Marine engineers and operators rely on reliable and powerful engines to ensure the smooth operation of their vessels. HiMSEN's 9LH32/40-GS-60Hz is a robust marine engine designed to deliver a continuous output of 3960 kW at 900 rpm. This engine is fueled by Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) or Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) and is configured in a 4-stroke, turbocharged, and Miller Cycle setup, making it suitable for heavy-duty marine applications. The engine's displacement ranges from 193 to 643 liters, depending on the number of cylinders, and it features a compression ratio of 15:1. The engine's specific fuel oil consumption is 179 g/kWh at 720 rpm and 181 g/kWh at 750 rpm, with a mean effective pressure of 25.9/24.9 bar at the same speeds. Common maintenance issues include turbocharger fouling, exhaust gas temperature imbalance, piston ring damage, cylinder liner scuffing, and fuel injection nozzle coking, all of which require regular inspection and maintenance to ensure optimal performance.

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.
