Dunno if it's in the right spot, but I'm sure there's some knowledge about about engines here..
I'm buying a Genset for my job which consists of a stationary engine and a Generator..
Engine wise I have 3 options but I dunno what's best..
Option 1
Jenbacher JMS 416 48.9L V16
b/s 145/185mm -> ratio 0,78
70 degrees
lambda 1,79
1222kW @ 1500rpm
Option 2
MTU 4000 48.8L V12
b/s 165/190 -> ratio 0,87
90 degrees
lambda unknown
1200kW @ 1500rpm
Option 3
Caterpillar G3512E 51.7L V16
b/s 170/190 -> ratio 0,89
60 degrees
lambda 1,75
1243kW @ 1500rpm
fuel is Natural Gas 31.650 kJ/Nm3
The MTU engine is cheaper to buy and slightly cheaper to maintain. But the Jenbacher has best fuel economy and gives 1% more electrical power from it's generator.
The cat is in between for both options..
All have a lifespan of 60.000-64.000hrs
what are the pro's and con's of named engines? anyone knowing of problems with either of those?
