Description – MWM 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
- 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, depending on application with water-cooled bearing housing, thus reducing maintenance costs 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 0.1 – 0.2 g/kWh, TCG 2016C sets competitive standards
- Lubricant savings of up to 50 percent compared to competitors
Lower Investment Costs – MWM Gas Engine TCG 2016
Niedrige Installationskosten dank kleiner Abmessungen
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
High Flexibility – MWM Gas Engine TCG 2016
TEM Control Enables Use of Diverse Gas Types
- Same electrical output with natural gas and biogas
- Further information on the TEM control
