So I jumped up on this QSK50 today and I actually said holy crap out loud. hands down without doubt the biggest turbos I have in person seen on a diesel burning engine. AND each bank is compounded. God bless Cummins.............doing compound quads as an OEM.


dual holsets. HT100's feeding HX93's

Now that's a BIG Cummins, but I think we could still sqeeze it under the hood.

Dang!! you would have to look like one of those strong men on ESPN to pick up that snail.. sweet cummins though.

wow 2000hp and 5805tq with a reduction of NOx by 40% and particulate matter by 60%

Whats it for a frac unit or power generation?


Tim

these are frac engines. QSKTA50-CE 2300hp rated (1697.2Kw measured) S9820M series Allison. it measured 45psi boost at rated speed and load (312.8 kPa)

we setup 5 engines and trannys for BJ services.

what is a frac engine? sorry for my ignorance.[duhhh]

Its oilfield equipment. specifically wellhead service equipment. The unit is a Fracture pump. engine drives the transmission, tranny driveshaft to pump. really simple just really big. for being mobile. the key is getting the most horsepower they can get on 1 trailer.

basically oil and gas is trapped in rock formations underground right. to be the well flowing faster. a fluid substance, usually corrosive. is pumped downhole and literally fractures the rock formations freeing up more oil or gas. they hook these rigs up in parallel. for really big deep wells.

Are you taking about BJ in Eldorado?

BJ is across all of north america and international. they have a huge facility in Calgary, well some of its shutdown now in this slowdown.

Had no idea they were such a large company.

Oh yes, BJ is huge.

was running one up today. heres a frac unit. this is a GSK50 cummins as well, but a twindisk transmission not an allison 9000 series. at fullboat they can do about 15,000psi on a 5" bore discharge -ish

Thats one of our new style pumpers, Who do you work for?

Waterous Calgary.

Cummins does make some really big engines-- especially for power gen applications and such.

Rumor has it the even bigger ones are coming down the pike!

Currently the biggest Cummins engine is the QSK78 a V18 of 3500hp.

It's huge.

yup I know of that one too. but we don't see it around here. mostly in prime mover power generation or the really big rock trucks.

Thats what we are running on most of our new pumps.

the QSK78s? on frac'ers? holy COW. definately haven't seen that kind of iron going to work here yet on a hole.

so heres a 1976 GV12 Cummins. question is what are the 3 lockwired rods in the block at each cylinder? V12 natural gas powered backup generator.
