GE’s Jenbacher Type 3 Gas Engines

Technical maturity and a high degree of reliability make GE’s Jenbacher type 3 gas engines a leader in the 500 to 1,100 kW power range. Long service intervals, a maintenance-friendly engine design, and low fuel consumption ensure maximum efficiency, while optimized components prolong service life—even when employing non-pipeline gases such as landfill gas.

Features & Benefits

Supercharger ensures homogenous mixture at low gas pressures
Two-stage mixture cooling enables high flexibility
Turbocharger bypass evens out extreme operating conditions
High-performance long-life spark plug enables reliable operation
LEANOX® lean burn control ensures minimal emissions
Compact construction allows installation in 40-foot container

Application
GE’s Jenbacher type 3 gas engines can be designed as generator sets, cogeneration systems, or a container. Depending on customer specifications, a variety of gas types can be used to increase overall efficiency levels, reduce industrial emissions, and optimize the integration of all available engine-related heat sources.

Applicable heat sources include engine cooling water, oil, mixture gas, and exhaust gas.

Customers can dispose of environmental pollutants from landfills, agriculture, chemical, and mining sites, while using the gases for power generation simultaneously.

Applicable gas types include: natural gas, associated petroleum gas (flare gas), propane, biogas, sewage gas, landfill gas, coal mine gas, and other special gases (e.g., coke, wood, and pyrolysis gases).
Regional Considerations

GE’s Jenbacher type 3 gas engines can be employed globally.
