MAN 28/33D STC

Powerful and reliable

MAN Diesel & Turbo
Leading technology - the responsible way

MAN Diesel & Turbo is the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of low and
medium speed engines – engines from MAN Diesel & Turbo cover an estimated
50% of the power needed for all world trade. We develop two-stroke and four-
stroke engines, auxiliary engines, turbochargers and propulsion packages that are
manufactured both within the MAN Diesel & Turbo Group and at our licencees.

More than ever before, MAN Diesel & Turbo’s development focus lies in the envir­
onmental performance of our engines. Using our unrivalled grasp of large engine
technology, we aim to make our engines progressively cleaner, more powerful and
more efficient.

Our absolute commitment to reducing emissions while increasing fuel efficiency

and power density starts with our active partnership in the emissions lawmaking
process and ends with the delivery of engines that achieve an ideal synthesis of
prime mover characteristics.

 No Compromises
Efficient and clean. Compact yet powerful.
The MAN 28/33D STC represents MAN Diesel & Turbo’s synthesis of world-class
engineering and state-of-the-art technology. This engine brings highly efficient,
reliable, economical and environmentally friendly solutions to the propulsion re-
quirements of our marine customers.
For over a century, MAN Diesel & Turbo has focused
its efforts on developing and improving engines that
meet propulsion and power generation requirements.
This dedicated approach has resulted in engine types
like the MAN 28/33D STC. It has allowed MAN Diesel &
Turbo to create a whole engine range to meet a broad
scope of marine propulsion requirements, many of
which – taken together – have previously meant making
compromises. Not so with the MAN 28/33D STC, as
there’s no need to compromise. The pinnacle of so-
phisticated engineering, this range offers 12-, 16-, and
20-cylinder configurations covering power require-
ments of up to 10,000 kW per unit. It also features
the most powerful and fuel-efficient 1,000 rpm diesel
engine in the world.
Reaping the benefits
The development of the MAN 28/33D STC was not
left to chance. Fueled by extensive field experience, it
offers pioneering design options spanning an exten-
sive set of unique features. Starting with the engine’s
advanced electronic fuel injection system, customers
can rely on improved SFOC, reduced NOX and smoke
emissions, and ultimate performance.
A number of factors come together in this engine,
guaranteeing uncomplicated installation and mainten­
ance. The cooling concept includes aligned cylinder
units to eliminate water passages in the crankcase
and minimize the unit’s installed weight. Designed
with a clever 52-degree Vee angle, the inter-cooler
4 MAN 28/33D STC
assembly is centrally mounted, also contributing to
the engine’s lightweight, compact design. All this
is rounded off by the engine-mounted lubricating
oil cooler, filters, and thermostatic valves, which
were specially engineered to contribute to optimized
water-based cooling.
Another key feature is the sequential turbocharging
(STC) version for high torque at low rpm, enabled by
highly efficient MAN turbochargers. The bottom line
is that the MAN 28/33D STC is simply unbeatable in
terms of design and benefits that add tangible value
for customers.
Facts and figures: engines you can count on
The MAN 28/33D STC offers compact yet powerful
engines that set themselves apart with a high power-
to-weight ratio. All engines are fully compliant with
current environmental standards, producing NOX
emissions that fulfill IMO II and EPA TIER 2 regulations.
Maintenance costs are kept low thanks to high engine
availability. And with main overhauls only necessary
every 32,000 hours, servicing downtime is kept to a
minimum. As a result, customers can count on low
overall operating costs and best-in-class SFOC (MGO
[DMA, DMZ] acc. to ISO 8217-2010 or equivalent).
 The Pinnacle of Versatility
The MAN 28/33D STC in action

Strength at sea: Naval vessels The Pinnacle of Versatility

Compact design, powerful performance – what more
could one want for military vessels? It’s in precisely
this kind of application that the MAN 28/33D STC
really comes into its own. Robust and reliable, not only
does the engine offer strength and stealth for any mis-
sion, it also keeps downtime low for high availability.
Fast and steadfast: Ferries
Designed for up to 1,032 rpm and 10,000 kW, the
MAN 28/33D STC really moves. High speeds, fast
acceleration, continuously high power, long TBOs
– the list of powerful benefits seems endless. And with
its advanced SaCoSone control system, maintenance
costs are kept as low as can be.
One thing is certain: the MAN 28/33D STC is a highly
reliable, versatile engine. With its clever, compact de-
sign and the best power-to-weight ratio in its class, it is
the epitome of engineering excellence. The masterful
performance of this engine is not just down to ad-
vanced technology like sequential turbocharging, it
also makes a clear statement with full environmental
compliance. What’s more, the choice and arrangement
of internal components ensure that parts are still easy
to access and replace. No matter where this engine
is used, customers can count on high efficiency at
low costs.

The lap of luxury: Mega-yachts

Taking to the waters for more recreational purposes de-
mands no less peace of mind. The MAN 28/33D STC
offers tailor-made solutions for the ideal propulsion of
mega-yachts. It not only provides ultimate comfort for
passengers, but also clean, efficient, and long-lasting
operation.
