Cummins Powered Marine Generating Sets

Beta Marine

Beta Marine Limited has built its renowned reputation on over 30 years of customer centred focus, listening to their individual maritime diesel power or propulsion needs, then delivering long-lasting, robust and reliable value solutions. We specialise in supporting our customers at all points of a products voyage; Pre-purchase technical advice, CAD supported technical solutions, managing classification society specification if required, product installation support, then backing all up with a superb international after-sales service via our network of approved distributors/dealerships.

The Cummins Engine Company was founded it the USA nearly 100 years ago (Cummins was founded in Indiana in 1919). Today it is represented worldwide with manufacturing plants in some 12 countries and worldwide distribution. It is a multinational organisation with massive investment in research and engineering. Their range includes marine engines for propulsion and power generation with many models produced in the UK where their HQ is situated at Daventry. Production plants have quality certification and most marine engine models comply with IMO Tier II, EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIa emissions regulations (as applicable) and are designed to meet the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) and SOLAS requirements.

Our Cummins powered marine generating sets are offered in varying kVA that are heat exchanger cooled as standard, keel and radiator cooling is available as an alternative. We offer a large menu of ancillary equipment and accessories that you may tailor to suit your individual bespoke needs. Once you have ordered your open framed or acoustically enclosed generating set it is individually built to order and to classification standard if it is required. The generators driven by the Cummins engines are as standard Newage Stamford but others options are available please refer to Generating Set Alternator Options.

Generating Set Overview

Marine generating set with a continuous rated “Prime” power output, 3 phase at 0.8p.f with the capability for a 10% overload in accordance with ISO standard 3046. Designed, built and tested by Beta Marine Limited each set comprising of;

  • Powered by a Cummins Marine specification heat exchanger cooled marine auxiliary diesel engine and rated for continuous operation in accordance with ISO 3046.
  • Heat exchanger cooling complete with cupro-nickel tube bundle, with fresh and sea water pumps. Water cooled exhaust manifold with dry outlet and exhaust connection/elbow and flanged flexible bellows section.
  • 24 volt electric start system with battery charging alternator and stop solenoid valve. Fully insulated return marine system.
  • Combined start, alarm and shutdown panel engine mounted and pre-wired to engine components and including:- start/stop key switch, oil pressure gauge, coolant temperature gauge, tachometer/hours run meter, shutdown on low lubricating oil pressure, high coolant temperature, and overspeed; indicator lamps for faults and power on, provision for connection of customers remote emergency stop. QSB and above have class type approved modular engine controller rather than individual gauges. In these cases start and stop is by push button.
  • Speed governor to control engine speed to the requirements of ISO 3046 for diesel generating set.
  • Cummins standard fuel oil and lubricating oil filters. Duplex change-over fuel filters. Flexible fuel connections.
  • Lubricating oil cooler and sump drain pump.
  • Dry type combustion air inlet filter.
  • Newage Stanford marine AC alternator, marine rated to ISO standard, ventilated drip proof enclosure with IP 22 protection, single bearing construction on B, C and QSB models, two bearing construction on larger sets. The generator is self-regulating and self-excited and is complete with terminal box and automatic voltage regulator.
  • The engine and alternator are close coupled together and mounted on a combined welded steel base plate.
  • Marine failsafe anti-vibration mountings are installed as standard to isolate the generating set base plate from the ships seating.
  • Paint – These generating sets are finished in Cummins white as standard but can be finished in colour of choice.
  • Each generating set is “full load” tested in accordance with our quality document QA001. On turbocharged engines load acceptance is limited in accordance with ISO 3046.

Bespoke Acoustic Enclosures

Available for Heat Exchanger, Keel or Radiator Cooled Generating Sets.

Bespoke enclosures are manufactured from ‘Zintec’ steel and finished in off white ‘powder coated’ paint to complement the generating set colour. The panel frame is bolted together for rigidity and strength. It is lined with high quality 38mm flame retardant acoustic foam material (including a 4mm polymeric barrier), held in place with high temperature silicon adhesive. Complete with full tray base frame, drain plug and lifting lugs.

Quick release “service” panels facilitate easy, simple and unobstructed access to the engine, AC alternator and ancillaries. Acoustic attenuating ducts provide air flow in and out of enclosure forced by an electric ventilation fan which is powered direct from the AC alternator terminals. Blank gland plates are provided for electrical connections.

Cooling Options

Heat Exchanger – Complete with integral heat exchanger, fresh & sea water pumps and wet exhaust outlet.

Keel Cooling – Complete with fresh water pump ready for use with the vessels keel cooler and dry exhaust outlet.

