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)
