Product catalog summary
Overview
MAN Diesel & Turbo specializes in large-bore diesel engines and turbomachinery, providing propulsion solutions such as two-stroke and four-stroke engines, turbochargers, propellers, and propulsion packages. Their products are designed for marine and stationary applications, emphasizing high efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
Propeller & Aft Ship Solutions
MAN offers a range of propeller designs, including the MAN Alpha CP (Controllable Pitch) and FP (Fixed Pitch) propellers, tailored to specific ship requirements. These designs focus on maximizing efficiency, reducing fuel consumption, and minimizing emissions.
Controllable Pitch Propellers (CPP)
CPPs are suitable for vessels with varying propulsion demands, providing flexibility and high efficiency. They offer benefits such as fuel savings, reduced emissions, and enhanced comfort by minimizing vibration and noise.
Fixed Pitch Propellers (FPP)
FPPs are ideal for long-haul vessels prioritizing efficiency and simplicity, offering low total cost of ownership and minimal fuel consumption.
Kappel Design
The Kappel propeller design improves efficiency by reducing energy loss and enhancing thrust, inspired by bird wing tips and aircraft winglets.
Efficiency Improving Devices (EIDs)
MAN integrates EIDs like pre-swirl fins and wake equalizing ducts to optimize propeller performance, potentially enhancing propulsion efficiency by up to 12% with Kappel propellers.
Propeller Nozzles
AHT nozzles are designed to boost thrust and pulling performance, offering up to 23.5% more bollard pull compared to standard nozzles.
Environmental Considerations
MAN is committed to reducing environmental impact with leakproof stern tube systems and compliance with the US EPA's Vessel General Permit.
Overview of Alphatronic 3000 Propulsion Control System
The Alphatronic 3000 system provides precise propulsion control, translating maneuvering orders into electrical signals for speed, pitch, or clutch. It is designed for both CP and FP propeller installations and can be customized for various propulsion applications.

Propeller & Aft Ship Solutions  Page 06 | 07 Propelling ships and trade on all seas and waterways From the early days of invention and shipboard deployment of a ‘screw propeller’, the principle of which can be dated back to Archimedes – the propellers have just developed decade by decade and grown in size, power density and design complexity. The propellers’ transmission of rotational power and torque into thrust and ship propulsion turned out more and more efficiently. Today’s propeller demands and propulsion benchmarks for the individual ship applications have become very specific, further...
