Cummins QSK38 builds on legendary engine
Building on the recognized success of its V12 38-litre KV Series, Cummins QSK38 has taken the durability of the base engine and enhanced it with the technology of the Cummins Quantum System electronics and Modular Common Rail fuel system found on its Tier 2 QSK50 and QSK60 engines. This performance and technology upgrade ensures not only Tier 2 emissions compliance but also quieter operation, better fuel economy, smoother power delivery and better idle stability.
The QSK38 engine, rated at 900 to 1,500 hp (671 to 1119 kW), provides up to 4,570 lb-ft (6197 Nm) of torque at 1,000 rpm. It is ideal for the durability, reliability and power density requirements of high-hour and Control Costs and hard-duty cycle applications such as mud pumps, SCR drill modules, mining ex- Operations cavators and haul trucks. Productivity Cummins has been able to optimize the Customer in-cylinder combustion system to meet Tier 2 NOx levels without increasing displacement or making significant configuration changes, which means minimal installation impact.
Proven single-piece FCD pistons allow for high cylinder pressures and increased power output, contributing to more than a 10 percent increase in life-to-overhaul while reducing maintenance costs.
Cummins Advanced Engine Monitoring (AEM) system provides a high level of visibility into the engine's performance in the field with extended data logging capturing operator beneficial information on fuel consumption, duty cycle and load factor, operational trends, fault snapshots, and shutdown information. The AEM can integrate with equipment-based information systems and also provide a means for rapid troubleshooting.
