I guess stationary generators are set up a little different because they don't have operator input. I am under the impression that the engineer's throtle does not directly affect engine RPM, but loads the alternator, then the governor acts acordingly. <br /> <br />Is there a single RPM that the governor will hold when operating under load, and vary fuel setting to maintain that RPM? <br /> <br />One other question, I noticed a 567 has scroll type blowers for intake air. It is a common misconception on Detroit Diesels that they are super-charged because they have a blower. The blower on a Detroit typically turns a little bit less than twice crankshaft speed to produce a few inches of water pressure for exhaust scavenging. A Detroit Diesel is not considered supercharged until it has a turbo. Is the same true for the 567?
