GE Marine Seaworthy power GE’s new L250 inline diesel engine imagination at work
GE’s L250 Built by one of the world’s largest manufacturers of medium-speed diesel engines Designed to save fuel and meet EPA Tier 2 emissions standards Upgradeable to EPA Tier 3 emissions standards A History of Performance GE Transportation has been serving the Along with the new L250 engine, GE’s family transportation industry for more than a of medium-speed engines include 8-, 12- century.
Fuel-efficient. Emissions-compliant. Compact power. Narrow footprint. Easy to maintain. The new L250 diesel engine GE’s new L250 inline engine offers a streamlined design that is fuel-efficient and delivers continuous power from 1498 to 2330 kw. The L250 is specifically engineered for marine applications with its accessories mounted on the engine for maintenance ease. The L250 offers an average 9% fuel savings when compared to the V228 engine.
L250 Components Marine class. Inline design. Sturdy Mainframe The L250’s mainframe is a rugged one-piece iron casting, which provides excellent vibrationdampening characteristics and long-term stability to minimize line bore distortion. Further strength and rigidity are added by bolting main bearing caps both vertically and horizontally.
Power Assemblies The L250’s power assemblies are designed to meet the high-pressure demands of the engine while adhering to strict reliability requirements and an easy-to-maintain assembly concept. Unitized cylinder assembly enables quick changeouts and increased engine uptime. Each assembly is mounted directly to the mainframe and includes liner assembly, cylinder head, intake and exhaust valves, valve linkage and a high-pressure fuel-injection pump and nozzle.
