Introduction
The Volvo Penta D2-40 is a new generation inboard diesel engine designed for enhanced yacht comfort, offering 29.1 kW (39.6 hp) of crankshaft power according to ISO 8665 standards. It is paired with the S-drive 130S for optimal performance.

Specifications
The engine operates at a speed range of 2800–3200 rpm with a displacement of 1.51 liters. It features a four-cylinder configuration with a bore/stroke of 77/81 mm and a compression ratio of 23.5:1. The dry weight varies depending on the configuration, with the saildrive 130S version weighing 189 kg.

Environmental Compliance
The D2-40 meets stringent environmental standards, including US EPA Tier 3, BSO, and EU RCD certifications. It achieves a 50% reduction in particulate emissions.

Comfort and Performance
The engine is designed for smooth operation with low vibration levels, achieved through a dynamically balanced design and high-efficiency rubber isolation. It features redesigned combustion chambers and an inlet air silencer to reduce noise by up to 3 dBA.

Service Life and Maintenance
The engine includes a freshwater cooling system to reduce internal corrosion and maintain optimal temperature. It also features electrical isolation to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Charging Capacity
The 115A alternator with an electronic sensor supports higher battery capacity, delivering over 35A at idle and approximately 100A at cruising speed.

Transmission Options
Six transmission options are available, including the MS15A and MS15L reverse gears and the S-drive 130S. These are designed for durability and smooth operation.

Technical Features
The engine block and head are made from high-grade cast iron, with a chrome molybdenum forged crankshaft. It includes a spin-on full-flow oil filter, a closed circuit crankcase ventilation system, and a freshwater-cooled exhaust manifold.

Electrical System
The engine features a 12V electrical system with a 14V/115A marine alternator, glow plugs for cold starting, and an electric starter motor. EVC instrumentation and NMEA interface are available for engine data presentation.

Accessories
Available accessories include electronic shift and throttle, engine controls, battery systems, hot water systems, and various fuel and exhaust system components.

Conclusion
The Volvo Penta D2-40 is a robust and environmentally friendly engine designed for marine applications, offering high performance, comfort, and reliability.

VOLVO PENTA INBOARD DIESEL D2-40 29.1 kW (39.6 hp) crankshaft power acc. to ISO 8665 7749277 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 10/07/2012 17:14:14 New generation D2 for enhanced yacht comfort The new generation Volvo Penta D2 series is designed to meet the most stringent environmental legislation – US EPA Tier 3. Further reduced sound level and low cruising rpm gives quiet running and low vibrations. The 115A alternator with a built-in charging sensor provides rapid charging for onboard electrical needs. D2-40 with S-drive 130S The base engine is developed for industrial applications and marinized for the highest marine demands. This guarantees a reliable engine with a long service life. Comfort Smooth running with very low vibration levels is achieved through a dynamically balanced design incorporating a flywheel of high rotating mass and high efficiency rubber isolation. The new engine with re-designed combustion chambers and lower engine speed – 2800–3200 rpm – together with the new inlet air silencer gives the highest comfort on board. The noise is further reduced by up to 3 dBA from an already low level. The engine’s high torque provides excellent operating characteristics to aid maneuvering, particularly in confined spaces. The engine has EVC instrumentation and NMEA interface for presenting engine data on chart plotters. Environment The new generation D2 meets the world’s most stringent emission legislation – US EPA Tier 3. The particulate emissions are now reduced by 50%. The D2-40 is certified according to BSO, EU RCD and US EPA Tier 3. Service Life The D2-40 is fitted with freshwater cooling as standard. This reduces internal corrosion and enables the engine to maintain a consistent and optimal working temperature under all conditions. To avoid galvanic corrosion the engine is equipped with a unique electrical isolation between engine and S-drive. Charging capacity The 115A alternator with an electronic sensor makes it possible to use a higher battery capacity and have fully charged batteries on board. Even at idle speed, the alternator gives more than 35A, and at cruising speed it delivers approx. 100A. Transmissions Six matched transmission options are available, each built for durability and smooth running.
