YANMAR has introduced its latest marine engine – the Common Rail 6GY135W.
The high-speed 6-cylinder engine offers power outputs ranging from 372 to 599kW / 1800 to 2100rpm.
The engine meets IMO Tier 2 and, soon, IMO Tier 3 certification standards and has been designed for a wide range of marine vessels, including fishing boats, ferries, commercial vessels, and luxury yachts.
“The launch of the Common Rail 6GY135W marks a significant milestone for Yanmar and the marine industry as a whole,” said Hero Bouwman, senior area manager at Yanmar Europe. “Yanmar has worked tirelessly to develop an engine that meets and exceeds our customers’ expectations. The new Common Rail 6GY135W is a testament to Yanmar’s commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability.”
Optimised
Key features of the engine include less smoke, noise, and lower emissions.
The common rail system reduces black smoke levels by up to 80% compared to previous models and the common rail system’s fuel injection control and the combustion chamber structure optimisation result in clean combustion characteristics and improved fuel efficiency across the entire load range.
The optimised multi-stage fuel injection pattern allows for low noise levels and the ASSIGN combustion system reduces emissions.
Other enhancements from Yanmar include low-speed torque improvements. Yanmar has analysed real-time usage and operation patterns which the engine manufacturer says has resulted in stable high torque in middle and high-speed ranges.
Other features of the new engine include an advanced electronic control system and enhanced reliability and durability with extra-stable lube oil consumption and long-life fuel valves at the tip of each injector.
