The Wärtsilä 46 is a medium-speed engine for which reliability and total economy have been the guiding principles. Extensive testing in our modern diesel laboratory backed up by several thousand running hours have made the Wärtsilä 46 a really reliable diesel engine. Laboratory testing is full-scale engine testing: it covers various types of endurance testing, and also combustion measurements and system optimizations. All these confirm theoretical calculations, simulations as well as performance mapping of such factors as heat balance, fuel and lube oil consumption, exhaust emission, noise and vibration level.

Wärtsilä engine designs are based on generations of know-how combined with innovations in response to customer needs.The Wärtsilä 46 engine offers customers the following benefits:

• Real reliability
• Low operating costs
• Low exhaust gas emissions
• Easy and cost-effective installation
• Proven flexible mounting technology
• Easy maintenance

Pump drives

Wärtsilä engines are delivered with the UNIC embedded engine management system.

The UNIC system is designed to ensure extended lifetime for large marine diesel and gas engines operating in the toughest of conditions. Special attention has been paid to temperature- and vibration endurance throughout the design, while the highest priority has been given to operational reliability.
 

Key features of the UNIC system include the engine safety system, local monitoring, speed control with loadsharing, fuel injection- and timing control, knock detection, alarm signal acquisition, start/stop sequencing, load reduction request, system diagnostics, and a fieldbus interface as applicable for each engine configuration.

Thanks to the electronic control, the engine can be adapted to different operating conditions. Furthermore, the pre-tested configuration allows the engine or generating set to be made ready for operation with a minimum of commissioning and installation work.
