Allen 5000 engine for liquid fuel
Optimum diesel power solutions for stationary power generation
Features

The Allen 5000 engine has been
designed to give maximum
durability and long life span.

The electronic fuel injection
system ensures optimum control
of fuel consumption and
emission levels under varying
loads and fuel properties to meet
current and future
environmental legislation.

Modern materials are utilised to
give maximum durability and
minimal maintenance by
extending the period between
each examination.

The enhanced engine design
includes features such as a
cylinder block incorporating the
air intake trunking and lube oil
and cooling water channels.

High efficiency turbochargers
tailored to suit individual
applications.

Bore cooled liner with carbon
cutting ring for reduced oil
consumption.

The underslung crankshaft has
massive bearing surfaces
ensuring minimum stresses and
maximum durability.

All moving parts are easily
accessible. The three piece
connecting rod is designed for
ease of removal. The camshaft is
sectioned to enable removal
from the side of the engine,
reducing the maintenance space
necessary around the machine.

Four-stud fixing vermicular cast
iron cylinder head for optimum
strength and thermal
conductivity.

Two piece composite piston with
high strength steel crown and
iron skirt, oil cooled for high
firing pressures and Description
temperatures. The Allen 5000 series has been

Two-stage charge air cooling to developed using the latest design and
improve efficiency with analysis techniques. Designed for
combustion on low-grade fuel. maximum reliability, minimum capital
cost and through life cost. Its low
emissions also ensure protection of the
environment for tomorrow’s
generation.
Applications
Stationary power generation.
Fuels
Distillate and heavy fuels.

General conditions for stationary engines and generating sets

Continuous power and performance data
are in accordance with ISO 3046-1:1995.
Continuous power for generating set
operation is in accordance with
ISO 8528-1:1993 COP.
Engine and AC generator performance may
be adjusted in accordance with application,
site conditions, load profile and fuel type.
Specific fuel consumption is based on
distillate fuel oil with a net calorific value of
42.7 MJ/kg without engine driven pumps.
If engine driven pumps are fitted, add
1 g/kWh for each pump.
Emissions
Engine exhaust emission levels are below
the limits for engine driven power plants, as
stated in the World Bank Group’s Pollution
Prevention and Abatement Handbook.
Heavy fuel oil operation
The engines are designed for operations on
heavy fuel oil with viscosity up to 55 cSt at
100°C, to the specification within ISO 8217
RMH55 (or equivalent).
Waste heat recovery
Data for arranging waste heat recovery
plants is available upon request.
Dimensions
All dimensions are in mm.
Dimensions and weights are given for
guidance purposes only and are based on a
typical specification. For detailed
