K-Sim® Engine Pielstick 6PC Multi Purpose Vessel M21

K-Sim® Engine Pielstick 6PC Multi Purpose Vessel M21

The K-Sim Engine Pielstick 6PC20 Multi Purpose model provides a highly realistic simulation of propulsion machinery based on twin Pielstick 6PC20 medium-speed diesel engines. These 6-cylinder, 4-stroke, turbocharged, non-reversible engines dynamically respond to changing operational conditions, enabling mutual interaction between the engine models and the ship models for a fully immersive training experience.

K-Sim Engine: Pielstick 6PC20 multi-purpose model

The main engines are connected to a controllable pitch propeller via a reduction gear and an air-operated clutch. A shaft generator is also attached to the reduction gear, providing additional operational flexibility.

The propulsion plant can be operated in multiple modes, including combinator, split, economy, and shaft generator mode. The electrical power plant consists of two diesel engine-driven generators, one shaft-driven generator, and one emergency generator.

Compliant with industry standards

Kongsberg Maritime’s simulator models exceed the requirements of the STCW Convention, Regulation I/12, and meet the DNV GL standard DNVGL-ST-0033 for Maritime Simulator Systems.
