Jenbacher Type 3 Mechanical Drive

The Next Step in Mechanical Drive Technology

GE's Jenbacher J312 GMD and J316 GMD represent the next generation of gas engines for mechanical drive applications. With 675 and 900 horsepower at 1,800 rpm, these engines are compact power packages of excellent technical maturity providing a high degree of reliability. More than 4,000 Jenbacher Type 3 gas engines for power generation are already installed worldwide. Fueled by a broad variety of gases, from natural gas to associated wellhead gas and from landfill gas to coal mine gas, they have proven their reliability for almost 20 years. Long service intervals, maintenance-friendly engine design and low fuel consumption ensure maximum efficiency in our Jenbacher Type 3 engines, the technology platform for our first two Mechanical Drive engines. Both engines can be packaged with most of the compressors offered commercially.
