2. Technical data for Lister Petter LPW(X) and LPWS engines.
Table 2 gives technical data for all
the engines in the Lister Petter Alpha
(LPW, LPWX) and New Alpha (LPWS)
range.
2.1 CoMBUstIon AIR
Engine performance is affected by
ambient temperature
, which is taken
to mean the temperature of the air
entering the engine.
The temperature of the combustion air
is measured at the air inlet manifold, or
the air cleaner, and the temperature
of the cooling air is measured at the
radiator fan inlet. The higher of these
two temperatures is taken as being
ambient temperature
as far as engine
ratings are concerned.
Every effort should be taken to
ensure that the air cleaner draws in
combustion air at a consistent ambient

temperature. Lister Petter LPW, LPWX,
LPWT, LPWS and LPWST engines are
able to run satisfactorily at ambient
temperatures up to the standard engine
reference condition of 25°C (77°F)
without derating. If the combustion
air temperature rises above this
temperature, the rated power must
be reduced in accordance with the
relevant standard:
LPW/LPWX/LPWT
ISO 3046
LPWS
ISO 14396
Generating Sets
ISO 8528
The maximum permitted ambient
temperature is 52°C (125°F).
2.2 tHe CooLInG sYsteM
Cooling is by a radiator with water
circulation being assisted by an engine
mounted, centrifugal, belt driven water
pump using a single belt.
