Dual fans increase alternator’s efficiency
Delco Remy’s 24SI HP alternator has a dual internal fan design that provides maximum cooling and increased air circulation, thereby enabling it to operate at lower temperatures and improving efficiency. The alternator produces 160 amps of output at normal vehicle operating speeds and 100 amps at engine-idle speeds. It features a large bearing with a slinger for contamination protection and a large rotor shaft.
