NL843NW4 Specification Sheet

Product catalog summary
Engine Block
The NL843NW4 features a four-cycle, three-cylinder, liquid-cooled, naturally aspirated diesel engine with overhead valves. It utilizes a swirl combustion design to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce smoke and noise. Glow plugs are included for quick starting in cold weather.

Cooling System
The engine is liquid-cooled with a radiator and pusher cooling fan. A steel radiator shroud and fan guard provide protection for both the radiator and the operator.

Self-Venting Fuel System
The system includes a Bosch-type in-line injection pump and a stop solenoid that controls the fuel rack to prevent speed variance. Engine speed is governed to 5% for precise AC frequency control. Pintle fuel injectors with replaceable tips reduce service costs. The system also features a mechanical fuel pump with a hand primer, a large spin-on fuel filter, and flexible fuel lines for easy connection.

Lubrication System
The engine has a full-flow, spin-on oil filter with a bypass and a 5.8-quart oil capacity for improved lubrication.

Intake and Exhaust
A large replaceable air filter protects the engine in dusty environments. The exhaust manifold includes a residential muffler, meeting US EPA Tier IV emission standards.

DC Electrical System
The 12-volt system includes a starter motor, battery charging alternator, and a solid-state voltage regulator. It features a safety shutdown system for low oil pressure and high coolant temperature.

AC Generator
The Northern Lights direct-coupled, brushless AC generator is maintenance-free, offering a 1-phase, 1.0 power factor output at 50 or 60 Hz. It includes an Automatic Voltage Regulator with circuit breaker protection and high-quality Class “H” epoxy insulation.

Special Equipment
The unit is mounted on a welded steel skid frame for easy installation and features flexible mounts to isolate engine vibration. It is finished with long-life blue enamel paint and includes operator and parts manuals. Quality control includes a test run with load.

Dimensions and Output
The overall dimensions are 45.7 x 18.1 x 33.1 inches (1060 x 461 x 841 mm). The AC output is 12 kW at 60 Hz, with optional three-phase output. The engine is a vertical three-cylinder diesel with a displacement of 91 in³ (1.5 liters) and a power output of 20 HP at 1800 RPM. Fuel consumption is approximately 1.2 gph at full load and 0.62 gph at half load. The approximate dry weight is 668 lbs (303 kg).
