In its early years, Detroit Diesel had used a two-stroke diesel engine. Having two-stroke diesel engines meant that the engines completed combustion and exhaust cycles in just two strokes. However, the introduction of clean emission mandates rendered these Detroit Diesel engines obsolete. Yet, Detroit Diesel still holds the title of pioneering the manufacturing of such marine engine electronic controls which are still used in modern marine engines till today.
While some marine engines by Detroit Diesel have gone out of production, here are three types of Detroit Diesel engines for sale in the market.
Detroit Diesel Series 60
The Detroit Diesel Series 60 has been, and still is, considered one of the most reliable and consistent marine diesel engines ever developed. The Detroit Diesel Series 60 is the primary power plant of choice for several different boat vendors, due to their unparalleled dependability and power in the marine industry. These marine diesel engines have longer effective lifespans than their competitors when maintained and tuned-up properly. This diesel engine has proven its worth in the recreational and commercial boating communities and continues to do so with its durability and dependability.
All Detroit Diesel Series 60 marine diesel engines use some form of DDEC control. DDEC I, DDEC II, DDEC III, and DDEC IV regulate the timing and amount of fuel delivered to every cylinder. These powerful systems are in charge of monitoring multiple core functions for your marine diesel engine regardless of the DDEC model.
The DDEC system was also created to be user-friendly for users of all skill levels. For one, there are orange and red lights depending on the severity of the warning level, as well as annunciators to alert users to abnormal engine conditions. As such, it is evident that Series 60 has stayed popular ever since its debut. The Detroit Diesel Series 60 is fully equipped with the most cutting-edge safety features available in the marine diesel industry.
Detroit Diesel Series 71
The Detroit Diesel Series 71 had been the flagship engine of the Detroit Diesel Engine Division when it launched in 1938, with the V-type following in 1957. It had been a popular machine for very many years before production halted in 1995. While new Series 71 engines are no longer being manufactured, these powerful pieces of equipment are still in use today. The V model can have as many as 24 cylinders, whilst the inline models are able to have up to 6 cylinders in each engine. Regardless of the cylinder configurations available in Series 71, Detroit Diesel parts have always been highly interchangeable as they all have the same construction characteristics.
All cylinders are derived from a 4.25 inch bore and 5.00 inch stroke, and have 71 cubic inches of displacement. This is ideal for engine maintenance and repair because parts are readily available and its designs are well-known to the majority of mechanics and engineers. Series 71 also offers turbocharged or turbocharged/aftercooled models, both of which are excellent engines for powering larger machinery. As a result, these models have been widely used in both the marine and military industries to provide power to large vehicles and machinery.
The Series 71 engine is a two-stroke engine, which suggests that it integrates the usual four cycles into two strokes for one engine revolution, including intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust.
Detroit Diesel Series 110
The Detroit Diesel Series 110, launched in 1945 as a more powerful alternative to Series 71 already in use, has an engine equipped with 110 cubic inches of displacement per cylinder. It has been used in a broad array of applications, including construction machinery and power generation. It had been additionally widely used in Euclid construction equipment and its use in the marine market also kick-started in 1951.
The Series 110 is a two-stroke cycle diesel engine series with 6 cylinders inline. In 1945, it was presented as the 2nd mass-market product of General Motors' Detroit Diesel Engine Division.
The 6-110 series engines utilize uniflow scavenging, which entails that a blower mounted on the engine's exterior provides intake air at slightly higher than atmospheric pressure through cored passages in the engine block and ports in the cylinder walls
