The Bergen B32:40 engine

Built on proven performance

Since 1943, we have developed, manufactured and installed
more than 5,000 Bergen medium-speed diesel engines for
marine propulsion and auxiliary power generation.
Our engines have rapidly, reliably and economically met the
needs of ship owners and operators worldwide.
... built on proven performance

During nearly 60 years of operation, more than 5,000

Rolls-Royce four-stroke medium-speed engines for marine
propulsion and power generation have been delivered to
customers around the world.

Rolls-Royce reciprocating engines are in operation worldwide,

installed in commercial and military vessels, cruise ships, fishing
vessels and in support vessels for the offshore oil industry. Specifiy the
Rolls-Royce Marine also provides offshore Bergen B32:40 engine for
installations and land based power stations your next project.
for municipal and industrial applications.

The Bergen B32:40 is a powerful and

reliable diesel engine based on traditional
strengths, which has always been evident
in our well proven BR – and BV models. A
combination of high performance, reliability
and cost-effective operation has always been
reflected in the application of Rolls-Royce Marine engines.

For the marine market we provide the Bergen B32:40 with

outputs from 2,880-9,000kW in 6 to 9 cylinder In-line
configuration or 12 to 18 cylinder Vee configuration.

The Bergen B32:40 is developed to meet your requirements

regarding power, reliability, flexibility and easy maintenance.

Major investments in the development of new products and

equipment, enables Rolls-Royce to meet the challenges the
market puts to a specialised supplier of medium-speed diesel The company is located in Bergen on the western coast of
and gas engines. Right from the start, back in 1943, we have Norway and employs 600 people.

The B32:40 – your first choice in the 3,000-9,000kW range

Why choose the B32:40?

Extensive experience No heavy fuel will clog the fuel pump

The B32:40 is built on a wealth of experience. We work with the
latest analysis and development tools, materials and
component technology to produce a reliable engine with low
wear, high availability and long overhaul intervals.
Low fuel oil consumption
The latest generation turbochargers and the newest fuel
injection technology are applied in order to lower the fuel
consumption towards the 180g/kWh mark.
Low lubrication oil consumption
A specifically developed piston-ring pack and a carbon cutting
ring reduces the lube oil consumption to the absolute
minimum.
A specially designed cleaning/lubrication system cleans the
moving parts. This eliminates problems caused by fuel rack
sticking.
Low down time due to:
Low wear and tear – Closely controlled operating thermal
loads, plateau honed surface cylinder liners and piston ring-
grooves, together with coated piston rings and new exhaust
valve seats, ensure low wear figures. This means long
component lifetime and low spare part consumption.
Good accessibility and easy overhaul – Excellent access is
provided for all maintenance work. Special tools, such as
hydraulic tightening jacks for important bolt connections,
reduce downtime.

No leakage of fuel to lubricating oil system Uniform machinery

We have designed a unique deflector/collector system. Most engine parts are identical for In-line and
Consequently fuel leakage is drained away and prevented from Vee-configuration, making the B32:40 engine ideal for a uniform
reaching the lubricating oil system. machinery layout. This results in considerable simplification of
maintenance and spare parts stock to the end user.

High efficiency and low emissions

All our engines comply with the requirements of the Technical IMO/NOx emission limit

Highly reliable operation on low cost heavy fuel oil

The Bergen B32:40 engine is designed for Marine Diesel Oil

(MDO) and Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) operation. For safe and
cost-effective operation our engines are equipped with a
range of HFO-specific advantages.

 A common problem running on HFO at

low load is poor combustion and carbon

controlled charge-air temperature, high
injection pressures and optimised valve
timing to ensure excellent low-load
