Compressor-charged Hi-Tech
engine
Volvo Pentas 4-cylinder KAD32P is a
compressor- and turbocharged high perfor-
mance engine with aftercooler producing
high torque at low engine speeds. This
means unique acceleration properties and
excellent drivability.
Reliable marine engine
KAD32P is a reliable and economic marine
engine with considerable power resources,
developed for planing craft.
The engine is compact and has an advan-
tageous weight to power ratio making it
excellent for both single and multi-engine
installation.
Direct injection
Direct injection (DI) results in a low thermal
load and low fuel consumption compared
with swirl chamber engines (IDI) with the
same cylinder capacity.
