K 74149 – Shaft Seal for K 74123

Written by

The shaft seal K 74149 is a high-performance sealing component designed specifically for the rotating assembly of part K 74123 in the ZV40/48 engine. Engineered to withstand high rotational speeds, thermal changes, and exposure to fuel and lubricants, this seal maintains a reliable barrier that prevents fluid escape and protects internal components from contamination. Its robust elastomeric construction ensures long service life, reduces wear, and supports smooth, efficient operation of the shaft mechanism, making it essential for maintaining the overall integrity of the assembly.

The tapered connection sleeve K 84469 is a precision-engineered coupling element used to secure the visual flow control device within the Sulzer/Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda ZV40/48 engine’s fluid monitoring system. Its conical design ensures a tight, vibration-resistant seal that maintains optimal visibility and prevents leakage even under fluctuating pressures and temperatures. Manufactured for durability and accurate alignment, this sleeve plays a crucial role in ensuring that operators receive clear, uninterrupted visual feedback on fluid movement, thereby improving diagnostic accuracy and enhancing operational safety.

The cooling water pipe connections, code P51630-12, form an integral part of the MAN L21/31 engine’s cooling circuit, ensuring secure and leak-free transport of coolant throughout the engine block and auxiliary systems. Engineered for durability and corrosion resistance, these connections maintain reliable coolant flow, preventing overheating and supporting consistent temperature regulation. Their precise fit and high-quality sealing help safeguard the engine against thermal damage, making them crucial for long-term efficiency and operational stability in both marine and land-based installations.

The lubricating oil cooler, code P51506-22, is a vital heat-exchange component in the MAN L21/31 engine, responsible for maintaining the correct operating temperature of the lubricating oil. By cooling the oil as it circulates through the engine, the cooler prevents overheating, preserves oil viscosity, and ensures stable lubrication across all moving parts. Its robust construction and thermal efficiency are essential for protecting bearings, pistons, and gear systems from thermal stress, making it indispensable for engines operating in demanding marine environments or high-load industrial applications.
