MTU Diesel Engines provide reliable solutions for all of your marine needs

The MTU Series 2000 is a market-leading engine series for the high-speed ferry market. The engines are light, compact and well suited for small engine rooms. The mtu 2000 Series offers low fuel consumption over the entire performance range. The mtu Series 2000 common rail engines are rated for fast-moving vessels with high load factors and intermittent load factors. Due to their compact and powerful design, duty engines are particularly suited for high-speed ferries, SAR, patrol vessels, windmill service and CTV vessels (crew vessels). mtu Series 2000 engines are rated for vessels with unrestricted operations. Power, fuel efficiency and reliability - three characteristics that mean one thing above all: perfect performance in every situation. Our mtu 2000 series has proven itself time and again over six generations. The power spectrum ranges from 720 to 1,939 kW (966 – 2,600 bhp). With the latest generation mtu Series 2000 we go one step further: essential engine components have been optimised, intelligently combined and perfectly matched.

MTU Series 2000 Key Features
The MTU Series 2000 is a diesel engine designed for marine applications, providing reliable solutions for various marine needs. Here are its key features:

• Starting System: The engine uses an electric starter with a voltage of 24V.

• Cooling System: The cooling system includes a coolant-to-raw water plate core heat exchanger, a self-priming centrifugal raw water pump, and a gear-driven coolant circulation pump.

• Turbocharging System: The engine features sequential turbocharging with three exhaust-gas turbochargers and on-engine intake air filters.

• Oil System: The oil system is equipped with a gear-driven lube oil pump, a lube-oil duplex filter double-stage, a lube-oil heat exchanger, and a hand pump for oil extraction.

• Exhaust System: The exhaust system includes triple-walled, liquid-cooled, on-engine exhaust manifolds, a single centrally located exhaust outlet, and one exhaust bellows for horizontal discharge.

• Inclination: The engine is designed to handle up to a maximum of 45° rolling.

• Fuel System: The fuel system includes a fuel feed pump, a fuel hand pump, a fuel pre-filter, a fuel main filter, an on-engine fuel cooler, a high-pressure fuel pump, jacketed high-pressure fuel lines, injection nozzles (common rail system), flame-proof hose lines, and a leak-off collector.

• Mounting System: The engine uses resilient mounts at the free end.

• Compliance with Emission Regulations: The engine complies with IMO II, EPA 3 recreational, and RCD 2013/53/EU emission regulations.

• Engine Management System: The engine management system includes an engine control and monitoring system (ADEC), and an engine interface module (EIM).

• Monitoring / Control System: The engine uses the MTU NautIQ BlueVision I NG system for monitoring and control.

Please note that this is a general overview of the key features of the MTU Series 2000 engine. For more specific details or information about particular models, it would be best to consult the manufacturer’s specifications or product manuals.
