Engineering & Design
Six full-time engineers dedicated to designing exhaust systems. From sportfish to mega-yachts, sailboats to commercial and military vessels — we engineer for every classing society, engine, and sound target.
What this service includes
D'Angelo Marine works closely with marine architects and naval engineers around the world to design exhaust systems most suited to a project's requirements and specifications. We also work hand-in-hand with boatyards and shipyards during engine repairs and vessel refits.
From Lloyd's to GL and from RINA to ABS, we have had our systems classed by every society. We are continuously working on systems for MTU, Caterpillar, Cummins, Deutz, Detroit Diesel, M.A.N., Scania, Baudouin, and other marine engines — and generator brands including Northern Lights, KiloPak, Kohler, and John Deere.

How we work
Brief
Engine, vessel, layout, class, and acoustic requirements captured.
3D Model
System designed in 3D from engine-room layout or physical measurements.
Validation
Back-pressure calculated and reported; class submissions prepared.
Hand-off to Fab
Drawings and specifications routed to the fabrication floor, all under one roof.
Common challenges we eliminate
Spec mismatch
Designed to engine OEM and class spec from day one.
Bad fit on installation
Physical measurements or 3D scans verify before fabrication.
Excessive back-pressure
Calculated and reported up front.
Class society delays
We submit drawings ahead of fabrication.
Real builds, real installs

Frequently asked
Can you design for any engine?
We work continuously with MTU, Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Deutz, M.A.N., Scania, Baudouin and others — plus all major marine generator brands.
Do you handle performance tuning?
Yes. We calculate back-pressure and report on system performance to confirm the system as designed or installed is properly sized.
Can you submit to any class society?
We have had systems classed by every major society: ABS, Lloyd's, DNV, RINA, GL, ABYC.
