M20CRW3 Specification Sheet

Product catalog summary
Engine Block
The M20CRW3 features a four-cycle, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, naturally aspirated diesel engine with overhead valves. It includes swirl combustion chambers for improved fuel efficiency and reduced smoke, and glow plugs for quick cold starting.

Cooling System
The engine uses a jacket-water cooling system available in heat exchanger or keel cooled configurations. The one-piece heat exchanger housing includes an expansion tank and liquid-cooled exhaust manifold, reducing the need for hoses and gaskets. The keel cooling configuration is standard, while the heat exchanger cooling is optional and features a removable cupro-nickel tube-type element for easy cleaning.

AC Generator
The Northern Lights direct-coupled, brushless AC generator is maintenance-free and reconnectable for 1 or 3 phase, 60 Hz output. It includes an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) with circuit breaker protection and features high-quality Class “H” epoxy insulation.

Intake and Exhaust
The system meets US EPA Tier II emission requirements and includes a disposable dry air cleaner and a 1 1/2 inch NPT exhaust outlet.

Lubrication System
The lubrication system includes a full-flow, spin-on oil filter with bypass, an 8.6 qt. oil capacity, and a closed crankcase vent system. Oil changes are recommended every 200 hours.

Fuel System
The self-venting fuel system includes an injection pump with a 5% mechanical governor, pintle injectors with replaceable tips, and a mechanical lift pump with a hand primer.

DC Electrical System
The DC system uses reliable relays and includes a 12-volt starter motor and battery charging alternator. The standard panel features various gauges and switches, and the system is expandable to six panels.

Special Equipment
The engine is mounted on a rigid welded steel base frame with four platform mounts to isolate vibration. It is finished with tough gray enamel paint.

Dimensions and Performance
The M20CRW3 has overall dimensions of 43.2 x 20.7 x 32.8 inches and a dry weight of approximately 820 lbs. It provides an AC output of 20 kW at 60 Hz and 1800 RPM, with a fuel consumption of 1.7 gph at full load and 1.0 gph at half load.
