V24 engine
AV24 engineis a 24-cylinderpiston enginewhere two banks of twelve cylinders are arranged in aV configurationaround a common crankshaft. The majority of V24 engines, however, have been "dual V12" engines where two separate V12 engines are placed in line with each other.
Fiat AS.6 aircraft engine
[edit]This V24 aero engine was built in the early 1930s to power theMacchi M.C.72aeroplane, which was intended to compete in the 1931Schneider Trophyair races. This engine was in reality formed by mounting twoFiat AS.5V12 engines one behind the other, with the front engine powering the rear propeller and the rear engine powering the front propeller.[1]The combined displacement was more than 50 L (3,051 cu in) and the combined power output was approximately 2,900 hp (2,160 kW).[2]
Mechanical problems prevented the airplane from competing in the Schneider Trophy, however the Macchi M.C.72 achieved an average top speed of 709.2 km/h (440.7 mph) on 23 October 1934. This set the record for a piston-powered seaplane, a record which stands to this day.[3]
Detroit Diesel24V71
[edit]TheDetroit Diesel Series 7124V71 engine with a displacement of 1,704 cu in (27.9 L) and 2,000 hp. They were manufactured from 1994 to 1997.
Jenbacher J624
[edit]One of the few, if not the only, V24 engines in current production is the Austrian-made Jenbacher J624 gas engine for electric power generation and CHP applications. The engine makes use of two-stage turbocharging, and with a bore and stroke of 190mm by 220mm, the total swept volume of the 24-cylinder engine is 149.7L. Depending on application, the engine can operate on various fuels with the genset generating up to 4,507 kW of electrical power.
