MINNEAPOLIS, MN - A new Rental Power unit from Cummins Power Generation Inc. provides versatility in a complete pre-integrated system with increased fuel capacity and better fuel economy than other models.

The 1500 kW Rental Power unit adds to the Cummins Power Generation portfolio of Rental Power systems from 35 kW to 2 MW for prime, emergency, standby, peak shaving and distributed generation applications.

Some of the new product's key benefits include:
Climate tolerance. A temperature-tolerant cooling system provides reliable operation in ambient temperatures to 113 degrees F (45 degrees C), enabling the generator set to operate at maximum load without derating in a range of demanding climates.

Fuel capacity. The large fuel tank, ideal in remote locations, is designed to hold approximately 1,600 gallons of fuel for a run time of 22 hours at prime power (75 percent load) before refueling. That translates to fewer refueling trips, lower operating costs and a smaller carbon footprint.

Environmental responsibility. The new Rental Power unit meets Tier 2 emission requirements and can be fueled with B20 biodiesel fuel. For operation in environmentally sensitive areas, the unit protects against fuel spills with a dual-wall fuel tank and 110 percent engine compartment fluid containment.
