This Volvo Penta 350kVA diesel generator was fitted with an HM300-XD with a power supply 24VDC 18A and a pulse width modulator. The HM300-XD runs at 18A consistently at 45C temperature. The generator is used to power the ice cube generator located adjacent to the diesel generator. It runs 24 hours day 6 days a week. The fuel consumption of this generator is 37L/Hr since it runs at 50% load. The first week of running fitted with HM300-XD was only 16% fuel savings. The second week, fuel savings increased to 23%. After the third week, the fuel savings recorded at quite consistently at 36%. We have tried to tune up the engine to achieve even higher savings results.
