Renewable Fuels Policy
Cummins approves biodiesel B20 blends for use in its 2002 and later emissions-compliant ISX, ISM, ISL, ISC and ISB engines. This includes the recently released 2007 products as well as its Tier 3 emissions-compliant QSB4.5, QSB6.7, QSC, QSL, QSM and QSX engines.
New Engines
Cummins introduced the 6.7 L turbo diesel engine, used exclusively in Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty pickup trucks. The engine has increased displacement providing increased horsepower and torque while achieving the 2010 EPA N[O.sub.x] standard three years ahead of the requirements. Cummins thus is the first diesel engine manufacturer to have a product certified to the 2010 EPA heavy-duty engine standards for N[O.sub.x] and PM emissions.
Cummins MerCruiser Diesel extended its Quantum diesel technology across three new engine platforms. Suitable for sterndrive and inboard applications, the new QSD Series includes 2.0, 2.8 and 4.2 L engines in four- and six-cylinder configurations. This entirely new engine lineup will be EPA, RCD and IMO certified and available in ratings from 115 to 350 hp, the company said.
Also for marine use, Cummins MerCruiser Diesel introduced the QSC8.3, 600 hp marine engine. The engine has a larger turbocharger for increased airflow, a new fuel pump to handle higher fuel delivery, a new cylinder head gasket to improve cooling and a new piston design to handle the increased power density. Cummins said the new QSC8.3-600 is EPA Tier 2, IMO and RCD emissions certified.
Cummins introduced the QSK38 and QSK50 marine engines for propulsion and auxiliary applications. The engines are designed to meet 2007 U.S. EPA Tier 2 and European Union Stage 3a marine emissions regulations. The QSK38 has propulsion ratings from 1100 to 1700 bhp and auxiliary ratings from 1320 to 1400 bhp, while the QSK50 has propulsion ratings from 1600 to 2100 bhp and auxiliary ratings from 1730 to 1800 bhp.
For the compression markets, Cummins announced the production launch of the KTA38GC gas compression driver and a new KTA19GC 1200 rpm rating for the oil and gas market. The new KTA38GC is the next step on the horsepower ladder for Cummins in the gas compression market. The KTA38GC features ratings from 710 to 850 hp ranges in a simple lean-burn (SLB) configuration and ratings from 635 to 760 hp in a catalyst configuration. The SLB configuration is a 2.0 g N[O.sub.x] output capable engine.
The 1200 rpm rating for the KTA19GC, Cummins 19 L displacement, rich-burn engine designed for wellhead, gathering and related gas compression applications, is available in a catalyst configuration and also offers a shielded CSA ignition as an option. The KTA19GC produces 265 hp and 1160 lb.ft. at 1200 rpm.
Cummins announced that the QSK38 is in limited production and shipping to customers. Building on the V12, 38 L KV Series, Cummins QSK38 has added Cummins Quantum System electronics and modular common rail fuel system found on its Tier 2 QSK50 and QSK60 engines.
The QSK38 engine, rated 900 to 1500 hp, provides up to 4570 lb.ft. of torque at 1000 rpm. The QSK38 offers a high torque reserve with a torque rise of over 12%. The QSK38 shares 70% of its parts with the KV 38 L base engine.
Also new is the production launch of the 1.1 MW SCR Drill Module. The 1571 kVA/600 V power unit consists of a Cummins KTA50 engine, rated 1470 hp at 1200 rpm, which is integrated with a Cummins AVK DSG86L1-6 generator.
Engine Technology
Cummins announced the release of a 600 hp ISX on-highway diesel that develops 2050 lb.ft. of torque. The new rating is designed for heavy-haul customers, fleets and owner/operators in the trucking industry.
Cummins also released a 175 hp low emissions turbo diesel engine rating specifically developed for Dodge Ram trucks used for underground mining applications. The Cummins-powered Dodge Ram is produced in North America with an MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) approved engine for both coal and metal/nonmetal mining.
The low-emissions rating was achieved without any change of engine hardware from the standard 325 hp rated Dodge Ram diesel engine. By utilizing duty cycle feedback from Ram trucks operating underground, the engine was electronically remapped and recalibrated with a lower-emissions profile, while at the same time retaining a power delivery suited to mine speed limits and truck applications.
Cummins Tier 2 QSK60 high horsepower engine is now offered with ratings as high as 2700 hp for the first time ever in a single-stage turbocharger configuration. The single-stage QSK60 engine, rated 1782 to 2700 hp, provides up to 7839 lb.ft. of torque at 1500 rpm for applications such as mining excavators and haul trucks. The QSK60 shares 75% of its parts with the Tier 1 60 L base engine.
On the marine side, Cummins MerCruiser Diesel announced the uprate of the QSB5.9 engine series. The QSB is now available with ratings to 480 hp and is EPA Tier 2, IMO and RCD emissions certified, Cummins said.
Emissions Technology
The EPA certified the Cummins heavy-duty ISX and ISM and the midrange ISL, ISC and ISB engines for 2007. Full production began in January 2007. The engines use Cummins cooled EGR technology across the product line. Cummins added an integrated Cummins particulate filter and a crankcase ventilation system to the engines.
The line features fully integrated electronic controls, with a single electronic control module that controls the engine and aftertreatment. All engines will use the patented sliding-nozzle variable geometry turbocharger made by Cummins Turbo Technologies, which features an electric actuator for 2007 with faster response and improved precision in adjusting airflow to the engine.
