1. Power and Load Requirements
Estimate the required continuous and peak power based on the equipment’s ratedload and working conditions. It is recommended to leave a 20% power margin.
2. Operating Environment and Space Constraints
Confirm the engine size and weight to ensure proper fit in the available space.Marine engines should focus on corrosion resistance, construction machineryneeds efficient filtration, and agricultural machines should have good heatdissipation pathways.
3. Maintenance and Reliability
Choose engines with long overhaul cycles and easy maintenance. Convenient dailymaintenance helps reduce operational costs.
4. Fuel Economy and Emissions Standards
Select engines based on local emission regulations (e.g., Euro IV, EPA, StageIII), utilizing technologies like high-pressure common rail to reduce fuelconsumption and emissions.

It is recommended to leave a 120% power margin whenselecting the engine to avoid running the engine at full load for extendedperiods.
For marine and construction machinery, it is recommended to choose engines withan overhaul cycle ≥ 8,000 hours.
