1.2
GENERATING SETS FOR VEHICLES
Whisper 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 of the W-SQ20 is cooled by a
radiator with an electric (230V or 3x400V) driven fan. Note
that the alternator of the W-SQ20 is cooled by air. The
radiator of the engine 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, neither
fiberglass nor plastic exhaust parts in a dry
exhaust system as applied on vehicles.
Unless indicated otherwise.
