Representing a significant expansion in displacement and structural capability, the Baudouin 204kW Diesel Engine 6M16G220/5 introduces a massive 9.7L vertical inline 6-cylinder G-Drive platform to our collection. This large-capacity mechanical engine is uniquely developed to handle rigorous corporate backup loads, severe industrial demands, and intensive agricultural pump sectors, making it the perfect choice for generating packages spanning 192kVA prime to 211kVA standby. Equipped with dedicated turbocharging and an air-to-air charge air cooler, this unit maintains excellent transient load recovery times during sudden block load switching.

Operating with absolute structural balance at 1500 RPM, this premium powertrain is engineered for long-term field availability across challenging regional African environments. It transitions the electrical control layout to a heavy-duty 24V twin-battery starter system with an 8.5 kW high-torque cranking motor, ensuring immediate emergency black-starts.

LiFeTIDE supplies local generator builders with this uncompromised 9.7-litre French engine, supported by direct technical pairing expertise, deep warehouse stock, and prompt cross-border distribution.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Baudouin 204kW Diesel Engine

The Baudouin 6M16G220/5 is characterised by its heavy-duty industrial framing, utilising a vertical inline six-cylinder block with an extensive 126mm x 130mm large-bore piston stroke layout. 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 top architecture integrates cross-flow cylinder head geometry and a highly reliable 12-valve configuration 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 remains dense and cool, significantly dropping combustion chamber stress and eliminating the head-warping challenges that impact smaller, over-boosted configurations. This clean, accessible layout dramatically simplifies component access for field technicians, minimising ongoing upkeep complexity.

Baudouin 204kWm 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 intense oil flow rate of 118 L/min 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 a 55 Amp charging alternator for flawless automation transfers.

  • Massive Tropicalised Cooling Loop: Incorporates an integrated mechanical radiator and an 11 kW belt-driven pusher fan designed to circulate 415 cubic meters of air per minute, sustaining performance up to 50°C ambient heat.

  • Rigid Cold-Weather Starting: Thermodynamically refined to execute unassisted mechanical start-ups down to minus 10°C, extending cleanly down to minus 30°C 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.
