    I was a 52E (prime power production specialist) in the US Army and I operated and repaired very large gen sets. When I retired I worked for Detroit Diesel as a field service technician. Was hired after that to work with the Corps of Engineers to work on the turbines inside the dam across the western US. I do love the smell of diesel and the sound of turbos and turbine generators. Miss it. 🤙

When I switched I knew the Army didn’t have sonar, duh…lol, so I said I want something dealing with a lot of power. I guess power plants fit that criteria. Was offered a job continuing with the Corps of Engineers to work on all the dams out west here, servicing all of the water turbines and turbine generators the generate the power out here. Thought about it but, was offered a $hit ton of money by Detroit Diesel. Was great work and saw some of the most intense yachts around the world. Never got to see anyone but the engineers and engine space mechanics. But, yeah diesel just gets you…when you hear four massive turbos and look at the dyno…yeah. 😉😀

    • @Lubbocksfinest
      @Lubbocksfinest 10 месяцев назад

      I work at a rock quarry and our smaller generators for smaller units (Perkins and Cummins generators) idle high right away. Our big cat generator has a high/ low idle switch so when it’s warming up you can let it low idle(1k rpms) but they’re really only revving to 1800 max anyway. They do that to be ready for electrical load immediately since the voltage is based on engine rpms and you cant start a 480v motor at 300 volts. I like our cat generator when it’s at low idle but when you kick it to high idle and the fan goes on high speed it is unbelievable how loud it is.

      In emergency generator service (eg backup power for hospitals) it is usual to employ electric lube oil heaters so that the engine will start and accept full load very quickly. The heaters that Rolls Royce supply (probably made by Lucas) quietly go open circuit. The engine starts ok, but when the control system switches over the load, the engine struggles, firing erratically and as the oil is cold, damage to big end bearings occurs.

      @@zeusapollo8688 ; Presumably you meant L Gardner. They had a good name but were in a completely different market. Gardner had mass produced small engines for truck and small boat service, up to about 300 HP. Blackstone made large engines against individual order in much larger service for electric power generation. Rolls Royce covered both markets, as did and still do, Caterpillar, up to thousands of horsepower.
      Thus it is not valid to compare Gardner against these other makers.
      Gardner had its heyday back when naturally aspirated engines were common, typically making about 12 HP per litre. Modern small diesels are all turbocharged, have precision fuel injection and make more than twice that. Getting durability and reliability is easy when your engines make only half the power and have higher specific fuel consumption. To compete now engines designers need a lot more expertise and test equipment. That's why Gardner is also no longer around.

      It could hardly power a small town, except through the power of magic. These gensets come in a range of 3000-4000 kVA, sound like a large number doesn't it? However, the local transformer in my block comes in at 630kVA and we have natural gas for heating purposes. My local neighborhood houses about 10000 and there are roughly 30-40 of those installed. So basically, no you couldn't even power my non-american energy efficient neighborhood with one of these, let alone a small town.
      These gensets are typically used for large festivals (and you usually need multiple), last festival I was involved in used about 8 gensets of various sizes ranging from 500 kVA to 2000 kVA. The only reason we used smaller ones is the cost of transport. It's basically cheaper to rent multiple smaller units. Yes it looks big, it sounds big and 4000 kVA is a looooot of power, but it is nowhere near enough for a town.
