Cummins extends QSF engine line-up for rental equipment

Cummins will extend its QSF engine line-up at Intermat with new configurations focused on simplified installation packages intended for rental equipment applications. The engines, across the 37-55kW power range, meet EU and EPA low-emissions regulations, and the new QSF2.8 ratings will be introduced without Charge Air Cooling (CAC) to offer “a cost-effective power solution for space-constrained installations.” The QSF3.8 will be available at a lower 55kW rating with the Cummins ‘fit and forget’ Diesel Ox

Cummins QSF2.8 and QSF3.8 engine
196 Cummins will extend its QSF engine line-up at Intermat with new configurations focused on simplified installation packages intended for rental equipment applications.

The engines, across the 37-55kW power range, meet EU and EPA low-emissions regulations, and the new QSF2.8 ratings will be introduced without Charge Air Cooling (CAC) to offer “a cost-effective power solution for space-constrained installations.” The QSF3.8 will be available at a lower 55kW rating with the Cummins ‘fit and forget’ Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) offering the same service-free after-treatment provided by the smaller QSF2.8 engine.

“By adding these new configurations to the QSF2.8 and QSF3.8 engine range, we are anticipating a strong preference from rental companies to specify compact equipment that can offer the simplest solution and lowest cost of operation as they transition their fleets to meet lower emissions,” says Brian Wilson, Cummins general manager, Global Compact Business.

The simplified non-CAC version of the 2.8litre QSF uses an upgraded fuel injection-and-combustion formula able to retain the necessary torque and power delivery without the need for higher-density airflow. Removing the CAC system reduces cooling load on the equipment, freeing up space and simplifying the engine installation.

The QSF2.8 without CAC is available at 37-48kW ratings for both 2,200rpm and 2,500rpm applications. The non-CAC ratings join the existing QSF2.8 line-up with CAC from 37-55kW at 2,500 rpm configured for applications with more demanding duty cycles.

The QSF3.8 will move down to a 55kW rating, bringing the benefit of the smaller, ‘fit and forget’ Cummins DOC-only to a broader range of rental equipment applications. This after-treatment downsizing will allow equipment positioned in the 56-67kW category to eliminate the need for “a more complex Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) or Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system.”

    With the introduction of Stage V/Tier 5 emissions regulations set for 2019-2020, depending on engine power output, FPT Industrial says that it will build upon its SCR-only strategy, remaining one of the few manufacturers not adopting Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) to meet the standard. The Italian firm’s Hi-eSCR after-treatment system, already in use on Stage IV/Tier 4 Final engines, maximises in-engine combustion technology without using EGR. This saves weight, cost and space for the equipment manufacture

With the Tier 3/Stage IIIA emissions legislation now in place in North America and Europe, the major engine manufacturers already have an array of solutions on the market. The coming Tier 4 interim/Stage IIIB legislation will be tougher still and most firms are well in hand with their plans to use both in-cylinder and exhaust after-treatment technology.

    Yanmar says it is launching its most impressive line-up development for 20 years, with two brand new engine families. The 4TN101 is a 3.8litre displacement engine, which lines up in the 55-105kW power range with torque up to 550Nm, while the 4TN107 has a 4.6litre displacement with power ratings ranging from 90-155kW and torque exceeding 805Nm. Both engines feature a Common Rail injection system, full authority electronics and after-cooled turbocharging (with a two-stage turbo on the 4TN107 upper ratings).
