Waukesha VGF

For decades, the Waukesha VGF range of engines has demonstrated excellent performance in harsh environments, whatever the application: power generation, gas compression and as a mechanical drive. The turbocharger delivers uncompromising performance up to 5,000 ft above sea level at ambient temperatures of 100 °F. The VGF GE lean mixture engines can be operated at altitudes up to 5,500 ft above sea level without power reduction.

FUEL VERSATILITY

The low compression ratio (LCC) version increases the engine's ability to maintain full power when running on fuels with a wide range of calorific values. VGF engines operate efficiently on fuels with a wide thermodynamic range (BTU) from 400 BTU of organic waste gas to 2,300 BTU of HD-5 propane.

COMBINED HEAT AND POWER GENERATION

Operation with optional water jacket thermostats up to 210 °F (99 °C) makes the VGF family motors the optimum solution for various CHP (combined heat and power) or combined heat and power applications.

FUEL PRESSURE VARIATION

VGF engines can be configured for low pressure boost or high pressure boost (0.5 to 50 psig (pound/sq.in. elected)).
