Kohler Adds 13 & 15kw Models with
Direct-Drive PTO to Extensive Line of Marine Generators KOHLER, Wis. – February 2006 – The newest
gasoline marine generators from Kohler, the 13 and 15EGZ models, feature
a direct-drive PTO (power take-off) and electronic fuel-injected engine,
offering owners of houseboats, pleasure boats and cruisers more
versatility, enhanced engine performance, and better fuel efficiency.
These new models are available for immediate delivery.
The new 13EGZ and 15EGZ generators are equipped
with a 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder, single-overhead cam, port-injected engine
(rated at 1800 rpm) that also meets CARB and EPA Tier II emission
requirements. The engine is coupled to a KOHLER brushless rotating-field
alternator.
The rotors are designed with a unique direct-drive
stub-shaft PTO, providing needed power for bow or stern-thruster
systems.
Kohler introduced an engine control module to its
new line of gasoline generators, which is unique to the market. The
electronic control module is designed to provide enhanced engine speed
regulation, and optimized fuel and spark performance. The module and the
patented Kohler Advanced Digital Control work in harmony to optimize all
generator and engine functions so that the engine adapts to the
requirements of use during its lifetime.
These new marine generators are supported by a
five-year, limited and transferable warranty, and a global network of
authorized KOHLER dealers.
Additional 13EGZ & 15EGZ features:
Advanced Digital Control
Kohler’s advanced microprocessor controller is standard
on all of its marine diesel and gas generators. Monitoring
13 operational conditions, the ADC is designed to deliver
more precise voltage and frequency regulation for today’s
sophisticated boating electronics. The ADC offers enhanced
diagnostic and critical generator operational parameters on
an easy-to-read seven-segment alphanumeric display. The ADC
displays runtime hours, cyclic crank status, and system
fault codes.
Remote Digital Gauge
Complete systems monitoring includes the optional
three-inch Remote Digital Gauge which is available on all
models. The remote digital gauge provides starting/stopping
and complete systems monitoring from a location outside of
the engine room (i.e., at the yacht’s helm or power
distribution panel).
Ship to Shore Switch
The KOHLER ship-to-shore transfer switch allows immediate
switching to the Kohler generator set power or shore power,
protecting the electrical system from the possibility of
simultaneous connection to both power sources.
