n 2025 BAGHDAD AL-SALAM COMPANY successfully delivered 4 units 2250 KVA Generators Open Type powered by PERKINS engine & Leroy Somer for the Kirkuk General Hospital 400 Beds Educational / Ministry of Health / Iraq. Open type diesel generators are built with exposed components mounted on a sturdy steel frame without surrounding acoustic or weatherproof enclosures.
This design allows for straightforward accessibility and cost-effective power generation solutions for various applications. The generator's components include the engine, alternator, fuel system, cooling system, control panel, and base frame. The engine converts fuel into mechanical energy, the alternator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, and the fuel system supplies consistent fuel to the engine.
The cooling system uses air and liquid cooling mechanisms to prevent overheating during generator operation. The control panel houses electronic controls for starting, stopping, monitoring, and managing the generator's functioning. The base frame provides a sturdy platform for mounting the engine and alternator, often equipped with vibration isolators to reduce noise and mechanical stress. Open type diesel generators are known for their superior fuel efficiency and versatility, making them a preferred choice for many industries.
The specified package for Kirkuk General Hospital was 4 x 2,250 kVA diesel gensets with Perkins engines and fitted with Leroy Somer alternators.
The engine at the heart of the genset is the 4016TAG2A used in the Perkins 2250 kVA generator. This engine is known for its durability and efficiency, making it suitable for various power applications. The generator is designed to provide reliable power supply, even in demanding environments, and is built with genuine Perkins engineering.
The 4016TAG2A diesel engine stands out for its turbocharged, air-to-air charge cooled, 16-cylinder Vee form design. It is specifically tuned for improved load acceptance response in standby duty, ensuring reliable operation even during power outages. The engine features individual 4-valve cylinder heads for optimised gas flows and unit fuel injectors for ultra-fine fuel atomization, which leads to controlled rapid combustion for efficiency and economy.
Additionally, the engine's design allows for reduced parts stocking levels due to commonality of components with other engines in the 4000 Series family.
The advanced gallery jet cooling system controls piston temperatures, and the engine is tolerant of a wide range of temperatures without derating. Its exceptional power-to-weight ratio and compact size facilitate easier transportation and installation, while the excellent service access for maintenance ensures long-term reliability. The engine complies with major international standards and offers low gaseous emissions for cleaner operation. Perkins Engines Company Limited provides comprehensive service support, including access to genuine OE specification parts and service throughout the engine's life.
