New Perkins® 5016 Completes the 5000 Series Range

 

 

 

Perkins’ new 5016 full-authority electronic engine for power generation is in production. Manufactured in Stafford, UK and Aurangabad, India, the full range of 6-, 8-, 12-and 16-cylinder 5000 Series engines, is delivering up to 2500 kVA of standby power and up to 2250 kVA of prime power for customers around the world.

The 5016 delivers a powerful 1400-2500 kVA range at 50 Hz for base load, prime and standby applications. As with all engines in the 5000 Series range, the 61-l V16 engine has been designed specifically for power generation. The 5016 is engineered to offer reliable power across a wide range of electric power applications including critical power for data centres, hospitals and remote worksites, where uptime matters.

Engineered to meet ISO G3 and NFPA110 standards to handle demanding load acceptance challenges, the 5016 uses a pair of smaller turbochargers on each bank, which are designed to reduce transient response time when compared with a single large unit. Its exhaust manifolds are engineered to optimise gas flow to the turbochargers, further reducing ramp-up time and enhancing load acceptance.

The 5016 60 Hz configuration meets the U.S. EPA Tier 2 Emergency Stationary emission standard. The 50 Hz version is available in fuel-optimised configurations designed to emit at levels equivalent to Tier 2. The engine also incorporates a unique low-pressure fuel system developed specifically for the 5000 Series enabling operation on biodiesel blends up to B20 or 100% HVO1.

Equipped with the latest technology to operate at peak efficiency over its full rated output range, the 5016 has been designed as a compact package, making it an ideal choice for space-limited applications.

“With the 5016 in production, we have a comprehensive range of full-authority electronic engines, delivering up to 2500 kVA, available to power our customers’ prime and critical standby applications,” said Dan Bentley, EAME sales director at Perkins.
