MWM TCG 3016 V16 S Gas Engine
High Efficiency and Performance, Small Footprint
Compact Performance for High Demands
The MWM TCG 3016 V16 S was developed especially for use with natural gas in 50 Hz networks. The unit delivers an electrical output of 1,000 kW and a thermal output of 1,100 kW. This makes the engine highly suitable for applications with high loads and continuous operation. Thanks to its compact design and high power density, energy production can be realized efficiently in a limited space.
High Efficiency Due to Low Operating Costs
The gas engine not only impresses with its technical performance, but also with an excellent ROI. The low investment and service costs enable fast refinancing of the entire plant. Electrical efficiency levels of up to 41.5% enable more efficient use of energy. The vibration-decoupled base frame further reduces installation costs and ensures stable operation under continuous load.
Easy Maintenance Thanks to Optimized Oil Management
Another feature of the TCG 3016 V16 S is its extremely low lubricating oil consumption of just 0.1 g/kWh. In combination with the large integrated oil volume and extended oil change intervals, this significantly reduces maintenance costs. The integrated oil and refill tanks facilitate handling, further reducing operating costs. In addition, the system can be intuitively monitored and controlled locally or remotely via the TPEM (Total Plant & Energy Management) control.
