Medium speed diesels gain common rail system

摘要

The new injection system developed by MAN B&W Diesel for medium-speed dicsel engines operated on heavy fuel oil has successfully passed all test runs on the Augsburg testbed. Dr Georg Wachtmeister, Head of the Development Division: 'This is a further important milestone in our engine history.' A system is now to be tested at sea onboard a container vessel. MA B&W says that it developed an electronic injection system in the 1970s, and launched it in 1981. Only the refusal within the shipping industry of that time to use electronic components slowed down the project.
