Features
Brushless Durability
The Delco Remy 36SI brushless alternator design dramatically increases both the durability and the life of the alternator.
Here’s why: Brushless alternators have fewer moving parts, which means less wear on the alternator. The end result is longer life. Alternators pull air from the back to the front in order to cool the internal electronics. This process introduces contaminants to the alternator. With a brushless alternator, there are no issues of contaminants hanging up brushes and causing failures. Without brushes, there are 13 fewer moving parts, eliminating components that wear out.
Bottom line: Delco Remy’s 36SI brushless alternator design leads to reduced downtime and longer life.
Remote Sense
Remote Sense can reduce battery charge time by 50%.
Some 36SI models are equipped with Remote Sense which utilizes a second wire that reads the actual to boost its output to compensate for the voltage drop, ensuring 14 Volts at the battery. The proper voltage forces more current into the battery bringing it to a full state of charge between vehicle stops.
High Temperature Rating
Enhanced electronics allow the Delco Remy 36SI to work efficiently at even higher operating temperatures—up to 257°F or 125°C.
These improvements include:
- A 30% increased diode rating
- Extended rectifier surface, which adds additional cooling fins
Optional Isolated Ground
Most alternators are grounded through the alternator’s housing. The Delco Remy 36SI alternator offers optional isolated grounding, which helps to avoid corrosion.
Performance
The Delco Remy 36SI alternator has demonstrated that it has the power to meet increasing electrical demands.
The Delco Remy 36SI alternator provides superior output performance at low RPM and at road speed. It is ideal for applications such as refuse, trucks with lift gates, line haul tractors, and delivery trucks
