Amazing, know these type of engines have industry leading and best inclass near zero "bad actor emissions" especially on NG. How does the efficiency compare to GT and CC Cogen operation, is it at or near 30% prime mover eff? And can these type of engines be scaled up from 18MW to 75 or even 250 MW class, for stationary electrical generation. Or do the reciprocal acceleration forces on piston push rods and rings just become too great? Hope someone can and is willing to comment on atleast some of these questions on ytube forum...thanks in advance 🤓
As a mechanical engineer, and a master mechanic, I have to say that clean energy is not fossil fuel. Solar, yes. Petroleum combustion? No. Very cool engine though.
G Kuljian if the engine achieves near zero bad actor emissions, NoX, SoX, particulates etc, which I believe these engines achieve, especially on NG, it's a very good example of sustainable development and near-term / mid-term energy planning.
Nothing is "clean" and as a mechanical engineer you should know that its unpractical to impossible to scale up renewable energys and all the storage wich is needed.

Nice looking MAN engine

why not Turbine?
Not sure. Probably initial cost and maintenance costs.
