DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
The engine/generator assembly consists of a
diesel engine combined with an electrical genera-
tor. This assembly is firmly bolted together to form
an integral unit and does not require anything
other than routine maintenance.
The engine is equipped with a 12-volt starter (24-
volt starter optional) and can be wired for remote
starting capability at the control panel.
A dry-element air cleaner is standard equipment to
ensure a clean air supply, and a remote fuel/water
separator is included for additional fuel system
protection.
A governor on the engine provides a stable
operating speed under varying load conditions,
and the generator is equipped with a solid-state
voltage regulator to stabilize the output voltage
under these same conditions. Figures and
schematics of both the governor and regulator are
provided in the ENGINE and GENERATOR
OPERATOR’S MANUALS.
An automatic shutdown system is incorporated in
the generator set to sense low oil pressure and/or
high coolant temperature, and in either case the
engine/generator assembly will automatically
cease operation.
A diesel fuel tank is incorporated within the base
of the unit to ensure an uninterrupted operating
cycle under full load. The engine/generator
assembly is mounted to the base using high
durometer vibration isolators.
The enclosure for the generator set is constructed
from 12 or 14-gauge sheet metal to ensure
maximum rigidity, and is bolted together to allow
easy access to major components if necessary.
Four lockable, hinged access doors are provided
for routine operation and maintenance.
The enclosure on the Super Quiet Generator is
specifically designed for a high degree of sound
attenuation. This allows the generator set to be
operated in noise-sensitive environments. The
interior of the enclosure is coated with sound-
dampening polymer foam that is highly effective in
noise suppression and is impervious to water, fuel,
and oil.
A high ambient temperature radiator and a critical
grade exhaust silencer are contained within the
