Typical heat data is shown, however no guarantee is expressed or implied. Consult your Dresser Waukesha Application Engineering Department for system
application assistance.
All natural gas engine ratings are based on a fuel of 900 Btu/ft3 (35.3 MJ/nm3) SLHV, with a 91 WKI®. For conditions or fuels other than standard, consult the
Dresser Waukesha Application Engineering Department.
Data based on standard conditions of 77°F (25°C) ambient temperature, 29.53 inches Hg (100kPa) barometric pressure, 30% relative humidity (0.3 inches HG / 1
kPa water vapor pressure).
Fuel consumption based on ISO3046/1-1995 with a tolerance of +5% for commercial quality natural gas having a 900 BTU/ft3 (35.3 MJ/nm3) SLHV.
Heat data based on fuel consumption +2%.
Heat rejection based on cooling exhaust temperature to 77°F (25°C).
Rating Standard: The Waukesha Enginator ratings are based on ISO 3046/1-1995 with an engine mechanical efficiency of 90% and auxiliary water tempera-
ture Tcra as specified limited to ±10°F (±5°C). Ratings also valid for ISO 8528 and DIN 6271, BS 5514 standard atmospheric conditions.
Continuous Power Rating: The highest electrical power output of the Enginator available for an unlimited number of hours per year, less maintenance. It is
permissable to operate the Enginator with up to 10% overload for two hours in each 24 hour period.
Standby Power Rating: This rating applies to those systems used as a secondary source of electrical power. This rating is the electrical power output of the
Enginator (no overload) 24 hours a day, for the duration of a power source outage.
