HEIZWERKBETRIEBSGESELLSCHAFT
REUTLINGEN, GERMANY
This district power and heating plant had been operating Cat G3520C
generator sets at total system efficiency near 100 percent based on
condensing heat exchangers and industrial heat pumps. When a
new plant was commissioned in 2012 with a next generation G3516H,
the plant manager declared it “the easiest genset startup we’ve seen.”
C SERIES
RESPONSIVE AND DURABLE
HARDENED AGAINST
CONTAMINANTS
Since 2005, the C Series has become the industry
leader for operation on landfill gas, agricultural
biogas and sewage gas fuels. Specially treated
aftercooler cores, cylinder heads and rear
gear train bearings are hardened against
corrosive biogas elements. Elevated jacket
water temperatures and crankcase ventilation
discourage harmful acidic condensation.

Notes
1) Transport dimensions of genset only. Accessory components must be taken into account separately.
2) Series (A, B, C-60Hz, C-50Hz-low energy fuel) include losses for engine-mounted JW & AC mechanical coolant pumps. Series (C-50Hz-Natural Gas, E & H) exlcude engine-mounted JW & AC pumps.
In accordance with ISO 3046/1 using standard low voltage (medium voltage for > 2000kW) generator at PF=1.0. Assumes methane number of MN80 for natural gas, MN 130 for low energy fuel.
3) In accordance with nominal tolerances. Calculated as exhaust gas heat cooled (to 120ºC) plus engine jacket water circuit heat.
* NOx emissions as NO2 dry exhaust gas @ 5% O2 with 54°C (130°F) SCAC inlet temperature [48°C (118°F) for H Series]. <500 mg/mn3 (1.0g/bhp-h) NOx performance available via engine
setting for lean burn engines or via 3-way catalyst for rich burn engines. Ultra-low NOx options available via SCR catalyst.
Low energy fuels (landfill gas, sewage gas, digester gas, coal mine methane) assumed to meet published engine-in contaminant limits with minimum heating value (LHV) = 18.0 MJ/mn3 (457 Btu/scf).
Natual gas fuels assumed to be mostly methane with a lower heating value (LHV) = 35.6 MJ/mn3 (905 Btu/scf).
Specifications for special gases are available.
