Rating information: all outputs mentioned in kW, valid up to 45˚C without derating. Compression ratio related to engine application.

Application
Auxiliary Generator: Continuous duty under variable load conditions; 10% overload is available for max. 1hr. per every 12 running hours.
Diesel Electric continuous: Continuous duty under variable load conditions; 10% overload is available for max. 25hrs. per year on emergency basis.
Diesel Electric intermittent: Average load factor is 60 - 80%: operating hours: 3000-4000hrs per year; 10% overload is available for max. 25hrs. per year on emergency basis.
Medium Duty: Rating is intended for variable load applications during an unlimited time of annual operating hours such as work boats, passenger vessels and ferry boats.
Heavy Duty: Rating is intended for 24hrs. running applications without load changing such as cargo vessels and fishing boats having little load cycling.
Harbour Tugboat: Rating is intended for 100% load applications and available 8hrs. out of 24hrs. such as Harbour Tugboats.

The MITSUBISHI SU type engines are 4 stroke diesel engines with direct fuel injection and 4 valves per cylinder. The combination of MITSUBISHI’S own designed
turbochargers, highly efficient charge air coolers and high pressure fuel injection system, guarantees a perfect combustion, resulting in a low fuel consumption and excellent
follow up characteristics on load changings. The engine block and the hanger type main bearing supports have a very rigid design, the camshaft lies high in the engine block.
Wide inspection doors make inspection and maintenance of main bearings, crankshaft, camshaft and tappets very easy.
