One, it's not all sunny beach life. There's a significant
population up in the mountains that have to worry about this stuff, so
we are familiar with the stuff - just most of us don't have to buy it.
The High Desert gets overnight freezes fairly regularly, as can be
witnessed by the insulated water-regulator enclosures and fire
sprinkler standpipes there. But normally not Below Zero cold for
extended periods.
And two, it's an impressive sound when a properly pre-warmed (with
Kim heaters on the coolant and crankcase) Mitsubishi Marine V-16 Quad
Turbo Diesel attached to a 750KW 480V alternator automatically lights
off, comes up to speed and takes the entire Granada Hills Switchroom
building (including 50 tons of air conditioning) with a big Ka-CHUNK
of the transfer switch.
Makes my little 10KW generator sound like a flea fart. ;-P
