C-Series brochure: 40-175 kW Northern Lights Commerical Generator sets - 1

Commercial Series 40 - 150 kW Selection without compromise. Underloaded and overloaded generators cause problems and waste money. With seven models, 20 to 150 kW, there is a Northern Lights commercial set that is right for your job. Mix and match these compatible sets for your best, single source, power solution. Tough Lugger diesels. Built for continuous duty, many Lugger powered sets have logged over 30,000 hours without a rebuild. Check the features and you will see why. Replaceable wet cylinder liners, liquid cooled turbos, cast-iron exhaust manifolds, plate oil coolers, cupronickel heat exchangers, gear driven seawater pumps. Rugged components built from the finest materials in a US EPA Tier II compliant package. Simple to operate and maintain. Hoses, gaskets and belts have been minimized. Control panels keep you in touch with your set’s performance while safety shutdowns protect it. DC relays are used instead of printed circuit boards. Most service points are on a single side to simplify maintenance. Electronic system profiler. “ESP” is a window to your set’s real time operating condition. The engine control unit that controls the electronic fuel injection on M65C2, M99C2 and M150C13 produces a stream of engine performance and diagnostic information that can be shown on an optional monitor. Superior generator ends. The sea is no place for a stand-by generator. All Northern Lights have low 110°/50° temperature rise ratings, Class H epoxy insulation and ±1.5% voltage regulation Complete options list. Each option is designed to integrate into a total power system custom built for your vessel. Consider a high power PTO that can supply up to 149 HP of hydraulic power at a touch of a button. Total unit load testing. Complete load testing is done with all accessories installed. Testing is just one of the quality controls that supports your decision to choose the very best commercial generator set for your workboat. High resale value. Northern Lights’ quality reputation is a big plus when you sell your vessel. Buyers will know you cared enough to install the very best equipment. Component Specific Features Engine Block • Lugger four or six cylinder, four cycle, in-line, liquid cooled, overhead valve, marine diesels based on heavy-duty industrial engine blocks. • Balanced, forged crankshaft with induction hardened journals and rolled fillets for long life. • Replaceable, wet cylinder liners for long life and low rebuild costs. • Bimetallic valves have chrome stems and rotators. • Replacable valve seats and guides. • Three ring aluminum alloy pistons with Ni-Resist insert for the top ring. Keystone piston ring reduces carbon buildup under light loads. • For smooth operation: four cylinders have two gear-driven, counterrotating balancing shafts. Six cylinder have torsional crankshaft dampers. • One poly-vee drive belt powers the alternator and jacket-water pump. Fuel System • Direct fuel injection systems • Ring clamp fuel lter(s) have air bleed and drain. • Diaphragm-type, mechanical fuel transfer pump with manual priming lever. • See “Model Specifications” Box for more details. Lubrication System • Positive displacement gear-type oil pump. • Full ow, spin-on oil lter. • Oil spray cooling reduces piston crown temperature for longer life. • Jacket-water, plate-type, full ow oil cooler reduces heat and lube oil breakdown. • Large capacity oil pan. • A closed loop crankcase vent to trap oil vapor and keep the vessel clean. • Dry air lter silences intake noise. • M40C2 is naturally aspirated. All others models have turbocharger with jacket water cooled turbine housings for safety. • M150C13 has a jacket water aftercooler for improved combustion and output. No second keel cooler needed. • Cast iron expansion tank with brass ller neck. • Two thermostats for quick warm-ups and safety. • Cast-iron exhaust manifold has two pass jacket-water ow for even temperature control. • Keel cooled configuration is standard. • Heat exchanger cooling option has: Cupro-nickel, tube type heat exchanger with removable ends for easy cleaning. Gear driven, beltless, flexible impeller, sea water pump is bronze and stainless steel. • M65C2, M99C2 and M150C13 have an Electronic System Profiler (ESP) which supplies a SAE J1939 data stream through a CANbus plug for optional engine monitor screen. • Negative ground, 12 volt DC system has circuit breaker, starter motor and alternator with regulator. • S-3C remote control panel with engine hour meter, coolant temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, DC voltage meter, start-stop and shutdown bypass switches. • Reliable, relay based DC system is easy to trouble shoot and repair. Up to 6 panels can be used up to 110 feet from set. • Low oil pressure and high coolant temperature safety shutdown system. • Prewired engine, panel have terminal strips. • Direct coupled, single bearing, 12 lead, reconnectable AC generator. Maintenance free brushless design. • Generators meet or exceed class society standards with Class “H” insulation, accessible diodes, oversized ball bearings, marine grade shafts and conservative 110°/50° heat rise ratings. • Engines and generators are torsionally matched for long life. • Automatic voltage regulator; ±1.5% regulation over the entire range from no load to full load. • M65C2, M99C2, M150C13: isochronous electronic governor for 0% AC frequency droop. M40C2 and M55C2 have mechanical governor for ±5% droop. Special Equipment • Welded steel base frame • Belt guard • Center bonded vibration isolation mounts • Tough gray enamel paint • Operator’s and parts manuals
