Westerbeke, Volvo Penta, Ford Lehmann and Vetus used Indentor diesels for
their 50hp range marine engines. XD90s and XD2s They weren't very well
thought of in the boating world, one overheat and you're at the mercy of
whatever "marine" machanic that happen by.
There are, all-in-one intake/exhaust manifold/heatexchangers available at
@$1200. I guess it would be possible mount the turbo to the exhaust exit
of the marine manifold and plumb the turbo outlet back down the throat of
the intake man....
I would do something like: Insulate the exhaust manifold to limit heat
lost. Pipe the exhaust from the turbo to a coil of 2.5" OD pipe mounted
in a 55 gal. drum of water. Having several coils would probably do away
with the need for a muffler. Circulate water from the drum to move heat
where it's needed.
BTW. The marine engine coolant is cooled by raw water pumped by a
impellor pump driven by fuel pump gear (off the front) or by belt.
The big question for me is how to regulate the engine rpm? The generator
must turn 1800 rpm under all load conditions in order to maintain 60
hertz. Generators have special fuel pumps with centrifugal governors.
Maybe there is a eletric governor you could add.
