Madrid, Spain (February 6, 2025) - HIMOINSA, part of the Yanmar Group, is a manufacturer of Power Technology Solutions that designs and produces generator sets, battery storage systems, lighting towers, automatic transfer switches, monitoring controls and accessories, for backup and continuous power supply.
With the most anticipated HGY series, HIMOINSA is going to start its world tour with Data Centre World – the world’s largest data centre series of conferences and exhibitions in London, Frankfurt, Singapore, Madrid and Paris, to present the most cutting-edge data centre power solution to the worldwide experts, end-users and visitors.
Launched in October last year, the HGY series is born as a key player in the power generation industry, combining cutting-edge technology in power generation, ensuring highest reliability and superior performance, leading the market in critical mission projects. Packed by powerful GY engines, the HGY series covers power nodes from 1250 kVA to 4000 kVA and is ready for alternative fuels like hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), and gas and hydrogen in the future.
“The new HGY marks the start of a new chapter in the story of critical power generation,” said Francisco Gracia, President and CEO of HIMOINSA. “And we are excited to show this powerful solution to the global customers at Data Centre World exhibitions!" The HGY series integrates HIMOINSA's expertise in the power generation with Yanmar's innovative technology and engine manufacturing experience, presenting a significant step forward to reinforce HIMOINSA's growth in the global market for mission critical applications.
ENGINE | HEART OF OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
At the heart of every genset there lies an internal combustion engine, converting fuel into energy. The GY series is a new family of 12-, 16- and 20-cylinder engines managed by state-of-the-art electronic control, and with a common rail injection system. It combines the unique combustion technology for high-speed engines with the reliability of medium-speed engines, ensuring high performance and efficiency, supporting operations in extreme conditions, compact footprint, multiple fuel capabilities and low emissions. The GY engine series is a perfect example of Quality, Efficiency, Reliability and Durability.
- Common-rail Fuel Injection Systems and High-Pressure Pump: generates up to 2,200-bar injection pressure for maximum efficiency, optimizing the combustion pressure curve through multiple injections.
- High Power Density: The HGY Series delivers exceptional performance in terms of emissions and power density (up to 37.9kWm/L). The high specific power density reduces footprint and has a great impact on the total life cycle carbon footprint.
- Single Cylinder Prototype: The design of the piston head and the fluid analysis is key for engine efficiency and performance. Yanmar has spent thousands of engineering hours in this stage of the development.
- Fast Response: Fuel injection makes a huge difference in the power generation application where the speed of response is vital. The ECU can react to sudden changes in speed in milliseconds. Engine starting in less than 8 seconds. This engine can perform within ISO8528-5 G3 class conditions.
- Intuitive Engine Control Unit (ECU): The ECU includes several physical parameters for optimal control of the injection system. The control system includes integrated, intuitive, operable diagnostic software, which allows remote monitoring of the engine and generator.
FUEL CONSUMPTION | BEST-IN-CLASS
Outstanding performance with optimized fuel consumption is achieved through GY engines’ new common rail high-pressure fuel injection system, piston design and high-power density. The HGY series boasts outstanding, state-of-the-art technology that significantly reduces operation costs and emissions. Thanks to their remarkably low fuel consumption, GY engines are ranked best in class in terms of fuel oil consumption (FOC) optimization, making them one of the most efficient and competitive options on the market. Fuel consumption remains unchanged with HVO.
SUSTAINABILITY & PUE REDUCTION (Power Usage Effectiveness)
Data centres consume a significant amount of electricity. Due to the fast-growing artificial intelligence and digitalization, the electricity needs from data centres exceeded 2% of the world’s demand and projected to rise to 13% by 2030.
HIMOINSA explores energy optimization strategies for Data Centers back-up & continuous power. Emphasizing the recovery of waste heat to be used in our generator sets. It highlights how this recovered heat can significantly reduce operational fix costs, enhance energy efficiency, and improve sustainability. Our team will be ready to discuss and advise to the visitors how the integration of heat exchangers, and the role of solar energy in auxiliary power solutions impact on Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).
Considering that sustainability has become a top priority, our HGY Series has been designed to ensure a sustainable power supply for mission-critical project:
- Emission Control
To cope with the increasing scrutiny for environmental impacts, our HGY generators are equipped with exhaust after-treatment systems to meet European, German, and British regulations for mid-combustion plants operating more than 300 or 500 hours. The HGY series includes an EPA Tier 2 certified version for emergency applications in the United States, as well as compliance with NEA regulations in Singapore. - Fuel Flexibility
HGY generators are compatible with renewable fuels such as HVO, its vegetable origin reduces CO2 emissions and lowers the impact on the environment. The HGY series will accommodate the future development of gas and hydrogen generators, significantly reducing emissions and carbon footprint. This is a remarkable step towards environmental responsibility and will help support end-users in their strategy to attain Net Zero. - Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
To validate the reduction in emissions, EPD is provided, which includes comprehensive information on the environmental impact at each stage of a product’s life cycle, helps customers to make sustainable purchasing decisions and implement low-carbon strategies.
RELIABILITY (Power Usage Effectiveness)
In data centres, any power failure may affect the continuous operation of IT equipment, cooling systems and related infrastructure, directly leads to potential data loss and innumerable revenue impacts. Reliable power supply is absolutely critical for data centre security where every second counts. The HGY series is designed to provide comprehensive protection against power failures, offering a secure, continuous and reliable power supply. With a response time of less than eight seconds, the HGY series is fully compliant with ISO8528-5 G3 class, ensuring no interruption in the flow of data, minimizes the risk of failure and maximizes uptime.
SERVICEABILITY & EXTENDED SERVICES INTERVALS
Easy maintenance and accessibility are seamlessly integrated into the design of the HGY series. All the engine consumable parts including the oil filling point, fuel and air filters are conveniently located at the same side.
In addition, most parts including fuel filters, fuel pumps and injectors are compatible across various engine versions and models, increasing the flexibility to share common components among GY engines, reducing spare parts inventory for customer notably, and bringing more efficient engine servicing and more streamlined technician training.
The HGY Series offers extended service intervals, featuring a top overhaul interval of 10.000 hours and a major overhaul interval of up to 30,000 hours for continuous operation.
MANAGEMENT PLATFORM | USER-FRIENDLY
The HGY series comes with a comprehensive management platform that enables remote monitoring, control, and maintenance of power generators, providing real-time tracking of critical parameters, automatic alerts for faults or anomalies, and tools for proactive maintenance planning, all aimed at maximizing operational efficiency and minimizing downtime.
Additionally, it features advanced reporting and data analysis capabilities, empowering informed decision-making and ensuring optimal performance of generators across any location.
From scalable infrastructure to energy-efficient operations, the data centres are evolving rapidly to meet the demands of a digital and sustainable future. Through the HGY series, we understand the importance of reducing the carbon footprint, offering a 360º comprehensive power solution from construction to daily operations.
