Volvo Penta’s D17 Diesel Engine For Sale
The 17.26-liter diesel engine incorporates the latest combustion technology advancements, chiefly an upgraded fuel-injection system with electronic unit injectors and a common-rail design to reduce exhaust emissions. To improve the power density, Volvo Penta’s engineers added dual-stage turbochargers and heavy-duty steel pistons, which allow it to power a range of electrical gensets, from prime 50 Hz systems (up to 758 kVA) to standby 60 Hz systems (up to 881 kVA).
The in-line six-cylinder system offers a high-power alternative to other Tier 3 and Tier 4 engines in the same class. With 1,500/1,800 revolutions per minute (rpm), the dual-speed engine is ideal in applications needing continuous availability of backup electrical power, such as equipment used in data centers, hospitals, and airports.
With minimal maintenance, D17 enables a higher uptime for the systems it targets: permanent standby and mobile gensets. (For context, standby or emergency power generators are usually installed in stationary locations to supply backup power during outages; prime generators serve as the main power source for equipment or other operations.)
The engine is certified with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Tier 2 stationary emergency regulations, meaning it can supply a few hours of backup power for markets requiring the highest standards for reliability. The D17 also complies with the ISO 8528 G3 load acceptance standard, meeting power demands quickly in blackouts.
