Brochure - MaK VM 32 C Low Emission Engine

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the VM 32 C Low Emission Engine, focusing on its compliance with IMO II emission regulations and its benefits for marine operations. Caterpillar Motoren has developed the MaK Low Emission Engine (LEE) to reduce NOx emissions while maintaining engine efficiency.

Specifications and Technical Data
The VM 32 C engine features a swept volume of 37.0 l/cyl and an output of 480/500 kW per cylinder. It operates at 720/750 rpm with a mean effective pressure of 21.6 bar. The engine uses a single pipe turbocharging system and offers clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation options.

Emission Reduction Strategies
The MaK LEE concept employs a combination of increased compression ratios and the Miller Cycle to achieve a 30% reduction in NOx emissions. The flexible camshaft technology (FCT) is crucial for optimizing fuel injection and valve timing, enhancing combustion efficiency and reducing soot emissions.

Benefits and Compliance
The MaK LEE engine allows shipping companies to meet future IMO emission regulations, improving their environmental reputation and potentially reducing harbor fees. The engine's design supports obtaining environmental classifications from Marine Classification Societies.

Technological Advancements
Key components modified for IMO II compliance include the turbocharging system, injection system, combustion chambers, and camshaft. The FCT system integrates flexible fuel systems with advanced air systems, maintaining high fuel injection pressure across the operating range.

Performance and Efficiency
The engine achieves specific fuel consumption of 178-179 g/kWh at full power, with NOx emissions at 9 g/kWh. It features a robust turbocharger (ABB TPL65) and efficient cooling and lubrication systems.

Conclusion
The VM 32 C Low Emission Engine represents a sustainable investment for marine operators, offering reduced emissions, compliance with international standards, and operational efficiency. Caterpillar Marine Power Systems continues to innovate in marine engine technology, ensuring reliability and environmental responsibility.

Low Emission Engine already in operation Back in 2000, Caterpillar Motoren identi- fied three emission levels for the MaK marine product in order to cope with short to midterm emission regulations. These were a base line IMO engine, which fulfils MARPOL 73/78, Annex VI, an IMO-compli- ant engine with invisible smoke emissions and a Low Emission Engine (LEE) which meets the expected N0X emission range of IMO II and is also invisible in smoke. In addition, this strategy favours inside- the-engine means because of their clear advantage with respect to cost, complex- to increase the compression ratio...

Flex Cam Technology FCT (schematic diagram) Building upon the Emission Reduction System integration concept, FCT achieves synergy between flexible fuel systems and advanced air systems with maximum utilization of the current engine design. While maintaining high fuel injection pressure over the whole operating range, fuel injection and inlet valve timing are load controlled and influenced by a lever shaft which affects injection timing/ pressure and inlet valve events. Valve timing changes at part load to raise effec- tive compression and enhance complete combustion. In addition, shifting the...
