For decades, lead acid was the only option to provide backup power for data centers. The rise of lithium-ion technology in recent years improved upon the limitations of lead acid, but lithium-ion isn’t a miracle solution and comes with significant risk.
These new models join a proven series of gensets that continues to provide the highest power density and best fuel consumption at more nodes than competitors between 700 and 4,000 kW, offering cost savings to users.
Powered by the Cat G3516H gas engine, the new module packages a CSA-certified gas train and cooling, noise attenuation, air handling, and other essential components in a weather-resistant, 40-foot container that streamlines transport and deployment while offering exceptional sound attenuation.
When used together, the master and satellite modules can be deployed in higher-powered, single-output configurations to meet growing board-level power requirements and power density demands or in dual-output configurations to power components with differing output voltage requirements.
The realities of global warming are undeniable, but we face a population that simply doesn’t understand how they are contributing to it, truly believing that by plugging something into an outlet versus running on self-purchased fuel, they have helped.
Good fuel management should be an integral part of maintenance operations with visual and at-the-tank inspections at the heart of the regime to avoid corrosion, damage, or blockage of fuel systems and engine failure.
