30 years experience and the condition of vertical integration manufacturer have made the multinational company a worldwide benchmark among manufacturers of generating sets.
HIMOINSA has launched a new 500kW power generator in a 10-foot container. Originally designed for and launched in the North American market its success motivated the HIMOINSA engineering team to work on its adaptation to be presented in the European market.
500kW in 10 feet, with 50kW power/foot, a considerable power density which allows extreme optimisation of logistics and unit handling. The set is prepared to be synchronised and give extra power, always in ISO sizes of 20' for 1000kw, 30' for 1500kw, 40' for 2000kw, etc.
The objective behind designing the Power Cube Generation was to achieve a compact machine that can be easily transported; this is of great value in the rental sector, where the work tools are constantly changing according to the project needs.
If we analyse the standard measurements of all the 500kw generators in the market, we notice the following: (Length X Width X Height) 5 m X 2 m X 2.3 m = 23 m3. However, Power Cube has reduced its size by 35% in cubic metres and by 50% in body length, with regards to the standard measurements of the rest of generators with these characteristics in the market. Its dimensions are 2.991 m X 2.43 m X 2.59 m= 18.81 m3.
The smaller size has been achieved with a V engine and a remote refrigeration system has been designed on top of the engine compartment; its length can be shortened by up to 3 m.
The Power Cube Generator is robust and easy to transport, using a 10 ft container with a connection system that enables shipping of 2 units with just one standard 20 ft container.
For this, the machine has been provided with a control unit that enables up to 32 units to be connected in parallel, enabling a rental company to be able to undertake projects from 500kw to 16MW with a single machine model.
Another of the features that enhance the versatility of the Power Cube Generator is its ability to offer a dual frequency, since the machine itself can work both at 50 Hz and at 60 Hz. This dual frequency feature is ideal for its application in an IPP (Interim Power Plant), for rental, in mining, construction, quarries and ports.
