LEADING GENERATOR MANUFACTURER
For over 100 years, Baudouin has designed and manufactured the highest quality diesel engines for marine and power generation applications globally
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Baudouin 740kW Diesel Engine
The Baudouin 6M31G825/5 showcases extreme mechanical refinement, sharing the same 18.5-litre displacement footprint and 149mm x 177mm bore and stroke profile as its series stablemate, but tuned for higher thermal output. The core engine architecture utilises a rigid cast-iron mono-block with an advanced 24-valve overhead cylinder head configuration to maximise volumetric air flow. Operating at an elevated 32 Bar BMEP (Brake Mean Effective Pressure) threshold under full standby loads, the structure is heavily reinforced with high-density main bearing webbing to isolate structural stress during sudden data centre or industrial plant connection sequences.
Industrial Power Architecture & Reliability
This heavy six-cylinder platform provides immense mechanical inertia to bridge severe inductive voltage variances caused by large mining equipment or commercial water treatment pumps. The integrated air-to-air aftercooling circuit drops incoming air temperatures significantly before combustion occurs, maintaining safe internal valve temperatures and completely eliminating the head-warping tendencies associated with smaller, over-boosted engine designs. This straightforward layout drastically reduces outer pipework complexity, giving local field technicians spacious access for routine servicing.
Baudouin 740kWm Engine Technical Features
Maximum 18.5L Power Density: Achieves an exceptional 740kWm standby output from an inline six platform, reducing the overall footprint inside heavy-duty soundproof canopies.
ECU Common Rail Technology: Leverages a modern electronic engine management framework to regulate high-pressure fuel delivery, resulting in pristine atomisation and minimal smoke output.
Expanded Oil Circulation: Features a high-capacity wet sump holding up to 60 Litres of oil, driving a 295 L/min internal lubrication loop to sweep away extreme frictional heat.
10 kW Cranking Security: Outfitted with a premium 24Vdc starting network containing a 10 kW high-torque starter and an 80 Amp alternator for reliable black-start transfers.
Unassisted Cold Weather Firing: Engineered to secure immediate starting capability without pre-heaters down to minus 10°C, extending to minus 40°C using automated auxiliary cooling circuit heaters.
