Mega Diesel Engine made in germany. MTU (Engine and Turbine Union Friedrichshafen) is a brand of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. Their propulsion systems and large diesel engines, for example, neatly heat ships, heavy and military vehicles or railways. Not infrequently bring such drives namely achievements of up to 12,000 hp. The mega diesel engines are manufactured in the idyllic Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, but the engines "Made in Germany" have long been used worldwide.

But he would of loved watching this as much as I did he would of told me a lot of what is going on behind the scenes R.I.P Dad but i have to say the amount of intelligence natural and artificial that has gone into its design then all the manual labor to build and maintain plus the special machinery to make it all happen mind blowing. Love documentaries showing how dar we have come as humans but how far engineering in all fields have come by means of people in the self quest to better things and ideas collaborating to make things like this happen.

The issue with the MTU engine is that the A10 and B10 cylinders are the closest to the intercooler which meant that they take the most thermal stress when the engine goes full rev and idle. Constant replacement. Also the exhaust thermocouples are constantly coated by carbon and they bend easily due to high temperatures, causing false temperature which activates the engine auto shutdown active.

Is MTU a Rolls Royce company? Regardless, I've watched 3 variations of this beautifully made video, and really enjoyed them all. After my apprenticeship as an industrial electrician in the N.E. English coal mines I left, and joined my first ship (the "Port Lyttelton") in the British Merchant Navy as 2nd electrical engineer just after my 20th birthday in 1969 (I was in heaven). The "Lyttelton" was built in England in 1946 (I don't remember which shipyard, I'm 73 now, so some details from long ago are a little blurry). The engine was a 5 or 7? cylinder triple-acting two-stroke "Doxford", made in Scotland. It (the engine) was 80ft long, 40ft tall and ran on semi-refined, nasty black crude heavy oil which resembled runny treacle or molasses. We had less than 7,000 hp, and cruised flat-out @ about 11 knots (7 weeks to get to NewZealand from Antwerp in Belgium, or from London, England). So, it would take eight (8) of our "Doxfords" to equal the four MTU's output, but the eight Doxford 1946er's combined, would occupy more space than the ENTIRE catamaran ferry ship 😲 !!! If you want to make your own comparisons, please Google "Doxford triple-acting two-stroke marine engines", and be prepared to have your mind blown. Happy new year to you all from sunny S.Louisiana, USA.

Great stuff. The technology is not so much the engine but more the materials and precision of the manufacturing process. Both advanced materials and precision manufacturing have been elusive for centuries. Precision was only seen in jewellery and watches. As precision is so difficult and advanced, Egyptologists are at a total loss when confronted with ancient boxes and granite blocks.

@johnswarbrick2365 3 года назад

Keeps talking about "steel" and adding Mg makes the "steel" supple. It is cast iron at the spout and adding Mg turns it into SG Iron or Nodular Iron as it is also called. SG was developed by the iron industry. The name "iron"gives it bad press as "cast iron" has little shock resistance and is easily broken. If SG Iron had been developed by the steel industry it would have been called Spheroidal Graphite steel, as the structure is changed from the free carbon flakes in cast iron by the addition of the Mg to graphite spheroids in a steel matrix. These graphite spheroids give SG Iron superior properties to steel. The only exception being weldability, but even this disability can be overcome in many applications.

@andyharman3022 2 года назад

Most heavy duty diesel engine blocks are cast from G3500 gray cast iron with 35ksi tensile strength. It is truly exceptional that MTU casts these blocks from nodular iron which range from 65 to 100 ksi tensile strength. So these blocks start with material that is about twice the strength of typical heavy duty diesels. In the last 10 years, some engine manufacturers have started using compacted graphite iron, which is an alloy closer in strength to ductile iron, but easier to machine, and with higher thermal conductivity. Cummins just started making their 1000 lb*ft 6.7L engine for the Dodge pickup with a compacted graphite iron block in 2019. They were able to lower the weight of the engine compared to the old gray iron version even though it was designed for higher power.

@allgonquin 5 лет назад

Kyle, you are correct. These engines have an air driven starter motor acting on the flywheel. (some engines like the Cat mentioned above have two). Larger, so called "medium speed" engines typically use an "air on piston" air start system where high pressure air flows to a mechanical distributor which puts air through a port in the cylinder heads (typically one side of a Vee configuration only) directly into the cylinders, acting in sequence on the pistons to force them down and spin the engine up to start. When the speed reaches a set point, fuel injection is enabled and the engine lights off and starts firing and comes up to speed.

@jessemurray1757 2 года назад

13,600 BHP and judging by the run stand, it makes roughly an insane 75,000 Nm (55,317 Lb Ft) of torque. Per liter that's only about 38 BHP and 214 Nm (157 ft Lb), which honestly is not bad considering its size. I bet its capable of twice that number if tuned for it. However, they designed it to literally last for decades, not run on the ragged edge. Also, I'm sure they require a practical (less than optimum) intake and exhaust setup, otherwise it would be a nightmare to manufacture and assemble.