The particulate filter, designed and manufactured by Cummins Emission Solutions, includes a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particulate filter to reduce particulate matter by 90%. The DOC optimizes the regeneration capability of the particulate filter. The crankcase ventilation system features the Fleetguard coalescing filter, which captures and filters crankcase emissions, and returns oil directly to the sump.
Cummins GTA8.3SLB gas compression driver now meets the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for stationary spark-ignited engines, the company said. The new GTA8.3SLB meets the NSPS standard more than six months ahead of the target promulgation date of Jan. 1, 2008, for engines in 25 to 500 hp power bands.
The 175 hp GTA8.3SLB features a simple lean-burn configuration that meets the 2.0 g N[O.sub.x], 4.0 g CO and 1.0 g non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) output-per-horsepower-hour EPA proposal. The engine also meets the Four Corners Bureau of Land Management 2.0 g N[O.sub.x] requirements.
Cummins said it was making significant progress toward meeting the 2011 EPA Tier 4 and EU Stage 3b emission regulations as development work has moved from test cell research to equipment level systems integration. The company said combustion simulation and prototype work began as early as 2005.
"Utilizing analysis-led design tools together with up to 100,000 test cell hours and 50,000 field test operating hours anticipated by program launch, we are confident in our ability to provide the best value integrated system to the off-road markets," said Ric Kleine, vice president of Cummins Off-Highway Business. "Cummins has invested significantly in a broad technology portfolio which extends from air-intake systems to exhaust aftertreatment, including high-pressure common rail fuel systems, controls and advanced turbocharging. This means we can fully integrate all the key sub-systems more effectively."
Kleine said that the 2011 standards would require the use of aftertreatment and "we are evaluating alternatives to minimize the impact on installation complexity for the equipment manufacturers. Because of our investment in all the critical technologies, we are able to leverage our vast experience in other markets where exhaust aftertreatment systems are already in production."
He cited Cummins' diesel particulate filter and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems as proven technologies capable of meeting 2011 off-road emission levels for engines above 100 hp, and added that installation and operational aspects of these systems are currently being evaluated for off-road applications. By 2008, Cummins will be in a position to identify which of these systems offer the best value and performance proposition for construction equipment customers, he said.
Corporate Developments
The Columbus Engine Plant, Columbus, Ind., has been selected as the production facility for Cummins' new family of light-duty diesel engines. The first vehicles with this engine are expected to be ready for market by the end of the decade. DaimlerChrysler will be the major customer for the engine, which will be designed to power vehicles below 8500 lb. GVW for a number of automotive applications.
A new technical center has been opened in China's Wuhan City. The East Asia Technical Center, a 55-45 joint venture between Cummins Inc. and Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company Ltd., (DCEC) will provide engineering and technical development services for the range of Cummins products built in China, including diesel and natural gas engines, power generators, turbochargers and filtration products.

New Engines
The latest developments from Deutz include a new water-cooled version of the 2011 Series in a four-cylinder configuration, in addition to the integrated or external oil-cooled versions for Tier 3 and interim Tier 4. The new water-cooled version will be available naturally aspirated, turbocharged and turbocharged with charge-air cooling. The engine will be equipped with a pump-line-nozzle injection system and mechanical engine governor. An electronic governor is available as an option.
The 2011 Series four-cylinder versions have a displacement of 3.62 L (bore 96 mm, stroke 125 mm) and a power output of 67 hp for the naturally aspirated engines at a maximum speed of 2600 rpm. The turbocharged model delivers 91 hp, and with the addition of a charge-air cooler, up to 99 hp. A maximum torque of 148 lb.ft. is achieved for the naturally aspirated engine (at 1700 rpm), 207 lb.ft. (at 1600 rpm) for the turbocharged and 258 lb.ft. (at 1600 rpm) with charge-air cooling. These new engines are compliant with EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage 3a emissions limits. Series production is expected in late 2007.
Deutz has also launched a new compact engine line, the Series 2010, composed of turbocharged, four-cylinder models with a displacement of 3.47 L (bore 96 mm, stroke 120 mm) specifically designed for construction equipment and agricultural machinery. These engines are available without charge-air cooling, with a maximum power output of 86 hp, and with charge-air cooling, with a maximum power output 99 hp (both based on a rated speed of 2600 rpm). The maximum torque is 221 and 258 lb.ft. at 1400 rpm respectively.
Engines in the new series operate with direct fuel injection and a mechanical governor; however, an electronic governor is an option. The engines comply with EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage 3a, and are already designed to fulfill the limits by EPA Tier 4 and EU Stage 3a. Series production is forecasted to start in the second half of 2008.
Deutz also began production of Tier 3 versions of the air-cooled 914 Series covering from 50 to 174.2 hp. These engines are offered in three-, four-, five- and six-cylinder, naturally aspirated versions and a turbocharged six-cylinder with charge-air cooling. All versions are mechanically injected with an externally cooled EGR system on naturally aspirated versions and internal EGR on the six-cylinder turbocharged model with charge-air cooling. All meet the EPA 3 and EU Stage 3a legislative requirements.
In its gaseous fuel range, Deutz developed a gas version based on the air-cooled diesel engines of the 913 Series, for continuous-duty operation between 25 and 120 hp. The engines can be operated with natural gas or propane. The new engines have a cylinder displacement of 1.02 L (102 mm x 125 mm bore and stroke) and are available in a naturally aspirated version with three-, four- and six-cylinder models (output/cylinder 14 hp), and a turbocharged six-cylinder version with charge-air cooler (output/cylinder 20 hp). The maximum speed is 2200 rpm.
