MTU Onsite Energy gensets installed in South America

Rolls-Royce and TSK to deliver five power plants, 475 MW of backup capacity for Chile ’ s national electricity grid     TSK/Rolls-Royce consortium to deliver power plants for grid stabilisation purposes     TSK, as the consortium leader, is responsible for the delivery of the entire system     Glenfarne Group subsidiary Prime Energía to own and operate plants A consortium comprising EPC contractor TSK and Rolls-Royce has signed an engineering, procurement and construction ( “ EPC ” ) contract with Prime Energía Quickstart Spa, a subsidiary of Prime Energia SpA ( “ Prime Energía ” ), for the construction of five power plants across Chile consisting of 265 MTU Onsite Energy 16V 4000 gensets. Prime Energía is a subsidiary of the New York-based Glenfarne Group, LLC ( “ Glenfarne ” ), a developer, owner-operator and industrial manager of energy and infrastructure assets. Prime Energía ’ s five power plants will offer...

Can We Use Diesel Oil in My Gas Engine

Motorists may favor diesel motor oils over their gasoline counterparts for a few different reasons.     Diesel oil is perceived as more “ heavy-duty ” than gasoline oils     Some motorists desire a higher viscosity, and it may be easier to find a 5W-40 or 15W-40 diesel oil than gasoline oil     Diesel oil typically contains more robust detergency additives than gasoline oils It is safe to use a diesel oil in your gasoline engine, provided the diesel oil meets the appropriate specifications and viscosity requirements of your engine. For example, if your gas engine calls for a motor oil that meets the API SN specification, you can safely use a diesel oil of the correct viscosity that meets the API SN spec. For the typical gasoline application, however, a diesel oil isn ’ t required and the more appropriate choice is a quality gasoline motor oil for both performance and value. Pay attention to oil specification...

Electronic Control System Information

Electronic Control System  Information To meet the actual application requirements for the diesel – natural gas dual-fuel engine refit, a new electronic control system  for the dual-fuel engine is developed in the study. Specifically, an active mode switching board is developed to achieve flexible switching between the pure diesel mode and dual-fuel mode. A diesel nozzle physical simulator is developed to ensure that the original diesel electronic control unit does not trigger fault alarm when engine works in the dual-fuel mode. Moreover, a dual-fuel electronic control unit, which uses the high-speed and multicore TMS320F28M35 as its microcontroller unit, is additionally developed on the basis of the original diesel electronic control unit. The peak and hold current shape for the diesel nozzle is intelligently controlled by the software program in C2000 core. Experiments reveal that the developed electronic control system can select a proper working mode according to...

Gas Generator Maintenance Tips

It ’ s wise to have a generator ready to function during a power outage, especially if you live in an area where bad weather is prevalent. Thunderstorms, hurricanes, ice storms, and snowstorms are just some of the events that can cause an outage, so you must prepare. This must include generator maintenance — or you may as well not have one. Generator Maintenance Tips You ’ ll want to aim for checking and running your generator for half an hour every month. It ’ s a good idea to get used to doing that on the first or second day of each month so it becomes a habit. Before you start the generator, you should do a cursory check to see whether it has oil and water and that no critters have made a home in the generator. Generator maintenance is necessary in order to ensure that it starts when you need it most. Because you hopefully don ’ t use your generator a lot, the fuel will spend long periods of time sitting in the tank and lines. Bad fuel gums up the lines and car...
