Printer-friendly versionPDF version

KOHLER, Wis. – June 2008 – The five new small-range diesel generators from Kohler Power Systems have been redesigned with compactness and durability in mind for standby and prime power applications. Available in 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 kW models, these new diesel generators also meet the 2008 CI emission regulations.

Both weatherproof and sound-attenuated enclosures are available, and keep the generator noise levels down to an impressive 65 dBA. The enclosures are available in rugged steel or aluminum construction to withstand the most harsh environments and climates.

The integral, in-skid fuel tanks offer a more compact design and provide between 24-48 hours of continuous operation.

Accessories for the five new KOHLER diesel generators include a block heater, battery charger, flexible fuel lines and circuit breakers. These five new KOHLER models also utilize the proven KOHLER DEC 3+ and DEC 550 controls.
