- 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
- Improved output capacity of TCG 2020 K under non-ISO conditions and excellent load response through optimum turbocharger design with broad performance map
- New turbocharger TCR 16 for TCG 2020 with water-cooled bearing housing eliminates need for separate maintenance stages for the turbocharger
High Reliability – MWM Gas Engine TCG 2020 /
TCG 2020 K
Few Interruptions Due to Long Maintenance Intervals
- No more than two interruptions a year due to scheduled maintenance
- Longest 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
High Reliability through Mature Drive Technology in 60 Hz Range
- Engine can be operated with an optimum speed of 1500 RPM.
