Diesel Generator Wartsila Vasa 4R32LN-E 1.5 MWe / 50hz, HFO/DF/DG

10612025 Diesel Generating Set  1.5 MWe / 50 Hz Wartsila Vasa 4R32 LN-E

This Wartsila Diesel Generating Set has been used only for testing purposes by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and has clocked only 7430 hours since new. Originally it was built for normal diesel engine capable to burn various heavy fuels up to 730 cSt / 50C viscosity. The engine has been upgraded by Wartsila to comply with their LN-E model 32 engines including antipolishing rings, increase of engine output and complete new control system. This unit has been testing various fuels and components for Wartsila and it has been always serviced by Wartsila and it is technically in good condition.  

During the years, Wartsila has installed new components and control system and today the engine has all components to operate in three different modes: First as normal diesel more with HFO, secondly as Wartsila 32DF (Dual Fuel) with natural gas and light diesel oil, thirdly as Wartsila GD (Gas Diesel) where gas is compressed to a high pressure before injecting into a cylinder and ignited with light diesel oil. Naturally to change the mode, some components, like turbo, cylinder liners, pistons and cylinder heads needs to be changed. Currently the engine has set up for DF (with diesel mode liners)
