Cat® CG260-16 (2800kW-4000kW) Gas Generator models offers high performance in a small package, allowing all facilities access to reliable & efficient power.
DESCRIPTION
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.Electric Power
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
