Latest Development In Perkins Engines And Diesel Generators

If you are a user of a diesel generator for domestic or commercial purposes or

are associated with the power sector, you will definitely be delighted by the latest developments in the arena of diesel engines. However, if you are a Perkins fan, you will be enthralled with some spectacular news about the engineering feats of the Perkins engineers.

Available for two different frequencies

The good news for users of Perkins diesel generators or for those who are planning to buy one – Perkins diesel generators range now includes both 50 Hz and 60 Hz in open set configuration and silent canopied type. It means that the AC voltage from these gen-sets will now be applicable to a wider set of countries and geographical locations, depending on the frequencies of the AC voltages that are present in the power grids of different countries following different conventions and ratings. It also means that Perkins will be able to increase its network of dealers and penetrate the market further in terms of geographical expanse, especially in those regions where its engines were not enjoying the pole position among the diesel generator manufacturers. Further, the presence or absence of canopies being optional, Perkins will be able to diversify its product pricing packaging and marketing campaigns.

Most wide range of power rating

In fact, most new diesel generator production facilities have enabled a step increase in capacity. Generators are available in 3 phase and 1 phase configurations and the range incorporates the new 2200 Perkins engine series. The latest engineering techniques employed by Perkins and carefully matched turbo-charging means improved fuel economy over the 2300 series. Perkins genset series starts at 10kVA and finishes at 2200kVA. This means that cutting-edge power back-up systems are all set to replace old and used Perkins generators across homes and industries.

Fast service and improved logistics

Authorized dealers and resellers offer genuine Perkins parts for all models of industrial diesel engines. Even, some of them offer logistics service that includes same day supply for fast moving Perkins spares and components. Such unique service will certainly add to the brand loyalty and fan following among the customers of Perkins, especially among those big-money enterprises for whom blazing fast servicing of power equipments are mandatory to ensure undisrupted operations and mission-critical procedures. Due to all these reasons, Perkins is the most favored diesel engine makers for generators range from 10kVA - 2200kVA.

Minimized servicing costs

The two cylinder engine manufactured by Perkins will surely outlast others twice its size and cost.  You can run it full time for 20 days before it needs an oil change.  Most other brands can't make it past 100 hours without service. Quite naturally, Perkins will be able to add value to their customers by greatly reducing the routine servicing costs as well as major overhauls. No wonder, customers of Perkins engines, who are mainly generator manufacturers, will be able to deliver better finished products to the end users. 

Better cooling mechanisms

Last but not the least, m companies manufacture air cooled generators. However, the Perkins 402D-05 engine is radiator cooled. The cost of producing power is less than any other diesel, gas, or propane powered generator. The engine life and fuel savings make this generator a great choice for off-grid and prime power applications.

So, for all the above mentioned reasons, it is perhaps the best time to sell-off your Used Perkins Generators and procure a new one.
