New Package Delivers Up to 89.4% Total Efficiency
WAUKESHA, Wis., Thursday, August 5th 2010 [ME NewsWire]:
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dresser Waukesha, a leading manufacturer of natural gas engines that deliver clean, cost-effective power, has introduced a new combined heat and power (CHP) package for its APG1000 generator set designed to maximize total efficiency in CHP applications.
The new CHP package for the 1MW APG1000 is expected to achieve up to 89.4% total efficiency (thermal plus electrical) in combined heat and power applications. In addition to generating electricity, CHP applications increase total system efficiency by utilizing engine heat for various purposes such as heating a building or industrial processes. This effectively doubles the amount of usable energy created by the engine.
Dresser Waukesha’s experienced technical staff utilized state-of-the-art technology to develop a highly refined CHP package that maximizes total efficiency while minimizing packaging time and cost. The new APG1000 CHP package utilizes an optimized piping arrangement, plus these additions to the traditional Waukesha scope of supply:
* A skid-mounted cooling sub-system that optimizes the amount of recoverable engine heat and maximizes total efficiency by providing a single customer circuit inlet with a temperature of up to 80°C (176°F).
* The new ECP8000 control panel which is optimized for CHP applications. The ECP8000 is user-friendly, factory-supplied and designed to monitor, control and protect the APG1000 CHP package. The panel can be field-programmed to control customer-supplied components of the CHP system, such as pumps, ventilation fans and control valves.
* A skid-mounted gas train with valve-proving system, Dungs® regulator and double blocking valve simplifies packaging and complies with common European and American packaging codes.
“With the APG1000 configured for CHP, Dresser Waukesha has a finely-tuned design that achieves world-class efficiency levels and yet remains flexible enough to meet end-users’ varying requirements for water temperature levels and flow rates,” said Ben Ross, Product Engineering Manager, Dresser Waukesha.
The new CHP package for the APG1000 is now available. To learn more, visit http://www.dresserwaukesha.com/index.cfm/go/product-detail/product/APG1000_CHP/

Dresser Waukesha Announces Newest Model in Successful 275GL High Performance Engine Series
New 12V275GL+ Delivers 0.5 g/bhp-hr NOx Capability and Highest Power Rating in Class
WAUKESHA, Wis., Thursday, July 29th 2010 [ME NewsWire]:
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dresser Waukesha, a leading manufacturer of natural gas engines that deliver clean, cost-effective power, has added a fourth model to its 275GL Series of gas compression engines. The new 12-cylinder 12V275GL+, like its 16-cylinder counterpart, is a high-performance model with low NOx capability and class-leading power rating.
With its low NOx capability, the new 12V275GL+ meets the current 0.5 g/bhp-hr NOx requirement for non-attainment areas. Like its 16-cylinder counterpart, the 12V265GL+ model is equipped with a NOx sensor that directly measures NOx in the exhaust stream enabling real-time, closed-loop control of the air/fuel ratio to assure optimum performance.
The plus (“+”) symbol in the 12V275GL+ name refers to a series of competitive advantages that go beyond low emissions and include 2% better fuel efficiency along with Waukesha’s well-known fuel flexibility for maximum performance on a wide variety of fuel gas compositions and quality. The 12V275GL+ is rated at 3625 bhp at 1000 rpm and delivers the most power in its class, maximizing gas throughput and customer profits. In addition, the 12V275GL+ operates at full load with no derate at higher altitudes than competitive models.
Like other 275GL Series engines, the new 12V275GL+ is designed to simplify and improve packaging, operation and service. It is equipped with an enhanced version of Dresser Waukesha’s ESM® engine control system to optimize engine performance and maximize uptime. The 12V275GL+ also features a hydroelastic damper that reduces service costs by eliminating the need for damper fluid sampling.
“The 12V275GL+ is the newest engine in the Waukesha product lineup that is designed to address current and future emissions concerns while still providing the higher power and application flexibility our customers have come to expect,” said Lloyd Beauchamp, vice president-gas compression sales for Dresser Waukesha.
The 12V275GL+, along with the other three models in the 275GL Series, is available for order immediately. To learn more, visit http://www.waukeshaengine.com/index.cfm/go/product-detail/product/12V275GL_plus_Gas_Compression.
