Overview

1560 KW Generator Set

From natural gas-fueled combined heat and power (CHP) systems and emergency power for facilities, to renewable biogas energy to support the local grid, or electricity generated from coal mine gases, Caterpillar has a wide range of reliable gas power solutions.

Benefits

Greater oil change interval

Lower lube oil consumption leading to greater time interval between lube oil changes

savings on service

Extended maintenance intervals leading to lower service costs

Lower lube oil consumption

leading to lower service costs and extended maintenance intervals

Features at a Glance

High Efficiency, Lower Operating Costs

Miller cycle timing with combustion chamber and spark plug improvement help on saving up to 15% fuel gas per year
CG170 (non-miller) is optimized for Island-Mode capability
Gearbox helps limit wear and tear on engine components, lowering operating costs and increasing availability

Low installation, Building and Operating Costs

Extended maintenance intervals thanks to sooth-free combustion and enlarged oil tank
Low fuel consumption due to improved combustion chamber and pre-chamber spark-plugs
Flexible fields of application also with fluctuating gas qualities due to Total Electronic Management (TEM)
Optimized oil management

Optimized Lubrication Consumption

Consumes up to 1900 liter less lube oil per year than comparable models<\li>
Longer lubricant change and oil change intervals<\li>
