• 10. Winner of the "Best Bang for the Buck" Frost & Sullivan Voice of the Customer Award in the Indian Power Generation Sets Industry.
• 11. These ratings are suitable for delivering power constantly to a constant load up to the output terminals rating for an unbounded number of hours. This rating does not include any capacity for prolonged overloading whatsoever.

Types of Kirloskar Diesel Engine
 

Kirloskar's air-cooled diesel engines are known for their accuracy, quality, dependability, and low cost, all while being emission-compliant. The air-cooled motors may be purchased in a range of power outputs from 14 kilowatts (kW) to 81 kilowatts (kW), and they find usage in a wide variety of mining machinery and equipment. In the mining business of South Africa, these engines are very popular, and major mining corporations including Impala Platinum, Xstrata group, Glencore, Aquarius Platinum, and Anglo Platinum all get engines from this manufacturer. The South African distributor for Kirloskar provides substantial backup for spare parts, specialized service technicians, and a workshop facility, all of which support the company's products out in the field. Kirloskar assures that clients obtain excellent goods at affordable costs and that these products are backed-up by impeccable after-sales service to meet the requirements of the mining sector. As a result of the lower investment costs, lower operating expenses, and increased dependability made possible by an all-inclusive service package, the total cost of ownership is decreased. The HA series of engines are utilized in a variety of applications aside from mining machinery. Some of these applications include compressors, screening plants, crushers, high-pressure cleaning pumps, vacuum pumps, off-highway mobile machinery, hydraulic power packs, irrigation pump sets, dewatering pump sets, construction machinery, and more. Diesel engines with water-based cooling systems for a variety of industrial uses. Kirloskar offers a wide variety of water-cooled diesel engines that meet environmental regulations, including the following models:

• 1. DV series at 290kW to 552kW
• 2. SL series engines of 145kW to 240kW
• 3. Engines of the R series range from 17 to 125 kilowatts

The water-cooled engines are used in a broad variety of applications, including agricultural machinery, fire pump packages, water pumps, material handling equipment, construction and earth-moving equipment, and generators. The following international original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) employ engines manufactured by Kirloskar in their Indian operations:

• 1. Putzmeister (concrete pumps)
• 2. Atlas Copco (compactor)
• 3. Sany, Schwing Stetter (concrete pumps)
• 4. Komatsu (excavator)
• 5. Mitsubishi (motor grader)
• 6. Case New Holand
• 7. Terex (backhoe loader)
• 8. Hyundai (20t excavators)
• 9. Caterpillar (wheel loaders and backhoe loaders)

In South Africa, Kirloskar's engines are powering underground LHDs and dump trucks in the mining industry, thanks to the R series of water-cooled engines. Kirloskar provides a broad array of agro-industrial engines and Agri pump sets, with power levels ranging from 3 kW to 20 kW. These engines were developed specifically for harsh environments and are used as dependable prime movers in a variety of industrial and mining applications.

Diesel engines for use in fire pump applications are provided by Kirloskar Oil Engines, which is the only company in Asia to provide diesel engines that are factory Mutual (FM) certified and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed as meeting NFPA20 criteria. Because of their low cost, sturdiness, and dependability, the engines are often employed for the installation of fire suppression systems. With power outputs from 45 kilowatts to 245 kilowatts and rotational speeds from 1,760 rpm to 2,600 rpm, Kirloskar offers a total of 19 distinct engine options that have received FM approval and are listed on the UL database.
 

Kirloskar Diesel Engine Uses
 

Kirloskar diesel engines, or any internal combustion engine in which compressed air is heated to a high enough temperature to ignite diesel fuel pumped into the cylinder, where the resulting combustion and expansion move a piston. It takes the chemical energy that is contained in the fuel and changes it into mechanical energy, which may then be utilized to power things like trains, huge tractors, freight vehicles, and ships. Diesel fuel is used in the propulsion of a select number of cars, as well as in the generation of various forms of electrical power. During World War II, diesel engines quickly replaced gasoline-powered ones as the primary source of propulsion for military vehicles on land and at sea. Since that time, it has been included in a variety of high-powered agricultural tractors, heavy-duty construction equipment, and the majority of big vehicles and buses. Diesel engines have also been placed in different institutions, including airports, exchanges, telephones, hospitals, and a variety of other establishments, in order to provide emergency power in the event that the electrical power supply fails. In addition to this, they have also been used in autos, although on a very small scale. Diesel engines are known to have a more efficient fuel economy than gasoline engines; yet, diesel is less smooth running and releases greater quantities of pollutants than gasoline engines.
