Wärtsilä 20

Wärtsilä 20

The Wärtsilä 20 medium-speed engine offers a remarkable combination of state-of-theart design and top performance in a compact,space-saving package. With its virtually pipeless, operator-friendly “heavy duty” design, the engine  has started a new era in the development of medium-speed engines.

Where power-to-weight and power-to-space rations are concerned, the engine is unmatched in its power range. The fact that the Wärtsilä 20 has originally  been designed to operate reliably with the poorest quality heavy fuel, makes the Wärtsilä 20 the ultimate in reliable performance using light diesel  oils.

Overhaul intervals up to 24,000 hours and maintenance-friendly design are some of the main valuable features that have earned the Wärtsilä 20 an installed base of more than two thousand engines since the launch in 1992. 

The design of the Wärtsilä 20 engine is based on Wärtsilä’s heavy fuel know-how and is fully optimized for today’s flexible manufacturing methods.

Wärtsilä 20 core values:

  • Proven and reliable heavy fuel technology
  • Cost-effective design
  • Easy and cost-effective installation
  • Low operating costs
  • Low NOx emission
  • Minimal consumables
