Gas engine TCG 2016

Gas engine TCG 2016 - Facts and Figures

• Output range from 400 to 800 kWe
• Runs on all gas types: natural gas, biogas, landfill gas, sewage gas, mine gas, etc.
• Mainly used for biogas plants and small CHP plants in Europe
• Highest electrical efficiency in the output range up to 1,000 kWe
• More than 1900 power generators with approximately 1,000,000 kWe already installed around the globe

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

Lower Investment Costs - Gas Engine TCG 2016

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 - Gas Engine TCG 2016

TEM Control Enables Use of Diverse Gas Types

• Same electrical output with natural gas and biogas
