Caterpillar introduces new generator set

Caterpillar Inc. announces the introduction of the G3520C 50 Hz Low Energy Fuel Package Generator Set for use with methane fuels found in landfills, digesters and other low-energy biogas environments. Built on the proven, versatile G3520C platform, this new generator set includes equipment that optimizes the performance of engines in parallel-to-grid, continuous-operation applications that use corrosive, low-energy gases.

The G3520C 50 Hz Low Energy Fuel Package Generator Set offers several features to extend engine life while maximizing performance, including stainless-steel, corrosion-resistant aftercooler cores, 110° C jacket water outlet temperature and crankcase air cleaners. An optional positive-crankcase ventilation system is also available with this package.

Equipped with a Gas Engine Control Module using ADEMTM III electronic controls, the G3520C 50 Hz Low Energy Fuel Package Generator Set allows for full engine control from a single source. The advanced Air/Fuel Ratio Control is designed for use without an oxygen sensor, allowing as high as a 19.2 bar BMEP rating that supplies high power density while meeting NOx emission levels of 500 mg/NM3. An optional level of 250 mg/NM3 is also available through a 54° C separate circuit aftercooler (SCAC) system that can be used with a conventional cooling system arrangement in almost all geographic locations.
