- Load response in only seven steps
- Fast and reliable supply in the event of grid failures or in isolated operation
- Special 1,000 kWel variant available for high altitude setup and different intake air temperatures
Higher Efficiency and Lower Pollutant Emissions
- Smaller dead spaces in combustion chamber ensure more complete combustion
- Reduced fuel consumption and CO and HC emissions
- This enables gas savings of up to 15 percent a year and increases the profitability of the plant
Higher Efficiency and Long Maintenance Intervals
- Effective crankcase ventilation increases efficiency by utilizing the returned combustible blow-by gas
- Optimized blow-by return and improved separation of the gas phase and liquid phase enable longer maintenance intervals for the turbocharger thanks to the clean intake air
K Editions: Maximum Output at Low Costs
