April 13th 2007 12:11
The Wärtsilä RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine is currently considered the largest reciprocating engine in the world, designed for large container ships, running on cheap, heavy fuel oil. It is five stories high (13.5m), 27 m long and weighs over 2300 tons in its largest 14 cylinders version producing more than 80 MW (109,000 hp). It was put into service in September 2006 aboard the Emma Mærsk which is the largest container ship ever built.
