16KW Yanmar Marine Diesel Generator
Description
16 kW Yanmar Marine Diesel Generator
The 16KW Yanmar Marine Diesel Generator is a compact power solution designed for marine applications requiring dependable onboard electrical generation. Rated at 16 kW / 20 kVA prime power and 18 kW / 22.5 kVA standby power at 60 Hz, its compact footprint makes it well suited for installations where available space is an important consideration.
Power is supplied by the Yanmar 4TNV88-GGE, a 2.19-liter, 4-cylinder direct-injection diesel engine. The engine features a centrifugal all-speed governor and forced-feed lubrication system.
The generator is paired with a YPI30 alternator featuring a brushless, self-excited constant-voltage design with AVR, Class H insulation, and a 0.8 power factor.
At just 47.24 × 25.98 × 29.53 inches and 1,036 lbs., the unit provides substantial marine power in a relatively compact package. The specification sheet also lists a low 62 dB(A) noise level at 7 meters, making quiet operation another notable feature for marine environments.
