Back in the 1970s I was in the Air Force and managed diesel electric plants. The biggest I ever operated were 1000 KW straight 8 cyl Worthington diesel powered generators. We had four of them in a power plant in which we paralleled them to commercial power for Titan IV satellite launches. This thing is immense!!!
2022 now and suddenly we are going to replace these with Pixie dust and warm hugs and feelings. Texas winter has already proven renewables must be backed up for reliable electrical power.
I operate 2 jenbacher 16 cilinder in v format , 4 mw working on biogaz my question is Cat it hawe the save V model 10 mw and is working only with G20 natural gaz can be convert to biogaz .
Yes it can be configured to run on natural well gas or digester gas, however the fuel requirment and CFM required at maximum load will be more suited to natural gas.
Hi Steve! Fuel consumption in ft3/kWhe is a function of the heating value of fuel. We guarantee heat rate at around 8,400 BTU/KWhe (ISO, measured at alternators terminals, with 0% tolerance, at High Heating Value). We can provide firm ratings once site conditions are informed. Please contact your local Cat Dealer for assistance.
The company i work, Natural Gas, for has several of the G12 GCM34's and G16 GCM34's very good engine. If you need more BHP than the 3600 series of engine this would be my choice. Take the Phase 2 not the Phase 1!

More parts: (push rods which have a habit of bending at higher revs) cam is buried in the centerline of the block not easily excisable for inspection,easier to facilitate multivalve design and better head flow characteristics,more mass for the engine to turn which adds more friction & thus lower fuel economy. Check most of the manufactures in the World, & you will see all good contemporary engines are OHC not OHV such as legacy engines.
Not disagreeing with you, but like yourself I appreciate cutting edge designs.Unlike the new European high speed, high rail pressure auto Diesels ( which are very quick, & quiet & clean) BIG Diesels are slow (parts don't ware out as fast, plus their mass is so large it has to turn slow & get good fuel consumption) I guess you don't need high tech OHC designs,but I am thinking...you still can eliminate some parts...2 or 4 pushrods/ cylinder? Wouldn't this be better?
I forgot the most important design feature for pushrod engines, you can have individual cylinder heads facilitating easier head removal and repairs, unlike a one piece cylinder head which incorporates an OHC! Plus you need all the repairability to R&R one cylinder at a time on those big MAN behemoth engines used in ships. How's that for a compromise!
+Don G. Right on the money. ease of maintenance my friend. Generally if this engine was OHC it would take much longer to perform a top end or inframe overhaul. More than likely this generator set up will be used as prime power since it is using NG fuel. Meaning it will need overhauls more frequently than a standby. On an OHC set up It can be very costly to a customer if just one single head is leaking. Unlike this set up which is like a 3600. I overhauled 3600 engines in the field. With 3 to 4 other techs depending on how many cylinders and we could inframe overhaul it in the field in 1 week. That would of not have been the case with an OHC setup. One time we accidentally sliced one of the o-rings on the spacer plates during an overhaul. When we fired her up she started leaking. We just simply removed that 1 head replaced the cut o-ring and torqued her back down. That whole process took less than an hour. If it would of been and OHC we would of been fucked.
Make up your mind it is either 10kw or 10mw, there is a MASSIVE difference. The title is a lie, no way is that engine going to make 10 mega watts of power.... CAT use to be a good name, but anymore it's rusting away they couldn't make it anymore in the onroad market and had to get out.
We have (6) 3512's each rated at 1,200 KW...that's 1.2 megawatts each. This 20 cylinder monster dwarfs the 3512...so, why do you think Caterpillar would produce a presentation with number's that weren't real? Do you think engineer's are going to miss this?

I believe this is our future engines for industrial applications and
eventually cars instead battery powered
What is the approximate price of the generator
Also in the 90's Caterpillar purchased a company in Germany called MaK. So this product is also engineered and build in Kiel and Rod stock Germany.

your from Germany ?
Tommy Henderson , screwed MAK a bit in the process doing so.

If you calculate it out, this displaces 762.6 liters/46,539 cubic inches/a hair under 1 cubic yard.
Question for CAT ?
why to keep a 10 MW generator in spinning reserve and that too gas generator ??
Marvelous, I hope I will work on it in future.
I would love to see a video of the factory that these are made at!
There is at least one up on youtube.
i want to ask about consumption of natural gas to generate 10 mega watt electrical power ??

Is this a diesel running on NG or its got spark plugs ?
Good question! I'd like to know too.
Me-three! As in, "As-Well"...☺
It is connected to a natural gas main supply line and uses spark plugs for ignition.
Some diesels run with a natural gas fuel but require pilot diesel fuel injection for ignition.
