We offer industry leading 24 month / 1,000 hour warranties on our engines and diesel generators.

The Baudouin 973kW Diesel Engine (12M26G1100/5) is a V configuration twelve cylinder engine designed for high capacity power supply in commercial applications, retail centres and industrial plants. This 31.8 litre model provides the mechanical drive for large scale 1000kVA prime to 1100kVA standby generators.

  • Power Output: Delivers a maximum 973kW standby output at 1500 RPM and manages heavy transient loads without frequency drops.
  • Twin Turbo Charged Setup: Employs forced twin turbo charging and air to air charge cooling to deliver high torque response.
  • Local Suitability: Features a cooling configuration and a 24V starting system built to run reliably in ambient temperatures up to 50°C.
  • Support & Delivery: Distributed by The Generator King with specialised engineering support and direct regional access to genuine OEM components.

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

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Baudouin 973kW Diesel Engine

V Configuration Mechanical Drive

The 12M26G1100/5 utilises a twelve cylinder V layout to supply high volume mechanical energy. This 31.8 litre displacement engine is built to handle continuous utility support and heavy manufacturing operations that require uninterrupted power supply.

Heat Management and Reliability

The engine is outfitted with a cooling system engineered to maintain stable operational efficiency in environments reaching 50°C. It routes coolant effectively through the engine to regulate internal temperatures and reduce component wear during long runs.

Transient Load Control

Equipped with twin turbo chargers and an air to air charge cooling array, the engine manages rapid block load additions smoothly. The system maintains strict electrical frequency stability, preventing voltage dips during sudden demand increases from heavy machinery or data infrastructure.

Emergency Cranking System

The electrical starting system uses a 24V twin battery configuration paired with a 10kW high torque cranking motor. This setup provides rapid black start activation to bring the generator online immediately when grid power drops out.

Key Technical Features
  • High Temperature Tolerance: The radiator setup allows full power output without performance derating in extreme regional climates.
  • Forced Induction Efficiency: Dual turbo chargers maximise airflow to optimise the fuel burn and control ongoing operational overheads.
  • Immediate Load Response: Refined engine management systems monitor speed continuously to prevent operational lags when high current loads connect.
  • Global Quality Compliance: Manufactured under European engineering controls to guarantee uniform performance across major commercial power networks.