In 2006, Deutz introduced the 1013 Series for marine applications, with four- and six-cylinder engines ranging in power between 90 and 250 hp at speeds between 1500 and 2300 rpm (bore 108 mm, stroke 130 mm, for a displacement of 4.76 to 7.15 L respectively). All models are equipped with exhaust turbocharger and can be supplied with charge-air cooling depending on the individual power requirement. The engines feature a high-pressure injection system with unit injection pumps. Engines can be equipped with double-walled injection lines on request.
Deutz also extended its 2013 engine Series with a new six-cylinder, four-valve model. The new 7.2 L engine (bore 108 mm, stroke 130 mm) features a Deutz common rail system and cooled EGR, with power ratings up to 326 hp at 2200 rpm speed, fulfilling Tier 3 emissions limits. The new engine reaches a maximum torque of 960 lb.ft. at 1450 rpm.
Emissions Technology
Deutz Variable Emission Reduction Technology (DVERT) is a modular system to reduce exhaust emissions and the noise of compact diesel engines up to 700 hp, in which modules and components can be combined for the optimal solution.
Deutz offers mechanical injection systems on diesel engines up to about 130 hp combined with internal of external uncontrolled EGR, without electronics. The integration with electronic capability can be achieved by adapting a Deutz electronic governor EMR.
In the engine range between 100 and 335 hp, Deutz offers its own common rail system, DCR, both in combination with controlled recirculation of cooled exhaust gas. Different degrees of system sophistication are available according to the specific applications. Cylinder heads with four-valve technology are also available for engines in this range. The design of engines with DCR makes them compatible with Deutz Level 2 engines with mechanical injection, the company added.
Above 350 hp, Deutz offers a combination of pump-line-nozzle system with a solenoid-controlled MVS injection valve. Cylinder heads with four-valve technology are standard in this power range. Engines featuring DCR or MVS in the upper power class can be integrated into the electronic machine management system.
With this approach, Deutz said its engines meet the current limits in Europe and U.S.A., and prepare to meet EPA Tier 4 and EU Stage 3b, where the same measures will be needed in combination with exhaust gas aftertreatment with particulate filters and catalytic N[O.sub.x] reduction systems.
Alternative Technologies
Deutz recently presented a project developed together with Weyhausen for a hybrid power unit for a wheel loader. The hybrid drive system consists of an engine, conventional drive elements, at least one electric power unit (motor-generator), power electronics and a heavy-duty battery. When operated as a motor, the electric unit withdraws energy from the battery and feeds it into the powertrain.
When operated as a generator, the electric unit withdraws power from the powertrain and recharges the battery. Thus, power peak demands can be covered by the battery and the combustion engine can be downsized and operated at its best operating point, resulting in a considerably improved efficiency of the complete equipment drive, Deutz said.
Deutz also completed testing engines that can be operated on rapeseed oil.
Corporate Developments
Deutz AG moved its corporate headquarters at the end of 2006 to Porz, a suburb of Cologne, Germany, where the main engine factory and engineering were already located.
Reinforcing its position on the Chinese market, Deutz signed a joint venture to manufacture and sell diesel engines together with FAW Jiefang Automotive Co. Ltd. Deutz will assume industrial leadership for the new company in Dalian, that will have an initial annual capacity of 50,000 engines.
Deutz built 240,000 engines in 2006 and forecasts an increase to approximately 280,000 units in 2007 (in 2005 the company sold about 200,000 engines).
Deutz Corp. formed a new Deutz Customer Service Group, which combines parts and engine sales administration, and adds purchasing and logistics. Further, the engine completion group and the Deutz Xchange remanufactured engines and parts operations now become part of the new group.
Monica Hill has been named director, customer support services; Juergen Poppelreuter, director, purchasing and logistics; and Carlos Uribe, engine completion manager.

Hatz has added two new models to its Challenger single-series diesel engine family. The 1B50, with 0.516 L displacement, is rated 11 hp and completes the upper end of the line. The new 1B27 meanwhile, fills a gap in the lower range, positioning itself between the 1B20 and 1B30 in terms of power output, with a standard rating of 5 hp at 3600 rpm.
Both new engines have the same dimensions as the other engines in the 1B family. Optional variants with vertical shafts are available and, while the 1B50 is offered only in the EPA version, the 1B27 is available in EPA and non-EPA versions.
Hatz has also launched a new concept study of the oil-cooled 1B engine family, saying that the main advantage of it is the possibility of total engine capsulation and thus very low noise emissions.
More information on the new 1B engines is available elsewhere in this issue.
Emissions
Hatz said that EPA Tier 4 and other worldwide emissions have been achieved for its current range of engines. The task has been achieved, the company said, by modifying or changing multiple components, including combustion chambers, pistons, valvetrain and fuel injection systems. A longer stroke has been engineered into some models and the four-cylinder L and M engine models are incorporating an EGR system, the company said.

Honda's freewatt Micro-sized Combined Heat and Power (Micro-CHP) system will now be initially available to homes in the Northeastern United States in conjunction with select utility providers. Honda said the system allows homeowners to reduce their utility bills as well as curb carbon dioxide emissions while improving overall energy efficiency and comfort. The system consists of a cogeneration unit that is paired with a furnace or boiler.
