The Rehlko KD425‑2 is a robust, space‑efficient air‑cooled diesel engine engineered for practical OEM integration and dependable day‑to‑day operation. Rated at 13 kW (17.4 hp) @ 3600 rpm with 42 Nm @ 2200 rpm, it suits applications that need compact diesel power with a straightforward installation package.
Rehlko specifies a four‑stroke design with integral fan air cooling, direct injection, and electric start, making the KD425‑2 a strong option where simplicity and service access matter. The engine’s 851 cm³ displacement and compact dimensions help it fit into tight equipment bays, while the full‑pressure lubrication system with a full‑flow filter supports consistent long‑term operation in working environments.
As with any OEM engine, the safest way to specify or replace is to match the exact engine code and confirm the installation interfaces (mounting arrangement, intake/exhaust routing, electrical connections, and coupling requirements). If you share your application (pump, compressor, power unit, etc.) and any existing engine plate details, we can help confirm the correct KD425‑2 configuration before ordering.

Applications
The Rehlko KD425‑2 is well suited to compact industrial and OEM equipment where reliable diesel power and straightforward maintenance are key. Typical applications include small power units, pumps, compressors, and specialist machinery operating in demanding environments where an air‑cooled engine simplifies installation and reduces cooling-system complexity.
With 13 kW at 3600 rpm and usable torque at working speeds, it fits steady-duty and intermittent-duty roles where packaging space is limited and service access is important. For best results, ensure the engine is correctly matched to the duty cycle and driven load, and confirm mounting and coupling details for a clean installation.
Because KDI 3404 variants can differ materially by emissions package and calibration (even when the base engine is similar), matching the exact 3404E5/22C code is essential in both new builds and replacements to avoid configuration and fitment issues.
