The register lists here five versions with a uniform 18 kW rated output at 2,200 to 3,000 rpm. The three-cylinder inline engine measures 81 mm bore and 90 mm stroke, maximum torque stands constant at 105 Nm at 1,500 rpm. The engines are indirect-injection, certified to Tier 4 (Final or Phase-in), in the 8 to under 19 kW power category, with model years from 2024 to 2026.
Engines in this small power class drive compact construction machinery, small generators and stationary sets; the KSD-TCH version continues the certification of Discovery Energy's KSD range into the newer model years through 2026. In this power class the KSD engines compete with small diesels from Yanmar and Kubota fitted to similar equipment.
On a used purchase, operating hours and the service history of the injection pump count, along with the condition of the waste-gate turbocharger and charge-air ducting, the tightness of the radiator and intake tract, and compatibility with low-sulphur diesel fuel; parts supply runs through Discovery Energy's distribution network.
