MAN V12X – The exciting new engine

The “X” stands for the neXt generation of engines from MAN Engines with eXtra displacement – 30 litres – and an eXcellent power-to-weight ratio.

The MAN V12X will be the first to join the engine portfolio in the MAN V12X-2200 model. In concrete terms, this means:

  • 2200 hp (1618 kW)
  • 29.6 l displacement
  • 7350 Nm torque
  • 74.3 hp (54.6 kW) per litre displacement

The next generation of engines from MAN Engines

MAN engines are synonymous with robustness. To meet our high standards of durability and reliability, at MAN Engines we have fundamentally revised the next generation of MAN V12X engines.

“The MAN V12X marks the start of the neXt generation of yacht engines. We are acknowledging this milestone in engine technology with the new name V12X and giving the distinctive engine cover an X design. The redesign of the MAN V12X is accompanied by more displacement for shipyards. As always, we have retained the excellent power-to-weight ratio that MAN engines are known for.”

New possibilities and new applications

  • neXt-generation engine
    The MAN V12X yacht engine. A new generation on a completely new basic engine. With the same standards of quality and robustness.
  • eXtra displacement
    The 30-litre displacement and 2200 hp (1618 kW) of the MAN V12X open up new possibilities in yacht construction.
  • eXcellent power-to-weight ratio
    The V12X follows MAN Engines’ guiding principle of building compact and powerful engines.

An overview of the main design features

/
New engine ventilation

New engine ventilation

for optimum separation of the oil withinthe closed crankcase ventilation system.

/
New thermostat housing

New thermostat housing

for optimised coolant supply.

/
New coolant pump

New coolant pump

for optimised coolant supply. This ensures the usual long service life of MAN engines.

/
New oil cooler

New oil cooler

for optimum cooling of the oil even at high outputs.

/
New camshaft

New camshaft

for optimised combustion with the usual low specific fuel consumptions typical of MAN.

/
New oil-pump

New oil-pump

In addition to fluidic optimisations, new oil pumps and new oil coolers have also been installed, in order to adjust the oil circulation volumes to the high outputs.

/
New crankshaft

New crankshaft

with increased bearing diameters.

/
Reinforced crankcase

Reinforced crankcase

with drill hole increased to 138 mm and stroke increased to 165 mm.

/
New conrods

New conrods

for the transmission of the higher combustion forces.

/
New pistons

New pistons

due to increased displacement and for optimisation of combustion.

/
New cylinder heads

New cylinder heads

flow- and cooling-optimised, so as to be able to handle the high outputs.

/
New valve train

New valve train

for optimum gas exchange even at the highest outputs.

/
Hydraulic valve lash adjuster

Hydraulic valve lash adjuster

fitted as standard for the first time for marine engines. Regular checking and adjusting of the valve clearance is unnecessary.

/
2200 bar injection system

2200 bar injection system

The impressively high injection pressure is the basis for the low fuel consumptions and outstanding raw emissions typical of MAN engines.
