GENSETS GENERATOR FOR A UK-BASED METAL RECYCLING COMPANY

reduced stocking levels. Thje engine is designed to provide low cost of ownership, simple maintenance and reduced downtime.

Perkins engines have been designed and developed with the customer in mind. Keeping service cost to a minimum ensures low periodic running costs. This is achieved through 500 hour service intervals for oil and fuel as standard under all operating conditions.

CPS uses the Mecc Alte ECO43 -2L/4 alternator. The ECO43 range from Mecc Alte is a series of large alternators which have been proven in many industries. They are a reliable set of alternators which can produce an almost constant supply of power when at its operating conditions.

One of the one of the Constant Power Solutions Sales Managers was apparently instrumental in finding the right power solution for this UK-based metal recycling company. The Sales Manager acted as a consultant and gave his professional recommendation for the best bespoke solution for their operation

After careful consideration, the client opted for a AP1250S diesel generator built into a 20foot high weatherproof container with a Perkins 4012-46TWG2A water-cooled 1500 rpm engine coupled to a Mecc Alte ECO43 -2L/4 alternator.

The Perkins 4012 engine range is known to pack a real performance punch, with 12-cylinders and 46-litre displacement providing all the power you need.

The range’s diesel ElectropaK engines are supplied complete with radiator and air cleaner, or as engine only. They provide 989-1600 kVA generator output, with exceptional powerto-weight ratios. The compact design of the engines makes them easy to transport and install. Economic and durable, the engines have excellent power-to-weight ratios, as well as outstanding load acceptance and improved emissions.

Commonality of components with other engines in the 4000 Series makes replacing parts or upgrading an easy process.

The 4012-46TWG engine has been developed using the latest engineering techniques and builds on the strengths of the already very successful 4012 Series family and addresses today’s uncompromising demands within the power generation industry.

Developed from a proven heavy-duty industrial base these products offer superior performance and reliability. Turbocharged and air-to-water charge cooled, these are 12-cylinder diesel engines which offer a choice of temperate or tropical cooling. The engine’s premium feature is that it provides exceptional power-to-weight ratio resulting in exceptional fuel consumption.

Engine features of the AP1250S Features of the Perkins 4012-46TWG2A engine include Individual 4-valve cylinder heads giving optimised gas flows and unit fuel injectors ensure ultrafine fuel atomisation and hence controlled rapid combustion maximising productivity. There is also a commonality of components with other engines in the 4000 Series family for

Alternators in this range have an auxiliary wound excitation system and come with the option of a PMG excitation system as an extra. The maximum standby power output of the alternators in this range varies from 900 kVA to 1540 kVA.

CPS diesel generators are controlled by the worldwide renowned brand Deep Sea Electronics, manufactured in the UK and providing customers worldwide pre/aftersales support.

The DSE4520, DSE7120, DSE7420, and DSE8610 are used across the range of diesel generators. The CPS team of engineers are fully trained to program and set up the parameters of the Deep Sea Electronics modules.

Deep Sea Electronics battery chargers are used in diesel generator sets in standby applications, and the Deep Sea Electronics business management and GPS systems technology are also used in bespoke applications.

A company spokesman commented on the metal recycling company project: “This company chose CPS as they wanted a bespoke UK-manufactured genset and were aware of their specification for a prime operation generator . This was therefore a very straightforward sales process and Steve managed to elevate the company’s inquiry from quote to invoice in a matter of a few days.” www.cps-generators.com
