Key Features of the KTA38-DM1007 Marine Engine
Continuous Duty Performance
The KTA38-DM1007 is engineered for long-running marine applications. Its continuous-duty rating ensures consistent power output for extended operations on offshore vessels, tugboats, and commercial workboats.
High Fuel Efficiency & PT-HPI Fuel System
Equipped with Cummins PT-HPI fuel system and dual turbochargers, the engine delivers excellent fuel economy, approximately 191 L/hr at 75% load, while maintaining 1007kW output for heavy-duty auxiliary or propulsion tasks.
IMO Tier II/IIIa Certified Emissions
This engine is IMO-certified for marine applications, compliant with Tier II emission standards, and available for Tier IIIa configurations, making it suitable for environmentally regulated ports and international operations.
Reliable Cold Start & Low Maintenance
With a 24V electrical starting motor and high-capacity 185L oil pan, the KTA38-DM1007 ensures dependable cold starts, long service intervals, and low maintenance, enhancing lifecycle reliability for continuous marine operations.
V12 Structure & PT Fuel System
The KTA38-DM1007 V12 Marine Diesel Engine 38L utilizes a 4-stroke structure with a high-capacity 185L oil pan, ensuring long-running reliability. One of the primary Cummins KTA38 PT fuel system advantages is the purely mechanical pressure-time injection, which, when paired with CENTRY electronics, offers a robust alternative to complex common-rail systems. This makes the engine ideal for remote marine environments where "repairability" is as important as "reliability."
Efficiency Metrics: KTA38-DM1007 Fuel Consumption Chart
For vessel operators, the lifecycle cost analysis is paramount. The fuel consumption of KTA38-DM1007 at 75% load is approximately 191 L/hr, scaling to a specific fuel consumption of 232 g/kW.hr at full capacity.
- 75% Load (Prime): 191 L/hr – Optimal for long-range cruising and auxiliary power.
- 100% Load (Continuous): Peak performance for heavy-duty power generation.
- Cooling: Features a high-efficiency KTA38-DM1007 raw water pump and heat exchanger configuration.

KTA38-DM1007 vs. KTA38-M1000 vs. KTA38-DM880: Understanding the Difference
KTA38-DM1007 vs KTA38-DM880 Comparison
A common question for engineers is the KTA38-DM1007 vs KTA38-DM880 power consumption difference. While the DM880 is suited for smaller grids, the DM1007 utilizes a twin turbocharger (Holset HX80 or HX82) setup to push the 1007kW limit without compromising the maintenance interval for Cummins KTA38-DM1007 marine engine standards.
KTA38-DM1007 vs. KTA38-M1000
A common question among buyers is the Cummins KTA38-DM1007 vs KTA38-M1000 difference in torque curve.
- Rating Curve: The DM1007 is optimized for constant speed (1800RPM) generator loads with immediate response to step loads. The M1000 is optimized for variable speed marine propulsion with a different torque reserve for propeller acceleration.
- Duty Cycle: The KTA38-DM1007 continuous duty rating vs intermittent duty specs allows for 24/7 operation at full power, whereas propulsion ratings often have hourly limits.
- Application: Using an M-rated engine for continuous generator duty can void warranties and reduce lifespan. For power generation system integration, the DM1007 is the only correct choice.
