CG260-12
CG260 Gas Generator Set
Cat® CG260-12 2100kW-3000kW(3MW) Gas Generators feature high efficiency & outputs with smaller sizes, allowing reliable power generation in all facilities.
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 PowerHigh 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
