K 73106 – Impeller for Raw Water Pump

Written by

The impeller K 73106 is a critical rotating component of the raw water pump in the Sulzer/Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda ZV40/48 engine, responsible for generating the flow needed to circulate cooling seawater through the engine’s heat exchange system. Precision-machined for optimal hydraulic efficiency, the impeller ensures consistent water delivery even under varying engine loads. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials to withstand continuous exposure to seawater and mechanical stress, K 73106 supports stable engine temperatures, prevents overheating, and contributes directly to the reliability and longevity of the cooling system in demanding marine and industrial environments.

The expansion joint, code P51913-01, plays a critical role in compensating for thermal expansion and mechanical movement within the MAN L21/31 engine’s piping or exhaust systems. Designed to absorb axial, lateral, and angular displacement, it protects connected components from stress, fatigue, and cracking caused by temperature changes and vibration. Its robust and flexible design ensures long-term durability, reduces structural loads on adjoining equipment, and supports safe, efficient engine operation under continuous high-load marine and industrial conditions.
