VISI Installs 2.25MW Generator in Downtown St. Paul

Watch as a 2.5MW generator is lowered into the basement of VISI's St. Paul Data Center. Some amazing crane work manuevers the generator above the skyway and down into the sub-basement.

The generator set is a 2.25eMW package using a Cat D3516 short stroke engine. On the side is a 6" oil cooler. A 2.5eMW engine is the long stroke version of the D3516 and has a 7" oil cooler for easy identification. The generator efficiency must be used in any calculations. The engine puts out 3401 bhp.

@Joshua543215

1hp is 745 watts

so 3,399 hp X 745 watts = 2,532,255 watts
