The MWM TCG 3016 gas engines are more than merely the next iteration of the proven MWM gas gensets: The new gas engines represent an entirely new development – perfectly tailored to the challenges of Industry 4.0 and the changed framework conditions of a dynamic market environment in the age of global value chains. Outstanding efficiency, reliability, flexibility, and environmental compatibility represent the basic pillars of the gas engines in the output range from 400 kWel to 1,000 kWel. Their innovative drive is especially evident from the greatly reduced fuel costs, the extremely low lubricant consumption, and the digitized power plant control TPEM.
MWM Retrofit Kits for Hydrogen Operation
The gas engines of the TCG 3016 series can be used for operation with a hydrogen admixture of up to 25 vol%. With the MWM retrofit kit in two editions, operators of existing plants can retrofit their gas engines for operation with a hydrogen admixture of up to 20 vol% or 25 vol%.
Description – MWM Gas Engine TCG 3016
High Efficiency, Low Operating Costs
- Highest efficiency in its output class through unique combination of long maintenance intervals (80,000 operating hours for natural gas) and high efficiency (electrical efficiency up to 43.5 percent)
- The only gas engine on the market that combines efficiency with robustness to such a high degree
- Thanks to the optimized combustion, the electrical efficiency has been improved, and the vibration and stress that many components are exposed to has been reduced significantly.
Reduced Installation and Building Costs
- Smaller setup area than for comparable gensets thanks to compact design and integrated tanks for daily refilling
- Due to the flanged genset concept, the vibration decoupling takes place directly between the gas engine and the base frame, so that the setup costs are lower than for other gas engines.
- Reduced investment costs thanks to expanded product scope and new digital power plant control TPEM (Total Plant & Energy Management)
- Thanks to the optimized new combustion chamber geometry, higher mixture circuit temperatures reduce the dry cooler investment costs and ensure steadier combustion.
- Further benefits and technological improvements: Water-cooled turbo charger, flanged genset concept, optimized flow control of the fuel gas mix and optimized oil management of the gas engine
Optimized Lubricant Managament
- Greatly reduced oil consumption of 0.1 g/kWhel. Thus, the TCG 3016 gas engine boasts the lowest lubricant consumption in its class.
- Longer oil change intervals through innovative, leading-edge lubricant management
- Lubricant change intervals of up to 4,000 operating hours for natural gas and biogas (high and medium gas quality)*
- Up to 66 percent lower lubricant consumption compared to competitors
* Oil change must be performed after oil analysis
