Mahindra Powerol - Redefining the future of gensets.

Mahindra Powerol has been in the gensets category from a very long time. We manufacture robust and fuel efficient gensets for various segments. Some of the advantages of our gensets are:

ADVANTAGES OF POWEROL GENERATORS

1. Best in class fuel efficiency.

2. Compact design (minimum foot print).

3. Low noise level.

3. Compact engine design (good weight to power ratio).

4. Compliant with latest environmental norms.

Our gensets have various features that will help us redefine the future of the genset industry. Let us look at them below: -

A)     SMARTPHONE CONTROLLED GENSET

In an era when our home appliances like AC, TV and Refrigerators are becoming smart, why not your genset? Mahindra Powerol gensets are truly future ready, smart and controlled by ‘DiGi-Sense’ technology. Our smart gensets can be remotely monitored via your smartphone or laptop.

Various tasks like checking fuel consumption, running hours, checking the coolant temperature, oil level etc. can be carried out from the comfort of your home or office without going near the genset.

B)     COMMITMENT FOR A GREENER FUTURE – GREEN TECHNOLOGY

Air pollution is everywhere. It is a global concern. There can’t be any excuse for inaction.

Our sincere commitment towards a greener future is articulated by the launch of India’s first CPCB 2 approved CNG Genset.

Zero particulate matter emission and very low operating cost makes these gensets truly economical and environment friendly.

C)      FUEL-EFFICIENT HEAVY-DUTY ENGINES - ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED

The bigger engines of our portfolio are all technologically advanced modern day engines, engineered for superior performance. These rugged heavy duty engines are low maintenance and perfectly suited for difficult working conditions.

These are electronically controlled CRDE (Common Rail Diesel Engine) engines. An Electronic Control Unit acts as the brain of the engine. This highly sophisticated brain primarily optimizes the fuel injection system and controls the emission and much more.

D)     FUEL SAVING TECHNOLOGY FOR TELECOM

For the first time in Telecom industry , Mahindra Powerol presented a patented innovative technology – Electronic Fuel Saving System (eFSS). The technology enables variable speed governing on diesel gensets. An intelligent engine governing by varying the engine speed for optimum diesel efficiency based on power demand.

With this technology, the Diesel Generator consumes 18 - 20% less diesel. It also reduces carbon dioxide emission approximately by 5.5 Ton per year per site. A truly green technology.

E)      SOLARISATION OF TELECOM SITES

Mahindra Powerol offers complete Energy Management Solution (EMS) to Telecom towers with solarising the existing diesel generator backed towers.

Solar power is generated using Photo Voltaic (PV) cells. The output is suitably attached to an intelligent Controller which charges the Batteries or directly powers the Tower based on the load and time of the day.

Air-Cooled Engines vs. Liquid-Cooled Engines

An internal combustion engine generates heat in order to produce power. However, only a small percentage of the heat can be utilized for the conversion of power into mechanical force. The rest is discarded either through the exhaust, cylinder walls, cylinder heads, crankcase walls or engine oil.
To remove the waste heat in the most efficient and reliable manner possible, engines are either air-cooled or liquid-cooled.

Air-Cooled Engines:-

Air-cooled engines have an increased surface area for quicker heat exchange and usually have fins on them. Air-cooled engines have a high heat tolerance, which means the parts of the engines are rated to perform over a higher temperature range. This is very important in extreme conditions such as during extremely hot summers. The parts of the engine are made in a way to accommodate the expansion of the metal in the hottest of climates.

Liquid-Cooled Engines:

Liquid-cooled engines have their heads without fins and are surrounded by a water cooling system. Although the term ‘Water-cooled’ is more popular term for these engines, of late, the water in the radiator is replaced by Ethylene Glycol based coolant which has got better thermal conductivity than water. The coolant is used to keep the temperature of the engine at an optimum level. The coolant flows through the channels and absorbs the engine heat and transfers it out of the engine through radiator fan. The flow pattern, rate, temperature and pressure can all be adjusted in order to provide maximum cooling effectiveness without increasing the surface area of the cylinder head or walls.

Which is Better?

Generally, both of them have an equal number of advantages and disadvantages.
Below are the features of both types of engines:

a.Air cooled engines have lesser moving parts and hence less maintenance is required.

b.Setting up a cooling package of a Liquid cooled engine is complex affair as many hoses, pipes and accurate sizing of radiator is required.

c.With the same size of engine, a liquid cooled engine produces more power compared to an air cooled engine.

d.Due to higher thermal conductivity of Ethylene Glycol based coolant, liquid cooled engines are more efficient in removing heat and thus can operate at full load at longer time duration's.