Classification

If a vessel is “classified” and the class notation calls for the marine generating set to be “in class” then unless there is an exception allowed for by the relevant class rules, the complete generating set will be subject to the relevant classification society rules.

Once built to the relevant classification society rules, the complete engine, alternator and all its ancillaries will need to be fully surveyed and witness tested at the factory by the classification society surveyor/s. Upon completion, full class certificates will be issued specific to each generating set.

The requirements vary between classification societies and the relevant society surveyor should be consulted prior to ordering to ensure the generating set customer/vessel specification is acceptable for the class.

The benefit of this process is the generating set has been proven and is compliant before being shipped and received on board.

Classification Society compliance and certification is a chargeable extra and will allowed for in your bespoke generating set quotation.

Note: Please note that not all engines are available with ‘type’ approval and some engine manufacturers do not offer or allow their engines to be surveyed and witness tested by class society surveyors in their factory.

Certification Options

IMO & EIAPP Certification

For IMO and EIAPP compliance please refer to 50Hz or 60Hz specification data tabs.

Classification Options

Beta Marine can manufacture marine generating sets with or without Classification Society requirements, including but not limited to the Societies listed below. For more information please refer to the IACS Guide to Classification.

Output Options

The following illustration below depicts two main generating sets and one stand by generating set which can be arranged in multiple configurations to suit the vessels application requirements.

Auto Stand By

In this application each generating set is sized to carry the full electrical load of the vessel. Each generating is arranged for automatic stand by to each other with their outputs controlled through a change over contactor. Failure of the selected running generator set would automatically initiate the starting of the second generating set which when running, would take over the electrical load.

The electrical load black out would be milliseconds should the change over be controlled by a pre-alarm on the running generating set or initiated by the operator.

In this application the use of a stand by emergency / essential services set may be obviated. However, if the machinery has to built to classification, the relevant classification society rules will dictate the final requirement that will need to be met.

Auto Stand By With Parallel Operation

In this application the arrangement is the same as Auto Stand By (above) but the change over contactor is replaced by independent contactors or motorised circuit breakers. In the event of sudden failure of the running generator set the operation procedure would also be the same as Auto Stand By. However, under controlled shutdown of the running generator the second generating set could be run up either manually or automatically and paralleled with the with the outgoing generating set enabling a smooth take over of the load before the outgoing set is shut down.

Full Parallel Operation

In this application both generating sets power the load either continuously or dependent upon demand, the arrangement can be manually or automatically operated. It is common for the vessels switchboard to incorporate a load shedding arrangement so that in the event of a failure of one of the main generating sets that all essential services loads would be maintained by the other generating set.

In this arrangement the installation of an emergency / essential services generating is set is recommended.

Bespoke Arrangements

The above options can be modified and adjusted for bespoke vessel operational needs. There may be more or less generating sets (than depicted above) to suit these needs with bespoke control, appropriate for the final arrangement.

Many requirements are dictated by any relevant classification society class rules which are set to ensure the safety of both the crew and the vessel. These rules will embody SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea) as issued by the IMO (International Maritime Organisation).

Generating Set Overview

Generating Set Overview

Marine generating set with a continuous rated “Prime” power output, 3 phase at 0.8p.f with the capability for a 10% overload in accordance with ISO standard 3046. Designed, built and tested by Beta Marine Limited each set comprising of;

  • Powered by a Cummins Marine specification heat exchanger cooled marine auxiliary diesel engine and rated for continuous operation in accordance with ISO 3046.
  • Heat exchanger cooling complete with cupro-nickel tube bundle, with fresh and sea water pumps. Water cooled exhaust manifold with dry outlet and exhaust connection/elbow and flanged flexible bellows section.
  • 24 volt electric start system with battery charging alternator and stop solenoid valve. Fully insulated return marine system.
  • Combined start, alarm and shutdown panel engine mounted and pre-wired to engine components and including:- start/stop key switch, oil pressure gauge, coolant temperature gauge, tachometer/hours run meter, shutdown on low lubricating oil pressure, high coolant temperature, and overspeed; indicator lamps for faults and power on, provision for connection of customers remote emergency stop. QSB and above have class type approved modular engine controller rather than individual gauges. In these cases start and stop is by push button.
  • Speed governor to control engine speed to the requirements of ISO 3046 for diesel generating set.
  • Cummins standard fuel oil and lubricating oil filters. Duplex change-over fuel filters. Flexible fuel connections.
  • Lubricating oil cooler and sump drain pump.
  • Dry type combustion air inlet filter.
  • Newage Stanford marine AC alternator, marine rated to ISO standard, ventilated drip proof enclosure with IP 22 protection, single bearing construction on B, C and QSB models, two bearing construction on larger sets. The generator is self-regulating and self-excited and is complete with terminal box and automatic voltage regulator.
  • The engine and alternator are close coupled together and mounted on a combined welded steel base plate.
  • Marine failsafe anti-vibration mountings are installed as standard to isolate the generating set base plate from the ships seating.
  • Paint – These generating sets are finished in Cummins white as standard but can be finished in colour of choice.
  • Each generating set is “full load” tested in accordance with our quality document QA001. On turbocharged engines load acceptance is limited in accordance with ISO 3046.
Bespoke Acoustic Enclosures

Bespoke Acoustic Enclosures

Available for Heat Exchanger, Keel or Radiator Cooled Generating Sets.

