Atlas Copco featured the QAC 1200 during the 2014 Power-Gen International tradeshow in December in Orlando. These generators, which produce 1 megawatt of predictable power, can be used in prime power or critical standby applications in a multitude of industries. Operators can parallel as many as 16 of these generators for greater dependability, versatility and reduced fuel consumption.
Atlas Copco engineers the QAC 1200 into custom, 20-foot enclosures with the same footprint and form factor as ISO containers. This ensures the units are structurally sound and can accommodate features that would otherwise weaken the integrity of standard shipping containers. The enclosure also helps minimize engine noise to 75 dBA at 23 feet, which makes it an ideal generator for sound-sensitive applications near hospitals, museums and schools.
The QAC 1200 features a Cummins QST30G5 diesel engine that is EPA Tier 2 certified and provides 1158 kVA/926 kW prime power rating (60 Hz). With this fuel-efficient, electronically governed engine, the integrated fuel tank provides a minimum run time of eight hours.
Atlas Copco also offers optional cold-weather packages for the QAC 1200 generators. They include alternator heaters, coolant heaters and battery chargers to ensure dependable starts and operations in cold climates.
