5, Fuel consumption data taken from the relevant performance curve, and is based on a specific
gravity of #2-D diesel of 0.85 Kg/litre.
6, Tabulation quotes typical fuel consumption within 5%
7, Reference data obtained and corrected in accordance with ISO 3046 conditions of 100Kpa
barometric pressure, 110m altitude, 25oC air inlet temperature and relative humidity of 30%.
8, Net engine outputs quoted are based on maximum engine ratings less deductions for the standard
STARPAC fan arrangement etc at standard operating conditions.
9, Typical Generator set outputs are based on an alternator efficiency range of 87-89% and 0.8 p.f.
10, All engines use dry type exhaust manifolds.
11, Data for 6CTAA8.3G1 is with RA9050 cooling package
