The G351 2H, the third of the H-Series product line from Caterpillar Inc. is now available for operation using natural gas as a fuel. This generator set can provide 1,500 kWe power output at 50 Hz and 60 Hz and offers electrical efficiency of up to 44.6%/60Hz and 44.9%/50Hz and decreased maintenance costs. Recent product developments – including cuffed cylinder liners, updated valve stem sealing, and increased valve train lubrication – have minimised the number of maintenance events and reduced oil consumption over previous levels. Additionally, the new model features an open combustion chamber design, which allows use of a low-pressure fuel system (1.5 to 5 psi/ 10.2 to 34.5 kPa) that facilitates maximum performance on pipeline natural gas.
