Onsite Power - Products & Services Trojan Battery Co. Launches Reliant AGM with C-Max Technology Reliant AGM with C-Max Technology, a true deep-cycle AGM battery, is available from Trojan Battery Co., LLC. Reliant AGM maximizes sustained performance and increases total energy output to meet deep-cycling requirements. Reliant AGM is manufactured in the US and is suitable for applications including renewable energy and remote telecom. "Trojan's Reliant AGM is specifically engineered for deep-cycling applications, unlike most AGM batteries on the market today which are designed for dual-purpose or standby applications, such as UPS backup," said Dave Godber, Trojan Battery's executive vice president of sales and marketing. "Trojan has focused on deep-cycle technology longer than any other battery manufacturer in the industry and has utilized our extensive expertise and knowledge in developing the industry's most reliable deep-cycle AGM battery." "Trojan's Reliant line of true deep-cycle AGM batteries feature elements that offer a new direction in AGM technology," said Gordon Beckley, senior vice president of engineering and quality assurance at Trojan Battery. "As the only true deep-cycle AGM battery on the market today, Reliant AGM is a completely new AGM design, which our engineering team has been developing for the last several years. After extensive market research and meeting with our customers to determine their specific requirements for deep-cycle AGM batteries, Trojan's engineering team set out to develop a true deepcycle AGM battery to meet these market demands." Reliant's exclusive C-Max Technology incorporates a wide range of features not found in many of today's AGM battery offerings. The combination of its proprietary paste formula, unique separator, special polymer case design and maximum flame arrestors, coupled with Trojan's manufacturing excellence, delivers increased total energy output, maximized sustained performance, consistent quality, and enhanced durability. Doosan Portable Power Introduces Line of Natural Gas Generators Doosan Portable Power has introduced the company's first natural gas mobile generators. The NG160, NG225 and NG295 natural gas-powered generators combine the ability to operate on wellhead natural gas with rugged, reliable features that ensure performance in remote locations and harsh environments. The natural gas generators are well suited for use in oil and gas exploration, site preparation and production, water well drilling, industrial plants and as auxiliary or maintenance power in factory settings. Doosan natural gas generators are equipped with an automatic dual-fuel switch, allowing the generator to operate on natural gas, as well as propane from an external tank. This ensures continuous generator operation in the event that wellhead gas flow is interrupted or unavailable. A patent-pending Onboard Scrubber System improves machine performance by removing excess dirt and water from wellhead gas. It includes a heated drain valve to prevent water removed from the gas from freezing in the hose, an event that could disrupt the flow of natural gas and possibly cause the machine to shut down. This allows more uptime and fewer calls to a service technician. The system is fully enclosed to protect it against harsh weather, possible damage during shipping and vibration that would occur if attached to the drawbar. An oil level maintainer allows for extended run time. Generator diagnostics and uptime are also supported by a telematics system that allows fleet and service managers to remotely observe machine use and performance in secluded or difficult-to-monitor locations. Telematics come standard on Doosan 28 www.RemoteMagazine.com natural gas generators; advanced satellite options are available for machines in isolated locations. Dual frequency and optional voltage make Doosan natural gas generators are versatile. Operators can select 50 Hz or 60 Hz, with the simple flip of a switch and choose between 480 V and 600 V alternator output. Rolls-Royce Launches MTU Onsite Energy 18 V 2000 Generator Set Rolls-Royce has released the all-new MTU Onsite Energy 18 V 2000 generator set with a power output of 1,250 kWe, increasing the power range of its family of series 2000 products. The generator set is based on the newly developed MTU series 2000 diesel engine in an 18 V configuration, which is designed exclusively by MTU for power generation applications. The MTU 18 V 2000 generator set will allow MTU Onsite Energy customers with requirements at the 1,250 kWe node to purchase a powerful generator set with a more efficient footprint than was previously available. The result of years of development, the highly engineered diesel generator set utilizes a high-pressure common rail fuel injection system and optimized air filter and outlet placements. Additionally, the generator set's engine control unit (ECU), now an ECU9, boasts increased RAM and processor capacity that delivers four times the speed of earlier ECUs. Caterpillar Expands Range of Diesel Generator Sets Meeting IBC, OSHPD Seismic Requirements Caterpillar, Inc. has extended the company's range of Cat diesel generator sets for North America that have been certified to meet the seismic provisions of all published editions of the International Building Code (IBC). Caterpillar now offers a range of diesel generators sets with IBC certifications and OSHPD seismic preapproval, including the only 4 MW diesel generator set on the market that has earned both designations. To date, Caterpillar has received certifications for a total of 20 models of 60-Hz Cat diesel generator sets ranging from 11 kW to 4 MW, and 11 models of 50-Hz generator sets from 910 kVA to 4 MVA. Every one of these generator sets is certified to the maximum short period design spectral response acceleration value (SDS) for at-grade and above-grade installations recognized by IBC, matching or exceeding the seismic performance of any other generator set manufacturer. The enclosed models of C27 and C32 generator sets have also received IBC certification up to a 120-mph wind load. Additionally, Caterpillar has secured Special Seismic Certification Preapproval (OSP) from the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) for 19 models of 60-Hz diesel generator sets rated from 11 kW to 4 MW. Select Cat components for emergency power systems, including low- and medium-voltage paralleling switchgear and automatic transfer switches, meet the IBC's seismic provisions and have received Special Seismic Certification Preapproval from OSHPD. To fulfill the requirements for IBC certification and OSHPD preapproval, independent shake table testing on Cat power generation equipment was performed by structural engineers working in conjunction with the firm of Tobolski Watkins Engineering, Inc. at the US Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) in Champaign, Ill. The International Code Council (ICC) publishes the IBC as part of a mission to develop a single set of national model construction codes that specifically address the design and installation of building systems - including emergency power systems, with an emphasis on performance.
