typically operates at higher rotational speed. Within the supplied list, this entry is distinguished from neighbouring variants by its model designation and the explicitly listed power; no further model-specific difference is stated in the source. No additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

Fuel-injection faults cause smoke, cylinder imbalance, hard starting or abnormal exhaust temperature
Lubrication or bearing deterioration causes low oil pressure, metal debris, rising temperature or abnormal noise
Cooling-system fouling or leakage causes high jacket-water temperature and reduced thermal margin
Turbocharger, charge-air cooler or intake fouling causes low air supply, smoke and high exhaust temperature
Valve-train, valve-seat or timing faults cause compression loss, poor combustion or mechanical noise

Service & Maintenance

Trend oil pressure, coolant temperature, exhaust temperatures, load balance, vibration and crankcase condition. Inspect fuel equipment, filters, coolers, valves, turbocharger, mounts and safety shutdowns according to the maintenance plan. Investigate persistent cylinder imbalance, oil debris or coolant leakage promptly. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for valve, bearing, injection and wear limits.
