KELVIN MODEL - TASC8
MARINE PROPULSION
440 bhp 328kWb at 1200 RPM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Kelvin diesel engine Model TASC8 is a
4-stroke 8 cylinder in-line having an
operating speed range of 600 - 1200 r/min		 It is turbocharged and fitted with a sea water cooled intercooler.
The engine is fresh water cooled through a mounted heat exchanger and gear driven fresh and sea water pumps.

The crankcase is of cast iron with separate cylinder blocks, each for two cylinders with wet liners and individual cylinder heads.
Water cooled exhaust manifolds and crankcase doors are fitted as standard. Wet sump lubrication includes a gear driven lubricating
oil pump and engine mounted fresh water cooled oil cooler.
A torsional vibration damper is fitted at the free end of the engine and the crankshaft has an extension for power take-off purposes.
Further power drives can be provided at the free end.

TECHNICAL DATA

Maximum crankshaft power is 440 bhp at standard conditions and 1200 r/min.
