Detroit Diesel Announces Two New Genset Engines Detroit Diesel Corporation an- nounced two new engines for pow- ering generator sets up to 1,000 kWe and 2,000 kWe at 60 Hz standby rating. The 24V-71TA, available imme- diately, is a mechanically-injected, modular unit utilizing Detroit Die- sel Electronic Controls (DDEC) tech- nology, which offers unaided start- ing at reduced temperatures; inte- gral engine protection; simplified engine diagnostics; assistance in the combustion process; and reduced emissions. The engine is rated for standby power sets of 900 and 1,000 kWe at 60 Hz and for prime power sets of up to 1,000 JVA at 50 Hz. Detroit Diesel also introduced an electronically-controlled 20V- 149TIB engine, which incorporates the DDEC system as a standard feature, for genset applications. A 2,550-bhp version, suitable for 1,750 kWe standby use at 60 Hz, is avail- able. A2,925-bhp version, for 2,000- kWe standby application at 60 Hz, will be available in mid-1995. Both engines utilize a modular assembly concept, which offers the benefits of proven components; in- terchangeable common parts with other engine configurations of the same series; the ability to use exist- ing tools and expertise to maintain the engine; and lower rebuild costs at time of overhaul.
