MTU 396 Parts List
The MTU 396 is a high-performance diesel engine series developed by MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH (Germany), renowned for its reliability, efficiency,
and versatility across marine, industrial, defense, and power generation applications.
Technical Features:
Modular Design：Quick-replaceable modular components minimize maintenance costs and downtime.
Efficient Combustion System：Integrated turbocharging and intercooling achieve industry-leading fuel efficiency, with some models consuming as low as 5.0 g/kWh at low speeds.
Advanced Materials & Manufacturing：Special aluminum alloys and precision machining ensure lightweight construction (e.g., 16V396TE94 weighs 6,500 kg) and extended service life.
Intelligent Control System：Full-digital management system (MDEC) monitors real-time performance to optimize power output and emissions.
Dual-Circuit Cooling：Separate high- and low-temperature cooling loops maintain stable operation of critical components (e.g., turbochargers, cylinder heads) under extreme conditions.
Key Models & Specifications:
◦ 12V396TB93：V12 cylinder, 47.45 L displacement, 1,920 kW (2,900 hp) at 2,100 rpm, ideal for high-speed vessels and gensets.
◦ 16V396TE94：V16 cylinder, 2,240 kW (3,045 hp) at 2,000 rpm, featuring sequential turbocharging for heavy trucks and industrial drives.
◦ 16V396SE84：V16 cylinder, 1,350 kW (1,836 hp), designed for submarines with low noise and high stealth capabilities.
Applications:
Marine Propulsion：Primary power for missile boats (e.g., Israeli “Sa’ar 4.5”), patrol vessels (e.g., China’s “Victory” class for Iraq), and submarines (e.g., Thailand’s S26T project).
Industrial & Power Generation：Drives high-pressure pumps and compressors, and serves as backup power for hospitals and data centers.
Defense Systems：Supplies power to military vehicles and mobile generators, meeting combat demands in harsh environments.
Rail & Construction Machinery：Used in locomotives and excavators, delivering high torque (e.g., 12V396TC14 with 10,160 N・m).Environmental Compliance:
◦ Select models (e.g., 12V396TB93) comply with IMO Tier II and EPA Tier 3 standards, reducing NOx emissions by over 30%.
◦ Efficient catalytic converters and optimized combustion strategies ensure low particulate matter (PM) emissions.
Maintenance & Reliability:
◦ Engine lifespan exceeds 20,000 hours, with wear-resistant components (e.g., piston rings, bearings) minimizing replacement frequency.
◦ Flexible maintenance intervals (e.g., every 500 hours or annually) reduce operational costs.
