Let's meet at IDCEXPO! Cat® Power is waiting for you to "cheer"!

Innovative green energy conservation, leading the low-carbon future! From June 17th to 19th, the "IDCEXPO Data Center Exhibition" and the "2021 China Data Center Green Energy Conference" will be held concurrently at the Shanghai International Expo Center. The conference aims to promote the application of clean and low-carbon energy and explore the innovative technologies of data centers to drive industrial progress, which coincides with the research and development direction of Cat Power!

Exhibition Highlight 1: Product display

At this year's IDCEXPO exhibition, Cat Power will showcase the G3520H gas generator set at booth E5-066 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center and, together with its agents, look forward to your visit! Join the industry grand event and explore a low-carbon future together!

Exhibition Highlight 2: In-depth conversations

During the same period, Cat Power will jointly discuss with data center experts and distributed energy experts the application of gas-fired combined cooling, heating and power in data centers under the background of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, as well as case sharing and application exploration of cleaner energy in generator sets in China.

The G3500H series classic platform

The Cat®G3500H series gas generator sets are developed based on the Cat®G3500H platform and have accumulated over 30 years of research and development experience. They feature high efficiency, reliability, and easy operation and maintenance.

The H series can use natural gas as fuel and includes three models: 12-cylinder, 16-cylinder and 20-cylinder, with power ranging from 1500kW to 2500kW. It is applicable to cogeneration of heat and power and has multiple irreplaceable advantages such as energy conservation, emission reduction, economy, safety, peak shaving and valley filling, and promoting the development of a circular economy.

The G3520H is highly efficient and low-consumption

The unique design enables the Cat®G3500H series units to adapt to a wider range of calorific value gas fuels, and their high-temperature adaptability can meet the application requirements at different altitudes. Whether your goal is to achieve low energy consumption, low emissions, better transient response, or to operate in harsh high ambient temperatures, the H series can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your project.

The product on display this time is the 20-cylinder Cat®G3500H gas generator set, with a speed of 1500rpm/50Hz, 2500kWe, an electrical efficiency as high as 45.4%, a thermal efficiency of 40.9%, an overall efficiency of 86.3%, and nitrogen oxide emissions less than 500mg/Nm3. The valve clearance hydraulic automatic regulator can achieve a maintenance interval of 2000 hours, an oil consumption of 0.122g/kWh, and a major overhaul cycle of 80,000 hours.

Combined cooling, heating and power supply is more suitable for data centers

The Cat®G3500H series generates electricity from natural gas and further recovers the waste heat produced by the prime mover. It then fully utilizes the low-grade thermal energy for heating and cooling, achieving stepwise energy utilization and increasing the primary energy utilization rate to over 70%. This forms a seamless combined cooling, heating and power system, thus it is called combined cooling, heating and power.

Caterpillar has applied the Cat®G3500H series gas turbine units in data centers, in combination with combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) systems, to meet the cooling and power demands of data centers.

Nowadays, data centers are booming both globally and in China. How to improve energy utilization efficiency and reduce emissions in the context of energy conservation and emission reduction has become a hot topic at present. Caterpillar gas generator sets have effectively addressed customers' electricity usage issues in specific scenarios. They can utilize cleaner energy and integrate into a tri-generation system to provide cooling for data centers, which is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient and low-carbon.
