Auxiliary Engine (Generator Set) · Auxiliary Engines
This diesel engine operates on a 4-stroke direct injection design, featuring turbocharging and intercooling to optimize performance. The Wärtsilä 6LW22-GS-60Hz, with a bore of 220 mm and a stroke of 320 mm, delivers a power output of 840 kW at 900 rpm. It is designed to run on heavy fuel oil (HFO), light fuel oil (LFO), and marine diesel oil (MDO), and is suitable for applications requiring a 60 Hz frequency. The engine's specific fuel consumption is 187 g/kWh at full load with HFO and 185 g/kWh at 85% load. Common maintenance issues include wear in the injection pump plungers, connecting rod bearings, cylinder liner wear and cracks, turbocharger wear, and fuel injection pump sleeve wear. Regular inspections and timely replacements are crucial to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
