MTU's Advanced Marine Engine Design and Applications

Development of the modern, high-speed Diesel operating at very high mean effective pressures opens the way for ship designers to apply new concepts. All the more so because these developments have maintained the high utility factor of the Diesel engine, extended the range of applications through the improved operating characteristics, and have also reduced fuel consumption.

Together with the supplementary equipment mentioned, this leads to propulsion plants which raise the efficiency of fast commercial vessels, and which considerably improve the combat effectiveness of naval ships.
