Yanmar Diesel Generator Offers Exceptional Features!The new Yanmar diesel generator has been well worth waiting for. We know the Yanmar name well - their diesel engines have been on our boats for years now. We needed a portable generator for our workshop and were going to settle on one of their radiator cooled models which are incredibly powerful, but decided that we really didn't need quite that much grunt so are now going to go with one of the new air cooled Yanmar diesel generator YDG models. We need exactly what this new generator is offering - and that is a compact unit that is quiet, has minimum power fluctuations, and is tough and reliable. The size of this new Yanmar diesel generator could easily have it passed off as a gasoline one. Because they are regarded as amongst the smallest in the world, they are proving to be very popular with the RV population who benefit greatly from the reduced size as well as the new quiet operation. Even though the noise issue isn't such an important thing for us, their YDG-S model features special sound-proofing measures which means it will pass any of the most stringent trailer park rules. To reduce the exhaust noise they have used a large silencer, and the engine sounds have been contained by a sound absorbing liner as well as a specially constructed double-wall liner. Noise prevention has also been addressed at the intake level through the combustion system. The Yanmar diesel generator includes an AVT on all models, which provides low-fluctuation power, suitable for supplying computer networks and electronic equipment. All the models in this series also have available 12V D.C., which is really handy if you want to charge car or boat batteries, which we will be doing on the weekends. One of the reasons we have to have a diesel generator is because of the continuous use it is going to be subjected to, and this is another reason why Yanmar came out on top. We will be able to run the Yanmar all day without having to refuel, and if we are away, it will also be able to be left go all night. These gensets work on direct fuel injection which is why they have such a low fuel consumption. The Yanmar diesel generator is a combination of Yanmar's small air-cooled diesel engine with a very compact U-frame generator. This perfect partnership has resulted in an extra lightweight generator that is incredibly easy to be moved around. It has also been mounted onto rubber blocks which removes all vibrations, and if you have had anything to do with generators, then you know this is a big important issue. As far as security systems go, the Yanmar diesel generator has an alarm which is activated when the oil level gets too low. As a further precautionary measure the engine will be stopped at the same time so that the chance of damage to the generator is minimized. Yanmar have also incorporated a recoil starter in this series, which makes starting quick and easy in all weather conditions, even in minus zero temperatures. |
