Product catalog summary
Overview: The BUKH DV24RME is a marine diesel engine specifically designed for lifeboats, offering 24 horsepower for reliable and safe operation. It is engineered as a genuine marine engine, not a modified industrial engine, ensuring ease of service and minimal vibration and noise.
Specifications: The engine features a reverse-reduction gear with a 3:1 or optional 2.5:1 ratio, two cylinders with a bore and stroke of 85x85 mm, and a swept volume of 964 cm3. It operates on a 4-stroke cycle with keel-cooling as the standard cooling system. The engine's maximum continuous rating is 24 HP at 3600 rpm, with fuel consumption at full load being 5.8 l/h.
Features: The DV24RME includes an automatic fuel control system, an open flywheel for various SOLAS-approved starting systems, and a range of standard equipment such as a wet sump lubrication system, electric start, charging alternator, and an operating remote panel with warning lights and audible alerts.
Options: Optional features include an instrument panel with gauges, a spray pump for fire-protected lifeboats, a battery switch, remote control, and various starting systems combining electric, hand, spring, and hydraulic starts.
Performance: The engine's torque, rating, and fuel consumption curves indicate its efficiency across different RPMs, with continuous and intermittent ratings provided. The engine is SOLAS approved by Det Norske Veritas, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
Additional Information: The engine's net weight is 223 kg, and it includes a 12V electric starter motor and a 14V, 50 Amp charging alternator. The document notes that specifications are subject to change as BUKH continues to improve its engines.

DV 24 RME-1

24 effective and disciplined horse powers guarantee safe and troublefree sailing. The DV24RME is designed and constructed as a genuine marine engine - it is not a "marinized” industrial engine. Through a simple design the service of the engine is carried out very easily. A Bukh does not vibrate due to a well-balanced system of rotating counterweights in the engine neutralizing all vibrations. It does not rattle because minimal tolerances in all moving parts ensure the lowest possible noise level in bearings, gearwheels, pistons and connecting rods. A Bukh RME engine has automatic fuel control which guarantees that the engine only gets the amount of fuel which the immediate load requires. Due to an open flywheel we are able to offer a great variety of different SOLAS approved starting systems which is not an option with other diesel engines. We can combine hand start, hydraulic start and spring start with traditional electric start. Standard Equipment: • Reverse-reduction gear • Wet sump lubrication system • Pre and main (full flow) filter • Keel-cooling with thermostat • Air inlet filter • Fuel lift pump • Electric start • Charging alternator with double diode • Operating remote panel with - Charging light - Luboil pressure warning light - Cooling water temperature warning light - Push button for start and stop - Audible warning • Fittings for remote control • Zinc anode protection • Drain pump for luboil • Dry exhaust fitting • Up-side-down valve • Standard set of tools • Operating manual • Watercooled exhaust manifold • Fittings for keel cooling • Decompression lever • Centrifugal governor Options: • Instrument panel with gauges - Tachometer - Temperature - Oil pressure • Spraypump for fireprotected lifeboats that can stand dry-running • Battery switch • Remote control • 3 blade propeller • Propeller shaft • Sterntube • Front sealing arrangement for sterntube • Rear sterntube bearing • Propeller shaft coupling • 6 different SOLAS approved starting systems - Electric start with two independent starting batteries - Electric start with two starter motors and two independent starting batteries - Electric start and hand start with one battery - Electric start and spring start with one battery - Electric start and hydraulic start - Hand start and hydraulic start
