Engine Model: QSK60 and QSK60 - C
Manufacturer: Cummins
Engine Type: Heavy - duty, four - stroke, turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine. It's designed for use in heavy - duty trucks, off - highway vehicles, and industrial applications such as power generation and marine propulsion.
Performance Specifications
Power Output
Rated Power: The rated power of the QSK60 engine can range from approximately 1491 - 2013 kW (2000 - 2700 hp), depending on the specific configuration and application. The engine's high - power output makes it suitable for heavy - duty tasks.
Maximum Power: In certain situations requiring extra power, such as climbing steep grades or pulling heavy loads, the engine can provide a higher peak power output. However, continuous operation at maximum power is usually limited to avoid over - stressing the engine.
Speed
Rated RPM: Typically, the rated speed is around 1800 - 2100 revolutions per minute (RPM). This speed range is optimized for efficient power delivery and fuel economy in its intended applications.
Mechanical Specifications
Configuration
Cylinder Arrangement: V - 16 configuration (16 cylinders arranged in a V - shape). This design provides a compact footprint for the high - power output and relatively smooth operation due to its inherent balance characteristics.
Bore and Stroke: The bore diameter is usually around 159 mm and the stroke length around 190 mm. These dimensions directly influence the engine's displacement and combustion characteristics.
Displacement: The displacement of the QSK60 engine is approximately 60.2 liters. Calculated using the formula .
Weight
Dry Weight: The dry weight of the engine (without coolant, fuel, and oil) is approximately 4700 - 5000 kg. The weight can vary depending on additional components such as the turbocharger, aftercooler, and other accessories.
Wet Weight: With all fluids (coolant, fuel, and oil) filled to the recommended levels, the weight can increase to around 5000 - 5300 kg.
