Overview
Gas and Coal Power Generation Group
From natural gas cogeneration systems for electricity and heat, backup power supply for sites, renewable biogas energy to support the local electrical grid, to electricity generated from coal mine gases, Caterpillar offers a wide range of highly reliable gas-based electricity production solutions.
Advantages
Cogeneration for Up to 4% Cost Savings
in operating costs through improved efficiency
Up to 24% Maintenance Savings
Extended maintenance intervals, reducing maintenance costs
Approximately 30% Reduced Lubrication Oil Consumption
for lower maintenance costs and extended maintenance intervals
Key Features
- Excellent Reliability
- High Availability Equals Productivity
- Optimized Lubricating Oil Consumption
Excellent Reliability
Detonation control and cylinder balancing protect the engine from overheating and ensure reliable operation. The state-of-the-art A140 turbocharger with overboost pressure limiter guarantees optimal performance even at high temperatures and high altitudes. The open combustion chamber enhances reliability and reduces maintenance costs
High Availability Equals Productivity
Synchronized Miller valve timing and optimized compression ratios ensure high efficiency and reduced fuel costs. Maximize your factory's profitability. Long intervals between maintenance and a major overhaul after only 80,000 hours of operation allow for 10 years of use without a major overhaul. Various applications with variable gas quality thanks to comprehensive electronic management
Optimized Lubricating Oil Consumption
Lubricating oil savings of up to 4,000 liters per year compared to similar generators. Optimized components contribute to reducing lubricating oil consumption. Lower operating costs due to a 30% reduction in lubricating oil consumption compared to similar products
