The C-series engine and genset have a simple and robust design with a reduced number of components. It is a modern engine at an early phase of its design life. Introduced at 300kW/cyl., it is now rated at 330kW/cyl. and is equally suitable for main propulsion, either with mechanical transmission or in a diesel electric system, or as a marine generating set.

With 6, 8 and 9 cylinders in-line, the Bergen C-series has a range of operating speeds from 720rpm to 1,000rpm and can be supplied for powers of 1,920 to 3,000kW.

Key features

• Extremely stable electrical frequency, important for frequency sensitive equipment
• Low vibration/structural noise level due to super-resilient mounting
• Certified to meet IMO Tier II requirements
• Competitive fuel and lubricating oil consumption
• No fuel oil leakage into the lubricating oil system due to the Bergen Cofferdam system
• Single-bearing alternator option for reduced genset length, and reduced cost, through elimination of flexible
• Coupling between engine and alternator
• High power to weight ratio
• The liner, piston, (incl. upper con rod) and cylinder head can be replaced as a single unit without disturbing the big end bearing, saving time and money
