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 works in close co-operation with the customer in conducting field tests and follow-ups of selected test components. Data on wear rates, maintenance intervals and consumption rates are collected regularly.This activity is part of a long-term customer relationship creating an even better product.
Due to its excellent combustion performance and reliability level the Wärtsilä 46 has become the most popular engine for power generation onboard new cruise vessels.
