Lubricating oil
- engine inlet 60 - 65 °C
- temperature rise at rated output 10 - 14 °C
Cooling water
- engine inlet 45 - 60 °C
Distillate fuel 40 - 50 °C *

* Permissible injection viscosity must be set on the viscothermic device to enable a kinema-
tic viscosity of 10 - 12 mm2/s (cSt) to be reached before the injection pumps, corresponding
to a dynamic viscosity of 9 - 11 mPa s (distillate fuel below 10 mm2/s or 9 mPa s).
The heavy fuel specifications defined by MaK (e.g. RHM 35 (~ IF 380) give the heavy fuel
temperature before engine starting.
However, the maximum temperature at injection pumps must not exceed 155 °C!
