Having a maximum Rated Output as detailed; designed, built and tested by Beta Marine Limited, each comprising:

• Powered by a Beta Marine water cooled ‘Kubota’ marine specification heat exchanger cooled auxiliary diesel engine naturally aspirated and rated at either 1,500 or 3,000 rev/min for operation in accordance with ISO 3046.
• Our high quality BetaGen marine grade acoustic housings are manufactured with zintec/steel, a 40mm sound insulated lining and removable panels for easy maintenance; the noise level will be less than 60dB(A) when measured at 7 metres under “free field” conditions. This is (at least) a further 10dB(A) reduction from our already quiet gensets – equivalent to about half the noise level as perceived by the human ear.
• Heat exchanger cooling complete with cupro-nickel tube bundle and phosphor bronze end caps and anode, with fresh and sea water pumps.
• Water cooled exhaust manifolds and water injection exhaust bend.
• 12 volt electric start system with battery charging alternator and stop solenoid valve, 2 wire grounded system (insulated return is standard on BetaGen 26, 33, 40 and 49).
• Combined start/stop, alarm and protection module is supplied loose with 3 metres of connection cable. Module includes: Starting and Stopping push buttons,  an hours run meter, and indicators with shutdown on fault of low lubricating oil pressure and high coolant temperature.
• Speed governor to control engine speed to the requirements of ISO 3046 for diesel generating set.
• Beta Marine standard fuel oil, lubricating oil and combustion air filters. Engine mounted sump drain pump.
• Mecc Alte alternator marine rated to ISO standard, brushless, self ventilated with IP 23 protection, single bearing construction. The generator is self regulating and self excited and is complete with terminal box and automatic voltage regulator, fully suitable for use in engine room environments of 45°C.
• Engine and generator are close coupled together and mounted on substantial steel feet with marine failsafe anti-vibration mountings to isolate the set from the ships seating.
• Paint: Beta Red for heat exchanger cooling or Dark Brunswick Green for keel cooling engines; and the acoustic enclosure will be painted White.
• Each generating set is “full load” tested in accordance with our quality document QA023.
• Warranty: 12 months from date of commissioning or 18 months from date of despatch – which ever comes first.
• Keel /box cooling versions are available and alternative specifications and requirements can be quoted on request.

Packing Case for BetaGen models

 

• Please note that on the BetaGen 26, 33, 40 & 49 are supplied with insulated electrics, the control module has key start/stop and a mandatory hour meter is also supplied loose, except remote control option.
• For operation in Ship’s engine room at 45°C ambient the outputs should be de-rated: 8% for naturally aspirated engines, 11% for turbocharged engines.
• The BetaGen 4/2 and 6/2 are unity power factor machines.
• A copy of the ‘Lloyds Register Design Appraisal document’ can be supplied free of charge.
• 60Hz versions are available, ratings and prices will be provided on request.
• We reserve the right to change specifications without notice. All goods are offered and supplied in accordance with our current “General Terms of Tender and Sale”.
