Fairbanks Morse 48/60 CR engine

The Fairbanks Morse 48/60 CR is a large four-stroke medium-speed diesel engine with electronic common rail fuel injection, built and sold by Fairbanks Morse Defense under licence from Everllence, formerly MAN Energy Solutions, whose own designation is the MAN 48/60CR. The bore is 480 millimetres and the stroke 600 millimetres, displacing 108.6 litres per cylinder, and the maker offers inline 6, 7, 8 and 9 cylinder and V 12, 14 and 16 cylinder versions with a power range of 7,200 to 19,200 kilowatts, rated at 500 revolutions a minute for propulsion and 514 for 60 hertz generator drive. The maker calls it the four-stroke heart of medium and large diesel power, versatile for propulsion and auxiliary use, with excellent fuel efficiency, low emissions and integrated self-diagnosis functions. MAN's own data sheet gives a cylinder output of 1,200 kilowatts.
