Power House Manufacturing offers a variety of radiator mountable load banks. Our custom solutions can be adapted to any type of installation. Our radiator mountable load banks are sized to efficiently utilize the air flow from the generator’s radiator to cool the resistors, as opposed to a stand-alone load bank with its own cooling fan. This style of load bank is dedicated to the specific generator that it is mounted to. These load banks are typically sized to load the generator at 50% to 80% of the generators total capacity. This will provide sufficient routine loading to prevent the generator from wet stacking.
Our exclusive radiator mounted load bank designs are approximately half of the depth / thickness of other manufacturers. This virtually eliminates back-pressure on the generator’s radiator cooling system. Our unique design also allows for easy installation in a variety of positions on the generator. They can be mounted directly to the generators radiator with our standard detachable mounting flanges, or can have specific duct-work to connect the load bank to the radiator’s air-flow. Power House’s radiator mounted style load banks can be mounted either inside, or on the outside of the generators enclosure.
