Perkins 4012-46TAG1A Diesel Engine Technical Data

Oct. 15, 2019

According to the experts, the global diesel generator market for industrial applications will grow at a care of 4.65% during the period to 2017 - 2021. You can see that electricity plays an important role in our daily life. The modern world needs electricity to operate almost everything, ranging from transportation systems, computer databases or other fields. Perkins, as a global engine brand, is widely used in various fields as well as every country. There is no doubt that Perkins generator will be one of the prominent vendors in the diesel genset market.

Rating definitions

 

Baseload power

Unlimited hours usage with an average load factor of 100% of the published baseload power rating.

Prime power

Variable load. Unlimited hours usage with an average load factor of 80% of the published Prime Power over each 24 hour period. A 10% overload is available for 1 hour in every 12 hours.

Standby power

Limited to 500 hours annual usage with an average load factor of 80% of the published Standby Power rating over each 24 hour period. Up to 300 hours of annual usage may be run continuously. No overload is permitted on Standby Power.

Cooling System

Recommended coolant: 50% inhibited ethylene glycol or 50% inhibited propylene glycol and 50% clean 

fresh water. For combined heat and power systems (CHP) and where there is no likelihood of ambient 

temperature below 10 °C, then clean ‘soft’ water may be used, treated with 1% by volume of Perkins 

inhibitor in the cooling system. The inhibitor is available from Perkins.
