Water‑Cooling System Benefits 

The closed‑loop water‑cooling circuit maintains coolant at roughly 85 °C at 2200 rpm, giving a thermal resistance of only 0.12 K/W—far better than the ~0.25 K/W typical of comparable air‑cooled units. All piping is 316L stainless steel with cathodic protection, limiting corrosion to < 0.02 mm yr⁻¹ and ensuring a minimum five‑year continuous sea‑service life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question

Answer

Can the engine operate in slow‑steaming mode?

Yes. Electronic throttling can hold rpm at 1200, cutting fuel use by ~4 %.

Delivery lead‑time and warranty?

Standard delivery 4‑6 weeks; warranty 1 year or 1500 h (whichever occurs first) with on‑site support.

Is a dual‑fuel (diesel‑LNG) conversion possible?

The fuel system can be swapped, but a new emission certification is required.

How is marine‑corrosion protected?

316L stainless piping, cathodic protection and anti‑corrosion coating keep corrosion < 0.02 mm yr⁻¹.

Is remote monitoring available?

Optional LoRa‑based vibration‑noise telemetry provides real‑time alerts.
