We offer industry leading 24 month / 1,000 hour warranties on our engines and diesel generators.

The SDEC 155kW Diesel Engine (6HTAA6.5-G22) is a 6.5L inline 6-cylinder engine engineered to handle commercial, industrial and agricultural backup applications. Built to power 150kVA prime to 165kVA standby generator packages, this HT Series platform incorporates a turbocharger and air-to-air aftercooling to secure stable voltage governance.

  • Power Output: Delivers a reliable 155kW standby rating at 1500 RPM (50Hz), to handle commercial load variances without hunting.
  • Advanced Induction: Uses a turbocharger paired with an air-to-air aftercooler to reduce transient recovery time.
  • Heavy Duty Components: A rugged dry-liner construction and a 24V twin battery electrical starter system for reliable ignition.
  • Logistics & Support: Supported by The Generator King’s technical support, readily available parts stock, and prompt cross border distribution.

We offer delivery across Sub-Saharan Africa at the best prices.

RELIABLE POWER GENERATION

SDEC was founded in 1947 and is a diesel engine manufacturer. They are ISO9001, QS9000 and TS16949 certified, which is testament to their quality and reliability.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

SDEC 155kW Diesel Engine

Optimised Power Delivery

The SDEC 6HTAA6.5-G22 features a vertical inline 6-cylinder configuration with a 16:1 compression ratio designed specifically for forced-induction operations. This layout incorporates an overhead 4-valve per cylinder design that maximises airflow into the combustion chambers to ensure clean and efficient fuel mixing.

Rigid Casting

Built from high strength cast iron, the engine relies on dry-liner cylinder design paired with a cross-flow cylinder head. This distributes high thermal loads and structural stress evenly across the block, which effectively prevents head warping and maintains long term reliability during extended grid failures.

Efficient Combustion

Built with a high strength cast iron block and an integrated cylinder head, this 6.5L platform is engineered to handle persistent mechanical stress under rigorous load cycles. The overhead 4-valve per cylinder layout ensures precise fuel atomisation and steady torque delivery, giving regional generator builders and engineers a dependable power source for commercial, industrial and agricultural uses. The streamlined mechanical design integrates components directly into the block, lowering the overall part count to prevent failures and reduce long term operating costs.

Technical Operational Specifications

  • Thermal Longevity: The 4-valve and integrated head design use premium international components to maximise thermal efficiency and resist structural fatigue.

  • Global Production Standards: Manufactured in compliance with SAIC Motor's strict quality control and validated by German automotive production systems to ensure consistency.

  • Simplified Design: Reduces complexity by relying on integrated structural elements, minimising field maintenance and lowering spare parts overhead.

  • Low-Temperature Ignition: Engineered to start instantly down to -10°C without an intake pre-heater, and functions down to -30°C when paired with an auxiliary heating device.

  • Stage II Emission Matching: Configured to meet Off-Road Stage II emission frameworks, ensuring a cleaner and highly efficient fuel consumption profile.
