Product catalog summary

Overview: This document provides comprehensive specifications and power ratings for GE's Waukesha gas engines, focusing on models like the P9394GSI and 275GL*+. It details engine displacement, bore and stroke, compression ratios, and power outputs at various RPMs.

Specifications: The document lists engine models with their respective displacements, bore and stroke measurements, and compression ratios. For example, the 16V 275GL+ has a displacement of 17,398 in³ (285 L) with a bore and stroke of 10.83 x 11.81 inches (275 x 300 mm) and a compression ratio of 9:1.

Power Ratings: Power outputs are provided in both brake horsepower (bhp) and kilowatts (kWb) across different RPMs. For instance, the 16V 275GL+ delivers 36,255 bhp (27,035 kWb) at 750 RPM and 48,355 bhp (36,055 kWb) at 1000 RPM.

Operational Notes: The document outlines conditions for continuous and intermittent duty operations, including permissible overloads and operational limits. Continuous power ratings allow for up to 10% overload for two hours in a 24-hour period, while intermittent power ratings are limited to 3500 hours per year.

Fuel and Environmental Considerations: Engines are designed to operate on natural gas, with some models capable of using alternative fuels like bio-gas and HD-5 propane. Specific models are equipped with low Btu fuel systems for operation on fuels with lower calorific values.

Cooling and Temperature Specifications: The engines are rated with an intercooler water temperature (Tcra) of 130°F (54°C). Adjustments for ambient and altitude conditions are available upon request.

Generator Ratings: The document provides generator continuous and standby power ratings, emphasizing that no overload is allowed for standby power applications. Ratings are based on a power factor of 0.8 and specific generator efficiencies.

Additional Notes: The document includes various footnotes and references to technical data for specific operational adjustments and configurations, such as low fuel pressure systems and turbocharger operations.

Engine Models and Specifications: Detailed specifications for various Waukesha engine models are provided, including their displacement, bore and stroke dimensions, compression ratios, and power outputs at different RPMs.

0GSI: Compression ratio of 8:1, with power outputs ranging from 1162 to 1379 at 1500 RPM and 867 to 1029 at 1800 RPM.
P9390GL: Compression ratio of 10.5:1, with power outputs ranging from 1184 to 1578 at 1500 RPM and 883 to 1177 at 1800 RPM.
L7044GSI: Displacement of 7040 in³ (115.4 L), bore and stroke of 9.375 x 8.5 inches, compression ratio of 8:1, with power outputs ranging from 864 to 1152 at 1500 RPM and 644 to 859 at 1800 RPM.
L5794GSI: Displacement of 5788 in³ (94.9 L), bore and stroke of 8.5 x 8.5 inches, compression ratio of 8.2:1, with power outputs ranging from 789 to 1052 at 1500 RPM and 588 to 785 at 1800 RPM.
F3524GSI: Displacement of 3520 in³ (57.7 L), bore and stroke of 9.375 x 8.5 inches, compression ratio of 8:1, with power outputs ranging from 472 to 629 at 1500 RPM and 352 to 469 at 1800 RPM.

Engine Designations: Prefix designations indicate the number of cylinders, except for the 275GL model. Suffix designations indicate the type of aspiration and combustion technology, such as naturally aspirated (G), turbocharged intercooled (GSI), and turbocharged intercooled lean burn (GL).
