• Natural Gas Fuel System: Lower operating costs compared to diesel, cleaner emissions, and simplified fuel storage with direct utility connection capability
• 60 Hz / 12,470V Configuration: Medium-voltage output ideal for direct grid paralleling or large facility distribution systems, reducing transformer requirements
• Remote Radiator Cooling: Flexible installation options allowing heat rejection away from the generator, optimizing space utilization and environmental control
• Cummins-Wärtsilä Engineering: Premium industrial-grade construction designed for continuous duty and extended service intervals
• Low Hours Operation: With only approximately 2,000 hours, this generator retains the majority of its operational life—comparable to a new unit at a fraction of the cost
• 1998 Manufacture: Built during the peak era of Cummins-Wärtsilä collaboration, representing mature, proven technology without unnecessary electronic complexity

Ideal Applications

This generator set is perfectly suited for:

• Healthcare facilities requiring N+1 redundancy or primary backup power
• Manufacturing plants with high-power demands and natural gas availability
• Data centers seeking reliable, clean-running backup power
• Peak shaving and grid support applications
• Co-generation and CHP (combined heat and power) installations
• Large commercial or institutional facilities with medium-voltage distribution

The Cummins-Wärtsilä Advantage

When Cummins and Wärtsilä collaborated, they created generator sets that set industry benchmarks for durability and efficiency. The CW-81-G features a robust gas engine designed for extended service intervals, premium components throughout, and engineering that prioritizes reliability over complexity. Parts and service support remain readily available through the extensive Cummins network.

Smart Investment, Proven Value

Acquiring a low-hour, hospital-grade generator at pre-owned pricing represents exceptional value. Avoid the long lead times and premium costs of new equipment while gaining immediate access to proven, reliable power generation. The remote radiator configuration adds installation flexibility that many standard units cannot offer.
