The key factor in overall 149 efficiency is the ighly efficient combustion, resulting in 149" THE RIGHT ENGINES FOR TOUGH, HIGH HORSEPOWER REQUIREMENTS > irecereonstco ne ues charger then passes through the It takes a lot of engine to with- stand 14 years of the toughest field assignments in the world, Detroit Diesel 149's have done just that. They've taken on the greatest challenges and proved their real value by staying on the job, year after year. The assignments? Typically a large ore hauler, an ocean tug, a hydro-frac unit, or a high-capacity generator set. Whatever the job, these 12V and 16V workhorses provide impressive, economical performance. 149's continue to be sought- after for high horsepower appli- cations....for their distinctive performance and fuel economy features, and their remarkable durability.system. It supplies just the right amount of high work output. Briefly, here’s pw it works 1. The turbocharger, driven by hot ‘exhaust gases, draws air in, com- presses it and delivers it to the inter- fagier In the required anrount Actual — a Consump vs. Pull Le Toad” Comparisons Claims of lower fuel consumption made by competitors are tre- quently based on marginally better BSFC curves but are largely unsubstantiated in reality. ‘An important point to consider is that published fuel consumption curves always show BSFC values at rated full load conditions and these values are then applied to load factors to theoretically show calculated gal/hr advantages. This method, however, ignores real world applications where the engine operates at less than full load conditions most of the time. For example, 6 recent part load fuel consumption analysis, one that compared a competitive engine to the 16V-149TI with high efficiency components, showed * the 149 to have a clear advantage when operating at the average load factors experienced in normal uperating ranges.Blocks 4149's have two-piece block construc- tion. These cast iron, water-cooled blocks are construoted to onoase “pot type" heads. The narrow "V" angle of Series 149 engines (63.5°) provides great block strength by effectively spreading the load. In the unlikely event of a block failure, replacement of one block section is possible at a greatly reduced cost over one-pisce blocks. Rear outboard bearing support ‘The adcition of a rear outboard bearing support—similar to the front outboard bearing—provides added support for Crankshaft loads imposed by driven components. Side loading and bending are thus prevented from deflecting the crankshaft's normal revolution. Crankcase ’ pressure # monitor Standard on all 149's, this device triggers an alarm shat indicates piston Dlow-by or seal leakage, etc, And it can prevent failure and high cost repairs if the alarm is heeded. Crankshatfts The crankshaft is of two-piece construc- tion (two crankshatts that are bolted together) made from a steel forging that is heat-treated for strength and dura- bility. Fillets are induction hardened for strength. Should replacement of one crankshaft be necessary, this two-piece design greatly reduces cost over one piece crankshatts. Piston Dome The piston dome casting seam has been redesigned with a thicker section for greater strength. The upper compres- sion ring groove has been given a radius rather than a square corner, to reduce stress. ‘These durability features are de- signed to alve pistons a long service ii149 Engine Specifications.. for : Construction Applications Md nae a ee ee oocesrwwn@ soo seer) sa ts6) ——_—entiea)——_—esootrai racer “eorex 10a ast) ates) eves) —eseocea) ‘evsoT)_teoweasnmne ooo” esse) enters ewe) ——_—eastmae taruen> _asoqioork @ 900 —sesen) eaters) ema) eww) rer 107K 8 1800” —eorereny——_—eattorer”—eouebe)_voss0(7e0 Ter ueT Voorn 1900 tootense) —_eateae) 7a 0am) vaaouanrT TorteuntTaToeRm WOO —ToateSE) eats) re 8am) aasoter) 1800 (1343 KW) & 1900 105 (2657) 64(1626) 88(1727) ae 10,790 (4884) for Generator Set Applications (60 Hertz HP i 50 Hertz HP: Ratings tings" Standby Standby Length Width, Holght Wight Model 1800 RPM 1500 RPM mgm) in (mm) in (mm) ss. a) sav 7704674) cco (9821 esi2500) 5911496) Se lTosa) ——_waaUTOLA) rev4at 51190 64a 980708) seize ee(n619) SS {TeBt) 858019074) er 171677) 1018 (757) se(@aer) —et[iots) er ire9s) seo e807) vev-raatie® +800 570) 1100/6821) serosa) sainers) er (reas) es80(007), sev-1agT 151911130), 1310877) 10s 2 seireea) 85,1049) 10840149171 tev14aTt 1580 (1178) 1370 (1022) 10812094) eo(teea) sa lt6sa) —_10990(«985) tevaaon 1785109041 wero (i007) 103 (2094) 6sTT64a) —e5(1084) _10.990¢4085) "SAE Jei 6b Condens, High Nawenewet onsinw
