Series Four Head For decades, GE’s Waukesha* VHP* L7042GSI has delivered reliable performance in gas compression, power generation and mechanical drive applications. Then in 1998, Waukesha released the Series Four product line, which was designed to operate in the same challenging applications but at higher loads and temperatures than the previous L7042GSI. Benefits of the next-generation L7042GSI S4 include: Now, thousands of Series Four engines later, we’re combining the legacy of the L7042GSI with those same proven Series Four components—applied at lower temperatures and loads—to create the...
