BUKH DV 24 SME - TECHNICAL DATA
 
 
BUKH DV 24 marine diesel with saildrive 
24 effective  seahorses ensure comfortable and troublefree sailing. The exceptionally 
low noise level makes it a pleasure to be on board. 
DV 24 has direct fuel injection and this means 12 to 15 per cent lower fuel consumption 
than the pre-combustion principle and longer life because of reduced thermal loads on 
the cylinder head. The cold start characteristics are also vastly improved. 

A BUKH does not vibrate 
A well-balanced system of rotating counterweights in the engine neutralizes all vibrations. 

A BUKH does not rattle 
Minimal tolerances in all moving parts ensure the lowest possible noise level in bearings, 
gearwheels, pistons and connecting rods. 

A BUKH has automatic fuel control 
Automatic fuel control guarantees that the engine only gets the amount of fuel which 
the immediate load requires. 

BUKH's safe saildrive 
BUKH's saildrive is specially developed for BUKH engines. A sensing element between 
the double rubber diaphragm will sound an alarm in case of water penetration. 
A flexible coupling between engine and saildrive safeguards mechanical parts and the 
multiple disc clutch can stand brutal shifts from forward to reverse. 

A BUKH marine diesel is designed for a rough life at sea. 

As Aabenraa Motorfabrik is always endeavouring to improve the engines, specifications