Developed by Honda Power Equipment and Climate Energy, the free-watt Micro-CHP system produces electric power that displaces electricity, which consumers would otherwise purchase from the local electric utility. By using electricity provided from the grid, it produces 30% less carbon dioxide emissions than a conventional heating system.
The freewatt system includes an electronically controlled, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, internal combustion engine running on natural gas. The engine was developed by Honda especially for this product.
Corporate Developments
Honda no longer utilizes gross horsepower ranges for its general-purpose engines. As of 2007, Honda only rates its general-purpose engines under the SAE J1349 standard. The actual power of Honda's general-purpose engines remains the same--the only change being made in 2007 and 2008 is the reduction in emissions to meet the new, lower California exhaust and evaporative emissions regulation.
Each Honda engine model is assigned a net power output tested on a production engine and measured in accordance with SAE J1349. Mass production engines may vary from this value. Actual power output for the engine installed in the final machine will vary depending on numerous factors, including the operating speed of the engine in application, environmental conditions, maintenance and other variables.

JCB has begun production of its common rail Tier 3 engine as annual volumes at the JCB Power Systems plant rise above the 30,000 level. The new JCB Dieselmax 444 engine in Tier 3 form--for use in JCB products and also those of external customers--will be available in ratings of 130 hp and 145 hp.
The engines feature electronically controlled, common rail fuel systems and will power the high-performance JCB Loadall models from its Landpower agricultural range and its midrange wheeled loading shovel models. The sub 100 hp Tier 3 engines are being finalized for production by the end of this year and will continue to utilize mechanical fuel systems, the company said.
JCB said that it built on the success of the JCB Dieselmax 444 platform, of which JCB has manufactured more than 40,000 units at the Tier 2 emissions level. That same platform was the basis of the JCB Dieselmax land-speed record project in which the Dieselmax car used two high-performance versions of the JCB engine to set a diesel record of 350 mph. JCB claimed this achievement gave it a "unique insight" into advanced diesel engineering technology and the capability of the JCB Dieselmax engine platform.
JCB Power Systems now produces 140 engines daily, supplying 50% of JCB's engine requirement with the engine powering backhoe loaders, Loadall telescopic handlers, midrange wheeled loading shovels, rough terrain forklifts, large skid-steer loader models and the JCB range of generators.
JCB sells engines to external customers via specialist dealers and direct to OEM customers. Engines are sold both as industrial power units and as dressed engines. JCB's first high-volume OEM account has been established with the engine now fitted to the Sellick range of rough terrain forklift trucks.

Biodiesel blend up to B5 (5% biodiesel mixed with regular petroleum diesel by volume) can be used in John Deere diesel engines, provided that the neat biodiesel or B100 meets ASTM D 6751 (U.S.A.) or EN 14214 (Europe) specifications. In March 2005, Deere initiated U.S. factory fill of self-propelled equipment with B2 biodiesel blend.
New Engines
By this summer, all of the John Deere Power Systems' (JDPS) PowerTech E engines will have gone into production. The PowerTech E 4.5 L and 6.8 L have been in production since summer 2006 and PowerTech E 2.4 L and 3.0 L will go into full production this summer.
The PowerTech E diesels cover a range of outputs from 60 to 200 hp over the four displacements. All four models are built at Deere's Torreon, Mexico, operations, with the 4.5 L and 6.8 L models also built in Saran, France.
Compared to their Tier 2/Stage 2 counterparts, the PowerTech E line has the same or higher peak torque, more low-speed torque, better transient response time and excellent fuel economy, Deere said. Full-authority electronic controls also enable the engines to offer improved cold-start performance, precise engine speed control, torque curve shaping and more. Deere added that electronic controls increase productivity, lower total installed costs and reduce ownership costs.
In addition, Deere said initial results indicate that PowerTech E engines are as fuel efficient as their Tier 2/Stage 2 counterparts and, in some cases, use less fuel than many other Tier 3/Stage 3a engines.
Deere said one of the key aspects of the PowerTech E lineup is the fact that it brings the benefits of electronics to engines that are less than 100 hp. With its Tier 2 lineup, electronic options for John Deere engines went down to 110 hp, but with Tier 3, John Deere customers can get electronically controlled engines down to 60 hp.
Various technologies have been utilized to meet the Tier 3/Stage 3a performance goals with PowerTech E engines. The engines have a two-valve cylinder head, are turbocharged or air-to-air intercooled and incorporate a high-pressure common rail fuel system (4.5 L and 6.8 L engines) or an electronic unit pump fuel system (2.4 L and 3.0 L engines), full authority electronic controls, multiple injection strategy and a fixed geometry turbocharger.
In the under 75 hp segment, four ratings of the PowerTech M 2.4 L engine are Interim Tier 4 ready and four new ratings of the PowerTech E 2.4 L engine and one new rating of the PowerTech E 3.0 L are Interim Tier 4 ready.
John Deere Power Systems has also introduced two diesel engines certified by the U.S. Mine and Health Safety Administration (MSHA) for the underground mining market. The Deere PowerTech 2.4 L and 3.0 L diesel engines received MSHA certification in late 2006.
The MSHA certification allows JDPS to introduce these engine models in 2007 for a variety of underground mining equipment such as personnel carriers, lube centers, utility vehicles, pumps and compressors. JDPS also offers a variety of transmission interfaces. The 2.4 L engine is a four-cylinder model with a power range of 49 to 66 hp, while the 3.0 L engine is a five-cylinder design with outputs from 75 to 83 hp.
