New Mobile Gensets from Caterpillar

Caterpillar Inc. has introduced two new mobile diesel generator sets meeting Tier 4 (Non-road diesel engines) Interim emissions regulations.

The XQ200, powered by the fuel-efficient Cat® C7.1 engine, is rated for prime operation at 182 kW; the XQ350, powered by the Cat C13 engine, is rated for prime operation at 320 kW. Both units are sold and rented exclusively through Cat dealers.

Equipped with the new EMCP 4.2 control panel, both the XQ200 and XQ350 feature a user- friendly interface and auto-configuration of key performance parameters when voltage or frequency changes are required.

The system senses changes and adjusts the parameters for optimum performance. By automatically adjusting the protections and performance parameters to match voltage and speed positions, the control system ensures safe convenient operation. Providing greater flexibility when moving between multiple job sites with differing voltage or frequency needs, the auto-configuration capability eliminates the time required and potential errors when reprogramming units, a key benefit in the rental market.

Environmental considerations have also been incorporated into the XQ200 and XQ350. A solar powered battery maintainer has been designed into the container, keeping the batteries fully charged when not in use. The open crankcase ventilation system with filter reduces the oil contained in engine ventilation by 75 percent, decreasing potentially harmful fumes.
