Manufactured to withstand pulsating pressures and continuous thermal variations, this sleeve upholds correct alignment and minimizes component wear, contributing to stable pressure control throughout engine operation. By protecting the spindle and valve body from abrasion and deformation, the sleeve K 87087 ensures long service life, reliable performance, and precise regulation of critical fuel or lubrication flows in heavy-duty engine applications.
The lock nut K 87093 is a precision-engineered securing component used on spindle K 87088 within the pressure-regulating systems of the Sulzer/Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda ZV40/48 diesel engine. Designed to maintain exact axial positioning under extreme vibration and thermal cycling, this lock nut ensures the stability and reliability of the valve mechanism throughout long operating intervals. By preventing loosening, thread damage, and micro-movement under load, it plays a vital role in safeguarding the accuracy of the regulating assembly, directly supporting consistent engine performance and long-term durability across demanding marine and power-plant environments.
The mounting of the turbocharger-to-turbocharger (tc-tc) system, code P51203-38, involves secure and vibration-resistant installation of critical turbocharging components in the MAN L21/31 engine. This arrangement ensures mechanical stability, optimal alignment, and efficient airflow between turbochargers, which is essential for balanced boost pressure and consistent engine performance. Proper mounting safeguards the longevity and effectiveness of the turbocharging system, especially under high-load, high-speed marine engine conditions.
The exhaust pipe arrangement, code P51202-10, ensures the safe and efficient expulsion of exhaust gases from the MAN L21/31 engine. Designed with optimized flow dynamics, this system reduces back pressure, minimizes heat buildup, and helps control noise and emissions. Its robust and corrosion-resistant design is critical in harsh marine environments, maintaining reliable operation while supporting overall engine performance and compliance with environmental standards.
The charging air cooler, code P51201-21, is a vital component in the MAN L21/31 engine’s turbocharging system, designed to cool compressed air before it enters the engine cylinders. By reducing the temperature of the intake air, the cooler increases its density, allowing more oxygen to enter the combustion chamber. This results in improved combustion efficiency, increased engine power, and reduced thermal stress on engine components, all while contributing to lower emissions and better fuel economy in marine and industrial applications.
The SERTO screwed union coded K 87162 is a precision-engineered connector used to securely join sections of the fuel piping system in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine.