JDPS also unveiled a new lineup of engines for generator sets from 30 to 450 kVA. These engines meet the Stage 2 emissions standards. The range includes engines for prime and standby generator-drive engines from 21 to 460 kW, available in 2.4 L to 13.5 L engine displacements.
Emissions Technology
JDPS said it will leverage the technology developed to meet Tier 3/Stage 3a emissions as the basis for meeting future emissions regulations. John Deere is exploring various technology options, including advanced in-cylinder and aftertreatment solutions.
"With some of our PowerTech M and PowerTech E engines below 75 hp, we chose to go straight from Tier 2 to Interim Tier 4," said Gita Rao, product manager of strategy and long-term planning for JDPS. "Because our 2.4 L engines have demonstrated Interim Tier 4 and Stage 3a capabilities, we've met our 2008 deadline.
"We have narrowed down the technologies we are exploring for Tier 4, but have not yet settled on the solution that will be right for our customers and us," added Rao. "For Tier 4, we are planning to continue with the multiple-platform option. We're trying to include many potential solutions for Tier 4."
JDPS is also optimizing the combustion system for reduced emissions. This includes the use of multiple injections, increased fuel injection pressure, modified combustion bowl and fuel injector geometry. JDPS is reviewing a number of aftertreatment technologies, including diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems. John Deere is also working on N[O.sub.x] adsorbers, lean NOx catalysts and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) solutions. Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) continues to be explored as an alternative solution.
JDPS also said it is taking an integrated approach to clean air, engine performance and fuel efficiency. "Through our wholly owned electronic controls and drivetrain component divisions, we have a wealth of non-road experience in integration. Being able to integrate engines, drivetrain components and electronics is even more important today with increasingly demanding nonroad emissions regulations," the company said.

To meet the demands for more power in larger ZTR riding mowers and other equipment, Kawasaki has expanded its V-Twin engine lineup. The FX921V and the FX1000V engines are compact, 90[degrees] V-Twins with a displacement of 999 cc, making them the largest vertical shaft engines in the air-cooled FX engine range.
The new FX921V and FX1000V engines feature hemispherical combustion chambers and three valves per cylinder, along with Kawasaki's advanced overhead v-valve technology that is designed to provide low emissions, high power and smooth operation.
The engines have twin barrel, internally vented carburetors with fuel shut-off solenoids and large capacity fuel pumps. Other standard features include cast-iron cylinder liners, forged crankshafts, high-performance oil coolers, a large cooling fan, a combined crankcase design and a high-density canister air filter.
Kawasaki has also announced an updated version of the FJ180V engine introduced three years ago. The FJ180V-KAI engine is a 179 cc, overhead valve engine used by OEMs for 21 in. commercial walk-behind mowers and other turf and industrial applications.
The new and improved FJ180V-KAI now features a cylindrical, dual-stage air cleaner. The fan housing is now metal instead of plastic. Internally, a ball bearing has been added to the magneto-side of the crankshaft. Extra bolts have been added to the crankcase cover and the steel engine housing. The recoil is now reinforced.
Other standard features of the FJ180V-KAI include a forced lubrication system with a redesigned oil pump; electronic spark ignition; automatic compression release; dual-element air cleaner; rotating grass screen; internally vented carburetor; cast-iron cylinder liner and chrome-plated piston rings; and a large sealed fan.
New Engine Applications
Kawasaki said its FJ400D engine, used in utility vehicle applications, is now available as a stand-alone engine for use in generators and other construction equipment.
Manufactured by Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing Corp., Maryville, Mo., the FJ400D is a 401 cc, air-cooled, four-cycle, horizontal shaft engine. The engine incorporates Kawasaki's overhead v-valve technology, with pressurized lubrication and electronic spark ignition.
Other standard features include a precision mechanical governor; cast-iron cylinder liner; second shaft rotating balancer; hemispherical combustion chamber; internally vented carburetor; and 12V/13 amp charging system.
New Engine Technology
Kawasaki has increased the bore size of its FH770D-KAI horizontal shaft engine. The new 80 mm bore has increased the overall displacement of the engine to 772 cc, which has resulted in a boost to 28 hp.
Other enhancements included an internally vented carburetor, improved lubrication delivery system and radiator-style heat exchanger oil cooler. The result is increased performance in a compact, durable package, the company said.

Corporate Developments
Kohler Co.'s Global Power Group announced in early May that it had entered into an agreement to purchase Lombardini Srl from Mark IV Luxembourg S.A.R.L., a subsidiary of Mark IV Industries Inc. Financial terms were not disclosed and, pending relevant regulatory approval, the acquisition is expected to be completed this summer.
Kohler's acquisition of Lombardini "will provide a strong complement to our existing Engine Business by adding a complete diesel engine line to serve the needs of our commercial and consumer customers worldwide," said Dick Fotsch, Global Power Group president.
Kohler engine division manufactures air- and liquid-cooled, four-cycle gasoline engines in the 4.0 to 38 hp range. The company manufactures its engines from three North American facilities and one joint venture facility in China, also announced in May.
The 85-year-old Lombardini, headquartered in Reggio Emilia, Italy, manufactures small diesel, gas and gasoline engines from 3.0 to 72 hp.
The acquisition will also provide Kohler with an expanded geographical presence in the European and North African markets. "Lombardini is a strong geographic complement to our Engine Business and we're pleased to add contemporary diesel technology to our product offering," said Fotsch.
