New MAN Engines for Ultra-Large Vessels

Written by Blogeri Adriadiesel

MAN Diesel & Turbo has added three new engines to its programme of ultra-large engines, intended for, among other types of vessels, ultra-large container vessels (ULCVs) and feeder vessels. The engines are of optimized weight, in comparison to their Mk 9 siblings, and represent a new design for the Mk 10 platform of the portfolio. The key feature of the new platform is the development of the top controlled exhaust valve and the booster valve (the fuel booster injection valve component). The new units are: MAN type B & W G90ME-C10, 6,240 kW per cylinder; MAN type B & W S60ME-C10, 2,490 kW per cylinder; MAN type B & W S70ME-C10, 3,430 kW per cylinder. This is the first time that the fuel booster injection valve has been used for such a purpose. It was a pilot project installed on a container ship only six months before it was placed on the market.

Crankshaft Made from Diesel Engine

Written by Blogeri Adriadiesel

A diesel engine with 10 cylinders and 100,000 horsepower has recently been installed in a locomotive Considering that in America 99% of locomotives are diesel-electric hybrids, the 'GE Evolution Series' locomotive holds about 5,000 gallons of diesel. The effectiveness of fuel for trains is measured in tonne-miles, and the length of trains produces different results. For instance, in 2009, CSX trains have reached an average of 468 miles per gallon per tonne, which means that trains can travel anywhere, from 6,000 to 16,000 tonnes. The locomotive, which is currently in operation, shows promising results.

Diesel Fuel Prices Going Up in 2017

Written by Blogeri Adriadiesel

"We were blessed with low diesel prices in the last few years, but we will aim for higher prices next year," said Phil Flynn, analyst at Price Futures Group Chicago (PFGC).
