Interim Tier 4 Emissions Regulations For Generators

摘要

Keeping apprised of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) complex diesel emissions regulations can be a challenge, but now that these requirements encompass not only mobile off-highway applications but also stationary applications, it's up to the generator owner/ operator to stay informed. When armed with the appropriate information, it will be relatively straightforward to source these products. A complete listing of the emissions requirements for stationary diesel engines was published in the Federal Register in July 2006. Prior to this time, the EPA had exempted all stationary engines. Now engines used in stationary applications-such as diesel-powered generators-are required to meet the same non-road diesels have aligned, this distinction no longer applies. Engine manufacturers can simply supply off-highway engines for power generation-with the added fact that generator engines are usually optimized for fixed-speed operation.
