Cummins power generation expands enclosure line

Cummins Power Generation (CPG) has expanded its line of factory-installed weather-protective and sound-attenuated enclosures to include generator sets from 230 kW to 1000 kW. The enclosures offer three optional levels of protection and are designed to speed up installations and reduce costs, according to the Minneapolis, Minn., manufacturer.

"This expanded line of Cummins-made enclosures provides optimum weather protection and sound attenuation in a pre-integrated and pre-assembled package;' said Angel Colon-Perez, commercial product manager at CPG. "In addition to offering many of the features of custom-designed enclosures, these enclosures have the added benefits of lower cost, perfect fit and prompt delivery with the generator set."

Standard features for this expanded line of weather-protective and sound-attenuated enclosures include all-steel construction, stainless-steel hardware, lockable access doors, protected exhaust system and side-mounted generator controls. Enclosures for the 600 to 1000 kW product range also feature an exterior emergency stop. In addition, the enclosures provide flex connections on the exhaust pipes, and oil and coolant drains that are piped to the exterior but have interior valves The standard weather-protective enclosure has a sound-attenuation rating of 85 to 89 dB(A). The optional Level I sound-attenuated enclosure has a rating of 78 to 85 dB(A); and the optional QuietSite Level II sound-attenuated enclosure has a rating of 70 to 78 dB(A).

Other optional features include motorized louvers, a pre-wired ac distribution panel, a cold-weather package and a UL142, NFPA-compliant sub-base furl tank designed to provide up to 72 operating hours worth of fuel. Also available as options are non-corrosive aluminum enclosure materials and models to withstand wind loading levels up to 150 mph
