POWER GENERATION
MTU OnSite Energy has developed 10 new gaseous-fueled generator sets for prime power
and standby applications. The new units cover an output range of 130 to 400 k W and are
driven by Doosan gaseous-fuel engines.
EXPANDING IN GAS
MTU Onsite Energy develops natural gas and propane-powered
gen-sets for ag applications
In a significant expansion of its gaseous-fueledproductline, MTU Onsite Energy has launched 10
new natural gas and liquid propane
gas generator sets for prime power
and standby applications. The new
units cover an overall power range
of 130 to 400 kW and are targeted
primarily toward agricultural applications, though they can also be used
toward a broad range of applications,
including office buildings, commercial
industrial buildings, apartment com-plexes, residential communities and
agricultural applications.
“Gaseous generator sets fill an
important role in providing standby
power at remote locations, either run-
ning on natural gas or on LP gas,”
said Al Prosser, director of sales for
MTU Onsite Energy. “They are also
economical to run due to the lower
cost of gaseous fuel, and they provide
a high level of reliability due to supe-
rior design and performance testing.”
The Mankato, Minn.-based Tognum
subsidiary previously offered gaseous
fueled gen-sets from 30 to 130 kW
range, noted Krista Ahlers, market-
ing manager at MTU Onsite Energy.
“We used to have our product line
all the way to 800 kW, but we had a
transition that brought it down to 130
kW,” she said. “With this transition,
we’re able to bring our product line up
to 400 kW, a product line we always
wanted to be in.”
Five of the gen-sets are designed
for prime power (130 to 300 k W), with
the remainder designated for standby
applications (150 to 400 kW). The
prime power gen-sets use natural gas
engines, while the standby units can
use either natural gas, LP gas or both,
Ahlers said.
