WinGD, a leading engine manufacturer, is bolstering its X‑DF engine with cutting-edge technologies to elevate efficiency and sustainability in maritime operations.
Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) Technology:
- Introduced in June, VCR optimizes engine compression ratio dynamically based on fuel type and engine load.
- Delivers fuel and emissions savings in both gas and diesel modes, enabling cost-effective fuel choices for operators.
On-Engine iCER Technology
- Compact combustion control solution for emissions and fuel efficiency improvements.
- Already adopted by LNG carriers; available from the start of the ordering phase, chosen for additional vessels.
Key Achievements and Impact:
- With over six million running hours, the X‑DF engine is the longest-established low-pressure dual-fuel two-stroke engine.
- Of 700 X‑DF engines delivered/on order, nearly 500 power LNG carriers, showcasing market preference.
- Internal evaluations highlight system-wide benefits, including reduced LNG consumption, lower emissions, and enhanced operational cost-effectiveness.
WinGD’s commitment to innovation positions the X‑DF engine as a front-runner, contributing to a greener and more efficient future in maritime propulsion.
