DIESEL GENERATOR SETS mtu SERIES 1600
Trouble-free operation even under extreme ambient conditions. // POWER RANGE 60 Hz: 400 – 600 kWe
Ready for every challenge
Wide range of applications – full flexibility
From industrial factories to data centers and from hospitals topower stations, the global demand for energy continues to rise. Thenew Series 1600 diesel generator sets meet your requirementsand deliver the necessary power supply at any location and at anytime. Customers around the world trust in us to provide reliable power for a wide range of applications, in all types of conditions.
Originally designed and developed for power generation applications, our new Series 1600 generator set portfolio coversdiesel generator sets in the 450 - 700 kVA power range. They are available in 50 Hz and 60 Hz versions and are compliant with state-of-the-art industry codes and standards. The gensets are compact, powerful, robust and easy to integrate any future energy landscape - just where you need them.
Full flexibility. Fully scalable.
With its unique low-load operation capability the mtu Series 1600 guarantees maximum fuel savings in combination with renewables to reduce C02 emissions while still ensuring a stable grid. This makes the mtu Series 1600 gensets a perfect match for solar-PV hybrid applications and microgrids.
Highest and fastest availability
Mission-critical systems require fast-start capability and one-step load acceptance. That’s why we have designed our systems to make more power available within only a few seconds. We offer industry-leading load factors of up to 100%, which exceed the established industry norms and allow even more operating hours for prime, emergency standby and data center applications.
This way, we can deliver sophisticated power solutions with even more actual available power than other manufacturers with the same nominal power — whatever the circumstances. With the recent introduction of the Data Center Continuous Rating our mtu Series 1600 products are also in compliance with the high requirements of the Uptime Institute’s Tier I-IV certification levels. Thousands of mtu system solutions provide peace of mind all around the world.
Maximum resilience
Our mtu Series 1600 gensets operate trouble-free with the highest power quality even under extreme conditions. They have proven their resiliency again and again in continuous operation and with full loads in the heat, cold, and dust, as well as with frequent load changes. In addition to their well-known longevity, their low-maintenance construction and long service intervals also ensure cost-effectiveness. They minimize expenses and downtime and ensure that all equipment is fully operational again in record time. The thermodynamics of our mtu Series 1600 engines are specifically designed for power generation purposes with a focus on sound attenuation and noise reduction.
Low life-cycle costs
mtu Series 1600 gensets are well known for their low life-cycle costs. They show best-in-class values for low fuel consumption and resilience. With our time-based overhaul concept for the Series 1600, there is also no need for intermediate overhauls or replacement of major engine components during the engine‘s lifetime.Once the standard end-of-life is reached, our scheduled Series 1600 overhaul solution provides the same peace of mind as a traditional overhaul, but at a fraction of the cost. Before the probability of wear-out related failures increases, time-worn components are replaced, ensuring the same availability as before. A removal or reinstallation of the system is not required, only an exchange of selected engine components.
