Gulf Coast Work Boat Receives YANMAR’s New EPA Compliant Commercial Engine

June 29, 2015
Yanmar Co., Ltd.

More than 60 years of worldwide experience plus an engine designed specifically for the United States market has made a winning combination for YANMAR’s new EPA compliant commercial engine application. Push boat Sherry L, owned by E Squared Marine Services, LLC from Texas and repowered by Laborde Products, now operates even more quietly and with better fuel consumption thanks to its new 6AYAM-ET engines. In fact, according to data collected from the ship’s operation, the new engines consume 24 gallons of fuel per hour when operating at 510 mhp, resulting in an average savings of 1 to 1.5 gallons per hour over the engines they replaced.

With a need for 24 hours of continuous operation each day pushing inland barges from Channelview to Galveston and on intercostal waterways, the Sherry L can’t afford to take a day off. Thanks to its new 755 mhp engines equipped with SmartAssist, it won’t have to. YANMAR’s unique SmartAssist technology allows the engines to be monitored remotely to ensure ideal operating conditions. And, when it’s time for maintenance, the system will send out a reminder, so that maintenance can be completed on the boat’s schedule to make sure it stays in operation the maximum amount of time possible.

The 61’ Sherry L is a twin screw steel Push Boat of 152 DWT built by A&B Industries of Morgan City. The installation of the 6AYAM-ET engines was an easy repower with a propulsion package that kept the existing set of Twin Disc marine gears MG5170DC ratio 5.03, as well as existing shafts and propellers. The monitoring system consists of a conventional harness with instrument panel, and an optional M200C system that converts conventional engine data into CAN bus protocol. The engines installed work with a dual circuit (HT-LT) cooling water system, and are equipped with factory installed air starters.

Tommy Echols, co-owner of E Squared, commented, “These engines perform better than expected, while also offering quieter operation than the engines they replaced and over any other engine I have ever installed in a tug. The fuel consumption is also exceeding expectations especially for the engine’s horsepower range.”

The 6AYAM-ET is YANMAR’s newest EPA regulated commercially rated engine. With an operating performance of 755 mhp at 1,900 rpm and 20.38 liters of displacement, this 6 in-line cylinder mechanical engine is expected to be a workhorse on the United States waterways for years to come. Key features of this engine include a 500-hour service interval, torque characteristics for stable cruising, purpose built marine design including mechanically controlled injection pumps and conventional injectors designed for easy inspection and an internal exhaust gas recirculation system that doesn’t require any external control devices.

E Squared, a company offering all types of marine transportation in the Gulf Coast, chose Laborde Products, YANMAR’s local distributor, and this particular YANMAR engine not only because it met the stringent EPA Tier III requirements and fit their size and horsepower requirements, but also due to previous good experience working with Laborde.

When asked if he would recommend these new engines to others, Echols replied, “Definitely; when these engines are available for mass distribution, I will highly recommend them to any company that needs the power these engines produce. They are a great addition to the commercial diesel market since there is no other manufacturer that has this 750-800 mhp rating.”

CUMMINS TO PROMOTE MARINE ENGINE OFFERING FOR FIRST TIME AT THE MONACO YACHT SHOW

27 September 2016 for PORT HERCULES, Monaco

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) – a leading manufacturer of diesel engines and generator sets for the marine industry – is pleased to return to the Monaco Yacht Show after a seven-year hiatus. This will be the first time the Company exhibits their full marine offering, including engines and generator sets, at the prestigious event.

Cummins Onan® marine generators have long had a strong reputation in the super yacht segment, and while Cummins large marine engines have enjoyed success in the commercial marine market, the engines are just recently being considered for larger recreational marine applications. Cummins large marine engines, from 19 liters to 60 liters, were designed to withstand the challenging conditions commercial operators often face. That same reliable, durable power – now up to 4,200 hp (3,132 kW) with the introduction of the QSK95 – is available for recreational boating applications.

With International Maritime Organization (IMO) Tier II-certified ratings from 3200 hp to 4200 hp (2386-3132 kW), the QSK95 provides 95 liters of displacement in a 78-liter package. Nested cylinders and a 60-degree V enable a short, narrow engine block relative to other engines of comparable displacement; in addition, the QSK95 weighs in just over 13,000 kg (28,660 lb).

As operators continue to seek better vessel maneuverability, the QSK95 delivers faster transient response through a unique turbo arrangement and a dry exhaust system. By using one turbo per four cylinders, the QSK95 is able to utilize a smaller turbocharger. The dry turbo housings and dry exhaust manifold maximize the available energy to the turbos, allowing them to spool up quickly, resulting in fast engine response.

Cummins design, validation and service teams devoted countless hours to ensuring that the QSK95 sets industry serviceability standards. From the early phases of engine design, qualified technicians participated in service tool and repair procedure validation, and design concepts were evaluated for progressive damage prevention. Initial feedback from technicians servicing QSK95 engines in the field has confirmed that the focus on serviceability will provide considerable payback over the life of the engines.

