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

[pieter offgridenterprises.org via RE-wrenches]

Over the past year we have installed a handful of wildcat 15 kw generators. 
Lead times remain a challenge but so far no operational issues.

Wildcat was hoping by early November to EOY to have a 15 KW and possibly a 10

The 15KW is slated to get UL listing down the road Time still to be determined

I heard back Friday from the generator manufacturers executive board meeting 
Friday morning there is their response:

Hi Dana,

I spoke with the executives this morning and we’re very excited to hear what 
the demand is for this genset is. If it makes sense, we’re all in.

Please let me know if your interest in a 13KW – 1800 RPM genset – water cooled 
is of interest for you & your off grid clients. I see this as a big opportunity 
for replacing the oversized gensets that we have been forced to use  for a long 
time now.

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.

We are desperate for a dependable liquid cooled generator in the 12-16 kW
range. If quality is there, I could see us installing 10+ a year.

The more our local utility tries to suppress solar, the more we are 
taking people off grid, so I would estimate 3 a year for our small locale.

How many folks require UL listing to install, this may expedite delivery?

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.

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

[Dana Orzel via RE-wrenches]

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.

I just had a conversation with generator manufacturer (name withheld for the

I will second with 4-5 per year.  The Kohlers are what we use currently also in 
the 8-14KW range for off-grid (mostly the 14KW size).

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

[Luke Christy via RE-wrenches]

Hi Dana,
Following up on this, I would certainly be interested. 
We are a  small shop but I typically sell and install 5-8 generators per year. 
These are almost always Kohler 3600rpm 14kW units, so a 13 kW low speed unit 
would be welcome as an option. 

Thanks!

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

[frenergy via RE-wrenches]

As an aside, maybe I've been living under a rock but I have not heard of 
1800 RPM gensets running on propane, but exclusive to diesel.  It sounds 
like that's a thing.  I'm small time off-grid here but I could easily 
see 3-4 units/year.  I'm assuming if this come to fruition, the 
manufacturer would be thinking off-grid durability, not home standby.  I 
like the water-cooled aspect of this proposal for less noise.


            I would also hope for a manufacturer that has good on the 
ground coverage for service, warranty, maintenance.

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.
