NEW 16 LITRE FPT ENGINE

FPT Industrial has launched its new C16 1000 marine engine.

The engine is developed for light commercial and pleasure applications and – claims FPT – is the only 16 litre engine to fit in the same space as a 13 litre engine.

The engine has a 6-cylinder in-line architecture and features the latest generation common rail injection system (up to 2200 bar).

Its power can reach 1,000hp at 2,300rpm.

Designed

In order to maximise reliability and resistance to salt and water, the C16 1000 has been designed with specific air, water, oil and fuel circuits.

The marinisation set includes a heavy duty, high flow sea water pump, a new heat exchanger for improved heat rejection, anodised air-intake pipes, a new air filter in epoxy-based material more resistant to salt and humidity and twisted wirings for maximum resistance to dirt, water and sludge.

Features

The engine has a maintenance period of up to 600 hours.

Other features include increased fatigue strength new material components - cylinder block and head, crankshaft and bearings, con-rods, steel pistons, rings, increased flows for oil and water circuits with a professional bronze body and impeller sea water pump.

The turbocharging system uses two single stage water cooled WG turbo while the engine’s lay-out is focused on easy serviceability and maintenance.
