Engine and Cooling System Built for the BCMU 500S-60 T2

At the core of the BCMU 500S-60 T2 is the MTU 10V 1600 G20, a water cooled diesel engine designed to handle sustained industrial loads. The engine produces a net power output of 543 kWm at standby rating, supported by an "ADEC" electronic governor and ECU with full CANBus communication for precise control and monitoring. Fuel efficiency is strong across the load range, with consumption of 125.0 liters per hour at full power and 96.7 liters per hour at 75 percent load. The cooling system is engineered to manage heat rejection of 235 kW to the cooling water and 118 kW to the charge cooler, keeping the engine within safe operating temperatures even under continuous demand. A radiator with pressure cap and drain point, along with a fully guarded engine driven fan, rounds out a cooling package designed for long service life.

Alternator Performance You Can Count On

The single bearing CGT Stamford HCI 534 alternator pairs directly with the engine for a compact, efficient drivetrain. It operates on a 3-phase, 4-pole, winding 311 configuration with a power factor of 0.8 and is separately excited by a permanent magnet generator (PMG) for stable performance under transient loads. The Class H insulation system and MX 321 AVR provide tight voltage regulation within ± 0.5 percent, protecting sensitive downstream equipment from voltage fluctuations.

Control System Options for the BCMU 500S-60 T2

Every unit comes standard with the BC 7310 Digital Auto Start controller, based on the Deep Sea Electronics DSE7310. It supports manual and automatic remote starting, LCD digital display of coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, amperage, frequency, and power output, along with full RS485 telemetry. For facilities needing automatic mains failure functionality, the BC 7320 option adds integrated mains monitoring. Organizations running multiple generator sets can step up to BC 8610 or BC 8620 for set-to-set or set-to-mains synchronization.

Dimensions, Weight, and Practical Installation Details

As an open set, the BCMU 500S-60 T2 measures 3,635 mm in length, 1,708 mm in width, and 2,115 mm in height, with an operating weight of 4,880 kg. The fully welded steel baseframe includes lifting and jacking points to simplify transport and installation, while heavy duty rubber anti-vibration mountings reduce structural noise transmission.

Why Choose the BCMU 500S-60 T2

With EPA Tier 2 compliant emissions, a trusted MTU engine, and a Stamford alternator, the BCMU 500S-60 T2 offers a dependable, well documented power solution backed by a complete factory test certificate and maintenance manual for long term operational confidence.
