GE’s L250 EPA Tier 3 inline diesel engine

GE imagination at work

GE’s marine-class engines
A history of proven performance
GE Transportation has been serving the transportation
industry for more than a century. For nearly 50
years, we have designed and built high-performance
diesel engines and have become one of the largest
manufacturers of medium-speed engines in the world.
GE Marine, a division of GE Transportation, is one of the
world’s leading manufacturers of marine products that
help tackle the most important challenges facing the
marine industry today through integrated solutions,
breakthrough technologies and process innovations.
You can rely on GE’s experience, innovation and
proven performance to help you succeed. We’ve
invested millions to ensure our engines comply with
the latest emission standards through technological
advancements that will exceed your expectations. The
L250 engine series is just one example of our dedication
to a sustainable environment and supporting our
customers with GE’s efficient, reliable and economic
diesel engines. Where applicable, the L250 engines
meet EPA Tier 3 emission standards without the need for
exhaust after treatment.
Along with the new L250 EPA Tier 3 engine, GE’s
family of medium-speed engines include 8-, 12- and
16-cylinder V configurations, all of which are EPA Tier 2
and/or IMO Tier II certified with future plans for our L250
and V250 engines to meet EPA Tier 4 and IMO Tier III
emission levels.

With more than 15,000 engines operating worldwide in
some of the most challenging industrial environments,
GE’s medium-speed engines are dependable, longlasting, durable and efficient. From tugboats in Turkey
and fishing vessels in Peru to offshore construction
vessels in Norway and ferries in Texas, GE’s marine
engines are supported by an extensive global parts,
distribution and service network.

The new

L250 EPA Tier 3 inline diesel engine
GE’s new L250 inline diesel engine offers a streamlined
design that is fuel-efficient and delivers continuous power
from 1,518 to 1,999 kW. The L250 is specifically engineered
for marine applications with its accessories mounted on
the engine for maintenance ease and offers a full-power
PTO option.
The L250 is marine-class compliant and meets U.S. EPA
Tier 3 emission requirements (certified to EPA Tier 2
during 2013) — a proactive approach to fuel savings and
emissions reduction natural to GE. Depending on the
application and duty cycle, the L250 offers an average 12%
fuel savings when compared to the V228 engine.
The engine, available in 6- and 8-cylinder models, also
offers ease of re-power as its narrow inline footprint takes
in mind marine engine room constraints where space is at
a premium. The narrower frame uses a similar footprint as
competitive engines for minimum design change.

GE designed the L250 engine based on the successful
V250 engine platform using the Six Sigma Quality
design process. Together, with flexible installation and
maintenance options, proven parts performance and
support from GE’s worldwide distribution network, the
L250 offers customers reliability and limited downtime.

L250 components — Marine class. Inline design.
Sturdy
mainframe
The L250’s
mainframe is
a rugged onepiece iron casting
which provides excellent
vibration-dampening characteristics and
long-term stability to minimize line bore
distortion. Further strength and rigidity
are added by bolting main bearing caps
both vertically and horizontally. The lube
oil gallery and passages are cast or drilled
into the frame to provide lubrication to
all vital engine areas with no pipe or hose
connections within the frame, to help
eliminate leaks or loss of lubrication.

Turbocharger
The L250 uses a new, high-efficiency,
radial flow and water-cooled turbocharger
to achieve EPA Tier 3 emissions without
sacrificing engine performance. Depending
on duty cycle and application, response
time and fuel efficiency have improved
over the L250 Tier 2 engines and fuel
consumption improved 5% to 6% at
85% of MCR.

Crankshaft and engine drive train

Power assemblies

The crankshaft is press-forged, highquality alloy steel. Oil passages drilled
in the crankshaft allow oil delivery to
connecting rod bearings and pistons. A
flywheel with ring gear for the starting
motor is bolted directly to the crankshaft
flange.

The L250’s power assemblies
are designed to meet the
high-pressure demands of
the engine while adhering to
strict reliability requirements
and an easy-to-maintain
assembly concept. Unitized
cylinder assembly enables
quick change-outs and
increased engine uptime.
Each assembly is mounted
directly to the mainframe
and includes liner assembly,
cylinder head, intake and
exhaust valves, valve linkage
and a high-pressure fuel-injection
pump and nozzle. This design enables
excellent flow paths for combustion,
lower fuel consumption and reduced
emissions. Design improvements will
result in a significant reduction in lube oil
consumption over L250 Tier 2 engines.

One-piece liners
The stiff, one-piece,
mid-stop liner has an
integral external water
jacket that removes
the possibility of water
leaks. An anti-polishing
ring provides a durable
running surface, improving lube oil
consumption and liner life. The top onethird of the liner is cooled.

Exhaust manifold

Pistons

Advanced EFI

The exhaust manifold provides
increased transient response and
better efficiency under pulse and
constant pressure operation. It is
modularized with identical piping and
bellows sections for all of the cylinder
assemblies. The bellows sections
help lower the thermal and vibrationinduced stresses on the exhaust
system.

Our pistons are ruggedly designed to
accommodate the high-peak firing
pressure requirements of L250 engines.
The pin and skirt components are
also designed to yield better piston
lubrication and guidance as it travels
within the liner.
The design helps
minimize oil
consumption and
blow-by as well as
lengthen oil life.

Designed for greater efficiency at
varying speeds and loads, the L250’s
electronic fuel injection features
precise fuel control, increased
pressure capability and refined timing.
Optimization of the cam profile, injection
start, injection volumes and flows, and
control algorithms have produced a
relatively simple system, proven reliable
through extensive validation.

Intercooler and air-intake
manifold
The L250’s combustion air-intake
system includes one intercooler
mounted on the mainframe between
the turbo outlet and air manifold inlet.
This allows for lower fuel consumption,
emissions and exhaust temperatures.
For servicing, the intercooler can be
removed without dismantling other
engine components.

Connecting rod assembly
The forged-steel connecting rods are
exceptionally strong and exhibit high
stiffness, which is beneficial during the
engine’s lifetime. Large bearing widths
with optimized oil grooves also help
improve oil-film thickness and pressure,
allowing for optimum performance and
lower friction losses.

Camshafts
The camshafts on the L250 are made of
sectional carbon steel forgings joined
by dowel-bolted flanges, a design that
simplifies component removal and
replacement. Individual sections of the
camshaft, rather than the entire
camshaft, can be serviced or replaced.
