Designed for robust performance and reliability in marine applications, the HiMSEN 8LH35/40-GS-60Hz engine features an L-shaped configuration with eight cylinders. This medium-speed diesel engine operates at a rated speed of 900 rpm and delivers a substantial power output of 4080 kW. It is capable of running on both heavy fuel oil (HFO) and marine diesel oil (MDO), making it versatile for various operational conditions. The engine's bore and stroke dimensions are 350 mm and 400 mm, respectively, contributing to its high efficiency and power density. With a mean effective pressure of 23.1 bar at 720 rpm, the 8LH35/40-GS-60Hz is optimized for reliable performance over extended periods. The engine’s genset capabilities are equally impressive, providing 3876 kW and 4845 kVA at a frequency of 60 Hz. Common maintenance issues include excessive valve clearance, fuel injector nozzle carbon deposits, cylinder liner scuffing, crankshaft bearing wear, and cylinder cover gasket leakage. Regular inspections and adherence to the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines are essential for ensuring optimal performance and longevity. HiMSEN has established itself as a market leader in medium-speed marine diesel engines, with over 10,000 units delivered to 43 countries.

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.
