The lubricating oil cooler in the MAN L21/31 engine is a critical component responsible for regulating the temperature of the engine’s lubricating oil. By efficiently removing excess heat from the oil, it helps maintain optimal viscosity and lubrication properties, preventing overheating and reducing wear on moving parts. Proper functioning of the oil cooler is essential for prolonging engine life and ensuring consistent, reliable performance.
The thrust ring, code number K 32386, is specifically designed to support axial loads generated by the worm gear K 32323 in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. Positioned to absorb and distribute force along the shaft, the thrust ring ensures smooth gear engagement and minimizes wear. Precision-engineered for fit and strength, it enhances the performance and reliability of the worm gear assembly, preventing misalignment and prolonging service life in high-load operational conditions.
The spring identified by code number K 32373 is a small yet essential component paired with the arrestor pin K 32356. Its role is to provide the necessary force to engage or disengage the arrestor mechanism within the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. This ensures precise locking or release of mechanical elements during operation or maintenance. Made from resilient material, the spring maintains consistent performance under repetitive stress and thermal variation, supporting the safe functioning of the engine’s internal systems.
The raw water pump, with code number K 73100, plays a critical role in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine’s cooling system. Its primary function is to circulate seawater or another external water source through the engine's heat exchangers, preventing overheating during operation. Built for durability and corrosion resistance, this pump handles high flow rates and harsh marine environments. Its efficient performance ensures stable engine temperatures, contributing significantly to the reliability and longevity of the engine under continuous load.
The indicator valve, identified by code H 27750, is an essential diagnostic component used in the ASL25 diesel engine to monitor cylinder pressure during operation. By allowing temporary connection to pressure gauges, it provides critical insight into combustion performance and engine health. Built to endure high pressure and thermal cycles, the valve ensures safe and reliable readings. This makes it an invaluable tool for maintenance teams aiming to optimize performance, detect issues early, and extend engine life.
The oil scraper marked as H 34028 plays a vital role in controlling oil distribution within the ASL25 engine. This component ensures that excess lubricating oil is removed from the cylinder walls during piston movement, preventing oil buildup and minimizing consumption. Its precision design helps maintain optimal lubrication, reduces emissions, and protects engine parts from unnecessary wear. Regular inspection and replacement of the oil scraper are essential to maintaining engine efficiency and complying with environmental standards.
