MAN turbocharger series licensed by Mitsui

At a signing ceremony in Tokyo, Mitsui E&S Machinery signed a licence agreement with MAN for 10 years, allowing Mitsui to provide the newest turbocharger technologies to the market.

Mitsui already has a longstanding partnership with MAN Energy, having licensed the company’s low-speed engines and turbochargers for decades.

”Mitsui’s philosophy entails building trust through the products and services that we offer the market and this turbocharger agreement builds on that,” said Ichiro Tanaka, CEO of Mitsui E&S. 

MAN launched its TCT turbocharger series in 2019 with the TCT40, which was followed by the TCT30, 50 and 60. Ultimately there will be six frame sizes including a TCT70 and 80.

MAN says the turbochargers have new radial compressprs and axial turbines as key components of the series., 

“Both have been developed with new design features, backed by the latest simulation technologies, resulting in a very compact and lightweight turbocharger design,” MAN says. ”

Thanks to its superior charging efficiencies, wide compressor maps and ample matching options, TCT turbochargers can easily be matched to engines. Their variability covers not only a wide range of engine-tuning options and fuel types, but also all new requirements of today’s exhaust-gas after-treatment systems for IMO Tier III operations.

For two-stroke engines, the turbochargers can be fitted to engines ranging from 5.5MW up to 24MW per turbocharger.
