Basic technical comparison:
BRAND MTU (high speed engine) YANMAR (medium speed engine)
Model 16v 4000 M63R 6EY26
Brake specific fuel consumption is higher in MTU High speed engines with difference around 6.1
g/kwh, BUT ONLY during high load conditions.
Assuming Fuel MDO 1 MT price is 200$ , savings you get per Engine 9 $/hr
70% of time tug operation hours per year (load below 60%) 2100 hrs
$37,800.00
Minimum Savings on 2 Engines (1 Tug) in USD per year
Savings in lifetime cycle (20 years) in USD $756,000.00
While medium speed Engines are efficient above 60% load conditions
which represents 10% of Time distribution, in other words 300 operating
hours per year, which could save you 3K – 5K USD/ year.
Medium speed engines are efficient ONLY at high loads (over 60%)
Tugboats operating profile and MTU
Engines
MTU fuel consumption is efficient than Yanmar’s Medium speed during 87.5 % Tug operating conditions
(below 60% loading conditions as previously stated)
Quick response, High maneuvering and better
fuel consumption
• 500 rpm to full speed in a 10-17 sec. period, compared to medium speed engines 450 rpm to 750 rpm
in 45 sec.
• High speed engines have a wider operating band from idle to full load with much stronger acceleration
17 sec
450 – 750 rpm 45 sec
Acceleration time and operating RPM Band - comparison at maximum power 0-100%
How MTU Engines are efficient during load
variation?
The electronic control system (ECU) Controls:
1. start of injection
2. The quantity of Fuel
3. Time of injection
And independent of the engine speed.
• High speed engines reduce maximum torque in drive line components such as shafts, bearings, clutches and flexible
couplings, reducing initial cost and long term maintenance...more savings!
• For ASD tugs the low engine height (1.8m) and the possibility of applying 7 degree inclination angle (driving end up)
allow less intermediate bearings installment.
