Learn about our rigorous Cummins Onan marine generator testing
|
To make it to final production, marine generators from Cummins Onan have to go through a series of exacting design steps and tests. This robust process is described in a new flyer available on our website. Cummins Onan engineers start with analysis-led design (ALD) techniques to model generator components. With the designs optimized in a 3D CAD system, prototype units are built and then extensively tested. Some tests take place in our new acoustical testing center, or ATC, on our Fridley, Minnesota campus. The ATC, the largest engine-testing facility of its kind in the world, enables Cummins engineers to precisely measure the sound output of generators, including with binaural recording to mimic human hearing. Other tests, critical to understanding and reducing generator vibration, are conducted on shake tables. All these design and testing steps are detailed in a new flyer that you can download here

Tips from Cummins Onan for a top-quality spring RV tune-up
|
It’s spring, when RVers’ fancy lightly turns to thoughts of — the open road. So it’s time to get your RV ready for this year’s adventures. That means routine maintenance for your RV generator as well as your RV engine.
Anybody can make an oil filter that “will fit,” but there’s no way to tell if it will work properly. Although the box may say the product meets minimum standards, what about the filter’s dirt-holding ability and integrity? Cummins Onan Green Label RV oil filters have valves that allow oil to bypass the oil filter during cold starts, or if the filter becomes plugged. The same kind of engineering goes into Cummins Onan Green Label air filters, spark plugs, and OnaMax oil. You don’t have to settle for aftermarket “will-fit” parts. Genuine Green Label parts and OnaMax oil offer the durability and performance you’ve come to expect from Cummins Onan. Simply click here to buy Cummins Onan Green Label parts or to find a dealer near you.

Cummins Onan Supplying Generators for New Line of High-End Boats by Toyota
|
Toyota Motor Corporation is launching a new line of high-tech, high-end boats, the Ponam-35, and has tapped Cummins Onan to supply the boats’ on-board generators.
The innovative, powerful Ponam-35, announced in September, is designed for pleasure cruising and fishing. It uses two 4.5 L V8 diesel engines sourced from the Toyota Land Cruiser. The boat features proprietary control technology for easier list correction and Toyota Drive Assist to enable mooring and casting off using a single joystick. The hull is made with a high-strength aluminum alloy, which ensures higher rigidity, strength, durability and fracture resistance, as well as reduced stress and vibration. The Ponam-35 starts at around $765,000. Each Ponam-35 boat comes equipped with a 9.0 kW MDKBL generator from Cummins Onan. This model is part of the Quiet Diesel (QD) Series, the first marine generator sets with self-monitoring capability and networked communications. Ken Uemura from Communication Science Corporation (CSC), Cummins Onan’s official distributor in Japan, commented that “CSC is hoping the integration of the two premium brands will be a driving force of the marine boat industry not only in Japan but also in oversea market.” Michael Jones, General Manager of Cummins Onan Asia said that “The Ponam-35 is loaded with innovative high-tech features, and our 9 kW MDKBL generator fits that environment very well. We are delighted to be working with Toyota Motor Corporation on this exciting new venture.”

Easy D-I-Y online tool to select the right Cummins Onan residential generator
|
 The RS20A residential standby generator. People thinking about purchasing a residential standby generator often wonder how to be sure they’re selecting a unit that’s the right size for their needs. But there’s really no need for concern, because we can help take the guesswork out of this process in two ways. One way is to contact a Cummins Onan dealer who can certainly help you determine the best model for your needs. But even before contacting one of our dealers, you can get a good idea of the necessary capacity of a residential standby generator for your home. Just visit this page on our Cummins Onan website to get started. An easy-to-use interactive worksheet will essentially do the calculation for you. First, enter the total square footage of the home and whether you use natural gas or propane. Then select which appliances you want to have the generator power during an outage. The calculator estimates the wattage needed for each appliance and provides recommendations on specific models to meet those needs. It’s that simple. So, if you’re thinking about a residential standby generator, give our interactive calculator a workout!
