More profit
The TCG 2020 is highly efficient thanks to its opti-
mized inlet duct, combustion chamber and spark
plugs. Save as much as 15 % per annum on fuel costs
– and increase your plant’s profitability.

Less overall cost

With its optimized engine components, the TCG 2020
requires up to 50 % less lubricating oil than other
similar gensets. In terms of efficiency that means
long-term savings.

Different engines to suit your needs

Whether you need high efficiency or an optimized
standalone unit with good load compensation and
black start properties – we can provide you with an
engine tailored exactly to your needs.

Optimum control concept

TEM (Total Electronic Management) controls not just
the engine but the entire system including the heat
supply from cogeneration. Temperature monitoring
for each cylinder and anti-knock control ensure the
best possible utilization of fuel and maximum power
output, even if gas composition fluctuates.

Flexible usage
The latest technology such as our gas-mixer and TEM
allows you to use a wide variety of gases. Even the
most problematic gases such as colliery gas, landfill
gas and sewage gas can be used without difficulty. TCG 2020 V20
