Large Bore Engines

Today’s modern large-bore engines are high-tech workhorses that offer a level of sophistication never seen by their predecessors.  Competition in the market, legislation and rising fuel costs have brought about major changes in the large bore engine industry.  However, manufacturers must be conservative in their approach, since the lifetime and, hence, the need to provide servicing of such an engine is typically measured in decades.

FEV offers a full range of engineering services for large bore engines, including component development, complete development support for new engines.  FEV supports its customers throughout a broad range of projects, beginning with the concept phase and continuing through the start of production.  FEV engineers use the latest design tools in addressing the ever-increasing range of demands placed on engine designers as a result of increasing sophistication in the large-bore market.

Because we support many different design platforms, we are able to support our customers using their own in-house design programs.   FEV engineers also provide state-of-the art analytical services, including rigorous structural and thermal analyses and simulations that avoid costly experimental development steps.

Mechanical development services for large bore engines are also offered by FEV, including functional and endurance testing of individual components and complete engines.  We also provide on-site engineering support to large-bore customers in all of the required design and development disciplines.

FEV also offers unique services to support our customers in the development of injection, combustion, and turbocharging systems.  We have developed a specialized single-cylinder engine for large-bore applications that is adaptable for different engine bore and stroke configurations.  The large-bore single cylinder engine can be operated with distillate fuel as well as fuel oil and gaseous fuels.

Regardless of your needs, FEV is ready and capable of supporting your programs.  Give us a call today, click on the “Contact us” link above, or select one of the related fields for more information.