Kohler Co. also created a joint venture company with YinXiang Ltd., for the development, manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of general-purpose gasoline engines. The joint venture, Kohler-YinXiang Ltd, based in Chongqing, China, will provide Kohler an increased global presence in the worldwide small gasoline engine market and establishes a new cost-effective manufacturing location to support the Kohler engine business.
"Kohler has been seeking a strategic partner over the last two years to help us grow our presence in the small engine market and enhance our product offerings," said Paul Bartelt, president, Kohler Engines. "We are confident that in YinXiang, we have found a very capable partner that is strongly aligned with our strategic objectives. The joint venture, which will focus on engines, is a key element in our strategy to better meet our customers' needs."
New Engines
Kohler has gone into production with the largest and most powerful air-cooled gasoline engines in the company's history, the new Command Pro 34, 36 and 38 hp V-Twin engines. The new engines, available in horizontal and vertical shaft configurations, target a range of commercial and industrial applications, including turf mowers, generators and pumps, etc., and meet EPA and CARB emissions standards, the company said.
The engines are 90[degrees] twin-cylinder, overhead valve designs with electronic ignition, two-barrel carburetors and mechanical governors. The design features an aluminum block with cast-iron cylinder liners and the engines have displacements of 999 cc on a bore and stroke of 83 mm x 69 mm and a dry weight of 130 lb.
Among the most noteworthy features are the specially designed oil and air filter systems, which have been engineered to enhance serviceability. The top access oil filter is a Kohler patented design in which the spin-on oil filter canister is mounted in an inverted position between the cylinders. The filter system is designed to ensure that oil in the filter is allowed to drain out as completely as possible before the filter is actually separated from the filter base. The combination of the top access filter and larger oil drain ports allows oil changes to be done more quickly, the company said.
Kohler also designed its own two-stage, heavy-duty air cleaner system, which is also top mounted. The filter system is joined directly to the intake manifold with just one gasketed joint as the interface between the filter and engine. This eliminates the hose connections commonly seen on many engine designs, Kohler said.
The hydraulic valve lifters, which have been used on Kohler engines since the late 1980s, are also a key service feature, as they eliminate the need for valve adjustments over the life of the engine.
Alternative Fuels
Kohler said that it plans to offer gasified versions of its new Command Pro engines that can operate on liquid propane or natural gas later this year.

New Engines & Emissions Technology
Kubota unveiled its above 50 hp lineup at the 2007 World of Concrete Show in Las Vegas, Nev.; American Rental Association in Atlanta, Ga.; and Bauma 2007 in Germany. Kubota's lineup for the January 2008 EPA tier change ranges from 13.3 to 99.2 hp.
These new emissions tier level engines will be supplied beginning in January 2008. The engines include 23 basic models of five engine series: Super Mini, 05, 03M, V3 and the newly introduced Kubota 07 Series.
Kubota's 07 Series is a new addition to the engine lineup. Kubota's unique cylinder block design allows for a larger displacement within the current 2.4 L compact engine package. The Kubota 07 Series engines offer up to 100% power take-off (PTO) from a geartrain located on the flywheel side designed for compact positioning of PTO hydraulic devices. It is possible to install up to three hydraulic pumps with different capacities.
By further enhancement of Kubota's original E-TVCS combustion system, Kubota has achieved clearing these strict regulations without adopting external devices for the under-50 hp class and for the above-50 hp engines (V2403MT and the V3600 natural and turbo). In order to lower particulate matter, Kubota has optimized the recess shape of both the swirl chamber and piston crown.
By complying with the EPA/EC emissions regulations without external devices on the below-50 hp and on three models above 50 hp, Kubota has minimized the impact to customers when shifting from the current to the next tier regulation. In addition, to lower particulate matter caused by lubricant oil burning, Kubota has adopted plateau honing on cylinder liners in all series to stabilize and reduce oil consumption.
For turbocharged engines, to reduce smoke at free acceleration, Kubota has adopted a boost compensator as standard. For the regulation on and after Tier 4, where intake air circulation of blow-by gas is required even for turbocharged engines, Kubota has adopted a closed breather system for turbocharged engines.
The D1105 and V1505 models of the 05 Series are capable of meeting requirements of generator applications in addition to industrial applications. Kubota will increase the rated rpm capability from 3000 rpm to 3600 rpm for these two models.
Kubota's above-50 hp engine range and below-100 hp range include the following new and advanced models to clear the EPA and EC 2008 regulations: the model V2403-M-T-E3B with no EGR and a rating of 59 hp at 2700 rpm and the V3600-E3B/V3600-E3BT with no EGR and ratings of 66.8 hp at 2600 rpm/84.5 hp at 2600 rpm.
The V3007-DI-T-E3B/V3307-DI-TE3B engines' uniquely designed gear case with 100% side PTO capability with mechanical governor is rated 65 hp at 2600 rpm/74.3 at 2600 rpm, while the V3800DI-T-E3B with mechanical EGR has an output of 99.2 hp at 2600 rpm.
Dual Fuel: There are a variety of advancements and changes in this engine series. To fully inform its customers of these modifications the company will have a separate announcement later this year.
Parts, Service, Warranty
Kubota has added two new distributors to its expansive network in Central America and South America. The companies are Righttrack Equipos y Soluciones, Quayaquil, Ecuador; and Taller Mecanico Industrial Paris, Caracas, Venezuela.
Corporate Developments
Kubota Japan investments have been ongoing to further enhance Kubota's production capability to serve the growing market for compact high-density engines. Kubota's investments will continue for several years in the areas of production and emissions compliance. Kubota Japan has positioned itself for the growing engine demand and future EPA, EC and global emissions requirements.

