ME-B and ME-C engines

ME-B

The ME-B design is based on  mechanical MC-C range  with electronic controls that provide improved operational economy and flexibility, and manoeuvrability.
ME-B programme now comprises a total output range from 3,200 kW to 19,040 kW.

• Electronic fuel injection control
• Fuel economy
• High power reliability
• Longer time between overhauls
• Low propeller speed
• Better vessel manoeuvrability
• Very low life-cycle costs
• Tier II emissions compliance.

ME-B engines can also be retrofitted to dual-fuel operation so they can run on natural gas. These engines have the same fuel consumption as similar diesel engines, and the same tuning methods can be applied.

ME- C

ME-C engines are a more compact form of  ME-B .
The ME-C advantages

• Fully integrated electronic control
• Low SFOC
• Superior performance parameters
• Appropriate fuel injection pressure and rate shaping at any load
• Improved emission characteristics
• Smokeless operation at any load
• Lower NO_x on command. 

These advantages are gained by the use of variable, electronically-controlled timing of fuel injection and exhaust valves during operation.
