MTU Series 4000 gas engine is quite a successful one. Part of Rolls-Royce’s MTU-branded product portfolio since October 2004, in less than 16 years the company was able to sell the 3000th gas genset, which will be delivered to VPower Group, one of the world’s leading system integrators in the power generation sector, for a customer project in Myanmar.
MTU Series 4000: made in Germany
MTU Series 4000 gas engines are produced at Rolls-Royce’s plant in Friedrichshafen and subsequently built into complete systems at its Augsburg facility. «Here in Augsburg, the majority of our people work on the Series 4000 now – not just in production, but on R&D activity as well. Our engineers are continuously working on improving the efficiency and performance of the system», said Bernhard Bächle, head of the Augsburg facility.
The array of applications in which gas systems are used ranges from pure power generation to combined heat and power (CHP) co-generation, where the system’s waste heat is also used alongside the electrical power output, putting overall efficiencies of 90 percent-plus within reach.
