MTU NATURAL GAS GENERATOR
MTU natural gas generator sets utilize cutting-edge technology that offers combined heat and power (CHP), as well as combined heat, power, and cooling (CHPC) for ultimate efficiency. All of our generator sets combine the highest performance with the lowest emissions in the 250 kWe – 2,535 kWe power range.And now, with the ability to use a blend of natural gas and hydrogen, our highly-efficient gas gensets powered by the mtu Series 4000 are even more eco-friendly and future ready. They also have the possibility to be converted to 100% hydrogen, for when hydrogen is more widely accessible and economical as a primary fuel.Class-leading power density: Advanced and proven. The mtu Series 4000 system comes with a heat recovery unit that provides the basis for optimized auxiliary efficiencies. The system includes generator, ignition system, motor interface panel (MIP), Automation system (MMC) and knock detection
