Lombardini LMG14000 12kW 15kVA Single Phase 50Hz Marine Diesel Generator

Description

During extended summer offshore cruising passages, the Lombardini LMG14000 Marine Diesel Generator produces 12.0 kW continuous single-phase electrical power with 15.0 kVA peak capacity at 3,000 RPM. Powered by a three-cylinder 1.028-liter diesel engine, this 50 Hz marine auxiliary power plant utilizes freshwater heat exchanger cooling to sustain multi-zone cabin air conditioning, watermakers, and galley induction ranges without line voltage droop.

A rigid cast iron engine block integrates three in-line cylinders to absorb mechanical harmonic stress within enclosed marine machinery spaces. The rotating group features a heat-treated forged alloy crankshaft, forged steel connecting rods, and oil-cooled aluminum pistons. Engine geometry measures a 72 mm bore, 84 mm stroke, 22.8:1 compression ratio, 3.0-quart oil pan volume, and dry net weight of 440 lbs inside its acoustic sound shield.

Key Features of Lombardini LMG14000

Yacht owners buy Lombardini LMG14000 generator packages to modernize obsolete auxiliary engines inside cramped mid-cabin spaces. This 50 Hz package generates clean alternating current to run cabin comforts without battery bank exhaustion.

• 12.0 kW continuous 230-volt single-phase output maintains salon cooling and galley refrigeration without generator strain.
• Synchronous brushless alternator design eliminates commutator brush maintenance while stabilizing total harmonic distortion.
• Acoustic sound housing suppresses internal combustion noise down to 54 decibels at seven meters distance.
• LMG14000 marine diesel generator digital control board monitors exhaust temp, oil pressure, and raw water flow.
• Cupronickel tube-and-shell heat exchanger shields internal cast iron block passages from direct raw seawater contact.
• Single-side service design clusters fluid dipsticks and spin-on filters behind one fast-release latching panel.
• Water-cooled cast iron exhaust elbow isolates extreme exhaust heat from composite yacht bulkheads.

Alternator Load Dyno Capabilities

Operating at an exact 3,000 RPM governing point, this four-stroke diesel maintains stable 50 Hz current. Full electrical output yields 12.0 kW and 52.1 amps across 230-volt lines. Measured fuel burn records 0.70 gallons per hour at 50 percent load and 1.25 gallons per hour at maximum output. Internal oil galleries maintain 35 to 55 PSI hot pressure, safeguarding main bearing journals from thermal fatigue during extended cruising under full continuous electrical loads.

Bilge Mounting Envelope Dimensions

The compact sound shield measures 810 mm in length, 490 mm in width, and 580 mm in height. Heavy neoprene base mounts absorb secondary hull harmonics. Exhaust plumbing connects to a 2-inch water-injected exhaust elbow, while the front and starboard service panels demand five inches of clearance for lube maintenance.

Scheduled Marine Service Rules

Operate the fuel feed priming arm to evacuate air from diesel filter bowls before initial engine start. Maintain full expansion bottle coolant levels to prevent dry heat cycles. This marine unit is not engineered for raw sea water block cooling, open deck installations, or unvented gasoline holds.

• Extract factory run-in oil and renew full-flow filter elements after the initial 50 hours of operation.
• Check raw water pump impeller flexibility and clean fuel separator bowls every 200 running hours.
• Descale heat exchanger core tubes and thread in fresh zinc protection plugs every 12 months.

Pleasure Craft Warranty Manifest

Lombardini includes a comprehensive 24-Month limited warranty on all pleasure craft installations. The reinforced freight crate contains the complete encased generator package, remote digital start panel, isolated vibration mounts, factory run verification printout, and complete owner service manual binder.
