Engine Design
  • Built on G3500 LE proven reliability and durability
  • Ability to burn a wide spectrum of gaseous fuels
  • Robust diesel strength design prolongs life and lowers owning and operating costs
  • Broad operating speed range at lower site air densities (high altitude/hot ambient temperatures)
Ultra Lean Burn Technology (ULB)
ULB technology uses an advanced control system, a better turbo match, improved air and fuel mixing, and a more sophisticated combustion recipe to provide: - Lowest engine-out emissions - Highest fuel efficiency - Improved altitude and speed turndown - Stable load acceptance and load rejection
Advanced Digital Engine Management
ADEM A3 engine management system integrates speed control, air/fuel ratio control, and ignition/detonation controls into a complete engine management system. ADEM A3 has improved: user interface, display system, shutdown controls, and system diagnostics.
Full Range of Attachments
Large variety of factory-installed engine attachments reduces packaging time.
