VOLVO TA642GE Generator Set – 400 kVA Prime Diesel | 2006

The VOLVO TA642GE Generator Set, manufactured in 2006, is a highly dependable diesel-powered solution ideal for prime, standby, and continuous-duty power applications. Driven by the Volvo Penta TAD642GE engine, this 6-cylinder, turbocharged, and intercooled unit is engineered to perform under demanding operational conditions.

Featuring a 12.8-liter displacement with a 128 mm bore and 142 mm stroke, the TA642GE delivers 400 kVA (320 kW) of prime power and 440 kVA (352 kW) in standby mode. Its engine runs at 1,500 RPM (50 Hz) or 1,800 RPM (60 Hz) depending on site-specific configuration. The engine is governed by either a mechanical or electronic governor, ensuring stable performance and response to load changes.

The generator's thermal efficiency ranges from 33–35%, with a heat rate of 9,800–10,200 Btu/kWh, and fuel consumption at 75% load is approximately 60–65 liters per hour. The closed-loop water cooling system and full-flow oil filtration system enhance durability and operational life, while maintaining optimal thermal and mechanical conditions.

Emissions are compliant with EPA Tier 2 standards, featuring NOx emissions around 4.0–5.0 g/kWh and CO emissions around 1.0–1.5 g/kWh, making it suitable for regulated environments. The set includes a brushless, self-excited alternator, offering 400V or 480V output, with overload and thermal protection built-in.

This generator is an excellent solution for commercial facilities, backup systems, construction sites, or remote installations requiring reliable mid-range diesel generation.
