John Deere Power Systems Announces New Engines for Gen-Set Market

 John Deere Power Systems (JDPS) is pleased to introduce three new engines for use in gen-set applications. The PowerTech E 9.0L and PowerTech 9.0L and 13.5L engines offer gen-set customers more powerful, cost-effective solutions.


 


These compact, powerful engines are specifically targeted for the standby gen-set market, but they will also be offered to the prime-power gen-set market. The PowerTech E 9.0L engine meets Tier 3 emissions regulations and has a maximum power rating of 315 kW (422 hp).


 


PowerTech E 9.0L Power Ratings (@ 1800 rpm rated speed)


·         Prime engine power: 208 kW 287 kW (279 hp 384 hp)


·         Prime ratings: 218 kVA 315 kVA (175 kWe 252 kWe)


·         Standby engine power: 229 kW 315 kW (307 hp 422 hp)


·         Standby ratings: 242 kVA 348 kVA (194 kWe 278 kWe)


 


Before the introduction of the PowerTech E 9.0L, the only option for gen-set customers who needed a large-displacement, Tier 3-compliant engine was the full-featured, high-performance PowerTech Plus engine family.


In the cost-driven gen-set market, customers can now get a Tier 3 large-displacement engine without cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) or a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), said Matt Arnold, product planner for JDPS.


 


The Tier 3 PowerTech E 9.0L is new for the 60-Hz gen-set market and features state-of-the-art technologies, including full-authority electronic controls, a fixed-geometry turbocharger and a high-pressure common-rail fuel system. These technologies offer improved cold-start performance and precise engine-speed control ” giving the engines the same durability and reliability as other John Deere engines. Production on the PowerTech E 9.0L is scheduled to begin during spring of 2008.


 


John Deere has two other new engines for the gen-set market: the Stage II PowerTech 9.0L and 13.5L. These engines are new for 50-Hz gen-sets, and production is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2008. Both engines offer world-class power density and performance and are perfect for markets that require Stage II certifications. The PowerTech 9.0L engine has a maximum power rating of 304 kW (408 hp).


 


PowerTech 9.0L Power Ratings (@ 1500 rpm rated speed)


·         Prime engine power: 230 kW 274 kW (308 hp 367 hp)


·         Prime ratings: 243 kVA 302 kVA (196 kWe 243 kWe)


·         Standby engine power: 253 kW 304 kW (339 hp 408 hp)


·         Standby ratings: 270 kVA 336 kVA (216 kWe 269 kWe)


 


The PowerTech 13.5L engine features the same technologies as the PowerTech E 9.0L except, instead of the high-pressure common-rail fuel system, it has an electronic unit injector fuel system.


 


PowerTech 13.5L Power Ratings (@ 1500 rpm rated speed)


·         Prime engine power: 323 kW 415 kW (433 hp 556 hp)


·         Prime ratings: 345 kVA 458 kVA (276 kWe 367 kWe)


·         Standby engine power: 355 kW 456 kW (476 hp 612 hp)


Standby ratings: 379 kVA 504 kVA (304 kWe 403 kWe)


Gen-set customers now have a choice of technologies for their larger-displacement Tier 3 needs, Arnold said. This addition to our product line will give customers the option to select the engine that is just right for their application.
