A diesel engine is one of the most powerful machines today, that drives cars, moves construction machines and even sails a boat. With more efficiency, better power, higher resistance and ample torque diesel engines have revolutionaries in the marine industry.
Today, diesel engines are available in various power ranges and sizes. But when we talk about compact, lightweight and durable engines, nothing compares to MVDE.
Boat enthusiasts, fishermen, and boat manufacturers can gain a deep insight into MVDE marine diesel engines through this blog post.
In this blog post, we will be covering some insights from the history of the application of marine diesel engines, the benefits of our marine diesel engines and how we pioneer the legacy of innovation through modern engineering.
The History of Marine Diesel Engine
A four-stroke, two-cylinder, 16.6-litre engine developing 19 kW of power was installed in the 38-meter Canal Ship ‘Petit Pierre’, which also boasted a variable pitch propeller.
This was the first-ever diesel engine attached to a boat and generated mechanical force to push it forward on its journey. An achievement like this sounds quite normal in the world of Artificial Intelligence, but it was a breakthrough for the whole of mankind in the year 1904.
Since then diesel engines have changed the way the world achieves its power needs.
Things to consider
Since history, diesel engines have been successful at moving things forward. But, when we talk about using a marine diesel engine there are some key statements to consider:
Engine Cycle
A diesel engine is designed in two variants – Two Stroke and Four Stroke. Both cycles have their own advantages making them ideal for different applications.
A simpler design of the two-stroke marine diesel engine allows them to generate higher power in less time. This makes them a reliable choice for smaller boats that want to travel faster to their destination. For Eg: Patrol boats.
Whereas a four-stroke marine diesel engine generates power after completing the piston cycle twice. This phenomenon allows us to source complete power from every drop of fuel and it also maintains a stable operating temperature for a longer cycle of manoeuvring.
However, there are some advantages that are always engineered with an MVDE marine diesel engine.
Advantages of MVDE Marine Diesel Engine
Compact Size
If you have ever had a horse ride in your childhood, you know how much power it holds and it’s just one single horse or two horses at most, pulling a cart. Now, imagine 50 such powerful horses and store their power in a 2ft cube.
This is exactly what our engineers do every single day. They engineer the most powerful machine in the most compact shape so that boats can ride on horses even in water.
Better Torque
According to the law of acceleration, the more massive the object is, the more force is needed to accelerate it. In that sense, torque, the mechanism of force used by a diesel engine to move a piston becomes vitally important in water, where there is less friction.
With the better torque of MVDE marine diesel engines, boats can manoeuvre through the inertia caused by tight spaces
Peak Performance
There are three parameters based on which the performance of a marine diesel engine can be defined – fuel efficiency, power output and reliability.
An MVDE off-highway marine diesel engine is designed with an advanced fuel injection and lubrication system, optimising fuel efficiency and reducing counterpart friction. A power output of up to 36.8 kw (varies on the selected engine model) supplies sufficient power. The durability of engineering makes it reliable against every tough tide of the sea.
Less Maintenance
Maintenance is one of the key factors for a marine diesel engine. Its process and efficiency decide the life and performance of a diesel engine. With MVDE marine diesel engine we reduce the maintenance process and time by designing it to stand sturdy before and after operational challenges.
By reducing the maintenance time, we allow users to focus on the other important details of the operation and transcend our manufacturing effectiveness to theirs.
MVDE for all your needs
As a globally recognised off-highway diesel engine manufacturer we feel valued to design different engines for different power and application needs. For marine applications, we have designed an off-highway diesel engine range comprising the MVL2E, MVL3E, MVS3L2, MVS4L2 and MVS4L2-T.
With versatility of application, these engines are ready to power fishing boats, high-speed pleasure craft boats, ferries and marine diesel engine generators. At MVDE, we understand the dynamic and rising power needs of rapidly growing industries. By composing efficient, durable, compact and reliable off-highway diesel engines known for their quality across the globe, we rightfully make a contribution to progress that moves the world forward.
