Kohler KSD Series Engines

The Kohler KSD (Kohler Small Displacement) Series engine family offers a below-19 kW (25 hp) solution which complies with all global emissions standards and fuels.

• Compatible with various machine types 
• Can be easily integrated with more complex electronic systems of ever-evolving machines
• Versatile design which allows integration without modifying or redeveloping machine
• Allows customized settings for any duty cycle and the ability to exchange data with few physical connections
• Range currently includes three engine models - KSD 1403NA (Naturally aspirated), KSD 1403TC (Turbocharged) and KSD 1403TCA (Turbocharged with aftercooler)
• Additional modes expected in the near future
• Features high low-end torque of 95 Nm (70.1 lb.-ft.) at 1,000 rpm
• Provides peak torque at low speed of 120 Nm (88.5 lb.-ft.) at 1,400 rpm
• Peak power output of 18.4 kW (24.7 hp) at 1,800 rpm
• Multi-fuel solution enables use with diesel, gasoline and propane to meet varying customer requirements
• Easily fits into existing telematic solutions
• Electronically controlled but as simple to use as mechanical engines
• Fuel system allows precise fuel metering and excellent load response
• Use of durable components enable use in heavy-duty applications
• Dual side service and full flexibility for fan position fits wide range of machines
• Electronic controls maintain high performance at high altitude
• Electronic control allows for integration of CANbus communication, TSC1 control, tailored error messages and remote diagnostics
• Helps optimize fuel consumption by controlling machine hydraulics and engine load and speed
• Enables prognostic, diagnostic, geolocation, remote monitoring and switchability for genset application, and offer a service interval of up to 500 hours, for both oil and fuel filters
• Features state-of-the-art indirect injection system but has specific electronic management typical of direct injection
• engines
• Engine performance is maximized in every operating condition and environment
• Indirect injection system offers limited speed droop as well as isochronous control if required, like in bigger displacement common-rail engines
• Low-end torque allows operators to run equipment at lower rpm to save fuel
• Electronic injection system results in no visible black smoke;
• Minimizes noise and vibrations to ensure operator comfort
• Piston ring design, dedicated in-house honing machining process, and specific crankcase ventilation system aids clean low oil consumption and avoids oil dilution as well as heavy soot oil
• Includes Kohler Arctic Boost starter motor to start the engine easily when dealing with high parasitics in cold conditions
