Auxiliary Engine (Generator Set) · Auxiliary Engines
This marine engine employs a robust 4-stroke long-stroke design, featuring direct injection and turbocharging, making it part of the MaK 8LM32C-GS-50Hz series. With a bore of 320 mm and a stroke of 480 mm, this 8-cylinder engine operates at 750 rpm and delivers a power output of 3760 kW. Designed to run on heavy fuel oil (HFO), marine diesel oil (MDO), and ultra-low sulphur fuel, it meets IMO Tier II emissions standards. The engine is part of the M32C family, introduced in 1994, and has been in continuous production since then, with over 1600 units installed in propulsion and generator set configurations. Common maintenance concerns include monitoring SFOC specifications, managing fuel quality, and checking for turbocharger wear, as well as monitoring the crankshaft bearing condition to prevent excessive wear. Additionally, the cooling system requires regular attention to prevent marine corrosion when using seawater for cooling.
