  • Patent number: 11506118
    Abstract: A genset module coupling assembly includes a cross-bar of a module chassis oriented orthogonal to an engine neutral axis of vibration defined by an engine mounted on an engine chassis, a first bracket coupled to the cross-bar on a first side of the engine neutral axis of vibration, and a second bracket coupled to the cross-bar on a second side of the engine neutral axis of vibration. The first bracket and the second bracket are positioned to minimize communication of vibrations from the engine chassis to the module chassis.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10876471
    Abstract: A genset enclosure assembly comprises a first enclosure defining a first internal volume. A genset engine is positioned within the first internal volume. A first opening is defined in a first sidewall of a first side of the first enclosure. The genset enclosure assembly also includes a second enclosure defining a second internal volume. The second enclosure is positioned adjacent to the first side and removably coupled to the first side of the first enclosure. A first genset module is positioned in the second internal volume and operably coupled to the genset engine through the first opening.

  • Publication number: 20180354712
    Abstract: A container for a genset comprises a housing defining an internal volume. The housing includes a floor, a roof and a plurality of sidewalls at least one of which is movable relative to the roof and the floor between a first configuration in which the housing has a first width, and a second configuration in which the housing has a second width greater than the first width. The first width is not sufficient for a user to enter the internal volume of the housing for accessing a genset disposed within the housing, and the second width is sufficient for the user to enter the internal volume for accessing the genset. The first width can be the same as the width of an International Organization for Standardization 6346 container.
