The Century Series Advantage Extremely lightweight and compact.
Westerbeke’s Century Series generators are intended for use on larger motor yachts and sailboats as well as in demanding government, military and commercial applications.
Six models rated 40 through 95 kilowatts at 60 Hertz and 30 through 80 kilowatts at 50 Hertz are powered by turbocharged diesel engines. All models are among the most compact in their class with especially short lengths and low heights. Even more noticeable is the extremely light weight of each model. Century Series generators are lighter, lower in height and shorter than most competitors in their class!
Standard Features
Smooth and Quiet Operation Unique to the Century Series generators are fluidlastic isolation mounts that are provided as standard. These mounts provide the best possible vibration isolation and eliminate noise transmission to the vessel’s hull.
Engine Turbo charged 4.3 and 6.5 liter diesel engines power the Century Series generators. Both the cylinder head and block are cast iron while the crankshaft is made of forged high carbon steel for additional strength. Replaceable chromium plated, dry cylinder liners contribute to an extended engine life. Glow plugs aid cold weather starting. An easily accessible oil drain hose assists with routine maintenance.
Safety Devices All Century Series models are equipped with overspeed, low oil pressure, high coolant temperature and high exhaust temperature safety shutdowns. AC short circuit and overload protection are provided using a generator field circuit breaker. Other safety devices include an oil bypass alarm and fail safe mounts.
Cupro-Nickel Heat Exchanger Century Series generators are fresh water cooled with a standard cupronickel heat exchanger that mounts directly to the underside of the water-jacketed exhaust manifold for more efficient cooling. This unique Westerbeke design and the use of cast aluminum piping minimizes the use of hose connections in the cooling system, providing added reliability and reduced maintenance.
AC Generator The AC generators are all class “H” insulated (the highest NEMA insulation rating) and double vacuum epoxy impregnated for protection against the harsh marine environment. Electronic governing and voltage regulation provide .5% frequency regulation and 1% voltage regulation.
Durable Anti-Corrosive Paint Westerbeke’s new paint system now offers increased resistance to the harsh marine environment through the use of an iron phosphate pre-treatment, a non-chrome sealer and a special high gloss acrylic enamel. Westerbeke’s system is not only durable but environmentally friendly. The paint and sealers meet state and federal clean air and water standards.
