[RE-wrenches] WATER COOLED - 1800 RPM - 13KW GENERATORS INQUIRY

[Dana Orzel]

The question was - When might these units be available?

 

The first request from the manu. was to get a survey of how many units might
get sold per year & responses are still trickling in slowly. 

Next Tump & I will be in a zoom meeting with the company powers that be & at
that point they need to source & design. 

I would bet it is out aways still depending on equipment
choices/availability, testing & UL certification etc.

 

I would not even dare to guess but when we ca report back with a date we
will do so.

Thanks for this - there is certainly demand. I could see my company buying a
3-5 per year. 

 

Is there any estimate of timeline when these might be available?

Hey now all you off grid designer/installers,

 

I just had a conversation with generator manufacturer (name withheld for the
moment), about 8-13KW water cooled gensets with UL & LP gas powered. I
explained that there is a long time hole in the market since Onan & Kohler
dropped their gensets for prime power in this size range.

 

If they made the investment to produce & UL certify a 13KW - 1800 RPM -
water cooled - 2 wire start, prime power rated - 120/240vac genset, how many
off grid systems are being installed with oversized gensets?

 

If this was available how many units would each of you be interested in per
year? I am not asking for a commitment just a market survey for this sized
unit.

 

If there was 20-30 companies selling 4-5+ each per year this might be a
possibility.

 

Let me know either off list or on list (if this is OK ? Michael let us know)
& I hope there is a possibility here for more appropriately sized &
available gensets for our off grid client systems.

I will be passing along this research to the OE manufacturer. If you do not
want your name passed along let me know for now.
