The O-ring K 74150 is a precision sealing element designed for the casing of the fuel transfer pump K 74102 in the ZV40/48 engine. Manufactured from high-grade elastomer resistant to fuel, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress, it ensures a tight, leak-free interface between pump casing components. By preventing fuel seepage and protecting the interior from contamination, K 74150 safeguards pump efficiency, extends service life, and supports consistent fuel delivery. Its small size belies its importance, as this O-ring plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity and safety of the entire fuel transfer system.

K 81100 – Exhaust Piping, Complete

Written by

The complete exhaust piping K 81100 is a critical subsystem of the Sulzer/Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda ZV40/48 engine, responsible for safely channeling high-temperature exhaust gases away from the cylinders and out of the engine room. Engineered to withstand extreme thermal loads, vibration, and corrosive exhaust compounds, this assembly ensures efficient gas flow with minimal backpressure. Its robust construction supports long-term reliability, while precise alignment and smooth internal surfaces help optimize engine performance and reduce emissions. As a major structural and functional component, K 81100 contributes significantly to the engine’s overall operational stability and environmental compliance.

Tihe fresh water preheater, code P51635-14, is an essential thermal-management component in the MAN L21/31 engine, designed to warm the coolant before startup or during low-temperature operation. By raising the temperature of the fresh water circulating through the engine block, the preheater helps reduce cold-start wear, improves combustion efficiency, and enables smoother, faster engine start-up. Particularly valuable in cold climates and marine environments, this preheating system enhances operational readiness and contributes to overall engine longevity.

The lubricating oil cooler, code P51506-22, plays a crucial role in maintaining the thermal stability of the MAN L21/31 engine by reducing the temperature of circulating lubrication oil. Using an efficient heat-exchange design, it protects the oil from overheating, preserves optimal viscosity, and ensures consistent lubrication performance even under heavy loads. This component helps safeguard bearings and internal surfaces from thermal stress, contributing to longer service life and enhanced performance in marine propulsion and auxiliary power systems.
