Pleasure boat engine : in-board diesel engine 100 - 200 hp (indirect injection, natural aspiration)
6LXB (127 hp @ 1500 rpm)
Gardner Marine Diesels
The specific fuel consumption rate of the engine when directly coupled to the dynamometer is the remarkably low value of 0.330 lb./per b.h.p./hour which represents an overall thermal efficiency of no less than 39.73%. If the engine is operated slightly below maximum torque, it does attain over 40% thermal efficiency.
The engine is designed for use with a fresh water closed circuit heat exchanger or keel cooler system. Coolant is circulated at high rate by a centrifugal pump and temperature is automatically controlled at all loads and speeds from idle to maximum
output.
