New Wärtsilä 31 engine achieves Guinness World Records title
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 2 June 2015 at 3.30 pm EET
The recently launched Wärtsilä 31 engine has achieved a Guinness World Records
title for the most efficient 4-stroke diesel engine. Guinness World Records is a
universally recognized authority on record breaking achievement. This
prestigious achievement was verified on May 26, 2015, and confirms Wärtsilä's
technology leadership position.
The listing is based on the Wärtsilä 31 engine's highest fuel efficiency levels,
with its diesel fuel consumption being as low as 165 g/kWh. This is far lower
than any other 4-stroke diesel engine currently available on the market.
The Wärtsilä 31 engine is designed to serve various types of vessels in the
Offshore, Cruise & Ferry, and other marine segments where the power range
requirement is from 4.2 to 9.8 MW. The engine can be operated using a range of
different fuels, and comes in three alternative versions; Diesel, Dual-Fuel (DF)
and Spark-Ignited Gas (SG). The multi-fuel capabilities that the Wärtsilä 31
brings to the market extend the possibilities for operators to utilise different
qualities of fuels, from very light to very heavy diesel, and a range of
different qualities of gas.
"The marine industry is focusing more than ever on efficiency and flexibility.
The validation of the Wärtsilä 31 by Guinness World Records as being the most
efficient 4-stroke diesel engine in the world speaks for itself. Ship owners and
operators now have the chance to take a more efficient approach to improving
vessel operations and reducing costs. The Wärtsilä 31 clearly redefines
efficiency," says Roger Holm, Senior Vice President, Engines, Wärtsilä Ship
Power.
