Father-and-son arrangement
When connecting two engines of different type and/or size to the same reduction gear the minimum
crankshaft distance has to be evaluated case by case. However, some general guidelines can be given:
•
It is essential to check that all engine components can be dismounted. The most critical are usually
turbochargers and charge air coolers.
•
When using a combination of in-line and v-engine, the operating side of in-line engine should face
the v-engine in order to minimize the distance between crankshafts.
•
Special care has to be taken checking the maintenance platform elevation between the engines to
avoid structures that obstruct maintenance.
