Low operating costs - gas engine tcg 2016
Consumes up to 15 percent less gas than comparable gensets thanks to its best-of-class efficiency
- special piston variants with different compression for biogas and natural gas operation
- optimized gas exchange and camshaft, spark plugs with integrated pre-combustion chamber
- even load balancing over the individual cylinders enables higher load level and maximum utilization of the engine reserves in terms of output and efficiency
- new closed crankcase ventilation optimizes combustion and increases efficiency by utilizing the blow-by gas
- consistent downsizing of dead spaces improves complete combustion of the gas mixture, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and hc and co emissions and higher efficiency
Long Service Intervals
- no more than two interruptions a year due to scheduled maintenance
- longest time interval until major overhaul compared to competitors
- use of xchange components enables time savings of up to 75 percent during the major overhaul, resulting in reduced costs
- turbocharger for tcg 2016c series with water-cooled bearing housing eliminates need for separate maintenance stages for turbocharger
- no contamination of the turbocharger compressor thanks to improved separation of gas and liquid phase, resulting in long maintenance intervals
Very Low Lubricant Consumption
- with its lubricant consumption of only 0.2 g/kwh, tcg 2016c sets competitive standards
- lubricant savings of up to 50 percent compared to competitors
Low installation costs thanks to smaller dimensions
- Compact genset design saves investment costs through smaller engine space and fewer plant peripherals
- Setup space up to 50 percent smaller than for comparable gensets
Tem control enables use of diverse gas types
- Same electrical output with natural gas and biogas
