100 kVA ≈ 95 kVA here
At 400 m, altitude costs Kisangani nothing. Heat costs it 3.9%. A 34.8 °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 95 kVA on a 34.8 °C afternoon — exactly when Kisangani 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 31.1 °C.
22.2 °C to 31.1 °C is a narrow 8.9 °C cycle, so thermal movement will not age this installation. Steady warmth will: with nights only reaching 22.2 °C the batteries never cool, and sealed lead-acid life roughly halves per 10 °C sustained above 25 °C. Budget shorter replacement intervals in Kisangani than the datasheet implies.
Kisangani is roughly 1320 km west of our base at Embakasi, Nairobi, in a straight line and across a border. At 1320 km, mobilisation is a real line in any Kisangani 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.
We supply and install heavy-duty generators for factories, hospitals, and data centers in Kisangani.
