MAN Receives Type Approval for Uprated Dual-Fuel Engine
MAN Diesel & Turbo SE (MAN) today announced that its uprated dual-fuel marine engine, MAN L51/60DF, has received type approval after the company hosted a test programme of a nine-cylinder version of the engine, which ran on fuel oil (DMA) and natural gas.
MAN notes that the engine can be used as both a marine main-engine or auxiliary engine.
"The MAN L51/60DF, with its improved rated-output and new features such as gas-start capability, is a welcome addition to the ranks with the flexibility to act in a main or auxiliary capacity," said Lex Nijsen, Head of Four-Stroke Marine at MAN.
"Whether operating on fuel oil or gas, I'm certain its efficiency and high power output will be appreciated by the market."
Earlier this month, the German marine engineering company said it will take €2 million ($2.3 million) off the cost of converting an engine from running on heavy fuel oil to one capable of running on liquefied natural gas (LNG).
