Description

The Cat C32 Marine Generator Set is based on a V12, 4-stroke turbocharged-aftercooled diesel with MEUI fuel system. All configurations use a separate circuit aftercooling (SCAC) system, which reduces aftercooler corrosion because no sea water circulates through the aftercooler.

  • Frequency / speed: 50/60 Hz, 1500/1800 rpm
  • Displacement: 32.1 L (1,959 in³); bore 145 mm, stroke 162 mm
  • Emissions: EPA Tier 4, IMO II/IMO III switchable, EU Stage V (also EPA Tier 3, IMO II, EU IWW, China II ratings)
  • Generator: SR5 form wound, permanent magnet excitation, 4-pole, 6 leads, 2 roller bearings, CDVR regulator, Class H insulation (Class F rise), IP23
  • Dimensions: length 4,271-4,452 mm, width 1,528 mm, height 1,667 mm; weight approx. 7,131 kg

Key features

  • Heat exchanger or keel cooling; optional front-mounted sea water pump on HEX configurations
  • Electronic diagnostics, fault logging and engine protection mode for extended ambient conditions
  • PT100 RTDs on stator windings and bearings; anti-condensation heaters
  • IP23 protection suitable for fixed water-based local application fire-fighting systems (FWBLAFFS); System IV insulation for harsh environments
