Since the first engine was born in 1955, MHI has already had more than 50 years of history in engine manufacturing.
UE low speed diesel engine is a paten independently researched and designed by MHI. It is large two-stroke low speed diesel engine. It is used as a propulsor for ships and generators.
Over 90% of the low speed diesel engines are extensively used as large marine propulsor. The biggest feature is sound heat efficiency with single unit heat efficiency close to 50%. In various power plants (such as boiler, gas turbine and so on), its heat efficiency is also ranking on top.
Presently, most ships use low speed diesel propulsors, the reason is that there is a quite high demand for the economic practicality for business ships, and the economic benefits brought by low speed diesel engines with high heat efficiency is outstanding. Therefore low speed diesel engines are widely used in bulk carrier, chemical tanker, container ship, multi-purpose vessel and other types of ships.
Features of UE low speed diesel engines:
1. Low fuel consumption, high reliability, compact structure, environmental protection;
2.,Low quality fuel can also be used；
3.Low rotating speed, high propeller efficiency;
4.Complete diameters of cylinders are suitable for a various ships (bulk carrier, oil tanker, container ship, auto carrier and so on ) from 10,000t to 300，000t;
5.Easy for operation and maintenance;
6.Completely made in Japan, MHI-UE diesel engines have reliable quality.
7.MHI provided world-wide after-sale service.
Except for the excellent performance of UE engines, UCE diesel engines also have following features:
1.Environmental protection，low NOx discharge, Smokeless operation;
2.Durable;
3.Has early failure early warning system;
4.Stable low-load operation
