Seven classification societies give nod to HHI’s methanol engine
The HD Hyundai Heavy Industries – Engine & Machinery (HD HHI-EMD) announced that it has completed the development of methanol dual fuel HiMSEN H22CDF-LM engine.
According to the company, HD HHI-EMD has successfully completed the Type Approval Test (TAT) of the methanol dual fuel HiMSEN engine (model name: H22CDF-LM) at their Techno center, 19 to 22 March, with seven classification member including KR (Korea), ABS (USA), BV (France), DNV (Norway), NK (Japan), LR (UK), RINA (Italy).
The engine that selectively uses diesel and methanol can produce 1,440 ~ 2,160kW output and the engine is greatly improved the effectiveness of installation & management, engine efficiency compared to its existing engine with the e-HBU (electro-Hydraulic Boosting Unit) that is independently developed methanol boosting unit.
HD HHI-EMD expects to expand its market into various vessel types through this TAT such as feeder container, tanker, and bulk carriers. The TAT of the HiMSEN ammonia DF engine, which is in the spotlight as another eco-friendly fuel, is also scheduled to be conducted in the second half of this year, and it is expected to solidify its position as a first mover of the eco-friendly fuel engine market by ultra-gap technology.
