Operating pistons and connecting rod groups, estimated under code P50602-15 010, are critical moving assemblies within the MAN L21/31 engine. The pistons convert combustion energy into mechanical motion, while the connecting rods transfer this force to the crankshaft. High-quality manufacturing and precise assembly of these groups are essential for minimizing wear, maintaining engine balance, and ensuring optimal power output and reliability.
The engine frame, coded approximately P50001-10 001, is the foundational structure of the MAN L21/31 engine. It supports and holds all major engine components in precise alignment, ensuring structural integrity during operation. A robust engine frame reduces vibration and mechanical stress, contributing to the durability and smooth functioning of the engine, especially under heavy-duty conditions.
The gear wheel bearing code K 71030 is a precision-machined component that drives the oil pump in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. Its accurately cut teeth mesh with the mating gear to generate the flow and pressure necessary for engine lubrication. Constructed from hardened, wear-resistant steel, the wheel endures heavy load and high rotational speeds, ensuring reliable oil delivery to critical bearings and seals. Regular inspection of the gear wheel for wear and clearances helps maintain optimal lubrication performance and prevents premature engine wear.
The pressure spring coded K 74135 provides the necessary preload within the fuel transfer pump of the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine, maintaining constant contact between moving parts and compensating for wear over time. Its calibrated tension ensures that valves and seals engage correctly, preserving consistent fuel pressure and preventing pulsation. Made from fatigue-resistant alloy, the spring withstands the high-cycle demands and thermal variations typical of continuous pump operation. Proper spring performance is critical to fuel system efficiency and engine responsiveness.
The support ring with code K 74131 is a key structural element in the fuel transfer pump of the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Positioned between the pump housing and mounting bracket, it ensures precise alignment and absorbs radial and axial loads generated during operation. By keeping the pump assembly firmly centered, this ring minimizes vibration and wear on internal components. Crafted from high-strength, corrosion-resistant material, it guarantees long-term stability and contributes to the smooth, reliable delivery of fuel under demanding marine or industrial conditions.
Oil piping in the MAN L21/31 engine forms the network that transports lubricating oil to various engine parts, including bearings, pistons, and camshafts. This system ensures continuous lubrication under high pressure and temperature, reducing friction and wear. Maintaining the integrity and cleanliness of oil piping is critical to preventing oil leaks, contamination, and ensuring the engine’s smooth and reliable operation.
