I was a 52E (prime power production specialist) in the US Army and I operated and repaired very large gen sets. When I retired I worked for Detroit Diesel as a field service technician. Was hired after that to work with the Corps of Engineers to work on the turbines inside the dam across the western US. I do love the smell of diesel and the sound of turbos and turbine generators. Miss it. ๐ค

For a machine this massive, it sounds so smooth and relaxed...!
-
Wow that's an awesome sound. It kinda reminds me of a big piece of heavy equipment idling, which I guess makes sense as they might use the same or similar engine.
-
That will power my whole house and never come off idle. I want one.
-
Seldom I get to hear one idle. Usually eating a hot supper when I get there.

Legends waiting for that fan to spin ๐

We use this C175,16 Engine in the uk fitted into Diesel Electric Locomotives.

Usually a stand-by gen set for a hospital but we use them with a Highwall miner.
-
Very, very smooth. Beautiful engineering.

What a gentle beast ๐ช

I would love to hear it ramp up to 1800 Rpmโค
-
I wonder what the fuel consumption is per cylinder ? per each rotation cycle? Or for each minute Minimum/ maximum for the entire beast?
-
Sounds awesome
-
Purrs like a kitten !

I work on these for a CAT dealer. When these are fully loaded and all four turbos are screaming you canโt hear yourself think.
-
Quad turbos, fuckinโ metal ๐ค
-
These are still used as a primary power source in small villages here in BC.
-
Now that's a nice powerplant for a swap. ๐๐ป๐
