Thermo King generator sets perform a critical role in international refrigerated transport. Built to be reliable, sturdy, and cost-effective to run, these are technologies that power refrigerated containers – and ensure temperature-sensitive cargoes always arrive in an ideal condition.
The SG-3500 occupies a critical position within our market-leading product range.
Developed for marine reefers, the unit has been designed with reliability, sustainability, and user experience front of mind. NRMM STAGE V, EPA and GB4 compliant, available in both clip-on and undermount versions, the SG-3500 also comes with telematics options to help extend visibility into your fleet operations. If you need a highly dependable, easy-to-run, and fuel-efficient power source for marine reefers, the SG-3500 has you covered.
THE INSPIRATION TO GO FURTHER
Any generator set used to protect a client’s cargo needs to be trusted. Utilizing a high performance engine that’s designed to run consistent and true between temperature ranges of -40°C and +50°C (-40°F and +122°F), the SG-3500 offers you peace of mind for every journey. As a result, you’ll have access to a generator set that’s able to power all ISO reefers – due to its potent 24.1 horsepower engine.
Innovation that extends to the alternator
The SG-3500 features a uniquely designed alternator that offers increased capacity and reduced duty cycle times when compared to other models. This wound-field alternator is also proven to support the types of high load compressor starts that routinely stall other available units.
Built for the long haul
Knowing the tough conditions a generator set needs to excel in, the SG-3500 comes with a robust steel frame to offer the strongest possible protection. Put through its paces in the hardest of test environments, the unit has already demonstrated its ability to survive both climatic and vibrational extremes – on the seas, on the road, and across rail operations.
"With the SG-3500, reliability meets sustainability in a marine generator set that delivers remarkable fuel efficiency.”
SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH EFFORTLESS COMPLIANCE
Compliance continues to be a key consideration for any cold chain operator. The challenge is therefore to invest in generator sets that are future-ready, and able to meet your long-term expectations without the need for expensive re-fitting.
The SG-3500 features Thermo King’s latest innovations in sustainability technology. These include features that restrict both noise and CO₂ emissions, thereby helping deliver the compliance you need to explore every opportunity.
Keeping your emissions to an absolute minimum
The SG-3500 offers a significant improvement in CO² emissions compared to the SG-3000. The unit is also noticeably quieter, with noise reduction capabilities that make it one of the quietest generator sets on the market.
Fully compliant
The SG-3500 offers the most cost-effective generator set available for North America, Europe and many other regions. The unit is compliant with EPA Tier 4 , GB4 and NRMM Stage V regulations..
ISO1496 compliant
The 15kW output of the SG-3500 can power all ISO reefers. The unit also incorporates a stable voltage control to intelligently regulate power and keep it within limits set by ISO1496.
Alongside its performance and sustainability credentials, the SG-3500 provides you with an easy-to-use controller packed full of important functions and features
A POWERFUL AND USER-FRIENDLY CONTROLLER
Simple interface which includes a basic On-Off switch that allows any user to instantly start up the generator set.
Pre-heat function
an automatic feature designed to overcome cold starts in sub-optimal conditions.
Intuitive operating screen
with intelligent menu that display all key operating parameters.
Alarms
easily accessed via the keypad to gain immediate insight into generator set status.
Pre-trip functionality
users can test the unit prior to any journey for a detailed readiness assessment.
Advanced diagnostics
including self-check capabilities to identify any potential problems to maintain load integrity.
Multi-language capabilities
English and Spanish are provided as standard, with other languages accessed through an updated software package.
Additional features
with the SG-3500 you can also access hour meters and data logging of all events.
EXTEND YOUR VISIBILITY AND PERFORMANCE
Technology that lowers your total cost of ownership
Equipped with a high quality Yanmar engine, alternator, and robust frame design, the SG-3500 is purpose-built to help guarantee a long-term return on investment:
— Low fuel consumption: featuring an electronic governor that delivers power only when needed, the SG-3500 offers high fuel efficiency.
— Low service costs: due to the generator set’s quality manufacture, it only needs to be fully serviced once every 3,000 hours of operation – which in turn cuts service intervals over the life of the unit.
Extend your visibility into performance
The SG-3500 also includes a telematics option to provide detailed insights into a wide range of key operational metrics: A 360-degree view of your fleet: including location and geofencing capabilities.
—Position: gives full visibility to your fleet with GPS location and geofencing capabilities
— Fuel monitoring: allowing you to see fuel levels even when the generator set is turned off.
— Fuel alerts: highlight any sudden drop in fuel levels, or those units leaving depots without sufficient fuel.
— Battery voltage: continuous monitoring of voltage levels for units turned on or off.
— Total run hours: a metric vital for planning periodic maintenance schedules.
— Monitor engine load %: to be confident a reefer is fully connected and working.
— Generator set parameters: know for certain your units are either turned on or off, engine RPM, output voltage and frequency.
