This way performance is kept at its optimum while mostly eliminating the risk of engine damage caused by knock (e.g. when running on low octane fuel). [5] An early example of this is in turbocharged Saab H engines, where a system called Automatic Performance Control was used to reduce boost pressure if it caused the engine to knock. [6]

An engine-generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of self-contained equipment. The engines used are usually piston engines, but gas turbines can also be used, and there are even hybrid diesel-gas units, called dual-fuel units.
Founded by Robert Kern in 1959, the company soon began producing portable generators for Sears, Roebuck and Co. under the Craftsman brand. During the 1970s, Generac expanded its offerings in the portable and recreational vehicle markets, and in the 1980s the company entered the commercial and industrial markets with its backup power generation systems.
A 200 kW Caterpillar diesel generator set in a sound attenuated enclosure used as an emergency backup at a sewage treatment substation in Atlanta, United States. A diesel generator (DG) (also known as a diesel GenSet) is the combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often an alternator) to generate electrical energy. [1]
2010: a subsidiary is set up in Germany and a 15,000 m 2 expansion of the existing production site in Guipavas is under construction, due to open at the end of 2011. 2013: the group acquired a new subsidiary in Brazil - former name Maquigeral; 2016 : SDMO is being renamed KOHLER SDMO, a change of positioning and now a manufacturer of its own ...
The motor–generator set may contain a large flywheel to improve its ride-through; however, consideration must be taken in this application as the motor–generator will lose speed and may draw a large current when power returns or the circuit-breaker is re-closed. If the speed loss is excessive (the power outage is too long), the re-closure ...
It is a modification of the first experimental engine. On 17 February 1894, this engine ran under its own power for the first time. [10] Effective efficiency 16.6% Fuel consumption 519 g·kW −1 ·h −1 First fully functional diesel engine, designed by Imanuel Lauster, built from scratch, and finished by October 1896.
