TCG 3042: Big on Performance, small on Space.
Maximum Efficiency, Fast Installation, Optimum Space Utilization
- Output range from 9,830 kWel to 10,300 kWel
- Best total efficiency of 93 percent and best electrical efficiency of 48 percent
- Suitable for all natural gas applications in countries with 50 and 60 Hz networks
- Fewer components through modular design and integral structure ensure moderate need for space compared to conventional designs
- Greatly reduced operating costs through easy maintenance and long maintenance intervals
- For cogeneration power plant applications, it is also possible to toggle between summer and winter mode
The MWM gas engines of the TCG 3042 series are spark-ignited engines that make use of the lean-burn principle. The single-stage turbocharged, charge air cooled 20-cylinder engines achieve an electrical efficiency of up to 48 percent and a total efficiency of up to 93 percent. The natural gas-fired gensets reach outputs of 9,830 kWel to 10,300 kWel with a consistently high efficiency. Furthermore, the use of a spark plug-operated pre-combustion chamber enables combustion with low emissions.
Description - Gas Engine TCG 3042
Future-Proof through High Flexibility
- Suitable for all natural gas applications in countries with 50 and 60 Hz networks
- Configurations are available for high setup altitudes, high intake air temperatures, and various fuel gas types with different methane numbers
- Depending on the application scenario, the TCG 3042 can be optimized for combined heat and power (CHP) generation or for power generation only
- For cogeneration power plant applications, it is also possible to toggle between summer and winter mode
- Two differently designed coolant circuits can be combined with three different thermodynamic engine layouts
Easy Installation in Small Spaces
- Reduced complexity of standard modular design allows an easy and quick installation of the gas engine
- The modest need for space between gensets saves space when installing multiple engines
Easy Maintenance, Low Operating Costs
- High reliability, modular design, and integral structure reduce the number of components by 40 percent compared to conventional designs and facilitate the maintenance of the gas engine
- Easy maintenance in conjunction with long maintenance intervals results in low operating costs and a long service life
- High availability and accessibility through monobloc, dry engine block with integrated charge air channel and oil pipe
Reliability and Availability
- Reliable, proven, highly efficient single-stage turbocharging system
- Classification company standards ensure high reliability and quality
- Smart simplicity ensures a robust engine platform
- Optimized maintenance plans ensure high availability and durability
Optimized for Isolated Operation and Non-ISO Conditions
- Load response is possible in only six steps
- Fast and reliable supply in the event of grid failures or in isolated operation
- The modular structure optimizes the engine for operation with low methane number, setup at high altitudes, or high outside temperatures
