Dürr Ecoclean water jetting system enables up to 80% reduction in water jet pressure for engine cylinder bore activation

Green Car Congress

High-pressure water jetting at pressures of up to 3000 bar (45,500 psi) is becoming increasingly widespread as a method of activating the cylinder bore surfaces of engine blocks prior to thermal coating. As part of this downsizing trend, thermal coatings are increasingly replacing grey cast iron cylinder liners in engine blocks.

Maersk selects Wärtsilä HY Module hybrid solution for AHTS vessel conversion

Green Car Congress

The hybrid power conversion will be carried out on the Maersk Minder , a deep-water anchor-handling tug-supply (AHTS) vessel during the early part of 2022. The conversion will also reduce the vessel’s maintenance requirements while increasing operational performance. The order with Wärtsilä was placed in May 2021.
