Liquid cooled or air cooled generator?
(OP)
For a 750kVA standby generator, which is more common? Liquid cooled or air cooled? Liquid cooled will cost more, but how much more?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Yes there are liquid cooled alternators, but as ScottyUK says, unusual to the point of non-existent at 750 KVA.
There may be air cooled engines that large, but the overwhelming majority of sets in that size are conventional radiator cooled diesel engines. For marine engines forget air cooling. The same engines with heat exchangers or keel cooling. Forget raw water.

The US Armys M-60 tank had an air cooled 750 V-12 Diesel. Very noisy.

Thanks you all.
