Overview

3000 KW Gas & Coal 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

Savings

On owning and operating costs from improved efficiency

hydrogen blended fuel option

Enables operation of up to 25% hydrogen blend (by volume) with pipeline natural gas fuel.

Lower lube oil consumption

leading to lower service costs and extended maintenance intervals

Features at a Glance

High Reliability

Anti-knock control and cylinder balancing protect the engine from overload and ensure reliable operation
State-of-the-art turbocharger A140 with Wastegate ensures full performance even under high temperatures and higher altitudes
Higher reliability and lower maintenance costs due to open combustion chamber technology

High Availability, High Profitability

Miller valve timing and optimized compression ratios ensure high efficiency and low fuels costs
More profit for your plant
Long maintenance intervals and general overhaul only after 80,000 oh allow an operation of 10 years without general overhaul
Flexible fields of application also with fluctuating gas qualities due to Total Electronic Management (TEM)

Optimized Lubrication Consumption

Savings of up to 4,000 liters of lube oil per year compared to comparable gensets
Improved components reduce lube oil consumption
Lower operating costs due to 30% lower lube oil consumption in comparison to similar products
