  • Patent number: 10851719
    Abstract: Systems are disclosed for supplying fuel to fuel-injected gensets in a recreational vehicle. An apparatus includes a fuel injection system having a fuel reservoir and a first pump fluidly coupled to the first reservoir and structured to supply fuel to the fuel reservoir. The fuel injection system is further provided with a pressure sensor and a second pump. The second pump is fluidly coupled to the pressure sensor and structured to provide pressurized fuel from the fuel reservoir to one or more fuel injectors of an associated engine. The second pump is a variable speed fuel pump.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7377237
    Abstract: A cooling system for a hybrid power system that includes an engine employs an engine cooling circuit to deliver coolant to the engine, the engine cooling circuit including a radiator and a main fan to draw air through the radiator. When the hybrid power system further includes an inverter, then the inverter is cooled via an inverter cooling circuit that is formulated as one portion of the cooling system to deliver coolant to the inverter, the inverter cooling circuit including a heat exchanger located such that the main fan draws air through the heat exchanger when the main fan is active. The cooling system also includes a secondary fan to selectively draw air though the heat exchanger during operation of an inverter cooling circuit coolant pump.
