Perkins Introduces CPCBIV+ Certified 2806FA at EXCON 2023

12 Dec 2023 CW Team

The 2806FA platform excels in cold load acceptance, meeting ISO 8528-5 class G2 performance, and ensures steady-state stability at constant speed and load, achieving ISO8528-5 class G3 performance. This versatility positions the 2806FA as an ideal solution for a wide range of electric power applications, from stationary prime power sources to mobile units serving the rental sector. Its seamless performance makes it suitable for diverse settings, including critical installations like hospitals and data centres.

Apart from its performance attributes, the 2806FA is designed for economic operation. It improves fuel efficiency compared to its CPCBII predecessor and maintains an excellent diesel exhaust fluid-to-fuel ratio, controlling operational costs effectively. The engine features a high-efficiency selective catalytic reduction (SCR) treatment, complemented by a 66-litre diesel exhaust fluid tank, allowing extended run time between fills.

Abhinav Gupta, General Sales Manager ? South Asia, emphasises the critical role of reliable electric power, stating that the 2806FA is engineered to deliver stable and sustainable power, ensuring uninterrupted operations. The engine is positioned as part of Perkins' commitment to providing low total cost of ownership for customers in India.

For those aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the 2806FA accommodates biodiesel up to B20 or operates on 100 per cent hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), subject to meeting Perkins' fuel specifications. The engine features the latest electronics, a single on-engine electronic control module (ECM), simplifying installation and supporting future diagnostics. Perkins ensures global support for the 2806FA through its network of 88 distributors covering 185 countries, ensuring stable and sustainable electric power when and where customers need it.
