Fuel filters in the MAN L21/31 engine protect the fuel injection system from contaminants and impurities. By filtering particles and water from the fuel, they maintain clean fuel flow, prevent injector clogging, and ensure optimal combustion. Regular replacement of fuel filters is critical to maintaining engine performance and avoiding costly repairs.
The cylinder head in the MAN L21/31 engine seals the top of the cylinders and houses key components such as valves, fuel injectors, and the combustion chamber. It is vital for engine efficiency and durability, ensuring proper compression and sealing under high combustion pressures. Precision manufacturing and robust materials are essential for its performance and lifespan.
The turbocharger in the MAN L21/31 engine plays a crucial role in boosting engine performance by forcing additional air into the combustion chamber. This increases power output and fuel efficiency while reducing harmful emissions. Designed to operate under extreme heat and high speeds, the turbocharger must be precisely manufactured and regularly maintained to ensure long-lasting and reliable engine operation.
The joint ring bearing code number K 81259 is a sealing element designed for use with the screw plug K 81258 in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Its primary function is to provide a leak-proof seal between the plug and the housing, ensuring that fluids such as oil or coolant remain contained under pressure. Manufactured from resilient and heat-resistant material, the joint ring is essential for maintaining the engine's operational integrity and avoiding performance issues caused by leaks or pressure loss.
The support identified by code number K 81170 is an essential structural component used in the installation and stabilization of exhaust piping in the ZV40/48 engine. It ensures that the exhaust system is securely mounted and properly aligned to withstand thermal expansion, vibration, and operational stress. By providing a stable base, the erection support prevents displacement or misalignment of the exhaust components, contributing to a more durable and noise-reduced exhaust configuration.
The guide bolt marked with code number K 81162 is a precision-machined component that plays a vital role in securing and aligning the guide element within the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. Its purpose is to ensure that moving parts stay correctly positioned during engine operation, which is crucial for smooth and efficient motion transmission. Designed to endure high mechanical loads, this bolt minimizes wear and helps maintain the geometry of critical engine assemblies, thereby enhancing overall performance and reliability.
