Title: Small Diesel Generators for sale
Post by: SPSInc on August 17, 2012, 01:59:13 PM
Hello, I have 2 enclosed diesel generators I'm wanting to part with. They have a Yanmar L70 engine, 24 Pole PMG and inverter. As configured they output 3.0KW 120Vac/60Hz. Engine runs at a set 3600 RPM. These are old military prototype units. They have very low hours but were built in mid-90s. I started them for the first time in a couple of years the other day and both started on the first pull. They do have electric start but is set up for 24Vdc.

I do have access to some low voltage PMG alternators I could swap on the units to allow for battery charging possibly through a solar charge controller to regulate the output. If you have some interest in something like this let me know and lets see what we can put together. I hate to see some nice generators sitting on the shelf doing nothing.

You got anything in a 48vdc nominal 3+ kw output?

WoW! I like what I see. They are some very nice units!

And from looking at them they are built very rugged.

Okay. Where should we start? I can get you a LxWxH and weight. I might even have a Power vs Voltage curve on an alternator I could put on. Let me know what else you want to see and I'll try to get if for you.

I mounted a low voltage alternator to it this morning and ran some data. See the chart attached. First run I had the throttle wide open or @ 3900RPM no load. I ran out of load bank switches before the engine began to really load down. I then set the no load speed to 3600RPM and added load followed by no load set point of 3300 RPM.

The unit measures 30 x 20 x 28 inches (L x W x H) and weighs @ 180 lbs. The enclosure and base are all aluminum. The fuel tank is about 1.5 gallons.

Let me know if you would like any other information.
