Background

Die 7G40ME-C ist die 7-Zylinder Ultra-Long-Stroke-Variante der kleinsten ME-C-Klasse. 7 Zylinder bieten den besten Massenausgleich aller gängigen Zylinderzahlen — praktisch vibrationsfrei. Für kleine Frachtschiffe mit Anspruch an Laufruhe.

  • ME Timing: EICU 7-Zyl
Laufzeug & Tribologie
  • Ratio 4.65: Hohe Seitenkräfte — Guide-Shoes prüfen, alle 7
  • Laufbuchsen: Verschleiß, Cold Corrosion
  • Kolbenringe: Spiel
  • Zylinderöl: BN und Feed-Rate, alle 7 individuell
Steuerung & Hydraulik
  • 7 HCUs: Servöldruck gleichmäßig
  • EICU: 7-Zyl-Konfiguration
  • Hydrauliköl: Partikelzählung
Abgassystem
  • TC (1x): Reinigung, Lager
  • Abgaskessel
  • Spülluft-Receiver: Bei 7 Zyl längerer Receiver

Common Failure Modes

  • Cat-Fine-Schäden

    Symptoms: Liner-/Injektor-Verschleiß

    Causes: Cat-Fines

    Preventive: Fuel-Analyse; Separator

  • Zylinderbalance bei 7 Zylindern

    Symptoms: Temperatur-Spreizung

    Causes: Ungleicher Injektor-Verschleiß

    Preventive: Performance-Monitoring; satzweiser Tausch

  • Cold Corrosion

    Symptoms: Liner-Verschleiß

    Causes: BN niedrig

    Preventive: BN anpassen; Jacket >80 °C

Expert tips

  • 7 Zylinder bieten den besten Massenausgleich — Schwingungstilger ist bei dieser Konfiguration meist nicht nötig.
  • Bei 7 Zylindern hat ein Einzelzylinder-Ausfall nur ~14% Leistungsverlust — bessere Redundanz als bei 5 oder 6 Zylindern.
  • 7G40: Kompakter Motor mit vielen Zylindern — Wartungszugang zu den mittleren Zylindern (4, 5) kann eng sein.

Request a quote for this model.

Free of charge — we forward your request to qualified suppliers for MAN Energy Solutions equipment from our network of over 114,000 maritime companies.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we usually come back with prices; without them we have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.

Your contact details are not published. No account required.
