Doosan Infracore participated in ‘Middle East Energy (MEE) 2020’, which was held at the Dubai World Trade Center, the United Arab Emirates, from March 3rd to the 5th, 2020 (Local time). MEE is the largest trade exhibition on power in the world, which takes place every year at Dubai.
▲ Doosan Infracore showcased its latest electronic engine and hybrid powertrain at Middle East Energy (MEE) 2020, held in Dubai, UAE, from March 3rd to the 5th.
At the event, Doosan Infracore presented its lineup of seven engines, including the latest generator engine, DX22. The DX22, Doosan Infracore’s 22-liter class electronic engine, is a high-performance, environment-friendly engine with the best-in-class fuel efficiency. It offers a 20% increase in output compared to the existing mechanical engine in the same class.
The company also displayed the prototype of its hybrid powertrain at the exhibition. The hybrid powertrain employs a fossil fuel-powered internal combustion engine, coupled with an electric motor and battery. The electric motor (48-volts) turns on when a small amount of energy is needed, while the combustion engine (2.4 liters) is used to generate a larger amount of energy. The product features an increased output capacity, equivalent to a 3-liter engine, even without an after-treatment system, offering both financial and environmental benefits.
- Powertrain refers to a system used to deliver power within machinery.
In addition, Doosan Infracore announced its new product support policy, which will more than double the warranty period for emergency generator engines, from the existing ‘1.5 years (18 months) from delivery or 500 operating hours’ to ‘5 years or 1,000 operating hours’. A Doosan Infracore’s official said, “We will deliver the world’s best innovative warranty service based on our strong confidence in product quality”.
