The perfect GenSet across your fleet
By applying innovative technology combined with classic design principles, the MAN L23/30H Mk3 GenSet is built to meet your needs for today and for the future. With an exceptionally wide power range of 500kW–1800kW, including the new 9-cylinder unit version, the MAN L23/30H Mk3 GenSet is suitable for almost any vessel type in your fleet.
More power – same reliability
The MAN L23/30H GenSet has been trusted by owners and operators for stable, reliable and cost-efficient operation for more than five decades. With over 12,000 MAN L23/30H GenSets in active service, the L23/30H has proven to be one of the most reliable marine GenSets in the market and has a well-earned reputation for easy maintenance and longest Time Between Overhaul in its class.
The new MAN L23/30H Mk3 GenSet improves on this trusted design in virtually every way. The engine has an exceptionally broad power range that can also accommodate SOx scrubber solutions and is designed to operate on Low Sulphur Fuel Oils in accordance with the IMO 2020 Sulphur Cap regulations.
This results in a cost-effective GenSet platform for years to come with easy access to spare parts and lifetime support.
The Mk3 version of the MAN L23/30H GenSets
Key features
- Wide power range of 500kW to 1,800kW
- IMO 2020 Sulphur Cap compliant
- One less cylinder required than with the Mk2 version
- 24,000 hours Time Between Overhaul (TBO)
- 15-20% increase in power output/cylinder unit
- Reduced fuel oil consumption
- Connecting rod applying marine head design
- Bedplate design for easy installation
- Applying the popular SaCosone safety and control system
Emission
IMO’s global 2020 Sulphur Cap means that vessels will either have to use marine fuel oils with maximum 0.5% or 0.1% sulphur, or invest in SOx-reducing technology that will require higher auxiliary engine power. The new MAN L23/30H Mk3 GenSet supports both solutions.
For shipowners preferring to comply with the 2020 Sulphur Cap by operating on Low Sulphur Fuel Oils, the new MAN L23/30H Mk3 GenSet is a perfect choice. The engine is designed with coated fuel oil pumps to account for the poorer lubricating properties of Low Sulphur Fuel Oils.
Engine room layout
When running on Low Sulphur Fuel Oils, an additional advantage of the MAN L23/30H Mk3 GenSet is the increased power output. In many cases, the engine can be selected with one cylinder less compared to Mk1 and Mk2. This means lower engine weight and shorter length.
Thanks to the higher power output, the MAN L23/30H Mk3 GenSet is also especially suitable for installation in engine rooms designed with a SOx scrubber.
The engine room for a MAN L23/30H
Mk3 GenSet can be designed with the same cylinder numbers as for a pre-2020 vessel without a SOx scrubber. This means that only a few changes are necessary in the engine room.
