Genset - water cooling type

03/23/2008 1:08 AM

Dear my friends,

Now i have to choose a genset 2000kVA for my project (a 18 storages building).

Genset located in Basement 3 of building. I use a water cooling tower on the top floor to cool genset.

I need informations about this genset type (principle schematic, specifications, etc).

Could you help me?

Go to the website of Cummins, Caterpillar and MTU Detroit Diesel. Go to Generator sets. Look up "Literature" and other technical publications. The cooling system mounted several floors above the engine will cause excessive static head on the water pump seal. The manufacturer will have recommendations for cooling on a roof, and engine below, a common setup. Any supplier will be happy to come visit you and make recommendations face to face.
