The Wärtsilä 16V32 LN-CR, manufactured in 2004, is a high-performance, four-stroke, turbocharged and intercooled diesel generating set engineered for demanding marine and industrial power applications. With a robust 16-cylinder V-configuration, this genset delivers about 6.3 MWe of output at 720 rpm, making it ideal for heavy-duty auxiliary power operations or base-load generation. The unit is coupled with an ABB synchronous, brushless alternator, all mounted on a rigid, single base frame for ease of transport and simplified installation. Though originally installed in a vessel, the engine has been lightly used in several instances, and major auxiliaries, including turbochargers, governors, and transfer pumps, are in good condition and stored appropriately.
This Wärtsilä model benefits from the proven Wärtsilä 32 series design, which features a 320 mm bore and 400 mm stroke system, allowing efficient combustion across a range of fuel types (Heavy Fuel Oil, Light Diesel Oil etc.). Its structural design includes durable components such as centrifugally cast cylinder liners, high-wear piston rings, and a dual cooling water circuit (high-temperature and low-temperature) for improved thermal management. Combined with high electrical efficiency (typically ≈47 % at rated output depending on fuel), the 16V32 LN-CR is a popular choice for operators who prioritize reliability, fuel flexibility, and long service intervals.
For potential buyers or end users, key selling points include the genset’s solid build, availability of spare parts, and ease of maintaining service standards. Though installed in 2004, with proper maintenance and inspection, these engines continue to offer competitive life-cycle costs. Additionally, the full scope of delivery often includes necessary auxiliaries like water/lube oil coolers, fuel & oil transfer pumps, control & starter panels, which can reduce lead times and setup cost for new installations.
