In this paper, WinGD experts will elaborate how the experience and knowledge gained from the mid-size X-DF engines (such as X62DF & X72DF) were scaled up and adapted in the development of WinGD’s largest X-DF engine, namely the 12X92DF (see Fig. 1 below). In particular, it will highlight the specific challenges connected with the engine size.
It will also present how the Dual Fuel engine market has developed over time to include also the ultra large container vessel segment, creating the need for such large Dual Fuel engines as the 12X92DF.
It also gives an insight on the development of the latest generation engine control system, which took place in parallel with the engine development.
In addition, engine test results will be briefly summarized, as well as the service experience gained so far.
