Volvo Penta TAD1242GE Manuals

Generating set and industrial engines 12 liter (EDC III) OPERATOR’S MANUAL

The TAD1241GE is a powerful, reliable and economical Generating Set Diesel Engine built on the dependable in-line six design. Durability & low noise Designed for easiest, fastest and most economical installation. Well-balanced to produce smooth and vibration-free opera- tion with low noise level. To maintain a controlled working tem- perature 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 durabil- ity 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 combus- tion and low fuel consumption. The TAD1241GE complies with EU Stage 2 and TA-Luft -50% exhaust emis- sion regulations. Easy service & maintenance Easily accessible service and mainte- nance points contribute to the ease of service of the engine. Technical description: Engine and block – Optimized cast iron cylinder block with opti- mum distribution of forces without the block being unnessarily heavy. – Wet, replaceable cylinder liners – Piston cooling for low piston temperature and reduced ring temperature – Tapered connecting rods for reduce risk of piston cracking – Crankshaft induction hardened bearing surfaces and fillets with seven bearings for moderate load on main and high-end bear- ings – Case hardened and nitrocarburized trans- mission gears for heavy duty operation – Keystone top compression rings for long service life – Viscous type crankshaft vibration dampers to withstand single bearing alternator tor- sional vibrations – Replaceable valve guides and valve seats – Over head camshaft and four valves per cyl- inder Lubrication system – Full flow oil cooler – Full flow disposable spin-on oil filter, for ex- tra high filtration – The lubricating oil level can be measured during operation – Gear type lubricating oil pump, gear driven by the transmission Fuel system – Non-return fuel valve – Electronic Unit Injectors – Fuel prefilter with water separator and wa- ter-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 – Air to air intercooler – Coolant filter as standard – Gear driven, maintenance-free coolant pump with high degree of efficiency – Efficient cooling with accurate coolant con- trol through a water distribution duct in the cylinder block. Reliable sleeve thermostat with minimum pressure drop Turbo charger – Efficient and reliable turbo charger – Extra oil filter for the turbo charger Electrical system – Electronical Diesel Control III (EDCIII), an electronically controlled processing system which optimizes engine performance. It also includes advanced facilities for diagnostics and fault tracing – Three different ways for the customer to connect his controls and instrument to the engine. CAN SAE J1939 interface, CIU (Control interface unit) and Stand alone connections. – Sensors for oil pressure, oil temp, boost pressure, boost temp, coolant temp, fuel temp, water in fuel, fuel pressure and two speed sensors. Features – Maintained performance, air temp 40°C – Tropical cooling system (55°C) – Fully electronic with Volvo Penta EDC III – Dual frequency switch (between 1500 rpm and 1800 rpm) – High power density – Emission compliant – Low noise levels – Gen Pac configuration VOLVO PENTA GENSET ENGINE TAD1241GE 1500 rpm, 354 kW (481 hp) – 1800 rpm, 387 kW (526 hp)
