On the occasion of the Cannes Yachting Festival 2022, taking place from 6 to 11 September, Mase Generators are preparing to face the 2022/23 nautical season with new products and new systems that have long positioned them in the restricted circle of privileged partners of the most important international shipbuilders.

The company is continuing to implement a constant process of renewal of its range of generators and has started in parallel the development of new systems for the production and use of energy on board of pleasure and professional boats, both for powering the electric appliances and for medium and high power hybrid propulsion systems from 50 to 500 kW and with voltages over 800 volts dc in collaboration with various project systems engineering organizations.

The VS 500 SV equipped with the variable rpm Volvo Penta D13 engine with a power of 500 kW will be exhibited in Cannes, underlining the exponential growth gained by Mase in recent years in the special groups sector aimed at offering increasingly compact and efficient solutions in combination with certified engines equipped with active and passive SCR and FAP post-treatment systems.

In addition to the VS 500, the VS 15.5 LOW will be exhibited, capable of delivering a continuous power of over 16 kW in single-phase output, with a maximum speed of 2300 rpm which guarantees a low level of noise and vibrations.

Alongside the aforementioned model, another group from the VS range will be presented, the variable speed series, the VS 12.8 Y with Yanmar 3TNV74F, Stage V engine, delivering 12.8 kW of continuous power.

As it is well known, these variable speed generators make it possible to build more technological and more environmentally friendly boats because the engine revolutions vary according to the load; this results in lower consumption and noise, as well as greater comfort and the possibility of placing more generators on board, even distant ones, but always interconnected in parallel.

Moving on to the IS range (Intercooler System), the models at the center of the exhibition will be the IS 8.5 K, the IS 6.05i and the IS 27.

These products share excellent characteristics including:
– the double anti-vibration system, which allows to reduce the level of vibrations from the engine / alternator unit towards the frame and to absorb residual micro vibrations originating between the generator frame and the boat;
– closed-cycle cooling inside the case by means of a water / air exchanger that reduces vibrations and noise, ensuring
ZERO derating up to a sea water temperature of 31 degrees;
– the soundproof enclosure made of extremely light painted marine aluminum with very high resistance to external
agents.

The brand new and super compact IS 6.05i deserves a special mention, joining the IS 4.05i model presented in 2021, where the i of inverter represents the new technological development of our range.

The unit is in fact equipped with a permanent magnet alternator combined, internally, with a conversion inverter which allows to considerably increase the performance and efficiency of the system with a consequent reduction in noise and vibrations, but above all in consumption and emissions.

The inverter guarantees a safe product, avoiding the circulation outside the genset of large cables with high voltages. It also allows the parallel coupling of two units of the same model, offering the possibility of synchronizing them immediately, by simply connecting the inverters of the two generators via a cable so that the latter automatically synchronizes.

This solution offers at the same time great energy savings and the possibility of high loads, in other words greater efficiency combined with high savings.

Finally, the permanent magnet alternator is particularly compact, designed precisely to reduce the size and weight of the machine while leaving the performance unchanged.

This allows the installation of this type of generators in multi-hull boats, multiplying the power, in a single supply line, greatly simplifying the on-board systems.

Mase Generators is now more than ever committed to the research and development of new products and technologies for the production of energy on board and for the propulsion of boats and this important challenge has really only just begun, important innovations are on the horizon…
