I am looking for the manufacturer of the diesel engine (Africa Oil)

[the middle]

Hello,
There are old diesel technologies that work wonders.
In Africa, radio stations use palm oil to run their generators.
In the videos, we talk about India, and Belgium ...
These engines are super strong and very easy to maintain, unlike current (Chinese,) generators.
These are motors that make boom ... boom .. very slowly

Hello,

It looks like a bernard motor of the belle epoque:

I met the director of CODEART a few years ago and visited their workshops. It is heavy! They did a very good job of burning the oil on rudimentary engines (the can that you see in the picture of the article is the radiator!). See this summary report: https://www.econologie.com/hvp-rapport-d ... -3043.html
(where the type of motor is most certainly indicated). See also their website: http://www.codeart.org/fr

It's not a Bernard engine but, from what I remember, Indian engines (but can be derived from Bernard's design).

We even planned to do a little collaboration but it finally did not happen: https://www.econologie.com/forums/collaborat ... t8337.html

Sorry could not prevent me from checking if my memory was still working quite well. This is the Indian engine. Brand: FIELDMARSHAL

It's actually a copy of a LISTER 8 / 1 engine

Datasheet (1ere page of the report of my previous message)



The same you also met the director of codeart some time after me with your burner oil it seems to me no?

ha bin, it's great,
Big thanks to you
(I have to find the address in my archives)
last year, there was an open door, but no time to go.
Ho !, I see that you have given everything, price, address !!!!!

[Christophe]

Well yes when I do things I do them well lol
About the price it is not expensive at all considering the "mass" of the engine which is far from irreparable engine junk made in china!

After that it is a "low-end" engine in terms of performance / size / mass because 8 hp for 1.5 L of displacement is light years from modern diesel engines which do 10 times better in cars and 4 to 5 times better. in industrialists!

ps: their address is on their site that I indicated above!

All this is not very important for stationary use.
On the other hand, what about consumption

[chatelot16]

for a fixed instalation the performance power / mass does not matter

it should rather look at the performance in gram / kWh: and I would not be surprised that it is quite honorable compared to modern engine too fast

the low speed gives time to burn to any oil: it is the ideal engine for oil generator

[Christophe]

The specific consumption must be findable by going on the site of the manufacturer ... it must be similar to the industrial engines of the 50 years ... I guess the best in 240 gr / kWh ...

The cubic capacity is still important considering the power: in specific power one is hardly more than 5 cv / L ... or 1920 years values! Do not expect a great return ...

[chatelot16]

I saw in the doc of these slow engine 240g / kWh: it's quite honorable: small modern fast diesel are less good

and we must beware: do not count that the figure in g / kWh has maximum power, it is also necessary consomation power reduced very important for genset: and the old slow engine have a lost power vacuum much lower than the engine fast, so a consomation in g / kWh very good power reduced

the modern genset especially with turbo are bad at reduced power
