16 cylinders 2.75MW and 4 turbos is just an awesome thing to behold ... Especially x2


That is all.

your generator has cylinders? what?

5/24/2013 10:25:50 AM

Catepillar, Detroit Diesel, Generac, Cummins !?!?!?!?

5/24/2013 10:29:32 AM

2.75 MW lol

600 MW at my site when construction finishes

5/24/2013 10:31:35 AM

wtf are you doing with 600MW?

5/24/2013 10:34:25 AM

keeping your lights on

5/24/2013 10:34:47 AM

..i think you're lost

5/24/2013 10:56:59 AM

NeuseRvrRat's gennies don't have cylinders.

Which site you at, Chris?

5/24/2013 10:58:11 AM

Sutton

We do have some blackstart diesels. Don't remember their output.

5/24/2013 11:01:21 AM

wow das a big one.

biggest i've ever encountered thru work has been 200 kW

5/24/2013 11:01:53 AM

diesel or natural gas?

We have 6 3MW Diesels on the outer banks that are pretty cool. 20 cylinders

5/24/2013 11:10:06 AM

Cummins Serial numbers 001 and 002 ... (first two off the line which is why i recommended going with cat since they have the bugs worked out on their 2.75mw)

lol 300hp lost to..... the radiator fan....

I NEED PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5/24/2013 12:36:23 PM

you can see ours on google maps

5/24/2013 12:37:34 PM

how did this garage thread get into chit chat?

5/24/2013 12:37:57 PM

^^ Showoff

5/24/2013 1:12:49 PM

we were actually testing our emergency diesel fire water pump today

our combustion turbines are dual fuel, so natural gas or ultra-low sulfur No. 2 fuel oil as an emergency. we have the ability to store 3 million gallons and we can burn it faster than it can be unloaded. at full load, water injection flow pretty much equals the fuel oil flow.

some pretty badass equipment.

5/24/2013 4:29:41 PM

On Siemens SGT6-5000F units, water injection is at about the same rate as fuel consumption. As far as I know, the GE 7FA units don't consume nearly as much. But then mitigating NOx hasn't always been a priority.

Wish the hell they'd let me go down to Sutton for all this. I'm low low on the totem pole though. Say hey to Mitch for me.

5/24/2013 4:37:41 PM

hey, sutton 2X1 combined cycle, in Wilmington? /me was there the other day to do his QA check on the elevator one of our crews installed.

5/24/2013 10:14:20 PM

^yeah, that's us. did you do the boiler elevator or the one in the admin building?


on topic: we have been testing/tuning on diesel the past few days. 170 MW per unit (2 units) in simple cycle mode . that's a lot of fuel oil.

I have nothing to add to this thread

8/21/2013 5:21:46 PM

ive moved about 3 of them at my job to various locations across the country to skyscrapers. thats all i can add. i have never personally visually beheld the power that they are able to create

8/21/2013 5:59:55 PM

Going to complete testing on two new 2.5 mw and two upgraded 1.3 mw cat/kato units tomorrow.
