[RE-wrenches] Small diesel generator

[Foxfire Energy]

One of our customers in Northern Maine (a retired Merchant Marine Mechanic), Powers a small compound in the winter with a One Lung Lister Petter Diesel.. He set up the System in the basement of his shop.. the Lister has two huge flywheels, one belted to a 3k Mecc Alte Gen Head and the water jacket plumbed into the heating system for the shop.. When the outdoor temps drop below like 45F, he pops off the Lister and it runs 24/7 @ 740 rpm loaded at around 75%.. He figures he gets 100% of his power and around 85% of the heat for the shop for around a gallon and a half of biodiesel/day.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Small diesel generator

We 're looking into pairing a smaller 6-8KW diesel generator back -up to
an off-grid Outback system to take advantage of the surplus of
bio-diesel here. We're aware of the need to keep it a warmish winter
location Suggestions? Experiences? No China knock-offs thank you.
