MC (Ghaddar Machinery Co) has supplied a 1,000 kVA diesel generator with Cummins engine and Nidec alternator to a bitumen factory based in Karbala, Iraq.
This new deal has meant that Ghaddar Machinery’s Iraq Branch has effectively expanded the power station capabilities of the Bitumen factory in Karbala province.
Based on the excellent performance over the past two years of the two Ghaddar Generators 1000 KVA each powered by Cummins Engine KTA38-G5 and Leroy Somer Alternator TAL049E, an expansion of the power station was requested, and an additional unit was added to bring the total capacity of the station to 3000 KVA. The 3 Generators are operating in synchronization to power the factory.
The latest KTA range from GMC is a jacket water aftercooled design. Its inbuilt step timing control system ensures optimum engine timing at all combinations of load and ambient temperature, improving cold starting and reducing light load fuel consumption to greatly enhance engine efficiency, the company tells MEGSA.
