Endusers can expect benefits in serviceability, power density, and turn-around time.
Generac Power Systems has standardized upon its 9.0 L engine across all 100 – 150 kW gaseous-fueled industrial configured gensets. The Generac 9.0 L engine already drives the 100 kW unit; it is now being incorporated into the company’s 130 and 150 kW generators. The move is expected to yield improved turn-around times, easier serviceability, and better power density across the line.
“Standardizing engines across several nodes—like we’ve done with the 100 through 150 kW units — will make all of these units easier to service,” said Mike Sparr, product manager, Generac. “Techs will be able to carry more common parts and will have fewer engine models to troubleshoot. And because the 9.0 L engine has the best published power density in the industry on these nodes, they will experience less wear and tear. Plus our manufacturing processes will be further streamlined, making our already fast turn-around times even better.”
