100 kVA ≈ 92 kVA here
At 479 m, altitude costs Dikhil nothing. Heat costs it 5.8%. A 39.5 °C design ambient against the 25 °C an engine is rated at leaves the radiator far less temperature difference to reject into.
So 100 kVA becomes roughly 92 kVA on a 39.5 °C afternoon — exactly when Dikhil is drawing most. What fails here is rarely the engine: it is cooling packs sized for a cooler day, canopies recirculating their own hot air, and batteries aged out early at 35.2 °C.
22.8 °C to 35.2 °C. A 12.4 °C cycle is enough to loosen connections within a year or two in Dikhil. The intermittent faults that follow get misread as controller trouble; they are almost always a terminal needing re-torquing.
Dikhil is roughly 1507 km north-east of our base at Embakasi, Nairobi, in a straight line and across a border. At 1507 km, mobilisation is a real line in any Dikhil quotation, and a machine waiting on a travelling part waits days, not hours. Hold a critical kit on site — filters, belts, an AVR, injectors — rather than ordering per failure.
Elevation: Open-Meteo Geocoding API (GeoNames elevation), retrieved 2026-08-26. Temperature: Open-Meteo Archive (ERA5 reanalysis), 2025 daily maxima and minima. Derate figures are planning estimates using standard corrections (approximately 1% per 100 m above 300 m; 2% per 5 °C above 25 °C); final sizing follows the engine manufacturer’s own derate tables for the set proposed.
