Need help choosing the right Solar equipment? Call us today!

The SDEC SC4H160D2 is a high-performance H Series industrial stationary diesel engine engineered specifically for heavy-duty generator sets. Developed as a world-class power platform in partnership with UK Ricardo and built to rigorous international automotive quality standards, this compact 4-valve engine delivers an idle matching power range optimised for prime and standby 50kW – 150kW generator configurations. Featuring 20% fewer components than traditional blocks, it offers maximum operational efficiency, exceptional structural reliability, and simplified field maintenance throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.

RELIABLE POWER GENERATION

SDEC was founded in 1947 and is a generator manufacturer and supplier. They are ISO9001, QS9000 and TS16949 certified, which is testament to their quality and reliable performance.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

SDEC 105kW Diesel Engine

The SDEC H Series SC4H160D2 stationary diesel engine represents a benchmark in synchronous power plant engineering. Born from a joint development process between Shanghai Diesel Engine Company (SDEC) and world-renowned UK Ricardo engineering consultants, this power platform combines proven combustion technology with the world-class manufacturing standards of the SAIC Motor group.

Designed with an integrated cylinder head and a high-strength cast-iron block, the SC4H160D2 utilises premier international component brands to ensure absolute mechanical integrity under rigorous load cycles. Its advanced, high-efficiency four-valve layout guarantees optimal fuel atomisation and torque delivery, making it the preferred choice for local generator builders requiring reliable prime and standby power for commercial, agricultural, and industrial infrastructure.

With a simplified layout that drastically reduces part-count complexity, this engine lowers long-term operational overhead while maximising field uptime under demanding African environmental conditions.

SDEC 105kW Engine Technical Features

  1. Advanced 4-Valve Architecture: Features an integrated cylinder head design and a heavy-duty cylinder block, incorporating tier-one international components to maximise thermal efficiency and structural longevity.

  2. Automotive-Grade Quality Infrastructure: Manufactured to the strict quality control matrix of SAIC Motor and verified by world-class German automotive production systems, ensuring absolute product consistency and balanced performance.

  3. Simplified Mechanical Framework: The structural blueprint relies on integrated components, reducing total part count by 20% compared to conventional diesel powertrains. This results in simplified field maintenance and lower spare parts overhead.

  4. Strong Environmental Resilience: Engineered for instantaneous starting capability without an intake pre-heater down to 10°C, and extending down to 30°C utilising an auxiliary heating device for absolute grid-independence in any environment.

  5. Regulated Emission Compliance: Engineered to meet strict global industrial standards, matching the Off-Road Stage II emission framework for cleaner, highly efficient fuel consumption profiles.
