15k BTU on 2200 watt generator

I guess this conversation has run its course.... Good night!

Used to own a CBR600f4i. Words can't describe how awesome it sounded pushing DOHC's at 12,000++ rpm's!

You win. Boring now.

Have a good one--lol!

Some folks have to have the last word. You got it. LOL!

Bringing up your experience with 12,000 rpm engines was meant to impress and it sure did. LOL Not.

I believe you're allowing your emotions to cloud your reading comprehension, TomG2.

For the record, drsteve is the poster who brought up and discussed the 12,000 rpm engines first, I didn't.

Again, please try to have a good one--lol!

TomG2, I simply responded in-kind to your glowing comment about a 12,000 rpm OHC generator! Don't be a party-pooper and drop your RPM's back down to 3,600-5,000--lol!.

Some people get sarcasm, and some don't. When you started talking 12,000 rpm engines, I made a joke. Sorry that you didn't get it. NOBODY seriously promoted 12,000 rpm RV generators. Lighten up.

Lighten up?! LOL!! Seriously?!

Of course, I got your joke and sarcasm, TomG2. Have you not noticed all the "lol's" in my posts to you?! LOL means Laughing Out Loud. It's how people "lighten up". You may want to give it try yourself.

Have a good one--lol!

1990 to 1995 corvette ZR1 had the LT5 DOHC engine. It is literally stuffed into the corvette engine bay. Pushrod engines are more narrow and not as tall in general.

Yup, the valvetrain on a DOHC engine takes up a lot of space with the cams sitting up-high, above the valves. An OHV, pushrod engine has the cam situated down in the block reducing the size of the heads and valve assembly significantly.

No, there's nothing wrong per se with an OHV engine. OHV is fine for lower RPM applications like the lower revving, high torque truck applications you speak of. However, you'll rarely see OHV in high-rpm applications. An OHC design has a lot less moving mass in the valve train assembly (vs. an OHV design) which allows for more efficient, accurate control of the valves at higher rpm's. This is the reason why the vast majority of cars on the road on the road today use an OHC configuration. If OHV was a better design I assure you car manufacturers would use it---but, the fact is they don't.

You mean like America's flagship sports car, the Corvette, the best bargain in its performance class anywhere on Earth, which has been OHV for almost all of its existence, including what are unquestionably the best performing Corvettes ever made (those in the last ~20-25 years?

There might be hypothetical benefits to OHC, but they sure don't seem to show themselves in real life.

I was waiting for someone to find a loophole or two--lol! Congratulations! Granted, GM may feel there are no advantages to using OHC in the Corvette. However, common sense says the other 98% of cars (to include exotics) on the road that do have an OHC configuration, were not the result of manufacturers and their engineers being hoodwinked into using it for "hypothetical benefits"--lol! If you're saying they were hoodwinked, it would make for one helluva conspiracy theory---would love to hear about it.

Now we know how a 2,000 watt generator can run these big air conditioners. Crank them up to 12,000 rpm. OHC models only.

Good idea! Used to own a CBR600f4i. Words can't describe how awesome it sounded pushing DOHC's at 12,000++ rpm's! If you really like rpm's, try a turbine generator. They absolutely and literally scream!

We are impressed, but hardly germane to a discussion about RV generators which generally max out at about 5,000 rpm and many at 3,600 rpm.
