  • This generator, a 4,000 kW Caterpillar just underwent a Hz Conversion. So we started it up and it will soon go under a load test and our 31-point inspection before shipping out to a new home.

      I would bet, you could get more than that out of this size of engine. But to keep it running 24/7 you only getting 4000 kw.

    Retired from a large hospital / research centers that had 18 large gen sets. Most being Cat 2 MW Diesels. 4 were Cat natural gas garbage gen sets that even after a million dollar rebuild & new controls could not run over 90 to 95% load on load banks especially during warm weather. Wish Cat would install a ladder to reach radiator fill caps. Wasn't fun dragging a ten foot step ladder hundreds of feet to one of the eight generator rooms. Temple hospital in Philly has a huge generator room with 10 double ended Cat GE restore ( 2 Diesel engines = 1 at each end of gen sets ).

    Once got called out to a datacenter to fix a radiator on one of four brand new similar size cats. When they started commissioning the engines one of the fans sucked up a penny and launched it through the radiator core and the engine dumped the coolant everywhere. I remember when we bought it back having to carry 25 gallon drums of coolant up many flights of stairs for some reason. Good times.
