  • Recent Advances in Diesel Engines & Diesel Generator Sets
    Over the years, numerous aspects of the diesel engine have been subjected to modifications and treatments in attempts to make the engine more efficient. All engines produce power by igniting a mixture of air and fuel to produce energy. In gasoline engines, a spark plug is used to perform
  • Wet Stacking Prevention Technologies for CAT (R) 3500 Diesel Generator Sets
    What is wet stacking and what causes it? What technologies has Caterpillar implemented to help prevent wet stacking? This paper answers these questions while explaining the cylinder cutout strategies implemented across the Cat (R) 3500 range.
  • Application of Lean-Burn Gas Generator Sets in Standby Service (.pdf)
    Standby generator sets have been traditionally diesel engine driven and in limited cases stoichiometric (rich burn) natural gas or propane. These are popular choices because they provide a high level of performance and in the case of diesel especially, provide a high ratio. of energy per unit
  • NATURAL GAS GENERATOR SETS FOR THE STANDBY MARKET
    The market for large-scale standby electric power has taken a purposeful turn toward natural gas gensets. For decades, diesel engine generators have dominated the standby market and natural gas engine-generators were seldom considered. However, gas-fueled generation has been widely accepted
  • COMPARING VOLUMETRIC FUEL CONSUMPTIONS
    Diesel generator set manufacturers publish volumetric fuel consumption (vfc) data in their specification sheets. A problem arises when trying to compare vfc data from different manufacturers. The fuel density, brake specific fuel consumption tolerance, and the fuel heat value will all influence
  • EPA Emission Regulations: What They Mean for Diesel Powered Generating Systems (.pdf)
    Source Performance Standards apply to diesel engines used in generator sets.
  • Emission Standards: Managing the Challenging Transition from EU Stage IIIA to EU Stage V in Europe
    ). The most recent standard governing mobile generator sets, Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 moves the European Union (EU) from Stage IIIA to EU Stage V. This standard poses a new set of challenges triggered by the word's most stringent PM limits on mobile diesel generator sets. EU Stage V also extends
  • Hybrid Microgrids: The Time Is Now
    Microgrid that combine renewable energy with diesel or gas generator sets and energy storage capabilities can deliver clean, cost-effective electricity to remote locations with limited or no access to reliable utility power.
