Abstract
An engine-generator set with a single-cylinder diesel engine and an electrical generator with a rotor secured to the engine crankshaft. The rotor is cantilevered on an end of the crankshaft. The engine has an electrically activatable fuel injector connected to a continuously pressurized fuel supply, such as in a common rail injection system. The engine exhaust passes through a catalyst bed. In a marine version, the catalyst bed is disposed within an injection elbow.
