Yes, I would like to receive future marketing communications (such as email) from Caterpillar Inc., its affiliates and subsidiaries worldwide and the Caterpillar dealer network. Regardless of whether you decide to receive these marketing communications, Caterpillar will continue to send service/transactional messages, including those that have to do with any accounts that you may have with us.

Overview

The M 32 E is designed for the offshore market focused on generator set application. The 720/750 rpm concept will reduce generator costs. Charge air cooler housing and charge air cooler allow easier disassembly and cleaning. The new design still supports operation at any ambient condition without load reduction. We offer a generator set application for customers operating the engines mainly below 47 %.

M 32 E as a generator drive

The robust design and moderate speed permits unlimited, continuous operation with heavy fuel oil. Engine and electrics are tested prior to delivery.

Nodular cast-iron engine block with integrated ducts for lubricating oil and charge air

Emission reduction technology

Installation friendly, due to pumps and filters installed on the engine