All Cummins recreational marine products are backed by a global support network with more than 600 distributor locations and 24/7 support from Cummins Care. Additionally, all marine products are covered by a standard comprehensive one-year warranty that is both transferable and valid at any Cummins-authorized marine outlet worldwide.

Customers will have the opportunity to learn more about the engine’s features and benefits with a 3D interactive display, as well as speak with product experts in Tent Darse Sud.

Cummins Tier 4 Oil Gas Industry

CUMMINS SHOWCASING TIER 4 FINAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY

02 May 2016

Highlighting Customer-Inspired Technology At Offshore Technology Conference 2016

HOUSTON – Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) is participating in the Offshore Technology Conference 2016 by showcasing Tier 4-certified products specifically designed to meet the needs of the oil and gas industry. Representing the first significant emissions regulation since Tier 2 in 2006, Tier 4 Final requires a reduction in particulate matter (PM) of 80 percent, and a hydrocarbon (HC) reduction of 45 percent. In order to meet these regulations, Cummins is utilizing a fully integrated Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system.

Designed and manufactured by Cummins Emission Solutions – one of the world’s largest suppliers of exhaust aftertreatment – Cummins SCR systems have been in operation globally since 2006 with more than 1 million SCR systems produced. This in-house capability is unique in the industry, and ensures the highest level of system integration between engine and aftertreatment. Utilizing SCR allows for the reduction of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) to be focused within the exhaust, rather than during in-cylinder combustion, leaving much higher performance thresholds in-cylinder, and avoiding the need to make major changes to the external engine platform.

Cummins Tier 4 Final QSK50 with SCR aftertreatment for fracturing will be on display in Cummins Booth 4273. The Tier 4 Final QSK50 was certified a full six months ahead of the January 1, 2015, Tier 4 Final effective date. Cummins has had Tier 4 Final QSK50 engines in the field actively operating a complete fracturing spread since 2015.

Also on display will be a Tier 4 Final QSK50 drilling power module.

CUMMINS QSK95 ON DISPLAY FOR FIRST TIME AT ASIA PACIFIC MARITIME

16 March 2016

MARINA BAY SANDS, Singapore – Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI), a leading manufacturer of diesel engines and generator sets for the marine industry, has unveiled the QSK95 at Asia Pacific Maritime. This marks the first time Cummins largest diesel engine has been displayed for the Asian maritime market.

Today, Cummins offers propulsion and auxiliary power solutions from 75 kW to 2013 kW (100-2700 hp) and generator sets from four to 1240 kWe, designed specifically for the challenges of marine applications. The launch of the QSK95 – Cummins newest, largest and most powerful engine to-date – will increase the company’s marine power range by 50 percent. This makes the QSK95 an ideal solution for high-hour, hardworking vessels such as tugs, inland waterway towboats, offshore support vessels and crewboats, passenger ferries, patrol vessels and superyachts.

With engineering work now complete on the marine configuration, Cummins can share more details regarding the features that distinguish the QSK95 from medium-speed engines offering similar power output. The QSK95 offers the benefits of smaller size, lower weight and better transient response while delivering a new level of serviceability.

With ratings from 2386 kW to 3132 kW (3200-4200 hp), the QSK95 achieves a power output previously available only from larger medium-speed marine engines, while bringing the advantages of a lower capital cost and a more compact installation. The QSK95 provides 95 liters of displacement in a 78-liter package. Nested cylinders and a 60-degree V enable a short, narrow engine block relative to other engines of comparable displacement. Even with the compact package size, the QSK95 provides best-in-class power density. In addition, the QSK95 weighs in just over 13,000 kg (28,660 lb) – this is between 25 percent and 70 percent less than medium-speed platforms of similar power output.

As operators continue to seek better vessel maneuverability, the QSK95 delivers faster transient response through a unique turbo arrangement and a dry system. By using one turbo per four cylinders, the QSK95 is able to utilize a small turbo model. The dry turbo housings and dry exhaust manifold maximize the available energy to the turbos, allowing them to spool up quickly, resulting in fast engine response.

Cummins design, validation and service teams devoted countless hours to ensuring that the QSK95 sets industry serviceability standards. From the early phases of engine design, qualified technicians participated in service tool and procedure validation, evaluating for safety, ergonomics, durability, reliability and repair quality robustness, and to reduce the cost and time of repairs. Design concepts were also evaluated for progressive damage prevention. Initial feedback from technicians servicing QSK95 engines in the field has confirmed that the focus on serviceability will provide considerable payback over the life of the engines.

At launch, the QSK95 will meet global International Maritime Organization (IMO) Tier II emissions standards with highly efficient fuel injection and clean combustion. It is manufactured at the Seymour Engine Plant in Seymour, Indiana, and will begin limited production in 2017. Like all Cummins marine products, the QSK95 is supported by Cummins global distributor and dealer network – one of the broadest and most extensive in the world. It is backed by a one-year warranty, and is available with extended warranty options.

The QSK95 will be on display at Asia Pacific Maritime from March 16 to 18, where customers can speak with product experts and obtain additional product information in Stand Nos. D-S26 and T26.
