8BCDT Marine Diesel Generator
Compact for Tight Installations
The new 8BCDT is powered by a compact, two-cylin-
der diesel engine and is designed for optimum
performance where space is limited. Its compact
design allows it to be installed in spaces most
generators can't fit!
Designed for Quiet Running
The engine is designed with indirect injection for qui-
eter engine operation. The sound enclosure is con-
structed of fiberglass lined with high-density acoustic
insulation for optimum sound reduction. A double
mounting system, engineered for maximum vibration
isolation, is incorporated in the sound enclosure.
Water Cooled AC Generator
The AC generator is enclosed in a water-cooled
stainless steel jacket. This allows the 8BCDT greater
sound deadening since large openings in the sound
shield are not required for air-cooling. The water-
cooled jacket is oversized which eliminates block-
ages and provides a maximum flow of cooling water
around the generator. The water jacket also cools the
air going through the rotor of the generator, the
engine combustion air and the unit-mounted controls
for the engine and generator.
User Friendly Remote Control Panel
The standard plug-in remote control panel is
designed to be user friendly and provides the opera-
tor with all the necessary information and controls to
use the generator. The panel includes one-touch
start/stop controls, automatic shutoffs with indicating
lights for low oil pressure and high engine tempera-
ture, a battery charge indicator light and an AC load
indicator.
Environmentally Clean Engine
Meets all EPA and CARB emissions standards. The
environmentally friendly engine is also equipped with
an oil cooler that insures proper engine lubrication
and cooling in installations with high ambient air and
cooling water temperatures.
