CAT 3516B Dynamic Gas Blending Generator Set

Maintains Diesel Generator Set Performance

• Quick Starts.
• Excellent load acceptance.
• Since the engine always starts with 100% diesel, the start up and load transfer operation is the same as a diesel generator set.
• Load acceptance is also as per the diesel engine, the control system is constantly monitoring engine parameters and will adjust the substitution rate to achieve optimum performance.

Fuel Cost Savings

• Can operate with up to 70% diesel substitution.
• No competitor system can match this while respecting Cat engine hardware limits.
• Significantly reduced operating costs, potentially saving $100/MWh.
• Fuel cost estimator tool will be available to calculate potential fuel savings based on specific applications, local fuel prices and site conditions.
• Working capital savings with 60 – 70% less reserve diesel on site.

Fuel Flexibility

• 100% Diesel or DGB/Bi-Fuel operation.
• Less susceptible to interruption of fuel supply.
• Less on site diesel storage capacity requirement.
• Additional flexibility for mobile units.
• Generator set can operate with 100% Diesel or in DGB mode (with a minimum of 30% diesel).
• Based on availability of fuel you can switch from 100% diesel to DGB mode and vice versa.
• Less storage capacity required on site for diesel fuel.
• Improved reliability of Standby / Emergency Applications by extending the run time without refuelling, and depending less on fuel delivery.

Factory Warranty and Service Intervals

• Cat DGB designed specifically to protect Cat Engines.
• Same warranty and service intervals as 3516B diesel generator sets.
• The DGB system protects the engine and the standard diesel generator set warranty applies.
• The diesel generator set service and overhaul intervals also apply to the DGB generator set.
