Caterpillar releases new G3500 H-Series generator sets

Caterpillar Inc. has introduced a new series of Cat® generator sets designed to deliver the lowest owning and operating costs in their class. The G3516H is the first of the H-Series product line now available for operation on natural gas fuel. Currently offered at 2027 kWe power output at 50Hz, the G3516H will include a similar 60Hz rating to be made available later in 2013.

Developed based on customer demands for improved return on investment for combined heat and power (CHP) and continuous electric power applications, the new generator sets can be used in industrial and commercial facilities such as hospitals, data centers, manufacturing plants, and greenhouses as well as in distributed generation power plants by electric utilities.

"This product will provide customers in all applications with exceptional value; helping them reduce energy costs while continuing to provide the high reliability customers expect of the G3500 family," says Thoralf Lemke, Caterpillar Electric Power Gas Marketing Manager. (Source: 4-traders.com)
