Generator Set Durability Testing

Abstract

Durability testing according to MIL-STD-705c 695.1a was performed on a variety of tactical quiet generators ranging in capacity from 2kW to 100kW. The testing was performed to assess the performance impact of a new fuel. The fuel was a 50/50 blend of JP-8 and HRJ-8. Although many mechanical and electrical problems occurred during testing, no fuel related failures were reported.
