As part of the engine’s mechanical damping system, the buffer disc is crucial for long-term stability and smooth performance under demanding industrial conditions.
The worm gear with code number K 32322 is a key part of the barring engine mechanism in the Sulzer ZV40/48 system. The barring engine is used for manually rotating the crankshaft during maintenance or positioning operations. This worm gear provides the necessary mechanical advantage to ensure smooth and controlled movement of the crankshaft at low speeds. Crafted for durability and accurate meshing, it ensures safe handling of the engine during inspection or repair phases, significantly reducing risk and wear.
The main rocker arm, coded K 28005, is a critical component in the valve actuation system of the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. It transmits motion from the camshaft to the engine's valves, ensuring precise opening and closing for optimal air-fuel mixture and exhaust gas flow. This complete assembly is engineered to endure the intense mechanical loads and high-speed operations characteristic of large diesel engines. Its design emphasizes strength, durability, and precision, making it indispensable for consistent engine performance and fuel efficiency.
The sealing component identified by code number K 11825 is designed specifically for the blind flange K 11816 in the Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine, produced under Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda licensing. Its function is to ensure an airtight and pressure-resistant seal that prevents leaks of gases or fluids at flange terminations. Constructed from heat- and pressure-resistant materials, this seal is essential for maintaining engine safety and operational efficiency, especially in high-stress marine or industrial environments. Timely replacement during routine maintenance ensures continued integrity and protection of surrounding engine components.
The valve seat for the crankcase vent, designated with code number K 16040, is a critical sealing interface within the ZV40/48 engine’s ventilation system. This component ensures a tight and secure fit for the crankcase vent valve, which is responsible for regulating internal pressure and releasing gases safely. Made from wear-resistant materials, the valve seat withstands constant exposure to heat and vapors, maintaining efficiency and preventing leakage. Its function is essential not only for engine performance but also for maintaining environmental compliance by minimizing emissions from the crankcase.
The side cover for the engine frame, labeled K 16101, plays a vital role in enclosing and protecting internal components of the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. This robust cover shields sensitive parts from dirt, debris, and external impacts, while also supporting the structural integrity of the engine housing. Precision-engineered to fit seamlessly within the engine frame, it also aids in sound dampening and thermal insulation. Its maintenance and proper installation are essential for operational safety and engine longevity, especially in challenging industrial and marine environments.
The cover on the flywheel side, identified by code number K 16271, is a protective and structural component of the Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda/Sulzer ZV40/48 diesel engine. It serves to enclose and shield the flywheel mechanism from external contaminants and physical damage while also supporting the overall rigidity of the engine structure. Designed for durability under continuous operation, this cover ensures safe access during inspections and contributes to the clean and controlled operation of the flywheel system. Its reliable sealing also helps maintain the internal pressure environment crucial for efficient engine performance.
