Overview
Natural Gas and Coal Power Generation
From combined heat and power systems using natural gas for site backup to renewable biogas energy supporting the local electrical grid, or electricity generated from coal mine gases, Caterpillar offers a wide range of highly reliable gas-based electricity production solutions.
Advantages
Up to 50% More Efficient Oil Change Intervals
Reduced lubricating oil usage enables extended oil change intervals.
Up to 21% Maintenance Cost Savings
Extended maintenance intervals lead to reduced maintenance costs.
Up to 1900 L/year Reduced Lubricating Oil Consumption
Resulting in lower maintenance costs and extended maintenance intervals.
Key Features
- High Yield, Operating Cost Reduction
- Low Installation, Construction, and Operating Costs
- Optimized Lubricating Oil Consumption
High Yield, Operating Cost Reduction
Miller cycle tuning with the combustion chamber and improved spark plugs allow for up to 15% savings in natural gas fuel annually. The CG170 (non-Miller) is optimized for island mode operation. The gearbox helps reduce engine component wear, thereby decreasing operating costs and increasing availability
Low Installation, Construction, and Operating Costs
Extended and synchronized maintenance intervals up to 64,000 hours. Reduced fuel consumption due to enhancements in the combustion chamber and pre-chamber spark plugs. Various applications with variable gas quality thanks to comprehensive electronic management. Optimization of oil management
Optimized Lubricating Oil Consumption
Consumes up to 1,900 liters less lubricating oil annually compared to comparable models. Extended oil and lubricant change intervals
