In today’s marketplace, improved efficiency is critical; due to both the competitive cost of electricity and the reduction of CO2 emissions in a carbon-constrained environment. The new J624 2-stage Turbocharged—developed by ABB for GE’s gas engine—achieves approximately 10 percent higher output, increasing from 4 megawatts (MW) to 4.4 MW, and offers an electrical efficiency of 46.5 percent, an increase of about 2 percent. |

Benefits of a two-stage turbo
While all gas engine applications work well with our new fuel flexible turbocharged J624 engine, there are two areas where you’ll find it excels - large power generation projects, including multiple engines, and CHP or cogeneration solutions – making the new J624 even more economically practical than gas engines with single-stage turbocharging. The J624 2-stage Turbocharged is a real-game changer, especially for applications in locations with hot and humid conditions. |

History GE Energy’s Jenbacher gas engine division has over 50 years of experience in developing and manufacturing gas engines for all types of gaseous fuels. Over its history of gas engine innovation, GE’s development program has continually driven output and efficiency for all versions to new records. First introduced to the market in 1988, the type 6 gas engine originally came in a 12- or 16-cylinder version. Ten years later, the type 6 20-cyclinder version with an electrical output of 2.8 MW was introduced. This version was developed based on the exceptional performance of the type 3 20-cylinder version. At the time, the 20-cylinder type 6 engine was the first high-speed gas engine and the smallest package in the 3 MW output range. Since then, engine performance has continuously improved on the type 6 family. Based on the step-by-step development program, the F-version was created, which provided full output and efficiency over a wide range of ambient conditions. In 2007, GE introduced the world’s first 24-cylinder gas engine for commercial operation. Underlining the product line’s technology excellence with gas engines, the 24-cylinder engine was built on almost 20 years of experience with the type 6 engine family, which now has an installed fleet of more than 2,000 units. In June 2010, GE introduced the next generation of gas engines with advanced turbocharger technology. The new J624 2-stage Turbocharged gas engine significantly pushes out the gas engine operating range, and maintains full output and efficiency at high ambient temperatures and high elevation. |
