Green Gas Engine
Kawasaki developed an epoch-making gas engine in 2007 with 48.5% electrical efficiency which standard equipment fitted with low NOx combustion system, and NOW the improved version with 49% efficiency is also available.
Our Green Gas Engine power plant will realize the better operation cost saving and at the same time achieve low emission which benefits the environment. These high efficiency gas engines can further bring down your operational cost in Simple cycle or Combined Heat & Power applications.
Features
• World-best 49% and 48.5% electrical efficiency
• Minimum impact on environment
Less than 200ppm (0.8g/kWh) @0% O2 NOx emission
• Wide continuous operation range
Flexible operation at load range of 30 - 100%
• High partial load efficiency
Approximately 45% electrical efficiency at 50% load
• Quick start - Less than 10 minutes from standstill to 100% load
