Unique Drive System
The drive gear design is incorporated into the latest KIPOR diesel engine which will greatly reduce vibration and noise.
Fuel System Technology
Fuel systems assure high efficiency operation.
The precision machined and precisely timed injection pump and the direct-injection design leads to lower fuel consumption and reduced tailpipe emissions. The engine meets current and proposed EPA emission standards.
Advanced Noise-reduce Design
The high efficiency muffler system greatly lowers exhaust noise. With the addition of the advanced design air induction system, intake noise is reduced to a low level. The design or the cylinder block, engine cover, and valve train all combine to reduce engine noise levels.
OVERVIEW
Engine is the flagship product of KIPOR. Today there are three series engines general-purpose gasoline engine, general-purpose diesel engine and multi-cylinder diesel engine. Those engines are not only equipped to KIPOR generator sets, but also directly sold to global market. Since the future emission standard demands, KIPOR continues the improvement for the fuel and engine structures to reduce the impact on environment. Today, most of KIPOR can meet EPA standard. “Green Engine” is the target of KIPOR.Due to the requirements of climate protection and environmental protection, which have continually increased in recent years, the industry has now intensified the focus of its research and development divisions on making these engines not only more efficient, but also cleaner. Thus, clean air and the preservation of natural resources have become important objectives of our development work. The challenge is to be able to bring competitive products onto the market, while paying particular attention to the technical and economic framework conditions.
