Features

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

Savings

On owning and operating costs from improved efficiency

hydrogen blended fuel option

Enables operation of up to 25% hydrogen blend (by volume) with pipeline natural gas fuel.
