DUKE | DIESEL DC GENERATORS

ALTEN manufactures highly efficient diesel DC generators to backup batteries used in mobile and stationary ap-plications. Our line of DUKE Diesel DC Generators can increase DC power system reliability wherever small to large battery systems are used, on land or at sea. In addition to our line of DC generators, ALTEN also provides design, engineering, manufacturing and field services for DC systems to customers in the telecom, oil and gas, renewable energy, security and remote power supply industries.

Large batteries systems used in industrial equipment and commercial applications, including remote power systems, require reliable backup battery charging equipment. Our DUKE Generators recharge batteries anywhere, quickly, safely and efficiently. The Duke lineup comes in portable and stationary versions with many options to fit most ap-plications. Batteries used in critical service applications can count on Duke Diesel DC Generators to carry the load during primary power supply outages or solar/wind energy shortfalls.

The DUKE series is built to survive rugged applications. Check out our lineup of DUKE Diesel DC Generators and call us today to discuss your application, available features and pricing.

SELECT A GENERATOR MODELALTEN’s lineup of DUKE Diesel DC Generators are available for 12, 24 and 48 volt systems, and can be customized for almost any unique application. Powered by highly efficient and dependable HATZ air-cooled diesel engines, our DC generators are available with the following configurations:

MODEL VOLT AMP START TYPE

DUKE 12120 R RECOIL START, The R model is the base engine style with a recoil rope to start the engine, a manual push button to stop the engine and an attached one gallon fuel tank.

DUKE 12180

DUKE 12300 E ELECTRIC START, The E model comes with a 12V starter and charging system that is controlled by a digital engine controller with keyed lockout and engine sensors to monitor all engine vitals and display engine status and alarms.DUKE 2445

DUKE 2480

DUKE 24160 EX EXTENDED RUNTIME, Available only with the Electric Start models, the EX has all the features of the E model plus an extra deep aluminum sump that increases the reservoir capacity, doubling the service interval from 250 hours to 500 hours for special applications where access is limited to service the Duke on a regular basis.

DUKE 4850

DUKE 48100

SELECT OPTIONS FOR CONFIGURATIONOnce the right engine configuration has been selected (e.g. DUKE 2480 EX) you can add the following options to configure your DUKE Diesel DC Generator to your specific application:

AUTO START ENCLOSURE

The DUKE Auto Start system monitors battery state-of-charge and automatically operates the DUKE Diesel DC Generator. The system can allow for further automation of functions and communications. (Only available with E and EX models).

The DUKE enclosure is made with 5052 corrosion resistant aluminum and powder coated to withstand harsh environments and rugged applications. Machine inserted plated fastening hardware provides for precision assembly and added durability. Built-in engine vibration isolation and ventilation provide for smooth and cool operation.

FUEL SUPPLY OPTIONS REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM

All of our DUKE Diesel DC Generators are available with a choice of three fuel supply options:

▶ 1 gallon fuel tank (standard) ▶ 20 gallon base fuel tank for up to 80 hours of

runtime ▶ an auxiliary fuel supply connection to connect

directly to onsite or on-vehicle fuel storage tanks

Based on a MODBUS communications protocol, the DUKE Remote Monitoring System (RMS) provides IP-based connectivity through any internet browser. Users can manually operate and monitor the DUKE Diesel DC Generator. The RMS also supports other peripherals through serial, USB and relay ports and terminals.

PORTABLE CART COLD WEATHER KIT

2-wheeled pneumatic rubber tired cart with pull handle, allows for safe and effortless transport of the DUKE Diesel DC Generator to wherever it’s needed around the site.

The DUKE Cold Weather Kit is a necessity for any application where ambient temperature falls below 0°C (32°F). The onboard thermostat controls an 80W block heater to keep the engine ready for cold starts.

NOISE DAMPENING OPEN BASE PLATE

The Hatz diesel engine runs smooth a quiet compared to other air-cooled diesel engines. However, if noise is a concern, further dampening can be achieved with the DUKE secondary muffler kit.

A formed 5052 aluminum base plate with engine vibration isolation. This option allows for an open configuration and custom mounting of the DUKE Diesel DC Generator.
