300 Series Coal Gas & Syngas Generator Sets
The 300 series Coal Gas generator sets are expertly engineered to utilize industrial by-product gases—such as coke oven gas, blast furnace gas, semi-coke gas, and producer gas—as their primary fuel source.
By converting these industrial exhaust gases into electricity, the Powermax 300 series transforms what was once waste into a valuable energy asset. This approach not only replaces expensive grid electricity but also significantly reduces the environmental pollution associated with flaring or venting industrial gases, aligning perfectly with circular economy principles.
Adopting this technology is of great significance for industrial facilities aiming to establish a sustainable energy system, reduce operational costs, and meet stringent emission regulations.
Power Range: The standard 300 series coal gas/syngas generator sets cover a versatile power range from 400kW to 1000kW.
Main Technical Features of 300 Series Coal Gas Gensets
In practical industrial applications, the 300 series coal gas generator sets offer distinct engineering advantages compared to high-speed equipment available in the market:
1. Flexible Output for Direct Grid Connection
The 300 series can be customized to output voltage at 10.5kV, 6.3kV, or 400V. This flexibility allows for direct connection to industrial loads or the local grid without the need for initial step-up transformers, significantly reducing investment costs and copper losses, thereby improving overall efficiency.
2. Stable Power via Large Bore & Long Stroke
Adapted from a robust heavy-duty chassis, the engine features a 300mm cylinder diameter. Its large bore, long stroke, and optimized rotational speed provide a substantial power reserve. This design is exceptionally suitable for coal gas, ensuring stable power output even when gas pressure or calorific value fluctuates.
3. Extended Service Life (Low Speed Operation)
Operating at rated speeds of 500r/min and 600r/min, the low-speed design significantly reduces the wear on friction pairs within the engine. This extends the overhaul interval, reduces the consumption of spare parts, and improves the long-term economic return for the plant.
4. Two Optimized Technical Paths: Naturally Aspirated & Supercharged
For standard models, we utilize a naturally aspirated design (requiring gas source pressure >2kPa). This allows the genset to accept a wider variety of coal gases safely. The self-aspirating intake system eliminates complex turbocharging components on these models, resulting in a simpler system with a significantly lower failure rate.
For High-Power Models (Supercharged & Inter-cooled): As detailed in Section 4, our pressurized series employs advanced supercharging technology to achieve higher power density and efficiency for demands from 800kW to 3000kW.
5. Simplified Maintenance
The 300 series features a straightforward, inline or V-type structure that provides ample operation space. The design allows for easy access to key components like the crankshaft and pistons, greatly saving time during maintenance. Repairs can be conveniently performed on-site without removing the engine.
6. Multi-Level Safety Defense System
Safety is paramount when handling coal gas. The system includes advanced air-fuel ratio control, explosion-proof valves in the intake system to release pressure in case of backfire, flame arresters to prevent flame spread, and solenoid valves to instantly cut off the gas source in emergencies.
7. CHP: High Efficiency via Waste Heat Recovery
The system supports Combined Heat and Power (CHP). Exhaust gas can be routed to a waste heat boiler to generate steam or hot water for industrial processing. Additionally, the engine's jacket water can be used for heating. Through this comprehensive utilization, total thermal efficiency can reach up to 70%.
8. Intelligent Monitoring & Management
The genset features a comprehensive computer monitoring system for online data tracking. It supports remote management, automatic grid synchronization, intelligent fault diagnosis, and automatic adjustment of the air-fuel ratio, ensuring unattended and optimized operation.
