Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

When purchasing an open-set engine, you will need to acquire additional equipment for proper gas power unit (GPU) operation, such as:

• Necessary piping systems
• Control cabinets
• Exhaust gas systems, etc.

You will also need to provide a dedicated indoor space and plan the layout of all auxiliary equipment, as most GPUs are not designed for outdoor use and are quite loud. Therefore, we recommend containerized solutions to our clients. Why?

• The container already includes all the necessary equipment for correct and safe operation (e.g., gas detectors, fire suppression systems, and all required piping).
• It offers a compact footprint and significantly reduces noise levels.
• The container can be installed outdoors without worrying about environmental impact on the unit.

Maintenance schedules are typically provided by the manufacturer.

• Every 500 operating hours, an oil sample is taken and analyzed in a specialized laboratory to determine the optimal oil change interval. Standard oil changes occur every 4,000 hours.
• We simultaneously monitor the level and condition of cooling fluids.
• Every 3,000 hours, minor maintenance is performed (replacement of consumables).
• At 41,000 hours, an intermediate overhaul is conducted, including the replacement of specific engine and alternator components.
• At 84,000 hours, a major overhaul is performed. After this, the unit's lifecycle is essentially reset.

Financial breakdown: If total lifetime costs are 100%, fuel accounts for 89%, the initial cost of the unit is 5%, and maintenance over 84,000 hours is 6%.

Our industrial gas engines are designed for long-term, heavy-duty operation.

• Up to 60,000–84,000 operating hours before a major overhaul.
• High reliability under continuous load and in parallel operation within energy systems.
• Service life is maximized through the use of genuine spare parts and strict adherence to service regulations. This makes them the perfect choice for critical infrastructure, data centers, and large-scale manufacturing.

Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat. A unit produces roughly the same amount of heat as electricity. By adding heat exchangers, you can produce hot water (90-95°C) or steam for heating or industrial processes (e.g., in dairies or breweries).
Economic Benefit: Using waste heat significantly reduces the cost of electricity. According to our calculations, while grid power costs may be high, electricity produced by our GPU with heat recovery can be up to 50% cheaper. Each ton of recovered steam saves approximately 80 cubic meters of natural gas.
Trigeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity, heat, and cooling (in the form of chilled water at 5°C). These units are widely used in temperature-controlled warehouses and logistics hubs.
Quadgeneration adds the production of purified CO2 from exhaust gases to the mix. These solutions are highly effective in greenhouses to boost plant growth and in the carbonated beverage industry.
