Eco-Tech Alternators were developed to address the need for high output at low engine speed. Eco-Tech Alternators can be specified for new vehicles or retrofitted for older vehicles. The following is a list of appropriate applications along with a list of the electrically driven components that create the need for a high power alternator:
FIRE & HEAVY RESCUE APPARATUS
- Telma Electro-magnetic brake retarders
- DC telescopic lighting
- Static inverters
- Electro-mechanical sirens
- Scene lighting
The Eco-Tech Alternator's idle output exceeds all other currently available alternators and exceeds the NFPA 1901 recommended minimum continuous load requirements.
AMBULANCES
- Static inverters
- Scene lighting
- On board diagnostic equipment
- Electro-mechanical sirens
Ford Ambulance application for the E and F series chassis with 7.3L diesel engines can be upgraded using the T-305-I Eco-Tech Alternator.
UTILITY VEHICLES
- Inverters to power bucket heaters
- Pumps
- Power tools
- Work site lighting
- Ventilation fans
Field service utility vehicles used by electric, cable, telephone and fleet service companies have currently installed Eco-Tech Alternators.
SHUTTLE BUSES
- Extended idle time
- Extreme heat hinders output
- Air conditioning fans
- Cabin lights
Shuttle buses rarely achieve engine speeds that enable other alternators to charge the batteries. Therefore, batteries in these buses are deep cycled thereby shortening their lives. Eco-Tech Alternators make this problem obsolete.
LIMOUSINE AND LIMOUSINE PARTY BUSES
- Idle waiting time
- Stop and go traffic
- Fans used for heating and air conditioning
- Mood lighting
- Static inverters for AC electrical loads
- Smoke machines
These buses also experience short battery lives due to deep cycling, a problem that Eco-Tech Alternators solves.
SCHOOL BUSES
- Extra fan load for roof mounted air conditioning
- Wheel chair lifts
- Lighted folding warning lights
- Stop and go with little high speed operation
Eco-Tech Alternators are operating successfully in school buses in hot climates like Houston, Texas.
TOW TRUCKS & TRACTOR TRAILERS
- Body lighting
- Lift gates
- Optional equipment for overnight use and travel
COMMERCIAL FISHING BOATS
- Deck lighting
- Winch loads
- Trawler and Long Liner operation at extended slow speeds
Fishing fleets in Iceland and Alaska have successfully used Eco-Tech case isolated 28 Volt Alternators.
CONSTRUCTION & MINING EQUIPMENT
- Work lighting
- Electric brake retarders
28 Volt vehicles used in surface mining and in construction have high electrical loads at low speed, an ideal Eco-Tech Alternator application.
SURVEILLANCE & TELECOMMUNICATIONS VEHICLES
- Multi-media equipment
- Boom lighting
- CB, high band, and low band radios
In gas engine applications larger four inch diameter pulleys have been utilized to keep Eco-Tech Alternators operating within the continuous 8,000 RPM rated range. This reducing of Alternator RPM's still enables Eco-Tech Alternators to supply the needed electrical power.
MOTOR HOMES & SUV'S
- DVD Players
- Stereo Systems
- Video games
- Remote Starters
- Heated seats and mirrors
- Auxiliary air conditioning
- Static inverters
Increasingly these vehicles have been outfitted with electrically driven components that overtax conventional alternators.
