1. MAN Schiffs-Dieselmotor / MAN Marine Diesel Engine Marker
Der nach dem Zweitakt-Verfahren arbeitende Motor mit 24 Zylindern und Kraftstoffeinspritzung hat einen Hubraum von 850 L und leistet 12.600 PS. Im hellgrauen Gehäuse an der linken Stirnseite des Motors befindet sich zur Leistungssteigerung ein Turbolader.
Dieser damals hochmoderne Motortyp wurde in erster Linie zum Antrieb von Kriegsschiffen verwendet. Für einen Zerstörer wurden sechs dieser Motoren gekoppelt, wodurch sich eine Gesamtleistung von rund 75.000 PS ergab. Überlebt hat der Motor die Kriegsereignisse im MAN Werk in Augsburg. Unser Dank gilt der Firma MAN, die diesen eindrucksvollen Motor dem Museum als Schenkung überlassen hat.
