Perkins adds to ElectropaK range

Perkins has expanded its power generation lineup with the introduction of the 1106D-E66TAG ElectropaK range at the Power Gen show this month in Las Vegas, Nev. The family of three, 6.6 L, turbocharged, air-to-air cooled engines has been developed to provide prime and standby power with special emphasis placed on improved power density and meeting key market nodes.

The new 1106D-E66TAG ElectropaK range offers outputs from 108 kW at 1500 rpm to 175 kW at 1800 rpm for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz markets.

Built around the Tier 3/Stage 3a compliant 1106D engine, the 1106D-E66TAG ElectropaK range utilizes components of Caterpillar's ACERT technology. Perkins said fuel tolerance has been increased since kerosene, jet aviation fuel and 5% biofuel (RME) can power the units, with further options available depending on local application needs.

The most powerful model--the 1106D-E66TAG4--has a typical generator output of 144 kW and 160 kW for prime and standby operation respectively at 1500 rpm, while at 1800 rpm the unit delivers 160 kW for prime power applications and 175 kW for standby
In the middle of the range, the 1106D-E66TAG3 produces 120 kW for prime applications and 132 kW for standby at 1500 rpm, while at 1800 rpm it puts out 135 kW in prime mode and 150 kW in standby. The third model, the 1106D-E66TAG2, produces 108 kW for prime power applications and 120 kW at standby when at 1500 rpm. At 1800 rpm, the set delivers 125 kW at prime and 140 kW for standby applications
