The MWM® gas engine series: Innovation in decentralized energy generation
For many years, MWM® gas engines have been known for quality, reliability, and innovation in the field of decentralized energy generation. With a long history and a strong dedication to sustainable solutions, the MWM® brand has established itself as a popular company in Germany and worldwide.
In this article, we will examine the various series of MWM® gas engines and emphasize the benefits they offer.
The benefits of MWM® gas engines
MWM® gas engines offer a multitude of advantages for decentralized energy generation. They are efficient, environmentally friendly, and versatile. These engines can be operated with a wide range of fuels, including biogas, landfill gas, and natural gas. They are suited for use in combined heat and power plants (CHP) and cogeneration plants, as they simultaneously generate electricity and heat.
With a wide range of power levels and a compact design, MWM® gas engines are a good solution for sustainable and efficient energy production.
The TCG2016 series
These engines are designed for use with various fuels such as natural gas and biogas. They are characterized by high efficiency and low emission levels, which makes them usable for combined heat and power plants (CHP) and generators.
The TCG2020 series
These engines provide even higher power capabilities and lower emissions. With advanced technology and an improved power plant control system, they are a suitable choice for demanding applications in decentralized energy generation.
The TCG3016 and TCG3020 series
The MWM® TCG3016 and TCG3020 series are the all-round talents of the brand. They offer flexibility and versatility with a wide range of power levels. These engines are designed to run on various fuels and are ideal for use in a wide variety of applications.
The application as combined heat and power (CHP) plants
MWM® gas engines have proven to be highly versatile and efficient, and they are widely used in a variety of applications. Their role in combined heat and power (CHP) plants is particularly notable. A CHP plant is a facility that generates electricity and heat simultaneously by utilizing a gas engine.
MWM® gas engines are appropriate for this task, as they can efficiently utilize the generated heat. This positions them as a fitting option for companies, industrial plants, and public facilities that aim to enhance their energy efficiency and reduce their energy costs.
