Cummins adds marine genset to C Power line

Engineered specifically for the demands of marine applications, the QSM11-CP is designed, integrated and assembled by Cummins newest manufacturing facility, the Commercial Marine and Offshore Oil & Gas Centre of Excellence.

The new QSM11-CP features a Cummins QSM11-DM marine auxiliary engine matched to a Cummins Generator Technologies marine grade HCM434F1 alternator. All major components of C Power generator sets are designed and manufactured by divisions of the Cummins family to ensure all elements of the genset operate with complete system harmony for optimal performance and maximum efficiency.

With ratings from 250 to 300 kWe, the QSM11 C Power is optimized for primary ship’s service and emergency power. The QSM11-CP includes customer selectable options, including Cummins own C Command HD panels, to tailor the set based on vessel application. Certified to U.S. EPA Tier 2 and IMO Tier II emissions standards, the QSM11-CP is also SOLAS compliant and certified by the industry’s major classification societies, including American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Bureau Veritas (BV), Det Norske Veritas (DNV), and Lloyd’s Register (LR).

“The launch of the QSM11-CP allows us to fill a gap in the 200 to 300 kWe range while meeting the latest emissions requirements for marine equipment, said Donald Ho, director of the Commercial Marine Centre of Excellence. “Components like filters and dipsticks can be mounted on either port or starboard side, giving the genset flexibility in installation and maintenance onboard. But what’s most impressive is Cummins’ ability to offer a genset fully integrated by the factory that carries with it the benefit of Cummins service and warranty support.”