Bespoke enclosures are manufactured from ‘Zintec’ steel and finished in off white ‘powder coated’ paint to complement the generating set colour. The panel frame is bolted together for rigidity and strength. It is lined with high quality 38mm flame retardant acoustic foam material (including a 4mm polymeric barrier), held in place with high temperature silicon adhesive. Complete with full tray base frame, drain plug and lifting lugs.

Quick release “service” panels facilitate easy, simple and unobstructed access to the engine, AC alternator and ancillaries. Acoustic attenuating ducts provide air flow in and out of enclosure forced by an electric ventilation fan which is powered direct from the AC alternator terminals. Blank gland plates are provided for electrical connections.

Cooling Options

Cooling Options

Heat Exchanger – Complete with integral heat exchanger, fresh & sea water pumps and wet exhaust outlet.

Keel Cooling – Complete with fresh water pump ready for use with the vessels keel cooler and dry exhaust outlet.

Classification & Certification Options

Classification

If a vessel is “classified” and the class notation calls for the marine generating set to be “in class” then unless there is an exception allowed for by the relevant class rules, the complete generating set will be subject to the relevant classification society rules.

Once built to the relevant classification society rules, the complete engine, alternator and all its ancillaries will need to be fully surveyed and witness tested at the factory by the classification society surveyor/s. Upon completion, full class certificates will be issued specific to each generating set.

The requirements vary between classification societies and the relevant society surveyor should be consulted prior to ordering to ensure the generating set customer/vessel specification is acceptable for the class.

The benefit of this process is the generating set has been proven and is compliant before being shipped and received on board.

Classification Society compliance and certification is a chargeable extra and will allowed for in your bespoke generating set quotation.

Note: Please note that not all engines are available with ‘type’ approval and some engine manufacturers do not offer or allow their engines to be surveyed and witness tested by class society surveyors in their factory.

Certification Options

IMO & EIAPP Certification

For IMO and EIAPP compliance please refer to 50Hz or 60Hz specification data tabs.

Classification Options

Beta Marine can manufacture marine generating sets with or without Classification Society requirements, including but not limited to the Societies listed below. For more information please refer to the IACS Guide to Classification.

Output Options

Output Options

The following illustration below depicts two main generating sets and one stand by generating set which can be arranged in multiple configurations to suit the vessels application requirements.

Auto Stand By

In this application each generating set is sized to carry the full electrical load of the vessel. Each generating is arranged for automatic stand by to each other with their outputs controlled through a change over contactor. Failure of the selected running generator set would automatically initiate the starting of the second generating set which when running, would take over the electrical load.

The electrical load black out would be milliseconds should the change over be controlled by a pre-alarm on the running generating set or initiated by the operator.

In this application the use of a stand by emergency / essential services set may be obviated. However, if the machinery has to built to classification, the relevant classification society rules will dictate the final requirement that will need to be met.

Auto Stand By With Parallel Operation

In this application the arrangement is the same as Auto Stand By (above) but the change over contactor is replaced by independent contactors or motorised circuit breakers. In the event of sudden failure of the running generator set the operation procedure would also be the same as Auto Stand By. However, under controlled shutdown of the running generator the second generating set could be run up either manually or automatically and paralleled with the with the outgoing generating set enabling a smooth take over of the load before the outgoing set is shut down.

Full Parallel Operation

In this application both generating sets power the load either continuously or dependent upon demand, the arrangement can be manually or automatically operated. It is common for the vessels switchboard to incorporate a load shedding arrangement so that in the event of a failure of one of the main generating sets that all essential services loads would be maintained by the other generating set.

In this arrangement the installation of an emergency / essential services generating is set is recommended.

Bespoke Arrangements

The above options can be modified and adjusted for bespoke vessel operational needs. There may be more or less generating sets (than depicted above) to suit these needs with bespoke control, appropriate for the final arrangement.

Many requirements are dictated by any relevant classification society class rules which are set to ensure the safety of both the crew and the vessel. These rules will embody SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea) as issued by the IMO (International Maritime Organisation).
