Brochure - MaK VM 43 C Low Emission Engine

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the VM 43 C Low Emission Engine, focusing on its compliance with IMO II emission standards and the integration of the MaK Low Emission Engine (LEE) concept. The engine aims to reduce NOx emissions while maintaining efficiency and performance.

Specifications and Technology
The VM 43 C engine utilizes a combination of increased compression ratios and the Miller effect to achieve a 30% reduction in NOx emissions. The engine's design includes a flexible camshaft technology (FCT) that optimizes fuel injection and valve timing to reduce emissions and improve load pick-up.

Emission Standards and Compliance
The engine is designed to meet IMO II emission requirements, which become effective from January 1, 2011. The modifications include new turbo specifications, injection nozzles, plunger designs, and camshaft segments. These changes are retrofittable between IMO I and IMO II standards.

Performance and Benefits
The MaK LEE concept offers a win-win situation for operators and the environment by providing engines that comply with future emission regulations. This compliance can enhance the reputation of shipping companies and potentially reduce harbor fees due to environmental class certifications.

Technical Data
The document provides detailed technical data for the VM 43 C engine, including power output, speed, mean effective pressure, specific fuel consumption, and NOx emissions. The engine is available in 12 and 16-cylinder configurations, with power outputs ranging from 10,800 to 16,000 kW.

Conclusion
The VM 43 C Low Emission Engine represents a significant advancement in marine engine technology, aligning with global emission standards while maintaining high performance and efficiency. Caterpillar Marine Power Systems supports this with a robust global sales and service network.

Engines 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 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 of the base engine. Ten years ago, a compres-...

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 effective compression...
