We've had gen sets at 11,000 ft and way below zero start on propane
for decades without using the block or water heaters. Ridiculous
electric heating loads on the other hand are a very bad idea off grid.
Just make sure the propane supply lines are large enough so the pressure
regulator doesn't freeze up.

Yes, the Cummins technician that commissions our generators insists
that locations with consistent low’s below 15F require the coolant
heater. All but two of my installs(outdoor) have omitted connecting
the heater, and have seen some brief sub-0 temperatures but generally
average mid-30s. One of the two that does have the heater connected,
is located at a high elevation telecom site, and when I serviced the
system after not being there for a couple of winters, it was found
that someone had shut off both the battery charger circuit and the
coolant heater circuit and the generator didn’t seem worse for the
wear, and no coolant temp codes were thrown.

Check to see if it has a 120 vac requirement to float the battery.
The 20 kw one I have has a big electrical drain

HI All,
I’ve got a new project wanting a 22-25kw single phase 120/240vac
water cooled propane sound attenuated generator for an off grid
situation. I’m not going to be
With AGS activation.
I”ve been looking at the Kohler 24 RCL ( meets all the above
criteria) but I’m checking to see if I can get it to work with 2
wire AGS.
Onan also has one as well.
Are there any other make/models that people would recommend or
would caution me against?
Thanks
