This equipment category includes large marine generators. The HiMSEN 8LH21/32-GS-50Hz is a powerful option within this class, designed for reliable operation in various maritime applications. With an output of 1600 kW and a stroke of 320 mm on an 8-cylinder layout, it operates at 750 rpm using heavy fuel oil or marine diesel oil. This model, part of the H21/32-GS family, is Tier II and Tier III compliant with SCR for emission control. Known for its robustness, it has been in service since 2001, with over 5,000 engines delivered by 2011. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent common issues such as piston cooling nozzle blockages, crankcase oil mist build-up, exhaust valve seat erosion, and fuel injection nozzle coking.

Free of charge — send us your request for HiMSEN equipment. Our team checks it and replies by e-mail.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we can check availability and prices faster; without them we may have to ask first, which can cost a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
