Introduction
Description of equipment
The engine/generator assembly consists of a diesel
engine combined with an electrical generator. 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 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 fuel/water
separator is included for additional fuel system
protection.
A governor on the engine provides a stable
operating speed under varying load conditions.
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 service manual.
An automatic shut down system is incorporated in
the generator set to sense low oil pressure and/or
high coolant temperature. In either case, the
engine/generator assembly will automatically shut
down to protect the engine.
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 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.
A high ambient temperature radiator and an integral
exhaust and muffler system are contained within
the enclosure as standard equipment.
A center-point lifting attachment is located on top
of the enclosure to allow crane lifting of the entire
unit.
The generator set can be mounted on a trailer
equipped for highway operation which is available
as an option. Hydraulic surge brakes are standard
on larger generator sets with the optional trailer
package. Electric brakes are also available as an
option.
