Diesel-powered Generator Meets North American Specs
To expand upon the standard QAC 1 MW
generator designed for the European market, Atlas Copco now offers the new QAC
1200 1 MW generator, specifically engineered to U.S. and Canadian specifications. With a wide variety of options, customers can customize the unit based on
their situation, such as high altitudes or
extreme weather conditions. The flexibility
of the QAC 1200, according to the company, makes it ideal for either prime power
or critical standby power in mining applications. The generator features a Cummins
QST30G5 diesel engine that is EPA Tier 2
certified and provides 1,140 kVA/912 kW
prime power rating (60 Hz). An integrated
fuel tank provides a minimum run time of
eight hours. The QAC 1200 was also engineered with 500-hour service intervals,
resulting in low life cycle costs. With a
compact container and a spillage-free
frame, the QAC 1200 offers compliance
with environmental regulations and efficient transportation. Low noise level (85
dBA at 1 meter) is ideal for sound-sensitive applications. Another option is the
Qc4002 controller that allows a user to
create a Power Management System
(PMS). This allows a very simple method
to parallel two or more generators beyond
1 MW, enhancing the core value of predictable power. Additional options include
battery charger, coolant heater, alternator
heater, external fuel supply three-way
valves with quick connections, automatic
fuel transfer system, engine lube oil makeup system, cold weather package, air inlet
shutdown valve and spark arresto.
