MWM TCG 3020
The MWM TCG 3020 series of gas engines offers an advanced blend of high performance and dependability. With electrical efficiency reaching up to 45%, this generation provides approximately 18% more power output compared to the previous model — without requiring more space. Designed for longevity, it allows for extended maintenance intervals of up to 80,000 operating hours under optimal gas conditions, and can deliver total system efficiency exceeding 87% when running on natural gas. Engineered for modern industrial demands, these gas engines — ranging from 1,380kWe to 2,300kWe — are built to support smart energy infrastructure. Equipped with TPEM (Total Plant & Energy Management), a fully integrated digital control platform, the system ensures peak operational performance, enhanced availability, and streamlined plant management.

Profit
The optimised maintenance concept with cylinder units simplifies accessibility and, along with reduction of the number of different parts, minimises the time required for maintenance.
2
Longer
Longer
Run Times
Thanks to the extended service intervals, runs up to 200 hours longer per annum than comparable products. The major overhaul is scheduled after 80,000 operating hours
3
Generator Reliability
The particle-free combustion, with pre-chamber spark plugs, extends the service intervals for the exhaust gas heat exchanger and reduces service costs compared to other combustion methods.
