Air-Cooled
Diesel Generators
5kVA – 100kVA
Compact, lightweight air-cooled diesel generator sets built on Beinei (Deutz-licensed) engines. No coolant, no radiator, no liquid cooling maintenance — ideal for remote sites, agriculture, telecoms and field deployment where simplicity and reliability are critical.
Air-Cooled Technology — Built for Where Water-Cooling Can’t Go
Elitech Power’s air-cooled diesel generators are powered by Beinei engines — a Deutz-licensed design manufactured in China to the original Deutz F/L series specifications. Unlike water-cooled generators that require a radiator, coolant system and regular fluid maintenance, air-cooled units rely entirely on forced-air circulation to dissipate engine heat.
This makes them uniquely suited for remote and off-grid deployments where water supply is limited, ambient temperatures vary widely, or maintenance access is infrequent. With fewer moving parts and no cooling system failures possible, air-cooled generators offer lower total cost of ownership and faster servicing in the field.
Available in open-frame and acoustic canopy (silent type) configurations from 5kVA to 100kVA. All units are CE certified and conform to ISO 8528 genset standards. Factory direct wholesale pricing — minimum order 1 unit.

Why Beinei for Air-Cooled Gensets?
Beinei (Beijing Beinei Diesel Engine Co.) manufactures under Deutz AG technology licence — the same engineering lineage that established air-cooled diesel technology worldwide. Every Beinei engine used in Elitech generators is sourced directly from the factory with engine serial number, warranty certificate and test report.
The F/L series architecture is renowned for its simple maintenance, robustness in extreme temperatures (−40°C to +55°C operating range) and reliable starting in low-temperature conditions without pre-heating.
Air-Cooled vs Water-Cooled — Which Is Right?
Understanding the differences helps you specify the correct generator for your project conditions.
- No radiator, no coolant — zero liquid cooling maintenance
- Lower purchase cost and simpler installation
- Lighter and more compact — easier transport and deployment
- Operates in water-scarce environments without restriction
- Excellent cold-start performance down to −40°C
- Faster field servicing — fewer components to inspect
- Power range limited to ~100kVA
- Higher ambient sensitivity above 45°C at full load
- Better thermal regulation at sustained full load
- Suitable for high-power applications (100kVA+)
- Lower noise levels at equivalent power output
- Wider product range and more engine brand options
- Requires coolant checks, radiator and water pump maintenance
- Higher complexity — more potential failure points
- Heavier and larger footprint for equivalent kVA
- Coolant leaks possible in extreme field conditions
