Product catalog summary
Overview: The Volvo Penta D4-180 is an inboard diesel engine designed for yacht comfort, offering 132 kW (180 hp) of crankshaft power according to ISO 8665 standards. It features a common rail fuel injection system controlled by Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) for enhanced torque and maneuverability with minimal smoke emissions.
Specifications: The engine is compact and robust, with a cast-iron cylinder block and head, balance shafts, and a ladder frame. It operates at a low rated rpm, making it suitable for displacement hulls. The engine speed is 2800 rpm, with a displacement of 3.7 liters and a compression ratio of 17.5:1. It weighs 546 kg with the HS45AE reverse gear.
Performance and Comfort: The D4-180 provides world-class performance with low noise and vibration levels. The EVC-D system offers ergonomic controls for precise maneuvering, including features like Low Speed, Cruise Control, and Single Lever Control. The engine is designed for minimal vibrations and quiet operation, with a focus on reducing emissions to meet IMO NOx, EU RCD, and US EPA Tier 2 standards.
Technical Features: The engine includes a seawater-cooled tubular oil cooler, a common rail fuel injection system, and a thermostatically regulated freshwater cooling system. It also features a 12V electrical system with a 115A marine alternator and integrated charging regulator.
Reverse Gear: The hydraulically shifted reverse gear is designed for comfort and reliability, featuring bevel gears and an 8° down angle for optimized installations. It includes an electrically operated shifting valve and can rotate the propeller shaft for 24 hours without engine start.
Accessories and Options: A range of accessories is available, including a U.S.C.G./MED (SOLAS) kit. Not all models and accessories are available in all countries, and specifications are subject to change.
Graphical Data: The document includes graphs showing fuel consumption, power, and torque across various rpm levels, highlighting the engine's efficiency and performance characteristics.

VOLVO PENTA INBOARD DIESEL New standard for yacht comfort diesel features minimal vibrations, quiet and economical running thanks to a robust block with balance shafts and ladder frame and a low cruising rpm. A smooth-running engine with excellent low end torque for demanding maneu- vers, operated by electronic shift and Fully electronic world-class diesel performance, clean exhausts and low emissions achieved by common rail fuel injection, double overhead camshafts, and 4 valves per cylinder makes this en- gine the ideal choice for yacht comfort. D4-180 with HS45AE reverse gear World-class performance The common rail fuel injection system, con- trolled by EVC, in combination with a large swept volume, ensures outstanding torque for maneuverability, with virtually no sign of smoke. Matched with the low rated rpm, this makes the engine ideal for displacement The engine is extremely compact for its large swept volume. With the rear-end transmis- sion, driving the high-pressure injection pump and the camshafts, a high degree of integrated systems, a high-efficiency after- cooler, a marinization performed with very few hoses, and a fully symmetric engine, the package simply gets that compact. The rigid cast-iron cylinder block and head, combined ladder frame and balance shafts, and exactly controlled (up to three steps) fuel injection gives excellent onboard comfort with low noise and vibration levels. EVC-D, a new generation of the proven Elec- tronic Vessel Control offers the best driver experience available! The new economically designed controls engage smoothly and allow for maneuver- ing with fingertip precision in any situation. Integrated pushbuttons give easy access to functions such as Low Speed, Cruise Con- trol and Single Lever Control, which allows for safe and easy boating. Complete the helm with your choice from the full range of easy to read gauges and displays including the new 7" color display. Add the trip computer function for accurate fuel management and minimized environ- mental impact. Engine synchronisation is of course standard in twin installations. A propulsion package fully matched, tested and supported by Volvo Penta's hydraulically shifted reverse gear has been specially developed with a view to increasing the standard of comfort on board. Matched with the characteristics of the D4 engine, the hydraulic shifting mechanism and a gear technology that uses bevel gears throughout the gear train, we have developed a complete package for high torque, opera- tional reliability and reduction of engine noise The combination of 8° down angle, large drop center and small dimensions provides for optimized installations. V-drives and in-line reverse gears are also available. In order to get full benefit of the EVC sys- tem the reverse gear is equipped with elec- tric shifting valve. Meeting new emission standards The common rail injection system in com- bination with electronics and an advanced combustion system are setting new stan- dards in minimizing noxious emissions and particulates. The engine complies with IMO NOx limits and the comprehensive emission Crankshaft power --- Calculated propeller load exp. 3 hp, metric