Diesel: 2.0 to 350 hp
New Engines
Lister Petter, until recently, was only known for engines below 60 hp. Now that has dramatically changed. Lister Petter has expanded its range with three new engine families known as Zeta, Sigma and Omega. This takes Lister Petter's power range from 2.0 hp to 350 hp--a sixfold increase.
Omega is now the company's most powerful engine family and was launched in January 2007. The Omega series consists of four- and six-cylinder models from 80 to 350 hp. The six-cylinder engines have a displacement of 9.7 L and the four-cylinder engines have a displacement of 6.5 L. Both come in turbocharged or turbocharged/intercooled versions.
In addition to its Omega engines, the company simultaneously launched its Omega range of open generating sets. A new assembly plant is now being constructed to cope with the demand.
The Sigma engine range is from 24 to 110 hp. With a maximum operating speed of 4100 rpm, all the engines are inline, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled designs. The 2.4 L engine is available in naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions. The larger 2.6 L engine is common rail.
The Zeta Series comprises three single-cylinder models ranging from 2.5 to 13.3 hp. Two of the Zeta Series engines are air-cooled, with one water-cooled model.
Emissions Technology
Lister Petter has developed and put into full production, emissions-controlled Tier 2 certified and Tier 4 capable (Euro Stage 3) Alpha Series engines. The Alpha Series is a family of emissions-compliant liquid-cooled fixed or variable speed engines from 9 to 54 hp. The indirect injection engines are available in naturally aspirated two-, three- and four-cylinder and four-cylinder turbocharged versions. Maximum speed is 3000 rpm with peak torque at 2000 rpm.
Lister Petter said the Alpha series meets the Ministry of Environment and Forests of the Government of India emissions standards for generating sets, standards it said are more stringent than those in either the U.S.A, or Europe.
In response to the need for sustainable carbon-neutral fuels, the company has launched a biodiesel reactor that will convert raw vegetable oil into biodiesel. Furthermore, the Alpha engines have been operating successfully on straight vegetable oil without modification and without loss of power while meeting the emissions standards.
The Alpha LPWG Series of gaseous-fueled, spark-ignited engines has had a fuel and ignition system update. The new closed-loop ECU-controlled system enables the units to meet upcoming changes in the emissions regulations with the added advantage that changeover from natural gas to propane vapor fuels can easily be done in the field. Currently designed for fixed-speed applications such as electrical power generation, a variable speed version will be introduced later in the year.
The new Sigma and Omega series engines are well under way with emissions certification for both Europe and the U.S. Several variations of these engines are expected to be available later this year with emissions certification.
Corporate Developments
Lister Petter is increasing its component manufacturing and assembly capacity worldwide. Also, 2006 has seen the introduction of new engine assembly in India and the U.S., a joint-venture in Poland for engine assembly and a new engine and generating set operation in China.
The remanufacturing business has seen considerable growth, the expansion of the U.S. activity, new U.K. premises and a 400,000 sq.ft., $30 million facility in Jinan, China. This plant is equipped to machine major components, remanufacture diesel engines and, in addition, has an assembly capacity for 100,000 Alpha models. Technology partnerships with two nanosurface metallurgy R&D centers has also been undertaken, the company said.
In addition, a marketing center has been set up in the United Kingdom to research market needs and identify new customers for new and existing distributors.

Perkins announced the use of B20 biodiesel across its range of 400D and 1100D Tier 3/Stage 3a compliant engines. Engines compliant with B20 will gradually be released during 2007 beginning with the 400D in April and 1100D in May. Subsequent models will be unveiled throughout the course of the year.
New Engines
The Perkins 1100D ElectropaK range completes the company's single platform approach to engine manufacturing--the provision of a family of three- and four-cylinder engines.
The "A'" range has been developed specifically to serve the electric power markets in the developing world and other unregulated territories. For these markets the development emphasis moves away from emissions levels and focuses on optimizing power output and performance characteristics. In particular, the 1103A-33TG2 is one of a family of five different models and forms the centerpiece of a range spanning 20 to 88 kVA.
The new three-cylinder model 1103D-33T marks the completion of the 1100 Series and offers customers a full range of Tier 3 engines spanning 50 to 250 hp.
This model is accompanied by two other variants--a naturally aspirated model and a turbo air-to-air charge-cooled version offering a choice of outputs from 53 hp for the naturally aspirated model through to 80 hp for the 1103D-33TA unit.
This six-cylinder unit delivers up to 250 hp, over 770 lb.ft. of torque and promises improved performance all around, including a 43% increase in power over the Tier 2/Stage 2 product, Perkins said. Available torque has been increased 51% thanks largely to its displacement of 6.6 L, new high-pressure common rail fuel system, reworked turbocharger geometry and refinements to the manifold and combustion areas.
Engine noise levels have been reduced by up to 5 dB(A), giving a smooth noise signature across the speed range, Perkins said. At full load the 1106D-E66TA operates at under 90 dB(A).
Parts, Service, Warranty
A new extended service contract scheme for engine users has been launched. It can be purchased by existing and new owners of Perkins engines through the Perkins Distribution Network. The contract covers the cost of defective replacement engine parts, labor and travel time.

