Kohler enters APU market
Kohler Power Systems has announced it is entering the
auxiliary power unit (APU) market, offering an air-cooled, 5-kW APU in a
“side-rail mounted size.” The APU will be available later this year.
Kohler said that with dimensions of 27” x 26” x 23” and a
weight of under 350 lb., the APU is one of the smallest and lightest air-cooled
generators on the market. It provides 120-volt AC and 50-Amp DC power.
According to Kohler, its direct-drive alternator eliminates alternator belts, thereby increasing reliability and reducing maintenance. The oil service interval is 500 hours.
“The Kohler APU provides peace of mind that comes with a
focus on reliability and ease-of-use, backed by an industry-leading
distribution and service network of more than 500 Kohler distributors and
dealers nationwide,” said Chris Baldwin, director of Kohler’s Mobile Generator
Business.
