DESCRIPTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Carrier Transicold model 69UG15 under--mounted diesel--driven generator sets provide electrical power for all--electric refrigeration units.

The generator set (see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2) consists of a diesel engine direct--connected to an alternating current generator and mounted in a structural steel frame. The engine is a vertical in--line, four cylinder diesel manufactured by Kubota, while the generator is a 15 kW, brushless, single bearing type manufactured by Lima. The generator provides a constant 460 or 230 VAC, three--phase, 60 hertz electrical supply.

Electrical controls are mounted in a control box with operating controls and gauges mounted on a control panel, which also serves as the control box cover. The control panel components are protected by a deflector assembly or a windowed control box door.

Auxiliary engine equipment consists of the battery, solid state battery charging system, “spin--on” lube oil filter, fuel filter and other necessary components for proper unit operation. The water pump and the radiator cooling fan are belt--driven from the engine crankshaft. All references to engine are as viewed from the fly wheel end.

The 69UG15 is available as a standard configuration, with an Auto Restart option or with Auto Restart and Low Coolant Sensor. The Auto Restart option automatically restarts the unit in the event of a unit shutdown. Auto Restart also offers built--in indicators that signal low oil pressure, high water temperature, overspeed, and other overcrank conditions.

1.2 CONFIGURATION IDENTIFICATION

Generator set identification information is provided on a label located below the left mounting pad to the left of the access service door (front facing). The label provides the generator set model number, serial number, and parts identification number (PID). The model number identifies the overall configuration, while the PID provides information on specific optional equipment.

Separately bound manuals covering the diesel engine are also available (see the following chart).
