with aftercooler. 96–110 kW (130–150 hp)*

Reliable marine engine

AD31L/P is a reliable and economic
marine engine with considerable power
resources, developed for planing craft.
With its compact dimensions, it is ex-
cellent for twin installation.
Direct injection
Direct injection (DI) results in a low ther-
mal load and low fuel consumption com-
pared with swirl chamber engines (IDI)
with the same cylinder capacity.
Turbocharging
The engine is turbocharged with an
exhaust-driven turbocompressor. More
air can be forced into the cylinder in this
way with the result that more fuel can
be injected and the engine runs more
efficiently. Since combustion takes place
in a turbo engine with excess air, the
exhaust gases are cleaner than in a natu-
rally-aspirated engine
The turbo also acts as an additional
silencer both on the induction side and AD31L/P with SX

engine
Volvo Penta’s 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.
