The Baudouin 53kW Diesel Engine (4M06G55/5) is a liquid cooled four cylinder inline engine designed for commercial, agricultural and light industrial applications. This 2.3 litre turbo charged block provides the mechanical drive for 50kVA prime to 55kVA standby generators.

  • Power Output: Delivers 53kW standby power at 1500 RPM (50Hz) and manages sudden load changes without frequency drops.
  • Intercooler Efficiency: Combines turbo charging with an air to air aftercooler to reduce recovery times during block load connections.
  • Local Suitability: Built with an inline layout and a 12V electrical starting network suited for high ambient temperatures and dusty environments.
  • Support & Delivery: Distributed by The Generator King with comprehensive technical support and direct access to genuine OEM parts.

We offer delivery across Sub-Saharan Africa at the best prices.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Baudouin 53kW Diesel Engine

Reliable Output for  Power Operations

This 53kW engine supplies efficient power to run generator systems, pump systems and for light industrial applications. This engine is an ideal fit for commercial setups that need a reliable, space saving engine that handles sudden electrical loads smoothly.

Performance and Thermal Control

The 2.3 litre engine uses a turbo charged intake matched with an air to air aftercooler to improve combustion efficiency. This setup ensures fast transient response, allowing the engine to absorb sudden electrical loads smoothly without hunting or dropping speed.

Electronic Management System

An advanced Engine Control Unit governs the operational speed to maintain precise performance. The simple design simplifies access to components, making routine filter changes and engine checks straightforward for service technicians.

Key Technical Features
  • Enhanced Induction: The forced induction and aftercooler system optimises airflow to deliver high power output from a low displacement engine.
  • Production Standards: Built to European engineering  standards to ensure dependable performance in all operating environments.
  • Reliable Engine Starts: Equipped with a 12V electrical system that provides prompt activation during emergency power transitions.
  • Efficient Fuel Burn: The combination of electronic control and precise fuel delivery keeps ongoing running costs low and reduces exhaust emissions.
