Perkins 4006-23TAG3A Diesel Engine for 800-900kVA Generator Sets

The Perkins 4006-23TAG3A is a 6-cylinder, turbocharged and air-to-air charge cooled diesel engine within the Perkins 4000 Series family. The engine is offered with either temperate or tropical cooling configurations and is designed for continuous baseload, prime, and standby power generation duties.

The 4000 Series platform shares design commonality across its 6, 8, 12, and 16-cylinder engine range, which supports component standardization and reduced spare parts stocking requirements for operators managing mixed fleets. The 4006-23TAG3A uses individually mounted 4-valve cylinder heads for optimized gas flow, and unit fuel injectors for fine fuel atomization and controlled combustion.

This engine is verified against Build List DGDF6034/DGDF0021/DGDF1392, all of which correspond to the same 1500 rpm engine configuration.

Build List Identification Guide

The Build List is stamped on the engine nameplate, mounted on the rocker cover or timing case. Locate the dataplate and read the alphanumeric string beginning with DGD or DGDF.

Nameplate fields to record before ordering:
· Build List (e.g. DGDF6034 or DGD6034)
· Engine Serial Number (ESN)
· Rated speed (1500 or 1800 rpm)
Provide both the Build List and ESN when requesting a quote. This allows us to confirm exact specification match before order commitment.
