Tier 2
Package Generator Set
 C175 – Standby 3100 ekW: Without Fan (Tier 2)

Without Fan Rating:

• Generator set package is not configured/rated for an engine driven radiator
• A remote radiator or cooling tower is required to meet engine cooling
requirements
• Power consumption by an electrically driven fan drive will reduce the
system’s net/exportable power below the ‘3100 ekW w/o Fan’ generator
nameplate rating
• (3100 ekW w/o Fan) – (Electrical Fan Power) = Net/Exportable Power
• A electrically driven, horizontal remote radiator is offered as an option from
the Caterpillar factory
