Perkins has created a new 18-litre engine designed to meet the specific needs of the North American rental industry for mobile electric power generation.
Building on its Tier 4 Final power offering, Perkins has continued to expand the range with the addition of the 2806F-E18TAG2 ElectropaK.
With more than 90 years of design experience and several million Perkins-powered generator sets operating around the world, Perkins understands the needs of the power generation industry. This knowledge has driven the design and development of the 2806F-E18TAG2, a new engine that delivers a powerful package and simplified integration.
The 2806F-E18TAG2 is designed specifically for mobile generator set applications and tailored to meet the needs of the North American rental industry.
By achieving ISO 8528-5 G2 performance, the 2806F provides excellent load acceptance for a wide range of electric power applications that rely on mobile generator sets.
“Rental companies and their customers have unique requirements but still need reliable electric power to keep operations running,” said Jaz Gill, Vice President of Global Sales, Marketing, Service and Parts.
“The new 2806F has been engineered and expertly crafted to provide capable, stable and sustainable power specifically for the North American rental mobile generator set industry. It is our latest offering in a long line of products that deliver reliable power with a low total cost of ownership and demonstrates Perkins commitment to meeting both our customers’ and their end users’ needs.”
The 2806F can run with biodiesel up to B20 based on a 20 per cent dilution of biodiesel with standard diesel or on 100 per cent hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).
The ElectropaK 2806F produces up to 500 kWe prime power at 60 Hz and features the latest electronics with a single, on-engine electronic control module (ECM) that simplifies wiring harnesses, eases installation, supports future diagnostics and is capable of integration with customers’ telematics solutions.
The ECM also manages all aspects of aftertreatment operation and regeneration without operator input. Regeneration occurs automatically with no impact on performance, maximizing uptime. This allows rental customers to focus on the task at hand without worrying about their supply of electric power.
The new 2806F-E18TAG2 joins the Perkins full line up of Tier 4 Final certified engines for electric power generation, including the 400 Series, 904 Series, 1200 Series, 1700 Series, and the 2000 Series.
