M 32 C Powerful, Reliable and Economical

The acceptance of the M 32 C long-stroke engine series in the marine industry is a success story whose equal is hard to find in this power class. Since its introduction in 1994, more than 1300 engines have been sold. 80% of those commissioned are marine propulsion engines and 20% are in electrical generator sets. The M 32 C series is a genuine heavy fuel engine and 75% of all engines commissioned burn the economical heavy fuel oil. The M 32 C long-stroke series, with a bore of 320 mm, has continued the market success of its predecessor in this bore size, the M 453 C. Decisive factors in its development have been the requirements for maximum benefit to the customer, i.e. economy and operational reliability. Environmental aspects however have also been important. Operational results have fully confirmed the design objectives. Further development, which led to the M 32 C version with 500 kW, has provided even more benefits to the customer.

M 32 C On-Board Electricity
M 32 C as a generator drive The M 32 C was introduced in 1994 in 6, 8 and 9 cylinder versions and is outstandingly suitable as generator prime mover for electric power on ships. The robust design and moderate speed permits unlimited, continuous operation with heavy fuel oil. In-line engines complete with generators are mounted on a common base frame. Engine and electrics are tested prior to delivery. This ensures trouble-free installation and commissioning. Economical operation with diesel-electric propulsion Our engineers have extensive experience in the design of diesel-electric installations. This includes both pod propulsion systems and propulsion by fixed-pitch propellers driven by electric motors. The combination of up-to-date engine technology at the primary end of the propulsion train, and up-to-date dieselelectric technology at the secondary end, ensures low operation costs and better space utilization, which in turn means improved economy overall.

VM 32 C Compact and Powerful!

The M 32 C V-engine was introduced in 2000 in 12- and 16-cylinder versions. With a bore of 320 mm and a stroke of 420 mm, it covers a power range of 5,760 8,000 kW in the 720 and 750 rpm ranges. The engine is designed to meet not only the demands of the marine market but also those of the stationary electric power generation and petroleum industry markets. The consistent application of MaK longstroke engine design and development, along with the incorporation of as many in-line engine components as possible, is clearly and impressively demonstrated in the external configuration: a compact, simple and clean design. The modular construction of the engine, the integration of various functions into a single component, the robust design and the utilization of already proven, in-line engine components, form the basis for the wide availability range of this engine. Reliable heavy fuel oil operation, low fuel and lubricating oil consumption, together with easy maintenance and long maintenance intervals, mean outstanding economical operation.

M 32 C Emission Reduction Technology

Flex Cam Technology (FCT) has been developed and put into production. The next milestone in emissions technology is a fully flexible fuel system suitable for DO, MDO and HFO, called the Caterpillar Common Rail (CCR) fuel system. Caterpillar Common Rail is considered the major building block towards low emissions, high performance and highest customer value. Caterpillar has chosen inside the engine measures as the technology with the highest customer value. In combination with the long-stroke concept and high performance air systems the Caterpillar Common Rail (CCR) fuel system is the most effective technology to meet emission regulations and customer expectations With Caterpillar Common Rail, the injection pressure is independent from load and speed. Utilizing injection maps the injection characteristics are optimized for every engine operating point. As a result, NOx and soot emissions are reduced with the amount of reduction dependent on the actual engine operating condition. For areas that are especially emissionssensitive, soot emissions at low engine load remain well below the visibility limit. Furthermore, during normal load operation NOx emissions can be reduced without sacrificing fuel consumption. In general, the Caterpillar Common Rail fuel system enables vessel operation without visible soot throughout the whole operating range. Key criteria are: Compliance with current and future required emission limits for the respective power ranges. Customer expectations in terms of engine performance, maintenance practices, fuel quality and mode of operation. By adopting well proven elements of this technology for medium-speed engines, it is our goal to meet and exceed customer expectations by maximizing product value through: Superior reliability in heavy fuel operation. Best fuel efficiency in its class. Lowest engine emissions with minimum additional complexity.
