DESIGNED FOR CRITICAL POWER APPLICATIONS: PRIME, CONTINUOUS OR STANDBY POWER

Engineered for the power generation market, the Perkins® 5000 Series is said to be packed with features and the performance to match customer demands.

Designed to supply electrical power when and where needed, whether to critical power applications, prime continuous or standby power, the 5000 Series has been optimised and tested to deliver cost-effective, reliable performance no matter the location or demand.

The 5000 Series engines have been designed from the ground up to deliver power when you need it, says Perkins.

The power demands of critical applications like data centres and hospitals drove the development of a platform that is compliant with NFPA 110 Type 10 as well as G2 and G3 standards – enabling a fast ramp up to full load.

The Perkins 5000 Series range includes inline six- and eight-cylinder models (23- and 30-litre), together with V12 and V16 (46- and 61-litre) versions.

The engines have been engineered specifically for the power generation market, delivering prime or standby power for applications including data centres and hospitals.

The 5000 Series is described as the largest and most powerful fully-electronic engine range yet delivered by Perkins.

The engines have been designed to support the need for quick, reliable and cost-effective power. Power output for the new turbocharged engines extends from 750 to 2500 kVA (2250 kVA prime). Delivering high efficiency and low fuel consumption.

EMEA sales director for Perkins, Richard Hemmings, comments: “With multiple engine models offering a substantial power output of up to 2500 kVA, every aspect of the new 5000 Series engine range, from its outstanding load acceptance capabilities to custom-created components and innovative engineering techniques, has been designed to optimise our customers’ needs for quick, reliable and cost-effective power.”

All models (5006, 5008, 5012 and 5016) feature electronic fuel injection and an overhead camshaft and are compliant to US EPA Tier 2.

The smaller engines can operate for up to 750 hours/2 years before requiring oil and primary fuel filters.

The larger models can operate for up to 500 hours/2 years. They offer remote monitoring, operation at altitude and ease of integration, reports the manufacturer.

The Perkins® 5008C-E30TAG - for example - has been specifically designed to offer reliable power for the emergency standby and critical applications market, including data centres and hospitals among others.

Engineered and built specifically for the power generation market, the Perkins 5000 Series is certainly a power-packed engine range built to be dependable, versatile and offer lower emissions to meet regulatory standards.

Benefits include: 100% block load capability; Up to 750 hours / 2 years service interval; and up to 1107 kW from its 30 litre engine (36.9 kW/l).

A spokesman for Perkins comments: “The 5000 Series delivers maximised productivity through excellent load acceptance, achieving NFPA110 Type 10 and ISO 8528-5 G2 and G3 performance class.

“The engine build and performance has been designed with ultimate productivity and dependability in mind, so customers can be confident that power will be available when required.

“They have been tested around the world, in the harshest environments imaginable, to ensure the best performance, no matter the conditions.” www.perkins.com
