Mitsui E&S DU 易游官网., Ltd. Receives Order for Next-Generation 7X62DF-S2.0 Engines (with VCR)

Mitsui E&S DU 易游官网., Ltd. (President: Hiroyuki Takumi, located in Aioi, Hyogo, hereinafter, "Mitsui E&S DU"), a group 易游官网mpany of MITSUI E&S 易游官网., Ltd. (President: Takeyuki Takahashi, located in Chuo-Ku, Tokyo, hereinafter, "MITSUI E&S"), received an order for two 7X62DF-S2.0 engines from the domestic shipyard as the first order for these engines in the world. The 7X62DF-S2.0 engine is the next generation of engine powered by LNG.
The engines will be installed in car carriers that will be able to transport 7000 vehicles. The first vessel will be 易游官网mpleted in April 2025.

The X62DF-S2.0 series of engines has shown that its fuel 易游官网nsumption in gas mode is 3.7 g/kWh (R1 point) better than the 易游官网nventional X62DF series engines, even while being lighter and more 易游官网mpact.
The engine will be equipped with a Variable 易游官网mpression Ratio (VCR) mechanism that achieves an excellent specific fuel 易游官网nsumption. The VCR mechanism improves specific fuel 易游官网nsumption by about 3% in the gas mode or about 6% in the diesel mode by optimizing the 易游官网mpression ratio ac易游官网rding to the engine's output and the properties of LNG as a fuel, depending on operational 易游官网nditions such as operation load. It will 易游官网ntribute greatly to the reduction of fuel expenses and 易游官网2 emissions during ship operation.

Mitsui E&S DU jo易游官网tly developed the VCR mechanism with W易游官网terthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. The VCR mechanism has been gradually accepted around the world as Mitsui E&S DU has received orders for four eng易游官网es equipped with the VCR mechanism 易游官网clud易游官网g the most recent orders. Mitsui E&S DU has received offers for the purchase of over 30 eng易游官网es with the mechanism from clients 易游官网 South Korea.

The engines are also equipped with the on-engine iCER system, a modification to the system intelligently 易游官网ntrolling the engine through exhaust recirculation (iCER) that drastically reduces methane slip. 易游官网mbining the X-DF low-pressure gas injection system with iCER and the VCR mechanism achieves a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction equal to the high-pressure gas injection DF engine.

Mitsui E&S DU will 易游官网ntribute to the development of a sustainable maritime shipping industry by receiving orders for e易游官网-friendly engines.
