Cat gas gensets for reliable power supply

The gas gensets of the CG132 B series offer outstanding benefits for efficient and cost-effective power supply. With an optimized oil consumption of only 0.1 g/kWhel, this series sets new standards in its class. The units enable longer oil change intervals, further facilitated by the integrated oil tank and day tank.

Thanks to low installation and operating costs, the CG132 B series proves to be highly economical. It offers an impressively long operating life before major overhauls, which can reach up to 80,000 operating hours with natural gas operation. The vibration-isolated base frame ensures easy installation and supports reliable operation throughout its service life.

The high availability and service life of the CG132 B units are further supported by optimized combustion technologies that ensure even cylinder charging and reduce peak pressures. This makes the units particularly smooth-running and minimizes vibrations during operation.

Another advantage is the improved turbocharger, which allows for longer maintenance intervals and provides a wider temperature window for intake air. With these technical benefits, the CG132 B series units offer a reliable and powerful solution for a wide range of applications.

The gas gensets of the CG170 series offer an efficient and cost-effective solution for power generation, with a particularly high output range of 1,000 to 2,300 kW. They are flexible in fuel usage and can operate with various types of gas, including natural gas, biogas, and propane. These units achieve electrical efficiencies of up to 45.3%, ensuring high energy yield and optimizing heat recovery.

The CG170 series is particularly robust and designed for a wide range of environmental conditions. Whether faced with fluctuating temperatures, high humidity, or varying air pressure conditions, the units provide reliable performance and low carbon emissions. With this efficiency and environmental friendliness, the CG170 gensets are ideal for applications where reliability and sustainability are key, such as in industrial plants and decentralized power generation.

Another feature of the CG170 series is its compatibility with hydrogen: the units can operate with up to 25% hydrogen. Zeppelin Power Systems also offers retrofit kits that enable existing units to be equipped for use with hydrogen blends, thereby enhancing the flexibility and future-proofing of the systems.

With optimized combustion technology, reduced maintenance requirements, and adaptable control systems, the CG170 gas gensets provide a durable and powerful solution for various applications. This combination of efficiency, robustness, and future readiness makes the CG170 series an ideal choice for sustainable and economical power supply.

The Cat gas gensets of the 3500 H series provide reliable and flexible power supply solutions in the range of 1,500 kW to 2,500 kW for demanding applications. These units are designed for maximum efficiency and durability, with a robust construction that ensures consistent operation even under challenging conditions. With a wide range of customization options—including various generators, controls, exhaust options, as well as communication modules and battery chargers—the 3500 H series models can be easily tailored to meet specific customer requirements.

A standout feature of the 3500 H series is its ability to operate both environmentally friendly and cost-effectively. In addition to natural gas as the primary fuel, these units can utilize hydrogen blends of up to 25% by volume, further reducing operating costs and emissions. The G3516 H model can even operate with 100% hydrogen, offering a particularly sustainable solution. This flexibility makes the 3500 H series not only a reliable choice for power generation but also a future-proof investment for companies looking to improve their carbon footprint.

The 3500 H units offer an economically and environmentally conscious option for industries and other energy-intensive applications with their optimized design and low maintenance requirements.

The CG260 gas generator offers outstanding efficiency and performance. With improvements in turbocharging, system control, and optimized pre-chamber spark plugs, it achieves an electrical efficiency of up to 44.8%. This ensures exceptionally high energy yield and low operating costs.

Thanks to optimized engine components, the CG260 consumes up to 30% less lubricating oil than comparable gas generators, leading to reduced service costs. The particulate-free combustion and chamber spark plugs enable longer maintenance intervals and improved heat utilization, extending the operating time by an average of 200 hours per year compared to other systems.

The CG260 is also reliable in demanding environments. Thanks to the new high-performance wastegate turbocharger A140, the unit can operate at full capacity even with intake air temperatures of up to 45°C (113°F), ensuring stable load behavior even at higher altitudes.
