FUSION APOLLO RA770 WI-FI STEREOTo extend the range of a vessel equipped with a
Torqeedo Deep Blue Hybrid electric propulsion
system, Torqeedo has collaborated with
WhisperPower to develop a 25kW 350V DC
variable speed diesel generator.
Torqeedo’s Range Extender is specifically designed
as a back-up battery charger for the Torqeedo-BMW
battery pack, which supplies energy for vessel
propulsion and onboard consumption in recreational
and commercial vessels.
The compact, silent Range Extender is based on
WhisperPower’s successful Genverter principle, where
generator speed is adjusted to meet fluctuating power
requirements. Advanced electronics ensure that the
generator always operates at the most ecient
speed, minimising fuel consumption, noise,
vibration and exhaust emissions.
Integrated into the Deep Blue Hybrid system,
the Range Extender forms part of an innovative
system that ofers unrivalled comfort, luxury and
independence based on largely zero-emission sailing.
Charging the BMW-i lithium batteries is also possible
using renewable energy sources such as solar panels
and hydro generators, which provide silent power.
During a long trip, or if demand requires more
electricity than the batteries can supply, the DC
generator, started automatically and managed by
the Advanced Hybrid Control System, provides the
reassurance of back-up power.

3.3-litre four-cylinder engine operating
at a low 1800 or 1500rpm for smooth,
quiet operation. It incorporates standard
electronic voltage regulation to reduce
voltage deviation and ensure the best
possible sine wave form.
Additional standard features include low
oil pressure, high exhaust and high coolant
temperature safety shutdowns, as well
as a field breaker and 50-amp
battery charging alternator.
The 29.0 EGED incorporates a completely
