Medium-speed diesel propulsion engine for ships (4 stroke, V-type)
COLT-PIELSTICK PA6B : 2800 -> 7000 kW Fairbanks Morse

With over 840 engines in operation, the Colt-Pielstick PA6 is respected worldwide for its reliability and its incredibly advanced technology. This engine has been expanded to include the longstroke %u201CB%u201D version, which is 25 percent more powerful than the PA6. The PA6B has a redesigned connecting rod, crankshaft, cylinder head, and liner with an anti-bore polishing ring. In addition to excellent fuel consumption, the PA6B engine already meets the EPA's stringent Tier II emissions standards going into effect in 2007.

All feed pumps (fresh water, lube oil, and fuel oil) are driven by the engine. The lubricating circuit including the oil filter is fully integrated into the engine. This results in increased reliability, safety, and simplified installation. The PA6B engine incorporates an integrated combination plate heat exchanger (Combi-Cooler) for cooling both lube oil and the water cooling loop.
