Abstract: This invention relates to a genset engine layout without battery charging alternator comprising of a battery charger with controller connected to a genset battery for charging said battery with the help of the electric power generated by single/3-phase AC alternator coupled with genset engine.
FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates to a Genset engine layout without battery charging alternator.
PRIOR ART
In the known art, engines are fitted with an alternator that charges the on-board battery. The battery is used for starting the engine using the starter motor. The alternator is directly coupled to the engine & therefore consumes some of the useful power of the engine. This leads to consumption of more fuel by the engine.
Reference may be made to Figure -1 indicating the existing genset engine layout where a battery charging alternator is coupled with the engine. This alternator charges the genset battery whenever the engine is running. The genset battery is used for starting the genset engine with the help of a starter motor. This battery charging alternator consumes engine power during its operation.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a Genset engine layout without battery charging alternator which saves power & fuel of Genset engine by using a battery charger instead of conventional alternator for charging the battery.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a Genset engine layout without battery charging alternator which is efficient.
Further object of the present invention is to provide a Genset engine layout without battery charging alternator which is simple.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a Genset engine layout without battery charging alternator which is cost effective.
STATEMENT OF INVENTION
According to this invention, there is provided a genset engine layout without battery charging alternator comprising of a battery charger with controller connected to a genset battery for charging said battery with the help of the electric power generated by single/3-phase AC alternator coupled with genset engine.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS
Further objects and advantages of this invention will be more apparent
from the ensuing description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and wherein:
Fig. 1 shows: existing genset layout.

charging alternator.
DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH REFERENCE TO THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS
The Present Invention discloses a Genset engine layout without battery charging alternator as shown in fig. 2. It comprises of a battery charger with controller connected to a genset battery for charging said battery with the help of the electric power generated by single/3-phase AC alternator coupled with genset engine.
By replacing alternator with battery charger and controller, the power consumption is saved thereby saving the fuel consumed by the engine. Thus, the present invention becomes cost effective.
SYSTEM OPERATING PROCESSES FOR BATTERY CHARGER
The Battery Charger is provided with two set of pluggable female connectors. One with 5Pin and the other with 2Pin connector. 5Pin connector is used for connecting the Input Supply of 230VAC to the Battery Charger and the 2P in Connector is used for taking the 12VDC Charger Output.
MAKING INPUT CONNECTIONS TO BATTERY CHARGER
The Phase is connected Neutral 8B Earth as per the tag details marked on the Battery Charger. This connector is provided with 5Pins, out of which only 3Pins are used to connect Ph, N & E.
MAKING OUTPUT CONNECTION TO BATTERY CHARGER
Battery Charger is provided with 2Pin connector for extending the Charger output to Battery for charging and the B+ 8B B- are connected as per the indication in the output connector.
CHECKING THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE BATTERY CHARGER
After making the connection as per the procedure explained above, it is checked whether there is supply of +12VDC across B+ 8B B- terminals. (The Voltage measured is only the Battery Voltage). This time the Charger ON 8B Trickle LED will glow on the charger. If the Battery Polarity is connected reverse then the Reverse Battery LED will glow in red color.
Under this condition the Lead connected on the Battery terminal to be reversed and properly connected as per the polarity shown on the Battery Charger.
Now, the Input Supply (230VAC) is switched on to the Battery Charger and the supply is measured across the B+ & B- connector. This time, there will be supply above 13VDC and the Boost LED will also glow in red color. If the voltage is not increasing above 12VDC (Battery Voltage measured earlier) then the Charger is not properly connected to the Battery.
The charger will give output only when the Battery is connected to the output terminals and it should have minimum of 9VDC. If the Battery is not connected, there will be no output from the Charger even though the Input Supply (230VAC) is present. This is to ensure that the Battery connected on the output terminals is in good condition.
If the Discharged Battery is connected to the Battery Charger, it will draw heavy current from the charger and further will damage the charger and hence this feature has been provided.
It is to be noted that the present invention is susceptible to modifications, adaptations and changes by those skilled in the art. Such variant embodiments employing the concepts and features of this invention are intended to be within the scope of the present invention, which is further set forth under the following claims:-
WE CLAIM;
1. A genset engine layout without battery charging alternator comprising of a battery charger with controller connected to a genset battery for charging said battery with the help of the electric power generated by single/ 3-phase AC alternator coupled with genset engine.
2. A genset engine layout without battery charging alternator as claimed in claim 1 wherein the battery charger is such as herein described.
3. A genset engine layout without battery charging alternator substantially as herein described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
