GENERATING SETS FOR VEHICLES
1.2.1
Marine and mobile generators
WhisperPower generators originate from the marine
sector. But there are also specially designed Whispers
available for mobile applications, suitable for supplying
power on board of vehicles to use professional apparatus
and equipment, strong lightning and air conditioning etc.
The cooling system and exhaust system on vehicles is
completely different from standard marine systems.
On vehicles the engine and alternator are individually
cooled by radiator with an electric (12V/24V or 230V)
driven fan. The radiators can be fitted below, on top or in
the side of the vehicle.
The exhaust is of the dry type and includes a stainless
flexible bellow and high quality mufflers.
Never use rubber exhaust hose, nor plastic
exhaust parts in a dry exhaust system as
applied
on
vehicles,
unless
indicated
otherwise.
