KG2 Running Reliability Around The Clock
Around The World
The KG2 gas turbine has built up a reputation for reliability and
ease of operation and maintenance in continuous duty applications. Oil and gas operators
worldwide, both onshore and offshore, achieve dependable performance from their KG2
generator sets. Many industrial customers in Europe and elsewhere rely on a single KG2
generator set for their electrical energy and process heat.
Overall thermal efficiency in these CHP installation is
between 75-90 % depending on the type of exhaust heat utilization.
These robust units are thoroughly proven, with over 15.000.000 hours of operation in
marine, industrial and desert environments.
Compact and Reliable Standby Systems
KG2 generator sets have found wide international acceptance in the
role of standby power systems, especially where starting and operating reliability are of
paramount importance. Single and
multiple unit KG2 systems are installed in computer and
telecommunication centres, hospitals, airports, banks, with water and electricity authorities, and on offshore
platform and onshore compressor stations etc.
These compact, low weight generator sets are frequently installed at rooftop level
where the value of real estate is relatively low.
Designed For Ease of Operation and Maintenance
For a compact package, a KG2 generator set is amazingly accessible. But it didnt
just happen.
We have learned a lot, both from our customers and our own field service
engineers. As a result, KG2 units are carefully designed and built with the user in mind.
On skid systems are individually modularised and located to ensure easy access.
Inspection covers and ports permit rapid internal inspection.
Items such as fuels nozzles
and combustion chamber which are subject to preventative maintenance routines can be
easily withdrawn for inspection and cleaning.
All this, with a high basic engine reliability, enables KG2 turbine users to achieve an
operational availability averaging 98.28 %.
