On May 15, CSSC Power (Group) Corporation Ltd. (CPGC), a subsidiary of CSSC, and MAN Energy Solutions (MAN ES) jointly held a successful Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) inspection ceremony for the CPGC/CMD-MAN B&W 12G95ME-C10.5-LGIM-EGRTC methanol engine at CSSC-MES Diesel Co., Ltd. (CMD), a subsidiary of CPGC.
With an output power of 64,650kW and a gross weight of 2,400 tons, the engine’s oversized structure and hydraulic system will provide strong power for the world’s largest methanol-powered vessel, and it is also the world’s first application of the two-string EGR system, which makes the main engine’s structure more compact and its maintenance operation more convenient.
Based on the latest generation of MAN-ES LGIM design platform and control logic, the reliability and stability of the whole engine is further improved; through the joint R&D test with MAN-ES, the performance of the main engine and the emission level have been further optimized and improved.
Its methanol substitution rate reaches 93%, the thermal efficiency of the methanol mode reaches 52.5% and the CO2 emissions of the methanol mode are reduced by about 9% compared with the fuel mode.
It is understood that the CPGC/CMD-MAN B&W 12G95ME-C10.5-LGIM-EGRTC methanol engine delivered this time is the latest achievement of CPGC in the field of green ship power, and it will be applied to COSCO Shipping Group’s 24,000TEU ultra-large methanol dual-fuel container ship.
