Standardon allmodels is an automaticvoltage regulator (AVR)
system, whichprovides a precise voltage control output,making
the system appropriate for sensitive electronic equipment like
computers. Other standard features include low-tone muffler,
lowoil level sensorwith automatic shut-off and a
two-wheel kit for enhanced portability.
Global traveller
Spanish manufacturer Himoinsa introduced its
newHHW series of generator sets to themarket
earlier this year. The newHHW series includes
seven soundproofed, open generator models,
with power output ranging between 20 and 100
kVA at 50Hz and between 30 and 120 kVa at
60Hz.
The new generator models, powered by the
Himoinsa 4HD engine, feature low noise
emissions, optimal fuel economy and excellent
throughput, productivity and reliability levels,
according to themanufacturer.
Seven engine models have been developed
(from 1,500 to 1,800 rpm) with a power output
yielding between 20 and 95 kWm. Additionally,
theHimoinsaalternatorhas anautomaticvoltage
regulator (AVR) while its Busbar connection
system lets six of the series’ units be moved to
configure with the varying voltage/frequency
ratios required in internationalmarkets.
Big demands
For largerpowerdemands, thenew50Hzand60
Hz stationary generator range from construction
equipment manufacturer Chicago Pneumatic
offers a number of user-friendly features that
make them easy for contractors to position,
operate andmaintain.
“Our new CPSG units are built to withstand
the toughest worksite conditions, making them
ideal for operators seeking a consistent source of
primarypowerwhileworkingday in anddayout
in a wide variety of construction applications.
The introduction of our new stationary
generators also means we are now able to offer
a complete generator offering, encompassing
portable, mobile and stationary products,”
explained Daniel Escuer, power product
marketingmanager forChicagoPneumatic.
The new CPSG stationary generators are
based on a frame-and-canopy design. Chicago
Pneumatic says the units are designed for fast,
easy and safe on-site and off-site positioning, with a
corrosion-resistant canopy providing long-lasting
durability and a rugged base adding impact resistance
and extra protection for sensitive areas of the unit.
The new CPSG units also include an advanced control
panel that enables users to control and operate it remotely,
different levels of noise isolation, a lockable fuel filling cap, a
robust terminal board that is suitable for connection with or
without clamps, and easy fuel tank cleaning access to prevent
damage from contaminants.
Additional options includeahighcapacity fuel tank, additional
fuel filter withwater separator, battery isolation switch, battery
TheM171 fromKaeser offers large volumes of cost-
effective and environmentally-friendly compressed
air and come equippedwith a diesel particulate filter
as standard.
