Dawn mechanical information wanted

[fud2468]

Most people would not care about this information as long as the cruise goes as scheduled.

Prior to, during, and after our Mexican Riviera cruise March 10 to 21, I tried to find out about these details, since I am mechanically inclined. I did learn that the ship is powered by Sulzer diesel engines of 12 or 16 cylinders each, apparently as part of a diesel-electric setup. I'd like to know about engine horsepower, bore & stroke, torque and RPM's, etc.

Another question is about the ship's fresh water capacity. Since I saw water hoses connected to the ship in one of the ports, and since there was no change in the taste of the water during the cruise, I conclude the ship purifies its own water.

Thanks,

Ray Mac.

well this may not be that much of a help but they are fun pictures :D They are kinda like this:

 

 

 

 

Total engine weight: 2300 tons

Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm

Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

 

That is for a LARGE tanker or cargo ship...

Thanks, very impressive!!

I see the name Sulzer, so I guess you're very close if not spot on.
