Abstract:
A generator set is disclosed. The generator set may include a liquid-cooled engine and an alternating current (AC) generator coupled to the liquid-cooled engine. The generator set may include an AC fan associated with the liquid-cooled engine and connected to the AC generator via a relay and an engine control module (ECM) associated with the liquid-cooled engine and connected to the AC fan via the relay. The generator set may include an engine temperature sensor associated with the liquid-cooled engine and connected to the ECM via a first circuit and an engine air temperature sensor associated with the liquid-cooled engine and connected to the ECM via a second circuit.
