Building on the success and experience of the nationally-deployed “Firelink” project, Harrington Generators International Ltd (HGI) have forged ahead with their latest application of the well-proven Vanguard 570 V-twin gas engine.

Stringent Government requirements aim to make every new building carbon-neutral by 2016. This challenge to architects and contractors will flow down to energy providers and equipment manufacturers and requires a fundamental shift in thinking.

Working with a major integrator of renewable energy technologies, HGI have successfully developed an LPG option for their innovative SKD65 cabin generator. While this unit already demonstrates power density unprecedented in air-cooled IC engine installations, the addition of the LPG option takes HGI further into the rapidly expanding and developing world of green energy solutions.

Installed in a cabin equipped with the latest in low-consumption appliances and a high-tech solar-panelled roof, the Vanguard-powered SKG (for Gas!) 65 provides support for those times when renewable sources can’t deliver. With CO2 emissions up to 15% lower than the equivalent petrol system and particulate emissions up to 90% lower than a comparable diesel, the LPG-powered SKG65 makes the ideal environmentally-conscious power partner.

HGI have over 1000 installations supporting mission critical communications for the UK’s emergency services and with some units having excess of 18000 operating hours, the Vanguard 570 was a clear front-runner for the new application. The clear and obvious benefits of the LPG fuel closed the case, and the SKG65 was born.

LPG brings so much to the party – cleaner running, lower maintenance, simpler control, safer bulk storage and of course above all, a lower environmental impact.

With the now-legendary Vanguard 570 reliability at its heart, the HGI SKG65 presents the clear choice in low-emissions power supply.
