Some sort of ship's engine?

 

[nickleinonen]

ship engine is a pretty safe bet. . 6 cylinder 2 cycle. . i can't tell for sure from the pic, but it looks like it is a bi-turbo arrangement. .

really big container ships have engines that are 2x larger than that one [that worlds most powerful diesel was a 14 cylinder iirc]

found me a new desktop wallpaper

What I like about it is no VP44!!!

Call the D. O. T... he's got to be wayyyyyy overweight! And overheight for that matter...



Not for nothin', but check out the tires on that trailer! I'd say minimum 56 tires, assuming only 4 per axle.

Thank goodness they are not pullin that with no Mercedes

So ya figure the turbos start to spool around 1500 rpm on that???:-laf

Looks like a Sultzer. Those are good engines.



The biggest I've seen on a ship was a ten cylinder making 45,000 bhp. It was like ten single cylinder engines in series. They will burn heavy fuel (Bunker C) or #2.

:-laf:-laf:-laf. . maybe at 15 if you really put the fuel to it.

Seems like a very odd way to ship out an engine. Fully dressed like that?

I thought they usually build the engine right in the ship.

And even if it were a replacement engine, wouldn't it make more sense to ship it in pieces? Apparently not.

I count about 168 tires. I believe the trailer is made up of three units wide with 56 tires per unit.

Not another inline 6. When are they going to join the 21st century and build a V8 like a "real" diesel?

 

[mberry]

Ken,

Is it time for another nap?

 

[klenger]

What,... what, ... oh, ... sorry ... , I'm feeling much better now.

I would be suprised if it turns over 750 rpm's.

i'd bet most of that engines life will be spent in the high double digit engine speed range/low triple digit range

Seems like most of the giants run right around 100 RPM.
