Benefits & Features

Engine Design

- Industry-leading power with ambient-based rating capability - ADEM4 engine control system provides complete engine control, monitoring, and protection while maintaining emissions. - Widest fuel tolerance in the industry for application flexibility - Proven reliability and durability with the lowest owning and operating costs - Factory-installed thermostats

Emissions

Meets U.S. EPA Spark Ignited Stationary NSPS Emissions for 2010 with the use of an oxidation catalyst

Lean Burn Engine Technology

Lean-burn engines operate with large amounts of excess air. The excess air absorbs heat during combustion reducing the combustion temperature and pressure, greatly reducing levels of NOx. Lean-burn design also provides longer component life and excellent fuel consumption.
