Auxiliary Engine (Generator Set) · Auxiliary Engines
Crew and engineers aboard commercial vessels rely on robust propulsion systems to ensure reliable operation and performance at sea. Yanmar’s 6L6EY26-GS-60Hz engine is a prime example of such reliability, delivering a formidable 2160 kW of power at 900 RPM. This medium-speed, six-cylinder diesel engine is designed for heavy-duty applications, utilizing HFO or MDO fuel to meet the demanding needs of commercial maritime operations. The engine’s L-configuration and four-stroke design contribute to its efficiency and durability, with a bore of 260 mm and a stroke of 385 mm. It can generate up to 2052 kW of genset power at 60 Hz, making it suitable for both propulsion and electrical generation on board. Despite its robust build, common issues such as turbocharger wear, cylinder head gasket leaks, injector deterioration, and bearing damage are known, emphasizing the importance of regular maintenance and inspections to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
