High Reliability
- Anti-knock control and cylinder balancing protect the engine from overload and ensure reliable operation
- State-of-the-art turbocharger A140 with Wastegate ensures full performance even under high temperatures and higher altitudes
- Higher reliability and lower maintenance costs due to open combustion chamber technology
High Availability, High Profitability
- Miller valve timing and optimized compression ratios ensure high efficiency and low fuels costs
- More profit for your plant
- Long maintenance intervals and general overhaul only after 80,000 oh allow an operation of 10 years without general overhaul
- Flexible fields of application also with fluctuating gas qualities due to Total Electronic Management (TEM)
Optimized Lubrication Consumption
- Savings of up to 4,000 liters of lube oil per year compared to comparable gensets
- Improved components reduce lube oil consumption
- Lower operating costs due to 30% lower lube oil consumption in comparison to similar products
Cogeneration Up to 9% Savings
On owning and operating costs from improved efficiency
Up to 25% hydrogen blended fuel option
Enables operation of up to 25% hydrogen blend (by volume) with pipeline natural gas fuel.
Approximately 30% Lower lube oil consumption
leading to lower service costs and extended maintenance intervals
