02sensors

What is the biggest horse power engine that uses an 02 sensor? Doesn't matter what company.

yes, it uses O2sensors

The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine is the most powerful and most efficient prime-mover in the world today. The Aioi Works of Japan's Diesel United, Ltd built the first engines and is where some of these pictures were taken.
It is available in 6 through 14 cylinder versions, all are inline engines. These engines were designed primarily for very large container ships. Ship owners like a single engine/single propeller design and the new generation of larger container ships needed a bigger engine to propel them.

The cylinder bore is just under 38" and the stroke is just over 98". Each cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 liters) and produces 7780 horsepower. Total displacement comes out to 1,556,002 cubic inches (25,480 liters) for the fourteen cylinder version.

Some facts on the 14 cylinder version:
Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length: 89 feet
Height: 44 feet
Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

Fuel consumption at maximum power is 0.278 lbs per hp per hour (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption). Fuel consumption at maximum economy is 0.260 lbs/hp/hour. At maximum economy the engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. That is, more than 50% of the energy in the fuel in converted to motion.
For comparison, most automotive and small aircraft engines have BSFC figures in the 0.40-0.60 lbs/hp/hr range and 25-30% thermal efficiency range.

Even at it's most efficient power setting, the big 14 consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour.

The 12 cylinder version, yes that entire structure is the engine...



10 cyl, cam:



10 cyl, head w/ cyl. sleeves




One word:

Impressive

[bobboinge]

Just blew me out of the water!!! Yes, I am impressed. Thank you.
I was thinking more of along the line of a street car or truck. BTW, nice clean looking ride.

Amazing.....that just made my day

Can you say "Big Un?" No one can compete on that level of BIG....

Yeah when you can stand in the head or use the lobes on the cam for a slide, that's f'n huge!

I figured as much, but couldn't resist.


I would say that any crate engine you can find will utilize the sensors, any engine that uses a computer to help it run better is going to have/need all the essential sensors.
