Wartsila has introduced a more powerful version for marine applications of its popular Wartsila 32 engine. The latest version is expected to expand that range even further. The upgraded version is available with an increased power output of 580kW per cylinder at 750rpm. This represents a 15% increase in power output over the earlier 32 engine, despite having the same external dimensions. This increased output means that the Wartsila 32 now covers a power range from 3MW to 9.3MW One area where this new power output is of particular interest is in the offshore drillship market. It is felt that in combination with Wartsilas Low Loss Concept, the new engine can offer a powerful yet compact package for diesel electric propulsion.
