Hi Henri,
You tell us more about your project application:
I'm thinking the camshaft from a propane engine might be close.
I agree, just ensure you have the right valve insert seats also fitted. The
older cast iron inserts tend to burn out on the exhaust side.
My generator needs 100 hp @1800 rpm. It is a Hobart pipeliner with two 400 amp
sides @ thirty five volts dc. The ac capacity on the hobart is just 1500 watts
so I need ac auxiliary generators inc. single and three phase for shop power.
A three phase, three hp and a single phase five hp motors should do the trick.
I think I can generate enough 12 volt dc current during the day with storage
batteries to supply household power at night.
Cannot comment on the electrical power outputs, but if you are operating with
variable load, your consumption should be at around 60-70% of the maximum
output. This allows for motor start-up loading so the engine doesn't just groan
to a stall. I have to wonder if the turbo can respond quickly enough to
potential load increase to match the engine governor, so be aware to monitor
this once you get it all running. Probably it won't matter if you don't need a
high spec power supply.
Please post an update once you lash it all together.
Doug Williams.
