Opening of Center of Excellence
The center is located in a primary hub of engineering and technology for the oil and gas industry, and represents a significant investment by Cummins Inc.
The first Cummins Offshore Oil and Gas Center of Excellence is located in Singapore, geographically positioned in a global center of oil platform and shipbuilding and the home of related suppliers. Both facilities deliver a wide range of customized and integrated power packages specifically designed to the needs of each individual oil and gas customer.
The new Cummins Oil and Gas Center of Excellence will be fully operational at the end of June 2011. The new building features office and meeting spaces, assembly cells, a paint booth and two test cells physically sized for up to a 78-liter engine. The two test cells with AVL instrumentation and testing system are capable of supporting both engineering and production testing and testing of mechanical or electrical drive systems up to 3500 hp (2610 kWe). The test facility is capable of conditioning the intake air up to 50 degrees Celsius for high ambient temperature testing, as well as supporting standard 23 degrees Celsius test conditions. All data is stored through a high-speed data acquisition system that ties directly into Cummins global test database.
