| Diesel Generator:
Century 55 BED The Century Series
Advantage
Extremely lightweight and compact...
Unique to the Century Series generators are standard fluidlastic isolation
mounts providing the best possible vibration isolation and noise elimination
to the vessels hull.
The AC generators are all class "H" insulated (the highest NEMA
insulation rating) and double vacuum epoxy impregnated for protection
against the harsh marine environment.
All Century Generators are fresh water cooled with a standard cupro-nickel
heat exchanger that mounts directly to the underside of the water-jacket
exhaust manifold for more efficient cooling. Even more noticeable is the
extremely light weight of the Century series generators with especially
short lengths and low heights.
Standard Features
- Smooth and Quiet Operation
Unique to the Century Series generators are fluidlastic isolation
mounts that are provided as standard. These mounts provide the best
possible vibration isolation and eliminate noise transmission to the
vessel's hull.
- Engine
Naturally aspirated and turbo charged 4.3 and 6.5 liter engines power
the Century Series generators. Both the cylinder head and block are
cast iron while the crankshaft is made of pressed forged high carbon
steel, high frequency hardened, for additional strength. Replaceable
chromium plated, dry cylinders contribute to an extended engine life.
Glow plugs aid cold weather starting. An easily accessible oil drain
hose assists with routine maintenance.
- AC Generator
The AC generators are all class "H" insulated (the highest NEMA
rating) and double vacuum epoxy impregnated for protection against the
harsh marine environment. Electronic governing and voltage regulation
provide .5% frequency regulation and 1% voltage regulation.
- Safety Devices
All Century Series models are equipped with overspeed, low oil
pressure, high coolant temperature and high exhaust temperature safety
shutdowns. AC short circuit and overload protection are provided using
a generator field circuit breaker. Other safety devices include an oil
bypass alarm and fail safe mounts.

- Cupro-Nickel Heat Exchanger
All Century Series generators are fresh water cooled with a standard
cupro-nickel heat exchanger that mounts directly to the underside of
the water-jacketed exhaust manifold for more efficient cooling. This
unique Westerbeke design and the use of cast aluminum piping minimizes
the use of hose connections in the cooling system, providing added
reliability and reduced maintenance.
- Durable Anti-Corrosive Paint
Westerbeke's new paint system now offers increased resistance to the
harsh marine environment through the use of an iron phosphate
pre-treatment, a non-chrome sealer and a high gloss acrylic enamel.
Westerbeke's system is not only durable but environmentally friendly.
The paint and sealers meet state and federal clean air and water
standards.
- Gear-Driven Raw Water Pump
A new gear-driven raw water pump, designed and manufactured by
Westerbeke for optimum performance, is made of marine grade materials
for the best possible corrosion protection.
Full Torque Power Take-off Interface
All the Century Series generators have Westerbeke's renowned full
torque take-off interface at the rear of the generator.
- Engine Instrumentation Panel
A unit-mounted instrument panel includes water temperature and oil
pressure gauges, voltmeter and hourmeter as well as preheat and
start/stop switches. All panels are provided with a standard 15-pin,
plug in connector should a remote instrument panel or start/stop panel
be required.
- Emission Standards & Regulations
All Century Series engines meet current EPA standards and have the
"CE" mark.

Optional Equipment
- Full Torque Power Take-Off with Electric Clutch
All Century Series generators are available with full torque power
take-off and electric clutch for hydraulic pumps used to power bow
thrusters and other hydraulic equipment. The PTO and electric clutch
is available in both 12 and 24 volts (400 series and 1000 series)
- Electrical Systems
All generators are available with 24 volt electrical systems as well
as ungrounded 12 and 24 volt electrical systems.
- Remote Panels
Remote start-stop panel or second instrument panel available with 15
pin, 15 or 30 foot harnesses. Harnesses are equipped with Westerbeke's
standard remote connector for extended lengths.
- Electronic Governing for Parallel Operation
Allows for automatic or remote adjustment of engine speed for
paralleling and load sharing during operation.
|
- AC Instruments
Remote mounted AC voltmeter, ammeter, phase selector switch (3 phase
only) and frequency meter.
- Paralleling Switchboard
Complete system for manual paralleling or automatic paralleling.
- Westerbeke Patented Sound Guard
Sound Guard sound enclosures are available for all models and are made
of self-supporting panels that attach to the standard generator base
with no increase to the length or width of the unit. The rear panel of
the sound guard is equipped with a removable plate to accept the
optional power take-off and electric clutch. Individual panels can be
easily removed for routine inspection or all panels for major service.
- Also Available
Other options such as keel cooling with dry or wet exhaust, spare
parts kits, battery splitters, remote lube oil filters, fuel-water
separators with filter, hydro-hush mufflers and anti-syphon valves
with stainless loops are also offered.