Engine Power Range
Diesel: 85 to 250 hp
Engine Technology
One of Steyr's model 94 monoblock 86 hp marine diesel engine's strongest suits is its quiet operation, for small pleasure craft and auxiliary sailboat power. Steyr said that throughout its operating range, the engine produces less noise than a gasoline engines. To minimize cabin noise, elastic separation is used to isolate the monoblock from the cast-aluminum engine housing. This reduces any engine-related vibration that might be transmitted to the hull.
Steyr's patented, two-stage unit injector fuel injection technology provides acceleration with minimal smoke, even under heavy load. It also allows the engine to conform to BSO II, SAV 2 and the new Tier 2 emissions regulations. The 2.1 L Steyr 94 features a block and cylinder head made of cast-iron alloy. The forged, chrome/ moly crankshaft is dynamically balanced and the pistons are cast from high-silicone aluminum. Freshwater cooling is used to maintain proper exhaust manifold temperature, and seawater cools the exhaust elbow. The engine itself features a closed, freshwater cooling system, and the heat exchanger with its integrated expansion tank system even has a connection for a cabin heating system.
Steyr has introduced an integrated flywheel generator (IFG) designed to provide sufficient power for most onboard electrical equipment. Developed through Steyr's experience in hybrid and diesel-electric powertrain applications, the IFG can produce up to 300 amps of dc power, or it can supply continuous charging for a bank of four, high-capacity 85-amp-hour batteries to supply 12 Vdc power when the engine is not running. Operating temperature of the IFG is easily maintained via a direct connection to the engine's cooling system.
To maintain the proper output level, Steyr's charge control unit (CCU), monitors the load on the flywheel generator at all times and makes any adjustments automatically. Operation and status of the CCU is available from a panel-mounted switch, which can be located anywhere on the boat. The entire IFG system, including battery bank, is completely isolated from the engine's normal charging system and starting battery.
The integrated flywheel generator is available on Steyr marine diesel engines from 85 to 250 hp.
Corporate Developments
Indmar Products Co. and Steyr Motors have signed a multiyear agreement that will add one of Steyr's diesel engines to Indmar's engine line. The agreement calls for Indmar to purchase, brand and sell Steyr's 250 hp, model MO256H45 engine as the Indmar 256 Marine Diesel by Steyr. Indmar will warranty the engine and service it though its dealer network. Indmar will initially target the ski boat market.

Emissions
In response to California Air Resources Board standards that limit fuel hose vapor permeation to 15 g/[m.sup.2]/day, Subaru has updated the hoses on all engines--not just those in California--to meet that criterion. Additionally, Subaru engines meet all CARB Tier 3 regulations for lower exhaust emissions and evaporative fuel emissions.
New Products
This year, Subaru has added to its lines of centrifugal, high-pressure, semi-trash and trash pumps with the PTX301D diaphragm pump. The self-priming PTX301D offers 3 in. suction and discharge ports and pumps up to 250 gpm at a maximum pressure of 21 psi. It also boasts a maximum suction lift of 25 ft. and a maximum lift head of 49 ft.
Suburu pumps and generators are now also available in diesel models, using four-cycle, single-cylinder Hatz engines. The PTD310T trash pump features a 3 in. discharge port and a maximum capacity of 317 gpm. It is powered by a 6.8 hp diesel engine. The larger PTD410T uses the 9.9 hp engine and offers a 449 gpm maximum capacity and a 4 in. discharge port. The RGD3300H diesel generator uses a 6.8 hp engine with a rated output of 3000 W, while the larger RGD5000H generator uses a 9.9 hp engine with a rated output of 5000 W.

New Products
Waukesha now offers power generation units for the 1 MW to 3 MW range in 50 and 60 Hz configurations for the world power generation market. With two-stage intercooling design to maximize total heat recovery and lower overall energy costs, the new APG Series is targeted for combined heat and power (CHP) applications.
The APG1000 Enginator gen-set is a 1 MW unit that extends Waukesha's high-speed product offering into the 800 to 1100 kW range. The APG1000 is a 16-cylinder, turbocharged, inter-cooled, lean combustion power generation unit that features ultra-low N[O.sub.x] capability and patented ignition system and combustion chamber concepts. It is rated 1000 kW at 50 Hz and 1100 kW at 60 Hz at 1500 and 1800 rpm, respectively. The efficiency for the 1 MW units at 1800 rpm are 42% brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and is among the lower in lean-burn emissions (500 mg/n[m.sup.3]-hr N[O.sub.x]).
The APG2000 and APG3000 models are turbocharged, intercooled, lean combustion units with an efficiency of 42.5% BTE and low emissions (T/A Luft capability). The APG2000 is a 12-cylinder unit rated 2100 kW at 50 Hz and 1860 kW at 60 Hz, at 1500 and 1200 rpm, respectively. The APG3000 is an 18-cylinder model rated 3200 kW at 50 Hz and 2800 kW at 60 Hz, at 1500 and 1200 rpm, respectively.
The design of both the APG2000 and APG3000 allows for excellent transient load capability--the ability to handle rapid increases in load demand, Waukesha said. This rapid response is made possible by the engines' multipoint fuel injection system, which is designed to operate in conjunction with Waukesha's engine control system.
In addition to the Enginator gen-set configurations, all three models of the APG Series will be available in engine-only versions--the 16V150LTD rated at 1350 to 1530 bhp; the 12V220GL rated at 2625 to 2950 bhp, and the 18V220GL rated at 3922 to 4425 bhp. The APG1000 and the 16V150LTD became available for shipment in September 2006; and the APG2000 and 3000 Enginators will ship begin shipping in 2007 and engine-only versions will be available in 2008.
