Generator series - Products - Ingersoll-Rand Equipment & Services Co - Brief Article - Product Announcement
Ingersoll-Rand Equipment & Services Co. has introduced the GenPowerSource[TM] generator series, which includes 24 models and features a mid-sized range of machines that provide 17kVA to 34kVA of diesel power backed by Mitsubishi engines. All units are four-pole brushless equipped with an analog control panel. The panel includes standard features such as key start switch, emergency stop button, diagnostic warning lights for low oil pressure, high water temp and no-charge alternator indicator. Each generator has an extra-quiet sound rating with levels ranging as low as 65-dBA measured at 23 ft. The G17-G34 generators include EC hard-wired terminals with easy wire insert and plastic dividers that separate terminals to avoid contact. Each Unit has a replaceable air filter located inside the enclosure and a water separator to protect the engine from water-contaminated fuel. Optional trailers are available for all models. The trailers are equipped with an additional fuel cell to provide up to 24 hours of run time.
Deutz readies: D2008/2009 diesels: covering 15 to 67 hp, engines due for production in early 2005; construction, ag and stationary uses targeted
Deutz Corp. is moving toward the start of volume production of its D2008 and D2009 diesels scheduled for early 2005. Since their official introduction at Bauma earlier tins year, Deutz Corp., Norcross, Ga., has been placing prototypes in specific applications in North America.
There are five models in the line, all water-cooled, with outputs from 15 to 67 bp and thus filling a key spot in Deutz's overall engine range. The D2008/D2009 are the two engines that Deutz purchased as part of its acquisition of a portion of Lister Petter in March.
These new products were developed in the newly named Deutz Technology Service Center in the U.K., which was also part of the acquisition. The Deutz Technology Service Center in Dursley will continue to develop the D2008 and D2009 series, and will also take on other development projects for Deutz AG, the Cologne, Germany-based parent of Deutz Corp. The engines will be built at the Deutz manufacturing operations in Cologne, Germany.
Gordon Riske, CEO of Deutz AG said, "The new engine series fit perfectly into the existing Deutz product range and by utilizing rile technology, we have shortened the time to market enormously."
With these new engines, Deutz is now in a position to introduce further products into its Tier 2 and Tier 3 product portfolio, in this case in the 15 to 67 hp range, a key and highly competitive power band on the North American off-highway markets.
The new Dentz engines are being targeted specifically at mobile construction and agricultural equipment, as well as stationary uses such as pump and generator sets.
The ongoing engineering development work also has taken into account the more stringent requirements the market is now demanding in terms of the lowest possible exhaust and noise emissions, said Trevor Purnell, product manager. Purnell said the engines have been certified for Tier 2/Stage 2 off-highway operation and Deutz is working toward Tier 3/Stage 3a certification.
Specifically, the D2008 series are a pair of water cooled engine models from 12 to 36 hp, at speeds of 1500 to 3000 rpm. With a 76 mm bore x 86 mm stroke, the D2008 engines are available in three- and four-cylinder versions. The design of the D2008 engines includes a crossflow cylinder head and a gear-driven camshaft, which also allows the operation of optional engine-mounted high power hydraulic pump drives.
Deutz said the D2008 has an indirect injection combustion design that will easily achieve the Stage 3a/Tier 3 exhaust emission limits almost immediately, without significant changes.
The Delphi fuel-injection pump can be used for many applications, and the use of an optional "drive by wire" electronic governor offers additional flexibility in all applications, Deutz said.
On the service side, Deutz said oil change intervals of 250 hours combined with closed crankcase ventilation and hydraulic tappets offer a low-maintenance package.
Meanwhile, the D2009 series includes three water-cooled engine models, in three-, four- and turbocharged four-cylinder versions. Its increased displacement with a 90 mm bole x 90 mm stroke, and direct injection system are the main differences between the D2008 and D2009 series. The output range for the D2009 engines is from 20 to 67 hp at 1500 to 3000 rpm.
The fuel injection system of the D2009 series is a Delphi distributor pump. The D2009 has a 500-hour oil change interval, as well as closed crankcase ventilation and hydraulic tappets.
Both new Deutz engine series have been designed with a module approach in mind. The number of components used has been reduced and the number of common parts increased. As a result, the cost of ownership, product life cycle costs and operating costs are all optimized, Deutz said.
For example, the PTOs of the D2009 and D2008 series are identical. The platform's overall design is completed by the ensuing reduction in maintenance, and increased reliability will enable customers to reduce their operating costs. Further similarities between the two series can be found in the crossflow design of the cylinder head and the uncomplicated design. Both engine families also have a 20% torque back-up at maximum power.

Diesel Shortage Could Cripple Net Access
Most critical network hubs in lower Manhattan switched over to diesel generators when a power outage began Tuesday night. Internet access and some telephone communications may further deteriorate in the metropolitan New York area unless restrictions on the delivery of diesel fuel are lifted.
Electricity and gas were disconnected to prevent fire and explosions in parts of the still-smoldering disaster zone created when terrorists flew widebody jets laden with fuel into the twin World Trade Center towers.
Though fuel trucks are formally banned from entering the city, some exchange operators were able to make the case for exceptions to authorities, and should be able to keep their collocations running.
Focal Communications' switch was out from 8 p.m. Tuesday until about 3 a.m. today. "We currently have 24 hours worth of fuel and will be receiving another fuel delivery sometime today," spokesman Matt Batt said.
Focal operates a network exchange at 32 Old Slip in New York. Its tenants include NaviPath, a provider of dial-up access for large users, including EarthLink and AOL. Should companies like NaviPath start losing connectivity, thousands of users would have trouble dialing into the Internet, and Net access proved a communications lifeline for people in the affected areas.
Con Edison has not indicated when power will be restored. Two more critical network locations, at 60 Hudson St. and at 25 Broadway, are reportedly running on generator power. Like Focal's at 32 Old Slip, they have 24 hours to 48 hours worth of fuel. Another critical location, at 111 8th Ave., was evacuated Tuesday, but reportedly has power today.
If more than one of these locations goes dark, the Internet won't stop working, but will experience a significant slowdown. Many Manhattan locations have international fiber installations, acting as traffic hubs between the U.S. and Europe. NYIIX, an exchange hosting several international carriers, is at 25 Broadway. The 8th Ave. location is a major peering point.
"It is highly unlikely that additional fuel can be brought in today, because of the security cordon," said Daniel Golding, network engineering director of Sockeye Networks, a company providing efficient routing to network and enterprise customers. "Many of these colos are south of Canal Street, and some - 25 Broadway - are in the financial district, almost in the shadow of the former World Trade Center. 25 Broad, in particular, is right across from the famous 'bull statue' on Wall Street."
Even if fuel trucks do get into the city, many are concerned that generators won't be able to continue operating because of dust and soot in the air clogging the machines. Experts say these fears are well-founded and hope the operators of network exchanges have a Plan B in case power isn't restored in a couple of days.
"Our experience with diesel generators from the events like the Chicago tunnel flood is that they are great solutions for a week or so, but then you run into maintenance issues," said John Jackson, president of Comdisco's Availability Solutions unit, which specializes in disaster recovery services and has several enterprise customers in the affected area. "After several days, our experience is that our customers start to run into reliability issues."
