The main starting valve - TDI plays a critical role in the MAN L21/31 engine’s starting system by regulating the supply of compressed air to the engine’s cylinders during startup. This valve controls air flow with precision to ensure a smooth and reliable engine start, preventing damage and promoting longevity. Its reliable operation is essential for efficient engine ignition, especially in demanding marine and industrial applications.

The coupling flange is an essential connection part in the MAN L21/31 engine that joins the engine shaft to auxiliary equipment such as pumps or generators. This flange ensures secure mechanical linkage and alignment, enabling efficient power transmission and minimizing vibrations and mechanical stress. Its robust construction is vital for maintaining reliability in heavy-duty engine operations.

The cylinder liner is a fundamental component of the MAN L21/31 engine’s combustion chamber. It provides a durable, replaceable surface within the cylinder block where the piston operates, protecting the engine block from wear and heat damage. The liner’s precision engineering ensures optimal sealing and heat transfer, which are critical for maintaining engine efficiency, reducing friction, and extending the engine’s service life.

The coupling halves identified by code K 72120 form a mechanical link between the drive shaft and the geared pump in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Designed to transmit torque smoothly and absorb minor misalignments, these coupling halves ensure reliable power transfer under high load and continuous use. Their precise fit and robust construction help maintain the integrity of the pump assembly, contributing to the overall reliability and efficiency of critical systems such as lubrication or fuel delivery.
