100-1800kVA Reliable Cummins Propulsion Engine Marine Use

Product Overview

The 100-1800kVA Cummins Propulsion Engine sets benchmarks for marine power with rugged durability and compliance with international maritime regulations. Powered by Cummins’ KTA38-DM (100-1000kVA) and KTA50-DM (1000-1800kVA) engines—certified to IMO Tier II emissions standards (limiting NOx to 17.0g/kWh)—it achieves ≤90dB(A) noise levels (at engine room) and 239L/h fuel consumption for the 1300HP model at 75% load. Its compact footprint and marine-grade corrosion protection (including sacrificial anodes and saltwater-resistant alloys) ensure reliable operation in harsh saltwater environments.

Features

High Torque Output: Delivers 4,500 N·m torque at 1,800 rpm, providing strong low-speed propulsion for large vessels. This high torque reserve enables quick acceleration and reliable performance in heavy seas or when navigating narrow waterways .

Advanced Cooling System: Offers keel-cooled (utilizing seawater directly) or plate heat exchanger (freshwater loop) options. Keel cooling eliminates the need for raw water pumps and reduces maintenance by 25% compared to freshwater systems .

Remote Monitoring: Cummins Marine Insight system uses IoT sensors to transmit real-time data (engine temperature, oil pressure, fuel flow) to a cloud platform. It predicts component failures (e.g., injector wear, turbocharger issues) up to 90 days in advance, enabling proactive maintenance .

Certifications: Lloyd’s Register (LR) and DNV GL certified for seaworthiness, with optional ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) and BV (Bureau Veritas) approvals for global fleet operations .

Applications

Commercial Shipping: Powers bulk cargo ships, oil tankers, and container vessels, with 100% load acceptance to handle sudden propulsion demands during cargo shifts or maneuvering in ports .

Yacht Propulsion: Ensures quiet operation (≤85dB(A) in passenger cabins) for luxury yachts, with vibration-dampening mounts (rubber isolators) reducing hull-borne noise by 40% for enhanced comfort .

Offshore Support Vessels: Provides auxiliary power for crane operations, drilling equipment, and crew living quarters, with redundant fuel systems and emergency shutdown protocols meeting SOLAS safety standards .

FAQ

Q: What is the typical overhaul interval?

A: Main propulsion engines offer 24,000 hours between overhauls—equivalent to 10 years of operation at 6 hours daily. In-service inspections every 5,000 hours (including oil analysis and bearing checks) extend lifespan by identifying issues early .
