Single-phase diesel power station KS 18-1XM

The water-cooled engine system ensures reliable operation of the unit and prevents premature engine failure. The efficient cooling of the engine allows this generator set to be exposed to high ambient temperatures.

The engine preheater facilitates the start-up of the power station with no load on the engine, even in sub-zero temperatures during the cold season. The system automatically pre-heats the engine's water jacket to the required temperature and maintains the engine temperature to facilitate the engine start-up in any weather.

It features the capability to connect the ATS (automatic transfer switch) system. The unit automatically starts the generator and switches the load to it when the main power supply is disconnected and automatically stops the generator when the central power supply gets restored.

All operations are controlled via a modern multifunctional digital controller. The controller provides monitoring of all operating indicators of the power station, convenient start-up and operation settings, monitoring of the battery status, engine speed and fuel supply adjusted to the load, and protection against overheating and low oil level. It also signals possible faults and reports the need for service maintenance.

The high-quality soundproof housing provides significant noise reduction during unit operation, improves the thermal distribution and protects the power station against ingress of moisture and condensation, exposure to adverse weather conditions and tampering. The relatively compact size of the power station provides more space for its placement. Anti-corrosion powder coating contributes to a longer service life of the unit. In addition, the low-noise low-speed engines mounted on anti-vibration pads contribute to quieter operation and reduce the load on the base.  The power station has an emergency stop button for quick engine shutdown in an emergency.

The housing has openings for transportation aids, facilitating shipment, transportation, and installation of the unit.  Wide hinged doors on both sides of the housing provide unobstructed access to the unit parts for easy servicing of the main components of the diesel generator.

For failure-free operation in Europe, Könner & Söhnen diesel power stations undergo pre-run servicing and a test run with monitoring of all operating parameters at our in-house service center. A special loading bench is used to check the power output of the power station in different operating conditions and to fine-tune the electronics control unit.

The Könner & Söhnen KS 18-1XM diesel power station is a high-end unit based on the world-renowned Xinchai engine with superior performance, reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. Reinforced parts and mechanisms, strengthened fasteners and joints reduce wear and tear and ensure long and reliable operation of the generator set. Meticulously monitoring every stage of Könner & Söhnen production, we have created a series of high-quality and reliable HEAVY DUTY Silent Diesel Generators that will serve our customers for many years to come. All Könner & Söhnen power stations undergo rigorous testing and guarantee high performance and maximum productivity.
