TACTICAL QUIET GENERATOR AND ISO CONTAINER
Location
The tactical quiet generator is located in the generator 20 ft ISO container. The ISO container is located on the
FC platform.
Description
There are two types of tactical quiet generators authorized for use on the FC, 10 KW and 15 KW. The description and
specifications for the 15 KW tactical quiet generator may be found in TM 9-6115-642-10 and the description and
specifications for the 10 KW tactical quiet generator may be found in TM 9-6115-642-10.
The tactical quiet generator is supplied with fuel by the generator mounted day fuel tank. A 1000 gallon base fuel
tank is mounted in the ISO container. Fuel is transferred to the day fuel tank utilizing an electric fuel transfer pump.
A hand operated fuel transfer pump is provided in case of electric fuel transfer pump failure. A fuel gauge on the
generator instrument panel aids in the refueling of the day tank. The 1000 gallon fuel tank may be refueled inside or
outside the container. Fuel level indicator lights are mounted on the inside and outside of the container to aid in
refueling the 1000 gallon fuel tank.
Stainless steel motorized louvers provide air to the generator for cooling. Generator exhaust is routed outside of the
container. A stainless steel motorized vent provides ventilation for the generator shelter. Aluminum covers are used
while in storage to protect the louvers from the elements.
