MAN Presents Two-Staged-Turbocharged Gas Engines

MAN Diesel & Turbo reported that in aggregate, the 18.9 MW 51/60G TS engine reaches a mechanical efficiency of 50.7% in single-cycle applications. The company also said the 20.7 MW machine is the most powerful gas engine currently available on the market.

MAN Diesel & Turbo has announced a new line of two-stage-turbocharged gas engines that will be introduced at the Power-Gen Europe show in Amsterdam, in June 2015.

The new line comprehends two MAN spark-ignited gas engine models – 35/44G and 51/60G – that are now also available with two-stage turbochargers.

Thanks to two turbochargers – one low-pressure and one high-pressure arranged in series – two-stage turbocharging achieves high efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, said MAN Diesel & Turbo.

The 35/44G TS is available in 12V and 20V-cylinder versions with mechanical outputs of 7.4 and 12.4 MW, while the 51/60G TS can be delivered as an 18-cylinder version with outputs of 18.9 and 20.7 MW.
