HIPOWER Systems, a division of Himoinsa S.L. and a member of the Yanmar Co. Ltd. group of companies, announced an expansion to its Heavy Duty Industrial Spark-Ignited (HNI) Series with the launch of five new models: HNI-30, HNI-40, HNI-50, HNI-60 and HNI-80.
Designed to support a wide range of low-voltage stationary applications, these new units are available from 240/120 1PH up to 600/347 3PH, offering versatility and reliable standby power for data management, healthcare, construction and other critical installations. The HNI Series provides extensive configurability — including fuel types, enclosures, accessories, breaker options, I/O expansions and more — creating nearly unlimited combinations to meet demanding engineering specifications.
HIPOWER Systems selected Origin Engines as the preferred prime mover partner for this range. The HNI-30 features the 3.6L naturally aspirated engine, while the HNI-40, HNI-50, HNI-60, and HNI-80 leverage the 3.6L turbocharged intercooled engine.
All engines are EPA-certified for 60 Hz emergency standby applications and operate at 1800 RPM, using E-controls engines management software. Each model is coupled with four-pole Stamford alternators to deliver excellent transient voltage response, with an optional permanent magnet generator and MX341 or MX321 voltage regulator for applications requiring enhanced performance.
The new HNI-30 through HNI-80 models strengthen HIPOWER Systems' already proven HNI product line, which includes gensets ranging from 100–1000 kW. Beyond natural gas, these units can be configured to operate on liquid propane (LP), liquid propane vapor (LPV) or dual fuel — providing flexibility.
"With dual fuel operation — using natural gas as the primary source and LP or LPV as the secondary — customers can rely on their existing natural gas supply while maintaining on-site propane storage for emergency situations," said EJ Leblanc, director of engineering. "This ensures reliable power even if natural gas service is disrupted during a disaster."
The HNI Series is engineered for fast, accessible service. Each model includes four access doors and service-friendly oil and coolant drain points. The enclosure — fabricated and assembled at HIPOWER's Olathe, Kan., facility — is constructed from 11-gauge steel and finished with a powder coat that exceeds a 1400-hour salt spray test, ensuring superior durability for stationary applications.
"As with every HIPOWER generator, service accessibility is at the forefront of the HNI design," said Rafael Acosta, president of HIPOWER Systems. "Without a consistent maintenance schedule, standby generators cannot perform when needed most. Ensuring easy access to common service points is critical to long-term reliability."
