The New V250 Diesel Engine

GE has been designing and building high-performance diesel engines for more than 40 years. Today, were one of the leading manufacturers of medium-speed diesel engines in the world. In our new V250 marine engine, weve combined the best features of earlier engine designs with advancements proven to deliver eciency, reliability and performance advantages.

V250 engine systems

Proven performance and operating advantages

One-Piece Liners

Advanced EFI

The sti, one-piece, mid-stop liner has an integral external water jacket that removes the possibility of water leaks. An anti-polishing ring provides a durable running surface, improving lube oil consumption and liner life. The top one-third of the liner is cooled.

Designed for greater eciency at varying speeds and loads, the V250s electronic fuel injection features precise fuel control, increased pressure capability and rened timing. Optimization of the cam prole, injection start, injection volumes and ows, and control algorithms have produced a relatively simple system, proven reliable through extensive validation.

Rugged Cylinder Heads

6.5% 25%

Sophisticated Control

6.5% fuel savings while meeting Tier 2

The V250 proves its possible to meet the emissions compliance requirements of U.S. EPA Tier 2 without sacricing fuel eciency. In this new engine, improved fuel management, a new combustion system design and rened cooling together deliver fuel savings of as much as 6.5%, compared to our earlier engine designs. At the same time, the V250 meets the EPAs new, more stringent emissions guidelines as well as Marpol Annex VI standards.

Our PowerStar II controller drives the fuel injection system with advanced closing point detection for better fuel economy and emissions control. The system features improved diagnostics and display of all engine parameters and faults without the need for a laptop computer. Engine protection algorithms predict problems earlier to avoid engine damage.

A one-piece casting, wall structure fully supported by the head gasket, thicker ame deck and resizing and relocation of cooling bores has signicantly improved the strength and design margins of the assemblys cylinder head.

Higher-Eciency Turbocharger

We have taken a proven turbocharger design and leveraged the aerodynamics expertise of our aviation business to enhance it. Improved bearing strength, better rotor dynamics, a cooled housing and integrated packaging create a high-performance, high-reliability system. Turbocharger matching optimizes performance for various speed ratings.

New Piston Design

Improved Power Assemblies

25% greater power density in a compact design

100%

A relatively large bore engine with a narrow overall width and lighter weight, the V250 packs a lot of power into its footprint. Among other features, its inlet and exhaust manifolds are compactly arranged between cylinder banks. Where space is at a premium, the trim design and high power-to-weight ratio of the V250 give it a clear edge.

100% engineered for reliability and maintainability

Our redesigned power assembly meets the high-pressure demands as well as the stringent reliability requirements of the V250 engine, while retaining an easy-to-maintain assembly concept. The units rened ow path enhances combustion, fuel savings and reduced emissions. The cylinder head, liner, piston and connecting rod can be easily removed as a single assembly.

Our new piston meets the increased weight and pressure requirements of the V250 engine. The improved skirt and pin boss provide better lubrication and guidance. With dynamics optimized through secondary motion analysis, the new piston design lowers oil consumption, reduces blow-by and lengthens oil life.

Forged Connecting Rods

The V250 is a brand new enginedesigned not only for higher eciency and lower emissions but also for improved reliability and maintainability. Every critical component and system of the V250 was engineered, manufactured, tested, rened and validated extensively for reliability. For easier maintenance, a segmented camshaft, sectional exhaust manifold, unitized power assembly and other features simplify component removal and replacement. GEs V250 diesel engines are available in 12-cylinder and 16-cylinder V congurations for medium-speed duty with continuous power from 2175 kw to 4240 kw.

Exceptional strength, high stiness and large bearings are unique features of our connecting rods. The large bearing width and optimized oil groove in the bearing shell improve oil lm thickness and pressure.

Sturdy Mainframe

Heavy-Duty Crankshaft

The mainframe of the V250 engine is high-strength ductile-iron construction. The main and connecting rod bearing capacity provides greater reliability and durability, and improved ribbing in the cross-bolt area adds to stiness and lowers vibration.

Forged of high quality steel and nitride-hardened for long life, the V250s crankshaft has single-piece construction with no bolted joints. Large journal surface areas minimize loads, and dynamically balanced counterweights reduce stress for longer crankshaft life.

Segmented Camshaft

The camshaft in the V250 is arranged in individual sections for easy inspection and maintenance. Forged and hardened camshaft lobes reduce wear. Oversized journal bearings decrease loads for longer camshaft life.
