The\u00a0new\u00a0Cat\u00ae\u00a0CG132B\u00a0generator\u00a0is\u00a0now\u00a0available\u00a0from\u00a0Finning\u00a0UK and Ireland (Finning), enabling industrial and commercial facilities to further increase electrical efficiency in combined heat and power (CHP) and continuous electric power applications.<\/p>\n
The first natural gas\u00a0generator\u00a0in its class engineered to meet an electrical efficiency of 43.5 per cent, the\u00a0\u00a0Cat\u00ae\u00a0CG132B\u00a0is rated for continuous power at 400, 600 and 800 kW for both 50 and 60 Hz. It is ideally suited for public utility, agricultural biogas, landfill, sewage plant, public building, leisure complex and mining applications.<\/p>\n
The latest in the B Series product line, the\u00a0CG132B\u2019s updated package design introduces state-of-the-art components to increase overall plant efficiency. This includes a flanged\u00a0generator\u00a0set\u00a0concept that contains a vibration-decoupled base frame, delivering improved reliability and reduced installation costs.<\/p>\n
Further improvements include the introduction of a water-cooled turbocharger with a wider combustion air temperature, and an enhanced oil management system. As a result, the\u00a0generator\u00a0can\u00a0now\u00a0operate for 80,000 hours until its first major overhaul \u2013 a marked improvement on previous B Series models, which required an overhaul after 64,000 operational hours.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the\u00a0CG132B\u00a0features Caterpillar\u2019s fully digitised Total Plant and Energy Management (TPEM) system. An advanced hardware and software solution, the TPEM system controls all power plant data and eliminates the need for multiple controls. It presents a wide variety of power plant data metrics via the\u00a0generator\u2019s user-friendly 15-inch touchscreen. Owners and operators can use this data to carry out systematic planning, shortening maintenance times.<\/p>\n
\u201cDesigned to meet the evolving challenges of the power plant industry, the\u00a0new\u00a0CG132B\u00a0generator increases efficiency and reliability while reducing ongoing maintenance costs,\u201d said\u00a0Nigel Thompson, Sales Manager \u2013 Gas Power Solutions at\u00a0Finning. \u201cThanks to its modified combustion chamber, the\u00a0CG132B\u2019s service requirements and pollutant emissions have all been markedly reduced.<\/p>\n
