For over 100 years, Baudouin has designed and manufactured the highest quality diesel engines for marine and power generation applications globally
Baudouin 320kW Diesel Engine
The Baudouin 6M16G350/5 showcases premium heavy-duty industrial framing, utilising a vertical inline six-cylinder block with an extensive 126mm x 130mm large-bore piston configuration. Operating on a 17:1 compression ratio optimised for forced-induction air density, the structural mono-block casting distributes high cyclic loading evenly to avoid localised stress fatigue. The upper layout integrates cross-flow cylinder head geometry and a highly reliable 24-valve structure to secure rapid, unobstructed air exchange while protecting the valve train from extreme thermal spikes during intense load conditions.
Industrial Power Architecture & Reliability
This 9.7-litre block leverages robust maritime engineering metallurgy to counter severe inductive load variances from industrial machinery or large commercial HVAC infrastructure. By combining forced turbocharging with an integrated air-to-air aftercooling matrix, the incoming charge air remains dense and cool, significantly dropping combustion chamber stress and eliminating the head-warping challenges that impact smaller, over-stressed configurations. This clean, accessible layout dramatically simplifies component access for field technicians, minimising ongoing upkeep complexity.
Baudouin 320kWm Engine Technical Features
High-Volume Lubrication Flow: Employs an expansive wet-sump system holding up to 22 Litres of oil (30 Litres total capacity), achieving an intensive oil flow rate of 136 Litres per minute to keep internal bearings thoroughly cooled.
Heavy-Duty 24V Electrical Grid: Features a specialised 24Vdc architecture equipped with an ultra-powerful 8.5 kW starter motor and an upgraded 70 Amp charging alternator for flawless automation transfers.
Massive Tropicalised Cooling Loop: Incorporates an integrated mechanical radiator and a 13.4 kW belt-driven pusher fan designed to circulate 450 cubic meters of air per minute, sustaining performance up to 50 degrees Celsius ambient heat.
Rigid Cold-Weather Starting: Thermodynamically refined to execute unassisted mechanical start-ups down to minus 10 degrees Celsius, extending cleanly down to minus 30 degrees Celsius using specialised jacket water heating configurations.
SAE 1 Flywheel Architecture: Utilises a standard SAE 1 housing with a large 14-inch flywheel layout, providing high rotational inertia to stabilise power spikes during severe breaker connection steps.
