Overview
From natural gas-fueled combined heat and power (CHP) systems and emergency power for facilities, to renewable biogas energy to support the local grid, or electricity generated from coal mine gases, Caterpillar has a wide range of reliable gas power solutions.
Specifications
Units:
| Continuous Rating | 3333 / 3000 ekW @1.0pf |
| Fuel Type | Natural Gas, Coal Gas, Hydrogen Blend (up to 25%) |
| Maximum Electrical Efficiency | 43.90% |
Benefits & Features
High Reliability
- Anti-knock control and cylinder balancing protect the engine from overload and ensure reliable operation
- State-of-the-art turbocharger A140 with Wastegate ensures full performance even under high temperatures and higher altitudes
- Higher reliability and lower maintenance costs due to open combustion chamber technology
High Availability, High Profitability
- Miller valve timing and optimized compression ratios ensure high efficiency and low fuels costs
- More profit for your plant
- Long maintenance intervals and general overhaul only after 80,000 oh allow an operation of 10 years without general overhaul
- Flexible fields of application also with fluctuating gas qualities due to Total Electronic Management (TEM)
Optimized Lubrication Consumption
- Savings of up to 4,000 liters of lube oil per year compared to comparable gensets
- Improved components reduce lube oil consumption
- Lower operating costs due to 30% lower lube oil consumption in comparison to similar products
