Kohler Power Systems expands its KD Series line of industrial generators with a new model, KD800 for 50hz markets. This generator features a new advanced engine (KD18L06) that can also run on hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) as a renewable fuel source.

This new model joins a proven series of gensets that continues to provide the highest power density and best fuel consumption at more nodes than competitors between 800-4500 kVa, offering cost savings to users. The new KD unit is designed to power mission critical applications, including airports, hospitals, and healthcare facilities, water treatment plants and mid-sized data centres.

The KD800 joins Kohler’s industrial generators that are engineered to use HVO fuel. HVO provides a more sustainable alternative to conventional diesel and biofuels. No adaptation is needed and both HVO and diesel can be mixed together. HVO is also highly stable, with no sensitivity to oxidation, so it can be stored long-term. It enables to offset carbon emission by up to 90% by using renewable waste products.
