Included in the Generating Set Price
Fully classifiable specification suitable for survey including, duplex change over fuel filters and flexible fuel connections for inlet and return, fire retardant and ‘type’ approved. Double walled (sheathed) fuel injector pipes on D5 & D7; these are not required on the other models with unit injectors. D9, D12 and D16 also include switchable lubricating oil filters and EIAPP Certificate. Ratings are based on Class ‘F’ temperature rise in marine unrestricted ambient conditions.
Beta Marine Generating Sets - Specifications
Beta Marine - Marine Generating Set having a continuous rated “Prime” power output, 3 phase, at 0.8P.F., with a capability for 10% overload in accordance with ISO standard; designed, built and tested by Beta Marine Limited, each comprising:
• Powered by a Cummins Marine specification heat exchanger cooled marine auxiliary diesel engine and rated for continuous operation in accordance with ISO 3046.
• Heat exchanger cooling complete with cupro-nickel tube bundle, with fresh and sea water pumps. Water cooled exhaust manifold (except 6CT).
• Exhaust elbow and flanged flexible bellows section.
• 24 volt electric start system with battery charging alternator and stop solenoid valve. Fully insulated return marine system.
• Combined start, alarm and shutdown panel engine mounted and pre-wired to engine components and including: start/stop keyswitch, oil pressure gauge, coolant temperature gauge, tachometer/hours run meter, shutdown on low lubricating oil pressure, high coolant temperature, and overspeed; indicator lamps for faults and power on, provision for connection of customers remote emergency stop.
• Speed governor to control engine speed to the requirements of ISO 3046 for diesel generating set.
• Cummins standard fuel oil and lubricating oil filters. Flexible fuel connections
• Lubricating oil cooler and sump drain pump.
• Dry type combustion air inlet filter.
• Mecc Alte Marine generator, marine rated to ISO standard, ventilated drip proof enclosure with IP 23 protection, single bearing construction. The generator is self regulating and self excited and is complete with terminal box and automatic voltage regulator.
• Engine and generator are close coupled together and mounted on a welded steel baseplate.
• Marine failsafe anti-vibration mountings to isolate the set from the ships seating.
• Paint: Cummins white.
Each generating set is “full load” tested in accordance with our quality document QA001. (On turbocharged engines load acceptance is limited in accordance with ISO 3046).
Optional Extras and Alternative Equipment
• Engine options: Alternative engine cooling options - keel cooling, or radiator cooling with mounted radiator and engine driven fan, (radiator cooled output is slightly derated due to power absorbed by fan). Alternative means of engine starting and a second means of starting. Starter batteries. Dry exhaust silencer. Spark arrestor exhaust silencer. Fuel/water separators. Duplex changeover fuel filters with inlet hose. Double skinned (sheathed) high pressure fuel injection pipes (these are not included in the standard specification, and not required on QSM, VTA or KTA models).
• Alternator options: Anti condensation heaters, droop kit 3 phase sensing etc.
• Generating set options: 2 bearing generator with flexible coupling drive and torsional vibration analysis. Extra alarm switches for UMS operation. Parallel operation. Automatic mains failure equipment. Extended control panels. Mains output panels etc..
• Generating sets manufactured to Class: Lloyds Register, Det Norske Veritas, Bureau Veritas, American Bureau of Shipping, Germanischer Lloyd (not QSM11), RINA, etc.
• Export packing and FOB UK port.
• All goods are offered and supplied in accordance with our 'General Terms of Tender and Sale'.
