VOLVO PENTA GENSET ENGINE

TAD531GE
1500 rpm, 102 kW (139 hp) – 1800 rpm 111 kW (151 hp)

The TAD531GE is a powerful, reliable

and economical Generating Set Diesel
Engine.
Durability & low noise
Designed for easiest, fastest and most
economical installation. Well-balanced to
produce smooth and vibration-free opera-
tion with low noise level.
To maintain a controlled working tem-
perature 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 durabil-
ity and service life of the engine.

Low exhaust emission

The state of the art, high-tech injection
and charging system with low internal
losses contributes to excellent combus-
tion and low fuel consumption.
The TAD531GE is certified for EU Stage
2 exhaust emission regulations.
Easy service & maintenance
Easily accessible service and mainte-
nance points contribute to the ease of
service of the engine.
