M 20 C

M 20 C

Overview

The main features of the diesel generator set M 20 C are ease of installation, reliable operation, ease of maintenance and easy component accessibility. Its base is the rigid frame which forms a foundation for both the engine and the generator set and includes an integral, large-capacity oil sump and universal fuel supply equipment covering both HFO and MDO operation. The M 20C has a wide range of application providing power for the continuous generation of electricity where a high level of reliability is important. The power range of the M20C engine series as a generator unit varies from 1,224 to 2,160 kVA.

Benefits & Features

HFO/MDO – Long TBO and lifetime

Long maintenance intervals and the life of components are the basis for low operating costs.

Complete engine

The engine is marketed with a standardized range of installed pumps and filters. Interfaces for fuel, lubricating oil and cooling water systems are located at the opposite end of the crankshaft coupling for ease of connection.

Reliable energy supply

The complete diesel generating set is notable for its ease of installation, reliable operation, ease of maintenance and good component accessibility. The basis is formed by the rigid base frame as foundation of the engine and alternator with integrated oil sump, large oil volume and universal equipment for both HFO and MDO operation.
