The TAD940GE is a powerful, reliable

and economical Generating Set Diesel
Engine built on the dependable Volvo inline six design.
Durability & low noise
Designed for the easiest, fastest and

most economical installation. Well balanced to produce smooth and vibrationfree operation with low noise level, featured with high torque.
To maintain a controlled working temperature in cylinders and combustion
chambers, the engine is equipped with
piston cooling. The engine is also fitted
with replaceable cylinder liners and valve
seats / guides to ensure maximum durability and service life of the engine.
Operational economy and

Low exhaust emission
The state of the art, high-tech injection

and air charging system with low internal
losses contributes to excellent combustion and low fuel consumption.
The TAD940GE complies with EUstage 2 and TA-luft exhaust emission
regulations.
Easy service & maintenance

Easily accessible service and maintenance points contribute to the ease of
service of the engine.

Cooling system
Air to air intercooler

Belt driven, maintenance-free coolant pump
with high degree of efficiency
Fan hub
Fan & belt guard
Efficient cooling with accurate coolant control through a water distribution duct in the
cylinder block. Reliable sleeve thermostat
with minimum pressure drop
Radiator
Radiator guard
Pusher type fan
Electrical system
Engine Management System 2 (EMS 2), an

electronically controlled processing system
which optimizes engine performance. It also
includes advanced facilities for diagnostics
and fault tracing
The instruments and controls connects to
the engine via the CAN SAE J1939 interface and the Control Interface Unit (CIU).
The CIU converts the digital CAN bus signal
to an anolog signal, making it possible to
connect a variety of instruments.

complies with TA-luft exhaust emission regulations.
Rating Guidelines

$52).'42!.30/24 -!8,%.'4(
PRIME POWER rating corresponds to ISO Standard Power for

continuous operation. It is applicable for supplying electrical power
at variable load for an unlimited number of hours instead of commercially purchased power. A10 % overload capability for govering
purpose is available for this rating.
MAXIMUM STANDBY POWER rating corresponds to ISO Standard Fuel Stop Power. It is applicable for supplying standby electrical power at variable load in areas with well established electrical
networks in the event of normal utility power failure. No overload
capability is available for this rating.
