TCG 3042: Big on Performance, small on Space.

Maximum Efficiency, Fast Installation, Optimum Space Utilization

Output range from 9,830 kW_el to 10,300 kW_el
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 kW_el to 10,300 kW_el 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
