Guascor is an Engine manufacturer building
engines since 1966. Their sets are known to
be rugged and very reliable.
They are in operation as both Industrial and
Marine sets. Recently (mid 2005) Fidel Castro,
President of Cuba, signed a contract with
Guascor to supply 450 sets to Cuba for remote
site isolated operation. The ruggedness and
reliability of the engine was the deciding
factor.
Guascor engines are manufactured in Spain.
The weather conditions are quite similar
to those in India. It is for this
reason that the engine is very successful
in Bangladesh & Pakistan.
Quantity
of Lube oil consumption &
lube oil change is less compared to other engines
because of small sump capacity.
The
major part of Guascor range (from 250 KW to
800 KW ) has a very high interchangeability
of parts. It ensures that the spares
are easily available.
The
rate of de-ration on the engine is lowest
compared to any other make of engine. 1 % for
every 5C rise in temperature above 25 C. Considering
that the average temperature round the year
is around 35 deg C, the de-ration is only 2
%. Considering the above you do not need any
ventilation equipment thereby reducing the capital
cost as well as the parasitic load on the sets.
The
sets offered can easily be overhauled
in India unlike the other makes of
engines whereby the half block assembly has
to be imported.
No other
gas engine supplier has our infrastructure
in terms of capability in overhauling and supporting
engine rebuild and after sales service. We are
backed by an ISO 9001 service Company with a
complete infrastructure to overhaul engines.
The
Guascor engines have a higher block
loading capacity due to the use of
dual turbochargers ensuring faster response
from the engine.
The
engine is not overstressed
as the bmep is within the most comfortable range
for the best engine life.
The thermal &
electrical efficiency is the best in
its class.
Our
gensets are extremely user friendly.
Excepting the bare engine all other critical
components are Indian make. Service, support
and life cycle costs are therefore considerably
lower. Our panel uses the “Intellisys”
controller from ComAp, which is one of the best
products in its Class.
We can
offer fastest deliveries for
the gensets. Our deliveries are typically 6
weeks ex-works. Compare this with other engine
manufacturers. You recover a significant portion
of the project cost due to early delivery.
Spare
parts are substantially cheaper than
those of other makes of engines. We can
guarantee the prices of spares for the next
5 years subject to only the change
in the inflation rate in Europe unlike other
manufacturers who change the price lists time
to time
We can
take on the turnkey O&M at guaranteed rates
so that your costs and returns are guaranteed.
The engine & its operating parameters
are not electronically locked thereby
reducing your dependence on foreign suppliers.
The engine control panels supplied
with the genset do not need special air-conditioned
rooms. All the equipment supplied with the
sets are tropicalized to suit Indian conditions.
Apart
from the basic engine all the other
components used are manufactured in India,
spares, services issues are therefore taken
care of.
The
following equipment is sourced from Indian manufacturers
who give an on site warranty and after sales
service back up:
Alternator Stamford / Leroy
Somer make (with a 2 year warranty)
Base Frame
Coupling
Anti vibration Pads
Breaker panel with MMI & PLC
