Features + Benefits

Four cylinder, four cycle, in-line, liquid cooled, overhead valve, marine diesels based on heavyduty engine blocks. Balanced, forged crankshaft with induction hardened journals and rolled fillets for long life. Replaceable, wet cylinder liners for long life and low rebuild costs. Bimetallic valves with chrome stems and rotators. Replaceable valve seats and guides. Three ring aluminum alloy pistons with Ni-Resist insert for the top ring. Keystone piston ring reduces carbon buildup under light loads. Dual gear-driven, counter-rotating balancing shafts for smooth operation. A single poly-vee drive belt powers the alternator and jacket-water pump.

Keel cooled with heat exchanger option. Cast expansion tank. Two thermostats for quick warmups and safety. Cast-iron exhaust manifold for reliable temperature control.

High pressure common rail fuel injection for smooth, clean delivery. Direct fuel injection systems. Ring clamp fuel filters with air bleed and drain. Diaphragm-type, mechanical fuel transfer pump with manual priming lever.

Dry air filter silences intake noise. Turbocharger with jacket water cooled turbine housings for safety.

Positive displacement gear-type oil pump. Full flow, spin-on oil filter. .Oil spray cooling reduces piston crown temperature for longer life. Jacket-water, plate-type, full flow oil cooler reduces heat and prevents lube oil breakdown. Large capacity oil pan. A closed loop crankcase vent traps oil vapor to keep the engine room clean.

Negative ground, 12 volt DC system includes starter motor and alternator with regulator. Low oil pressure and high coolant temperature safety shutdown system. Optional control panels help you specify the amount and type of information required. Comprehensive list of optional alarms and safety shutdowns. Optional DC logic system for simplified maintenance. Optional pre-wired engine, panel with terminal strips.

Standard flush mount S-3C control panel has hour meter, oil pressure gauge, coolant temperature gauge, DC voltmeter, stop-start switch and preheat switch. Expandable up to six panels, up to 110 feet from the set. Low oil pressure and high coolant temperature shutdowns are standard.

Direct coupled, single bearing, 12 lead, reconnectable AC generator. Maintenance free brushless design. All NL generators meet or exceed class society standards with Class “H” insulation, accessible diodes, oversized ball bearings, marine grade shafts and conservative 110°/50° heat rise ratings. Engines and generators are torsionally matched for long life. Automatic voltage regulator; ±1% regulation over the entire range from no load to full load. .Configured for isochronous frequency control with ECU electronic governor control.
