The C18 is the latest generator and brings commonality with our petroleum products as well as interfacing improvements. We have also taken this opportunity to add new price list options. All engine ratings and emissions certifications are the same, however we have been able to increase the power output of the generator for 12 of the 14 ratings.

C18 ACERT Tier 3

Features

  • Separate circuit aftercooling system

    The primary advantage of the separate circuit aftercooling system (SCAC) is that no sea water circulates through the aftercooler

  • Emissions

    EPA Tier 3 compliant, IMO II and EU IWW compliant

  • Cooling system

    Heat exchanger and Keel cooled options for all ratings

  • Turbo Configurations

    Single turbo configurations for all ratings

  • Competitive size and weight

  • Marine Certifications

    All major MCS type approvals available from factory
