Recent measurements, field tests, and further development of the model series show that MWM has succeeded in reducing the lubricant consumption of the gas engines.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<table class=\"reference-data\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"text-align:left;\">\r\n    <colgroup>\r\n        <col width=\"20%\" \/>\r\n        <col width=\"20%\" \/>\r\n        <col width=\"30%\" \/>\r\n        <col width=\"30%\" \/>\r\n    <\/colgroup>\r\n    <thead>\r\n        <tr>\r\n            <th class=\"border\">Gas engine<\/th>\r\n            <th class=\"border\">Gas type<\/th>\r\n            <th class=\"border\">Service category<\/th>\r\n            <th>Lubricant consumption<\/th>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n    <\/thead>\r\n    <tbody>\r\n        <tr class=\"odd\">\r\n            <td class=\"border\">TCG 2016<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">Natural gas<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">400 \/ 600 \/ 800 kW<sub>el<\/sub><\/td>\r\n            <td>0.20 g\/kWh<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr class=\"even\">\r\n            <td class=\"border\">TCG 2016<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">Natural gas<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">515 kW<sub>el<\/sub><\/td>\r\n            <td>0.10 g\/kWh<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr class=\"odd\">\r\n            <td class=\"border\">TCG 2016<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">Biogas<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">400 \/ 600 \/ 800 kW<sub>el<\/sub><\/td>\r\n            <td>0.10 g\/kWh<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr class=\"even\">\r\n            <td class=\"border\">TCG 2020<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">Natural gas<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">1000 \/ 1200 \/ 1560 \/ 2000 kW<sub>el<\/sub><\/td>\r\n            <td>0.15 g\/kWh<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr class=\"odd\">\r\n            <td class=\"border\">TCG 2020<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">Biogas<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">1200 \/ 1560 \/ 2000 kW<sub>el<\/sub><\/td>\r\n            <td>0.15 g\/kWh<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr class=\"even\">\r\n            <td class=\"border\">TCG 2032<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">Natural gas<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">3333 \/ 4300 \/ 3000 \/ 4000 kW<sub>el<\/sub><\/td>\r\n            <td>0.20 g\/kWh<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr class=\"odd\">\r\n            <td class=\"border\">TCG 2032<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">Biogas<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">3770 \/ 3510 kW<sub>el<\/sub><\/td>\r\n            <td>0.20 g\/kWh<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr class=\"even\">\r\n            <td class=\"border\">TCG 2032B<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">Natural gas<\/td>\r\n            <td class=\"border\">4500 \/ 4050 kW<sub>el<\/sub><\/td>\r\n            <td>0.20 g\/kWh<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n    <\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Previous values:<\/h2>\r\n<ul style=\"clear:both;\">\r\n<li>TCG 2016: 0.2 g\/kWh<\/li>\r\n<li>TCG 2020: 0.2 g\/kWh<\/li>\r\n<li>TCG 2032: 0.3 g\/kWh<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Reduced Operating Costs of CHP Plants<\/h2>\r\n<p>The main advantage for the customer is the reduction of the oil consumption and the associated financial savings. For example, the lubricant consumption of the MWM TCG 2032 gas engine series has been reduced by 0.1 g\/kWh (from 0.3 g\/kWh to 0.2 g\/kWh). Based on an electrical output of 4,500 kW<sub>el<\/sub> the operator of an MWM combined heat and power (CHP) plant thus saves 450 g of lubricant an hour. Assuming 8,000 operating hours a year, the lubricant savings total 3,600 kg. Expressed in volume and hard currency, this means a significant reduction of operating costs.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Further information:<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a title=\"Gas Engines \/ Gensets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mwm.net\/en\/gas-engines-gensets\/\">MWM gas engines<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a title=\"Gas engine TCG 2032\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mwm.net\/en\/gas-engines-gensets\/gas-engine-tcg-2032\/\">MWM TCG 2032 gas engine<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a title=\"Distributed Power Plants\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mwm.net\/en\/distributed-power-plants\/\">MWM combined heat and power plants<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The optimized lubricant consumption of some MWM gas engines enables plant operators to save money. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) -
