 Advantages of RT-flex / W-X
Ø Drastic smoke reduction at part load
Ø Possibilities to reduce torsional vibration
Ø Reduced fuel consumption at part load
Ø Possibilities to reduce emissions
Ø Lower minimum engine speed
Ø Better maneuverability
Ø Easy engine de-rating
Ø Individual tunings
Ø High precision on related systems (Cyl. Lub.)
