the legislation with a combination of in-cylinder engine
improvements, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and
selective catalytic reduction (SCR) exhaust aftertreatment.
It said that it had achieved enough improvements in the
combustion process not to need a diesel particulate
filter (DPF) for further aftertreatment in the exhaust
system.
“As a consequence, our newmobile rental generators
are 4% to 5% more fuel efficient than previous Tier 3
models,” said Santhosh Sorab, marketing manager for
Tier4 Final product development of Cummins Power
Generation.
The first Tier 4 Final generator sets for the rental market
from Cummins Power Generation will
be the C150D2R, standby rated at
150 kW, and the C200D2R, standby
rated at 200 kW. Both will be available
by the third quarter of 2014.They
will feature switchable 60/50Hz dual
frequency operation with multiple
voltage configurations of 208V, 240V
and 480V in three-phase, and 240V in
single-phase.
Himoinsa’s new HRTW 1300 generator
has been designed to be easy to
transport and can provide electricity at
50 Hz or 60 Hz.
New from JCB this year is this LED light tower. The
company has also announced bold plans for the
international expansion of its power business.
Safe and easy access to operation and maintenance
areas are a design feature with improvements to the
accessibility to key areas. These include the centrally
positioned lifting eye, engine radiator compartment
and maintenance points.
A digital control panel version, offering extended
parameter measurements and historical storage of
events and alarms, is available as an option, and a new switchable
dual frequency 50/60 Hz feature is available with the digital
controller.
Emissions control
As in the wider construction equipment
world, portable power systems are subject
to increasingly strict rules on diesel engine
exhaust emissions in Europe and the
US. In the generator segment, Cummins
Power Generation claims to be one of the
first manufacturers to offer machines that
comply with the Tier 4 Final regulations
for 175 hp – 751 hp (131 kW – 560 kW)
engines that come into force in the US at
the start of next year.
