he new Earth Max engine series of engines has just been launched by Lister Petter. The company describes it as an engine designed for the "heavy-duty, mission-critical sector".

 According to the manufacturer, the high-output diesel engine platform has been engineered to ad-dress the realities of modern power generation, with intended customers working on projects including large-scale data centre, utilities, industrial infrastructure and grid support applications. The engines can support installations of up to 2,750 kVA.

 Models in the Earth Max range include the 20-cylinder LP2041EG and the flagship LP1686EG. Designed for fixed-speed 1,500 and 1,800 rpm applications where downtime is not an option, the full Earth Max range covers an output range from 1,020 kW to 2,220 kW. Features of the new engine range include high-pressure common rail fuel injection and an aftercooled turbo architecture. Heavy-duty cooling and lubrication systems support continuous operation, while fuel economy numbers deliver favorable long-term operating economics.

  Engine performance has been certified under ISO 3046 and ISO 8528.

 Simon Lee, commercial director at Lister Petter, comments:

“We’ve come a long way from small, hand-start air-cooled engines,” This is a genuine evolution of the company, both in terms of scale and market positioning, and marks our entry into the large-scale, mission-critical power space.”
