RCL CoolingThe RCL line uses three electric fans to remove heat: two (2) electric fans force air through the radiator to cool the engine, and one (1) electric fan removes heat from the enclosure. These fans are controlled by dedicated two-speed control circuits. On the 48 and 60kW units the radiator cooling high-speed circuit is […]
RCL CertificationsThe Kohler RCL line is certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conform to the New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) for stationary spark-ignited emissions. Additional UL 2200 and CSA certifications are available for the 60Hz units. This line is approved for stationary standby applications in areas served my a reliable utility source, but […]
RCL ControllerThe RCL line uses the same RDC2 controller as its smaller air-cooled siblings. This streamlines the basic unit operation between the two units. In addition to the RDC2 controller, the RCL line uses a dedicated engine control module (ECM) to run the engine. This is required due to the increased complexity of the liquid-cooled […]
The RCL line also uses EPA approved engines that are CARB certified. This is accomplished by the use of advanced ECMs and emission control devices. What makes the ECMs able to fine-tune the engine emissions so precisely? The ability to run in closed-loop mode. During operation, the ECM operates in one of two modes: open-loop […]
KOHLER RCL LineThe Kohler RCL line is designed to take residential power generation to the next level. This series includes units in the 24, 30, 38, 48, and 60kW range, liquid-cooled engines for increased run-time and durability, and EPA compliant engines. The efficiency and power of this series is unmatched, largely thanks to these units […]
Gen-Set Theory of OperationGenerators are mechanical devices that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. In every generator that Kohler produces, the mechanical power is provided by either an air or a liquid cooled internal combustion engine (ICE). These engines vary in size and power output, but the theory of operation behind them is identical. This […]
