Uninterrupted operation during and after hurricane force winds Standard heavy duty cooling system up to 50 C with no derate Flexible operation in island mode, load share, black start, or parallel to utilities GE s engines are designed with ease of maintenance in mind. The power assemblies can be easily exchanged, cylinder heads are welded to the liners to avoid gasket leakage, and sectional camshafts are easily accessible through large crankcase doors. 16 cylinder GE 7FDS diesel engine. 3 MW self-contained package. 12 cylinder GE 7FDS diesel engine.
World-class manufacturing center and global service network Advanced technology turbocharger The turbocharger for the 7FDS diesel is designed with GE s proven aircraft engine technology. Due to its critical nature, this component which is subject to severe thermal stresses is manufactured in-house to assure quality and reliability. On every 7FDS unit the turbocharger is properly matched to the engine for efficiency, performance, and mechanical packaging and driven by a single exhaust to provide higher mission reliability. GE Transportation s engine facility in Grove City, USA. As the largest manufacturer of medium speed diesel engines in the world with more than 15,000 medium-speed diesel engines currently High efficiency turbocharger based on GE s proven aircraft engine technology. in operation GE Transportation has the expertise and proven technology to provide customers with dependable power that can meet your exact needs. In addition to our world-class manufacturing center in Grove City, Pennsylvania, GE maintains a global network of field service offices and fully-equipped Service Centers that provide a full range of services including: Packaging Installation and commissioning Spare parts and service support during operation These comprehensive offerings combined with our commitment to reduce the turn times of Service Centers and outages result in substantial life cycle cost savings. Innovative emissions and control technologies GE continually develops innovative technologies to meet the evolving needs of our customers. As leaders in emissions technology, our diesel engines meet the latest emissions requirements including MARPOL, EPA Tier I and EPA Marine 2007 Tier II providing our 7FDS engines with NOx emission levels below 8.6 grams per horsepower-hour. Our PowerStarTM controller (available with multiple customized protection options) houses the electronic governor unit, speed reference 12 cylinder GE 7FDS diesel engine. and load control protecting the engine against overspeed, overload, low oil and pressure, and positive crank pressure. To assure optimal engine operation and reduce fuel consumption, this unit also determines the amount and timing of fuel injected into each cylinder. Unenclosed diesel generator set.
