Highlights of Jenbacher Type 3 engines
Jenbacher Type 3 engines offer proven savings on service and fuel consumption, offering customers excellent efficiency.
- Two-stage mixture cooling enables high flexibility
- Turbocharger bypass evens out extreme operating conditions
- LEANOX* lean burn control ensures minimal emissions
Applicable gas types include: natural gas, associated petroleum gas (flare gas), propane, biogas, sewage gas, landfill gas, coal mine gas, other special gases (e.g. coke, wood, and pyrolysis gases).
Scope of supply:
Scope of supply, dedicated for applications, which require power generation only. If you are looking for simultaneous power and heat generation, please consider Combined Heat and Power Module (CHP Module) scope of supply.
Minimum scope of supply for genset:
- Engine and alternator installed on the frame
- Control panel
- Gas train
The scope of supply can be extended further with various balance of plant options (BOP), reach out to our specialists for help in selecting scope of supply and BOP options to fulfill your project’s needs.
Gensets can be installed inside a building or inside a container. To see more details about our containerized solutions, click here.
Combined Heat and Power Module (CHP Module) solutions allow customers to generate power and heat simultaneously at a very high total efficiencies, reaching 90% and even more.
Usual scope of supply:
- Engine and alternator installed on the frame
- Control panel, gas train
- Heat exchangers including exhaust gas heat exchanger
CHP Modules can generate hot water or steam at various parameters and can be integrated with your existing heat infrastructure. You can select the option that fits your project’s needs among the various heat recovery schemes provided by Jenbacher.
