| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Engine Model | Cummins 6CTA8.3-C215 |
| Configuration | In-line 6 Cylinders, 4-Stroke |
| Displacement | 8.3 Liters |
| Rated Power | 160 kW / 215 HP @ 2200 rpm |
| Aspiration | Turbocharged and Aftercooled |
| Fuel System | Cummins PT (Pressure-Time) Direct Injection |
| Cooling System | Water-Cooled |
| Emission Level | Typical for industrial applications meeting EPA Tier 1 / EU Stage I equivalents |
| Net Weight (Approx.) | 650 - 720 kg |
This engine is engineered to be the reliable heart of various heavy-duty equipment, including:
Power Generation (G-Drive): A proven choice for diesel generator sets, providing prime or standby power for industrial facilities, construction sites, and commercial buildings.
Industrial Pump Drives: Powers high-capacity water pumps, slurry pumps, and fire pump sets for industrial, mining, and municipal use.
Construction Machinery: Commonly used in excavators, wheel loaders, drilling rigs, and compactors where consistent torque and durability are critical.
Marine Auxiliary: Suitable for marine auxiliary engines and smaller vessel propulsion.
Legendary PT Fuel System: The engine features the renowned Cummins Pressure-Time (PT) fuel system. This mechanically governed system is celebrated for its simplicity, high reliability, ease of maintenance, and excellent performance across varying fuel qualities.
Durable and Serviceable Architecture: Built with a heavy-duty cast-iron block, forged steel crankshaft, and replaceable wet cylinder liners, this engine is designed for longevity and straightforward overhaul. The robust construction withstands high loads and thermal stress.
Efficient Turbocharged Performance: Equipped with a Holset turbocharger and an aftercooler, the system forces denser, cooler air into the combustion chamber. This significantly increases power density and fuel efficiency while improving emission characteristics.
Integrated Design Philosophy: The engine incorporates an integrated design that reduces the total number of parts, minimizing potential leak points and failure rates. This contributes directly to higher reliability and lower lifecycle maintenance costs.
