CAMC High Performance Six-cylinder Methanol Fuel Powered Engine for Ships

Products Description

The CAMC GS14M Series 6-cylinder marine methanol engine is a heavy-duty clean power unit engineered exclusively for marine propulsion systems. Fueled by M100 pure methanol, it integrates advanced technologies including intake turbocharging with intercooling and stoichiometric air-fuel ratio closed-loop control—delivering high performance, low fuel consumption, and minimal emissions. Designed for the main propulsion of inland waterway transport vessels, coastal workboats, and more, it stands as a leading "clean energy replacement" solution in the marine power sector.

Core Technologies & Advantages

Clean Methanol Power: Industry-Leading Environmental Compliance

• Fuel Type: Runs on M100 pure methanol, a clean energy source that cuts carbon emissions by ~30% compared to traditional marine diesel engines. It produces zero sulfur oxides or particulate matter, fully meeting global marine emission regulations (e.g., IMO Tier III).

• Emission Control: Equipped with a cooled EGR system + three-way catalytic converter, tailpipe pollutants (e.g., NOx) are far below industry limits—eliminating the need for complex additional aftertreatment systems.

Advanced Engineering: Performance Meets Efficiency

• Power Output: Turbocharging with intercooling enables a maximum power output of 400kW+ (scalable for different vessel tonnages), with peak torque ranging 1800–2200N·m. Instant low-end torque ensures reliable performance for heavy-load starts and demanding navigation conditions.

• Fuel Economy: Stoichiometric air-fuel ratio closed-loop control optimizes methanol combustion efficiency, reducing overall fuel consumption by 8–12% vs. equivalent-power diesel engines—drastically lowering vessel operating costs.

• Reliability: Critical components (crankshaft, pistons, etc.) use high-strength wear-resistant materials, paired with an intelligent thermal management system. The engine’s overhaul interval exceeds 15,000 operating hours—ideal for the long, continuous runtimes of marine operations.

Marine-Tailored Design: Practical & Versatile

• Installation Compatibility: Dimensions align with traditional marine diesel engines, enabling direct replacement of existing diesel power systems without major hull engine room modifications—minimizing retrofitting time and costs.

• Operational Ease: Integrated intelligent fault diagnosis monitors real-time performance (speed, oil temperature, fault codes), simplifying maintenance for crew members with limited technical expertise.

• Fuel Accessibility: Methanol refueling networks are expanding across inland and coastal ports; refueling processes mirror diesel operations, requiring no specialized infrastructure.

Application Scenarios

FAQ

1.Q: How safe is methanol as a marine fuel?

A: M100 methanol has a flash point of ~12°C (higher than gasoline). The engine includes a fuel leak detection system; when paired with standard marine fire safety protocols, it is as safe as diesel.

2.Q: Is cold-start performance reliable?

A: A methanol-specific cold-start system enables one-click startup at temperatures as low as -10°C—suitable for most climates in China and global regions.

3.Q: How long does it take to replace an existing diesel engine?

A: Thanks to dimension compatibility, retrofitting typically takes just 2–3 days—minimizing vessel downtime.
