Low Speed Diesel Engine - Advantages

Able to develop much higher Power at lower rotational
speed.

Cheaper quality fuels can be used

Slow speed so less wear and tear of moving parts

Turning movement is more uniform, lighter flywheel can be

used.

Cost of lubricants is less.

Crosshead bearings capable of sustaining high loads.

Low Speed Diesel Engine -

disadvantages

Requires more space due

to super long strokes.

Expensive

Medium Speed Diesel Engine

300 – 1000 rpm

4 stroke, trunk piston

10 - 24 cylinders, turbocharged

Reduction gears to drive propeller

Medium Speed Diesel Engine -

Advantages
Requires less head
room.

Working parts are

fewer and less costly.

Medium Speed Diesel Engine -

disadvantages
Gudgeon pin Bearing assembly not suited for higher loads

Cost of lubricant is more

Medium speed or high speed, more wear and tear of moving

parts.

Power developed is less.

Due to 1 power stroke is every 2 revolutions the turning

movement is not so uniform. Heavier flywheel is required.

Difficulty in burning cheaper quality fuels.
