Summary
With the new engine series 2000, very compact engines with a power range from 900kW to 1800kw which take into account the specific requirements of their field of application were developed for marine propulsion systems. The engine´s development process was accompanied by a detailed analytical description of the engine work cycle whereas the entire marine propulsion system was analytically described in the same way during the project planning phase using a simulation model. A basis was thus created for adapting the engine work cycle to the specific requirements of a marine propulsion system. For verification of the simulation, extensive measurements were taken on a field-test engine.
