Interesting thanks, although I notice that the engine speeed is quoted in rpm, as opposed to the more usual metres per second.
Sulzer, were always known as 'dustbin engines' due to their apparent ability to burn almost anything in their two stroke diesels.
At this size, the motor will obviously be a 'crosshead' design, due primarily to the stroke and overall width of the engine.
As an aside, Gardner diesels, were producing engines with a thermal efficiency of 48% back in the sixties.
