for prime power or long-term continuous operation, especially in climates where its efficiency advantage is significant. The Air Cooled Heat Exchanger (ACHE) remains the champion for standby, mobile, and smaller industrial Gensets due to its simplicity, reliability, and independence from water. The choice ultimately boils...

Advantages of a Cooling Tower System for Gensets

Key Components of the System Genset Cooling System

While a Water-Cooling Tower is not typically used directly with a Genset engine, it is a critical component in large, stationary power generation facilities for rejecting the massive amounts of waste heat from the engine’s cooling system. It represents a different philosophy compared to the self-contained Air-Cooled Heat...
