Delco Remy’s 26SI Brushless Unit Delivers 100 Amps at Idle

Delco Remy
The new 36SI alternator from Remy Inc.-manufacturer and marketer of Delco Remy heavy-duty vehicle electrical systems-combines a compact, thermally tolerant design with a wide range of exclusive features that significantly boost component efficiency and power. The brushless alternator produces a remarkable 100 amps at idle with a maximum output of 165 amps at full-rated engine speed. The 36SI’s ultra-high-efficiency design also allows for reduced belt loads, thereby cutting frictional horsepower losses, an important factor in overall engine fuel economy. The unit also features strategically positioned radiant vents to ensure exceptional performance and reliability in conditions up to 105 degrees C.

“There traditionally has been a tradeoff between alternator output and increased under hood temperatures. Our engineers have eliminated this compromise with the 35SI and 36SI alternators, which were designed to address the operating conditions commonly encountered with today’s EPA compliant engines,” said Randy Andis, director of fleet operations for Remy Inc.

Another exclusive advantage of the 36SI alternators is the Delco Remy brand’s optional “Remote Sense” technology, which continuously senses voltage at the battery terminals and automatically
adjusts power output to ensure optimal charge. The unit is covered by Remy Inc.’s three-year/350,000-mile warranty when installed as original equipment.
