Worldwide first YCMP- Wärtsilä 5RT-flex 50DF low-pressure dual fuel engine draws wide attention of the public

In December 7, 2015, YCMP-W by rtsil by RT-flex50DF dual fuel two stroke engine in ship dynamic Yuchai type approval test (TAT), the whole trial lasted for five days. ABS, CCS, BV, DNV-GL, KR, LR, NK, RINA, the world's 8 ship level to participate in this type of test.
RT-flex50DF system is a new generation of low pressure common rail dual fuel engine, the host computer can run in gas mode stability in the whole range of load, fuel and gas mode can directly switch smoothly, based on gas circulation under the mode of Alto, type the host without any postprocessing measures can meet the International Maritime Organization (IMO) emission standard III Tier.
