With its MGT gas turbine series achieving highest efficiency in the 6 MW class, MAN Diesel & Turbo is showcasing its entire product portfolio at this year’s PowerGen Asia in Seoul, Korea. “With a product range that’s unique in the market, MAN Diesel & Turbo is able to provide both gas and diesel engines as well as gas and steam turbines as a one-stop-shop solution”, said Wayne Jones, board member for Global Sales and After Sales.
“Whether it’s engine or turbine technology, we are able to provide clients with the best solution suitable for each and every project requirement.”
On its booth in Seoul, the German manufacturer presents among others the MGT’s efficient and eco-friendly use in combined heat and power plants. Deployed in the SAIC Volkswagen production works close to Shanghai, four MGT turbines in a CHP setup replace existing coal-fired boilers. The engines support the customer in meeting stricter emission regulations – especially viable in a country like China, where authorities seek to improve air quality.
The proven MAN 35/44G forms the heart of the CHP solution – a 4-stroke gas engine which can be specified with either single or two stage turbo charging. With the so-called Two-Stage engines, a low and a high pressure compressor are coupled in series, thereby increasing the efficiency of the engine. The single-stage turbocharged 20-cylinder version has a mechanical power output of 10 MW, the Two-Stage version 12.4 MW; but it is also available in a 12- cylinder V version with 7.4 MW output.
The company also presents its portfolio of steam turbines, applicable for biomass, waste-to-energy, waste heat recovery or combined cycle applications. With a steam turbine production site in Bangalore, India, MAN Diesel & Tubro recently added up its production network in the region of Southeast Asia, while this network already comprises a turbomachinery plant in Changzhou, China, as well as an engineering and production center for diesel engines in Aurangabad, India.
