Scania DI16 - Engine - Installation

The Scania DI16 is a heavy-duty diesel engine manufactured by Scania, a Swedish company known for producing trucks, buses, and engines for industrial and marine applications. The "DI16" likely refers to a 16-liter displacement engine within Scania's lineup.

Scania Marine engines DI09, DI13, DI16 are renowned for their durability, efficiency, and power, making them popular choices for various heavy-duty applications, including trucks, buses, construction equipment, and marine vessels. The DI16 engine, as with other Scania engines, is designed to meet stringent emissions standards while delivering reliable performance and fuel efficiency.

Design requirements
The type of engine suspension that is appropriate varies for different engine installations. In general, the following applies:

  1. The engine suspension should be designed for the forces it is exposed to, both continuously and momentarily during operation. Such forces are reaction forces from the transmitted torque and in some cases longitudinal acceleration, retardation and reaction forces in the engine.
  2. For engines with marine transmission, Scania recommends a 6-point suspension or common rear suspension for pipes, transmission and engine.
  3. Both the engine suspension and the engine bed should be designed so that there are no resonant oscillations within the engine speed range. They should also be designed so that annoying vibrations from the engine are not transmitted to the surroundings.
  4. The engine suspension and engine bed should be designed in a manner which allows access for maintenance and repair work.
  5. The engine bed location and the engine suspension must be designed so that the permissible angles of inclination for the engine are not exceeded. See the table Permissible installation and operating angles.

Flexible engine suspension
Flexible engine suspension dampens vibrations more effectively than rigid engine suspension. It prevents extreme movement between engine and engine bed during violent ship movement. Flexible engine suspension can also absorb some level of reaction force from the propeller. Flexible engine suspension does not require such careful alignment of the engine as rigid engine suspension. However, flexible engine suspension does not absorb longitudinal and lateral forces in the engine to the same extent as rigid engine suspension.
