Perkins continues to invest in its product range with the addition of an 18-liter engine designed to meet the specific needs of the North American rental industry for mobile electric power generation.
Building on its U.S. EPA Tier IV Final power offering, Perkins has continued to expand the range with the addition of the 2806F-E18TAG2 ElectropaK. With more than 90 years of design experience and several million Perkins-powered generator sets operating around the world, Perkins understands the needs of the power generation industry. This knowledge and expertise have driven the design and development of the 2806F-E18TAG2, a new engine that delivers a powerful package and ease of integration, according to Perkins.
The 2806F-E18TAG2 is designed specifically for mobile generator set applications and tailored to meet the needs of the North American rental industry. By achieving ISO 8528-5 G2 performance, the 2806F — which is now available to order — provides excellent load acceptance for a wide range of electric power applications that rely on mobile generator sets for job sites, events and many other locations where mobile generator sets deliver electric power, according to Perkins
Keeping Power On
"Rental companies and their customers have unique requirements but still need reliable electric power to keep operations running," said Jaz Gill, vice president of global sales, marketing, service and parts. "The new 2806F has been engineered and expertly crafted to provide capable, stable and sustainable power specifically for the North American rental mobile generator set industry. It is our latest offering in a long line of products that deliver reliable power with a low total cost of ownership and demonstrates Perkins commitment to meeting both our customers' and their end users' needs."
Subject to using fuel that meets Perkins' fuel specifications, the 2806F can run with biodiesel up to B20 based on a 20 percent dilution of biodiesel with standard diesel or on 100 percent hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).
A Powerful Solution
The ElectropaK 2806F produces up to 500 kWe prime power at 60 Hz and features the latest electronics with a single, on-engine electronic control module (ECM) that simplifies wiring harnesses, eases installation, supports future diagnostics and is capable of integration with customers' telematics solutions, according to Perkins.
The ECM also manages all aspects of aftertreatment operation and regeneration without operator input. Regeneration occurs automatically with no impact on performance, maximizing uptime. This allows rental customers to focus on the task at hand without worrying about their supply of electric power.
Together, We Power Ahead
The new 2806F-E18TAG2 joins the Perkins full line up of U.S. EPA Tier IV Final certified engines for electric power generation: 400 Series, 904 Series, 1200 Series, 1700 Series and the 2000 Series, with power ranging from 7 kWe at 1800 rpm to 500 kWe at 1800 rpm.
