Emissions data measurement procedures are consistent with those described in EPA CFR 40 Part 89, Subpart D & E and ISO8178-1 for
measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx. Data shown is based on steady state operating conditions of 77ºF, 28.42 in HG and number 2 diesel fuel
with 35º API and LHV of 18,390 btu/lb. The nominal emissions data shown is subject to instrumentation, measurement, facility and engine
to engine variations. Emissions data is based on 100% load and thus cannot be used to compare to EPA regulations which use values
based on a weighted cycle.

Standby - Output available with varying load for the
duration of the interruption of the normal source power.
Average power output is 70% of the standby power
rating. Typical operation is 200 hours per year, with
maximum expected usage of 500 hours per year.
Standby power in accordance with ISO8528. Fuel stop
power in accordance with ISO3046. Standby ambients
shown indicate ambient temperature at 100% load which
results in a coolant top tank temperature just below the
shutdown temperature.
