Several years ago I worked as an electrician on a project to install facilities for eleven Cat V16 gen-sets for ESPN generating at 13.8 kv. I don't know if they were this model, but they were Cat V16's. Very complicated, and very impressive at the end to see eight of these engines in a row.
I never got a chance to see testing with all of them running in parallel and carrying the ESPN Bristol campus. The Russelectric controls were incredible, and the 15 kv buss duct and switching gear were impressive as well. I just never got to see the end result. When your job's done, you don't hang around, you get re-assigned.
This is so satisfying. The fit and finish of everything I can see in the video is excellent. Worked on a power generation project with main details I can't discuss but diesel fired (no spark plugs to maintain) natural gas fueled power generation. It was originally designed to reduce electricity costs for a factory but they've figured out that they can shut the plant down and sell power back to the grid when the price goes up and make more money.
2.4 mega watts PRIME RATED means this will run CONTINUOUSLY at that output. Keep the fuel coming and the only time you need to shut down is for normal service - filters, etc.
The school I work at has three of em. They power the whole town when power goes out. Similar system with external radiators, or whatever you call em at this scale.
I LOVE THAT BIG GRUNT FROM A DIESEL ENGINE" YOU CANT BEAT THE SOUND OF A CAT DIESEL ENGINE, HAS THAT DISTINCTIVE SOUND! FANTASTIC!! lol sorry caps on! I'm shouting over the sound of the engine hahaha 👍😉
I noticed he said it was a "warm start." I hope during a "cold start" the cooling fans won't come on immediately. This will cause a delayed warm up times to the coolant. But I am sure it has a block heater or has a heated room for cold winter starts.
Hi There Jason, once commissioned and in use/on standby the unit is continuously warmed by hot/water pumped around the engine jacket so that it is always ready to start.
i worked on them when the 794AC arrived to my Worksite a Coal Mine in Coahuila Mexico.. remember a day that had very low power on the right side.. people tought they were the injectors and turbos but it was an admission coupling loose...
the fans may bring a lot of air into the cab,because the engine need a lot of him. if one fan stops and the others dont have the capacity the cab may have negative relative pressure,and the air intakes for all the clearances exist,and some doors may open is they are not locked.
When I was in electronics industry a chip company had a set of twins like that consecutive block #s 40k gal fuel tanks too 80k fuel capacity total . When I saw them 200 hrs each running time .cranked once a month for an hour under gen load . Beautiful Beasts under load .
cat is the upmost supreme diesel engine bar none,especially in the trucking industry, cats are what Cummins and detroits long to be when they grow up, man i miss them, very informative and awesome video mate.
Freddy Hernandez In the railroad industry, the Cummins QSK-95 (16 cylinder) is beating the 20 cylinder C175 in terms of reliability, with the CAT having just 300 more horsepower.
Yea right. Cat got put out of the trucking industry because they where afraid to deal with emissions components. Cummins is the only one that survived albeit pos paccar engines.
Justin Martin and Cummins have been big turds unless they’re deleted. I’ll hang on to my Unbridged MBN C15 at 640 hp that makes it from from shipper to receiver without sitting on the side of the road waiting on a regen or a wrecker.

Those enclosures are for environmental control and air intake control/filtration for the engine. Over sizing it would be counter intuitive since it would make control more difficult and require more material which means more money. And if you consider how much maintenance is done on this engine it would make no sense to spend the money. Change filters, top up oil, and do routine checks while its running (i.e. poke your head in and make sure its not too hot, has oil and sounds normal). Other than that these engines are built to last and any major repairs would be few and far between, and if major repairs are required there will be access points and disconnects so they can do work on any part of the engine. Also note the enclosure is meant to reduce the incredibly high and constant noise levels generated, so this man should have hearing protection at all times near this while it's running.

Hi there, this is only personal preference however I would stick with Cummins or Cat, but you would be best off contacting each of the companies and seeing what they can offer with regards to value for money and warranties.
The guy that designed one of the systems I installed, told me that means the back up generator needs to be at full power in 10 seconds or less to meet that NFPA standard, we weren't working at a hospital, but apparently the one meg generator we installed was hospital rated, the starter spun that thing up so fucking fast it was crazy, it was at full power in about 8 seconds, I've only done a few, neat stuff.

What amount of diesel it take to start the engine and fuel consumption per hour and mileages if you have a two thousand gallons tank.
Hi there, depends on the load but typically when running an average of 190 gallons /hour, so around 10.5 hours.
Sound just like my car 😂👌
have fixed your car yet?

Not previously no.
