Engine Range
The Bergen marine diesel ranges are denoted by the letters C, B and K and are broadly divided by the power output as follows:
- Bergen K,
- Bergen C and;
- Bergen B32:40
for powers from 1200 – 8,000kW,
- Bergen KG 4.2 and;
- Bergen B35:40
for powers of 1190kW – 8750kW.
These engines can all burn Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) and Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO).
They achieve specific fuel consumptions of between 183 and 196g/kWh. Specific lubricant oil consumptions are of the order of 0.8g/kWh.
Two of the Bergen marine engine variants may be fuelled by natural gas.

Famous quotes containing the words engine and/or range:
“Industrial man—a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.”

how
my heart woke
to a range and measure
of song
I hadn’t known.”
