Auxiliary Engine (Generator Set) · Auxiliary Engines
This is a marine auxiliary engine designed for constant speed operation. It is manufactured by APL Maritime and designated DOOSAN-L27/38-11-02. This engine boasts a power output of 2970 kW at 720 rpm, generated by a 9-cylinder, 4-stroke compression ignition engine with a displacement of 195.8 liters per cylinder. The engine is EPA certified under family BAPMN21.7AUX and adheres to IMO engine category 2 standards. It features direct fuel injection, turbocharging, and is built for auxiliary applications. Common failures can include starting issues, speed instability, poor combustion, lubricating oil system problems, and cooling system faults. To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to carry a comprehensive inventory of spare parts, including filters, injector-related components, seals, gaskets, pump service kits, and starting system parts. Regular maintenance should encompass checks on starting reliability, load acceptance, speed stability, exhaust temperatures, oil pressure, cooling temperatures, and vibration levels. Consult the manufacturer's documentation for specific dimensional, rotational, and operational parameters.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Check starting reliability, load acceptance, speed stability and the engine's ability to carry its assigned electrical or mechanical load. Trend exhaust temperatures, oil pressure, cooling temperatures and abnormal vibration and compare cylinders or operating points for imbalance. Inspect fuel, oil, cooling-water and exhaust systems for leakage and verify filters, coolers, pumps and ventilation are in serviceable condition. For generator sets, verify governor response, load sharing, generator protection, emergency shutdowns and automatic-start functions where fitted. Inspect foundations, flexible mounts or couplings and the interface with the alternator or driven machine. For cylinder dimensions, rotational speed, pressures, clearances, temperatures, wear limits and setting values, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
Keep fuel and lubricating-oil filters, air-filter elements where fitted, injector-related spares, seals and gaskets, pump service kits and starting-system components on board. For generator duties, carry selected governor or speed-control components, sensors, relays and common electrical interface spares according to the installed control system. The final spare inventory should follow manufacturer recommendations, class requirements and the number of redundant generator or auxiliary sets available.
