C18
C18 Marine Generator Set
DESCRIPTION
The C18 is the latest generator and brings commonality with our petroleum products as well as interfacing improvements. We have also taken this opportunity to add new price list options. All engine ratings and emissions certifications are the same, however we have been able to increase the power output of the generator for 12 of the 14 ratings.Separate circuit aftercooling system
The primary advantage of the separate circuit aftercooling system (SCAC) is that no sea water circulates through the aftercooler
Emissions
EPA Tier 3 compliant, IMO II and EU IWW compliant
Cooling system
Heat exchanger and Keel cooled options for all ratings
Turbo Configurations
Single turbo configurations for all ratings
Competitive size and weight
Marine Certifications
All major MCS type approvals available from factory
