12 Cylinder diesel engines 12V48/60 of cogeneration of Navia S.A., one of the longest-running MAN & Turbo Diesel, have reached 100,000 hours of operation in January this year. PrimeServ (MAN after-sales service organization & Turbo Diesel), a contract of integral maintenance that has been in force since the start up of engines, has been her in charge of providing the necessary service to the installation allowing you to reach this milestone.
After the launch of the engines in 1998, cogeneration of Navia and MAN PrimeServ signed the EMC maintenance contract. Since then, it has been extended to six years and is still in force. This continuity has allowed PrimeServ acquire experience in the operation in the long run of the plant and measure a large amount of data including performance metrics of the central and specific rates of wear and deterioration of the components of the engine. All this has had a great influence on the progress made in the new version of the engine, the model 48/60B.
"I remember the day when two engines MAN were unloaded for the Navia cogeneration project." From that moment I knew that it would have the solid support of a leading company like MAN. Thanks to this cooperation we have achieved the 100,000 hours of service. "Since the beginning of it, everything has improved and I am sure that we will continue with this close cooperation for many years more" stated José María García, head of the power plant.
