The Cummins CCEC NTA855 marine diesel engine is a heavy-duty powerplant designed to withstand the harsh conditions of marine environments.
To maximize its power output and efficiency, a turbocharger is employed. A turbocharger is a forced induction device that compresses the incoming air into the engine's cylinders, allowing for more fuel to be burned and, consequently, more power to be produced.
Turbo Kit Components:
The Turbo Kit for the NTA855 engine comprises four key components with the following part numbers:
3529040: This is the primary turbocharger unit. It is responsible for compressing air and delivering it to the engine's intake manifold. The 3529040 turbocharger is designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures encountered in marine applications.
3009426: This component is the turbocharger oil supply line. It ensures that the turbocharger is adequately lubricated to prevent overheating and reduce wear and tear on moving parts. Proper lubrication is essential for the longevity of the turbocharger.
3018067: The 3018067 is the turbocharger oil drain line. It allows the oil that has been used for lubrication to flow back into the engine's oil system, ensuring a continuous and efficient oil circulation.
3803270: This is the gasket set for the turbocharger. Gaskets are crucial for creating a tight seal between the turbocharger and the engine, preventing any leaks that could lead to a loss of boost pressure and decreased engine performance.
Specifications and Benefits:
Turbocharger Type: The turbocharger in this kit is likely a fixed-geometry turbocharger, which offers good performance across a wide range of engine speeds.
Boost Pressure: The turbocharger kit is designed to provide a specific boost pressure, ensuring optimal air-fuel mixture for combustion, which results in increased power and reduced emissions.
Materials and Durability: These components are constructed from high-quality materials to withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater and the demanding conditions of marine operation.
Performance Enhancement: The addition of a turbocharger to the NTA855 engine significantly enhances its performance, allowing it to operate efficiently at various load levels and speeds.
Fuel Efficiency: Turbocharging increases the engine's efficiency by allowing it to extract more power from the same amount of fuel. This translates to improved fuel economy, a crucial factor for marine applications where fuel costs can be substantial.
Reduced Emissions: The improved combustion efficiency resulting from turbocharging can lead to lower emissions, contributing to compliance with environmental regulations.
