Products FREE INFO: WRITE 101A 14.4-MW Engine from Caterpillar Caterpillar Power Generation Systems (CPGS) offers the 16CM43, the most efficient 16-cylinder engine in its class. Generating up to 14.4 MW of power, the 16CM43 features an advanced design that results in a long operating life, simplified maintenance, high efficiency, and low emissions. With increased power density and high reliability, the fuel-flexible 16CM43 is ideal for prime, standby, distributed generation, and peaking. Easy to maintain with integrated subsystems that reduce sealing surfaces, the 16CM43 features a longstroke design that operates at lower engine speeds. As a result, component life is increased, while maintenance costs are decreased. The 16CM43 also offers low operational costs with the lowest brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) in its reduced lube-oil consumption and greater time between overhaul (TBO). http://go.cateps.com/cpgs FREE INFO: WRITE 102A Extended Raised Floor Grommet Next-Generation from UpSite Upsite Technologies, Inc., released the nextgeneration KoldLok Extended Raised Floor Grommets (items 10012 and 10013). Upsite has significantly improved the features and capabilities of the existing KoldLok Extended Raised Floor Grommets line with no increase in price. Re-engineered to offer even greater modularity, Upsite’s 3-in./76-mm and 6-in./152mm customizable Grommets can seal raisedfloor tiles that measure either 24 in. or 600 mm long. With the new screw-hole design featured on the end caps and flange, more filaments can be exposed, which improves the sealing effectiveness. In addition, Upsite’s state-of-theart KoldLok product now incorporates a PC/ ABS plastic end cap, and the flange width has been reduced from 3 in. to 2 in. Both enhancements make the product lighter and easier to handle. upsitetechnologies.com FREE INFO: WRITE 103A Underfloor Cable Routing System from Panduit Panduit introduced the GridRunner Underfloor Cable Routing System, a modular wire basket pathway designed to route and manage data and power cabling beneath raised floors for maximum network performance. Preassembled mounting brackets and innovative drop-in wire basket sections eliminate the need for cutting and assemble quickly for faster deployment and reduced installation cost. The all-rounded edges and bend radius control corners prevent damage to cables, improving network reliability. An integral bonding feature ensures that all system components are electrically bonded to each other during installation providing full continuity for improved electrical protection. The wire basket design limits airflow obstructions that affect data center cooling. www.panduit. com/gr28 FREE INFO: WRITE 104A Gen-Set Engines from John Deere John Deere Power Systems introduced three engines for use in gen-set applications. The PowerTech E 9.0L and PowerTech 9.0L and 13.5L engines offer gen-set customers more powerful, cost-effective solutions. These compact, powerful engines are specifically targeted for the standby gen-set market, but they will also be offered to the primepower gen-set market. The PowerTech E 9.0L engine meets Tier 3 emissions regulations and has a maximum power rating of 315 kW (422 hp). www.JohnDeere.com/jdpower FREE INFO: WRITE 105A UPS from GE The high-performance Digital Energy LP-33U Series 10-60 kVA Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) from GE Consumer & Industrial’s Power Quality business delivers reliable power protection, an industry-leading 97 percent system efficiency and proven Redundant Parallel Architecture (RPA) to owners and operators of e-commerce applications, mobile networks, corporate internet sites, medical equipment, banking systems, ePay, and networked IT structures. Available in 10-60 kVA, the Digital Energy LP-33U Series’ “transformerless” design and compact footprint create less weight, better efficiency, easy front service access, and low audible noise, making it suitable for both office and industrial environments. www.geconsumerproducts.com FREE INFO: WRITE 106A Gen Set from Generac Generac Power Systems has announced the release of its new and more powerful Gemini Twin Pack gen set with a rating of 1000 kW. Using Generac’s onboard paralleling technology, Gemini’s power is produced by two 500-kW gen sets operating within a single, sound-attenuated enclosure. The new model takes the place of the 600 and 750-kW Gemini gen sets that were introduced in 2002. The Gemini Twin Pack gen set is well suited to a wide variety of applications, including hospitals, airports, office buildings, manufacturing plants, data centers, and retail superstores. The Gemini platform is powered by a pair of 16-l Volvo six cylinder in-line Tier II diesel engines (compliant through January 2011), each one powering a 500-kW alternator at 1800 rpm. www.generac.com/Products/Industrial/ Gemini/Gemini.aspx. 70 | Mission Critical Winter 2008 http://go.cateps.com/cpgs http://www.panduit.com/gr28 http://upsitetechnologies.com http://www.JohnDeere.com/jdpower http://www.geconsumerproducts.com http://www.generac.com/Products/Industrial/Gemini/Gemini.aspx
