HHI-EMD methanol engine gains type approval

The H32DF-LM, 4,000~6,000bhp was tested at the company’s Techno centre in Ulsan, South Korea.

The diesel/methanol genset significantly reduces GHG emissions, SOx and NOx. In addition, it prevents corrosion by using special materials and achieves stable high-power production by applying diesel cycle combustion and electronically controlled fuel injection (Common Rail) technology.

The first methanol HiMSEN engine will be delivered to the 2,100TEU container vessel that is built by Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in December. So far, 50 engines (13 vessels) have been ordered. HHI-EMD expects demand to increase.

Hyundai Heavy Industries has announced that its new engine factory can now produce 100 sets of HiMSEN engines per year. Hyundai Engine Company has a plan to supply the dual-fuel engines to the domestic and foreign major shipbuilder such as Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries.
