VOLVO PENTA GENSET ENGINE

TAD1642GE
The TAD1642GE is a powerful, reliable and economical Generating Set Diesel Engine built on the dependable in-line six design.

536 kW (729 hp) at 1500 rpm, 585 kW (796 hp) at 1800 rpm, acc. ISO 3046

Durability & low noise

Designed for easiest, fastest and most economical installation. Well-balanced to produce smooth and vibration-free operation with low noise level. To maintain a controlled working temperature in cylinders and combustion chambers, the engine is equipped with piston cooling. The engine is also fitted with replaceable cylinder liners and valve seats/guides to ensure maximum durability and service life of the engine.

Low exhaust emission

The state of the art, high-tech injection and charging system with low internal losses contributes to excellent combustion and low fuel consumption. The TAD1642GE complies with EU Stage 2 exhaust emission regulations.

Electrical system

Fuel system

Non-return fuel valve Electronic unit injectors Fuel prefilter with water separator and water-in-fuel indicator / alarm Gear driven low-pressure fuel pump Fine fuel filter with manual feed pump and fuel pressure switch Fuel shut-off valve, electrically operated

Cooling system

Lubrication system
Full flow oil cooler

Efficient cooling with accurate coolant control through a water distribution duct in the cylinder block. Reliable sleeve thermostat with minimum pressure drop Gear driven, maintenance-free coolant pump with high degree of efficiency Coolant filter as standard

Engine Management System 2 (EMS 2), an electronically controlled processing system which optimizes engine performance. It also includes advanced facilities for diagnostics and fault tracing The instruments and controls connect to the engine via the CAN SAE J1939 interface, either through the Control Interface Unit (CIU) or the Digital Control Unit (DCU). The CIU converts the digital CAN bus signal to an anolog signal, making it possible to connect a variety of instruments. The DCU is a control panel with display, engine control, monitoring, alarm, parameter setting and diagnostic functions. The DCU also presents error codes in clear text. Sensors for oil pressure, oil temp, boost pressure, boost temp, coolant temp, fuel temp, water in fuel, fuel pressure and two speed sensors.

Power Standards

The engine performance corresponds to ISO 3046, BS 5514 and DIN 6271. The technical data applies to an engine without cooling fan and operating on a fuel with calorific value of 42.7 MJ /kg (18360 BTU/lb) and a density of 0.84 kg/liter (7.01 lb/US gal), also where this involves a deviation from the standards. Power output guaranteed within 0 to +2% att rated ambient conditions at delivery. Ratings are based on ISO 8528. Engine speed governing in accordance with ISO 3046/IV, class A1 and ISO 8528-5 class G3

Rating Guidelines

Exhaust emissions

The engine complies with EU stage 2 emission legislation according to the Non Road Directive EU 97/68/EEC. The engine also complies with TA-luft -50% exhaust emission regulations.

PRIME POWER rating corresponds to ISO Standard Power for continuous operation. It is applicable for supplying electrical power at variable load for an unlimited number of hours instead of commercially purchased power. A10 % overload capability for govering purpose is available for this rating. MAXIMUM STANDBY POWER rating corresponds to ISO Standard Fuel Stop Power. It is applicable for supplying standby electrical power at variable load in areas with well established electrical networks in the event of normal utility power failure. No overload capability is available for this rating. 1 hp = 1 kW x 1.36
