Paguro Marine Generators 3-16 kW 3000 RPM
Description
Sustain complete vessel auxiliary power requirements using the Paguro 3000 RPM Marine Generator Range. Covering continuous electrical capacities from 3 kW to 16 kW, these compact marine diesel generator sets operate at 3,000 RPM across single-phase and three-phase electrical configurations. Dual-circuit water cooling envelopes both the diesel engine block and alternator windings, supporting full shipboard hotel loads without interior heat soak.
Dense cast iron block construction across one, two, three, and four-cylinder engine variants dampens mechanical combustion clatter. The balanced reciprocating train incorporates forged alloy steel crankshafts, heavy-section connecting rods, and oil-cooled aluminum pistons. Engine configurations span displacements from 0.342 liters to 1.372 liters with dry weights ranging from 185 lbs to 507 lbs. Complete freshwater cooling enclosures protect internal engine and alternator surfaces from salt air.
Key Features of Paguro 3000 RPM Generators
Yacht builders buy Paguro 3000 RPM generator range packages to secure lightweight, high-output auxiliary power inside cramped machinery compartments. These high-speed units provide clean 230-volt single-phase or 400-volt three-phase energy to run multi-zone air conditioning, watermakers, and commercial galleys.
- 3 kW to 16 kW power bracket outputs matched electrical capacities for mid-cabin cruisers and luxury catamarans.
- Synchronous and permanent magnet alternator options hold line voltage variation within one percent under load.
- Fiberglass sound capsules suppress operational noise levels down to 53 decibels at seven meters distance.
- Paguro 3000 RPM marine generator digital control panels monitor voltage, coolant heat, oil pressure, and hours.
- Dual-circuit liquid cooling wraps both the diesel engine block and electrical stator in freshwater jackets.
- Single-side maintenance layouts place filters, dipsticks, and sea water impellers behind fast-release latches.
- Water-cooled cast iron exhaust elbows isolate thermal radiation from composite fiberglass engine beds.
High Speed Alternator Dyno Capabilities
Governed to a fixed 3,000 RPM operating speed, these four-stroke diesel generators produce stable 50 Hz power across marine distribution panels. Specific fuel consumption rates range from 0.22 gallons per hour on single-cylinder units to 1.55 gallons per hour on top-tier four-cylinder variants. Pressurized lubrication circuits sustain 30 to 55 PSI hot oil pressure, shielding bearing journals during sustained offshore passages.
Bilge Room Machinery Clearances
Enclosure lengths vary from 580 mm to 860 mm, sliding between narrow stringer tracks in recreational boat bilges. Heavy neoprene base mounts absorb secondary hull harmonics. Exhaust plumbing accepts standard 1.25-inch to 2-inch water-injected exhaust hose, requiring five inches of side maintenance clearance.
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. These marine units are 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.
Factory Warranty Equipment Manifest
