John Deere Power Systems (JDPS) introduced a new generator drive Tier III emergency stationary power rating for its PowerTech E 9.0L diesel engine at POWER-GEN International 2010, Dec. 14 to 16 in Orlando, Fla.
The new power rating for the PowerTech E 9.0L, 6090HFG86, is 345 kWm at 1,800 rpm. This rating offers customers a competitive advantage with a key power node of 300 kWe standby power in a 9.0L displacement, according to the manufacturer.
The 345 kWm rating at 1,800 rpm currently is available in the JDPS lineup with a PowerTech Plus 13.5L, but the new PowerTech E 9.0L engine offers increased power density in a smaller package. This rating extends the PowerTech E 9.0L power range from 229 to 315 kWm to 229 to 345 kWm for emergency standby applications in the United States and Canada.
The PowerTech E 9.0L features a fixed-geometry turbocharger, high-pressure common-rail fuel system, 4-valve cylinder head, air-to-air aftercooling and full-authority electronic controls, compact size and increased power density. The engine offers quick-starting and clean-running performance for emergency standby gen-set applications.
“PowerTech E technology is ideal for emergency stationary gen-set applications, delivering performance optimized for these applications and superior block-loading capability in every operating condition,” said Vincenzo Perrone, power generation business manager of JDPS. “The new 9.0L rating offers customers exceptional competitive advantage with increased power density in a compact size, allowing for more installation flexibility.”
John Deere’s full lineup of generator-drive engines includes non-emissions certified; European Union Stage II and Stage III A; and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Tier I, II, III and Interim Tier IV models ranging from 2.4L to 13.5L of displacement and covering gen-set ratings from 42 to 634 hp (31 to 473 kW).
