GE Marine Rugged and reliable GE’s high-performance V228 Series diesel engines imagination at work
V228 Series engines—Dependable, long-lasting marine power GE has been designing and building high-performance diesel engines for more than 40 years. Today, we’re one of the leading manufacturers of medium-speed engines in the world. Our V228 Series engines produce continuous power from 1045 kw to 3060 kw. With exceptional reliability and operating costs among the lowest in their class, V228 engines from GE are the right choice for dependable, efficient power. They work harder.
The easy-to-maintain engine The modularized construction of our V228 engines improves maintainability. Among the features that make maintenance easier are large access doors on the engine mainframe to reach bearings and other crankcase components. The segmented camshaft, sectional exhaust manifold and unitized power assembly are features that simplify removal and replacement of components. Rigid Cast Mainframe The V228 engine mainframes feature high-strength, monobloc cast-iron construction.
The low-emissions solution Proven EFI technology, integrated with GE’s PowerStar™ engine control module, makes V228 engines the natural choice for environmental compliance. Without exhaust gas treatment, NOx emissions are below MARPOL Annex VI regulatory standards. V228 engines comply with U.S. EPA Marine Tier 1 and Tier 2 standards as well. gm/kWh 18 0 Unitized Power Assembly Four-bolt mounting makes assembly removal fast and easy.
Stay the course with V228 Series engines GE’s V228 Series engines are designed to power workboats, tugs, towboats, offshore supply vessels, ferries, dredges, fishing vessels and other marine transport applications. Dependable and durable, these medium-speed engines are among the best in their class for fuel efficiency and low life-cycle costs. Engines are available in 8-, 12- and 16-cylinder configurations.
