QSL9 Engine (C300D5 with PCC1302)

Cummins QSL engines are built to deliver heavy-duty performance. Full-authority electronic engine
controls combine with the high-pressure fuel system, 24-valve design and centered injectors for one
of the highest power-to-weight ratios in its class. At the same ti me, the QSL delivers better fuel
economy, has better cold starting capability and is up to 50% quieter in operation than its
predecessors.
1 GENERATOR SET:
A generator set is the combination of an engine with an electric generator (often an alternator) to
generate electrical energy. This is a specific case of engine-generator.

Generating sets are used in places without connection to the power grid, as emergency power-
supply if the grid fails, as well as for more complex applications such as peak-lopping, grid support
and export to the power grid.

The main component of a typical QSL9 engine generator set are shown below.

2 ENGINE:

Some common features of the QSL9 engine are:

2.1 FULLY INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC CONTROLS.
A single, higher-capacity Electronic Control Module (ECM) controls everything from air intake to
exhaust after treatment for peak performance. Provides seamless integration of all components to
optimize engine performance.

2.2 HIGH-PRESSURE COMMON-RAIL FUEL SYSTEMS.
The QSL9 uses an XPI (Extra-High Pressure Injection) fuel system, developed by Cummins to provide
more efficiency for the 400-hp heavy-duty output of the 9-liter engine. In addition to increasing
power output and lowering fuel consumption, these fuel systems reduce noise and engine vibration.

2.3 FLEETGUARD FUEL FILTERS.
These engines are equipped with Cummins Fleetguard fuel filters featuring nanotechnology-based
media, designed to remove 98.7 percent of all particles as small as 4 microns, which is up to 13 times
more than competing filters.

2.4 DIRECT FLOW AIR SYSTEM.
From Cummins Filtration designed for Tier 4 installations to take less space, provide better
protection and extend filter change intervals. Flat profile enables more efficient direct flow of air
through the filter compared with conventional radial seal filters.

2.5 COOLED EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR).
Rebalanced for Tier 4 Final, this cooled EGR system reduces demand on the engine, improving fuel
efficiency and lowering cost of operation as it reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions.

2.6 CUMMINS VGT TURBOCHARGER.
It has fewer moving parts than competitive turbochargers yet is infinitely adjustable delivering the
exact amount of air to the combustion chamber with the precision of electronic controls.

2.7 ECOFIT ULTRA-LOW EMISSION SYSTEMS.
Introduced by Cummins Emission Solutions, EcoFit Ultra-Low Emission Systems for the QSL9 utilize
innovative after-treatment technologies designed to improve equipment performance and
integration with a more compact and flexible installation for Tier 4 Final.

The addition of the EcoFit Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system provides the ability to precisely
balance oxides of nitrogen (NOx) reduction between after-treatment and cooled Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (EGR) on the engine giving greater control over the combustion formula than ever
before.

Combined with SCR, the EcoFit Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) achieves near-zero emissions with
fully passive, flow-through operation. It is a fit and forget solution that is significantly smaller than
a particulate filter and offers a substantial benefit for increasingly space-constrained installations.
