24V industrial engines? Lift pump?
Is there such a thing as a 24V industrial, like a Gen set or water pump, or are they 12V? If there is 24V what do they use for a lift pump? Do they have a VP-44? And/or what do bigger medium duty trucks use?
Thanks

As I recall, every industrial Cummins I've seen is a 12 valve with a mechanical pump. (Less stuff to install, and less stuff to go wrong at the worst possible second)

they have 24 valve industrial engines, I bought one and installed it. Worked well when changed over to vehicle use, but it was a 53 block and cracked right away. This came from a gen set. Cam timing has better torque, near what the commercial engine has.
Lift pump was the same, exhaust completely different, injectors were tiny, I used my vp44, don't know about the original but it was a vp44.
Best engine to use for pulling weight, commercial unit from a bigger truck, school bus, etc. They are limited by the vp44 to 2500 rpm so have a low hp rating but high torque. I have an RV275 in the Dodge, not just the injectors, the whole engine. Real strong. Rated at 275 with 2500 rpm is quite high in comparison to a dodge engine based on 3300 rpm.

I have one i am parting out. It is in a Bearing MD 26. That is a 26000 gvw straight truck. Rated at 215 HP has the same HX35w but has a band type downpipe clamp. The guys at cummins up here said the vps on them were the same as the pickups (wanted a spare) and that an ECM flash would put them in our pickups rpm range.

we had a 24V cummins in our *gasp* ford F750 bucket truck. Whether or not it was running the VP-44 I could not tell you but from what others have said I gather it was. I do remember it having a really low rev limiter but I couldn't tell you what rpm, just that it would fall flat on it's face if you didn't shift.

Here is a picture of the fuel system on a generator set placed into service October of 2000:
